Moving to a remote cottage in Pembrokeshire, Wales

Last summer, we moved to a remote cottage in Pembrokeshire, Wales. This is the beginning of that story. It's had ups and downs - a constant balance of freedom and isolation, but I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to live in this corner of the world, and wanted to share it here in a cozy vlog 💕
Because everyone always asks 'How far is your nearest supermarket?' I thought I'd clarify that there are lots of lovely towns around here with shops, restaurants and cafes, but it does take us at least 20 minutes to drive to a shop (not too far at all, really!) and as I'm trying to be more present, I don't film when we go to town, so you won't see that side of things on my vlog.

Just thought I'd mention, after a few comments on the topic, that my partner and I both work remotely (me as a photographer, creating imagery for brands, and Alex works in software). More and more people are finding this kind of lifestyle possible after remote work became more common during/after the pandemic ☺

Remote work gives so much freedom, I love it

Have you thought of investing in a drone to capture all the stunning Welsh countryside? You don’t need to reveal where you live, just pick and choose on your travels. Apologies if you already have, just caught up with your channel today. Subscribed, liked and wish you well. Carmarthenshire is absolutely beautiful too.

So happy to have found you. Recently, my darling husband passed unexpectedly, and seeing the two of you so young and in love made me feel happier and hopeful that, with the change of seasons, my life force will gain strength. Glad you invited me.

[@nicolashall9019]

My gran had a saying, the gist of which was that the difference between living for the little moments and the grand ones is simple. There are bound to be millions of little ones, and only a handful of the grand. We all know the grand ones when they come along, so you don’t have to worry you’ll miss out on them. But true living is embracing all of the small moments. That's where you’re most likely to find yourself. I missed a lot when I was younger, because I was sure that I, the globe trekking, big moment seeking wanderer, had it right. I didn’t. So glad the two of you are living the small, truly extraordinary moments together, and sharing them here as well. Enjoy!

Codswallop I have driven around Snowden(not Guinness Mont or whatever the local tongue says) three times and all I saw was mist, then, when entering shops, the locals turned away, refused to engage and started speaking in the local patois with a malice that was palpable. I am far from the only foreigner who has experienced that there.

I relocated to Wales 4 years ago, and the relentless winter grey does take bit of getting used to! This winter was particularly long and wet, but I now structure the bulk of my work to those dreary months, and take the lighter months off. The late spring and summers here are lovely, but it is definitely an adjustment. Lovely video!

[@adventuringbeth]

@@KayeRobs that’s an interesting idea! I have always tended to take the winter months off because of low energy, but then felt sad to work all through summer. Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong! And I completely agree, the summers are gorgeous, and can’t complain about how green everything is! Thank you ☺️

[@catfish9539]

I’ve just found your channel. What a beautiful house you moved into. That big window and the deep window sills are so cosy. The Pembroke coast is so lovely. Your video made me have a tear or three for all the things that make me homesick. Beautiful trees, animals in fields rugged coastlines the Dawn chorus, beautiful little towns. To live remote you need more cats!! I now live on a small island on the Atlantic coast of Canada, Fairly remotely, 2 hours for a big shop. I love it. I don’t miss people. I watch the deer, pheasants and eagles flying over, I embrace the little things every day. A pretty cloud, the change in colour of the ocean, the different wild flowers. I try and embrace the best of the seasons every day, whatever it may hold. I miss my family and friends and go back to visit England. I miss the quintessential Englishness of things so much but it’s so busy, fast paced, people aren’t always friendly.

[@adventuringbeth]

Thank you so much for this comment - your life sounds so peaceful and beautiful, I've always wanted to visit Canada. We like the birds too much for more cats, my house cat has already started venturing outside to try and catch them 😂 You should visit pembrokeshire one day, people here, as a rule, are aaaaalways friendly, and the pace is nice and slow ☺

[@tinaerskine7855]

It's almost like I'm watching myself. We sold and moved this year in April. We are only 10 minutes away from Wales, and we are in a fairly rural location. We are still adjusting also. But we absolutely love it here. The peace and the beauty of the stillness. The wildlife. We are yet to experience our first winter, but for once in my life, im actually looking forward to it. Even as Autumn has now arrived, it evokes a totally different sensation in me. All the leaves are slowly turning into warm colours, and Im even looking forward to snowfall. I hope so. Apparently, we will get a lot. I'm so excited. I do find myself feeling isolated at times as well. My family is scattered all over. But, I keep myself busy with projects and crafts. It really helped. I also got burned out when we first arrived on top of Fibromyalgia. I had to learn to be kind to myself and rest until I had the strength to continue. You do learn a lot. Im glad I discovered your channel. Maybe I won't feel so alone now. I wish you all the happiness.

