Rose, you’re SO CLOSE to picking up a chicken and taking the selfie of your dreams! I believe in you! Rosie, well she’s clearly a pro already. I mean she’s even giving lessons. Impressive.❤

captain man sounds like it could be a good disney or pixar movie 😂. the dramatic reading was a 10/10

Why am I not surprised that Rosie's able to pick up the chickies so effortlessly and nurturingly lol

i always try to romantisize the winter and call it cosy instead of nasty and grey. can be hard to do sometimes but i try to remind myself that without it being dark and dreary outside, we couldn't have warm-white lanterns or fairy lights or fireplace glows. you get to wrap up warm and have an excuse to knit clothes if you have the time!! also hot meals like soup or a shepherd's pie whilst it's cold and dark outside really hit the spot too. it's the perfect time to try and perfect those recipes. i know that's not a fix-all solution haha and it's all much easier said than done. from one seasonal affective sufferer to another, we got this!

Living in Australia and sweating my soul out of my pores at Christmas I definitely find the northern hemisphere cold Christmas wayyyy more preferable

I try to do this too and it does help a bit. I also try to accept winter as an integral part of a cycle and as a chance to allow myself rest and calm. Once I let go of the idea that I had to be as productive, social, busy etc as in other seasons it actually got a lot easier. We got this!

Omg it’s been ages since we heard about Emma! Hope she’s well!

we have rescued 21 hens now split between 3 coops all have different ring tags to identify as we couldn't tell the difference when the feathers came back. They will eat your weeds and flowers. Ours all have there own personalities they are so cute.

I just LOVE that y’all rescued chickens❣ You both have the sweetest family.

Rachel, Monica and Phoebe 😂 I wish you'd get some roosters and name them Chandler, Ross and Joey lmao

I have bad SAD. And usually feel horrible during the fall and winter . I will be watching your videos to help me ❤️ honestly you guys are the best . I love how your honest about your struggles and try to help people instead of hiding it ❤️

Four years ago I named my new kitten Rosie, after you guys. Now seeing that you’ve named one of your chickens Phoebe (my name is Phoebe, if you didn’t gather that already 🤣) has absolutely made my day! I know that it’s Phoebe from friends but I’ll pretend you named it after me hahaha. I do really love that you’ve rescued chickens as I’d love to also have some one day! You’ll master the art of chicken-holding in no time Rose 🐓🩷

the way i was on the edge of my seat when you were reading captain man

It's been more than a decade now and I'm turning 30 this year. I still love watching your videos.

Seasonal depression is something else. We keep twinkle lights up as long as possible, watch comfort shows like Dr. WHO, the cats help a lot too.

Your lifestyle is all I want for my future with my girlfriend ❤ thank you for being my comfort place xx

Right, so SAD sucks. I know and I deal with it every year along with my year round anxiety. It can get real hard this time of year, especially when the wretched time change occurs and it’s dark by 4:30pm. What helps me the most is getting outside. I make sure I get outside every single day for at least an hour. It can suck because it’s cold and often dreary and winter lasts 8 months in New Hampshire, but i do it anyway and I’m always glad I did. It really helps having pets too because the dogs and the chickens make being outdoors way more fun. I also make sure I take a multivitamin and vitamin D everyday because them good for the body. So yeah, basically, GET OUTSOIDE, even if it’s shit. ❤

Can’t tell if you are being serious or funny but I’ve heard about weighted blankets and was wondering if they really work or like wraps that hug you?

I never cease to be amazed by how both you and Rosie keep looking younger in this new home and with a young child!! You are both absolutely gorgeous and your eyes seem to dance with love and happiness in your relationship. Yes, SAD is peeking its ugly head out about now for me also. My advice is to take advantage of any days that have sunshine in them for outdoor activities, keep busy with crafts and hobbies that you enjoy when you have spare time, and you already have the best of enjoying a loving home and family life. Those are the things that help me with SAD. I'm loving your new adopted chickens adventure! What a great adventure and experience for Ziggy to be a part of also! He just needs some toddler farmer bib overalls, a hat, work gloves and boots to be little farmer Ziggy when he's herding chickens and gathering their eggs ... that would be too cute!! Rosie is already a pro with the chickens ... her connection with animals says a lot about her soul's energy. You will get there with the chickens too ... I was very proud of how close you came to picking up one!! Hearing you mention your bff Emma brought back awesome memories of your early videos! She needs to come visit for a vlog, she's such a fun and beautiful soul!

If you guys just keep making videos my SAD won't be so bad!!

My plan for SAD this year is to actively ignore it 😅

Rose, come to Australia during Christmas! No cold weather I promise!

