I think the problem with winter isn‘t actually the winter itself but the dark. We tend to work 9 to five jobs so we leave the house when it is dark and return when it is dark. After a day of working we feel like the day just slipped through our hands, and on top of it all it is cold. And it can end up feeling like we just live a monotone routine that consists of our duties but no time of enjoying life.

[@Yesica1993]

THIS. I can handle the cold. I cannot handle the darkness. Right now I'm working from home. But when I was out in the world, I'd get up in the dark and come home in the dark. I'd go outside at lunch for as long as I could physically stand it. But even that was, at the very most, an hour. Less than that if I wanted to actually eat and it was too cold to eat outside.

You might try turning on all the lights in the house, that helps me a bit.

[@valeriadentis1630]

Yes! You are right! I always loved winter, and could not understand how the adults in my life could not, until I started working. The first winter with a 8-5 was quite difficult, but this year I tried to fall in love with the darkness: I think it worked, and next year (for now winter is almost over) I'm sure I will enjoy it to the fullest once again as I did as a child c:

[@HighlandManga]

Hit the nail on the head

[@lydiaxmaria]

As a person in a 9-5 job with no flexibility it’s hard to get any daylight in all those months, I guess this is the main reason why this time is so rough for me

[@kaylynkennedy7070]

This might sound weird, but one thing I like about winter (as a Canadian) is that there's something about it that makes everything feel more wilderness-like, I guess in part it's the harshness and solitude, but it's something I can't really explain. When you go hiking in the winter everything's more quiet and hushed. You'll rarely see other people and when it snows or fog comes in it feels like everything is closer, and you're in your own place far away from civilization (even if you're not). In summer sometimes it feel like the world goes on forever with how big and blue the sky is and how bright the sun can be and all the sprawling green fields (which can be nice too). But, in the winter the clouds are low and grey, the pine trees all cluster together to shelter you from the world, and when the sun does come out it's gold and mellow like a gentle hello.

It is the sound of the snow as you walk, and the stillness in the air. The beauty of a fantasy world that it creates.

[@cunninglilcutie]

I think winter can be hard to appreciate because in a lot of ways it just feels like a waiting period for the warmer months, but actually the waiting can be beautiful too

[@ЕкатеринаКобзева-м5н]

Absolutely. It's about waiting for summer (as for me, I'm already tired of winter). But in fact, when it is winter we often wait for summer and vice versa. Unfortunately, our life is about expectation of something we don't have at the moment.

[@mochiipocky]

Here in the middle east, we don't really have any effects of spring or autumn... The weather is extremely hot all year long except for winter. So for me.. it's harder to appreciate summer🤍

[@thenoobalmighty8790]

Its not waiting at all. Its cool , nice and fresh. It cleans away all the rubbish and brings a fresh start. And maybe you get some cool snow

[@mavka8987]

I just wanted to say thank you, becouse the vibe of your videos is unlike anyone elses', and it truly always gives me a sense of calm and brings a little peacefulness in my otherwise hectic life. They also have a rare quality of being intellectual without sounding pretentious. You seem like such a genuine and kind person, it's a treat to get to see the world through your eyes.

[@mavka8987]

As for apples, in Poland we have an early kind that is light yellow and ready to pick in July-August, called 'papierówka', and other than that... Golden Delicious :D

[@livelikeliz]

What I love about the late winter months such as February and March is that feeling of hope it gives me. It's not spring yet, but I know, spring is coming. It's not here yet, but we can already allow ourselves to dream of warmer days. There are no green leaves yet, but there are tiny buds on the trees if you take the time to look closely. It's this feeling of "not yet, but soon" that truly excites me about this time - knowing that the best is yet to come. 🌿🌷🌼

[@bethanyyuan]

It's really interesting how people from different parts of the world view each season. Because of where I'm from, I've always loved winter over summer because the temperature gets lower and is much more comfortable for me. I did a year abroad in Durham, and lived through the "cold and dark months" I had only read about in books. To me, that was a period of excitement because I woke up to snow outside of the window for the first time in my life, saw frost when I went on walks and felt the festive mood of Christmas. But most importantly, I have also learnt to appreciate the beauty of summer more hearing the reasons why people prefer warmer months. At the end of the day, each moment has its own beauty for us to cherish and appreciate I guess.

