THE FIRST SNOW | christmas cottage diaries part i

[@stevenmetcalfe5152]

These vlogs of yours bring back so many memories of our walking and climbing days in the Peak and high moorland country of North Yorkshire. My wife and i are now retired in Catalunya Spain, where Snow comes sometimes, but never last more than a day or two. We so look forward to the content in your videos, you have a natural talent for bringing to our tv screens all the atmosphere of the great outdoors and cottage life. Keep up the good work, and don't ever loose that lovely smile of yours.

[@Croaghaun71]

Thank you for another lovely, warm and cozy video Athena. Thank you for wanting to share your holiday spirit so much so, that you put your other work aside. That's a beautiful gesture. I hope you won't get too overwhelmed trying to do everything that you need and want to do. Remember, to always take some time for yourself to be at peace...especially this time of year. Anything you put in a video is lovely, so, don't work too hard. I hope you, Harvey and Oslo (of course) are having a lovely holiday month so far. Blessings and light from the Adirondack Mountains (northern New York state - U.S.).🌲❄⛄

[@pattibee9754]

Lovely video as always. I especially enjoy your cottage diaries, beautiful bread and scenery. I would love to here more about how you ground yourself. I started grounding again this summer by going out in my backyard with my book,blanket and dog. I would lay on my blanket with my feet in the grass and read,what a wonderful feeling it gave me. Alas winter has arrived but have been walking In nature. Bee well and safe

[@zoejane7220]

I really enjoyed the cottage diaries aspect of this vlog. Stunning scenery and so beautifully filmed. I love the look of those baubles. I have also been rethinking about journaling, my thoughts.

[@Jim_Fredrickson]

Christmas baking sounds good, that bread looked amazing Also really like the independent business you've been sharing recently, inspired me to check a few out for gifts this year.

[@mikeroneniner]

Thank you for a really good watch for a Sunday evening . You really captured the anticipation and excitement we feel when snow is coming to the peak and you live close by . Standing at the platform in the city knowing you will be soon walking up to snow at ringing roger is one of my favourite ways to spend a winters day

[@after3011]

I loved this vlog! Christmas mood and snow = perfect combination

[@dessiediamond7414]

Perfect antidote to Covid quarantine. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@Slowerthanfast]

Lovely video as always Athena! Thanks so much for coming on the podcast, both Sam and I had a blast recording it with you!

[@seansgirl80]

Another beautiful video. I love the cosy vibe of your cottage, and the calm your videos bring. Wonderful music choices, many make it onto my music library immediately. I think you may be my favourite you tuber! Off to look at those baubles and those candles now too. Looking forward to your next video already, I always feel a bit sad when one is over, may have to go back and rewatch some of your older ones again!

[@adriankenward9371]

Thank you Athena, a lovely start to December. I doubt if I will get much snow on the south coast! I've written a journal/diary since 2012, after not being well. I find it centres and helps me enormously, especially writing with a fountain pen. It slows me down. A, x

[@sickedude4life]

thanks for sharing athena! :) loving the christmas vibes in there 🤍 i'm too looking forward to some time of letting this crazy year fade out.... all the best from the canary islands, just started to make my own videos again :)

[@barrywatler7482]

Looks so cold even Oslo thought so thank you for sharing love the scenery with the snow, I can remember as a child living in the UK the birds would break the foil on the milk bottle or the milk might be frozen to the doorstep, no such problems in a sub tropical climate, be safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@davidsanderson1891]

Hi athena and Harvey. Beautiful. Stunning scenery And lovely relaxing video. If you don't mind this Old fella will leave the cold and snow to the Younger ones now lol. But it looks nice Old dave.

[@angelas6412]

That was by far the most nicely decorated x-mas tree....and the bread, my gosh!!! Greetings from Athens...hardly any chance to see any snow here! Thanx for the lovely snowy views! X

[@erikamiller527]

Lovely video, Athena! Would love to see a video dedicated to festive baking and cooking!

[@adrianbrown01]

Another lovely video blog Athena, I really enjoyed watching this one. I have to admit I do like your choice in music with these blogs its just perfect. I do love your little cottage aswell it looks so quaint, warm and cosy 😊😊

[@michaelatkinson8291]

Hi mate. Lovely to see you two preparing for Xmas. Being with your loved ones at this time of year especially is precious & this brought some nice memories back for me. Look forward to your next festive offering - I've a feeling it's going to make me ....hungry ! xx

[@nickbenfell4327]

I watched this on a beautiful somewhat windy summers day. Christmas here marks summer, here being Pegasus New Zealand where we live in the side of a small lake a mile or so from the sea and a sandy beach. Such a contrast to your world. Love your videos they capture the simple good things in life like baking sourdough bread.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

A stunning video with beautiful music - thank you for sharing all this with us!

[@tahliabarnard8180]

Thank you Athena, a perfect balance of all that you do to warm the cockles of our hearts.

