"rest is not idleness" - another pace of life in a forest cottage

"rest is not idleness" - another pace of life in a forest cottage. This video is inspired by the quote by John Lubbock: "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." In this video I wanted to share what's been going on at home, and choosing to spend quality time outdoors, soaking in the season. It's really about slowing down and listening to what the season can teach you.
