2 introverts living in the Czech countryside 🏡 👇 New YouTube video every Thursday 👇
We were in the middle of an extreme heatwave. Even our little plunge barrel stopped being refreshing because the water got so warm! Peter's sister Monika came to visit, so we spent a few days trying to stay cool 🥵 And then we got hail that brought destruction. Watch here: youtu.be/2Y21HCVICqE
We still have some of our homemade fruit wine from last year which we enjoy sipping at our fire pit in the evening 🍷
This summer has been incredibly dry here, and our garden is really feeling it. In today’s vlog we show how we're trying to keep our trees, shrubs and flowers alive during one of the driest seasons we've ever experienced at our cottage. Watch here: youtu.be/Zhb2WcODQug
We had a record season of honeyberries which we’re very happy about, especially since some other fruits were destroyed earlier by spring frosts. Now moving on to raspberries, currants and sour cherries 🍒
Good thing our garden always provides something flowering we can take a picture with 😃
Join us for a peaceful summer evening walk around our garden. The long days and golden evening light make this one especially beautiful. We will show what is currently blooming in our garden, our new flower bed pathway project and more 😊 Watch here: youtu.be/qKTOxxoSGJ4
Our meadow has been full of ox-eye daisies again. They keep spreading around the garden, just how we like it 🌼
After some much-needed rain, the garden finally feels a bit fresher and greener again 💚 In today’s vlog we're planting tomatoes, checking on the veggies, picking strawberries and honey berries, collecting garlic scapes for lunch, and enjoying all the flowers 😊 Watch here: youtu.be/wXPkTqib15o
Our seasonal elderflower waffles with homemade jam and freshly picked honeyberries 😋
Summer is here and we are enjoying all the little things that come with it. The first strawberries are ready, we make elderflower waffles, admire the evening atmosphere with the full moon, and hope for some much-needed rain after another dry day in the garden. Watch here: youtu.be/Q4NIRrMwm2Y
Early summer is bringing more colour to our countryside garden and there is always something new to enjoy. In today’s vlog, we harvest elderflowers and make our favourite elderflower cookies. From irises and peonies to our pond, early summer is slowly taking over. Watch here: youtu.be/ugBZC1JKsew
Our little rhododendron looks already quite prominent even with its 3 blooms 😃 We can’t wait for it to get bigger.
Warm days are here and the garden is changing fast. In today’s vlog we harvest our first rhubarb, make a rhubarb and strawberry pie, plant zucchinis, collect some huge radishes, and take a look at everything that is blooming. We even start the swimming season 😁 Watch here: youtu.be/e1ZXryF1mx4
We love when this honeysuckle is in bloom. Peter finds it magical 😊
Another week of spring life at our cottage in the Czech countryside is here. We spend busy days working in the garden, mulching, mowing, and enjoying all the flowers slowly taking over. Watch our new vlog here: youtu.be/QFpODZVf-Y8
Late spring at our country house definitely has its ups and downs. In this video we spend a few quiet days in the garden, enjoy the blooming plants and make homemade pastries and other yummies. But spring also brought a few difficult moments this year. Watch here: youtu.be/3GDwSqIlgHY
We went for a walk which turned into an 18 km hike where we discovered beautiful new places in our area 💚
This time Peter tries making his own lighter version of the traditional “Drunken Izidor” cake since we had a great walnut harvest. As always, we start with a bit of skepticism but the result surprised us 😁 Watch the video here: youtu.be/hWwqaIVs6cg
We celebrated our 18th anniversary recently and Peter made this delicious currant pie for the occasion ❤️
Spring is in full swing and our garden is getting greener and greener. In today’s vlog we prepare our potato rows and plant potatoes in grass clippings and hay. We also need to burn old garden waste and do some other chores as always. Normal spring days in the countryside 😊 youtu.be/QoYmiYB4xJ0
