[@marysmyth8288]

Oh the Abundance , the Abundance , flowers and fruit trees And herbs and collard 🥬 greens

[@radicalcartoons2766]

It's so relaxing to watch your older videos, before the world went completely batsh-t crazy!

[@marysmyth8288]

Dear Collette, born in Belfast 1943 Lived most of my married life Bangor Co Down Emigrated to Canada 1982 Must comment , when viewing your film I so relate to that sounding wind and can sense The coldness . Is nice to go back to a time When you had your beautiful Faithful Collie Jack 👏 And how I love the sounds of your wind chimes My husband and myself had two beautiful Apple 🍎 tree’s On our land an we loved to watch the deer come to feed On the fallen ones. Mary Canada 🍁

[@paolanardo6442]

Hi Colette! Just a quick note about that huge timber still standing dispite time and weather.. I see it like a totem..still bringing fertility and abundance for you and your land.. Ciao😊

[@marysmyth8288]

Dear Collette to hear and to see without eyes Mary Canada 🍁

[@lindaenzor-manson5217]

Whenever I need a place for some peace I take refuge by watching your channel.

[@nay7281]

Your videos are always a delight....I always learn something new. Thank you❤️

[@veganworldpeace2649]

Good day and night to you dear Colette! I dream of living a similar life as you do. My life is not congruent as my soul, philosophy and ethics. which makes for much painful grief. I cherish what you say snd share. Your friend, Tracy d'Urso ( means "of the bear" in Italian)

[@TheGenFem]

I love all of Bealtaine’s magic. Thank you for inviting us in.

[@DoubleOld7]

Thanks you for the wisdom on bay leaves. I really needed that yesterday when I was having bad dreams, which is highly unusual for me. You are simply a treasure trove of useful tips & information. I'll have to look around for a bay tree for my home garden.

[@sandrasenergy]

Good morning. Everything is looking wonderfully abundant there. I can almost smell the amazing scents you are smelling! In Ontario we are going through a thawing with lots of rain. Water everywhere. I won't complain because we will need it so bad soon. Helping everything grow. We have a lot of winds here also. Worldwide it seems? Mother is blowing the stink off and getting us ready for a great energy cycle!!!😂 Loads of blessings to everyone who reads this. Have a great day❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@maryfennell9672]

I have lots and lots of primroses, they even come up in little cracks in the path and I find them in my pots too! I love them and feel blessed to have them everywhere. No chemicals used in my little garden!

[@posiesattic121]

Thank you so much for sharing your home and gardens this morning. They are truly beautiful.

[@GeorgiasVintageWorld]

Ooh your videos always make me feel sooo chilled out and happy!

[@madhuriparanjape620]

Loved the tour. Never seen this part of the bank. All the surroundings seem to be donning the Spring cloak in a span of just couple of days. So pristine and full of Hope, the sign of Spring. Amazing as always. 💚💚💚 It keeps the hope alive for me too especially when I live in a city where I see the eGo trying bruise the mother Earth ever single day. When I see the phoniness behind the so-called eco-friendly policies implemented by people in power and the oblivion of masses towards the Nature around them. Thank you for sharing the beauty and magic.

[@juliefermer3257]

Lovely. Restorative. And I covet your froggy pot holder!! 🐸

[@steveparkes4365]

Gonna definitely try bay leaf in milk, thank you.

[@susannescholtes8588]

Thanks Colette! Learned two things today: the burning of bay leaves and the word showoffiness...😀

[@corneliabraun9071]

Dear Colette , the forest walk was beautiful . Everything awakens and raises his leaves . Pity that we can not smell the scent of the air . Thank you for the many times you invest to show us the beauty of nature 🌳 . Have a nice day . Best regards and many hugs for you and Jack and your loved ones from Conny Braun and cat Felix from Germany. ❤️🌞🌺🐝🐶

[@millesoc]

I love watching your videos for the peace and inspiration they bring. I love your motto EGO2ECO. Hint, Hint....that would make a lovely bumper sticker. I would buy them and pass them out to friends.Maybe others would to. Anyway, wanted to pass on that idea to you to see what you think of it. Peace and Happiness to you.

