At the end of last year, I wrote a post about my goals for 2021. I’m normally pretty shy about sharing goals, but I figured putting them out there would help to hold me accountable this year.
Which brings us to today. One of my goals for 2021 is to start a YouTube channel. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. I don’t love seeing myself on camera, despite years of being completely and totally comfortable acting and singing on stage. But I do love the idea of sharing stories about old house living, days in the beautiful Virginia countryside, writing poems and stories, music and singing and songwriting, and eventually, when it’s safe again, some bigger travel adventures.
I’m planning to start putting together some content in the next several weeks, once it starts to warm up a bit outside. In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to reach out to all of you, wonderful readers and fellow bloggers, and see what kind of content you’d be interested in.
Like, I know my everything about my very old house is fascinating to me, but what aspects of living in an older home would you like to explore? And though I love driving down dirt roads in the country and sampling craft wine, beer, and cider, what would you like to know about Virginia’s historic and scenic countryside?
And as part of the fun, to get started, I thought I might do a Q&A here, so you can all learn a little more about me. I’ve seen other bloggers do this, and I love it. 😊 So, ask away! What would you like to know?
I’ll plan to post some A’s to your Q’s in the next couple of weeks.

I am afraid I am not much help for you; I do not watch Youtube other than occasional music videos, and I just cannot get into podcasts. I know people who love them, but I still prefer to read my stories. I hope it goes well for you, however!

I’ve started watching YouTube videos during quarantine – it’s such a great way to escape for an hour or so. I’ve always wanted to live in an old house and would be fascinated to hear more about your house’s history! The travel vlogs sound like a great idea also.
One of my favorite YouTube channels is the Chateau Diaries. You might find some video ideas on their channel!

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out this evening. YouTube has really become a fixture around here, too, during the pandemic. I just love the variety of content and personalities. I feel like I’m always learning something new.

This may shock you but I’d love more history stories! Lol I always love the little bits of history and old legends you seem to have a knack for finding.

I’d love to see your house! What is your favourite part of your house? Did you restore it? Is it an ancestral property? Are there any ghost stories? I love ghost stories. 🙈
Good luck with your YouTube channel. I personally love watching people do fun/funny challenges on there. For eg: one of my favourite Youtubers is Taz (Clickfortaz) – she does these fun challenges like living off of 1 pound for a whole day or going vegan for 1 week. It’s fun to watch.

Thank you! And thanks for the recommendation! I’ll check it out. I’ve found myself watching mostly YouTube if I’ve got the TV on these days. There’s so much good content, and I never get bored.

I’d like to see the basement of a house like this. Stone foundation, perhaps? That would be awesome. And the attic. Any ghosts?

I’ll post some pictures of the basement. The attic…well, it terrifies me. But Graham goes up there from time to time, so maybe he can get some good shots.
