Colette: Just wanted to say, please don’t worry about YT. Stay true to yourself and if you had to accept commercials/adverts then your loyal subscribers are 100% supportive! We all appreciate your calm demeanor and honesty! Thank you. 😊

​@@bealtainecottage That is how it is done Colette. Beat them at their own game and not stooping to their level!

[@annemumford9459]

It's always a special treat when you post a new video. I usually try to wait until I have a moment all to myself so that I may watch it uninterrupted. As far as people being unsubscribed, I think that happens if they aren't getting ad revenue, and the censors don't like a particular viewpoint a creator may have expressed. They have actually gone through creators videos and given strikes on videos that are years old. They're just unsettled because you know what a woman is and you weren't shy about it.

[@bealtainecottage]

Haha! My thoughts too!

[@carolinerayoflight786]

Looks so beautiful Collette.Ignore the negativity.❤ Patsy looks so well.❤

[@margerycummings8158]

Dear Colette, I have followed your wonderful channel right from the beginning and just wanted to say this video is your most glorious yet, in my opinion. Your beautiful woodland is so full of hope and absolute joy. I have watched it 3 times already. Like you I am a woman of a certain age haha with two acres to care for and you have been my inspiration for a long time now. This winter I have felt as though I didn’t want to come out of my hibernation, a combination of tiredness and a despairing feeling of the way of the world which is unusual for me as I can usually focus on the positive and all our beautiful Mother has to give. Your last couple of videos have inspired me to get my boots on and my behind off the chair and out there where I belong. I thankyou from the bottom of my heart for all you give and share with us. Blessings wonderful lady ❤

[@hugstreesnswims]

Dear Colette, your videos and blogs are so very much appreciated in these troubled times, and thank you so much for today's recording of Bealtaine's birdsong, it was heavenly. I tried to comment on your website but I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the craziness at the moment and my befuddled brain couldn't work out how to do it. KZbin is my last remaining social media and I despair at how the platform is treating you.I hate the manipulation and greed in the world today. Our freedoms are being stolen from us in so many ways and I'm deeply troubled. I know I'm not alone in how I feel. A break from the digital world is in order so for now at least, thanks again, stay strong and free. Sending blessings and much love to you and darling Patsy xx

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

Colette, I don't mind the ads after all the years and many videos You shared . It gives me a chance to read through all the lovely comments from You Wonderful Community , always learn something , it is like We are all holding hands around Her , I am sure the Energy of Love is growing . This year there seems to be even more Frogs in Your pond , so very Magical and a Blessing . You have done such a lot of cutting back , looks wonderful . It is so lovely to see how much Mother Earth flourishes and gives back 1000 fold for all the work or Active Love You give !!

If I'm feeling disillusioned with the world Colette, I always pop on one of your videos, and it grounds me. You're the voice of reason in a somewhat crazy world! Whether I'm following you around your lovely 3 acres or following you around Aldi, you always manage to remind me about what is important in life, family, love & mother Earth ❤

Collette, I was UNSUBSCRIBED AGAIN! So was my sister. I would really ask KZbin what’s going on. You should have many many more subscriber’s than you do. Your growth has not moved at all…I would say Nefarious 😢

Thanks for a good video. Missed seeing your gardens.

[@morrigans_cottage]

Your cottage on 3 acres is such a huge inspiration for my cottage on 3 acres. My land is, at the moment, just over grown grass and brush, but I’m hoping to make a wonderful garden and woodland similar to yours. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house and land with us all

[@ellie.l6585]

Good luck with your project 🦋. I would love to do something similar in possibly Scotland but not sure if 3 acres would be a bit overwhelming 🐞.

[@morrigans_cottage]

Thank you! I think now I know what 3 acres look like 1 acre would have been more than enough, but I guess it's nice to have the extra land for when ideas run away with themselves! You should definitely try to it, Scotland is stunning!@@ellie.l6585

I am still in awww at what you have accomplished in 20 years. I remember your video when you read the letter stating that Bealtaine Cottage was paid in full and is all yours! What you did to acheive your goal is something most young people will never understand. You have not only accomplished your goal but you have supercede it. Everything you have done since buying your property, e.g.; books, podcasts, tours, videos, etc...is because of your determination to make this happen.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between you two is delightful and such an expression of the love that you share. ❤ Thanks Collette for your kind and thoughtful response to life and the focus on living with love and creativity in alignment with peace and the dedication to protect and honor the environment.

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

Snow still thick on the ground here and lots more coming well through march most likely but nice to get a look at your early spring. I just love to see the frogs! We are looking to put a small pond in for wildlife and I’m looking forward to the day it becomes a successful habitat! Sorry to hear about your KZbin woes, this platform can be a fickle beast. Unfortunately they’ve strayed far from their original purpose and are terrible about actually supporting creators. Sadly they have the market cornered so there is little impetus for them to actually get involved with solving problems. The entrance looks beautiful! Bealtaine has grown so much, I’ve been here since the beginning and just love to see how it flourishes more every year! Your little Patsy is such a doll. You’ve had some lovely animal companions but I surely do miss Sammy and little Beauty

Good morning Colette- Thank you for taking us along on this lovely woodland walk. Still looking at snowy woods here in New Hampshire. It does my spirit good to see your property blooming forth. I'm starting to emerge from winter's palette and speaking of 🎨 palette, I'm getting out my pocket sketch book to capture our first signs of spring. And I can also freeze frame your walks and try a pocket sketch a bit of 🍀 Ireland. My subscription to your channel has not been disturbed.
