Brilliant ! ! I am an American living in Britain for almost 20 yrs now ! One of the things that mainly attracted me (other than my husband) was the history and architecture ! ! I wish you both the best of luck in your future endeavors ! Xx
I love all of your conversations!
Hi!! Im sure that you've probably already done this but just in case...your beautiful 18th C. coat of arms print...it needs to be put in acid free material ASAP because that cardboard is acidic and will burn holes in it.
Love your videos! Thanks!❤
At last! The YT Algorithm has thrown up something genuinely delightful and interesting.
wonderful!
Yes! I just saw this tonight for the first time. I am sharing. My family would love it.
Same!! No idea why it recommended this, but I ain’t mad about it! 😃
Isn't it just. The pool video suddenly appeared on my feed and just delightful. Wonderful to see 2 people who are down to earth and who love and appreciate the gem of England they are fortunate to live in and evidently cherish .
Its like we all wanna live like people in Downtown Abby, but what would it feel like in modern day time and era.. love it!
What a lovely couple they are, so genuine and interesting...Mapperton would be a great place for a murder mystery weekend!
That is a fantastic idea!
Love that idea
Absolutey!
OMG YES!!!
oooh that's a wonderful idea!
Something i would watch on netflix omg
Thank you for your kind words. Please consider subscribing if you haven't done so already 😊
As an American who has also married into an English family myself, I really love the energy Julie brings.
thank you!
"MAYBE!" Just maybe write a book about Alberta? Fascinating.
This was in my recommendations and I am so glad I clicked on this wonderful gem. Can not wait to see what adventures you guys get into. Greetings from Delaware
Also here from Delaware!
Hello from the cancer ward at Oklahoma medical center. So interested to see what you guys do next.
Hope you're better soon, thank you for your kind words.
sending good wishes from Melbourne Australia - having been Cancer free for more than 10yrs I wish you well and strength - in you and from your family and friends.
Julie, I used to watch you on the Ladies of Brittan. So glad to see you and your husband again on your own channel on UA-cam. You are so lovely and I hope you produce more content. Thank you for letting us in your home
Ladies of London. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladies_of_London
Greetings from California from your Montagu cousin. Being an American, I had to Google an Aga stove. I imagine having a stove that's always on is a real plus in England where the weather is so much colder. I could've used one in Bavaria where I lived while in the Army Medical Corps. I looked at new Aga's and I nearly had a stroke! The price is nearly as much as an economy automobile in this States. You've got a real treasure in your lovely kitchen 💖
Coastal California, at least middle and north, are great for Agas also. I loved the one I had in the house I built there. Unfortunately I decided I needed to buy a farm in coastal Oregon, so someone else is enjoying that Aga now...
Whew, what an intro! I started watching the pool cleaning video, because I just happened to catch a glimpse on UA-cam, and it was such an interesting story, culminating in bottles of beer and cider, that I immediately made a beeline for your first episode, which I've just watched. There are so many highlights, but I'll just mention those letters kept by a former countess. They must be so fascinating to read. Then there was a brief shot of the Earl perusing a very old book in what appeared to be the library. It would take months to read through just that one from start to finish. Luke asked what we would like to see and there's no limit of topics you could cover, but the one thing that rang a bell with me, as a foodie, was the mention of the cafe and its (then) impending reopening. As I am always thinking of my next meal, let us look around the cafe when it opens and see what the menu will have on it! Good luck with your enormous challenge and I shall now start watching the other episodes so far.
Thank you for your wonderful, detailed comment. We will be bringing plenty of foodie experiences to this channel soon. The cake making featured heavily in Julie's Diary Episode 2, so that will definitely be of interest to you. We hope you enjoy watching our future episodes.
I had to chuckle at Julie’s “poor boy” hat. I wore a red one similar to hers in 1967 here in the United States at the height of Beatlemania!
It’s a “newsboy’s cap”!
@@kathrynwitte3398 in the UK we call it a 'Bakers boy' cap! So interesting to see what different areas call it.
This is so charming and interesting. Julie has that not just American but, yoga teacher energy contrasted with Luke's very British kind of energy. It's all charming. Gonna be put on my list of glamping spots if that every gest up and running.
