It's great to have a garden. For many in our modern societies it is a luxury it will take many, many years to afford. Bless you and your dad, he was entirely right 🙏🙏🙏

"The less I need, the happier I am." Oh, this is me too. It's a wonderful way to live.

the little fairy is now walking. she'll be flying soon. lovely to see the care she is getting. if every child in the world started out like this what a world of happy people we would have.

When you start darning a sock or sweater, start by stitching a ring around the hole, go around a few times to make is sturdy. Then start the weaving back and forth. You'll find the darned part of the sock will be stronger than the rest of the sock. Thank you for your videos and the gentle wisdom you share. Blessings to you all!

Dear Niamh, Today is the day that I just want to leave this comment to tell you that you are such a beautiful soul and such an inspiration. It’s fantastic to watch your videos again after your well-deserved break and to see that all is well for you and your family. Back in 2019 one of your videos inspired me to move to the countryside, even though it took 2 years until this dream came true for me. I’ve been feeling at peace ever since and I incorporate so much of your wisdom into my daily life. You were even one of the reasons I decided to start my own KZread channel vlogging about my cottagecore lifestyle. Thank you so much for sharing your fairyland life with us and all the best to you ❤

What a wonderful thing having you back with us , along with the Little Fairy. 💕💕💕 Your thoughts still ring true, more than ever. Love from Massachusetts.

What a beautiful childhood your Fairy is having. Your voice is so lyrical and calming, I could almost drift to sleep while watching. So glad you are back.

You made me think back, the time my boys were baby and toddler. The best years of my life! I got ill when they were 4½ and 2½, now they are 19 and 17. I am still here, but battling the late effects of chemo and radiation. We made some changes recently, selling our house in the city and moving to a village, close to a forest (not natural but still a forest) and closer to dunes and Northsea. I'm so happy that you are back, you help me to stay calm and accept that I don't have much energy left after moving. Back to crochet, knit, and sew this winter❣️

I recently moved to a smaller house and downsized in the process. And I just want to encourage you that moving is exhausting, leaving me tired and a little confused for awhile. I am told that this is natural, especially after living for a time in the previous home. I Pray your energy returns as you rest and drink in the peace and calm of your little forest and feed your spirit good memories of your boys. Accept what is, and be stronger soon - -

November is truly a time to slow down as the weather turns chilly & the nights are long. A fire in the wood stove & a bowl of soup & home made bread warms the feet & the heart.

My children have grown & when you’re in the stage of them being pre school it at times can feel sometimes like you’re missing out or so repetitive. Once my kids entered school life literally raced away with business and I could hardly catch my breath. Cherish this time as I tell this to women I see with little ones. It’s such a GIFT to be blessed with a child. God Bless you, I love your videos ❤

Thank you so much Cindy! Lovely to see you here too ❤

First, I laughed a lot seeing the little fairy “eat” her porridge, although it is a mess it is so good letting them feel and taste what they are eating. Second, many years ago I decided to live a very simple life, and I am really happy being able to not letting me overwhelm by the pace of society, especially now in this season. Christmas nowadays is all about consuming, and I literally avoid doing any shopping regarding Christmas. For me this season is to be with my family, hugging and embracing them since my parents are very old. Presence, listening and love are the greatest gifts we can give our family, especially if our parents are old and also our children. I remember my son when he was little he had the best time being with me in the kitchen while he opened the cupboards, taking out all the pots and pans, he was just happy being with me and letting him play with the pots. Thanks for sharing and enjoy this time with your fairy because time really flies, my son is already 21 and time just flew away. Greetings from an also rainy Portugal.

Thank you for this video. I so needed to watch it this evening, here in Philadelphia. My fairies are long past the stage of toddling about & having me bathe them after our day of adventures.

All the best. ✨✨✨🌀

So nice to have you back. So calming.

Footage from a walk in the forest really looks like Fairyland. This video is incredible. Thanks for sharing it with us!

My grandpa was a fixer too. He could make, build and fix anything. I had forgotten about that. ❤️

My Grandmother darned our socks. I wore socks that she had darned for years after she passed away. It's so nice to see that you are reviving this lost art. You didn't show a lot of your technique, but it looks like you got the basics right. My Grandmother used a smooth, wooden, bulb-shaped tool when she mended our socks. Your orange worked very well too I see. :D

I tried the hand cleaning method you use on your little fairy on my 9 month old today. He thought I was giving him a giant drink at first, it was hilarious! But he got the hang of it very quickly! What a brilliant idea- thank you!

Just watching your video gave me a feeling of peace if only for a little bit. Your wee fairy is walking well & is so sweet & precious!! She is so lucky to have you & Terry to teach her your wise ways!! This world is definitely a disposable world. It is easier to throw something away than mend or fix it & reuse it.
