One year living in our woodland cottage | 5 things we've learnt

[@_hannasdiary]

Never fails to impress me how KZbin hides away channels like these. You're easily my favourite find for a long while :)

[@blurryinterests]

I think KZbin is pushing them now! I saw this video suggested quite a few times, I’m glad I finally checked them out!

[@litame3814]

Omg Yes !!!! I am here at coffee shop and KZbin brought up this channel… I’m like how am I just seeing this now? I only observe Mindfulness, Nature driven content 🌱 Love y’all’s channel, videos and transparency….. do you have an website where you sell your creations?

[@litame3814]

Oh I found the website! Way to go for you guys mugs all say “Sold Out” … but sad for us 😢

[@Notesha]

Say that again, just stumbled upon their chanel right now, they instantly became my favorite channel ❤❤

[@BeautyQueen-6]

So happy i came across them. They’ve been starting to send across more small yet BEAUTIFUL channels

[@JessAwesome]

I love seeing happy black women living a life of exploration and adventure. Stay blessed

[@pinky-ud1rt]

Amen hun

[@millsykooksy4863]

me too

[@keepingit100-ss3hx]

Me too!! I love seeing black women happy and RELAXED!!! We deserve it ❤❤❤

[@wuncieadams1352]

Me too cause I am a Black woman. God bless the both of you, I pray.

[@valencia4834]

Amen ❤

[@crystaltharrell]

Two creative introverts living in harmony and at peace with their lovely little world ❤ It can be done

[@bm5_5_5]

My idea of heaven ❤

[@carolferguson8491]

You said that! I'm an introvert and it has to be bliss to find a kindred spirit ❤

[@4ctina246]

Living my dream🥰

[@veronicahoward4869]

Amen.. as humans we complicate life.. Jehovah has given us all we need.. Let’s explore that and get back to his laws…❤️

[@Theamateurecologist]

This channel is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Love seeing a girly who looks like me living her best life and thriving in the freedom she deserves ❤

[@DMshell17]

Yes! 👏🏾

[@pinky-ud1rt]

[@liberatedlioness6478]

Don't overlook the small victories. A few potatoes is definitely a win. Congratulations

[@deekay10]

The editing, cinematography, aesthetic, art, music, this is a masterpiece ❤.

[@faithBlondon]

Am I the only one who finds these videos very relaxing to watch? The music is also soo nice

[@williamclark1244]

I agree. I love atmospheric and New Age music. I listen to it a lot.

[@jamesoakley3952]

This was cool to see. People living closer to nature without going full "off grid" crazy. It's so often I watch stuff like this as an escape then pull back because I feel people take it too far. It seems like you have a nice balance. Hope you both have a great 2024.

[@tanja666]

Alot of the 'off grid" crazy is out of financial necessity. Living in a rural area means it is more difficult to earn a living in monetary terms. Growing food, being responsible for your own water and sewerage and having alternative power sources, such as solar, woodstoves, etc....means huge savings. I would not be living the life I love if I didn't live fully off grid.

[@stitchychris6065]

Like other commenters, this is a new channel to me. Everything about it is lovely: your home, your photography and video, your pottery, your music, and your accents. Keep working on your garden, a good gardener fails but keeps trying. Growing your own food is worth it! Good luck!

[@fdm2155]

KZbin algorithm served your channel up and WOW! What a beautiful video. You two are definitely living your best life and it shows. Cheers from across the pond. 😊

[@veronicahoward4869]

I said the same thing… New subscriber…❤️

[@Solo50plus]

The pottery 🥰 And from foraged clay I never even new that was possible! Love it! The nature is nutrients for the soul!

[@tracys169]

This channel is such a gem. I love the quiet-gentle-soothing quality it presents. Thank you and Happy New Year.

[@BL3SSed-Bliss]

The _hugge, if you will._ 😉

[@shaybarcellyia6830]

This channel is such a Breath of fresh air. The views of you picking flowers/the cottage life is breathtaking.

