    I'm so glad the former owner wanted to preserve this beautiful place. I love the water element that runs through and around the old mill, it's so connected to the land and the people who lived here. The valley is beautiful, especially with the mountains in the distance. Thanks again for letting us tag along on your adventures. You find the most interesting places for us to visit, it's always a treat when I see a new video posted. Happy Holidays to you and yours!🎄🎄

    I've recently discovered your videos and I've been mini binge-watching them. This one, in particular, I found so calming and serene. A theme runs through the most recent ones I've seen - about the things that we, in this time, are missing and, I think, yearning for - a sense of simplicity, of belonging, of connection to nature, of time not being connected to the clock, of being in control of our own lives, of self-sufficiency, growing things, earth, air, water, sky, wood, stone.

    I'm so glad this channel doesn't add any unnecessary background music and intro/outro stings which would take something away form the feeling of the natural flow of interview and exploration of people's spaces. It's often so peaceful watching these videos :)

    In the mid 90's I moved to Spain to be the caretaker in a house very similar to this. 400 yrs old, 22 rooms but sitting alone at the top of a mountain with a trecherous, narrow trail leading up to the house. It was love at first sight. I loved my time there all alone with a gang of feral cats and occasional trips to the tiny village for supplies, a coffee and a chat with the locals. But winter in houses like this is not for weaklings. But I fell in love with the nature, the people, the high quality of life and many other things. Still here ( have my own small cottage now) all these years later. Don't you love his accent when speaking English?

      @tangobayus Im just now 48, Ive had my own place for much of my life, and I stopped dating during lockdown. Now I find the drama, angst and mostly just the emotion of dating very difficult to handle so I avoid it. I still want a partner & kids but I really like living on my own terms too. I just assumed Im too far gone to partner up at this point. How did you "re-adjust" to shairing your life after being independent until 50?

      In today's society, those who are able to be quiet on their own without going awry are the ones resisting the "attack of stimuli" we are facing. These stimuli are fine-tailored to make us buy things we don't need, to prevent us from studying, reading, be content on our own. How many people you know can be quiet for a long while without cracking? I presume this percentage has increased over the decades. He who learns how to thrive in solitude is building a better life for the future, and a healthier one, too, for that matter. Learning to be alone is compatible with having a life partner and many relatives and friends we constantly see.

      Not a rule nor a law. Some people are loners and some even live isolated. Many people don't have partners and are not looking for one. We do depend on others (things at least). Very few are ascetics or hermits, and very few are truly self sufficient (not only food and clothes but any health issue like dental problems even). Most people can't bear being alone though, and also they look for fulfillment and happiness in people's love.

    First impression about ten seconds of video and area views: Perfect, awesome. 💯
    I've been watching your channel a long time. I like all the things you show. Modern homes are cool. But as a history buff, the Medieval Age and Dark Age turn me on. The architecture, castles, palaces, cathedrals, villages and archeology; I can never not watch to learn.
    This place is a treasure of information and centuries of life, love and hardship. 🧐💯👍

    • @ElizabethGrindon
      @ElizabethGrindon 6 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I recently had to get a toilet riser because I pulled a muscle on the side of my knee and it was hell to lower myself onto the toilet and it came with arms. It's just a toilet seat that screws onto the toilet and raises it about 5 inches but it does have those arms! Which lets you use your arm strength to get up instead of relying strictly on your knees.

    it seems that youtube has decided to auto translate video titles, and I can assure you that in french the translation is an absolute disaster (can't see the original title, but in french it sounds like people have been "humiliated", while I guess you probably used "humbled". Same for the automatic voice over translation, but at least we can change it (it's a pain though). It seems that as a creator you can deactivate those things, and in my opinion you really should...

      Perhaps he'd be better working 24x7 at a miserable job that prevents him from being outside, in order to buy stuff to get to work and perks he might not need. I'd say: he's enjoying, getting along with the horses and nature, learning from books, going in the city when he needs to. It will be a moment in his life that will make him better, stronger. Knowing to be on one's own without the constant buzz of stimuli became a superpower in our society. When he's ready, he'll do more things. Meanwhile, you can live your life too. To each their own.
