![1 Year ALONE Restoring an Abandoned Smallholding [timelapse]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QfTlBepS0oI/mqdefault.jpg)
I could have watched Heidi's stepdad talk about his forest garden for an eternity, he's so passionate about it and it's so inspiring!
yes same! so cute and knowledgeable đ«¶đŒ
His passion for his garden is truly beautiful. You can tell he loves the process so muchâ€
Truly!! Iâm planning to take videos of his food forest throughout the years to capture its evolution and his takeaways, i think itâll be very magical to see đȘ
sameee!!! his voice was soothing as well
Literally they need their own showđ
If you ever decide you want to start a community like this I will join. Seriously I think there are lots of us who want this, want to contribute and have this simple type of love. I think it's more possible than we all think, we just have to start unlearning the systems we have been brought up to rely on and jump into something new. We need to believe in ourselves and community. Anyone else also want this so deeply? Thanks for this video
Yes!!! This goal is literally the one thing Iâm saving up for ! It would be so magical to have a physical space in nature I could share with everyone , extending our community beyond the digital realm!
Yes! This world is so enchanting iâm in
Im down for it, itâs sounds so nice to be in a community full of loving and caring people, always helping each other
i want this VERY DEEPLYYY. currently learning the skills now to contribute.
Yes me too, I'm seriously ready to leave my life as it is right now to live a more slow, gentle and natural life in community
to live in a tiny home next to tiny houses with a communal space sounds like heaven tbh i am so down
Iâm saving up as we speak đ° Iâm gonna find a place for all of us!!
Literally my dream life
Shout out to John for not evicting the wasps from the farm! It's quite refreshing to see that his love for nature extends to creatures that humans usually find off-putting. They'll likely be repaying his kindness by keeping some of the crop eating insects controlled :3
When John said that the reason for him doing all this work was fear I teared up a little, because I share this fear, not only in regard to our food systems but to an uncertain future in general. Seeing him turning that fear into motivation to create such a lovely place is really inspiring! Thank you for sharing this! :)
Same here! Today I felt a bit emotional (and grumpy) as soon as I woke up. Did my morning yoga practice and watched this while having breakfast and journaling. I started crying when John explained why he is doing all this work. His words resonated so much. Made me feel less alone. Understood in the cause of fighting and hoping for a more sustainable food system.
Thanks Leah for documenting and sharing all of this. While I'm liking my chapter in the busy urban Brussels, I've also been missing living in the community I was in before, where I was so close to different Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) initiatives. Your video was like a soft balm on this gloomy day soothing the nostalgia in me. â€
Watching this after receiving a rejection letter from my dream uni (Oxford). This video has made me realise that life is just as much about enjoying life and the lighter moments, and that I shouldn't pin so much self-worth/happiness on getting into an institution. Thank you, Leah, for helping to make me feel a little less heartbroken, and a little more hopeful about what the future has in store for meâ„
Aww Iâm sending u a big hug! I always remember that ârejection is protectionâ the universes way of saying thereâs something better for u! One of the guys who started the market farm actually graduated from there and decided to do this instead haha
â@@leahsfieldnotes Thank youuu for your kind words, it really means the world to me! Who knows, maybe a market farm really is the way to gođđ„°
Unfortunately to hear about your rejection. But it will be fine tho! You tried your best and you can try again next year. You are now where you need to be in life, no rush. Good luck!â€ïž
I would legit watch a whole documentary series about the forest garden narrated by John, it was so calming and interestingâșit was giving david attenborough
John is the calmest and sweetest farmer I ever did see, and he's so wise too he knows so much about farm care
This series has been one of my favourite things to watch, ever. I spent two months this summer working at a guesthouse in rural Croatia, doing a lot of the things that Heidi's stepdad talks about in the tour and it was the best thing I ever did. He is SO knowledgeable and passionate and it's so beautiful to watch. He reminds me of my dad in a lot of ways, and I found myself getting really emotional as he spoke about the berries shared with blackbirds and the composting system he's developed. Thank you for sharing this journey/part of your life with all of us < 3
this is random but how do i get a job like that? i just want to get away for a while and do manual labor
how do you get a job like that? I'd love to take a gap year and escape ahaha
@@frogiwthoutahat maybe try workaway !