[@margauxbride1908]

Omg as a UK based ceramics, making and nature loving person this channel is a dream! Such beautiful shots and your storytelling is lovely. 💐

[@imandancy332]

What a wonderful hidden gem of a channel this is! A great glimpse into an alternative lifestyle, as well as a good source of creative inspiration.

[@dreamchaser5758]

Every now and again the You Tube algorithm gives me a treat. New subbie here. Cheers 🥂 to a splendid 2024

[@mastermindGarage]

KZbin ain't doing you justice 😢, this channel should be at 1 million subscribers 😊. I discovered it yesterday and I found myself watching almost all videos

[@everythingkindred]

This is such a kind comment, thank you!! 💛

[@ReubenClarke]

This is the first video of yours I've seen and, man, you guys are awesome. You're exactly the kind of people I love hanging out with so it's nice to feel like I'm sharing a cup of tea with you. Congratulations on your life in nature.

[@crisssXcross]

I’ve followed you on TikTok for a while now and didn’t realise you had a KZbin 😭 I’m so happy I’ve found you and I’m so pleased to find fellow black and brown people living this life and making this content. I appreciate you and looking forward to watching your videos ❤ love xxx

[@everythingkindred]

Thank you so much!!

[@jamandteablog]

Exactly why I'm here too!!

[@jacquelinejackson4500]

May Jesus continue to bless you all in this peaceful and happy life in nature. I'm glad that you're happy!!

[@teresasteyn9581]

Really loved this! You both have such a genuine, easy-going, authenticity about you. And this video really captures the joy and growth that can be found living in the countryside. Happy New Years from Johannesburg, South Africa!

[@eveneeee]

The cinematography together with the music make it very pleasent to watch (atmospheric music ✨👌) We have very similar interests and views, so now I am feeling less alone, haha! I like how you guys have reflected on the changing of season and how they effect you. Where I live, in Norway, the seasons definitly effect you (the effect deppends on where you live in the country and if you stay the whole year). For me, spring and summer are lighter seasons with more activities. In winter I turn more inwards, reflecting more, both alone and with the people close to me. Trying to not give energy to unimportant happenings and re-aligning my focus on what I think is important. Also just relaxing with the people close to you, over time, makes it easier and more natural to talk about everything. You are not in a rush.

[@everythingkindred]

Thank you so much! We appreciate you sharing your experience too, would love visit Norway one day!

[@BayouBarbie504]

I'm putting out in the universe I want to live like this. I live in an urban setting that's super scenic. I love being outside. My yard has several trees. I'm trying to grow food now. I want to live like this. My soul really craves it. I'm glad my algorithm showed me you guys.

[@deewils381]

I am in Agreement with you. May you live like this peaceful and Blessed. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💝

[@SophiasOasis]

Living in a small Swiss village, I enjoy making elderflower jams & syrup. Blackberry vinegar and so on. All grown wildly. As a Jamaican in Switzerland this is like being back home. I’m glad I found your channel and will be subscribing. Happy New Year to you and the chat 🎉

[@Music01Fan]

I’m in awe. I’m so glad I found this channel! It’s not a lifestyle choice I would like to make, but I appreciate the courage and authenticity to make such a move and be so connected to nature. I’m really inspired ❤

[@vasilii3750]

I mean... that s literally my dream to live in the woods. My partner and I are really in the rough (? idk what else to call it) place, we do not know what to do in future, have limited resources.. etc etc. And ur lifestyle just seems the way I would reallllyyyy wanna do in future!! goals. Btw colors are so amazing! Can u share what is the camera? also the blog feels warm and bright, GL w all ur beginnings!!

