As a photographer for 50 years, I can say the images on your videos are superb. The mood you convey is heartwarming and it draws your viewers into your world of peace and calmness. Thank you.
I have always thought her videos were exceptional but I have no expertise whatsoever in photography/videography. Your comment made me feel like my own opinion was correct all along!
WOW thank you so so much! That means a lot! 🙏🏻☀
@@CeciliaBlomdahl he is right, they are wonderful!
I wholeheartedly agree! ( :
@@CeciliaBlomdahlplease create a hardcover coffee table book we can purchase!! We would love it here in New Zealand!! ❤❤❤❤ 📖 I can assist getting it into high end stores here, if you are interested. ❤❤❤
Brushing Grim is a family affair 😂 This channel has been a cozy corner for me since 2021. ❤
“Why is life so hard sometimes ‘😂😂😂. National Geographic quality filming, beautiful ✨
😂 Thaaank youuuu! 🙏🏻
@@CeciliaBlomdahlWe LOVE YOUR CHANNEL❤
I LOVE CLEANING AS WELL🙏🏿🫡🇺🇲
Agree 💯
YESSSS‼️‼️‼️
I’m boiling to death in + 40° C weather here in the Southern California (Palm Springs) desert. How I wish I could hang my sheets and blankets in Artic weather. Weather is a challenge to us all. Watching your youtube makes me a little more chill here in this crazy heat. 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Thank you for naming the native plants of the tundra I love this!❤
My fave part for sure!!
I'm laughing....you brushing Grim, he's like putty in your hands. He's loving it. He's huge with all his winter fur. Love on that baby. ❤ Your channel
Your videos are so soothing to watch. Never any shouting or loud music. Just gentle guitar and talking
Yes, I totally remember your pre- cabin expansion days - taking your laundry to your friend's apartment in the village. The whole cabin expansion saga was so fascinating, as well - how building materials got to the island, and to the site.
I'll have to put a pin to watch that sometime... So busy with now, not much time to watch the previous...
What friends apartment? Ain’t nobody out there but her and her dog! Where’s civilization? I mean I know we all want peace and quiet but that’s too remote for me! No help if you get sick or injured! I mean I would feel so vulnerable!
@@fionaokeefe1906 They are just a few minutes' drive from the village of Longyearbyen where everything they need can be found. And it's not just her and Grim in the cabin. There is also her boyfriend Christoffer. And they have next door neighbors. She is hardly isolated.
I'm currently watching, hoping/waiting to get discharged from the hospital! Normally you keep me company when I make coffee and clean up the kitchen. You're always an awesome and calming person to listen to!
Hope you heal well and get home soon.
Hope your recovery is quick!
I hope u are feeling well and doing good
Hope you continue to feel better. I always feel so much calmer after discharge.
Hope you feel better soon.
Your videos are the perfect antidote to my summertime blues. I've never liked summer, not even as a kid. I hibernate in the air conditioning as much as possible and just wait for it to be over. I find the heat, humidity, and longer days really oppressive and I live for autumn and winter. Yesterday our "real feel" temp was 118°F - and we're in a mid-atlantic state, nowhere near the south. I would give anything for a rainy day that's 41°F, a fire in the fireplace, and needing to wear a jacket, but your video allows me to experience that and remember that better days are coming. Thank you a hundred times for that! ❤
And yes, I was here during your days in the original cabin! Loved watching the new space take shape.
Grimm having snuggles with daddy while mommy brushes him. 🥰 Then relaxes into spa mode when he’s getting his belly brushed. Love it…💕
I remember the original cabin when you had no water. Christoffer was much more shy back then. It's been lovely seeing him grow more comfortable with the camera. Love you guys and Grim! 💕
Oh my God, Grim is just beautiful. He turns into a baby when you are brushing him. You just want to hug him for being so handsome.😅
I recently got into building miniatures. I just finished building a kit that reminded me of your cabin, so I hung two "sheets" on the railing as a tribute to my favorite youtuber. PS The only Cecelia I ever "knew" before you was my grandmother.
Your vocabulary and ability to describe landscapes is just absolutely mind-blowing. You are taking me on a journey. It's just amazing. You need to think about writing a book! Something like "Diaries of 364 Days in Svalbard" or something like that, describing every single day of your life there and trips throughout the year. It will be a delightful read.
