Beautiful house, but sad to know a older gentleman was living alone. It breaks my heart, older people should never live alone. 😢 Thank you guys for your time, & respect on doing these videos. 🫶
Such a lovely old home with so many memories , in beautiful Norway . I can't believe this man kept a daily diary throughout his life, and it's still here . Love your channel, guys, and thank you for being so professional and respectful .
A truly emotional interesting life story about love and family values! Despite his terrible loss,Peter stayed true and committed to his family until the end. The paintings are lovely and the family photos show the deep connection he had with his loving wife and daughter. The entire place evokes harmony and joy. It's a pity all those family items are left to rot away. Thank you,Lesley and Danny for this wonderful journey into the past!
I will never understand why the children don't take care of things after their parents pass. His diaries for goodness sake! How could she care so little to just leave them there to rot? So sad!
I think its mainly a case of people not having enough time or not caring. For example My grandfather owned a cabin that is full of stuff but after he passed it is left abandoned months at a time because my family cant take care of it. My aunts live out of state and my father doesn't have time due to work. I try my best to preserve stuff there but I am only able to visit for a day or 2 every 4 or 5 months or so due to collage. Im also pursuing a degree in history so I have a reason for caring about the history of the place while most people just don't care or have more pressing issues in their life.
I loved visiting the old home with you. The artwork made it very special and unique. I hope the daughter visited and took a few extra special treasures back to her home.
The two wooden models, both the one at the entrance to the house and the one on the upper floor, represent the typical Nordic church in rural areas of both Sweden and Norway for centuries. The one at the entrance even has decorative crosses distributed on the exterior roofs.
This home was so cozy and cute. It was sad that he lived alone until his passing. I do hope that the daughter sells the property. love the videos you do,
The little model in the entrance porch is of a traditional Stave Church. I love Norway, would love to live there. Breaks my heart that this house would go to waste. 😢
Those glass prints would take a several minutes to develop so that’s the reason most people didn’t smile back then in their pictures, and it was also considered an important event and you didn’t want to look silly. Cameras didn’t do well with movement in the beginning it would turn blurry, so easier to hold a straight face than a smile. Probably a combo of both reasons.
I love all your videos ❤ I enjoy the stories and people's lives. Beautiful way you tell the story,🌟 perfect voice and care. Danny is great at the skill of camera/ filming work 👍 and you both are good together in showing places and the lives of the past all over the world. I love it❤❤❤. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and videos, I truly appreciate you both and experiencing the past and ways of life and family. Shout Out From Georgia 😊🙌🙌🙌
30:58 the book in question is a sheet music book for a pump organ, each number represents a different sound field, which in the organ is adjusted by pulling a different lever.
Beautiful house 🏡 but is abandoned, it's so sad that nobody is living there . Thank you and Danny for sharing . You are so nice people 🤩💗 be safe and happy ❤❤
What a very pretty house I especially like the old Singer sewing machine. So many memories left behind. I wish someone would buy this house. It's still liveable. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊. Stay safe in your travels 🙏 ❤❤.
My great-grandmother was from Oslo Norway, and she left for the USA 🇺🇸 for a better life. Sadly, her husband died and left her to raise 5 children alone! She never remarried, and she had to work several jobs to feed her children. She was a lovely lady and lived to 98 years old! She passed away in 1979, and I've always wondered what her life was like in Norway. If you go to Oslo, I hope to see what it looks like there. Maybe you can film a bit of the town? Also, she was terrified of bridges because she believed that trolls lived under them!!😂 Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! I look forward to seeing a video in Oslo!!❤
Some people have a family that dies out and when they die themselves there is often no one to bequeath the property to. Sad. When it's our time to go(me and my wife) we will leave our property to family that wants it.
Hey Lesley wonderful video of that Norwegian house. Tragic background story and very touching. Great camerawork from Danny! Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards.
I really love this exploration. It seems like his daughter has left this to be a shrine for him. Everything in this house spoke of their lives together in his life afterwards. I love the little box with all of his little Diaries in it I wish they could have been translated❤
I'm actually watching you guys from Gjøvik, Norway. Wow, and as I continue watching at about 26:56 you show a painting with the name Arnesen, and that's my husband's family name (I am not Norwegian). That's so incredible. This is the third time I am writing again, because at 28:28 you show a picture with a girl on a white bear, and we actually have that one framed!
