I took my 76 year old mum on a bike ride to explore Sweden (Story 87)

[@lifelearner47]

wonderful learning all about your mum's adventures when she was young. We forget , when people get old, that they had lived interesting lives. Our society seems to have lost the culture of listening to the elders. Which is a pity, because they have so much to teach us. I've just spent a really pleasurable 20 minutes listening to you and your mum, and feel all the happier for having done that. So thank you.

[@suemcknight9051]

@lifelearner47…wonderful comment 👍💖

[@KarinElbrnd-un2dc]

❤ I totally agree

[@rosannealmgren1097]

The last photo in this video is so warm and tender when Elisabeth looks at you.

[@johnwest9577]

Great time with your mother - building memories you both will cherish.

[@bettybryson9637]

Exactly!

Dear Rosie and mum, thank you for sharing your beautiful journey.

[@apace903]

I just😊 love your Mom. You are blessed to have her. My Mom was never healthy enough to do that. ❤😊

[@TheJules1970]

You really captured your mothers spirit, it was beautiful. Thank you

[@chichikaya]

Looks like you were enjoying your time with your mom. How nice!

[@sonialegault8673]

My goodness your mom is incredible for 76-year-old to do everything that she does

[@withsuuuz]

💞 such a lovely storytelling video about two women, mother & daughter, different experiences with similar willpower & spirit💞 on a trip together to make memories

[@missebel7671]

76 years old...respect! Power girls ❤

[@yvonnebirch6026]

Hey Rosie, dat was a lot my language I heard !! I moved from Holland to California over 40 years ago. Wat leuk dat je met je moeder op pad kan en al die fietstochten samen kon doen. My Canadian husband came to pick me up from Amsterdam to LA where he lived. We retired to Monterey eventually where he passed some 20 years ago. I am 88 now and housebound. I have subscribed to your channel for years and enjoy it very much. I admire your can do attitude and your many talents. Thank you for posting ! Love from Monterey ❤❤

[@johanv4668]

ik lees nog eens goed wat u schrijft. maar dat is ook heel wat. i wish you all the best.

[@reentjekay7597]

Oh dat vond ik ook zo leuk, iemand even Hollands te horen praten. Ik woon al eeeeeeuwen in Los Angeles, ben tachtig en niet al te goed ter been. U heeft ook veel meegemaakt, en wat jammer Uw man zo vroeg verloren te hebben. Big hug!

Someday you will be so thankful that you have a video diary of memories like this with your Mum to look back on. Precious!

[@debrapage-v8w]

Thank you for sharing with us the beauty .. your words .. your dear mother. I see where your formidable nature comes from. I cried while I watched her dance. Thank you both.

[@jonap5740]

Me too, cried. I wonder what it was about that part? My mum used to dance in the living room...

[@canangucuyener7022]

I like every one of your videos. I love your authenticity. I love how real you are with your feelings with no exaggeration or modesty - enabling them to pass over you with no resistance but rather with acceptance. video editing of the outdoors is unbelievable. And I especially love this video. A dedication to a wonderful mum from the daughter for all she is- adventurous, courageous and determined- providing all the strength you need to stand strong all alone in the wilderness. Hugs and thank you.

[@pdq5465]

So beautifully put.

[@mellifera8771]

Your mum is just wonderful. And I admire her deeply. She was fortune to stay fit and healthy but also did something to get where she is today. And she raiced a wonderful woman. ❤

[@elizabethsteven9797]

You are so like your mum when she was younger. Lovely to hear and see her while having some quality time together.

[@broken-dimension-remind]

What a joy to be loved by a daughter called Rosie. May God continue to bless and keep you both.

What a joy to have such an example from loving and encouraging mother.❤

[@janebrommet7942]

Respect for your mum...lovely to make those memories❤

[@lindawynell]

I would never have guessed your Mom is 76. How wonderful that she can hike, cycle, help you build the garden. Indomitable spirit: you both have it. Sweden is beautiful. Thank you both for the effort that went into the trip & the video.

[@davidremmenga9668]

You are a very blessed woman to still have your mom with you. Take good care of each other. Thank you for sharing your adventure!

[@anneosullivan4107]

One word.... Well no three.. Beautiful, heartwarming and inspiring!! Thank you Rosie and Mum for sharing. ❤

[@ilonalehmann-bd9nn]

Das war schon beeindruckend wie du deine Mutter zu diesem Trip inspirieren konntest. Am Ende saht ihr beide glücklich und befreit aus. Danke für diese Impressionen.

[@DLRTraynorCoberly]

Cherish your mama. We don’t realize how quickly our mom’s age, how time passes by so fast. Their stories and voices gone to history, their quirks that may have annoyed us are the things we miss the most. Write down her recipes and her stories. Enjoy your mom.

