Look Who Came To Visit The Cottage! 

Absolutely loved the fox.My family rescued an orphaned fox once. What a privilege and delight. She was the most loving, intelligent, creative creature I had ever met. We became her pack. I can tell you its an amazing experience having a cup of tea with a young, playful fox...on your head. Sadly, her life was very short, and regarded as vermin in Australia, we could get no help for her when she became sick. But she is unforgettable.RIP Berry. Blessings from Kaye to you, Colette.x

Oh the fox is just beautiful this is Jack sending you not just one dog but a mummy dog with little ones to be 🙏🏻❤xx Total paradise to me too

Mrs fox is probably having difficulty with food as there is much scarcity for them at this time. My friend looks after foxes food needs every day for nearly 30 years . They visit her everyday for a meal . They allow her to watch them come and go . Í

The fox is very fluffy, nice and fat. I live in the middle of the city surrounded by parks. When I look out of the window in the night I see a fox every now and then. The first time I could not believe it, I thought that it was a dog. One day I met him/her outside and we looked into each others eyes and he/she aloud me to take a photo of her/him. That was so amazing 🦊💛

Thank you, dear Colette, for giving us the opportunity to be with you in Bealtaine Cottage in all serenity. 🙏🌻

5000 allotments in Rotterdam are in danger because of building plans ... We are fighting for our gardens but we have already got weird restrictions as not planting trees .... If any of you can find the petition and sign it , that can help... Volkstuinen , Rotterdam... I hope you don't mind my asking here , Colette ...but a lot of green is at stake here and a lot of people love their garden ...

If you build it, they will come. With respect, knowledge, muscle power, and love, in a very short time look at what you have done. ❤

It's unfortunate that you can't share the smells of the plants and the earth, as well as the gentle touch of a breeze on your face as you walk through the woodland gardens. It's certainly a place of magic and meditation. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 The beautiful fox! That would be a sight to behold. I hope she is safe and has chosen Bealtaine to have her pups. 🦊🦊🦊🦊

It was lovely to walk with you through the slowly awakening woodland and to be reminded that in nature nothing is ever the same. My walks are different every day as is the allotment and small garden. There is always something new to see and I still try to have those "wonder" moments that I remember as a child. In the summer last year I just sat and gazed at a buttercup sprawling across my beetroot bed and tried to imagine how it would be if I was seeing it for the first time and how wonderful it would seem. A very peaceful and intense experience. We forget to really look at what mother nature gives us as we become older and miss so much of her beauty and resilience.

Back home in Laois there is a fox (We also assume she's female) that largely lives in the field behind my parents house. My Dad watches her movements and has learned that she travels in a remarkably consistent routine. Last time I was home he predicted that she would walk across the filed into the neighboring field, harvest a fodder beet, and take it back across the field to where here den is. She does this every day at around the same time. Fascinating creatures.

I love the sound of your steps as you walk. It’s very comforting. Nothing beats a woodland floor ❤️ What a majestic fox. What a privilege to have her near. Beautiful xxxx

Hi Colette, while looking up the spiritual meaning of a fox I came across this .... cleverness, independent, playful, mischievous, beauty, protection and good luck .I would say that this describes you very well .The only thing it doesn't say is how very wise you are and how much we learn from you . When the world is busy going crazy and we just want to switch off the msm we watch and learn from you . Thankyou . Much Love xxx

Never get tired of hearing about the beailtain cottage ❤

"The woman walked within her woods, the badger slept as he knew he could, the squirrel climbed the tree of wood, all was quiet, and all was good". Your woods are such a magical place for all of nature, and a nurturing place for you and us to see, and be in. Thank you Colette. xxx

That is a gorgeous vixen & how you will enjoy watching fir her kits. I put out food for both the red and gray foxes who travel through my land.

