I love to swim, so I spend a lot of summer by the pool. It's wonderful! When it's 90, I can still go on walks. It's hot, but bearable. Once it gets into triple digits is really when it feels like you're ensuring 😂. Especially since we have a humid heat here vs a dry heat. Dry heat feels totally different. When you're in the shade with a nice breeze you can handle it. But a humid heat just feels suffocating. Like the air is made out of pea soup 😂. But again that's more in the triple digits. Low 90's is hot, but bearable.

You also need to watch ur own diet - my vit D was down to only 11% and only picked up in routine bloods last year. They have no idea why it may be a family trait but I'm now on the right supplements

You are so talented, your cinematography, and the drone footage you have is truly some of the best I have seen on the internet! You have such an artistic and creative way of showing us stories of your home and life. My husband really likes to see what Christopher is up to as well. They are very much alike, my husband is always repairing something or tinkering with some project and he enjoys boating and cooking as well. We live in Savannah Georgia USA. Our lives are very different, yet when I watch your videos I feel as if you are both kindred spirits. We especially love the videos with dear Grim. I believe Grim is one of the cutest dogs ever! He adores you both, you can really see it in his eyes. :). I hope you have a wonderful Polar Night season and get to do all the cozy things you look forward too. Have a wonderful day ahead.

    I live in Oslo, and about six hours of daylight at the darkest is dark enough for me. I do think I'd feel differently if I lived somewhere more calm and quiet and didn't have a day job, though, because I do love getting up early in the darkness to light my candles and relax when I have days off. It's just the getting up in the dark to go to work part... ugh. :p

    Five years’ ago I moved from sunny Southern California to 1,000 miles north where it’s both much darker in winter *and* grey/gloomy. It’s been a hard challenge half the year, even though I absolutely love it here, and spring/summer is paradise. I’ve started watching your videos to help me feel a little better about this time of year, and… the “medicine” is working 😁🙏😍

    I had moved from South Carolina to England and one of the best pieces of advice that I got was to always make sure that I took a walk every day regardless of the weather. In the winter it doesn’t get light until about 9:30 AM and then it’s dark at 3:30 PM, so it was a very short day and I was definitely not used to it.

    I love winter weather, and get a ton of energy in the fall and winter. I think I'd cherish 2 months of time in the house for projects and wood fires and hot coffee. I'd throw a lot of dinner parties with friends, declutter the house, read all the books, watch great movies with my hubby (among other things ;) ) I think I'm probably romanticizing this experience but it just sounds so nice to have the opportunity to calm....and when the light comes back how wonderful it would be to rev back up for adventures after a good long rest. I think that's the fascination and adoration with where you live Cecilia. 💕
