Moody Autumn Days | Halloween Pumpkin Cookies | Castle Combe | Slow Living Silent Vlog

Support my channel: ko-fi.com/dari...
Hi friends,
this is a silent vlog again - so enjoy a relaxing and calm, but ever so slightly spooky video, Halloween edition.
I woke up one morning only to find the village covered in thickest fog. I thought this was very appropriate for the end of the season! I also visited Castle Combe, a beautiful village in English countryside, carved a pumpkin and baked some cute Halloween cookies!
PUMPKIN COOKIES:
I used these two recipes, but adapted them for myself by adding pumpkin to the batter - which in turn made the cookies on the softer side.
I wrote the instructions on how I adapted them in the video, but you can also follow one of the original recipes!

Fall, Leaves, Fall - a poem by Emily Bronte:
Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night’s decay
Ushers in a drearier day

[@cerridwencottagediary9194]

So magical and cinematic! I always watch Practical Magic and recently Discovery of Witches. Greetings from a tiny cottage in Wales

[@IamDaria]

They are so fun to watch this time of the year! 😊 Oh and a tiny cottage in Wales sounds so amazing! 🥰

[@fatimashaikjee6408]

Truely a work of Art! Loved the Emily Bronte poem incorporation . This felt like clips from a movie..Loved the horses too.. Absolutely stunning..

[@IamDaria]

Aah thank you! 🥰

[@1977xander]

Dear Daria, you put such meticulous and loving care into your videos. Each one is a small and miraculous work of art. It’s enormously appreciated. They bring me (and no doubt many others) a great sense of both peace and wonder. Thank you ❤

Pumpkin cookies: I used these two recipes, but adapted them for myself by adding pumpkin puree to the batter - which in turn made the cookies on the softer side. I wrote the instructions on how I adapted them in the video, but you can also follow one of the original recipes! www.kudoskitchenbyrenee.com/pumpkin-shaped-sugar-cookies/ www.halfbakedharvest.com/roly-poly-pumpkin-cookies/ That shot with reverse candle flame was inspired by a movie Practical Magic. 🎃 Since we are on the subject - what are your favorite movies to watch this season?

[@thecottagelibrary]

I have been wanting to watch it forever, but it’s not on Netflix 😊 I might need to buy it soon!

[@keithlomas6107]

I haven't a TV... so will watch my cat's moves instead 🐈

[@Aco747lyte]

The Girl in the Café, an older film of 2005 starring Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald. It's beautiful with both actors on top form. 😊

This is one of the most beautiful channel videos I've watched. 👏👏👏 It's spring in the southern hemisphere. 🏵🌹🌻🌼 With channels like yours, I can experience two stations at the same time. 🍁🌻🍂🌱

[@IamDaria]

Ooh thank you! Spring is lovely, if it were up to me I'd always skip between spring and autumn! 😊

[@oldeuropemyhome76]

A beautiful video. I love the poem you chose.

[@Phantom_093]

I love how this started quite dramatic but ended on a positive note :)

[@IamDaria]

I kind of thought it's turning out too dramatic at start, that's why 😀

Lovely October video, enjoyed it so much! The Village especially, thank you.

[@IamDaria]

Thank you! The village is so picturesque isn't it!

[@mercedesamoree1234]

You have the kind of creativity with cinematography that world famous artists like Wes Anderson have. The ability to tell a story through silence and music. Just moving pictures and magic. It would be a dream to watch a film that is as beautifully crafted and thoughtful as your videos

[@Rosa70_puentes]

I loved this video so much 🤎, Autumn is my Absolute favorite season, I’m a Libra 😊. The Mist, architecture, statues etc.🤗🍂love it all. Thank you for sharing 👍👍

[@debby891]

Absolutely beautiful from start to finish and autumn is my absolute favorite season of all🍁🍁🍁🍁

[@vadiminthewild]

Outstanding 👌 What lens used?

[@thecottagelibrary]

This was so beautiful! I loved how it started and the transition to an optimistic, yet poetic, end. I resonate with your quote so much! 🤎 “A building is just a building. A statute is just a statue. But with the right mind it becomes a setting for the most wonderful stories”. 🤎🍂

[@IamDaria]

Thank you so much! 🥰 I hope the beginning wasn’t too spooky! 😄🎃

[@thecottagelibrary]

@@IamDaria it was the perfect amount and the kind of spooky I love during autumn! 🤎🍁 I admire your work!!

