Bealtaine Cottage ~ Day in My Life

[@4sstg]

Feeling so poorly and very sad for the loses in my life, family who have passed, those who are suffering. Your videos give a lift. I wish I had a friend like you nearby to have a cuppa with once in a while. Too much weeping here. It’s still bitter cold where I am, so hard to get out. Waiting for spring . Bless you dear lady.

[@denisegariepy1176]

Sorry for your losses… I pray 🙏 blessings in you life and peace.

[@tinaweeks438]

Sending love and strength and many blessings 🙏

[@lm9753]

You just got to get through it. Doesn't have to be pretty. Just breathe. It will be okay; just not today. xxoo

[@parry3231]

When I get nostalgic and sad about the issues that come up with the energies of loss,helplessness and other types of distractions. I calmly count the many different blessings that exist now as I am now. A heart beat, my breath, a fresh clean glass of water to drink and to bless with my love and prayers for peace and joy in the world. I find the joy of living and the clarity of the gifts that are still present and untouched by the circumstances that could cause me to be sad and very off kilter. We all have many different types of blessings. Even in our worst days. Please let the light shine on you and find the joy of living with enthusiasm and learning to be present with creativity and love 😍 ❤🎉

[@vaijayanti_prememalcolm8160]

I remember probably 15 years ago before I was on Facebook seeing your gravel container garden and hearing about Bealtane cottage, I was so inspired by you then, as I still am, and im doing something similar here in my new home in Cornwall. Thank you for your inspiration on my life xxx

[@gobnaitaine5103]

Happy Mother's Day Collette 💐 And to all the Mothers in Ireland ❤

[@connydm729]

Yes, we called it body warmers 😅... Hi Colette, it´s very cold here in Belgium, i feel poorly today, yesterday i was cleaning the windows outside and was not dressed warm enough i think... My cat loves to sleep with.me on the bed too, but doesn´t like lavender oils...so i had to stop using it, as hé runs out of the bedroom when i do... Thank you for posting, it was very relaxing to me, liked the funny parts of it 😅.... Love and blessings, Conny 💞 💚 🐕 🦋 🐈‍⬛

[@jackiechapman3183]

What a peaceful beautiful oasis you have created for yourself.

[@JR-kz2xn]

Good morning from my little corner of the world Colette. Thank you for sharing your peaceful home and surroundings with us today and I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day. Seize the day!!

[@fionalewis5051]

Can't tell you how much your wee video has cheered me today Collette. This is such a lovely channel and a really peaceful but powerful corner of the internet! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you. X

[@oilpntr]

BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOU BEAUTIFY! Always puts a smile on my face and heart to see you landscaping

[@suginami123]

I loved the chat abour chests and boxes. They tidy things up and then reveal forgotten treasures. My Irish mother when she would be fed up with us three boys bickering would send us upstairs to sort out the chest. 2 small ones for me the youngest and 2 big drawers for the bigger two. We would play for hours with all the lost toys and books. Happy spring

[@elainerichards6406]

Happy Mothers Day, Colette! Blessings to you and little Patsy! ❤

[@gregorymcd944]

Collette your courtyard garden is looking wonderful! Very inspiring! Thanks for another great video!

[@levinawalsh2015]

Bodywarmer most people would call it. Gilet is French for waistcoat or vest, so that's where it's come from😊.

[@deewise552]

Spring is just beginning to show itself here in Tidewater Virginia. It’s the first day of our Daylight Savings Time and it’s 49F. The daffodils are up but most of the trees are still bare. Enjoy your early spring, Collette. Your garden looks beautiful!

[@ChestineBentley-hd6qn]

[@mollys1584]

Beautiful Collette! Very warm and inviting...and peaceful.

[@VannaWhiteboard]

Friends had a chest their mum kept filled with old garments, fabrics, hats, accessories, and 'props; when I was very young. We played all sorts of games for hours, days, weeks-on-end. A miraculous form of storage.

[@TheSaba2115]

I LIKE ALL YOUR VIDEOS. So soothing. A reprieve from the pain of reality.

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

I love the shade of blue of your cottage. Your videos inspire me to get up and get moving. Thanks.

