Hello! I am an American and I never noticed your "Americanisms"...just your lovely English accent. I would adore a Q&A session so here is one vote for it.🇬🇧❤🇺🇸
Hi! Haha I don’t notice them either but perhaps that’s because we both use them 😂 I think it’s fellow English folk who comment on it as it’s unusual to hear certain words coming from someone with an English accent. I don’t realise many but I know Peter always picks up on trash instead of bin, sidewalk instead of pavement, eraser instead of rubber, whiteout instead of tipex, gas instead of fuel 🤣 Thanks for the q&a vote ❤️ any questions, feel free to leave them here. Have a lovely weekend!
HAHAH! I get you. I do notice the word differences when I watch other British shows like the Great British Baking Show and Portrait Artist of the Year...but I haven't with you and I suppose that is because I am so used to hearing those words used here across the pond.... Anyhow, I do want to know if you teach History because you know so much about the properties and Trusts, the Lords and Ladies of the Manors and the flora and fauna of each area you travel to.@@theslowtravelsfamily
Q - would you ever think about putting together a guide of recommendations for someone visiting? Going to the UK is a bucket list item of mine and I love seeing all the places you visit - especially the hidden gems!
I would love a q & a video. I'm curious about what day-to-day life is like in a small countryside village. Shopping, schools, social life, employment, health care, groceries... to name a few. Would love to hear.
Thank you so much 🥰🙏 and for taking the time to watch them! I’m a photographer, working mostly with tourist boards and hotels so thankfully I get to travel around a lot. In regards to places I recommend to visit,they’re the locations I share here 😊 although there’s lots more I haven’t yet had the chance to create videos for! I’m working on creating guides to each county of all the places I recommend which I’ll be releasing slowly later in the year as and when I can get them ready 💛 hopefully you get the chance to visit more places in the UK! Happy weekend 🐣
I am American and I love watching many many vlogs from England which has resulted in me using so many words I often hear in them - but not "on purpose." The other day I used "chuffed" in a FB post and when I went back to read it before posting I was surprised. However I didn't take it out, I put (pleased) after it so my friends would know what it meant. Chuffed is not a word you EVER hear where I live but I hear it often on vlogs. I like it though!
Haha I love how we pick up language from those we listen to/are around. Chuffed is such an English word!! I don’t think I’ve ever heard it used anywhere else. Maybe your friends will unintentionally start integrating it into their daily vocabulary too 🥰
I can’t remember fully how it looked other than the house! I’ll need to rewatch again 🥰 that’s one of my favourite tv adaptations ever! I can’t even remember how many times I’ve watched it
Hello Dear! I'm American too, though Dad's father was born and raised in Nottingham. Anglophile from way back (started watching Masterpiece Theater when I was 14), but I don't notice your Americanisms either. The pronunciation can vary as well, especially for folk who have regional accents or use a lot of slang. I recall first hearing Elton John songs, and was confused when quay sounded like "key" and garage like "garridge", lol. I adore Tudor homes, and the ceilings and floors in that first one are phenomenal. Even my husband was impressed with a 1632 copy of Shakespeare in one's library. I like that your videos always leave me wanting more. You are delightful. Would love to see a bit of what you experienced in Ireland. It's a rainy, windy Easter here in Southern California, which is actually a treat after years of drought and heat waves. Cheers!
I'm surprised you kept your English accent after so long in an American school. That's lovely. I thought you just worked there a few years but you actually grew up there. Amazing. I am an American and I have lived in UAE for over 30 years. Do you ever visit Saudi? Did you keep any connections from your time there? So interesting!
I'm delighted you spent so much time lingering with the daffodils because they are only blooming for such a short window of time. The house will be there for an anticipated future visit.❤
It looks like Rosings, Catherine De Burg's house in the 1995 adaption of Pride and Prejudice. My favorite adaption for what it's worth 😊 Maybe I'm wrong though. Edit: I knew it!! Hehe I just got to the part where you told us this little tidbit 😅
Absolutely loved this beautiful video. I never picked up on your 'Americanisms' as I always found your accent delightful and just enjoy hearing you speak. You have had such an interesting and fortunate upbringing, being exposed to travel, other countries and cultures has informed everything you do including your wonderful videos. Would love a Q & A. Thanks for sharing. Love from Australia.
Hello, I would love a Q&A if you can. I enjoy your video so lovely, esthetic with a good music and as I’m French, I improve my English with you. Have a good week and take care.🌷💕
I can appreciate your lingering in the garden. It's always a joy to see the places you visit and hear the history. Your narration is so clear and well paced! Of course the family trips are fun with Heidi and her explorations. Re the q&a, I've always been inclined to get to know the creator over time, as he/she feels like sharing something, as you did in this video in regards to your schooling. Thanks again for sharing.💕
Pure magic! I loved the daffodil gardens and your style of presenting the inside of the old houses. I'm sure I can feel the ghosts of the inhabitants from days gone by.
I Love Charlecote Park, one of the nicest country mansions in the UK. The Lucy family had excellent taste. The beautiful little panel shown at 3.23 is an example of the uniquely Italian art of "pietre dure" (hard stones). It consisted of marquetry work using marble and semi-precious stones. It originated in Florence in the XVI century and is still practised today. Just a question; why didn´t you film inside Belton House? Wasn´t it allowed?
It’s a lovely house! Yes!! The NT volunteer I was talking to said that particular piece was incredibly expensive and rare and came from Florence. It was brought over to England and there was a bidding between the King and the time and the Lucy family. Ultimately the Lucy family purchased it and it’s still in the home today! As to Belton house, I did mention at the end of the video but the house was closed when I visited and was opening this weekend so I’ll have to return and film inside the house and orangery ☺️ Belton will make an appearance again soon! Happy weekend ❤️
@@theslowtravelsfamily Thank you very much for your kind and prompt reply. I wish you a lovely weekend and a happy second visit to Belton House. Regards! 😍
Hi from Canada. Grew up in Hampshire and love your channel. It brings back all the splendor of the countryside I love. Please keep traveling. Heather. Ontario. 5:42
15 degrees. Is too warm? You lot must have something we don't 15 degrees I'm in parkas and wool socks. Burrrrrrrrrr. It doesn't look cold. It should be about 70 looks like maybe 80. ...I'm in texas it's 91 here today. And summer has just begun. Phew
I love your videos and the slow pace. You have an artist's eye and the background music and nature sounds are the BEST! I hope people aren't complaining about how you speak..... I think your contributions in these difficult times are sorely needed, especially for the Anglophiles and lovers of nature and history who cannot "be there". Thanks for taking us along! ❤
Greetings and salutations from 'across the pond', as I've heard it said! I am an American as well and was rather surprised when you mentioned 'Americanisms', I didn't even notice, totally went over my head. I do want to personally thank you from the very bottom of my heart, that you don't swear, curse, or make oaths in your videos. There's so much of that on the internet that it's positively exhausting. I absolutely love your videos! I'm a big Tudor and English cottage fan and it's a delight to watch these tours. Keep up the marvelous job! God bless you!
I think you talk and speak really well, don't listen to them, your voice is very relaxing to listen to, your doing a great job on your videos ❤