[@nesscrisp8372]

Thanks Colette, really needed to visit your peaceful garden tonight. When you said that "I'm doing the filming with you in mind because I want you to see what I can see" it brought a smile, you are magic. After a sad horrible weekend I just knew that Bealtaine would bring peace tonight. I live in the beautiful but sad Christchurch, New Zealand. Thank you, love Ness

[@suespiers9943]

Ness, may all affected in Christchurch feel supported, healing light ,love and peace to all.🙏💗☮️

[@DoubleOld7]

I so enjoy viewing your garden through your eyes.

[@melaniepaylor4209]

Thank you Colette for the lovely dander around the garden . Everything is looking beautiful ( including Jack)😃.blessings to you both xxxx

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

Oh Colette I wish I knew about the bay leaves last night. I'm not going into it but Christchurch New Zealand is an extremely sad place today. I have lots and lots of bay just growing for the sake of growing because I just grow. Sanctuary, so glad you posted today. I LOVE YOUR FROGS!!!!! They just appeared as I'm writing. Thank you dear lady.

[@bealtainecottage]

In my thoughts and prayers XXX Blessings Colette

[@widdershins2687]

A very sad day indeed.

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

@@bealtainecottage Your sanctuary was my sanctuary today. Your post let me forget the cruelty of people and immerse myself in the Mother. Your goodwill and giving is greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

[@kalayne6713]

Thinking of you all in NZ from Australia, so sad. Bealtaine Cottage has been my comfort and joy for a while now, may it be yours during this deeply distressing time.

[@Donna.V]

Thinking of you and your neighbors in Christchurch NZ. Hideous unbelievable inhumanity inflicted upon such beautiful places. I hope you didn't lose anyone in the madness. I wish peace, healing, and blessings for you and all who were touched by that embodiment of evil. Be well, and heal in time. We are all lucky that Colette shares Bealtaine with us.

[@shelleyimmel8067]

I wonder if I could grow bay tree in western Oregon on my patio off my condo? I may need to explore. I do love your walk about even many months of years after you make the videos🙏

[@annmitchable]

What a Beautiful place so quit and calm. I love listening those bird singing in the background too!!.that kind of place I love to live.

[@margaretlouiseable]

Your garden blows my mind! I always wonder if you are as nourished by bravely sharing your story with complete strangers, as we are by having a SISTER who is a very beautiful version of us tell us that story? With 6 planets in Scorpio I probably would be too paranoid. I went to my local garden center today. A big beautiful place owned by a woman I must say (and a dog). She had so many gorgeous things she has created. A fat nepithytis for $65. Gorgeous but I'm gonna get a cutting from work. I'm learning! Love love love ya Sis. You have lots of guts, talent, and a very generous heart. Thank you!

[@magickmoi1261]

Maggy Wilson 6;planets in Scorpio ♏️. Oh my! What is that like? My Mom was a Scorpio and even though I’m a Cancer we never bonded well. She was a tough one.

[@lisascott9670]

I love the slow walk and talking about each plant. Water is life

[@hannahoron9740]

I find it very reasuring actually, to see that Mother Earth or Nature is stronger than us, humans. We don't know anything, but are constant in making a mess of everything. May you be blessed!!!

[@hodgepodgewitch1420]

Thank you for sharing your amazing space. Blessings.

[@rosa-f4865]

Good afternoon Colette and Jack thank you for the lovely walk and the seeing the part we haven't seen before everything is coming alive at Bealtiane cottage I will remember that about bay leaves Blessings to you Colette and Jack xx

[@annettefields792]

Thank you so much for the gorgeous walk. I really enjoyed your pausing and panning so we could see all the lovely buds and flowers and greening. It really lifted my spirits. I'm so glad you care about mother earth and share with us! It means so much! Blessings to you and Jack!

[@allisonosborne5881]

Good Morning! Hope your day is treating you well! I'm planting a few trees after work today and absolutely adore burning bay leaves. Thank you as always, Colette!