[@Luumus]

I really relate with what you are saying. I'm from Portugal with relatively mild winters, and certainly no snow unless you are higher up. So when I moved to central Europe winter became one of my favourite times of the year, because the snow is very special to me. The warmer Portuguese winter now feels like a sham.

[@icysingh6398]

Winter is like waiting room for big trees to start blooming, it's beautiful to see flowering just after the end of frost days. It's a fascinating transition between months of long moonlight nights and long sunrise days.✨️

Winter is my favourite season! It's the season of rest, cosiness, hibernation, renewal. Storing up our energy for the spring, just like the seeds in the ground. Also I am one of those rare people who just love snow. It's pure magic to me.

[@amandadelaney4789]

I couldn't agree more!

[@Nate1975]

I love winter. The time to rest, be cosy, read, reflect and of course, snow, frost, bareness and sleepiness of it all and the sky - oh the sky colours that only ever can be witnessed in winter. There is so much beauty in winter and the dark nights with the silver moon. I can not bare the long light days of summer, which are never ending and unbearable if there’s heat in the mix. This culture of ‘waiting’ for Friday, weekend, sunshine, end of winter is one sure way to let the life pass you by

Gala apples are, hands down, the BEST. Crisp, bright, sweetly sour. Just perfect.

And you are so right about finding beauty in nature during winter. I also love the coziness of winter. Big bulky sweaters and scarves. We have a woodstove so coming in from the cold to a wood fire is so welcoming.

[@RoundSeal]

I love winter for being a liminal time, kind of like a held-in breath; connecting the memories and preparation of autumn to the potentials of spring. Allowing ourselves to appreciate winter as a period of rest is healthy, especially for creative people. To stop looking back, or thinking forward, and just focus ourselves on the Now. I think that's why I like the cold so much, too - it can force you to be present in your body and surroundings, and that can open doors you might not have realized were even shut. 💙

[@RockDove5212]

Rather than a 'held in breath' I always think of it as sleeping with a totally relaxed and deeply peaceful breathing .

[@lifegoes_on_love]

I realize moments like this during Christmas evening, in Germany, we celebrate this in the evening. If we are lucky we have some snow outside. It is often already dark outside though I feel the calmest during this time. It is like "Oh yeah it is rightful for me to be on a slow mode". It is a comfortable feeling for me to sit in a warm sweatshirt or blanket, and eat food that is warm. But I personally prefer being in the mountains with snow and a lot of Fogg. Often at my place it just gets rainy and really cold so this is not so comfortable.

[@Nushin_ItUp]

The first weeks/months can be difficult but there is one point when everything just clicks and it is so rewarding.

In December we light up the dark with Christmas lights and colourful decorations which makes the dark seem warm and bright and friendly, it's why I often struggle when you come to January and February because the bright welcoming rainbow is gone and it makes the months look even darker and duller then they are

[@cullodenmermaid]

The goodness of an apple, I think, depends a lot on when it’s picked, how ripe it is. I understood that Europe has different apples than the USA but I know all the ones you mentioned. I can usually depend on Golden Delicious tasting good. Once I bought one of each apple variety at the grocery to determine the best- at that time. Opal was one of the best ones. I often take the weather/earth for granted, less so now I live in the country. But I ALWAYS appreciate it on holiday in Hawaii. The air, it’s fragrance & humidity wafting at you in gentle warm breezes amongst lush tropical flora is absolutely lovely. (I hope you go someday (and make a travelogue ☺️). Cheers.