What a beautiful, healthy fox. I feel we are so very very lucky to see such wonderful things. Walking my rescue greyhound Madge at 6.45am this morning, I walked pass trees where the owl was hooting, something you would never hear if you were in a car. I gave up my car, and live in a rural place, so have to get food, and anything I need, delivered, but I feel so lucky to be able to walk amoungst the wild things, and just enjoy nature, and all she has to offer, as you do Colette, in your wonderful wooded world. Love from Devon, England. xxx

We lived in the same place for 45 years, and the garden was huge and backed onto fields and ponds. We had 7 foxes who came daily...to begin with...then eventually their offspring and then, err... their babies 😂so you can imagine over a 45 year period, we had fox heaven! They didn't all stay around, only really the original ones plus a couple of new babies each year, the rest of the babies eventually left the parents and made their own way in the world. I fed them every day, and it would have been so easy and magical to 'tame' them, as in trusting us completely, BUT I knew of many local people who wouldn't have let them live, and I didn't want to gain their trust only for them to trust every human...We told nobody about them. I loved those foxes so very much, and watching their antics and behaviours was so fulfilling. They trained us beautifully😂😂 we quickly learnt their favourite foods...they ate better than us at times!!😂 They 'allowed' us to watch them from a distance, take photo's and if we were late putting their food out, they would come to the French doors and peer in at us 🤣🤣 along with the flippin' pheasants that were orphaned and we raised.😆 Oh, and the robins too; err the woodpigeon, blackbird, hedgehogs 🥰😆😆

Honestly, the way you have transformed the land is incredible. You're right, it IS paradise. The fox is so beautiful. What could be better than being surrounded by nature and wildlife? Nothing, in my mind.

...gosh the fox coming in the day so close to the house ...so hungry ..beautiful animal , amazing you were able to capture her

Mrs Fox is so beautiful! We see one every now and then one the property next to us passing through.

As new construction occurs a mile from my homestead, more and more wildlife comes to my yard for safety. Like you, i welcome them all. They know where they are safe. Blessed be.

Your project is my dear inspiration for transforming my bare new „garden“ where I moved to just 11 months ago. More rock than (acidic) soil, exposed to the elements and the sometimes rough winds from Bantry Bay. Last spring I started planting the first few trees (at least one hour to dig around those rocks), and some nice mixed shrubs for the pollinators. Currently I am delighted by the many gold finches (among lots of tits and just one robin, as it seems), a have been feeding them every early morning for many weeks. Thank for sharing, blessings to you!

The fox is my "spirit" animal!!!. Thanks for a lovely video.

A lovely, magical place you have. It has been unusually warm, above normal temperatures here in East Coast Canada this year.

Beautiful video of Mrs Fox 💖🐾🐾💖 Thank you for sharing Collette 🙏

Always good to hear about the land at the start as that provides good context for your journey. Every time you tell the story I learn a new detail!

Such a beautiful place!!!

Thank you. Like to see what you're doing and the wonderful land.

Such a glorious, awakening Sunday morning stroll. Thank you Colette. I hope you have the best day ever.

What a pretty fox!

Thank you Colette for sharing your wonderful account of Bealtaine Cottage. How wonderful to have the update on all of your vision for the land. To a degree I an relate to the joys of cottage life, my late Husband and myself Owned a small cottage with beam ceilings in Ontario. Nearby was the shores of Lake Simco and we had a Red Fox who lived in the field next to a large plot of land Of a country house . I would go cycling the quiet country lane’s and meet the fox Who often raided the old farmyard to catch a rabbit as there were many wild rabbits Around that homestead.Fox would also ramble across our property to get to the tract Of an old beaten path where the farmer would take the cows to drink from the lakeside, I felt such an infinity towards the red Fox 🦊 didn’t have any fear when Fox crossed My path. Today your vlog lifted my heart ❤️and my memories. Mary Canada 🍁

Glorious achievement Colette, excellent review ❤

What a beautiful Foxy Lady she is! Lovely stroll through your woman made woodland. Blessings.

As an "old" subscriber, I very much enjoyed this winter walk through the woodland. It was nice to see familiar little spots relative to the location of the cottage. So you have 2 spring wells Colette! You are thrice blessed and more!

Thanks again for another post from Northern Eden. 😊😊

When I was still at work, a fox used to come into the compound at night and I fed it cat biscuits. It looked skinny and it was grey not red. We also have hedgehogs in Cyprus but they are very funny as they have long ears that stick up. Blessings colette. If only everybody had your attitude and work ethic. What a wonderful world it could be.

I’m sitting by my very aged mothers bed side while she prepares for her Long Journey Home; your video is so comforting during these long, lonely hours in the hospital here in Glastonbury. We’re near the Tor, Chalice Well and surrounded by the elemental energies of Avalon. We, too, are Celtic Pagans and celebrate Mother Earth and all She offers us. It’s strange (not strange) that Mum will end her time on Earth here as we are from the Isle of Wight - but my Grandparents lived at the top of Cheddar Gorge and then in Glastonbury town for years. We came twice a year for holidays…They work in mysterious and wonderful ways. The sounds of the birds and your gentle voice is beautiful. Thank you so much 💚 x

Awwww that beautiful fox!!!! Well done you!!