[@emmapancake2360]

Hi Athena, your videos are my absolute favourite thing to watch at the moment you really inspire me to get out there! A bit unrelated, but would love to see more of where you get your beautiful household interiors from! P.s can’t wait to receive your new book for Christmas! Hehe! X

[@theartofnaturegermany]

Wonderful vlog 💚 such an enchanting country 🥰❄️ Greetings from Bavaria, south Germany

[@domthewizard94]

Thanks for the inspiration! A time to keep warm hibernate and restore. Oh and get out in nature!!! Bless

[@ScotsMb]

Poured myself a coffee and just sat and relaxed whilst watching your vlog. Beautiful scenery and lovely music. Very relaxing, great job!

[@bennyswales8245]

Great video Athena some great scenery shots and looks like you and Oslo and Harvey really enjoying yourselves excellent work 100% Brilliant......all the best....Stewart

[@Melissa-iw8xo]

Always lovely...you hit these notes that are somehow so emotionally evocative. I savor them. Blessings from Oregon.

[@sarahk5724]

Ooh enjoy the snow, as long as it lasts! Such an inspirational warm up for Christmas. Love the pretty glass baubles on your Christmas tree.

[@johncausey8519]

Another great video/vlog. It never fails that whenever I watch your videos I am always calm & happy when they are over. You do a great job of pairing your music to the scene & setting. It was nice to hear Harvey narrating some in your last video. I hope you both have a great week. Merry Christmas!!

[@WoodsideWalker]

Beautiful film...loved the time-lapse of you decorating tree, Oslo bless him. Definitely one of my favourites so far...❤

[@paulp1276]

Been dipping into your channel for a while now, delightful films, beautifully filmed and very thoughtfully edited. I used to make films like yours for the BBC when lightweight camera/computer editing first reached broadcast quality so I know exactly how much work goes into each of your items, it’s hard work and in your case the way you weave the pictures and actuality sound and well chosen music is exceptional, always hugely enjoyable... many thanks.

[@RambleFamily]

Thank you so much!

[@OmarSher]

Very nice. Soundtracks were awsome.

[@kamk5496]

Lovely Christmasssy video 😊 Hope you all have a safe & lovely Christmas 🎄

[@jonhaile6458]

[@grahamambridge2856]

Beautiful as always. I'm just back from blencathra on Sat... Fun in the snow. Back I sheffield again. Did that path to Derwent edge after I saw it on your channel a while back....bit wet but fun. Take care. G

[@tinamcloughlin2710]

[@DJVOutdoors]

Your videos are so well put together so easy to watch.

Thanks ! Lovely vlog of preparations! love winter views and walking. Here in Scotland we woke up to snow thunder, and 2in. of snow cover. Grabbed my camera and dashed out the door !! Cheers

[@ChrisALindsay]

Love seeing clips of you being out in the snow! Great sourdough loaf too!

[@zoeforlife22]

[@joanhannah8062]

Great blog, loved the walks with your boys...the candles look great.x

[@HoneybunchofOnionTops]

The music when you were walking Oslo in the snow made me think of 'The Holiday' - so beautiful x

[@annavoytenko]

Nice filming! I love every minute. I'd love to see more nature close-ups as well as see you working, editing like in this video. Thank you!

[@rachaelmellor3737]

I love you my darling Athena and Ola and I are always here for you. She loved seeing Oslo again xx

[@clareb8015]

Your channel is so lovely and inspiring (your website is great too). I've hardly left Nottingham this year but having binged on your videos, plan to hop over the county border and resume my walking and exploring in 2021 all being well.

[@Chasethemorning]

beautiful video and feel. thankyou.

[@waisanchan5850]

[@julias.v.3847]

Transmitting such coziness as always

[@Dave64track]

Loving the Christmas Vlog I like going for walks in the snow so refreshing walking on unbroken snow. Watching your videos is so enjoyable especially at the weekend quite uplifting with what's going on in the world. If you're doing some festive cooking i shall looks forward to that, Stay safe.

[@04nelsoni]

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing!

[@ericamcniece5209]

Sooo happy to see this vid pop up in my feed..perfect for a Sunday eve!

[@joannaa1724]

Loved your sharing of 1st week of Dec. Looking forward to seeing your good morning habits.

[@clairereid6974]

Again, just "ohsocosy" thank you for always producing such beautiful vlogs (I relished this one with a cup of hot Cacao in bed, after a huge shift at work!) I too am a journal keeper and believe that it does so much good for the mind and soul 🕯☕️📒 I WANT THOSE BAUBLES! 😆❤️🐚

[@hlh68]

Lovely vlog, I absolutely love your pine cone tea light holder, I need one of those in my life. Looking forward to more Christmas vibes. Lovely Oslo too.

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Some familiar looking spots around Bolsterstone and Broomhead there....i love snow too....im hoping for a long winter

[@jsmith6974]

Another lovely video Athena. You've inspired me to finally get the Christmas tree up so I had to pause half-way through! That sour dough looked amazing....

[@sandychapman3772]

Hi Athena, beautiful inspiring video as always. Would love to hear more about your eco psychology course. Thanks so much Sandy xx

[@marvzpabillano6995]

A dose of Athena's cozy video plus a cup of coffee ☕yeah!