Thank you Emmanuel, we look forward to seeing you soon at Mapperton Camps! We've got an episode all about it coming up on the channel soon to whet your appetite...
Julie the warm air rises in every house so the best place to dry washing is up near the ceiling. I have a 'pulley' like that in my utility room in my 1980's built house even tho the ceilings are a lot lower, and it's amazing - not only does it keep everything up off the floor (unlike a standing airer) but things dry so fast I never need to use a tumble drier so it saves a lot of money!
It's kind of funny to see you and Luke hanging out in what used to be the 'servant's quarters' of the house - changed days indeed!
Btw the difference between the gong and the bell system is that the bell system was used by the family of the house to summon a servant to their rooms whereas the gong was used by the servants to let the family know meals were ready and to come to the dining room.
Yes indeed. That is especially true if the ceilings are high. I have had a dry rack for clothes hangers or draping damp sheets in a high ceilinged kitchen that was warm because of an Aga, or in reasonably high ceiling in a basement utility room warmed by nearby house furnice and hot water heater. Shaking out then smoothing cotton percale sheets hanging over a high pole means very little ironing....
@@d.annejohnson5631 it actually doesn't matter the height of the ceiling - whatever the warmth of the room the maximum warmth is always up at the top.
@@sallyannc3176 Of course Sally...but as I loved being able to put danp things on hangers, and large sheets lengthwise draped over a pole...it was nice to be able move under things! Sheets are ever so much nice laundered this way....drier heat kills them..and even if you have someone who will touch them up with an iron they are freshers and crisper hung up damp.
I love my washing machine,,,,but avoid drier...
Just ran across this. Saw the video on cleaning the pool and your first broadcast. Think I'm really going to enjoy watching you.
Welcome aboard!
Me to
What a lovely couple, I’m so glad your in-laws are joining the podcast
I'm glad to see them too. And if the younger generation joins in--all the better. Not contradicting you description, but why do you say Mapperton is "England's finest manor house?"
I'm so glad I found this channel. Have you ever thought of putting those letters into a book? Lots of historical buffs would enjoy reading the letters of a member of English Aristocracy. If you need work done, could you get University students that would work there to get credits. I think there was a place in Italy doing that, they would get students to come and stay in exchange for doing work and learning a skill specific to a point in time. I would find that fascinating and would do that for a holiday if I wasn't sick. I look forward to more videos, you both are very charming people.
You guys are delightful! I enjoy watching and imagining what it would be like in “real life”. You are so genuine, and I feel like you treat us, ( your viewers) as friends.
Thank you for your kind words. Please consider subscribing, if you haven''t done so already.
Julie, you've worked tenaciously to cultivate this, suddenly things burst into full bloom. May your efforts be rewarded.
A staff of ten seems quite minimal to run this vast property.
You all must pitch in alot.
It is braiding you together like a tapestry.
Hopefully there will be some talented artisans to create a documentary around repairing and supporting maintenance, problem-solving....
Exposure and Future stay as guests.
Much 👏👍🤗 to you as you are part of
The Solution.
Dear Jonathan, Hope you feel supported. Hope you feel a shift.Your reminder has been timely. Not the dating advice...
The sync of your Memorial week to Connor. During this time, I heartily relocated to NY from California. My Dad is in a hospital bed, dozing, but hearing a special program on Powerful by Faith. Even if he doesn't focus, subliminally he is aware of flowers,
Moms pic in gala days, and a working voice of the speaker, who he knows, and worked with years ago. Bottom line,
He feels supported. I wish the same sensation for you.
Have Faith in God's love. It's eternal. Nothing comes from nothing. Connor left his spot vacant,and it will be filled again, not by a replacement. By the living breathing health restored unique young man. God's creation.
All vestiges of this bizarre imperfect world will be wiped away.
Our Loving Father, perfect memory,goes beyond beyond.
No expiration date on his love, or power to restore his Creation, all in due time.
We are in such upheaval.
Thank you for encouraging all to look before leaping, and quit seeking validation through bed hopping. You are doing something that is protecting and raising awareness.