[@connielee2797]

Oh my what a difference from this to present 🥰💕🌹I’m watching your previous videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 the improvements are amazing!❤️

[@dollydog1903]

Thank you for a view of your land. I had always thought I’d travel to Ireland but now at 72 I don’t think it will happen. My family origin are in Mayo County. I remember my Dad telling me not to forget that. Love seeing Ireland through your lens.

[@sheilabrewster6810]

That is a beautiful cauldron Colette. I lo r the style of Bealtaine Cottage. Its decorated beautifully!🏡💚

[@arcd135]

Thanks for the tip for burning a couple of Bayleaves to help with sleeping and a big massive thank you for you'r videos, they are simply beutiful. Blessings to you and Jack.

[@EmiliesPiano]

It would be so cool if you could pot some of the primroses and sell them. ❤ Perhaps it would help in their preservation!

[@clairrollings3988]

I love your space and I love burning bayleaves and sage but my partner, who is a lot of the time negative, can't stand that I do this but I sneakily do it anyway to clear negative vibrations.

[@jhankri]

Glorious Bealtaine is truly a celebration of Mother Earth!

[@SVENofKY]

Thnx for making me more aware of my natural surroundings!! I’ve decided to make this year one of being more cognizant of fungi... just looking for them... trying to ID them... researching their uses... being more engaged.

[@laurielamonday3134]

So happy there are so many of your lush videos to watch, discover and soak up information. Such a wonderful escape! Blessed Be Colette

[@widdershins2687]

Thank you for the wonderful tips about bay leaves and the lovely slow-pan walk in the garden. :)

[@suegreen3546]

Another WONDERFUL video Colette....I can remember primroses growing wild,along with many other flowers,but sadly no longer.Here where I live,Kent,was always known as the Garden of England,but the powers that be have slowly taken most of our countryside away,,,heartbreaking.Thanku Colette for doing ure bit in preserving our Mother,Bless ya! Have a wonderful Saturday hunni,give Jack a big cuddle from me,he's such a luvvly fellah....Lottsa Luv & Blessings.Sue.xxxx

[@AcornHillHomestead]

There is so much beauty in decay. Love the little piece of driftwood stuck in the ground with the sun bird feeder.

[@dannsherstone1037]

PRESSING BAY LEAVES: dry between layers of parchment paper and weigh it down with books - you can do several layers at a time

[@sueturner8122]

I have a bay tree growing very well (here in Aus) but never knew you could burn the dry leaves, so I just tried it and the smell is so lovely. Hoping to have pleasant dreams tonight! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and garden.

[@SHaas-vj6nu]

As Jack nips around the corner at the end. Our Autumn is just around the corner! Lovely video Colette.

[@82EliCa]

Watched this today at my cubicle, while eating my lunch. I love your videos, love, love, love!

[@justsayin397]

I love your cottage.... just so beautiful and creative .... you have a gift x

[@elainesplots1132]

I can’t believe the difference between then & now! It looks so different when the trees are almost naked. ❤️

[@Blancobobea]

I love your casual witchy tips and energy! Will be burning a couple of bay leaves tonight, thank you!

[@loisbanks3614]

Loving the Bealtaine Cottage bay leaves thank you very much!

[@ParkrosePermaculture]

Love that little froggie plant stand! What a find! I'm in Portland, Oregon, and I think your climate is comparable to mine, but perhaps a bit more mild. Everything is starting to leaf out here, and temps are going to be in the 60s F. Heading out to the garden now to work on our rocket bread oven and excited for the sunshine. Always love watching your videos at night or early in the morning while I get some knitting done. Thanks for sharing your lovely home and garden.

[@dwaynecuster]

Magpie! I cannot wait to see those lovely creatures again. 6 weeks to go until Bealtaine. =)

[@jyotichugani2996]

We use bay leaves when we cook rice sometimes. The essence of it is transferred in the rice and it changes your energy frequency to a higher level.

