Autumn has arrived in England and it's time to slow down... I spend a zen November afternoon in the garden harvesting the last of the vegetables and reflecting on the recent changes in my life. An Eckart Tolle quote sums up my feelings about creating space for change to happen, and although the unknown is scary, I trust that life is unfolding just as it should. With my apartment sold, I will soon be leaving the city for a new life in the countryside. This could be one of the final days in my London garden. #winter #SlowLiving #cottagecore

This video is about a zen day in my garden as the fall season arrives. I have a slow living day, enjoying the last of the sunshine as Autumn gets well underway and winter approaches. I'll harvest the last of my Bramley apples, kale and tomatoes, and pick some cut flowers (Cosmos). I'm pondering my upcoming move away from London and into the Cambridgeshire countryside. I reflect on how so-called problems may have been just what I needed to allow life to unfold as needed.
I read this recent Eckhart Tolle quote that shows how the season of Autumn beautifully mirrors the path to change in our own lives: "Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge."
......
I enjoy and make videos all about slow living, present moment, personal growth and development, the power of now, daily routines and living mindfully. I am interested in mindfulness practices, yoga, pilates, meditation and general musings on the meaning of life. I am a classic introvert, and get my energy from solitude, quiet time and creating a peaceful home to be my daily sanctuary.

I found your vlogs by accident but glad I did love your garden beautiful. I've just come out of a 41 year of being with my husband and I am now trying to put my life back together it's been so scary tying to think for one learning to do things by myself how to decorate do the gardening, listening to what you said helps and will carry on watching your videos for ideas for how to have my home and garden.

Thank yooou. Definitely trying to improve my camera skills with each video. It’s a combo of iPhone and Sony camera shots until I can justify a new lens 😂

Enjoyed watching your garden. Your voice is soothing and your narrative is beautiful, your thoughts philosophical and full of wisdom and positivity. A tryly different experience on KZbin and that too coming from such a young person. For some of us it takes ages to attain this.

Thank you so much for the kind comments. I think I was lucky to have the right books and meditations come into my life at a young age and it just stuck. The more I look around me and (try to) relax about the way life unfolds the more it seems things just align if you let them. Thanks so much for watching 🙂

Hopefully your next "nest" you move into will provide an ample landscape for planting. A garden is so full of life and the gardener has the privilege of caretaker and partner in the gardens magical yields. Prayers for your new path of life. Stay in touch with your audience when you can. 😇

Welcome to a world where peace reigns, imagination soars, and a unique ambience, which Wordsworth refers to as "emotions recollected in tranquility", that beckons the viewers into a little Edenic garden! Take a moment and be still and smell the fragrance of the last summer flowers. Thank you so much for your beautiful videos. They are a breath of fresh air, so far away from the world that is so volatile with so much suffering. How glad I am to hear that you decided to come back to KZbin after a break. You have so much to contribute to this world and a gentle and sensitive soul like you has never been more needed in this world. I think that your videos are more like a visual essay, carefully considered and thoughtfully composed. Your intelligent commentary will strike a chord with many people on here who are tired of the same formulaic trends on KZbin. Because they are narrated with your own voice, it conveys the inherent character and charm of the narrator with immediacy, sincerity and authenticity. There is a soothing and introspective quality in your videos, which I think makes this channel enchanting and truly one of a kind. Wishing you all the best of luck with the new chapter of your life. May you find many wonderful surprises and miracles both large and small in store for you. With greetings from Scotland.

Love your cosy rustic garden and the soothing commentary. I live in a small flat as well with a small and your video has inspired me to make small changes to my place. Cheers from Australia.

Thank you so much! The great thing with a small space is they’re easy to play around with, try something and if it’s not working then it’s not too much hassle to try something else 😀 Good luck with your experimenting! 🙏🏻🙂

Having a garden in expensive London is a luxury that a lot of us cannot afford. In all the years since I left the family home, I have never managed to afford a flat that had a garden.

@duncan-carter 9 ай бұрын

Yeah I think I was lucky and it was also the first thing on my priority list so I didn’t mind taking a flat that needed a bit of work inside if it meant I got a garden. Took me a few years to slowly get everything the way i wanted though.