👍👏🤗🙏
Love to see Pippa ! And in a more recent video I've seen 2 other kitties...Thank you for welcoming us into your home at Mapperton ..and into your lives and hearts as well...PS: after watching your hot cocoa episode I'm off to the kitchen to brew up some for myself! CHEERS & Love from across the pond...Long Island, NY oxo
I enjoy watching this couple. It reminds me of my boyfriend and I. I can be quite chatty (American) and he is very reserve speaker (British). The way express themselves and the words they use. I can totally relate.
They are very lucky to have found each other. It is very nice to see that she embraces her husband’s history and the responsibility of the manor and the land. Staggering.
All the best. I’ve subscribed and will continue watching. I like history, historical landmarks, and a great couple who is modern and also rooted in deep and rich English-American history. Nice to see!
This is what reality shows should be based on. Enjoy watching how the two of you exchange ideas! & reach a positive agreement. All the best from the United States. 👍🏼🏡
What a splendid heritage! You are so blessed and privileged. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Athens Greece.
I just found your channel and am really enjoying watching. Your mention of Alberta Sturges caught my attention because Wilna Sturges Pierpont is my great grandmother. Apparently Alberta is my 3rd cousin. Talk about a small world!
Welcome aboard! That's amazing, small world indeed! Thank you for subscribing.
So lovely to be able to meet your sweet husband and get a peek at Mapperton! Such a brilliant improvement over the Real Housewives of London, who always treated you rather nasty! Well done and keep making these lovely vlogs with your lovely husband! Cheers!!!
My Grandmother had TWO Agas in her house in Greenwich, CT, in the US. the first one was from the 1930's (I think), once it got too old she replaced with another.
I have just come across this and I am loving it! I knew of the name Earl of Sandwich! Sadly I did not know where the family was based! I have thoroughly enjoyed this introduction to your family history even if it was a brief one! I find it fascinating how history is repeating itself! I just wish you all a prosperous life and it is lovely to be allowed into a bit if famous British (English) history! Thank you ever so much!
Welcome!
@@MappertonLive Thank you kindly
Would love to know more of the history of the family, I am possibly related to this family and so many more British families, and im an American! Its crazy how many families are all intertwined! In Uk and America!
It's not really that crazy considering it was British people who did most of the colonising in the USA.
How enjoyable! Really glad you guys are going LIVE :) From the US here, and it's just nice to sit down on a cold afternoon and listen to all the details of the beautiful estates over there. Really nice to hear about re wilding too! Looking forward to seeing more of the elegant quirkiness lol...
Our pleasure! Please consider subscribing to our channel for plenty more videos coming up every week.
So excited to have Luke join you, Julie! And yes, please, king-sized glamping beds. 😄
Today is May 21, 2021 and so far you have 33.8k subscribers, congratulations. Your channel will definately grow.
Thank you for your kind words
Its always been a fantasy of mine to stay in an old English house like yours, to be able to see all the fixtures and details and run my fingers over the old, intricate designs and windowsills. Also to walk outside and sit in the yard and take it all in.
I never would have put the idea together to mix that experience with yoga, but when you mentioned that idea it just works SO well, the calm beauty of the environment there with Yoga, it'd be the ultimate relaxing escape from this busy world.
I can just imagine spending a few days at a yoga retreat there, with my phone turned off, the outside world at bay.
Beautiful idea.
I can't afford it, I live on the West Coast if the USA and it would take a lot to even get there, but I know many people who can that I am definitely going to tell about this!
Best of luck to you both!
Top Aga utility - reviving poorly baby lambs in the warming oven! Also good for cooking stuff. 🐑
I'm just about 4 hours south of Chicago, very interesting series you both have started. My family heritage so I'm seeing starts in yorkshire and my wide starts in Belgium. You both are truly blessed to have something that has been passed down for so many years! Love it! Would truly love to visit sometime
This makes me want to cross the pond and visit England.
This is so interesting. I'm Hawaiian, living in Hawaii so it is fascinating to learn more about the Earl.