[@penelopesparrow]

To be honest, I can't understand how anyone can be sad in autumn. I have ptsd so I definitely know sad, but autumn is such a beautiful, cozy, relaxed season especially after the hellfire of summer. But then I live in Australia; the English summer is much nicer than here! Spring is my sadness time; all that endless blue sky that hurts my eyes, sunlight-induced migraines, and knowing summer is almost here... boo. Nothing makes me feel more alive than walking in misty weather!

[@glamgirltravel]

I’m so glad I came across this video and channel.

The leaves here in Pennsylvania fell far too quickly. I have a home in NEw York too, but there the leaves are still so colorful on the trees.

Autumnal sadness... Perfect explanation of what I usually feel every year at this time. I adore the season, but I do feel a sort of melancholy, at the same time. Add in that we lost a fur baby late September and the melancholy has been compounded this year.

just lovely - thanks for the reminder to play - when Wendy ALec from God tv had an experience with the Father, there were shards of glass coming out of her head in the vision and He said its trauma coming out - and He said her healing would come thru rest and play - so you're so right - her book called visions or somehthing like that talks about it- and we just forget so much that we need to play and rest xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Daria, if you produced a full length feature film it would be absolute magic, and this video moved me so deeply, and I was glad it finished on a positive note. Thank you for all these masterpieces, though my impression is you are very lonely. My love and affection to you, Wendi 🌻🌺🌺

[@IamDaria]

Thank you so much for such kind words Wendi! 😌 Ah interesting that I give off such an impression. It’s true that I spend quite a lot of time alone, but I wouldn’t call myself lonely. There are just a handful of people who I hold close and they’re very dear, but never appear in my videos. Perhaps, that’s because in my videos I show the world that comes from within, sometimes separating it from the outside to an extent. I love being around people, but I recharge in that own world. Lately I started sharing it with others more 😌

[@Aco747lyte]

@@IamDaria You wrote that beautifully and I can see just how deep your videos are. Again, thank you so much! 🌺🌺 - And thank you for the pumpkin cookies recipe!

[@ambientbeathub1415]

It wasn't until after I got my cookies piped onto my sheet that I realized you did not give out any listing for baking power or baking soda. Which you obviously used. So my cookies came out a flat mess. Very disappointing

[@IamDaria]

I didn’t use baking powder or baking soda for this. They’re butter cookies which don’t usually use any raising agents. Sorry your cookies turned out flat! Did you whisk the butter and sugar long enough at the beginning?

[@IamDaria]

[@Maiasatara]

Absolutely beautiful but I don’t know why you wasted time making cookies. Did you hope to attract food viewers since there are so many? You have such a great eye but maybe a little too much “slo-mo running?” I was a little disappointed that you ended on sunshine! Not everything needs a happy or optimistic wrap up. Her disappearing down a foggy path into the night, broken cookies on the wet earth, would really leave minds wondering. You should be making short films. I’m a screenwriter and your visuals are inspiring.

[@IamDaria]

Interesting perspective, thank you! 😊 I made cookies because that’s what I wanted to try that day - and since in part of my videos I just do what I do… I did exactly that. Slo-mo running in all honesty is sometimes used because with the real speed running the shot is too short and I need it to go longer with the music. And I ended on the sunshine because, well, the sun came out when I was filming. I would love to make short films instead - but to be honest I’m not a screenwriter and am not good at it. Creating in a spur of a moment, catching that fog or sunshine or inspiration when it appears, documenting the realistic but also the inner world - that’s what I do best. It’s not supposed to be 100% fiction, or 100% real. It’s somewhere in between, hence, may disappoint someone.

[@purrsephone2904]

Thank you for the wonderful video. What are the outside temperatures like? I live in a mild climate. 🤍

[@IamDaria]

It's very very warm for this time of the year, it's been at 17-18C (around 64F) which is unheard of in October. On that foggy morning we had the only cold night this month, and a warm day, hence why the fog appeared.