I used to get quite unmotivated and depressed in the winter, especially because of the shorter days but I would say, try to romanticise the shit out of all of it, find all the silver linings and then that'll bring gratitude to the forefront. Like the sound and the smell of rain, the lights in the dark, hot drinks, wearing jumpers, eating hearty foods, carving pumpkins, Christmas markets, the colour of the trees, the beauty of snow. And then just knowing that all of that is temporary

Rose.. SAD listen u need to do what I do. Make sure u have plenty of plants inside the house the greenery is awesome..n I have plenty of trees that stay green all year long.. now that u have chickens that's going to help as well..u got this .

OMG IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID. i promise i have a life. sorta.

I have S.A.D and literally dread the shorter days. I'm trying to divert my attention to it by giving myself different goals throughout A/W via hiking and landscape photography.

Hey Rose I find putting my halloween decorations up early helps my seasonal affective disorder, the pop of colours and the feeling of doing something positive and welcoming about fall changes how I think about it.

More chicken content 😍

The chickens seems to want to hang with Rose, following her and all 😊

I suffer from SAD really bad, a couple of things sort of help. 1. I count down the days until the shortest day, it’s usually around the 23rd December, I look forward to the day after as I know from that day on it will be getting lighter everyday. 2. I try and go outside every day and see the light, even if it’s freezing or raining. I wrap up warm and make sure I go out. 3. I make the evenings cozy. I close the curtains early so I don’t notice when it gets dark and make the living room cozy with candles and movies. 4. I ignore the end of daylight saving times. I know it actually happens and I abide by the new time but when it’s dark at like 6pm, in my head I say ‘well really it’s 7pm’. 5. I try and remember it’s not for long. Like right now is about the same daylight time as March and I’m ok.

"I touched his leg 🫴🏻🫴🏻 his leg touched my skin" 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for saving these chickens❤

Looove the craft space !!

I can see a Captain man children series minus the beer of course. Can’t wait to see how the office turns out

The sweetest family!!

Been waiting for this video ❤❤❤❤

watching this in class and it’s so worth it

I need a Captain Man series!!

OMG I love this. Made me smile and reminded me of your old videos ;) I laughed out loud so hard at those back then.

i love them!! pls more chicken footage

I love Captain Man😊❤

I just want to say, tai chi is worth giving a shot! It helped me through my last semester of college. Great stress reliever and you feel like a boss doing it.

😂 at the end

it’s so sweet that you’ve rescued chickens it really warms my heart because I know they’ll be treated well now 🥹🥹🥹

we had chicks like that when i was little, the best thing ever i loved them so much. i miss them

The Adventures of Captain Man. Looking forward to seeing how that continues.

Captain man and chickens what more could we want.brilliant.i appreciate it.

So fun! Glad to hear about Emma and Laura! Miss them

I love these chickens, they are soooo cute 😍😍😍

i'm excited for the chicken content

can't wait for the next rendition of Captain Man

i love watching your videos SO MUCH aaaaaa I LOVE YOUU. The best family and inspiration

Please do daily vlogs of the chickens! I need to know more about them! They are so precious.

Chicken math is real. I started with 5 and have 25 now oops

Always love a picture of Roise in the video anytime 😂😂😂

this video was so amazing as always ❤️❤️ your videos and content is always so amazing and I really love every minute of your videos and I enjoy it so much 🐸🐸🐸 I sending lots of positive energy and lots of love and hugs to whole this amazing family!! I love you guys with all my heart

I have reverse SAD 😆I get really bad in summer and now I'm relieved autumn is here.

So if you pay for therapy and then Better Help sponsors you….Does that mean you’re getting paid to do therapy? Cause I think that’s how it should be for us all 😂

i love you guys so much. you are a safe place for me when i feel uneasy and need distraction to avoid an anxiety crisis 🥹 thanks for always being around and sharing your lives with us. i’ve watched you since around 2014-2015 and feel comfort watching your videos when i’m feeling lonely or anxious

I do exactly the same thing. I'm constantly eating and drinking stuff that isn't good for me and irritates my ibs.

Loved seeing the excellent book you started with Emma. You have got to complete it I got to see what happens…I love a good thriller.

Your YT video is brilliant. I love chicken and free-range eggs. Rose is a chicken for not picking the hen up. Rosie is great at picking the hens. She does know how to pick the hen up and comfortable hen. I recommend that you both have beehives for honey. I am sure you both will love honey. Rosie teaches Rose how to pick the chicken up, and the chicken does not harm Rose, and your chicken will love cuddling from Rose. Love you both as always. LOL 😆💗💗🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

Australian here… I’m actually leaving summer to come to the UK for Christmas to have my first cold Christmas! I’m actually excited! If it makes you feel better, some people dream for a cold Christmas as all decorations etc are around winter!!