[@everythingkindred]

Thank you, that's super kind! Hoping things get better for you both. The Camera is a Canon 6D

[@NeaRunsUltras]

I am so grateful to KZbin for recommending your channel! Queue an Everything Kindred watching spree 😅 love your aesthetic, the music and your vibe ❤

[@everausten]

This is the first video of yours that has come across my dash - instant subscribe. The cinematography, photography, editing, subject matter and philosophy are charming ✨

[@sunpi]

IM moving out of my cottage to a little bungaloww lot of woods near but i want to be IN the woods! your life is perfect!

[@TheCarlaProject]

i cant wait to buy some of your pottery!!! currently all sold out but i got on the list...so glad this vid was recommended randomly!!

[@essieaku3563]

Cute couple and peaceful vibes. Thanks for sharing the experienceof living in nature like this⚘🌳🌿💕🕊

[@moony-_-.]

are you planning on restocking your sold-out pottery? the designs look amazing 😭

[@bethrowe5215]

Oh my gosh! So happy I've found this KZbin channel! Can't wait to see more videos like these over the next year! 🌿🌼🍁

[@beingadhiambo]

Found this channel today and I feel like my search on KZbin is finally fulfilling ❤

[@Chloeeezyyy]

Like watching a documentary film. Nice work, composition and colors. Audio is consistent with no peaking. Nice job.

[@noitulove2213]

Beautiful! Thank you from USA. A true contribution... to all.

[@LolaMarigold]

I have a raised bed in our community garden where I have grown potatoes for the last four years. I only get maybe 20 lbs but it requires so little work aside from the planting and harvesting. I have been adding seaweed, compost and manure each Fall and working into the earth. It seems to help. :) Good luck this year. Oh and make sure your potatoe seeds are nicely cured before planting. Your ceramics are beautiful and I also love the wooden spoons.

[@stellawaillu843]

I love nature,the countryside ❤

[@coumbandiii]

It's very interesting seeing a lifestyle so vastly different from my city life. I love the scenery and how peaceful the environment is. I hope to some day also move. Thanks for the video 💗

[@ninawestlake14]

Right? Hopefully there aren't a lot of folks with this same mindset. Otherwise living away from the city becomes just as tiring and we're back to square one. 😂.

[@wherethequietbeingsgo]

@@ninawestlake14Right.

[@coumbandiii]

@@ninawestlake14lmao for real!!We dont want them to bring their shenanigans and disrupt our peace 😂

[@vestatanyanyiwa6785]

Nature is the most beautiful thing in all creation we are forever grateful love it enjoy beloved

[@everythingkindred]

We agree! Thank you so much

[@bruce-le-smith]

congrats on escaping the city and getting used to country life. very soothing video, thank you. gardening is actually hard, but keep at it, you do get better with lots of mistakes. we're about 5 years into our gardening journey and are killing fewer plants than we used to. i think learning to fertilize and adjust the soil structure are the real secrets. really great videography too, subscribed!

[@todrapayne]

I LOVE this video. I subscribed right away. My husband and I are nomadic and have been for 5 years traveling through Europe, the US and Canada. But we're ready to settle down someplace in nature. This video is inspiring. Love your pottery and the wooden spoons.

[@HeyDeZamsZungu8946]

Oh man, this is so amazingly awesome. Lord knows I dread staying in a clustered environment; I can't think, my energy is always low and the constant bickering of neighbors and kids playing, is too much for my well being. I like people but, I have boundaries and as an introvert, my space & peace is always disturbed😢 I so want to be free, praise/worship🙌🏽 Jesus while surrounded by nature, learn new natural things and just enjoy life without being busy as life demands it. I believe my creativity will be on another level if I could live in a place like this🙏🏽, money is a problem for my current situation but I will work hard at least get my own place.

[@healwithmare]

I absolutely love this channel. This has really encouraged me to change some things in my lifestyle 💗. It’s beautiful how aligned you both are with one another. Keep up the great content!