Watching this made me think about my daughter who would love a home like your's. The way you have accepted how nature works in Wonderful Wet Wales, is so inspiring for other's who may come here. It was also quite emotional for me, not only for how happy my daughter would be, but the way you filmed your life with the cottage and how you have decorated, but also how being outside can bring us to a place of calmness within nature. My daughter has said for some time now that she would love to move to Tenby, or down that area. She is in University studying Interior design Architecture, so seeing this may give some inspiration for her move in the future. Thank you.

I also moved away from family and when I really miss them, I'll usually just drive up to their place for about 5-7 days. It helps me to know, that I can just go and visit them whenever I need to. Being surrounded by almost nothing and feeling isolated is normal, but seeing that you don't have to stay while missing people helps immensely. At least it helps me 🙂

This little film was beautiful, my hubby and I have moved to a cottage in the countryside and I still get mesmerised by the scenery and nature at it's best, I was ill and it healed me, especially watching the birds and the first time hearing an owl hooting, seeing deer and foxes, total bliss 😊 ☺️ 😊

Agree about living according to the seasons here. It’s an old fashioned detail I love. I’m in North Pembrokeshire on an old farm. I don’t know if you live close to the sea, but I’ve found that the shipping forecast is more reliable warning about the storms than the standard weather forecast. It’s handy to know if a storm force 10 is due and outdoor things can be gathered up safely in advance.

Loved what you said about the hard winter stripping away things you needed to let go, and making your roots stronger.

I moved to Pembrokeshire 13 years ago from Wiltshire. I love it. There's actually alot going on and you just have to get out there and find what you're interested in. It's not as isolated as it first appears. When I first came I was lonely but I met a woman who told me about a sports club which I joined. It made the world of difference and I met loads of like minded people. Good luck with it and I hope you stay. Might see you on a beach one day 🙂

as a fellow girly living in an isolated place, the winter is really no time to rush anything. Even when you look into history, winter was always a resting time of the year. You would do some activities but nothing extra taxing, like baking, or you can try some new recipies and making jelly and this kind of stuff. Or knitting as our grandmas did or just sewing. Or the reading you did. I felt so sad at the beginning that I not "productive enough" that I just dont have the power in the fall/winter. But I came to terms with the fact that after the so busy summers, its just a normal phase of that cycle. For connecting again with family and friends, you can try writing letters. It may sound silly but its also the creative outlet you may be looking for, you can customise them and everything and it gives you something to look forward to. The winters are hard in isolation. Even when you dont live really that far out of the city or in a small village, you will still feel it creeping in. So just try to relax and be gentle on yourself, you arent alone in your feelings

I just found this video and I wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. It really resonates with my own life, as I just moved from midst of Europe to northern Sweden, being away from family and friends and really enjoying but also dreading this situation. I love that being in nature brings us closer to ourselves and I want this process to continue. All the best for your life, Im excited what will happen next!

[@adventuringbeth]

I've often been drawn to the idea of Northern Sweden, I hope you'll be very happy there. The challenging parts will highlight the beauty and enhance your inner strength ❤ Good luck!

[@studiofare]

@@adventuringbeth Thank you, it is beautiful here. We'll grow into it! :)

Beautiful video - so soothing ❤ I've lived in Pembrokeshire for 26 years (since I was a teenager) - the last 5 in Narberth. There are lots of creative things going on here you might like. Span Arts is a community organization that does loads of arty hippy stuff - workshops, performances and groups. Im going to start doing one or two things with them now groups are starting up again after summer ( or whatever it was 🙄 ) x

[@adventuringbeth]

@@spicybiscuit88 ooh thank you for this comment, I absolutely love Narberth and have been looking for an arty workshop or group to join!

Hi from Cologne, Germany. What a loveley channel. Thanks for sharing your life. I am a bit jealous because I would like to live the same way. But I am single -after loosing my husband to cancer 5 years ago (we've been together for over 40 years)- and not brave enough to do such a step. Thanks for beeing with you. Lots of love Edith

Pembrokeshire is my favourite place 💗💗 Haven’t been for a few years now but I know I’ll be back 💗💗

[@guadalupesosa4761]

I love ! your place 😍 the pain color is beautiful.

[@snakesrock22]

This is a lovely video. I live in Pembrokeshire and this has made me realise that sometimes I need to stop and appreciate how beautiful a place it really is!

[@adventuringbeth]

@@snakesrock22 thank you so much! It really is a magical place, isn’t it? So easy to feel that the grass is always greener elsewhere - I would be lying if I said I didn’t crave city breaks or sunny holidays, but as a place to live, Pembrokeshire really is lovely 🩷

[@snakesrock22]

Yes, it’s fun to go back to the city every so often and enjoy the outfits, shops and abundance of restaurants! But when you could visit a new beach every weekend Pembs wins 😁

[@TheEmpressgoth]

May you and yours Ms Beth have many happy years in your home 😊😊😊
