EP 3: The warm tendrils of Twixmas
Переглядів 39 тис.21 день тому
Welcome one and all to our first video of 2025! I am not usually keen on the desecration of the English language but I hope you don't mind me making an exception for the phrase 'Twixmas'. One, because it so excellently encapsulates that often odd period of time between Christmas and New Year and two, because betwixt is a lovely word that deserves more credit than it receives. Thank you as alway...

Welcome to Duncombe House Diaries, we are two and a half hapless fools harnessing all the temerity we can muster to renovate a truly wonderful 200 year old English estate home. We would be delighted if you joined us in 2025 on our slightly unconventional journey not only to renovate our home, but to laugh as much as possible along the way. For those of you already on the Duncombe House Express,...

Bees knees
This was so lovely, I've decided to save it, and watch it again.😊
Absolutely bees knees ❤love love love
Just land on your channel and got sucked into your bright and positively sarcastic humor 🤭 Yes, please more! 😄
Bees knees! I think you need to set aside a space for a cupboard of curiosities
Without a doubt, the bees knees. Adds a very romantic ambience to a bedroom. ❤ Amazing that the little printed information slip in the Woodbines packet is in such good condition. Fascinating!... so thank you for doing that delicate exposé for us. Much appreciated ❤
❤🐝❤
That rattan is beautiful
Stunning, so much space and so many options to choose from to design the rooms.
I smoke at least once a month. I'll season up a pork loin and put it on the smoker for several hours and enjoy it for a few days. Keep looking for the hidden gold and gems. 👍👍👍
Nincompoops are my favorite!!! Praying for your health and success in your endeavor to turn that gorgeous house into a joyful family home. I humbly request that you to continue to show us all the things, treasure, DIY, doggie, wife destroying stuff and all the sarcasm and history. 💙🙏🏼
Bees knees !!!
I see a Victorian tile mosaic side table in your future. Great finds. The only finds I've found in my 85yr old house are plastic trinkets from cereal boxes and a brick.
It looks wonderful a beautiful place.
That oven fireplace is so neat!!
I stumbled over this adventurous renovation history just by sheer luck, and have now been binge watching the whole series, occasionally looking out into our snowy, Norwegian garden. This is just what I need, so please keep up the good work! I am so looking forward to the next instalment!
Great vocals!😀👍 And definitely the bees knees! More heat!☺️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥
“A sweep is as lucky as lucky can be”!😁
House that just keeps on giving , so many treasures just waiting to be unearthed, , keep up the good work 👍🏻
Well those broken tiles look like the makings of a gorgeous mosaic something ❤
I say ! What what …how absolutely spiffing… Roman tiles no less what a marvellous find dear boy .
Love those tile pieces. Don't throw them out. They will have a good use somewhere.
Thanks for your wonderful "real" storytelling. I love old mansions and I love England. I really would love visiting your places in the future. Love from Italy
Loved that old wedding photo.. if that’s the groom , seated, with his arms folded across his chest, the lovely bride has a wretched life with him, ahead of her..God help her,if any of the kids turn out like him…🤯
The bees knees!!❤
These tile fragments are Victorian. Not early Roman! A nice fireplace for placing a smaller woodburner in readiness for a cold winter. Great!
That was humour😊
Thx
The tile pieces and the cigarette packages are both great finds!❤
I could agree more we so excited to drag them out of the rubble 😂
I like your singing ! I don’t think you’ve ever mentioned your interest in treasure 😂. The fireplace is better looking now but it still needs Jazzy’s touch. (:
Oh, watched again; 4th time……I missed the shot going up the chimney. And you want to know if an open fire ‘in the bedroom’ is over the top or the bee’s knees. INFORMAL DEF: an outstandingly good person or thing. "all it needs is a little fine tuning to make it the bee's knees" I vote against a ‘open’ fire. Romantic but dangerous, eh? Perhaps a clever ‘drinks’ cabinet for water in the night……if the kitchen is far away…..or a few candles to enjoy in the hearth…..or a real fire but inside a wood burner……does it get cold in the bedroom. I bought my husband an electric mattress cover ‘warmer’ and he is so cozy this winter. Love the video. Robins don’t smoke so what does it mean?
I love a fireplace in the bedroom 😍 Those priceless relics you found belong in a museum 😮 You'll have to set aside an area of the house to display it all - charge a penny entry 😉
Those tile bits would be a lovely mosaic on a tray
You just make me laugh so much 😂😂
I would love that forever! Have a modern safe cord made and get the motor cleaned and oiled. It will last and be a great save! What did you do with it?
Little treasures are treasures too. And fireplaces are always good to have.
Absolutely, sometimes the little treasures are the best treasures!
You can never have enough fireplaces!!! I got one installed extra... When there should be a time coming with no gas nor electricity (let's not hope it comes that far again...) maybe you have to decide to burn some treasures made of wood or paper... but you will be warm and able to have hot drinks and (rationed) food❤😮😊 Keep calm and cary on!
Bees knees!!
🐝🐝
@ 😂😂😂
I have a log burner in mine love it!
We need all the heat we can get ha ha
I love your videos ❤️👍👍👍
I love high-grade Virginia tobacco!
Bees knees and the dogs britches! 😆 lovely tiles, would be nice to find replicas or perhaps even just reuse those ones in a crazy mosaic on the hearth 🍂
Why is it in the laundry...don't ovens normally go in the kitchen...what's going on ...are you sure it's the laundry...I am confused
Bees Knees xx
Yes to the singing & yes to any and all treasure finds. Love your channel.
OTT for me
Your videos never fail to cheer me up! Thank you 🙏
Just FYI, OTT is "over the top"
OTT is "over the top"
Can’t wait to see what you two do to this beautiful old home.
Well, now that I spoke to my mate, Mr. Google, and found out what OTT stands for, I have to say "bees knees" (I'm old enough to know what that means without looking it up - LOL). Oh, by the way, loved the little ditty you opened with! You are so much fun to listen to.
Definitely bees knees
Always appreciate you thinking of us 😊