[@chabridgettumusiime8994]

KZbin where were you hiding these people..I love 💕 nature and creativity, art ..just found this today January 9th 2024 ❤ teach me how you make clay stuff , how you curve out those wooden spoons

[@SuperSpace2009]

This was a nice channel. The views was beautiful.The nature, I live in the city in New Orleans. And it is very scary with all the violence and trouble you and trouble you hear. It was just so calming to see the views. You guys make me want to move where you guys are I like your channel and want to see more. Bless you guys as a couple.

[@BayouBarbie504]

I live in New Orleans! I live kind of in a bubble neighborhood near City Park. It's really inspired me to want to live more like this in a country setting. I hate getting in my car though. As long as I can walk around here, I'm in heaven!

[@mouse1781]

YT put your video on my 'recommendation' list and that was such a great move on its part, I absolutely loved it! The editing and storytelling are on point, but more than that I enjoyed the *feel* of it so much; it was a very cozy and mellow video, very wholesome. Thank you both for sharing. And Happy New Year to you too!

[@JC_inTX]

The two of you are lovely! We just discovered your channel and looking forward to seeing more videos. We also love your mugs! Hopefully you ship products to the US. We plan

[@mzfitmama2361]

Just stumbled on your channel how beautiful it is and how sweet and creative you both are as a unit. I loved it all. We live in a home with land and literally near no one up in northern Arizona in the states. How does your country and area you live in give you the internet? It’s really hard to get internet where we are. Your cottage is so lovely on all its trinkets decor and coziness

[@taliimusic]

I just found your channel and I’m so happy 😍 it’s a dream of mine to live in a beautiful cottage surrounded by nature one day. Loved this video!!!

[@sharmawade5498]

First time to your channel, and I knew immediately that I wanted to become a subscriber. Such beautiful woodwork, and pottery. I would truly purchase every piece 🥰 Thanks for sharing

[@AwakenedSon]

Thanks guys. I enjoyed your video. Dan, great music and you're a blessed man. I didn't catch your name Mrs but the shot of you with wildflowers in your hair is beautiful. Your pottery and lifestyle is great. I liked that you walked to the shops in the snow...maybe bad planning, but it still lead to an adventure. Thanks for the message of "get out and walk". I walk as part of my commute but I also love walking with my wife along the estuary near us.

[@DoeRaeMe]

I’m about to move to the woods of Maine with my family in the spring! I was already looking forward to it but this made me even more EXCITED! So thank for sharing a little bit of magic 🌟

[@Joanna-gg4qx]

Beautiful! I’m so glad I found your guys channel! I also moved off grid almost a year ago now. My cat unfortunately passed away this December and I chose a special burial place for her in the woods. There was lots of clay in the space we dug for her, so I thought I’d make some ceramics out of it as a memento to her. As a creative though it definitely touches on something special being in our natural environment, so many resources to add mindfulness and tactile creativity into the days. Something I just couldn’t find in the city too 🌱

[@valencia4834]

First timer and im in love with the visual art (video). Along with this couple. The ancestors my sista are smiling. How you worked with what nature has to offer. I am in awe 💗. You two are truly blessed and beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@francinepowell527]

Hi guys, my first time here love your videos ❤️👋🏾am a Jamaican living in America be safe God Bless🙏🏾

[@booksandbrambles]

Your cottage sounds wonderful! Those snow scenes are making me crave a good snow day, but it mostly just rains where I live right now.

[@snowymountainmama]

This was beautiful! Never have I been more thrilled with a KZbin suggested video! The aesthetics, your talents, where you live, your kind souls, it’s all just so lovely and soothing and wonderful!

[@pinky-ud1rt]

Omg guys love the way you live.just no stress and your free of the hustle and bussell of the town cities. Good luck for the future ❤❤

[@melissah170]

So glad I found this channel today. Lovely ceramics, lovely photography, and lovely people. 😍

I have to agree with you about walking in the woods. My grandmother got me hooked on that activity. She told me you can solve a lot of problems when walking in the woods

[@diaradachowsky1888]

Fell in love with this channel at once. Only just watched the introduction and it feels like a fairy tale. ❤

[@Rp-wt7uz]

What a lovely video. Thank you guys for sharing, it was cool to hear about your experience and learnings. I'm a black british woman too and have always loved the countryside. To see you both living creatively and authentically for yourselves is incredibly inspiring 🥰 I would love to see a video about how to get into foraging!

