The flowers at the end - not all of them are in my garden, but are flowering around and about the farm
The music is from Epidemic Sound and is called Quebec Mornings by View Points

Hi glad there are other South African watching this channel. Alles van die bester

[@reginakeller3038]

Oh Kate, I cried, my heart filled with love, for your loving comments on these most distressing times, here in America. Thank you so much, for your caring, for being YOU, for your sharing your precious life with me and all of us on the lgs. Yes, the plates are spinning, some falling, but the kindness and friendships we share gives us strength and hope to persevere. Hugs and smiles to you, and all who are working to keep the good works spinning. 🤗❤

[@charlotte.harrison]

Regina, I did not know how to comment as I too cried tears, but your words were just perfect. Thank you. ❤

[@feliciahazelton754]

Me too. You made me cry too. I am soooo sad for our beautiful country. This has been a very rough 4 years, with the last one being the worst. Thanks for being so supportive of your cousins across the sea.

[@carolynwatts2942]

Thank you Regina and Kate for those sentimental words to our nation of America. It is a time that is hard for all. Praying for our country and I do love you Kate and your wisdom. You inspire me to be creative and thankful. Love you all.🙏❤

[@monikawidensky8815]

What do I associate when I think of “ The last homely house”: peaceful, friendly, creative, connected to nature, crafty, many lovely smiles, humor, a very soothing voice... Kate you are a blessing for all of us. Thank you very much for being here for us all 🌺

I could not relate to Tolkien, i tried, ended up heartedly disliked in the end. BUT can totally can key in yhe quote. Perfect sence to me. Thank you , kate, i really made my day & many more.

[@carolynwatts2942]

Absolutely true. Kate is so sweet , soothing voice and a creative talent. You Kate makes me want to come and walk into your homely home and sew. Cook, garden right by your side. I am sitting here in my apartment with a fracture in my right foot since November 12 and depressed again because I can't do what I love to do for Christmas and my 4 teenage grands. Yes, the USA is in a sad shape. Who can we blame for this situation? That is what I Believe God will take care of soon. He will straighten this Counrty and his people here soon. I love my home country be it is said to say it has come disarray due to the money and power hungry people who don't care about the great USA and the people Who are poor, middle class or the seniors who worked hard for this country . Sorry for the rampage , just have to trust and believe that God will take care of the USA and the other countries who are fighting for peace in their home country. Love to you and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@avonellehamilton8500]

Thank you for sending support to the U.S. during our current trauma. Racism has hurt us all since the beginning of U.S. colonization, from Native Americans, African Americans, and each wave of immigration. Your supportive words and beautiful flower pics are balms to my soul. And I hope to many others, too. Now you be well and happy!

[@kymmstokke6021]

Homely: BRITISH (of a place or surroundings) simple but cozy and comfortable, as in one's own home. Perfect.

[@gilscot100]

Thank you for sending love over to us here in America. We need it. It is surreal that from tonight, the county I live in and the surrounding Bay Area in Northern California, which has been under shelter in place for Covid19 since March 14th, is under curfew from 8:00pm until 5:00am. And this will be for the rest of the week. I would welcome a visit to Rivendale. Although I cant go there, I can watch Kate, and Norma, and Prudence ..... and feel a calmness, albeit for a brief while. Appreciation goes to you Kate for taking time to talk to us when your life has hit a few bumps in the road. Keep those plates spinning and take care. Meanwhile my husband made some love fruit scones and I made some strawberry preserves to put on them - plenty to go around everyone on the LGS.

[@patriciabridge4312]

Thank you. We are hurting deeply over here in the United States.

[@dyanewilsonnanacupcake8504]

Thank you Kate for you heart felt words regarding what we are all experiencing here. I just returned from the hardware store and there is a protest that's going on less than a mile from my house oh, I pray that it stays calm and that nobody is hurt or property isn't damaged.

[@pzbooth1]

Homely is a lovely word in England which is comforting, reassuring and relaxing so I don’t confuse it with homey, a word I don’t ever use

[@1958pobs]

Annie Bishop absolutely! It is a compliment regarding a house

[@judithburke1539]

I'm not sure when homely changed from being warm, cozy, loving, and peaceful to plain and unattractive, I'm thinking that it's just that the meaning changed over here in America at some point and we didn't remember what homely meant to some of our ancestors. Take care as always. Blessings!