This could become a Grim grooming channel, and I would be absolutely enthralled! Haha! He is such a cutie pie ❤
Haha 😂🧡
Yes!!! Grim's Spa Day. Has a nice ring to it.❤😊😅
I am with you on ‘cozy rainy days’ I LOVE when it starts getting dark earlier, our fall/winter months in the US (Michigan), & I’ve never been able to pin point why..it’s b/c it’s cozy! Ppl think I’m nuts ❤
I love rainy days, but I hate the darkness in winter. 😜
You’re not nuts!! Fall is the best! I live in Southern California and it’s been 110+ here 🥵! Come on October 🍁
@@CarinaPiersay NJ, too. Heat index aroun1 107 daily and high humidity. It's horrible these days around the mid Atlantic.
@@michelleoh2735 I’m in the high desert of Southern California (elevation about 2,300) so it’s a dry heat. It cools off by about 30-35 degrees at night but I don’t know if I could do it with humidity 🥵!! I feel for ya. In a week the low will be 67… NICE 👍🏼
I love it too. Something cozy and warm and body hugging about fall/winter.
The axe handle breaking right before you finished chopping! That’s so ironic. Thank goodness you had a second axe. I loved this video of peaceful Svalbard life on a gloomy day. It may have been gloomy weather-wise, but you made the day warm and peaceful. You certainly brightened my day! Thank you, Cecilia.
Ooooh what a cosy cosy video! Thank you for sharing! I can almost smell the fresh arctic air🌧️🩵💙💎🙏
Glad you enjoyed it 😍🩵
Grim is so stinkin cute!! 🥰🩵
We missed your usual “🎵Byeeee🎵.” It makes us smile
Love you....BYEEEEEEEE ❤
@@TheMinimalistTherapist 🙂
Cecilia, you continue to be in my top five favorite TH-cam channels ever! I love every single video, whether it’s you in your cabin or you visiting your parents in Portgual (would LOVE even more videos of them because they’re so down to earth and lovely to watch!). Would also love to see another what I eat in a day/ a workout routine you do to stay in such great shape. Please! You look fantastic and beautiful!
Yup, I remember the jug of water you had next to the sink in the old kitchen. I believe you may have taken us to do laundry in town once. You gave Grim a bath in a friend's shower, too. 😘
That was probably the most peaceful 20 minutes I've spent in quite a while
Such a lovely way to wake up
Cecilia, you and Kristoffer are nice, and Svalbard is pretty cool, but the REAL reason I watch your videos is because of Grim! 😂He is just the cutest, sweetest, bestest Boi!! ❤❤
If you’re going to be mildly insulting, at least spelling Cristoffer’s name correctly
I have a Norwegian Forest Cat and I start every day with grooming him. He loves it and it's become a bonding experience for us ❤
We also have a Norwegian Forest cat Scrappy the retired barn cat who looks forward to his daily grooming.
I’m in south Florida. Summer is our rainy season. We usually get thunderstorms or at least a good tropical shower everyday around 3pm. June 1st is also the beginning of hurricane season. Hurricane season ends November 30th. Having been through many hurricanes, including Andrew on August 24th, 1992, I don’t take hurricanes lightly. I remember your pre running water days! ❤️
Love from South Africa 🇿🇦. Your content keeps me sane❤
Grim looks like he is feeling well and enjoys his brushing. The scenery around you is beautiful.
Love love LOVE the Svalbard landscape during this season. I want to visit and paint it someday!! 🖌️🎨
We don’t have 24/7 sun in Michigan where I live but we have sunlight from 6 a.m. until 9:15 p.m. The sun does not really disappear until about 10 p.m. So when we have a gloomy day of rain and thunderstorms I welcome that day to just be at home, read a good book and chill. It is a nice break from the constant sun and hot weather. ❤😊
Hello, fellow Michigander 😊 Roseville here. I know I am ready for another thunderstorm!
Same! Chiming in from Wisconsin
Sunlight here in Chicago too...
@@violetstarrlight Grosse Pointe! Woohoo!!
Life-long Harper Woods, Michigan resident. I love all four seasons, especially Autumn and I love a good rainy day. Started watching this channel during polar night a couple of years ago.
The way Christoffer is looking at you while you groom Grim. So sweet!
I found your channel just a few months ago but I've binge watched so much and your videos are so beautfiul and somehow comforting. When I need to step back from things, your vlogs are such perfect escapsim. And I love Grim, he is such a beautiful boy. Wishing you all well from the UK!
watching your video whilst its storming in Cape Town. So comforting. Thank you beautiful soul 🥰
My favorite part of Sunday is watching your video! Love fromThe Netherlands ❤️
7:14 Grim looks like a little prince with his attendants.
