39:45 ...I love this: the man is now in a place where things are largely stable, and he is clearly at peace living there. He can now pick & choose what to do next, while he waits for the local bureaucracy to do what it does. The patience - the serenity that this dude enjoys - his gratitude...its all on display here.
@@kookietherapy9398 I love the smooth motion and the sount of the scythe cutting through grass - my grandfather cut the wheat harvest with it. Yup, I'm old
Your brother is quite a craftsman, too. I'm sure as family comes and goes it is so nice to have a little piece of them left behind to remind you of their visit. Wonderful to see new areas and all of nature's wonder around you. Thanks, as always, for the work you put into your beautiful videos.
I hadn't thought of that but it's true...every time his family or friends come, they do stuff or build things with Martijn and it IS building a lovely integral history to his home and surroundings. What lovely memories he will have all over his property.👏🤗
Your older brother has a beautiful family. Your mother did something that will benefit generations to come, teaching her children to cook for themselves. Wonderful 😊. You have a unique family, each of you have your own ways of doing things, living. That's something people could learn from. Thank you Martijn for your work making these videos of life. 🇨🇦
So good to see the brothers and their families. The walk for mushrooms, the flower box, the bench, the making of memories. The greenhouse is beautiful. Greeting to all the community who stop here to be refreshed.
It was nice to hear the laughter of the children, seeing them become involved with everything around the home, swinging, cooking, and just making the place seem a bit like a family home. Not that quiet and serenity isn't a balm to the soul, but every human needs that family and species companionship from time to time. I felt like I had gone back in time to our family reunions on the ranch out in Wyoming here in the States. Thank you for that ----from an 80 year old who sort of misses that.
Martijn, words are inadequate to describe the atmosphere of your videos and lifestyle: Natural, understated, subtle, aesthetic, relaxing, humane, balanced, respectful, liberating, uplifting, peaceful, sustainable...
The girls enjoyed your swing so much , perfect for kids . And I’ve never seen somebody so happy running free in that prairie as the beautiful black dog , man he was in heaven!!🤩🤩🤩😍 Thanks for another peaceful Sunday , Martijn.🙋♀️🇨🇱
Yeah..working but not so much against the time. First cabin became so lovely. Now it's so much easier to go on compared to tent time or "house inside house" time. It must be so nice to have that warmth and cosiness all year round. 😊
Oh Martin, I loved this. You are so calm and relaxed, what a lovely family. They must have loved being with you. The sound of children’s voices in your surroundings was lovely . Thank you precious soul.
What a unique place for a child to have experiences that will not only last a lifetime but also serve as an example of how life in this crazy world we call "modern" can be lived if one so chooses. Greetings from South Korea, and thanks as always, Martijn.
I always tell my children that having guests stay with you always blesses the walls of your house! You just can’t deny that after they leave! What a beautiful time you all have had. Thanks for including us. Living in Texas, we don’t get to see your kind of forests and mountains!! I can smell the cool air!!
It was so nice to see the young girls helping out and making signs for your plants. Again, they leave a piece of themselves there with you for a long time. Thank you for another superb adventure.
This was a beautiful and delightful episode. Children always bring more life, and seeing them on the swing, and one of them making pancakes was really sweet. Your brother is quite the wood craftsman, just like you. Your green house is so zen. I can picture you sitting inside on a spring day with some rain on the roof reading with a cup of coffee. Thanks Martijn for another day in your life. Mary from the USA.
What a wonderful family tradition you have Martijn. It seems like each one of your family members that visit contribute or craft something for you while they are there visiting. Just wonderful.
Beauty abounds, the landscape, the light playing on the clouds, filtering beams of misty light that arc through the air. Martijn's homestead is so beautifully placed, there where Val Pellice dead-ends and turns. It's a kind of perfection and we get to experience it unfolding every Sunday! Thanks for your channel!
Amazing! The girl walks through the forest so calmly barefoot! I am a city person and I am afraid to even think how my feet would behave on such a surface!
I’m a barefoot gal! Only wear shoes when I have to. 😄 It is said that we get an energy when our feet touch the ground. I believe it to be true. Try it sometimes. 😊
I can’t tell you how much these videos bring me to a place of peace. In a world that is so chaotic and strange, there are still places such as yours, where one can visit even if virtually, and find renewal in the pace, the mountains, the projects and the humanity which includes divinity which imo brings all of it together. Blessings to you. Please keep sharing and bringing together a global community which so appreciates your endeavors.
What an absolutely lovely video this week. Seeing family around you, hearing kids laughter and chatter, the work that goes on and with help. The greenhouse is just a masterpiece in my opinion. Excited to see what the workshop will bring...when they finally give you the ok! Thanks as always for sharing with us.
Having friends and family stop by is what makes this beautiful homestead home---not a house. Memories can be made, people share their lives, and life takes on a greater meaning. Great job Martijn.
Again - Such stunning views! I loved the opening montage of inside the home. I hadn’t gotten a real sense of the finished spaces until this video. What a work of art, Martijn! Those streams bring back memories of exploring the Alps with my parents as a child - icy cold and crystal clear. Also got a giggle out of running with the dog in the field... sounds of children’s voices… so lovely. 😊 Thanks!
