Slow Living in the English Countryside

[@RubyGranger8]

Thank you so much for all of your kind words about this video. It's rather different from the kind of thing I usually do (and not all of my videos will be like this!) but I just wanted to try something new. I tried to take last week (the first week of the Easter Holidays) really slowly as a way to reset from the academic year and reflect on things. My whole week was definitely not like this, but I wanted to share some of the more beautiful moments with you and create something which is hopefully nice to watch -- since I love watching videos like this myself :)

I am 17 and I have been struggling with depression, there are days I just want to sleep and never wake up but when I watch your videos , you motivate me, to at least get out of bed and try do something for myself.

You know while many people may think that Ruby has the best life and they may want her life because it’s so good and happy. I think it’s more the fact that Ruby just finds goodness in everything and enjoys the little things in life, that’s literally what I love about Ruby. Also, Ruby your Channel is so pleasing and calming to watch. It makes me feel so peaceful when I watch your videos, so this is like a thank you because it’s really hard to be feel so peaceful, now when we have got so much work to do and we’re just busy all the time, and it just helps me relax and let go of all my heavy burdens, worries and stresses. Your videos are just so amazing, it’s like when I see the wind blowing your hair back and your nose red it’s almost as if I can feel that same cold wind, this channel brings me soo much tranquility 💕 and also let’s not forget, this channel helps us all to feel so motivated. I love watching your videos but when I hear “thank you for watching” my heart slightly sinks because I just love your videos and they are so comforting I really just don’t want them to end. Sorry for the essay but I just needed to comment this.

Even if the time we're living in is stressful and overwhelming, we should consider it as an opportunity to slow down, enjoy every little thing in life and be grateful, that's what this video made me think of. It also makes me want to live in the countryside...

[@apollomuses2237]

As someone who lives in a poorer area of large city also in England, it'd always slightly jarring to see how life can be and know that its not even that far away. I've always dreamt of this way of life, the slow pace and the beauty of nature is something I seek out in any way I can but its always lacking as green spaces in cities often are. I hope that I'll be able to get out and away to somewhere more soon. As always, your videos are so soothing and calming for someone like me who is filled with worry so thank you for brightening my day 😊

[@gem894]

The intro is SO aesthetically pleasing and amazingly enjoyable to watch. I feel like I'm watching a film at the cinema 💕

[@Samantha0311]

From someone who love the country side but lives in a city it's really beautiful to watch your videos because it makes me love nature all the more. Any chance I get I admire the birds in my area, and since I mostly get crows here I feed them all the time and I know a few now. I love the gardening part of the video because I have started too and I love my plants like no other (Im fortunate to have a terrace so my plants are all there). When ever I go for walks (with a mask and all safe) I try to listen to the birds and enjoy being around them so much so I always look up and watch to catch a glimpse and end up falling.