[@suzanne48]

Blessings to you too ,Colette. . Spring has arrived in west Tennessee. Blossoms are on every tree that blossoms, the rest are sprouting leaves. Sadly insects are coming up too. Fireants, wasps,hornets all mean bugs prevail here. Sigh. Love to you & Jack. Blessings

[@lindahunnisett4331]

Love it all

[@paulaespiritu5009]

Your knowledge of plants is amazing

[@Fritos314]

What an enjoyable stroll!

I just want to come and spend some time with you i love your home and garden hugs sara

[@katrinamorrison6754]

Lovely

The rebirthing earth -how beautiful your garden is in spring

[@michelelavender1967]

I put a bay leaf into my pot of tea with green or black tea and and and aniseed,its nice and refreshing.I also always throw in bay leaves to most of my cooking.

[@cannett8966]

Relaxing. C 🍀🍀🍀👻👻👻

[@valcor69]

I burn bay leaves too - they have so many uses. Amazing smell. Some believe if you write on them, you can also use them for spells.

[@63artemisia63]

Primroses? Endangered? O my goddesses. Here in Alabama, the state machinery (the literal machinery, that is) mows them down flat all summer, along with another favorite, Queen Anne’s Lace. THEN they plant state-approved wildflowers in their place, if you can believe it.

[@sandyralston5814]

I think it is a different kind of primrose.

[@magickmoi1261]

[@clarebuswell]

It's lovely to see the garden as always. I was just wondering how the frogspawn is doing in your pond, have the tadpoles emerged yet and I was interested to know if you have little newts in the pond? I only recently discovered that we had newts in our pond when I was taking our dog out at night (to do his business!), I was walking next to the pond and shone the torch into the water and saw four little newts swimming around. I did look online to see if newts eat tadpoles and they do apparently, maybe that's why not so many of the tadpoles make it to adulthood in our pond. There always seems to be hundreds of tadpoles, I'm always expecting lots of frogs but just a few survive. The newts are fascinating to watch too though. Thanks for making your videos, they are really inspiring. P.S. I know you don't have time to answer questions on here.

[@carrahful]

Scraps become a natural habitat for little woodland creatures. Good for plants and trees apparently as well.wish I had a place like yours to walk around in and explore daily lovely green house" tunnel".

[@steveholland6982]

What a lovely house.

[@cyndypierce3405]

You may want to consider sending fresh Bay leaves instead of dried ones. That way it won't be all smashed and broken in the post and the receiver can dry it out themselves. Just a suggestion. Thank you for the info on the calming effects of Bay leaves.

[@firesidewitch1398]

Wow, I burn bay leaf in my burn pot also. 🌎🌬️🔥🌊

[@marysmyth8288]

@annmitchable: yes so sweetly sing the wee birds Happy little tweets 🕊️ Mary Canada 🍁

[@clairrollings3988]

Also my daughter is named Laurel because she was born during the 1988 Olympics my Mummy named her. 💝

[@aslfdjalskjflkajs134]

When I used to have a dog, she got slower rising and moving as she got older, with some genetic and age related joint issues. My family didn't know right away. When we found out, the vet told us to try giving her some expensive fish oil pills. (I think they were salmon oil.) They helped her mobility and comfort. Later we found out less expensive fish oil seemed to work just as well for her joint pain and mobility. I don't know if Jack has any joint issues, but when he was slow to get up, it made me think of my dog. They can't tell us what they need, unfortunately. Just some thoughts. Love the video..

[@carriem7832]

I love the mirror on your mantel...did you make it?

[@Advent397]

Colette, I notice you are very frugal with electricity use. Do you mind me asking, how long approximately €20 on the card lasts you ? Thanks.

[@Ladysarauk]

I have this argument with my mum she hates that i wont use weed killer and slug pellets etc unless its organic even then i dont like to. She loves her garden and its beautiful but she'll use weed killer. Hugs sara

[@marysmyth8288]

@lindaenzor-mason5217: yes yes me too , Collettes vlogs completely lift my spirits As well as her knowledge to share with us Mary Canada 🍁