[@maxinedefty9462]

Thank you Colette for sharing. X

[@lm9753]

Sorry to post twice. Maybe tell the newbees about the floor. How you installed that amazing floor. Can't get enough. Would love to see the parts covered by furniture. IDK. Thank you!

[@lindagreenacre630]

Weve just planted 3 more silver birch and an apple tree. Happy mothers day. I l9ved the story of the children and the chest. Xxx

[@9FatraBbits]

Happy Mothers Day. Your courtyard and container garden is so lovely. Every time I see your magnolia I think of getting my own magnolia stellata. Enjoy the rest of your day🐇🩷🧡

[@Kate42]

Your yard is just wonderfully charming. I love it all!

[@KarenRyan-bq7dt]

Hello there Colette! You look marvelous!! Refreshing to walk about the lush plant friends with you!!! 🌿 Your bedroom looks peaceful and cozy ~ the colors are so serene and welcoming!!! Good to hear your laugh today as always. Thanks for the delightful update!

[@margarethughes3763]

The garden looks really good. Colette. I love your cottage. Does Patsy play with the wood for the stove. BB ..😊❤

[@Good-DaySunshine]

So beautiful! You really know how to beautify in house and nature!

[@bombshell.13]

I've always loved your little piece of solace. It's so beautiful and natural, which makes it even more beautiful. I've never really thought about having containers in the garden, but this year I'm doing containers in my veggie garden because I haven't been out there in two years due to health issues, then the mental ones that followed. That ugly C word took over my mind more than my body for now and I'm done with it controlling me. I'm taking my life back and my backyard is my solace. Where's Patsy? Does she not like the chilly weather ? I was hoping to see her outside with you. I miss Jack, I loved how he accompanied you. I lost my, Dean a few months after my cancer surgery. I loved him so, he was always by my side. He waited for me to be able to bury him and it was a sudden loss, one not expected. Thank you for allowing us to walk with you in your garden. It really gives me peace and ambition to get outside and enjoy mine once again. it's been two years and I have a lot of work to do.

[@-conormahon5634]

"What I enjoy; being outside I'm the garden "..... snap!

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

Your Potted plants look so lovely especially put about in little "Rooms" and I adore that Wooden Treasure Trunk !! Love to You and Wee Miss Patsy!

[@lindawitherspoon446]

The garden looks beautiful.

[@suzannenast4368]

You have been busy. Your garden looks wonderful. I can't wait to start my pots, but too cold in PA, USA. Be well Suzanne

Thank you so much!! Colette!! Beautiful!! Happy Mother's Day to you Colette; and to all Mother's!! Your closing with your Peppermint Tea and Lavendar spray was very nice...but PATSY!! LOL was delightful!! She was "smiling" as my Mother used to say...and then the little leap up for a quick kiss! Priceless! Blessings!! 🥰💞💞

[@karenferrel8308]

I came across your videos and they take me to your happy place. Much needed. Thank you so much for sharing. I did order a book. Can't wait to get it.

[@allsorts4041]

You are an inspiration Colette.

[@wendycarter5973]

Oh I just love your cute little window boxes I’m jealous because our sills slope downwards on our prefab house and we wouldn’t be able to open the windows your garden also looks great xxxxx

[@Fuzzison16]

That clothing item is called a vest here in the northeastern US!

[@catherinerhyno9581]

So lovely to see springtime there...still a month or so away here in New Brunswick, Canada!

[@KarenRyan-bq7dt]

My goodness that’s hilarious how Patsy hogs the bed!!!!🤣My two pups do the same to me! First I have to beg my pups to let me in “their” bed and eventually I am in a very tiny spot on the edge of my bed curled up in a ball as well!!!! 😂My pups know I’m a softy!!

[@helendeacon7637]

What a treat of a video ! Thank you Collette and happy Mother's Day to you. Here in Australia we mums have our day in May but I have always warmed to the tradition of Mothering Sunday. Coming up to St Patrick's soon, and my husband's birthday which he reckons is much celebrated😘 ☘ Your garden is looking lovely, the window boxes are beautiful. I noticed how your windows reflect the light and the mountains in the distance. Dear little Patsy waiting for the kindling to go in your stove. I remember body warmers too. Cheers! Enjoy your refreshing mint and lime 💌🍀 😉💐

[@diannerobb8376]

Thank you for turning us into PD James! I am so enjoying the radio shows that I can listen to while I cook and work around the house! Not tied to any device with my headphones on! Blessings!

