We are often asked if it is too tiresome to live like this, taking care of a big old house? We honestly don’t think so. When we lived in the city, we were incredibly busy all the time but felt like the things we did, didn’t really add any true value to our life. Now, all the effort we put in here, contributes in multiple ways to our well-being.
In the end, I will take you to a cross-country ski trip. A hobby I started when we moved to the countryside. Have you ever been skiing?

I live with my family on a 2 ha (~5 acre) homestead in Southern Finland. Our home is over 300-year old heritage house and we are learning the skills necessary to restore and maintain it. When we moved here from the city, we fell in love not only with the house but with the overgrown, wild remnants of a garden. We are building the garden up again and making it an edible, flowering garden with lots of space for wildlife.

Which city ?
I loved viewing you beautiful historic home. It reminded me of a visit several years ago to a farm house just outside of Helsinki. We were blown away by the peaceful idyllic surroundings and all the antiques and history. But the generous Finnish
hospitality was memorable. Looking forward to seeing your channel.
Just on samat puuhat täällä 😁 Valtava merkitys on tuolla lumen kolaamisella talon ja kanalan ympärille! Ihanaa Joulua sinne Fiskarsiin 🎅🎄 Mirja
We have enjoyed watching your videos. We hope you continue to create more. Thank you for sharing with us.

This looks so charming! It must be really hard to live in this intense cold, but watching from India, it looks like a wonderland! Of course one grows used to one's environment, like we to our scorching summer heat. Merry Christmas and happy new year! 🙂
love from india
Sending a big Hello from Newfoundland, Canada. I just stumbled across your channel and your house is absolutely beautiful. it's so funny how we have the same take on winter! although this year we've lucked out so far and have no snow yet!!! Newfoundland is much like Finland and if you don't take in winter and its wonderful freshness and get outside and enjoys what it offers, then it's going to be a long five/six months lol
Merry Christmas 🎄 from Michigan ❤️
Snow is attractive