I'm lying in hospital alone waiting to hear results from a biopsy. Cancer or no cancer. I have to thank you... as your voice is so soothing to me and your consistency in content makes me feel like I'm listening to an old friend. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us. 🌻

I’m glad that the fox has found you Colette. Thank you for the lovely walk…I could almost smell the sap rising and the beautiful earth and water in the air. Bless you always x

We live in 40 acres of Woodland. In the southeastern Wisconsin. We have a small fenced-off area for a vegetable garden. The rest is all Woodland. I really enjoy your videos and beautiful cottage.

You are my inspiratioin. Thank you!

je suis dans l'endroit le moins boisé de France et il y a pas de forêts autour de chez moi. Des voisins m'ont dit que je plantais trop d'arbres ! Mais non ! Je suis encore loin d'avoir la même densité que vous, donc je continue mes plantations ... I am in the least wooded place in France and there are no forests around my home. Neighbors told me that I was planting too many trees! But no ! I am still far from having the same density as you, so I continue my plantations

You are the best, Colette😘

It looks like a fairytale in the making: The Fox and the Magpie. As always it such a pleasure to see you and Bealtaine Cottage.

Good morning, Colette, looking absolutely beautiful at Bealtaine! It has turned very cold in Norfolk UK, thick frost and ice on the pond! That beautiful fox reminds us of all life that is about to spring forth! Enjoy the rest of your day, many blessings ❤️

Good job you didn't listen to those doubters in the beginning. Lovely habitats for all the creatures and my six year old grandson who loves den's he would be in his elements there. So would I😄. That fox is beautiful she looks very healthy. Thank you Colette for taking care of mother earth and her creature's. ♥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love all the colours. Such a beautiful place to be ❤

What a beautiful, healthy looking fox.....they truly are beautiful creatures. They just seem to belong in a fairyland such as yours💜💚

It never ceases to amaze me to see the difference in your land. Just in the few years since I found your channel it has grown and flourished almost magically but I do know how much of your hard work is behind that “magic”.

How lovely to enjoy a visual walk around your greening property this morning! We are buried under 6 feet of snow in Minnesota. Thank you for the respite!

🙋‍♀️❤just love your slice of heaven. It always looks like Spring!

Hi Colette everywhere looks great and what a healthy Fox love to you xxx

Everything is so green! I'm looking out at white, gray and black. I have a couple more months to wait yet so I'm thankful for your videos.

Blessings to you Ms. Colette! Have a wonderful week 😊

Thank you, thank you for the walk, Colette! Doesn't it feel wonderful to see the color beginning to rise into the trunks and branches! Spring is near! And this one may be coming with the pitterpatter of little fox feet! 🐾

Love your gorgeous videos,. what an achievement when animals also enjoy your home.⭐🐕😺🍄🦔🌳🌳

Amazing to see so much foliage and little snow. Living in 🇨🇦 some of us get tired of the snow by the end of January 😉 and start to look forward to spring only 57 days left!

What a beautiful wonderful fulfilling world ❤

Ah this is a great video. Although I knew your journey of planting the trees I'll never get tired of hearing it. I too live somewhere not populated with trees, the far north of Scotland. Its so windy all the time.

Love the Fox beautiful creature.

Looking forward to seeing your wonderful lot bloom in Spring! Love the fox!!

🏡💚🤍🧡I Love Your Videos!!! They make me so happy...

Hola! Thank-you for all the gorgeous mid-winter scenes. You have created the perfect Habitat for the Goddess! Namaste

Here in central Florida, I have noticed changes in the trees and no, it's not 80 and sunny through the winter months-at least not here in Central part of the state. Yesterday it was pouring rain and near 60, quite chilly. Nonetheless, we do have ever so slight changes. Such a beautiful post, Colette, thank you for the many smiles.

I love ❤️ the fox, thanks for sharing her. XOXO

Thank you Colette. You are a constant Inspiration. xo

Oh I love the magpie and the fox. How beautiful. A blessing to have. May we have a bit fairer weather soon. It is hard to be super-motivated in the garden when the arctic winds are blowing. Odd, we are due to be warmer in the farthest North here in the Highlands than more Southernly England! I wonder about the weather at times.