Thank you for sharing your perspektive. I usually love winter till the end of january. My birthday is on the 23rd and it is one of the highlights of the month and winter, but afterwards I tend to fall in a hole, because the cold and darkness just gets to much. I felt better this week though, because I saw the first snowdrops on my way home. I would also like to tell you that my cat enjoyed the video as well. I was watching it in the morning, with my cat in the bed. I always show him what video I am watching, so he knows where the sound comes from and what I am doing. He normally doesn't give my phone more than a quick look. This time though, when I placed my phone on the mattress, he stretched out his paw and dragged it across the sheets, so it was in front of him. Then he watched the entire video with me. I think he especially enjoyed the beautiful landscapes. He fell asleep afterwards.

The colours and scenes in this video are so lovely! I think I would prefer Winter in the UK, where I would not have to wait months between glimpses of grass (oh, how I pine for the sight of grass in the Winter!) and could see wonderful textures and colours underneath the frost. However, there are times when I do find even our snow-covered Canadian winters charming; I feel happy when bright sunshine glints off icicles, on overcast days with wet snow pillowing everything, as the quiet makes everything feel immediate and infinite at the same time, getting cozy after chores in front of the fire, and feeling tied to the long tradition of a ‘slower’ life during the Winter months (even if my modern responsibilities often encroach on this). I suppose even the parts of Winter that I do not find pleasant can often be looked back on as challenges overcome. Thanks for reminding me to reflect on and appreciate a season I sometimes try my best to ignore

You have got it sooo right about the cold. There was an evening quite early in January where I was meeting a friend for dinner at a pub, and I was like 15 mins early. There was a towpath nearby and I just walked down it for a bit to explore, with this cold wind battering me in the face with icy droplets of rain. I felt so in aware of my own existence and of the world around me in that 15 minutes. It gave me a real hankering to be up a mountain, or on a long, cold walk. I'm definitely trying to give myself slack this winter. I have been engaging in cosy hobbies, like knitting and birdwatching (while bundled up of course.) Going to bed early is another great help. We are such seasonal creatures historically and it is a crime that capitalism has pushed us into being always on (despite what boons it has granted us.) I think the only possible pushback is the active choice to live slowly and appreciate. Appreciate the cold, and how it makes the warmth more delicious. Living slowly is an active protest, imo.

If I say that to some people they look at me as though I'm the strangest person, it used to bother me when I was younger but I don't really care so much anymore, I like what I like. I don't mind spring but I find the summer bright and hot and everyone wants to cram as much as possible into the long days, I find it very overwhelming

Maybe the problem is what you mentioned, that we feel the need to slow down but our daily jobs/responsabilties doesn't allow us to do so. This can be very frustrating. This year I'm trying to be more concious of nature around me and I start walking to school instead of cycling. I loved the change, now I have really seen the very precise moment the first flowers had started to rise and I felt in my shoulders the weight of the first snow of the year. It has also given me a space during the day to be away from stimulations. Just me, the world and my thoughts ❄💙

Yeah Ruby doesn’t seem to realise that most people have jobs and responsibilities which take up most of the daylight.

Hello Ruby! I'd like to thank you for this video I'm one of the first watching. It's all about inspiration and peace and no stress. It made me a little calmer by the end of the busy day)

I enjoyed this video so so so much ! I live in the Caribbean so we never have winter but it was so calming to imagine.

Loved the video, as always! Winter here is not until june and it's usually quite warm in comparison to those in England, so I'd say it's less depressing. But I'd love to experience a truly cold winter!

a cold winter is a nice experience, but it can be very uncomfortable. I live in Finland where it gets really cold and we get a ton of snow. I'm really sensitive to cold, so whenever I go outside I have to always wear a heavy coat with padded pants. and it can also get extremely slippery. I haven't fallen this year yet (* knock on wood *), but I've had several close calls. but if I do fall, the padded pants soften the landing. you also have to know how to fall. many people (especially the elderly) break their wrists when they fall.

Thank you Ruby for this video I always look forward to them! :) you are a truly inspiring person 🤍

Perhaps the intensity of the cold makes time stop- enabling us to feel more. Breathing to live is more of a necessity. An inward pause, caught in the frost. There is a beauty and wonder to this.

[@RubyGranger8]

I think you might be right

[@RubyGranger8]

You have to focus on the immediacy of being alive, as opposed to getting carried away by something (un)important