Awe you two are so cute! Thank you for sharing Mapperton with us! Your video about the swimming pool wound up in my feed and I couldn't be more grateful! Absolutely refreshing to watch content like this.. And Julie, your positivity and smile are incredibly infectious☺
Thanks so much! 😊
Hahah me too! I just finished watching the cleaning of the pool and carried on scrolling thru. Im not a live stream lover but there's so much more to see. Like this gem
@@sharonp3563 yes so refreshing! And they are so genuine, unpretentious.. And that property is gorgeous!
You two are adorable! Wish you all the best from Florida, USA.
Lovely, thank you for sharing! So special in this day and age of wifi instant everything. Plus, I'm in America also and while I can't actually speak for everyone, I do believe we are starved for real culture here. When I was a child in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, a little friend of mine when I was 8, who had recently moved there from England after being raised there from birth, moved with her family to an authentic English Tudor mansion in a famous area of that city known for it's provincial real estate, going back to the industrial tycoons that initially built them from the late 1800's on in the area. Her's was supposedly built from the exact blueprints of a dutchess' home in England. What I remember is how old and amazing it was, and also needing lots of work. But it was very special. Even though the historical homes need lots of work, they are worth it, if the funds and willingness is there.
Omg
Absolutely love you guys and your story!!!
Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers 🥂
As someone who lives in an old English house Julie maybe wear more layers on cold days or ar least a gillet. Great video an glad I found your channel.😃
That's what I thought, no wonder she's cold 😂
Imagine meeting a lad, going home to meet his rents, & rocking up here 😂
😂
And then wanting to change it all so it suits your 21 century modern yoga doing life style . I get she wants to feel at home amd put her own stamp on it
But you dont come to a castle and start covering up all of it's beautiful character and history with your modern bs . Like the bedrooms with all the old historic furniture and everything is beautiful and if the yoga doing smoothie eating americans dont like it because it's not boring and modern then they probably shouldnt be goi g to a castle for a retreat lol ,yes ofcourse putting in modern bathrooms is a must and the kitchen looks beautiful combine original with new .I guess the modern bedrooms though that dont have any old historic character are all up in the servants rooms ?
@@jessicaalexandra306 They want a way to keep the house, they need the money, what would you do? Just let it rot?
@@jessicaalexandra306 The bedrooms looked very timeless and traditional to me. Freshened up but they look like they belong there not farmhouse decor or modern. I do get that some bedrooms will be quite large and stately while others will be in the servants wing with two doubles. I think this will allow them to offer bedrooms to different peoples purses which I'm thankful for. I've seen too many historic structures get torn down and lost forever. I'm thankful they are giving of their time to preserve Mapperton and keep the history alive for all of us. It is a daunting task.
@@jessicaalexandra306 you are SO rude, ignorant of life in these big, old buildings and coarse! If you can’t say anything nice…..
I feel you will find your footing! This is wonderful to watch and making people a part of your life in such an historical estate. Thank you ever so much I really am enjoying this!
You're welcome, we're so glad you're enjoying our videos
Greetings from Chattanooga, TN, Julie! You've helped to revive the beautiful Mapperton! You are a National Treasure!
This is really awesome and I think you guys have a great potential to make a very interesting personal series about the estate, family, etc. I would love to see and here a more in-depth dive into the history of the family and the estate. Going to the very first heir forward, that would be incredibly interesting!! Love it!!
Thank you for your kind words. We have big plans for this channel, and the first episode of a series focusing on an in-depth historical tour of the house can be viewed here: ua-cam.com/video/kcc9nFB7YDI/v-deo.html
Subscribed! What better way to explore such an extraordinary strata of English culture, and one of the truly outstanding and historic manors of England, than through the eyes of a gal from Chicago? By the way, it’s perfectly normal to meet one’s future in-laws whilst tracking down escaped boars…
Thank you for your kind words Julian, we're glad to have you onboard!
Really interesting show and so good its not scripted just flow off each other.
Please continue to do cooking videos on the beautiful AGA! I would also love to see more of the kitchen garden and the process of planning and planting which vegetables you want to grow! Can’t wait for more episodes!!
The Phoenician Port reference in the motto is quite fascinating.