This is the painting "Kvitebjørn Kong Valemon" (translates loosely to "White bear King Valemon") painted in 1912 by the Norwegian painter Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914) It is common to see that picture many places here. 🙂
Very sad and interesting tour of this home. I live the Pacific Northwest in US and there is a connection between our area and the timber workers of Norway. Many came to the US and to the forests of the PNW to work. Their wives joined them and they often lived in timber camps in very rugged conditions. It was hard work and very much a struggle for young men and families. Many were seriously injured or died doing the work. My dad was a logger and you had to be strong and energetic to do that kind of work. Norwegian people contributed a great deal to settling Washington and Oregon.
Stave Church. I would call the front porch a portical. Yes, I agree that it's a portal between the outside harsh weather and the warm house. Thank you Leslie and Danny. Yes, very sad Granddaughter is not taking the family heirlooms.
Hi Lesley & Danny, 😉 a Beautiful Abandoned Time Capsule in Norway!! It`s a Shame that the Father Died Alone & the Daughter..Never Returned to Get Any Hand Painted Pictures & Things or for the Daughter to Not Sell the House & let It Rot!! Thanks Leslie for Narrating & Danny for Filming & Saying a Few Words on What You Know!!❤ Have a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey & a Wonderful Evening!!❤ Love Both of You Very Much, Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
Also at 31 minutes in the book is called Juleglede, meaning Christmas Cheer, glede, like glad in English. And Kong Haakon bonbons are very typical and popular to buy for Christmas.
Sad to see all the souvenirs left behind. My mother in law lived by herself till the end. All her kids would visit all the time. We went every weekend. We missed her terribly when she passed. It was the end of an era.
Woow what sweet memories this house and that everything this feelings,,lovely..everything its old,,very🏠🏛🏡🌄💕🌎🤗Thank you friends this you fantastic video and memory house. Byee and see again👋👍😍
Lesley the front area of the house where the wooden church ⛪️ looking thing we call a boot 👢 room in US. Its a place where you take off muddy or snowy❄️ boots. It also keeps the cold out of main house when people open door to come in . I assume people of Norway 🇳🇴 build their homes with that area for those reasons.
Fun fact : Jøtul stove : built in Norway since 1853 ... Translation : build my fire Late in the evening When the day is through. God ensure my fire Never blows out.
That was the Rosary that was hanging, so they were obviously Catholic. I LOVE ALL OF THE WINDOWS IN THIS HOME!!!! You can see the wonderful Wooded areas ; JUST LOVELY!!!!
Благодарю Лесли и Денни за интересное путешествие в капсулу времени! Ваши фильмы всегда наполнены добротой и уважением к памяти людей, о которых вы рассказываете. Это очень ценно!
I've had my hands on one of those hand crank sewing machines. It takes a lot more dexterity and is best used for simple mending. The popularity comes from them being simple and much more portable than a treadle style
I totally understand. Sometimes seeing the decay of such beautiful places can be really poignant. 😢🏚️ It’s a reminder of the past and what’s been lost over time. Is there a specific aspect of the house or its history that struck you the most? 🕰️💔
Come on people - Don’t hate on the daughter. You don’t know her situation or why she left things the way she did. Maybe she’s not in good health or lives far away. Please don’t assume horrible things about someone you’ve never met.
Im having trouble watching these films you two make everyweek. Im not a old man but my life is almost done on earth. Its very sad to see the end of so many lives in these films you two do such a good job showing. Who knows what went on in these peoples lives. Where they happy, were they terrible lonely. Are they just waiting for the end to come. I heard somewhere that the native americans said to take there photo was to steal there soul. I wonder if that might be true. The photo is a second of that time never to happen again ever. So many photos have been taken of time of life of so many its hard to even contamplate. The photos we make today to most in the future will mean nothing at all. Who know why we are here to live good, bad, happy or sad great or rotten lives. I hope everyone will know some day why this had to be like this. We are not at this time to know why we all must go through life this way . All I know is that with all of our suffering the Lord Jesus Christ must have a incredible plan for us.
Its so sad to me that family members let these homes rot away. Its such a waste. Why not sell it or rent it? It like throwing money away for nothing and denying a family a place to live.
Krásné video, nádherná příroda i když u silnice,ale na to se dá zvyknout mi taky bydlíme u silnice, dům byl určitě nádherný, pěkné pozdrav z Česka Jana 🇨🇿❤😊
It's always just as interesting to see your videos on abandoned houses etc. even if I haven't commented on all of them, so I'm a loyal subscriber to your channel on RU-vid