[@l.baughman1445]

💗💖💕💚💚💚 Right back at ya', Kate. Strange times indeed, and when violence temporarily hijacks the spirit of love, we are reminded that we are each of us human, important, and loved in this world. On the big LGS we will get our energy and our hearts back on track. Peace.

[@yvettemarie5236]

Thanks for the little chat today. I have a similar problem regarding the noise during the tractor pull. Our small town holds the National Tractor Pull every year. People come from all over the world to spend an extended weekend of monster tractors that compete against each other. Everyone tries to out pull the others. It’s extremely loud and most pullers and fans enjoy beer and lots of it. They race from noon to 11:00 pm. This has been happening for 54 years. I feel your pain Miss Kate and daydream believer. This happens about a mile down the same road as my home! Yikes

Thank goodness it is only once a year! 🤗

Hello Kate and all on the virtual sofa. It is a lovely day in rural Tennessee today, the weather is warm and wonderful breeze. I plan to plant flowers and clean beds that need it badly, we have had so much rain. Digging in the dirt provides a very settling effect for me!! We continue to practice safety, wearing our mask and our Church services are listened to and watched on FB Sunday mornings and on Wednesday. Loved our chat this morning and look forward to the next😘. God bless us all and let us remember to be kind🌟

Cat Frankie, who was snuggled up next to me watching you, became suddenly alert when he saw you petting Norma. He had to get up and check the back of the computer when she disappeared from the screen. Well, off to spin some plates....sending you love and appreciation from California.

Good to know about the word “homely”. It made so much sense after I googled it and read the beautiful quote in Tolkien’s book. However, it was the word that drew me to Kate’s channel which I thoroughly enjoy. I wanted to see why the lady thought her house was so ugly!

So glad to hear from you and see you again. Your home and garden and cats and hens are a calming getaway from the world, especially the lake. There is a lake close by and I get a lot of peace there but today there were a lot of people fishing and boating since most of the restrictions have been lifted here in Ohio. I just joined the mailing list. There’s a few things I’d like to order but they’re sold out. I’ll be watching for them. Thank you for the kind thoughts about what’s happening here in the states. I’m glad I’m not near any of these cities but my heart aches also for everyone involved. It hurts. Looking forward to peace once more.

Kate, I"ve been reading comments from other subscribers and they all say pretty much what I would like to say--your videos bring me such a nice warmth and comfort. My city of Madison, Wi was looted pretty badly on Saturday night and it was heartbreaking to watch. To me it feels like our society is breaking down and our government is becoming worse by the day. It brings me happiness to have my lovely KZbin friends like you, SewSweetViolet, and Gayna from Cuckoo Land. Your world seems so much more civilized than ours right now.

I’d say I’ve missed u so Kate but I’ve gone back to the beginning videos and catching up on those I’ve not seen. As for the “east” of the Sea, I can see ur reasoning but I love the “East of the Sea” appendage. It gives it a bit of an exotic, mystical appeal. I feel so at home and relaxed in ur “homely” house, the name of the channel so fits the atmosphere u conjure. When I want to relax and be calm, or a bit of a chuckle I wander to The Last Homely House East of the Sea. Thank you for welcoming me

We will come out of this stronger and demand an end to institutionalized racism. It has been a long time coming but we have been slapped in the face by the blatant murder of George Floyd and the consequent uprising. I truly believe this is a start.

Good morning to you Kate. Oh the sunshine does the soul wonders! 💛

The word Homely is one of my favourite words. To me it says comfort, warmth, clean, safe. A place I imagine we all want to be. xx

Enjoyed your video on this Sunday morning. It's good to see you back, hope your brother and dad are doing well. You are an inspiration to us all. Take care.💞💓💞

It was so nice to see you again. Hope all is well now with your Dad and brother. Living here in the cotswolds we have motorbikes sundays as well, they do a round trip and go passed our house way over the 40MPH speed limit. So I know what it's like. Take care Kate and thanks for a lovely few moments of calm listening to you. x

Thanks, Kate for your kind comments about things here in the USA. Because of the pandemic, I’m well over 2000 miles from my home in Maine and in an area more comfortable than I’m used to, so it feels good to hear your sentiments. I’m looking forward to the live stream!

Sorry, more conservative not more comfortable!