[@openmindedopenheartedpurpl3568]

[@katherineb6102]

Another lovely video. Thank you. It feels much needed ❤

[@lm9753]

You always have such great ideas! And, I've always enjoyed your decorative style. Very unique and true to you. Thank you. We all love you so much!

[@mysticmimi3924]

I’m so glad Patsy brings you such joy l❤

[@summerrain7466]

"It's in the chest". I love that! I wish I would have thought of that idea when my children were little. I would just throw everything in their room and shut the door, which put it out of sight, but it didn't help teach them anything, did it? You're so clever, Colette! And a born teacher!

[@lizdaugherty5607]

Hi Collette! Loved the video. So good to hear from you. By the way, I finished your latest book and I so enjoyed it! Another home run . Most enjoyable❤

[@TheEGA4421]

Patsy to the rescue! Wonderful yard. Even the container garden looks wonderful!

[@robinjennette7750]

Love your cottage…love your videos❣️Thank you🌷🌷

[@margaretstanton7567]

Happy Mother's Day!!

[@victoriawitte7672]

Can you leave all those pots out over the winter there? Here (southern Indiana) the ones that are ceramic or terra cotta would crack from the freezing and thawing and the plant's roots would freeze solid even if the pot survived. I bring my big pots with plants into the garage and they do fine. It's really a job to bring them in, position them in a protected corner and wrap the outside of the pots with blanket and rugs to give them bit of shelter from the cold. And it's always a relief to have them outside again and the space they have been occupying empty for other garden things and just space to move around in. It will probably be another 6 weeks before it will be warm enough to get to that. But spring is in the air and things are coming up and shrubs leaving out and putting out flowerbuds.

[@Laura-rx9mp]

thank you Colette. It is very windy here in my part of Maryland. listening to the gum balls hitting the roof while I look at your video. Cheers

[@susanthomas5464]

Beautiful .Happy Mothers Day and Blessings to you and Miss Patsy 💚💚

[@juliechambers9424]

Love your videos Colette. They relax me more than you will ever know ❤

[@charmich3627]

Love the climate you have for your garden's --they look so beautiful. We just had rain yesterday and this morning it's now snowing lol🙃 Soo can't wait till the end of April begining of May to start up the garden's again (waiting for all the bees, toads, butterflies/moths, and ladybugs to move out) then it's a weekend frenzy to clean out the leaves😁thank you for sharing and Happy Mother's day

[@Tmp130]

My dad made toy boxes for my girls. Wonderful things for hiding a mess!

[@lulucly]

Enjoyed A Day in the Life!

[@windingroad9678]

Always very calming to watch your video's. I think the property looks perfect. Maybe a nice swing somewhere in the garden..Blessings.

[@sunygirl]

I've loved your channel for so many years. Your dedication to the miraculous change in the land is incredible. Watching your daily experiences, joys , occasional tribulations and your simplistic return to the earth approach is not only inspiring but comforting in our turbulent world today. So now having said that..on to my response to your "Any ideas?" in this video.Have you considered painting the cement walkway out back a bright color? Would really add a POP to the area when the winter season is abound and the bloom and foliage is asleep! Back in my 20's when my children were small(over 60 yrs ago lol) the house they were raised in had wooden floors and I painted them every few years! Continue to inspire and encourage and enchant us all with your daily life experiences in the delightful.. Bealtaine Cottage! Kind Regards SUNY MILLS (Pronounced SUNNY)☀️

[@CT-uv8os]

Happy Mothers day to you and Blessings! Pats is just too cute and everything is gorgeous! I love seeing your videos. Such beautiful energy you release with them. Thank you so muchand have a Blessed time of it. Ohna from NW Ohio USA.

[@clionamm]

I love all the potted plants you have. I have a lot of too, and trees, as a huge chunk of my garden is cement (which I'd love to kanga hammer away!) I do find I spend a lot more time in the summer watering them all. I enjoy it, you get to see/study each plant really well as you stand there watering! Love your courtyard feel. Happy Mother's day to you too 🙂