LOVE that Cecilia is building her own Sandershelf!
I remember the pre-cabin expansion days! I miss the OOTD when you had the jobs out in town. Each season in life is so precious. I can’t wait to see what’s next for y’all and I’m so ready for this upcoming fall and winter. I love a cozy and moody vibe.
2nd comment- the rain looks amazing. We are 100° this week in Portland, Oregon, but at heart, I am like you- a true cozy girl. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, you either love the rain or you hate it. I personally love it, especially if I can have a cozy day at home. ⛈️💧☔️😊
I love the rain also! Not to many feel like I do! I’m now living in eastern Washington and it’s so dusty here! 🥴I miss the cleanness of Western Washington!
" his pants are shedding..." My orange " garfield cat" has the same thing right now in the summer !!
Greetings from Sunny California! I really enjoy your videos. It was fun watching you brush all the excess fur from Grim, a.k.a. pooch baby. There's something so calming about your voice and your cozy rainy day experience. Many thanks, Cecilia, and for your recommended reading material, or at least what you are reading right now.
Your ability to see the beauty in such a desolate area shows how positive your attitude is😊
I still can't believe that I had the opportunity to meet Grim. He's such a love bug. 🐶❤
I adore rainy, dreary days for the same reason as everyone else. It really is cozy, and in summer you don’t often get “all day rain” like you get in spring and fall (at least here in Columbus, O).
Even though I love your travel vlogs, these cozy videos are my favorite. This is similar to your old vlogs that actually got me hooked to this channel. So peaceful and therapeutic. ❤
It's been raining 70% of the time this summer in Switzerland too. I actually like it. 😊
The ocean view...I could never tire of it. But the darkness and long winters...😮
Hello.. love those cozy rain days. I usually take a nap. With my fans on. Happy Sunday 😀😀. See ya next week
I LOVE the keeping of Grim's fur to make a sweater!!❤🐕 So sweet!
Since last october when I moved, until may was the first time I really noticed my seasonal depression, but on the other hand, I love the cosy evenings with some fairy lights, a candle, a cup of tea... During summer, these things don't have the same vibe due to long days
My seasonal depression is in the hot 🥵 (110+ here now in Southern California) incessant summer
@@CarinaPiersay during summer, it's quite hot here too, but my seasonal depression had to do with lack of natural light
@@Raven_TT ooh ok. I actually enjoy it getting dark early but maybe where you are you don’t have much daylight as I do. I’m in Southern California so it gets dark around 5-5:30 in the evening and the sun comes up around 7. But being that I live in the desert we don’t get a lot of cloudy, rainy days so that gives us more light too
Mine too, in Arizona… 113 F today. One bright spot, in the evening we went and had ice cream with the grandkids and sat outside with misters, not too bad! Hoping for some monsoon weather in the near future!
@@BethanyBridge then it will be humid
I love your channel! I live in the southern California desert, USA, where it is currently 118 F, 47 C. Our summers are at least 5 months long, from May through September. We normally have monsoons during this time, but with climate change, I've noticed they've basically stopped in our area. Unless the government has cloud-seeded, which they've done before. Then you can expect to float off because then it rains too much. 😅 Sometimes, during the summer months, it never drops below triple digits, 100 F, 37 C. Camping in our area, like your video from last week, has us dealing with rattle snakes, scorpions and tarantulas. We have camped before between October and April but it really just depends on when we have the cooler weather. During the end of December through the end of January temperatures can be as low as 13 F, -10 C at night, to 45 F, 7 C during the day. I hope you have the best day and week. 💗 Hugs to Grim.
I love where I live because I get to experience all seasons. Autumn is my favorite. Leaves red, yellow and orange with cool evenings.
I love this weather which for us happens right before the cold of Winter arrives and right after the Sunny Fall days go away... It's bright but rainy and cold but cosy. I love it. It's like the Earth showers before sleeping still in Winter.
I’m from the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. so we get plenty of rain and I absolutely love the rain, it’s very soothing and keeps things green.