Great, family around again, time to get reacquainted and share news. Keep going Martijn, it's a pleasure to see you and your family and working together.
I think this is the first time children have been on an episode, so beautiful! My oldest is headed of to college in a few weeks and this one made me tear up! I also love how fast you draw up work with your brother on site.
Hello Martijn It is a pleasure to watch not a simple video but each a Movie with many episodes.. Very nice everything you do. I've been following you since you started this project. honestly, I follow several accounts here on RU-vid that make content like you do, but yours is absolutely sensational, I can't wait for the week to pass and Sunday to come to watch the whole episode second by second until the end.. I'm from Romania, I'm settled in the Netherlands for 10 years, I live in Venlo (Limburg). what are you doing there I have no words.. CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱🇷🇴
so lovely to see you creating things with your brother. These things are going to have a special meaning for you. Went to sleep after this video with a special feeling and a lot of love in my heart. thank you!
Evidently your brother is a carpenter too. Beautiful work and I appreciate how you want to add little touches (flower boxes, for example) to add beauty to the place. Every thing you build is a work of art. So good to see more members of your family visiting and enjoying your place.
Hi martijn and everyone😊 Sundays are so special ,also your brother and his girlfriend plus dogs that meal you all cooked fresh mushrooms foraged then cooked cream added then spaghetti looked amazing. Sitting overlooking the mountains magical. Then your next brother and family arrived this brother is such a gifted man how he made the plant box was outstanding indeed also the swing you have made is indeed being well used happy days to all your visitors have a good week ahead
Nice to see family and visitors pass through your home and leave a bit of themselves when they do. I sense you enjoy this but also like your alone time too. A balance of both is wonderful❤
Unhurried summer days in harmony with nature. All work is done gradually - beautifully and reliably. Health and well-being to you and all your relatives. Thank you for the opportunity to be with you virtually.Good luck next week!
What a blessing to hear the lilt of childrens laughter and happy chatter in the background of your usually single male mountain home @Martjin . Your older brother is as dexturous with his hands as you are. How delightful to have adornments that will remind you of this lovely family time. It's all so beautiful in summer .
I am so glad that you had the opportunity to have family visiting you; I loved hearing the kids laughing and having fun on the swing. Everything is looking so good.
You’ve built something incredible and it’s exciting to share such an incredible creation with those you care most about in the world. I can tell you enjoyed being able to share it as well.
Never ever miss an episode…this is one of the best. Visitors and family relaxing, playing, and working together. Love the flower box and flower plant markers. Pure joy!🥰
It is always so nice to see your family visit, the volunteers and Johan. A beautiful video with such peace and tranquillity. Love the fence and the green house is so beautiful. Have a lovely week.
Beautiful Martijn, the visit from family, the voices, the mood. The distant cowbells coming closer. The views of the silent mountains. It felt like summer. ❤
A beautiful family in every way - so lovely that they come to visit & look so relaxed & helping with all those creative things you are dong ! The whole place is looking so lovely now it's fully green, happy chickens, dogs romping when they visit, a little paradise ! Just how humans were meant to be living IMO ! Thanks for a great video this week !
Nice to see family visiting. Loved seeing the girls enjoy the swing, learning about the chickens and making pancakes!! Nice to see kids just running outside and playing. As always enjoying the start of my day with a M.D. video. Hope all out there in cyber space are having a peaceful Sunday.
Dear Martijn, you have created a beautiful life for yourself. The handcrafted woodworking of pieces that adorn your cottages and property including the greenhouse are beautiful. I can only imagine how special the workshop will be. Love hearing the sound of children laughing. Enjoy your family a friends and the beautiful days of summer. ❤
I really enjoyed this episode due to the mixture of family gatherings, nature with flowers, the wonderful meals and the continuous work in progress. Thank you for sharing!
Birdsong, Martijn,the flock, the delights of a Sunday morning. Nice visits with family to sweeten the summer days. I can imagine the smell of the fresh cut grass. Dolce vita. Thank you Martin for sharing your well lived life.
Martijn, it is always nice to have your family visit. Walks, foraging for mushrooms and just enjoying your lovely surroundings. Brother building planter box and bench. Children having fun. Thank you for the beautiful aerial views. Takes my breath away every time. Enjoyed another wonderful video.
They must be dumbfounded at the amount of and excellence with which you have built,created and like a tailor drew together all the components of your mountain side into a homestead,estate.Over the years ( and it hasn't been that many) you have done amazing things inside and outside each building for your family and friends to enjoy.( Sometimes you allow yourself to stop and enjoy it all too !) Kudos Martin Truly a wonderland
Ha Martijn, zolang jij zelf nog niet achter de geraniums zit..is t ok!!! Blijf genieten!! Doen wij ook allemaal van onze zondagse ritueel met kijken naar je!! Groetjes uit Nijmegen
Good move with the Fig tree, they fruit better with roots constricted. Glass House looks so fine! Great to see you have family visiting. Lovely to see girls on your swing.
interesting , never heard of fruit tree fruit better with root constricted , whats the theory behind it ? i do know that tree roots will try to break out of the pot thou , lol
