ONE DAY Rural Life Without A Car, Renovating and Food Shopping | almost ASMR (Story 37)

[@deborahclatworthy3885]

I admire how much effort you put into making a beautiful life for yourself. Being an introvert, I can appreciate the peacefulness of your solitude.

[@jennycarrier]

same here thats why i whatch her..its calming

[@lindaroyal8161]

You are amazing! 7.5 miles to town on a bike, taking a shower at that low temperature, in the dark, alone in the woods, you are a brave soul. I admire your strength. This was a good " share your day" with us. TY.

[@violimo]

Ever think of having a shower in the warmest part of the day? You can buy portable collapsible baths in your kitchen near heat.

[@100Noddy]

Total respect for living without a car. Long term an electric bike with a trailer would be a good option, they can do up to 90 miles on a single charge, or simply add a cargo trailer to your existing bike. I would make the chimney flue a priority job for next summer and get that stove overhauled, back up and running with a hot water tank if that is possible.

[@soupedujour]

Not only do I admire your simple approach to solitary life, you are also a talented videographer. I never tire of what you share and I thank you for adding more pleasure in my life.

[@TheAtanyrate]

Every episode I find myself thinking, "This one is my favorite." I admire your courage to leave London behind and learn as you go with your DIY projects. I really enjoyed watching your grocery haul and you making the quiche. Thanks for sharing!

[@RosaLopez-zw2ff]

You truly have made a comfortable and peaceful home for yourself. Taking a ride into town for groceries during the cold winter days and nights made me think of how strong and brave you are living alone surrounded by such beauty.

[@RoseCottageColleen]

Watching from my rural upstate New York home in the mountains. Today it's snowing heavily here. I brought in 5 large loads of firewood for the woodstove, then put on a pot of soup. It's a good day for puttering. I admire women who live as I do, which is one of the many reasons I love your channel.

[@MSGaddicts]

Maybe consider bike trailer or shopping cart attachment for more items. It won't weigh down the bike as much as your panniers...

[@doobydooe]

Lovely day in the life Rosie! I'm also very interested in how you are adapting to the Swedish society. Are you learning Swedish? Do you feel at home? Or like the actual village life, doing groceries etc. Thanks for your soothing videos, as always 😊

[@thatsalt1560]

@@WyrdHag Hi! Teacher of Swedish history here. There are (almost) no villages in Sweden, correct. A series of agricultural reforms hundreds of years back in time split them up and created the rural landscape we have now, with houses far apart and fields and forest in between, but we did have villages once.

[@michellajensen7138]

@@thatsalt1560 so are grocery stores just located with fields around them and nothing else for miles? 😅

[@deborahoakey3560]

A year late but keep your seeds from the sunflowers, tomatoes, squash ...all of it😊

[@MsYingyang2]

You are by far my favorite on KZbin. I watch KZbin throughout the day and have seen quite a bit. I actually like it better than television.❤ Rosie, I think you are amazing. There is nothing wrong with conserving energy or money. I like the idea you have for lighting candles in the am with your coffee. It is cozy and economical. Who cares what some of the viewers are commenting on whether it is an e-bike, helmet, heat in the kitchen or shower indoors. It is your choice . Already you have inspired so many people to do more projects. Lastly, that quiche looked so delicious. It deserved the attention of a food stylist.🎄

[@birgittacarlson7537]

Hi.🌹 Have you asked if there is a store near you that delivers food?🥑 I get food delivered once a month and it's great. It requires planning, but I think it works well. Your quiche🍕 looked delicious. Take care, Birgitta💮

[@donquixote1502]

I just want to say that you are truly amazing. What you do is fantastic, I know because I'm a Building Engineer and I have built new Villas and renovated in total 11 different homes for my family. All the time I had a full time work. In the end it made me sick...

[@DLee-kz6qe]

Oh that went so fast .. as usual! Only you could elevate a Jackery ad to an art form. Do you know, in all the years I've watched YT and followed people, yours are the only ads I've ever watched right through.. and I admit I've gone back and rewatched just because of the delight it brings (i.e. the "bunny rabbit" jackery .. and the silk clothing). You put your artistic edge to it all and I hope more sponsors will see that and offer you wonderful things .. motorised push bike .. etc. Anyway, it's been another pleasure .. those measured movements and beautiful film and editing .. and have I ever mentioned the background music? .. all a delight for the soul. Thanks Rosie.

[@johndoran7223]

Im not keen on quiche but yours looks divine. You really can do anything can't you. You really have got it sown up . 😁😁😁😁

[@primrozie]

I love Ariel and how she expresses herself in so many ways. I've watched the nomad videos because if my husband dies before me it would be an alternative to financial difficulty. However, my children have since made plans for me to live with one of them. I like the tiny houses too! You have a very peaceful life and it's a joy to watch your videos.