Your taste in weather/climate and mine are exactly the same...I love the coziness and (ironically) the warmth of winter
I love how you always say how grateful you are for your life 🌈❤
There was an ad/public announcement that said that shortening your shower by 1 minute saves 2700 litres of water a year. You’re doing your part for the planet👏👏👏👍🇨🇦
We're in a "heat dome" of unprecedented 100+ F degree days for 2 weeks in my part of the world, and you get to have a fire and snuggly time, totally jealous! 🥰
It has been so HOT here in Virginia. Truly unbearable 😫
Fantastic images and music. Thank you. I remember your early cabin days😊
Here in Quebec it's scorching, average 32 to 33 degrees all week! We even had a record heat wave of 45 degrees at the end of June. I envy the temperature of Svalbard!
Nothing better than a cozy rainy day. I remember the pre-water cabin days also.
Remember those early days Cecilia. It’s nice to see you have a few comforts now. Love Grim getting brushed. Your photography is awesome. Thank you so much😊
Yes, I remember you going to shower in the gym and I remember how strange it sounded to me that time…. You did beautiful renovation at your cabin and made it so much more spacious and cozy!
Rainy days are the best , aren’t they!? Love baby Grimm! Such a good boy!
Have you thought of having Grimm's fur spun into yarn? A friend did it her self with her Great Pyranees. Blended it with other fibre and crocheted some couch blankets with it. She says it is very soft.
I was definitely around when you were waterless! You were lucky to have good friends in town!
Love when you talk about books! You got me to start ACOTAR and I love it!
😍😍😍
Svalbard very much reminds me of Alaska. I lived there for many years. I love the cotton ball flowers too! Many Alaskan brides included them in their wedding bouquets. Plus the ever changing colors of the tundra. Nothing compares to its beauty in the fall. ❤ I love how much you get excited about reading. Me too. I now live in Seattle Washington and absolutely LOVE the rain. When I lived in Anchorage we were very dry there too. Our snow could be like sugar! But I have to live in the rain. It brings life to my soul just to breathe it in. I could only be a visitor to Svalbard but that would be lovely for a moment in life.
Yes, I remember you bringing your laundry over to your friend that used to live there. I'm sure having all your needs met more convienantly helps you be all the more grateful. It's such a blessing to experience those moments in life.
I'm dyslexic, so reading long books is such a quest for me. You inspire me to hang in there.
I was here before the cabin addition and the lack of running water. It is amazing how much things have changed!
Yaaay thank you for being here! 😊
Oh yes your dear mom is very talented ❤️❤️ gifted !
I'm a couple of videos behind so you may never even see this but, I feel like we are so alike, every time I see you in the morning doing chores in your pjs like I do, it makes me smile. And we even have the same ones.
I also love to read, the Covenant of Water was so good. Also love young adult fantasy or dystopian futures and I love historical fiction.
🩵🩵🩵 Yaay I’m glad to hear the book was good, I am really looking forward to reading it!
Rainy days are the best days. ❤ The cotton grass is beautiful!
Thanks for sharing 😊
Cecilia, I began watching your videos when you still had your small cabin, and it was winter time with howling winds. I continue to enjoy how your videos have exciting adventure and relaxing vibes. Thank you for what you do. Say hi to Grim for me :)
Love watching your channel! Suggestion: Get a Kindling splitter, about a 3.5 gal pail and about a 3 lbs hand maul for splitting kindling. Works great!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Philip Pullmans Book of Dust series. I've been waiting years for the 3rd book!
As beautiful as it is where you live, I don’t think I could live without the warm summer heat soaking into my bones.
Grim is such an angel 🥹
When we were kids in NW Greenland we never saw rain .. today is a whole lotta different, everything is melting and wet.
Oh I remember those days of the old cabin…..the transformation of your home is just incredible.
Yes I remember many videos where you had to head to town for shower and laundry. The first video I saw of you was a hike in the pitch dark 😝. And I’ve been watching ever since. Thanks for sharing your wonderful film making and beautiful land, cabin and family 🐶.
Tundra flowers are so beautiful!!!
Experiencing a rainy day in your cabin on Svalbard looks so cozy and peaceful! It's fascinating to see how the weather adds to the atmosphere. Thanks for sharing this serene moment.
