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 :)

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.

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.