[@carolbulmer8253]

Thank you, Rosie, for sharing your day. Your grocery shopping and your outdoor shower impressed me.

[@scu5871]

I watched several of your stories now, and this is my favorite! I enjoyed seeing how you interact with your living space and what a typical day looks like outside renovation work. Your home and the nature around it are LOVELY.

[@AE-hb6hr]

Love you life style💕🌸❤️

[@billiekennedy131]

I want to tell you I admire you. You are doing something I always wanted to do. Stay safe and God bless you.

[@elise6346]

Hi Rosie, great video as always. I rarely comment but I wanted to let you know how much I admire the thought and the heart you put into your renovations :) These shelves look great, if I were you I'd probably leave them as they are but I know you're going to keep working on them to make them turn out perfect and I can't wait to see the end result. Winter in Sweden must be tough, I hope you can find a way to make your kitchen warmer and maybe isolate it better as you seem to cook and spend a lot of time here, I'd be afraid the humidity would cause mold to the beautiful work you've put into it. Have a nice day !

[@Mymle]

It’s inspiring to see you work hard. I try to do things like that. I sometimes get lonely, that’s when I appreciate your weekly videos.

[@mtnshelby7059]

Ive been living rural and alone for decades. You make me look like an amateur. Well done.

[@pandrew3146]

Thank you for sharing your precious life with me. You are amazing and inspiring. All the best Rosie.

[@judithshc690]

It‘s so interesting to finally see how you cook or go grocery shopping and not only seeing how you renovate the cabbin but also show your life I hope you do more videos like this in the future😊

[@judyshort38]

Such courage and determination! And again, beautiful camera work! Thanks for sharing.

[@nicolarielly7679]

Thank you Rosie for yet another inspirational video - you really are an amazing women - oh and your quiche looks divine! Thank you for sharing your adventures in your little home. XXX

[@daphnehume9774]

Love what you are doing. You are simply amazing. When you get your heating working it will be so much better for you. Keep the good work up Rosie.

[@morganeriksson5842]

Most important i think is to take time fore our self. I do it every dag. Quit and calm situation, drink kaffe feeling nice, to take care of myself. It comes with the age fore most of us i belieave. 👍🎅☕☕

[@tinakohout5891]

Hallo dear friend. You could make your own oatmilk out of oats...which are light weight. Or find a lokal Farmer who can bring over 1 Sack of oat granes...if you have a blender and water....its as easy as that. Would make shopping a bit easier.... I like your videos. Have a gorgeous day

Maybe you could get a little trolley for your bike, so you could carry more home? Like big pack of certain foods and such.

[@wildrosie]

If anything I might get a little trailer one day, yes!

[@paulineyoung6079]

I would definately get a collapsible bathtub for inside in winter brrrr

[@RobbC.]

I like it when the KZbin algorithm gets it right and points me in the direction of cool people. And here I am, watching your channel for the 1st time and liking what I see. Thanks for letting us in to your life for the day. Time to binge the rest of your adventures. Be well :)

[@odulcina]

It’s quite a different life than the average and typical modern lifestyle that you have for sure. You have your struggles but some quiet peace as well it looks like to me and a kind of slow living lifestyle, which is appealing when we have a too busy life with deadlines, rush and stress. I love watching your videos and see the progress of your property. I realized that I should be more grateful for my shower and toilet inside the house! Ahah! :)

[@bettietuck8770]

You are most admired for following your dream. You are very skilled and talented...and BRAVE.

[@latte1020]

Love your videos and how hard to try even when things don’t go right you keep going! You need to look into a collapsible bath tub you can use inside when it’s just too cold to shower out there! They fold flat when not in use.

[@malveenbiddle1356]

I love your videos and admire your creativity and talent and calm approach in quite difficult circumstances. I sure hope you get the chimney fixed soon so that you can have log fires, and perhaps an inside shower. Your kitchen is lovely. Happy Christmas from a very cold UK.

[@ninasointu]

I am in an awe of how much effort a simple grocery shopping trip required.😯❤️ It takes us about 30 min to walk to the store but we can pull back a huge amount of food with a cart so an hour walk is easy peasy. Love your videos, thank you for making them!

[@wildrosie]

Ah, it’s not so bad, it’s just time consuming (and tiring!)

[@bettietuck8770]

You have to be the bravest soul on the planet. I love your videos and admire your energy and strength and most of all.......courage.