Yep, I was around when you had the small cabin and no running water. How time flies! I love rainy days - growing up through various droughts here in Australia you learn to never complain about rainy days. They’re a blessing, and so cosy as long as you don’t have to go out to work in them. ❤️
I've commented before (and I know a few others have) that you could write a sweet children's book series of 'Grim Adventures.' Seeing that your lovely mother is an exceptional artist - she could illustrate! A great way to keep interest in the outdoors - and set it all in Svalbard to teach about the land and its conservation. Grim would be such a great ambassador. ❤ Perhaps some proceeds could help programs for children to preserve the Earth they're inheriting. Anyway, I dearly love your gorgeous videos and the way you tie everything together with your peaceful presentations of life in that part of the world. 🥰🕊✨️🐻❄️❄️ Thank you so much for sharing! 🙌
Hi Cecelia! Our cozy days lately are pretty much the opposite of yours these days. Our heat index (temperature plus humidity) has been 100-112 degrees), and it dangerously hot outside. The beaches are packed though (crazy people!) and the pool is like bath water.
We stay inside during the day as much as possible and I go out in the evening and tend to my flowers and plants/water, which they desperately need.
Grim’s hair!!! We had German Shepard’s and same! Hair galore!
Totally agree about the organization. Clutter stresses me out too
Hi from Myrtle Beach, SC
ENJOY your day and we will too
Sunday is our Chinese take out night!💕😊🥡🥢🥠
You shared brushing Grim with us! My heart is filled with warmth and happiness. Thank you!
Grim's coat of fur is amazing this season.
I'm glad you got a day off from the constant brightness of the midnight sun.
Rain is so calming,refreshing and a rain storm even a bit of an adrenaline rush! I live in the Mojave Desert of California.we just a record high of 125 (F) for July . It’s would be a relief to see a little rain! Love your videos always done so beautifully.
A nice cozy episode, I love it. I love that you like to read and I like to know what you are reading. Thank you.
I remember going to your friend with your laundry, also the showers at the gym🙃And i remember thinking how hard can be to do this every week, especially when is a snowstorm and dark for 24 hours. But seeing how cosy was in the village, was so beautiful. I guess is about what we chose to focus on. I loved to see the rain there, and the different colours of the ocean, and mostly, i love the little flowers - so tiny but so strong. I miss autumn and cosy days, so thank you for this beautiful treat. Please hug the handsome young man, Grim, more than usual. From us all. Have a wonderful week everyone!
It looks so relaxing outside with the weather. Nice to see flowers growing. Grim looked like he was enjoying every but of the brush. 😊.
Cecilia, today I recommended your channel to my brother and I think I will do so to my cousin as well. I was sitting here eating my toast and drinking my coffee thinking that I never ever would have thought I would be watching someone vacuum their cabin, and feel Zen about it. You are so chill and wonderful to watch. Who knew back in the 80's that I would have a window into your wonderful, relaxed, but exciting life here in the 20's of the new century. Thanks for being here and your amazing content. PS if I could cram more books into my summer, I would pick that last series and maybe that first one you picked. But I have about 11 books I have to get through before September, and I am also learning contemplative life. I love your channel. Thanks for keeping us cozy and chill, and caffeinated. 🙂
Yes, I remember when you would go into town to do the laundry and shower.
We take so much for granted. I think that is one reason why I love watching your channel. Seems like such an idyllic simple life
It's nice to have some down time days at home after running around and lots of sunshine. Love to see Grimm getting some grooming and Christopher helping. Can't wait to see your sweater you will make with Grimm's fur. Love your coffee mug too.
Cozy cabin days are some of my favorite videos. Currently in the middle of a heat wave in the northeast US.
Thanks to you I’m not thinking about how hot it is outside right now 82°F at 9am. Seeing cool rainy days is doing my brain good.
Grim is so orange this summer! Such a cutie! His little shorts shedding was hilarious. ❤
I’m with you about books. I love to keep them and admire them forever so libraries, as wonderful as they are, are not for me. 😁
Oof, yeah it's recently beenb~110°F outside here in Northern California. Hot mornings are the WORST.
Grim is so cute! He loves his people.❤ he’s enjoying all the attention you guys are giving him.
My favorite type of Cecilia video! Cozy days at home. Only one disappointment: you didn’t show us making your coffee 😊. It was already in the beautiful mug.
So peaceful and cozy.
Yes I’m still here , i started watching when it was lockdown in the UK (Covid) , i cant believe how time has passed . I love your vlog and would like to visit Svalbard , having visited Iceland, Faroese and Norway along with Northern Russia (Murmansk) However i am now older and disabled so i doubt i’l get there , your vlog keeps me “connected” and in hope . Who Knows? .
Ohhhhh, I love, love, love a rainy jammies all day snuggle on the couch in front of the fire with a good book and cup of tea day!
i love the rain and the sound of it