This is the perfect vlog to watch with a good meal and a pint of beer. 😅

Hadn't watched in a while and you both had a baby ALL OVER MY SALAD!!!! What?? Congrats and also, please write and illustrate a children's book ❤

I think im gonna buy a VR for my SAD, im convinced now. Cos last year was brutal and I told my therapist, i aint doing another winter like that. Jeezus

Kate McKinnon would be the perfect Captain Man for sure !!

I love how three of the chickens names are Monica,Rachel and Pheobe😂

I’d buy a copy of captain man, even unfinished 😂

❤❤❤❤❤

I use a happy light for SAD. Also, next you’re going to get a goat 😂

Rosie! Your seatbelt please!!!!

Good things I’ve done to help my SAD - Try and go for walks/ get out the house as many times as possible, even if it’s dark or rainy. Have long baths with bubble bars/bath bombs and candle/incense burning Also I try to focus on the small joys, and plan things for the winter so I have things to look forward to. Pick a LOOOONG series to watch , something to look forward to every evening! Naps 😂

Four eggs, nice ~

💚🐸🐔

Plenty of proteins going around the house …🥚cellent

i would buy captian man tbh

Ríe 😂 jajajaja 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did you guys build the coop yourselves? I've been wanting to raise some chickens but worried about the costs of building the coop. Love u guys❤

It’s an Omlet coop. They ordered it but put it together themselves. I loved having chickens. I used an old dog run and put a roof on it. Built boxes out of plywood. There are loads of easy, cheap ways to do it. Do some google and YT searches. Good luck

lightnining

Not gonna lie I read your inspirational poster to myself in the (Radiohead) "Fitter Happier" voice 🐸❤

I forgot the Britishness so when she said, "14 pounds for the floating shelves" I was like, "Well, damn. That's some heavy headpho--Oh, shelves. That's some heavy shelves...Oh! Money. Got it." Also, I'm working on a children's book, could I send you two a copy?

Ok, so here is my story. I suffer from SDD so bad, this year I almost took my own life. It didn't have that a lot of stuff was happening externally that made things even worse - eg multiple deaths of loved ones. And I fell on my face (in that funny Simpsons style) only it wasn't so funny cos I broke my skull and the main nerve that ran through that area, so I couldn't feel my face for months. And on and on it went. It was a cold, cold hell of a winter, with not a single warm day, and no sunshine at all. Even though I live in Australia. *Grumble* This is what got me through it. I had an epiphany one morning of, "what am I going to do if circumstances continue to get worse". Because by this time I wasn't even leaving my house, I was so scared of the outside world and very un-me. I know you guys hate Cancerians but I am one, so very moody and emotional anyway. And when I get in that low state I start getting body pains (as If that wasn't enough). But the epiphany came on the first day of spring, and ironically when the sun came out. It went like this, "You don't need to wait for things to stop being hard to be happy." and i thought ... "Universe, is that YOU? If so, can I have a confirmation?" And the very next day I came across an American Idol contestants, Nightbirde, who was dying from Cancer but she was so positive and because and what she said next shocked me, She said "You don't need to wait for things to stop being hard to be happy" and sung an original song called "It's ok." I was in tears. Even Simon C was tearing up. But I know that message was confirmation from above. That SDD time was so brutal I almost couldn't go on. But I hung around long enough that I learned a lesson which was confirmed to me. SO almost died from SDD, lost a lot of muscle mass, had zero motivation to move or do anything. But the epiphany and confirmation changed everything. So next time winter comes around, I'll be ready for it. I'm going to be happy DESPITE anything that happens around me that may be less than positive or downright traumatic or intolerable. Just remember, happiness is a CHOICE. How good is that? On another note, love that you guys saved Chickens. You really are wonderful human beings. That's why you're one of my favourite KZreadrs. Always do what makes you happy and F the rest! x

Rose you should communicate with Claudia Kellgren Fozard, as she suffers with SAD too.

I know you are being respectful because they had such a bad life before you, but hold your chickens, talk sweetly to them, love on them and they will eventually relax and give you so much love back.

I don't know if I just couldn't see it, but please wear a seatbelt!! Especially on a motorway! 💖💖💖💖💖

I love you guys ❤thanks for helping me get comfortable with my sexuality when i was younger ❤

captain man is better than any book i’ve ever read

Rosie are you scared of the chickens? 💜💜