[@NurseyPooh59]

You really need a stockpile of dry goods and canned to store for winter snow days! 😮

[@100Noddy]

Smart thinking, it will lighten the regular shopping trip haul. Can be cheaper too.

[@kaatchef4598]

Hey, if you want to continue cooking in that corner. I would recommend protecting the wall and the wood, over time a lot of cooking grease and such will start sticking there. I have had the same problem as my house here in SE did not have a designated cooking space. Also, since you have those little heaters, I would suggest heating up the kitchen, all that moisture is going to cause mold (sadly know that from experience as well). Lovely video :)

[@lisam145]

The filming was great. The part were you set your camera up to see you ride home in the cold dark was so extra. I paused the video so I could make some coffee to drink with you. I hope your mom comes back it the spring or summer to hang out. Blessings,

[@an5210]

get a 18-28 gallon bucket to bathe in the house. they are rubber so you can put it outside and not break it but use easily for a small bath. we use this in mexico often for small/thin persons and kids.

[@graceaxisa4213]

Even the advertisement was beautiful! Effortlessly blended into the rest of your content, not jarring or disconnected at all. Such a beautiful video. Nothing good in life comes without effort and thought 🌼

[@annejohnson5580]

Thank you once again for sharing your life. I love the serenity but not the shower!!!

[@Nells-p5x]

I can’t believe how much you have done with your life. All the traveling and hiking, and now this house in Sweden 😊👏🏽 i wish i could go back in time because at 50yrs old i now know what i want😩🤦🏽‍♀️ and that’s to do exactly what you are doing right now! I have had enough of seeing people and would love to have time on my own away from everyone and fill my days like you do and do up a little cottage somewhere in the woods 😊 but i would need my dog as she is my world 🥰 you are always so contented and happy with the smallest things and you seem such a really really lovely person Rosie 🥰♥️ you are my favourite person to watch for SURE💯🥰♥️♥️♥️ xxx

[@jinglekringlemiller4058]

You definitely need a bigger bucket to keep inside the house for those extremely cold days - keeping life simpler, yet much more comfortable. Love your videos, thanks so much for sharing.

[@heatherfitzgerald329]

Merry Christmas 🌲🌲 from Australia I love your life ❤️

[@Woeschhuesli]

Thankyou for a closer look into your life and what you do! I wondered why you don't use the "normal" bicycle in your shed (with normal-sized wheels)?! It seems to me that the tiny bike would require more effort, maybe! My granny taught me that when making pastry, rub the butter into the flour very lightly with just your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs and only then add the wet ingredients, working the pastry only just as much as it needs, or it will go hard ;)

[@csooshy4302]

The quality of your life is peaceful and serene and it brings me a sense of calm in this world of ours where we seem to chase chaos all the time. Have you ever watched Martjin Doolard videos on his channel? He bought a house in the `Italian Alps and he is doing it up slowly just as you are doing with yours. You share the same quality of peace and calm. Thank you.

[@user-kev-k5v]

Yes I grew three tomato plants on my back garden, there’s nothing tastier than home grown I grew lettuce and beetroot to I also have raspberry plants as well as strawberry 👍

[@viktoriaberg8706]

That was a lovely video, thank you. Do you know Coop delivers groceries to the door for free if you order for more than 2000 SEK? (Nowadays that an easy reach... ) We do that once a month for all the bulky things that last longer than fresh produce. Might be worth it for you, particularly in winter. I wish I had a cottage just like yours, it´s my new dream. 😃

[@speteydog2260]

I bought my home at 42. 👍 😊 I love my home too. I’m in my 60s now.

[@janscorza7549]

You need a little bike trailer so you can carry more supplies and take more recycling back.

[@elizabethbrown7026]

You made my day. Very calming. I'm sick, I'm used to it now and am managing it well. But seeing you grow and be self sufficient is a highlight of my Sunday. Good for you girl. Keep showing the world peace and self.and I believe that you are going to survive the coming times ahead for us. My grandmother taught me that technology is always advancing and to stay abreast of it. I am considering documenting my life with Marginal Zone Lymphoma. I was diagnosed 12/2017. I have survived, and just celebrated my 60th bday. My daughter and grand daughter think I am hysterical, but funny. I love to teach others and was a RN. You inspire me Rosie. Thank you.

[@miamolin]

Nice that you share with us you'r daily basic things. I like too see from KZbin dailylife in the countryside. I moved to the countryside and my first STORY 1 is on KZbin. I have seen you'r journey in Sweden from the begining. Love you'r content. ❤️❤️🏡❤️❤️

[@dianestevens2659]

Maybe you could get a little trailer you pull behind the bike to make it easier, like the ones you can put a child in.