[@wildmagicfarms]

This video is well filmed and edited. It is interesting that the channel has not got more exposure. Also, I love the pottery and would love to start doing it myself.

[@kylastearns]

So happy I found your channel 💕 For the veggie garden, the easiest things Ive grown have been zucchini and roma tomatoes. Herbs can be pretty easy and rewarding as well as you can dry everything you dont use and save it to use over winter and spring

[@BrixtonBeat]

It’s always interesting when KZbin suggests a video from a new to Me creator, this was lovely

[@carolynwilliam4194]

You guys are amazing its so heartwarming to see your idyllic healing choices for YOU. Side note I would do the same but in a hot climate thats my focus at the moment. Lots of love blessings sending your way in the new year.

[@linda_smilesrfree2744]

Firstly, I love how you both convey the simplicity, in which you embrace all aspects of your life. Secondly, clearly you enjoy the natural habitat surrounding your home; it is awe-inspiring with a quiet serenity. Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not mention the warmth and stunning display of the interior of your home, and the creativity you both possess. Thank you kindly for sharing glimpses of your beautiful life. 🥔🪵🪓🎼🎶🥧❤👍🏽

[@emelyandtheuke]

I could cry with how beautiful this experience must have been for you, and I can only hope to achieve this level of serenity in my near future. Are there any lessons learned or “bad” sides of things to balance out or is it truly just a great life living out in the country side?

[@carolyneasley8980]

I stumbled upon this channel here in Missouri and I absolutely loooove you guys! I'm hooked on your mellow, loving coupledom. The beautiful creativity, earth and music between "She and He" magical and inspiring ❤❤❤❤❤ 🌺 🌎 🌴 🍯

[@robbiep.5497]

I'm so glad I found this channel. This is essentially my dream--my longterm goal. As a long time city girl (I was born and raised in NYC), my dream is to move into a cute little woodland cottage and live slow an intentional, doing the things that make me happy. Given everything that's been going on with me personally and socio-economically with everyone in the last few years had begun making me think that this is impossible. But your channel has made me hopeful again!

[@joshcutting5894]

This is so great guys. Conversations, music, visuals, editing, story 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@yumyummmmmmmmmmm]

So wonderful. God bless u guys❤️🙌🏾

[@margothrapper3177]

I’m absolutely loving this. Where has this channel been when I needed something like it all along? Lol.

Beautiful landscape; and New beginnings occur in Spring never in winter!!! Dec. is month 10!

[@faith6575]

Why on earth am I JUST discovering this lovely channel. It is right up my algorithm. What’s the matter with KZbin? It’s an ungodly hour and I was about to take my tablet off the charge and I see this this loveliness. I will be binge watching to catch up, and I will subscribe. ❤

[@everythingkindred]

This is so kind, thank you!

[@kaitlinohl4141]

This was so great! Would you be willing to do a cabin tour video? It looks so cute ❤

[@MsTemptation]

Glad that I just found you guys. Everything about you two is just so peaceful and serene. Plus both of you have amazing hobbies. You two are living in paradise or my interpretation of it. I had to subscribe because I definitely want to see the world through your eyes instead of just my own.

[@noralutonadio]

This is my first time here but it's a good find! I mean you guys are exactly living the way we should normally live and eat to remain healthy (healthier) but some of us don't even know it yet. It's so therapeutic your current lifestyle and everything about this video is calming somehow.

[@user-kev-k5v]

It’s very beautiful where you have both moved to, I love the autumn leaves their rich colours gorgeous 🍁