This is a gem. 💎
What a fun channel! Great ideas. It's making me think I want to come over from the USA and visit Mapperton. Best of luck with everything.
Please do when you are able to!
1st time viewer, from Canada 👋 🍁
So this channel popped up in my feed, and I'm glad it did!! It was the swimming pool episode and I was hooked right away. I loved the 'feel' of your video and subscribed straight away. Looking forward to taking this exciting, and I'm sure crazy, journey with you and your family 😊😊
Thank you Julie, so glad you could join us 😊
I am so excited for you! I wish you much success in all your projects. I loved the tours of the house, gardens and grounds you did last year. Thanks for sharing your home.
An entirely new type of channel for me, I'm going to enjoy this!
Rewatching in Jan. '22. I so enjoy your vlogs and learning about your life at Mapperton, Tuscany, etc. All the best in 2022.
Me too!
Just love Julie- very excited for this new series!
i love working in houses like this . I use to work as event assistant and done so many wedding's. I always loved walking around the house and see the history and owners have always something interesting to say. Wishing you so much success.
My Lord, My Lady
Thank you very much for the tour of your home. Its an amazing property. Im American also and I understand this is a problem that several of the stately homes in England are having now because of all the restrictions. I couldn't imagine the cost of upkeep? I am wishing you both the best luck. You two are positively charming......and if I may say Sir...Good show landing an American. The Viscountess is a breath of fresh air, Sir.
Respectfully
Taylor Hunter Overcash
Thank you for your kind words, Taylor. If you haven't done so already, please consider subscribing to our channel - this is just the beginning!
Brilliant, you deserve a huge pat on the back as this is very brave. I live in a similar situation and it takes buckets of money to keep an estate like this going. Well done!
All the best to you both. Hope you succeed in maintaining this great historic place! Loved it !!!❤️
Thank you for your kind wishes. Please consider subscribing to our channel if you haven't done so already.
I live in a listed building and have one of those Airer’s in my bathroom (10ft high ceiling) and all my washing is dried in there. It’s heated with one radiator and dries overnight. I have a tumble dryer and it’s been years since I used it last.
I live in a Manor House as well and like you it will be passed down to me when I’m older it has been in my family for hundreds of years and it’s starting to show it’s age part of the house was not used but it’s inherited on my mums side of the family and me and my mum are currently re designing around 10 rooms on the east wing/side
Our houses are kinda similar in architectural styles and looks inside can’t wait for the next video it was a great way to relax and watch
I have just seen this for the first time! Great filming! Can you show how you keep your home in order/organised? Do you have a china room? Does everyone have their own 'things to do' on a routine basis? Have you had a great throw out during lockdown? Do you do the vacuum cleaning/dusting? Full of admiration!
That pool dip was terribly entertaining and I really like your free association format. Structured but relaxed. Love it.
Thank you Colton 😊
So excited to see you both and Mapperton on UA-cam, thank you for sharing your time, the history and the real things you do with us.
Started watching your show. Love it and so much to learn.
Very lovely couple♥️
I love their Castle
I have just discovered your page and I'm hooked! I admire how innovative you are and how many diversified projects you have going. You are a lovely family who will surely be successful with your imagination and drive.
Thank you so much!
you two are an absolute treasure 💖💗💕 thank you for your amazing content and keeping this historic place alive ❤
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying our videos.
How exciting and what a lovely couple! I hope to visit your estate next year! My opinion, the beds should be queen size or bigger. I love gardening and would love to wake up to your beautiful property and enjoy a coffee followed up with an evening stroll through the property with a cocktail 🍸 😊
I love the enthusiasm you both have and the humor. I’m an American too Julie, and have always loved Britain. In fact both sides of my ancestry is British. I’ve always loved learning anything I can about the art, the architecture, the history, etc. of Britain. So glad too that you are so concerned with the wildlife on the estate. Everything you were talking about sounds like this will be a most exciting vlog to follow. I wish you both a lot of luck and good craftsman to help guide you through all that needs to be done. Believe me, as I recently went through here in the states, if you don’t have quality, honorable craftsmen it can get even more complicated.
Thank you so much! We are smiling reading this.