[@niepotrafiegwizdac]

I love your videos

[@sydneybaldwin3514]

So beautiful and calm. The snow didn’t stick in Matlock and I didn’t get chance to see it in the Peaks so living vicariously through you 😊

[@gdavew63]

We had our 1st snow on November 30th. Just enough to cover the ground and make things beautiful for a day or two. ❤️🎄❄️☃️❤️

[@janehutchinson9999]

Great scenery of Derbyshire, found the video very relaxing, great choice of music, bread looked amazing, really good of you to show the lovely candles. What were those pans you used for the bread please

[@christine3358]

Lovely! I really enjoy your videos so much. I’m relatively new to your channel and look forward to watching older ones in time.

[@karenschmidt6141]

Love this volg so much! I throughly enjoy watching your channel it’s absolutely fantastic 💚🌲🌿

[@smythkatie4264]

A perfect watch for my Sunday evening, loved every moment of this! Thank you, Athena. I'd be interested to see a video/videos about the ecopsychology course x

[@sabrina_alexa]

i'm always looking forward to your videos. Beautiful footage, lovely choice of music and super calming. Thank you for creating

[@debskeith]

Loving this series....look forward to the festive baking and cooking

[@danwright1692]

Another magical fifteen minutes. Thanks Athena (and that sourdough looks delicious!). Looking forward to more festive content.

[@carolinewick9496]

Oslo is such a good looking dog!!! Lovely colouring! Love your cold weather walks. You make it look so nice even though its freezing and muddy! If you go walking up a hill to see the sunset isn't it pitch black when you have to make your way down again? How do you do that then? Use a torch? Would love to know the logistics of that. Nice wintry video.

[@garykirkham2972]

Hello Athena, Harvey & Oslo. How can anyone not like your video's? That loaf you baked looks perfect for 'piping hot beans on toast' Thanks for sharing and all the best.

[@Taffwildmanofthewoods]

Athena, the Chrismassy elements of your video were brilliant 👍 It was a pleasure to watch have a good one atb Taff 🤠

[@janetturner7489]

Great vid. Buy a Christmas tree with roots so that you can plant it outside. Help save forests, as a member of Woodland Trust I would like to recommend that! Oslo is so cute🙂. Would like to know more about journaling. Take care 🌹🥀

[@RambleFamily]

Thank you, I think we will do this next year. I feel a bit bad for cutting the tree down but they do plant more trees for each they cut down (they are a Christmas tree farm) xx

[@janetturner7489]

@@RambleFamily Don't feel bad, Athena. Enjoy the festive season and what it's all about too with the birth of Jesus.

[@elenedwards5911]

Such a beautiful video as always

[@celiawhelan5616]

Hi, came across this video by chance whilst having coffee. How refreshing to find an interesting vlog by someone who seems so 'normal'. Is 'normal' good?! Well, what I mean is it's not over the top, gushing and with a very obvious eye to making money as many are. It seems more real. Not yet read your backstory but thanks for this one and will subscribe. Great scenery and Oslo looks such a lovely pooch. Take care x (from down by the Solent)

[@juliefatnes7155]

I loved this vlog! your videos are the best ❤️ have a nice holiday season!

[@BellaDiary]

Love this video Athena. So festive and so cosy. Can't believe how much snow you got! Those candles also looked gorgeous - I'm always on the look out for lovely smelling candles so I'll have to keep an eye out for those. And you've really perfected the art of bread making haven't you! Sending you loads of love as usual Athena. I completely agree with you about journaling. It helps so much doesn't it - getting everything out of your brain...

[@intothebookshelf]

I love your vlogs, they are so comforting :) I'd really love to know how you journal; do you use prompts? What kind of things do you write down; goals, ideas, plans? I always start but later on, if I read it back, I'm embarrassed about the things I write. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

[@JRLNeal]

Lovely video Athena, thanks for sharing. Can you explain your ‘grounding’ please?

[@walkinglosthistory]

Another lovely video as always.

[@estherbain]

This was so relaxing! Thank you Athena :)

[@ShroomAndMoss]

I looove this very cosy vlog :))

[@WithLoveMimi]

wow! just beautiful!!

[@PensionersinPortugal]

Hi Athena, thanks so much for another beautiful video. Oslo is beautiful, is he a Harrier Hound? We have Max, he is so similar in so many ways to Olso. Thank you again, very beautiful vid, I am now looking forward to Christmas 🎄.

[@RambleFamily]

Oslo is a Trailhound 😊

[@harveydavison8562]

I really like these relaxing cottage videos. Is Harvey making anything out of wood for xmas (ie reindeers, or snowman)?

[@harvey123go4]

Not this year unfortunately, but next year fingers crossed I will putting out some products!

[@missdontwantaname7900]

So happy I found this channel! Lovely videos x

Nothing quite like the magic of a landscape bathed in a blanket of fresh ermine snow studded with frost diamonds, it's Mother Nature's special gift.

Beautiful as always 💕
