      In recent years, especially during the pandemic many friends started moving away from the city living to rural areas, due of course to high rents etc, but they realised how nature impacted on their lives, gaining peace, gaining time, gaining independence, less stress, videos like yours are an inspiration for many people to take the leap of faith and follow their dreams, keep safe as per

    Anyone who hasn't read A Cottage and Three Acres, please do so. It is inspirational.
    We had already begun in a similar, but slower moving project here when I discovered Colette's channel and, curious as to how Bealtane Cottage came about, I ordered the book. We have all read it, even my 8 year old grandchild is now half way through it. It gave us the push we needed to keep going and continues to support and encourages us. Our copy is a little dog dared now, the mark of a loved and constantly re-read book.
    Start, plant and let nature do what it wishes to do - to go back to offering beautiful, peaceful and truly natural surroundings to all creature and plants.

    • @bealtainecottage
      @bealtainecottage  Před 2 měsíci +3

    Dear Colette, I dont think you truly realise what an inspiration you are. I have followed your channel for many years and learned so much from you, which I am trying now to apply in my own small garden. I admire the way you have totally transformed your cottage and three acres into the beautiful space and haven for so many things it has become. You have taught us how to work with nature with love and empathy and our hearts. It has been a true delight to follow you all these years. Blessings of the Goddess to you. Much Love Deb X

    I never tire of hearing/reading (and seeing!) that story...and it's nice for the newer members to the channel to hear it. Of course the combination of continued growth at Bealtaine plus your newer gear and honed cinematographic skills make each re-reading with videos better and better every time. I'm guessing it's also reenergizing for you yourself to reread and relive your own story. For those who don't yet have any of your books, A Cottage on Three Acres is a fantastic start!
    ....and as you reread this I'm seeing your mom and Jack and Sammy Bear all with you there along with visiting ancestors and their friends in amongst the trees and shrubs and woodland. As it should be!❤️

    Hi Colette , I was lucky enough to receive your book ... A cottage and 3 acres a couple of year's ago as a birthday gift and have read & re- read it from cover to cover many times and thoroughly enjoyed it and hearing about your move ti Ireland .
    It's been one hell of a journey for you . Hard back breaking work I'm sure for nearly 20 year's but the reward for all your time and effort is beyond words . The magic that you have created and the enormous joy that you bring sharing your little cottage and 3 acres with us all is much appreciated . Thankyou for creating this wonderful garden so that we get to share it with you .
    Colette you have turned a house into a home which is beautiful in itself but your garden is a little piece of heaven . A healing sanctuary for us all .
    Many blessings to you and patsy ❤❤❤
    Here's to another 20 year's with you .xx

    I recently made a move from the hustle and bustle of a city career to a small home in a rural country hamlet. Although the energies of the Canadian Prairies are vastly different from those of Ireland, I can certainly relate to the sense of healing and tranquility rural living offers, a world away from corporate dependencies. You and Bealtaine Cottage provided me with much of the strength and vision I needed to get to this place. Thank you and congratulations on 20 years of inspiration for so many of us!

    To say it is all but mind-boggling what you have created starting from absolute nothing. Would be an understatement. Had I personally ever lived in one location more than 3 years at a time, I wonder if it would have been possible for me to accomplish it? Or, does my imagination and determination even remotely stand along for such an adventure. I am beyond amazed at your world. I thoroughly enjoyed your first chapter. Thank you.

    I loved hearing you tell your story. I found it cathartic, almost like I lived it too. When you know you need out of a situation, that you will find a way of making the dream a reality. It makes wan appreciate everything because you pour your heart and soul into the land and home. I love how you work with nature and respect mother nature. I used to live in a cottage for 13 years and I use to sense the previous owners. 2 brothers and a sister. I could sense the sister the most and sometimes one of the brothers. I remember when I'd be on my own that I would say to the sister, Daisy is it ok if I make myself a cup of tea. Almost like it was still their home. I definitely had a strong psychic connection when I was younger.
    I think what you are doing is incredible and inspiring ❤

My local woods have been closed to the public which was enjoyed by many, as they are with the pine forests in Wales, now just a wasteland

    What a beautiful story and transformation, Colette. I hope that I can find my copy of A Cottage and Three Acres, to revisit your story. I made a move over 3 years ago, now. A hard and difficult move, But I have a home albeit small by your measure. The move, new environment and my home have grown on me now. And I am now after a long hibernation … ready to take it on. And to create an oasis. 🙏💚 You are such a blessed inspiration. The way you live. The story you tell thru Bealtaine. I have watched you for a long time now.
    I love the blue (oil) lamp in your opening scene … such a beautiful color. And, might I ask - what is the name of the tall wispy, flower (lavender color) that envelops your charming wooden bench? Where the plump bumble bee seeks the nectar? I must plant the same around my back garden bench.
    Bealtaine … sigh 🙇‍♀️ has transformed into such a lovely home and garden. The little (perfect shade of blue) cottage for you and your dear little Patsy.🙏💙💜🌙
    Might I say: remembering your dear sweet Jack, today. He was such a dear boy.

    Turning a piece of lackluster land into a beautiful landscape is something many people could not get a grip on. This is proof that if anyone wants something of this magnitude one will need to work hard at making it work.

    What a beautiful story! It makes be so proud and appreciative of my little woodland backyard garden. It was 22 years ago that I turned what was a big mud puddle that was too shady for grass into the beginning of what is now a woodland garden that is so peaceful and filled with plants, birds and creatures. Instead of looking at it with a critical eye and seeing what needs to be done, your video has given me pause to celebrate the transformation that has occurred slowly over many years. Thank you for inspiring gratitude in me today.

    Speaking of the metaphysical, while watching your video as you walk through the woods, feels as though I have traveled back in time into an ancient woodland, which is magical. Thank you ever so much for sharing your garden.❤

    How are you doing mrs Colette. Iam Arabic lady subscriber to several British and American CZcams channels. I sent comments from very long time . Iam so sorry to be subscriber in your channel you are creative , inspiring lady . As I read about your profile you are writer , photographer, teacher. You devoted past 18 years to turning three acres of derelict land into woodland sanctuary for all life , planting over 1 , 000 trees in process . Bealtaine means irish Celtic annual festivals with Samhain, imbolc , lughnasen . It’s signifies return to light . Widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man , while May Day celebration occurr throughout Europe. Lighting fire on hill as one of oldest traditions in Ireland. Festival included activities such as sporting competitions , poetry , singing, driving cattle between two bonfires to bless them as they were moved to their summer pastures. I am so sorry to be little long but reading and writing both are great ways to improve our English as none native speakers. I hope you become friends , learn a lot from your knowledge. Your name is French origin means people pf victory . My name is khatoon it’s Turkish origin means Nobel lady as princess. Best wishes for you your dearest ones .