Colette, your trees are really reaching for the sky, and your video skills are so good now. Sitka spruce was Circus spruce in the closed captioning.

What wonderful wildlife - what’s the long-tailed bird alongside the fox?

Good everything friend! hopefully I can call you my friend I have been watching your channel for quite some time when I first saw it I was so amazed how you would talk about the cottage and the property and how it all began I love listening to you talk about it all like you’re reading it right out of one of your books! You make life feel so carefree like a breath of fresh air like putting all your troubles and worries behind you walking through nature. The property is very beautiful you have put a lot of work into it over the years You are a blessing thank you!!🦊

I never tire of being among our kindred, the trees. I've been a subscriber for many years, but hearing your story is always comforting and inspirational. We have one acre in town, but I'm gradually filling it with trees of all kinds, berry shrubs, and I always have a veg garden of some kind. There is a creek and beavers found their way to it some years ago and built the most glorious dam that city zoning officials dismantled after a time. They've been back, but must have moved on, for I only have a few small trees chewed down. I have such love and respect for nature and I'm glad to have a small part of it and glad to witness yours. Blessings xoxo

Beautiful and inspiring! As per usjz. Thanks, lady for this.

Colette another lovely video. Such a beautiful fox. Hugs and love ❤

Beautiful fox!👍🧙‍♀️

The Fox made me Happy!

My heart! 🧡 The fox is just gorgeous.

Love, Light and many Blessings :)

I came across one of your videos quite by chance, about 6 weeks ago. I love watching your videos and so admire the beautiful place that you have built to live for you and all the creatures and wildlife! It is a joy to watch the progress of your beautiful surroundings. Thank you for all the amazing things you do Colette 🙏🙏🙏🍎🍓🍒🍄🌺🌹💜💜💜

Está tudo muito lindo cada estação tem seus deslumbres e dá um espetáculo da natureza junto dessa linda raposa 🦊🦊 adoroooo bjsss 😘😘😘😘😘🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Wonderful to see the fox, a real beauty with its black tipped ears. It's just incredible to see the progress you have made on your journey, creating a true ark for wildlife and a haven for insects and birds. I so enjoy your wanderings through your woodland. It is certainly a paradise. You are an inspiration. Bright blessings to you x

Mornin my friend.

Good morning Colette! ~ Chilly here too ⛄️

Your continuing story is wonderful and gives me hope

Nice.

I love the birdsong

Happy New Year's blessings beautiful. I adore and enjoy your videos so much. Your land, gardens and home are glorious and welcoming. Thanks for sharing this beautiful.

Beautiful thank you x

Hiya Colette, Thankyou for sharing. Great to hear more likeminded have subscribed. Truly enjoyed a walk through Bealtaine woodland. Currently in the midst of a snowfall 2 inches of snow today southern Ontario Canada. Blessings 🐝🇨🇦

Afternoon👋 🙂

Enjoyed the birdsong

Good morning Colette. Beautiful home/land you've created. And like you said, how much more satisfying it all is 'now' in comparison to a later pension. How uttetly lovely to be gifted with your fox sighting. Do you know what kind that is? I'm from the states, Ohio and our most common one is the red fox, second the grey.

Looking so put together again! Blessings for you.

Even though I've read your story of Bealtaine cottage and heard you speak of it before, I still love to hear you tell your story. There's always something special and today what a treat to see the Fox,wow,wont it be great to see if she brings her brood. Thankyou xx

Great video

Just beautiful, how is your red squirrel Collette? ❤

From the first video of Bealtaine Cottage I happened upon by chance, I felt so in tune with your love and cultivation of woodland, deep appreciation of nature and wildlife, Colette. Having been born on Brigid's Day/Candlemas I've always felt very drawn to your part of the world, and indeed I was lucky enough to visit a few years ago. Just ordered your calendar and very excited to receive it!

❤️❤️❤️❤️🌳🌳🌳🌳

I was wondering where you were getting your firewood from because I knew you had planted trees, so wouldn’t want to cut them down. Are you saying you trim them to get your firewood? I used to heat a big farmhouse with a cookstove and a wood stove so I know how much work it can be. Love from America, Sharon

Cold weather there in Ireland, just wondering do you get midges in the summer?