Hi, I'm American and I don't think I could identify any differences, however the only thing I can hear is a lovely accent😊

I was about to comment this same thing! Haha never noticed. And would love a Q&A 😊

Precioso, hay que conservarlo es parte de su historia. Muy interesante.

I have found myself using it now and again - it's such a useful word!
So lovely, thank you so much for sharing .
Hope you enjoyed these lovely locations 🥰
Seeing "Rosings" with different topiary from what appeared in 1995 on P&P is so amazing!
I can’t remember fully how it looked other than the house! I’ll need to rewatch again 🥰 that’s one of my favourite tv adaptations ever! I can’t even remember how many times I’ve watched it

Beautiful peaceful joy!
Just curious ...what work /job do you have?
I’m a photographer working in the travel industry, working predominantly with tourist boards and hotels
Thats a question for her future Q&A...I would like to know also. My guess is Historian???
Beautiful Spring and beautiful footage. I'm from Connecticut and not sure what "Americanisms" are but interested in examples!!
I've always found you to be English !! So the remark is quite a surprise. I wonder what they're referring to???
Hello, I would love a Q&A if you can. I enjoy your video so lovely, esthetic with a good music and as I’m French, I improve my English with you. Have a good week and take care.🌷💕
The spring gardens are very stunning! Beautiful daffodils, so very bright for spring. ❤
They really are 😍 So much colour!

Thank you for such a lovely comment! I prefer to get to know people naturally over time as well ☺️
Pure magic! I loved the daffodil gardens and your style of presenting the inside of the old houses. I'm sure I can feel the ghosts of the inhabitants from days gone by.
Loved this, as always.
Thank you! 🥰 happy weekend

Muy hermoso , gracias por compartir lugares tan especiales , saludos desde León, México ❤
I somehow missed this last week. So beautiful and peaceful. Have a safe trip to the continent.
Thank you! We’ve been having an incredible time around Normandy 🥰🇫🇷 I can’t wait to start editing the videos and sharing!
Wow lovely places Stace! Those paintings are stunning and so were the flowers. So peaceful ☺️ Happy Easter Stacy! Xx
Really lovely locations! Happy Easter!! 🐣🌼💛
I know what you mean about the paintings, I could literally spend hours and hours gazing at each one.
Yes q&a
Absolutely Stunning Video.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

Great!! Please feel free to drop any questions below and I’ll try film one over the next few weeks 🥰
What music is played in the background of your videos? It is beautiful!