[@jillloveless7145]

Rosie, thank you for sharing this remarkable story, of you and your mum sharing these tender and enriching moments together. My husband and I cherish your videos, and appreciate the time and compassion you spend editing, and sharing your stories with us. Your calming, as well as productive lifestyle is truly amazing, and we truly look forward to each and every video you share. We sometimes even watch them twice. :) Jill and Gary

[@haikasprey5779]

Wat een prachtige ode aan je moeder! ❤

[@annettekilpela4723]

What a great trip. Your mom is in great shape for her age. Unfortunate that she didn’t have her own bike. I loved the sound of gravel under the bike tires. Your choice of music is so relaxing that I hardly noticed it.

[@whoisappie]

I'm 1 minute in and I'm like: the EDITING!!?? :o you've improved so much since you started this channel!

[@warrench4939]

Family resemblance without a doubt. 21:08 Also making that bike bag takes deep skills and creativity.

[@YLeeFranklin]

This felt like a love letter to your mother and made me tear up. I’m on holidays with my family right now and I appreciated the reminder to enjoy every minute. It was a great video!

[@pdq5465]

❤️

[@James-In-Exile]

These vlogs are so beautifully put together with the different camera styles blending seamlessly, and the music perfectly complementing the different segments. The vlogs were always well made, but they're now on a different level. Your mum is a fantastic character!

[@annettec8555]

It seems so isolated, no cars. What a privilege to have your mother help you and join in the bike trip.

[@Pilot333]

That was like a true testimony to your mother.... what an adventurous unapologetic woman.

[@elisabethbenders-hyde5286]

Loved listening to your mom tell her story in Dutch. It brings me back to when I was young. Next year she will bring her own bike from home and you are going to go on a true adventure.

[@wildaltarose]

I am the same age as your mother, and you are so fortunate to have this special time with her. Elizabeth is so capable and full of energy, that probably comes from the fact she is keeping busy. I love that you said you had a great trip and your mom said it was awful.

[@71suns]

😂😂😂!

[@m.bakker3998]

Wat een mooie video Rosie! Een mooie herinnering maken met ouders is zo belangrijk. En geweldig om Nederlands te horen. Fijne zomer nog!

[@suemcknight9051]

Initially, I was sad that this new video would not be about what you’re up to with your home building/summer gardening. But, sadness was short lived as I am a big fan of mothers & daughters (being one & having some 😉). I think we already knew what a treasure your mum is from seeing her in other videos. I always love your comments filled with honesty & subtle humor & am in awe of your videography skills (& the time that takes to get such excellent results). Many of us must be envying what a wonderful adventure to have & keep alive in your heart …spent with the person who gave you life. Thank you for sharing this special time with all of us. I am a devoted subscriber from Vermont, USA 🇺🇸

[@pdq5465]

I agree with everything that you’ve said. It’s very nicely expressed. From a Rosie fan in the Toronto area🇨🇦

[@DianneC8287]

Is there anything you can’t create Rosie? I mean creating your bike bags without a pattern, and renovating your home! You so encourage me!😮

[@paulocruz2723]

Rosie, what an intoxicating treasure: family, bicycle, path, forest, freedom... Addictive narrative and production. A big thank you from Portugal.

[@JulieScotchford]

Every video no matter where you are is just so engaging. Thank you 😊

[@magorzatapopek6085]

Your mom and you are amazing! Wild and free. ❤

[@chippychick6261]

We do take on some of our parents traits. Fortunately, for us, you brought to life your mother’s sense for adventure and indomitable spirit. The pair of you are exceptional women. ❤

[@liandereuling]

Helemaal mee eens 😊

[@Snuffz]

Another beautiful memory for both of you ♥

[@Bookwright]

Thing is with "different" nature and wild nature in Götaland is that it's a bit harder to feel alone there. Hiking routes with "wilder nature" and different scenic paths are very popular and not very wild feeling. I can warmly recommend the granit cliffs in Bohuslän for walking but you won't be alone in late spring to september. The birch forests is an different forest all together as is the Oak forest on Visingsö. If one wants no forest in the southof Sweden then Allvaret on Öland, the rockformations on Gotland and the cliffs of the west coast is the closest. You have mountain not to far north in Värmland and Dalarna. Our two mountains in Västra Götaland are covered in forest.

[@debbiesundeen2986]

I loved this video, it choked me up when your mom was commenting about your state. As she trailed you on the road it was if I could see you at her present age. What a memory. Thank you for such a beautiful harmony of your time with your mom.

[@Beruthiel45]

Thank you for sharing your Mum, Rosie. We can see that you're definitely your mother's daughter, indomitable and adventurous and fearless. And if I may say, beautiful too. I hope she gets to ride to the North Cape one more time. I'm 79 and gave up cycling quite a few years ago. Brava! Blessings to you both. 💞🤗

[@ScissorsAndSmiles]

loved hearing your mum talk of her previous adventures. She sounds like a strong, capable woman. I hope she gets to do the Nordkap tour soon.