So happy to have discovered you guys! Looking forward to taking the journey with you!
I'm stoked for future episodes! YAY!
It’s wonderful to hear about your fascinating plans, which remain centered on your family. I’m originally from the Chicago area (Hinsdale). I’ve adored The U.K. since childhood. Julie you are living my dream! So thrilled that you share so much! Best success to a lovely couple!
ps just watched The Earl and Countess give a little tour from about 9 months ago. Oh my goodness what a completely delightful couple! I hope they are doing well.
I’m so excited for this vlog!!! Please consider doing gardening vlogs as well!
Grateful that YT recommended this. Fascinating and now I want to visit. Wonderful to see Julie so confident and happy since LOL
So excited for this!
Hello Julie from NY!!! I was watching your video about the many leaks you have. I don’t know if this will help you or not...but, you need to do the whole entire piping system with PVC piping. The reason why you have so many leaks is because when it’s being fixed, the other pipes are being moved around as well. With the PVC piping you won’t have the erosion cast iron pipes cause, which means the erosion is in your drinking water! Have your drinking water checked for all chemicals! Also, there is insulation available for you to wrap around your pipes so they don’t freeze. If you need to keep the cast iron piping because of the heritage rules, then run the new piping next to the cast iron. Another thing that will help you keep the home warm is... there is insulation which is installed by cutting a small circular hole in the wall and it blows the installation into the walls! All of this will keep your home warm, which will lower your heating costs & most importantly it will keep all of your many beautiful rooms and a antiques safe from leaks. I hope this helps! Much love from your homeland across the pond!
Such a lovely find today, I’m excited to learn about this journey and family.
Thoroughly enjoyed hearing you both share the history of the family and home. I love Julie's enthusiasm!! Love from Vermont
Love the vlog - look forward to more of them. 😎👍 You two are great together; as are the Earl and Countess.
You had me enthralled with the first episode I saw yesterday of you jumping into the swimming pool. (Brave woman!) I had to check out the series from the beginning. Thank you for sharing your journey. Seems a lot more fun than staring out my window at 3' of snow. Ha ha I'm already swooning over your gardens!
Sitting at home sick for a week I'm able to catch up on all your fabulous videos. You both make us feel very welcome into your home and lives. It's most interesting to see and hear about the challenges you must undertake to keep the old house running smoothly. Thank you for opening your doors to the rest of the world.
The house is lovely ☺️. Thank you for showing us the house.
You should give us a video dedicated to your paintings. An expert guest would be great - try Waldemar Janusczak, Bendor Grosvenor or Adam Busiakiewicz. I think their insights would be very interesting.
Lovely couple.going to be a wonderful journey to watch a piece of our countryside heritage
Well done look forward to more take care xxx
Already in love with your channel. Keep up the great work.
New subscriber from North Texas, USA. Your channel was recommended by a member of a Chateau Restoration group on Facebook. Wonderful and informative first video/vlog and I am looking forward for all coming videos.
Love this episode, I'm a newcomer to the channel, but your story is beautiful. I was born in Hammer Smith, London. Sailed with my parents to the island of Jamaica, and married an American and no live in America. I love the English countryside, British architecture, especially the grand old homes. Great channel for me.
And I thought the upkeep on my 110 year old house was bad.
Well done! Good luck!
Cheers and blessings on this new journey!!
Looking forward to this channel now. Excellent idea!
So excited for this!! Love seeing you both on camera and love hearing all about the house and family history. Yay!
YAY Another podcast to escape to via youtube -love it
This is a delightful channel, such a joy.
Yes yes yes. Delightful I agree. And so interesting. I love history ♥️ Your family is amazing. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
So looking forward to your episodes. I’m just a simple Central Illinois girl (Normal, IL) enjoying the stories and history that your estate holds.
Julie I watched you on your Bravo show and always loved you. You are the cutest couple and many blessings on your continuing adventure
at Mapperton. The property and mansion are just stunning..
Wow such a magical place.
I was never aware of this beautiful place.
So love your enthusiasm too.
👍🙂
Thank you so much 😁
Can't wait for your next episode. Subscribed! Cheers from North Carolina