Leah, I've been watching your videos for past 4 years and this must be my favorite one. The editing is beautiful and the content so soft, it made me feel at peace and I swear it even reduced my period cramps.
Awwwwwwww what a huge compliment! So glad it also helped w your period cramps haha make sure to only drink hot/warm beverages/foods esp on ur period! It helped reduce my cramps almost completely
@@leahsfieldnotes that's a good advice! I'll go and make myself some tea
iâm on my period too and i just noticed iâm not in pain anymore either :,)
A cup of hot spicy ginger tea and a Leah video literally makes my cramps go away 100% of the time. Tried and true
@@mysticmaidenmagic same omg :o
This is the life I truly yearn for,
friendship, love, being one with nature, farming, and animals. I hope someday when I'm a little older I will experience this life, right now I feel so scared to become an 'adult' đČđ·đżđđ±đ»đ
Iâm in a moment of my life where I canât afford slow living anymore. Iâm happy for you, enjoy this time!
THIS IS REAL INFLUENCE! I felt so alive after watching this video. Thank you, Leah, for showing us this side of the world. I am reminded that there are still kind and generous people. (and i lich rali cried like a baby when this video ended lol)
SENDING LOVE TO EVERYONE đđđđ
John's passion and thoughtfulness are so welcomed in such a difficult world.
John kinda sounds like Winnie the Pooh and Iâm here for it. Love seeing you thrive in the slow life surrounded by good people! đŻ
Watching Leah fall in love with loving in the countryside has been such a beautiful journey to be a part of â€
This is the John appreciation thread, amazing, wholesome, icon, absolute legend, gave me my serotonin for the day and motivation to do my gardening. We love John.
Heidi's stepdad needs his own episode! đ
i'm so ready to live in a neighboring tiny house to yours, with a lovely garden, and prancing around in nature!
Johns voice for my sounds for a soothing sleep play list đ„čđ„čđ„čđ„č
I dont even know how to describe it but i love your videos dearly. Everything is raw yet so lyrical and picturesque. Your videos feel like a cozy indie video game, and we're just following along in all the little side quests you're completing. :) the english countryside is especially beautiful to see, and heidi's family seem like such lovely people, love danna's appearance as well đđ
Awwww side quests is such a cute and accurate description! Thank u for joining me on them hehe
Tears just flushed in for me at the end. This is so so sweet Leah. Thank you for sharing such sweet moments with us.
â we have to produce food in a more sustainable way.â SO TRUE. this is so important for everyone to hear. just hearing John talk about this topic is hopefully planting a seed in everyoneâs heads :) no pun intended đ±đ
listening to hidie's step dad speak about the entire food sustainablitity is something i fear too, i wish more people were as mindful as him
10:24 Dexter arriving on the scene to thank Jon for all his efforts, so cute!
I love following her journey, it's been so fun and beautiful. It reminds me that I can take life in a lighter way
this is my home!! i'm so glad you enjoyed our coastline, and thank you for showing everyone how beautiful it is
The amount of growth and transformation I have seen is beautiful! While you were cooking I got a flash back of when you use to cook in Montreal and really realized this! Insanely happy for you and grateful for the lessons you have taught and the new knowledge you continue to share to us as youâre learning!
Really enjoyed this video, glad you have found somewhere (and some people) where you can feel slow, peaceful and connected. Thanks for sharing with us đ„°
Watching you adventure the world these past few months is helping me realize how there are so many beautiful ways to live your life, these are lessons I want to take on in the new year! Iâm so glad to see you having fun :)
I just want to say that I started to watch your videos almost 2 years ago now, and I always felt better and more inspired after each of them. I also begin to realize how important it is to appreciate little things in everyday life and be in connection to nature more. I love your videos and the direction you are going, so I hope you find great happiness in creating them and sharing them with us :))
I'm obsessed with this video. This is exactly the content I want to see, especially the dad talking about the garden! Thank you so much for sharing this with us Leah
Have a gorgeous winter Leah! Your videos always give me the motivation I need to make my life just a little better each day
I'm English and have been busy with life recently. Your videos make me appreciate the countryside and make me nostalgic. đ„ș My grandparents and I would always go on walks through the forests. It's nice to watch your videos when the day has been tiresome. Thanks so much! âïžđž
This series is like the best thing I've ever watched. I love everyone sm. I'm starting to tear up coz I'll miss this and hopefully we'll be able to see you there and everyone again in your vlogs soon.
