Hearth & Home | A Simple Life | Off-Grid Cabin in New Zealand

Penelope wrote this song for those of you who have been asking for more of her music. A simple song, for a simpler time: “Hearth & Home“ is a duet performed by Penelope and David (“Granny and Gramps“ from some of our other videos, the founders of Homewood Stoves) - music and lyrics by Penelope. We filmed this mostly-music video up in the farm hills, at the Homewood Cabin. Simple and rustic, built from reclaimed materials, David used to erect this cabin each year at various trade shows around New Zealand, to provide an authentic setting in which to show off his stoves over the beginning years of our company. Today, the Homewood Cabin exists permanently as an off-grid, no-power, no-technology-allowed (Penelope allowing the filming of this video as an exception!) escape from modern life, now expanded with a sleeping area, and given a mud brick floor, for family and friends to retreat to and recharge. Song recorded and mixed by Shane Stewart. Lyrics to ’Hearth
