A Year by the Lake – Quiet Moments from a Simple Life

This film is a quiet look back at a year of life by the lake. It brings together small moments from across the seasons — work, food, animals, and everyday life — along with unseen footage that never made it into earlier films. This is both a thank you to those who’ve followed the channel throughout the year, and an invitation to new viewers to step into a slower rhythm of living. The film is a little longer than usual, meant to be watched slowly, without words — just natural sounds and simple moments. Thank you for being here. If you long for simplicity, silence, and stillness in nature – you are warmly welcome. ☕suport the channel: https://buymeacoffee.com/slowlifebyth... .......... 0:00 Intro 00:30 Winter days 04:30 Newly hatched chicks and spring preparations in the greenhouse 08:00 Early spring 10:30 Spring.

Welcome to Slow Living by the Lake. In a small tiny house by a quiet Nordic lake, I live a simple and self-sufficient life. I grow vegetables, raise chickens, fish, and cook seasonal meals over fire and on my wood stove. These are silent films. No talking, no music – just the natural rhythm of everyday life: the sound of water, wind, birdsong, and crackling fire. Each video is a slow and gentle story told through images.
