I think what I appreciate most about Martijns visual journals, is that it tells a universal human story that relates to all of us. We arrive in the world with a deep desire to find a place we can call our home. A place that like the oceans forms the rocks and beaches on its shore, can mould and shape us as people. We long to find who we are in the big scheme of the natural world and with what can we contribute. Will we find a place to spend our life which in a sense is larger than ourselves, and where our legacy and memory somehow can live on, even after the days when we are the ones who lived long ago. Fame and fortune dissolve into meaninglessness when we’ve found our sense of coming home. Many might leave the world having these questions unanswered, but too see someone who takes the time and makes the effort and sacrifices in order to make for themselves a true home, is probably what’s most inspiring.

I’ve long equated your work to performance art. You create wonderfully curated content that is aesthetically gorgeous and acoustically soothing. You show a way of life that is the envy of so many who seek something authentic and is in touch with nature…the antithesis of our modern life. It’s narrative art, much like a great novel. Except it unfolds in real time week by week. I’m drawn as much to the technique of your filmmaking as to the craftsmanship of your work. Few in the KZbin space go to the trouble of color-grading as you do on a weekly basis. And, the sound quality of your films is probably the thing that grabs most viewers without them even knowing. I don’t know how you do it…can’t spot any mics on you and yet we hear everything. You’re living a mini-series :) You’re the star with a supporting cast of a hermit priest, chickens, your family, your car, and a host of other characters. Lastly, you do your monologues in a way that’s like talking to a good friend. It’s intimate and ernest. We certainly appreciate your work. It’s a source of enjoyment and inspiration to us for a couple of years now and indirectly contributed to us owning a slice of the Cottian Alps. Much appreciated!

Maybe he shouldn't be allowed to drive his new Mitsubishi Pajero down the mountain roads as hapless salamanders, newts, snails and Piedmont worms might get crushed under the cruel wheels. "Forest habitat" eh? LOOK! There's Bambi!! But seriously... If you've watched every episode, you know that the "forest habitat" Martijn cleared a path through to the old beech tree, was meadow when he bought it. The birch and other trees grow incredibly fast, and Martijn's 6 acres would be entirely forested in a couple years if he didn't clear the trees back. He's not clearing historic old-growth forests, it's more akin to clearing weeds from a suburban lawn.

I manage a wild bird rescue, research and sanctuary in Angrogna, Val Pellice. I am sure that if you are such a devoted fan(arse kisser) and, having watched every episode from your armchair, you'll know where Angrogna is and how very important it is to help this forested corridor under pressure from an overpopulated France, Germany and Italy. Throwing around terms like "historic old growth forests" in relationship to the Alps geology, Piemontese history and the European migratory birds in this area makes you look stupid. Most old trees here are about 60-100 years - overgrown grazing land. Barfe has an altitude of 1000+ metres where trees grow slowly, So the term "historic old growth forest" has no significance in relation to my concern/comment about cutting trees down in spring and summer in Angrogna where there is a legal ban on cutting down trees in the spring and summer (trees are in leaf and birds seek a safe nesting location). I suggest you get offline and get outdoors to smell the roses before making such criticisms based on your ill informed, KZbin fantasy world concepts.

basil, yes. leaf lettuce, yes. First shot of the chickens in the greenhouse I thought to myself, 'uh oh! They think it's their new home.' Second shot and I was sure the girls were measuring for new curtains! Loved all the music in this week's show.

Get a grip on reality They are chickens held semi-captive for egg production and warm and fuzzy KZbin effect, not girls.

A greenhouse in a perfect place for homestead animals like cats or chickens in the deep of winter. Dry, warmer and out of the wind.

Because Martijn is also a very talented videographer, in addition to a cook, a carpenter, an artist, a stone mason, and dozens of other things, I find myself googling after his videos to learn more, including his movie watching choices. "Malkovitch desert movie" got me to "Sheltering Sky" which I'd heard of, but is now on my "to watch" list. Thanks for showing me so many new and wonderful things Martijn - starting from your bike rides years ago, and continuing every Sunday morning :)

Hi from Maggiore Martin a suggestion for the greenhouse that you make a fitted ascending shelf on the back wall of the greenhouse. That way you'll have a built in potting table surface which you'll need and can then grow lots of things vertically in pots strawberries cherry tomatoes they will cascade down maximising the space

I always love to see the mountains, but HELLO.... WHAT A SCENERY ON THAT WALK! 🤯 So pretty! And the bells of the cows, can't wait until we hear them in your area in the background. I've missed them.

I enjoyed a book by Michael Pollan, A PLACE OF MY OWN. In a print version, it tells essentially a story similar to Martijn's....only it is a writer's studio on a New England farm, Pollan's story of designing, constructing painstakingly, and using it. Highly recommend it for those who are enjoying our journey with Martijn.