Leah, this is by far my most favorite series on the internet and I honestly teared up while watching this video. Thank you for being such a wonderful person and sharing these experiences with us. Sending lots of love!
This video just made me feel so warm, I aspire to live a slow life like this one day with people to hold each other , thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moments with us leah, love you sm âšđ»â€
You remind me to slow down take a deep breath and let go of things. I feel much more content with life. I am so glad you exist đđ
Her videos are always so insightful. Thanks Leah for putting in so much effort in capturing the essence of this beautiful world. Wish someday I could live like this too.
I started working on an organic Farm this year which focuses on solidaric food sharing and farming, and it has changed my life and love for this world so much. Just the pure acceptance of the seed being planted into dark soil and us honoring its service by caring for its health and growth is so abundant. When i come home with arms full of veggies that i helped grow, my heart is ready to pour over from all the joy this wonderful world has to offer. So keep digging, get your hands dirty and your soul clean, share wisely with the birds and give compassionetly. Thank you for your ongoing light in this world, Love you, greetings from the German Countryside â„ïž
this video made me so happy I shed a few tears, and felt the serotonin in my body.. this kind of slow life and type of love, of returning to Nature is so inspiring and I'd love to do this in the future :) thank you for your warmth Leah
This is the most beautiful and calming vlog I have seen in a long long whileđ€.
couldn't watch a single video from this serie without crying, it's a blessing to witness these adventures, thx xx
You have lived through such a beautiful time in your life Leah! Donât be to sad, be happy you got to experience that! Adding amazing experiences to the long list of amazing things you will do when your older Xx I would love to see a video about your clothes there all so cool and give off grate vibes. Love your videos â€
This was try beautiful, thanks for bringing us along and letting us look into a world that I have always imagined for myself but never knew could exist in such a way!
ive been refreshing your page for weeks looking forward to a new video! I discovered you at a real low time in my life, when i was so overwhelmed with a feeling like i needed to keep up with everyones successes that i saw on social media etc. your videos have given me so much clarity. the sun on your face stroking a cat, laughing, crying, sharing knowledge, eating delicious food, contributing to our environment, swimming in lakes, appreciating where you are and being ok with feeling a little out out of your depths at times. thank you for sharing your life and real raw thoughts with us (your sleepover chats especially)! ill be eternally grateful xxxx ps im from the Scottish countryside, and this video gave me so much nostalgia and appreciation for where im from and the people i know. i could listen to Heidi's step father/anyone talk about things their passionate about, for hours.
Loving this raw vlogs, no loud music just pure nature and good vibes. Its a fresh breathe honestly
so nice to see you here in the UK enjoying it and hearing your view on the landscape etc. x
this is so gentle and beautiful and like a tender hug. i loved, love, will love this video + the vibes forever and ever leah
I always look forward to your videos like they capture such sweet and warm moments so beautifully. Rather than me being envious, I think your videos make me feel inspired and hopeful that I might be able to do these things in the future. Thank you Leah, keep going!
I really loved Heidi's stepdad talk. It was truly inspiring and as our food system is becoming more and more unstustainable, I think sharing this kind of content can help some people reviewing their food intake and the waste and recycling processes! Loved it, thanx for sharing đ€
This is so gorgeously made, the love is just radiating off of it
you are truly an angel on earth. one of the most sweet, gentle, pure, and precious beings iâve had the joy to discover. thank you for sharing your light and constantly bringing a smile to my face. i love you leah
thank you much so sharing leah!!! iâve been slowly coming out of my land of the lost feels (confused on my life path upon graduating college/realizing i have control of my life lol) and am now preparing for my own nomadic journey and i would love to see an updated video or segment on how ur capsule wardrobe has been working for you? you are truly love + wonder embodied
This is so healing, thank you⊠Sending lots of hugs â€
How inspiring! Thank you for sharing a bit of what you've learned on that trip with all of us! It seems like such a great experience. Also, watching this while it snows outside really makes me miss the sun! But I'll try to cherish the snowfall while we have it!

Thank you for sharing this collage of beautiful and pleasant countryside life. Heidi's stepdad has much wisdom and his thoughts are inspirational. Thanks for sharing that too :) May we all be more conscious of how our behavior and our consumption (though buying and eating) impact our environmentđ
