Ambience/ASMR: Victorian Cottage Hearth at Night (Fireplace/Wood-Burning Stove), 5 Hours

List of Sounds:
the crackling of logs in the wood-burning range, whose fire revives the darkness into a sunset-colored glow, the night now alive with the bloom & shimmer of embers
the noble tick-tock of a grandfather clock, made by the town's most talented craftsman in 1640 for a family whose later generations still cherish it as an object of both stately legacy and everyday practicality
an occasional bluster & gust of wind -- the fireside coziness heightened then through contrast: settling anew into warmth when reminded of the clear, sharp cold held just beyond the door; led anew into the dance of the fire's blaze when reminded of a midnight lit only by the remote winter moon and stars that sparkle like frost
the swish & susurration of cotton nightshirts and woolen dressing gowns; the slowly soporific smoothing & straightening of a hand-knitted blanket draped over the knees
the quiet shuffling of slipper-clad feet
the wooden beams of the floors, walls, and ceilings in their nocturnal chorus of creaking & settling
the sporadic squeaky groan of an old door on old hinges; the jingling of keys as locks are secured for the night
a boiling tea kettle, with its familiar, low rumble; tins of tea-leaves shuffled, perused, and chosen; the pouring, stirring, and sipping of "one last" cup of tea, when the fireside is more alluring than bed
the daughters of the house whispering midnight secrets to each other, hushed but unconstrained, liberated by the knowledge that all such declarations of innermost heart & mind will be forever held in the sacred confidence of sisterhood

Question: What is an ambience video?

Answer: Pleasant, soothing background images & sound for relaxation, study, play, or work; gently occupies an anxious or unfocused mind without causing unwanted distraction; creates a comfortable, inviting atmosphere; personalizes sparse, colorless, or impersonal environments; enlivens spaces where we live or work alone; fills silence with more subtlety, ease, and warmth than music or TV; offers softly dynamic "rainbow noise" instead of monotonous white noise; enhances interior design & personal style by turning screens/screensavers into live photographic displays.
