Hi! My name is Gillian | Welcome dear friend to the Lost Forest.
I'm a former archaeologist/historian turned artist, and the creator of Ireland's original wildflower jewellery. Come follow me on my journey into the Lost Forest - a magical world that inspires me and my handcrafted jewellery.
My videos are portals to escape through and transport you into rural Irish farm life in Co.Cavan; venturing down leaf-strewn bóithrín with glimpses into hidden hedgerows, and rambles through sunlit meadows. Mother Nature holds a wealth of beneficial properties for us. She is our healer, muse, and an enduring friend in an often lonely society.
If, like me, you find yourself drawn to nature; wandering within daydreams, and feeling connected to a different type of world - a peaceful and magical world that not everyone can see or appreciate - then I hope you find this little corner of the internet a place to call your home sweet home. ~ Gillian x
Thank you for making me travel to your beautifull place 💚 Already said it, but you are so talented ! That final sunset is beyond words...waw. A kitchen garden is a very good idea, without coriander of course (don't like it either). Hope you will share soon this project with us. Have a nice week ☘️
My heart is in Ireland today...... thank you for a beautiful video to start my day. Your new little pup is adorable; the colour of the Rowan trees just now. Rowan would be a lovely name.
Dear Gillian, I watch your videos will I m taking breakfast on Mondays (twice sometimes to enjoy all the details!) makes the week lighter since the beginning, you are so talented! Love the frog for flowers, it’s a great idea, and please, pour a cup of tea to Charlie please! Haha, blessings from Barcelona!
Hello Gillian! Even though I watched the video on Sunday didn’t have time to comment. My first thing to do is watch your videos. I was right! Mr. Pup’s baby came over , what a great surprise and beautiful puppy! As always your videos are full of beauty. Thank you so much for sharing them to us!💓🙏⭐️🐈🐝🌸

Hello Gillian !☺👋🌻 Very beautiful as always and full of charm !! To see again this tremendously splendid place where everyone would like to live or at least to go each week is a great pleasure !!💚🎉💚 I noticed the style of all wheel barrows are well in order😄👍... It's still very green and flowered where you are...at the contrary in France with Sun for long weeks and the grass is dry, burnt !! So most of flowers too😛😛. It's a little bit strange not to have some words of you, even at the end of the video... I hope you are quite well🌈🌻💋 Really all your friends from Animal reign are deeply happy there, the lady moo is confirming that with your Knight !😊👍🎈 MERCI for all those peaceful, beautiful moments shared with your irish universe, your paradise !! Be all happy ...Life is so !!!🌎🌳💚🌈🌻👋 Astrid
So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I think all the rain here has helped keep everything flowering and so lush. Oh, if you turn on the CC button on RU-vid , you can follow along with the story I write each week. You can also select your preferred language 🥰✨💖
Hello again from Virginia. Loved the video. Exciting to think of you adding a Kitchen Garden. I too thought of Junior for Mr. Pup's pup. Or perhaps Junior Pup. Charlie always make me chuckle. Was the ginger cat in the video the same one that you had been trying to think of a name for? If so what did you end up with for a name? Thanks again for helping to lower my blood pressure and sharing the gentleness of your country life.
Aw I’m so glad you enjoyed it Mary! Yes, that’s right, he’s made our farm his home now I think . We named him Ginger or Gingy for short. Such a cute little fella 🤭🐈✨💖
Dearest Gillian, thank you for your beautiful videos. I am currently on a healing journey and your light gives me so much repair. Warmest wishes and take care ❤
Очень красивый ролик! Вы живёте в раю! Волшебная атмосфера и все счастливы! Вы труженики, большое уважение Вам! Божьих благословений Вашей семье! Привет из Казахстана ❤
Beautiful video. Gave lot of peace and calm to my inner self. Where would I look online for the Looking glasses created by you. Each have a wonderful story to say…. They are so creative. Thanks for sharing this video. This is the first time I’ve come across your videos. Now I’m on the second one. ❤
Thank you Gillian for sharing another slice of Ireland's heaven!! Your videos mean so much to me and my husband. We hope to visit Ireland again some summer! All the best to you and your family and a big kiss to the puppies from Massachusetts!😊🌲🌳
Привіт мій любимий канал. Я з України - Sveta. Де зараз війна. Можете сказати, яка це країна, місто в ній чи село. А квіти схожі на наші, один в один. Яка ж краса!! ❤ Як же хочеться миру, як на всій планеті землі.
Hello Gillian, I’m not great at putting into words how much pleasure your videos bring me so this is just a simple Thank You and many Blessings to you and yours 💚
So relaxing… I just adore your videos. I want to live in your county of Ireland! Naming the puppy… the man holding the puppy was wearing a t-shirt with Jones written on it… it made me think of the name Mr Jones… or Jonsey! Mr. Pup and Mr Jones… I do hope the pup is a male… Jonsey for short
Everything's just beautiful!! The food always looks delicious!! It's always exciting to have new ideals!! Love the jar topper for the flowers!! So creative!! 🥰💐✨🍀
Lovely video, Gillian. Thank you for sharing your day, it was so enjoyable. Your descriptions are just as beautiful as the scenery. Your artistic talent shows in so many ways. The music is so relaxing. I don't find the scent of Cilanto (Coriander) to be "soapy", in fact I rather like the scent and taste of the leaves, and their health benefits are many. Mr Pup's puppy is adorable!
Aw so glad you enjoyed it Bonnie! Yes, it’s so strange, I’ve always tasted soap from it and never knew why or if anyone else did! I wish I could taste the citrusy notes to it instead!❤
