It's really amazing to have a home organic garden and it is really excellent if you have your own organic farm property. Whatever you wish, you can grow and have delicious, healthy, tasty, toxin free food products. Your farm will also keep the surrounding area pollution free and attract more birds to make their habitat. The more people will become aware of maintaining sustainable lifestyle, the more it will be possible to maintain sustainable surroundings and ultimately sustainable planet.

I understand your concern. It is probably a question of what you are used to. I never had second thoughts with two dogs, a cat and a couple of children bouncing around my christmas tree with 40 candles �� But I would be ever so scared having kids at your place with all your snakes and spiders around 😉

Isn't that funny – it's all relative – it's what you're used to, what you grow up with!

Apart from the fact that "hygge" is Danish and not Norwegian You are very close to what it means. Only one more thing is very important: er almost can't get the feeling of hygge without candlelight. We have always candles: on the dinner table, in our windows, at the front door, eventuelt sometimes in the bathroom ? And thanks for nice blogposts and valuable information on YouTube from a Danish fan.

Thanks for writing – my humble apologies for my anitopean ignorance about this. From the information that filtered down under, I understood Hygge to be a Danish concept, but also from other countries in your region, and that the word had originated from a Norwegian word that meant 'well-being' – I am totally happy to be corrected by someone in the know! I had read about the importance of candles. In my Australian interpretation of Hygge, where the light is so intense, I've been thinking of ways to play with light and diffuse and reflect (though small high windows, off the nearby lake..) to add a softer wavering light. Probably being a bit overconcerned, but with a 3yo in a wooden house, I am a bit afraid of lighting a candle without constant supervision.