[@VivaLaViolette]

Ik denk dat de reparatie van de schoorsteen behoorlijk hoog zijn. Ik denk dat hier volgers zijn die jou best wel in willen steunen. Zie het als een winter kado voor Yule. Ik zie jou graag warm zitten met de houtkachel aan en koken op de houtkachel. Is dat misschien een idee?

[@Martipenny]

You can make your own oat milk. It’s just oats, water, & a sweetener. Strained through some cheese cloth. So much cheaper. Just started doing that because of the cost.

[@c.cotterill2287]

Thank you very much for sharing your day and for sharing big parts of your life in and around your cosy home. I admire your woodworking skills and how you have already transformed your home in the time you have been living there. Always looking forward to your new video. Lots of love from Germany.

[@kululv]

I just admire you using your outhouse despite having an indoor bathroom! And taking showers outside at freezing temperature! I also admire that you transport everything on your bike! I hope you get a sponsor for one of the electric bike. And you need a big trailer for it as well!

[@mpp-wh6ms]

I admire you gentle, honest way. I found living with out an automobile a singularly liberating way to live. Occasionally, I rented a car for weekend excursions, but lived in a small town without for several years. Circa 1984.

[@Naturallyjj0806]

Please take us along one time when you go into town to go grocery shopping. It is very interesting to see how you live and are able to do so much on your own. 16:39

[@annejohnson5580]

That was a very satisfying episode. I had a little chuckle about your towel rail because I made a hat stand with a much bigger branch. Did not even sand it; jut cleaned it and painted it white. A good conversation piece. Rosie, you really must tell your followers who takes the aerial shots!

[@jonap5740]

Isn't it her drone?

[@JEmmertz]

I've loved to see the progression from construction site to a home over this past year. A full on extrovert would probably have gone completely bonkers by now, but you have a location that allows you to "hear" your thoughts - I'm guessing that was a tad harder in London...

[@tissism]

Hey just a tip, you don’t need the whole tomato plant inside just cut the tomatoes off and they will ripen as well 👍

[@susanmary4752]

I loved this video Rosie. A day in the life. You are so inspiring. Quite the adjustment from London to where you are now. So close to nature. And being alone allows you to really get to know yourself. I always look froward to your posts.

You're welcome to watch my channel in the morning for relaxation 😀 it's very meditative to see draglines dig.

[@JimmyBoqvist]

A tip for your old windows is to use windowstripes (fönsterremsor) and windowwadding (fönstervadd) often found at ICA! 🙏❤💪

[@skyval6359]

Are those a type of window plastic ?

[@JimmyBoqvist]

@@skyval6359 It's wadding for putting in between the windows to deal with condensation, and paper stripes (like thin stripes of white pre glued wallpaper) to seal the gaps on the inside of the Inner window.

[@morganeriksson5842]

Extra socks i use also and closing one room no heating there 👍🎅☕

[@cw3728]

18 years in London! No wonder you left the country, I got a job in London and only lasted 5 days. I’m pretty sure you would be a good driver, perhaps do one of the crash courses where you have lessons all week with your test ate end. Would be nice to see you buy an old 1 owner Volvo.

Wow , Rosie , this video was so nice to have this morning and just perfect for my life at this moment . I love the kitchen door shot at 28:53 .... it looks like a beautiful traditional house and you made it that way all by yourself , yay !!! The quiche was heavenly . I wonder if they sell plastic window film in Sweden , it's such a cozier life with that on the windows in old houses . It's the only way I've lived in the far north even though I hate the idea of having plastic but it changes my outlook soooo much and once you shrink it with a hairdryer , it's truly invisible and no one can even tell it's there . Thank you for a cheerful way to start Sunday morning .I've got giant pileated woodpeckers at my feeder outside the kitchen window and they also help cheer me up in this frozen wilderness , so , thank you both !!!🤩❤ P.S. It would be fun to see a town video when you go for groceries . Also , what type of wood is your kitchen countertop ?

[@zigryignacio4343]

Love your videos! I was thinking about how hard it must be for you to take showers in the outside during winter. Maybe you can get a small collapsible or baby/ dog swimming pool ( like they do in some diy van campers) and use that with your bucket inside. The water you can use for your plants.

You could make your own oat milk by buying oat it is cheaper and you won't need to get some in the shops

[@Tahonamaya]

I love watching your videos, they're so calming. You can buy ebike conversion kits, which would allow you to turn your current bike into an electric bike - might be an option in the future to make it easier to get into town?

Your work up quite an appetite with the energy you expend in a day’s work. The quiche looked nutritious and delicious. Wishing you well.
