[Dunl33r]

Very good. This is what youtube is about. An everyday happening put to some music or commentary.

[happytrails100]

I ran across this video last year and it re-introduced me to Kate, then I couldn't find it again till today,now saved, find it peacefully mesmorizing..Thanks

[gerdenshed]

@happytrails100

I'm glad you liked this. At the time I thought this amount of snow was a lot lol... Little did I know what this year had in store!

Mark....

[Ynysmydwr]

Gerdenshed, this is such a strangely life-enhancing combination of soundtrack and video. Is it the song, or is it the wonderful visual record of your journey to work on such a magical morning? I don't know, but I find myself drawn to it again and again -- especially when I'm feeling down. Many, many thanks!

[gerdenshed]

That's lovely comment on my video, thank You my friend. I love driving in the snow and as you say the music just seems to 'fit' ;-)

Mark....

[Ivoryticklermama]

Mark,

This was great. I was straining my eyes to see what was wrote on the building but I couldn't see. It looked like you edited the video so I'll bet you drive further than 8 minutes to work. Thanks for sharing.

~Joan~ in rural la. usa

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Joan, the sign in front of the building says The Barn. My company is called Activotec. The drive takes about 20 minutes to get there but I condensed it to fit in with YT rules ;-) Glad you liked it Joan ....

[moveme77]

Hey Mark!! Wow! It's beautiful there! Where is the traffic? hehehe Oh, one more thing, you really need to get on the right side of the road! LOLLL

What a beautiful voice this lady has too!!

[gerdenshed]

Hello Stranger lol... I wondered who moveme77 was for a moment.... I'm so lucky there is very little traffic on my route to work! What a blessing that is :-) This is Kate Rusby singing she is good...

As for driving on the right... That's a bit dangerous over here lol :-)

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Linda, I'm glad you like it. You should visit sometime... Probably when it's warmer lol...

Mark :-)

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Hey Mark! I have watched this twice today...I just love it. For one, I love Kate Rusby's music.'Who now will sing me lullabies' and 'Underneath the Stars' are my absolute favourites....and her version of 'You belong to me' on here is amazing too.

I was one of the millions who stayed at home yesterday - the snow was deeper up here in our part of Cumbria - where do you live? I am impressed by your ability to drive in the snow!!

This really is a magical video - a wonderful creation -thank you :)

[gerdenshed]

Thank you so much sunbeam. I live about 12 miles outside of Cambridge which is where I was born. I am so lucky on my journey to work as it is a beautiful journey. It is equally beautiful in summertime. Perhaps I'll film it again on a sunny summers day :-)

Mark...

[1stlagitana]

Very nice!!! If you want more white fluff just ask me I have lotts of it at home and gladly share!!

1stlagitanaX

[gerdenshed]

Great I love the snow, send as much as you like :-)

Mark...

[1stlagitana]

Oh well we are expecting 50 cms within the next three days are you prepared for that???? LOL :-)))) I'll try to send it all to you then...;-))

[gerdenshed]

I look forward to it :-)

Mark...

[baldyholly79]

Its like watching one of those hazard perception videos!!! lol It makes me wish it was Christmas again, listening to this wonderful tune.

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Jamie, I'm glad you liked it :-)

Mark...

[blinddrunkal]

Great stuff, Mark - who was holding the camera? I had to park a mile away from home and walk tthe rest fo the way last night! Should have recorded it - XX rated language. All the best :-) Alan

[nllleonard]

You are not taking care of that cold Alan!

;) ~NAncy

[gerdenshed]

You tell him Nancy lol....

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Alan, the camera was stuck on my dash using three blobs of Blu Tac!

I bet you were cursing my friend :-(

Mark...

[classican]

Great video!!! Mark, the thaw is setting in down here now thankfully.

[gerdenshed]

Thanks Pete, I love the snow! It reminds me of when I was younger and it snowed like this most years :-)

Mark...

[nllleonard]

Maybe this will get your "show where you live" idea back on the road, so to speak, Mark!  Hope so!

[gerdenshed]

Yeah, that received loads of praise but virtually no videos which was a shame... I was hoping you'd send one in hint hint lol..,

Mark...

[jamesnorthernva]

Your on the wrong side of the road!!! I'm joking of course. Thank you for this wonderful video.

[gerdenshed]

I'm glad you liked it James :-)

Mark...

[ericandlindashelman]

Now I MUST SHOW MY DRIVE to work! Although I'm in Florida so don't expect any of the white stuff. That was beautiful, and I also love the music. I'm going to get her CD ... immediately!

[gerdenshed]

Thank you Eric. Kate is a very gifted singer and seems very popular here on YT :-)

Mark...

[nllleonard]

Favorite part..2:15 when the birds suddenly appear and take to the air! What a beautiful scene!

[gerdenshed]

Yes, they were picking the bones of the last poor sod to crash on the ice lol...

Mark :-)

[nllleonard]

This is just wonderful, my friend! So glad you thought to do this! On my boring little trek to the library, I'll just pretend it's this I'm seeing and hearing. Lovely, so lovely..

~NAncy

[gerdenshed]

You film it and let us be the judge of that my friend. What may seem mundane to us can be of great interest to others :-)

Mark...

[snicky58]

LOL, Nancy -- good idea! Just close your eyes while you drive and imagine ... no, wait, never mind! :-) I came back here to give Mark his 5 well-deserved stars!

Karen in Texas

[gerdenshed]
