POOL-HOUSE TURNED INTO A HOT SAUNA: If Julia loves her two minute cold immersions, then why not restore the pool house into a dry sauna to enhance the experience. That way Julie could run from the hot sauna and then jump right into the freezing water. Her capillaries would expand in the hot sauna and then contract once she jumps into the freezing water the way it’s done up in Finland. This greatly improve the cardiovascular system . Try this, yoga first, hot sauna, then freezing pool. Then repeat the process two more times. I do it myself. Also, thank you so much for the beautiful photograph of the two of you along with the sweet message written on the back. I’m one of your patrons and highly appreciate your kindness.
Have you considered doing a fundraiser with Luke jumping into the pool. I think a lot of people would gladly donate to see him do a cold immersion. Just a thought. Love from Vermont
I would donate to see that. (Not because he'll be in the swim trunks, I'm sorry.) When I have asthma flareups the first thing I turn to is the rescue inhaler. The next thing is that I get as cold as possible, it helps to cut inflammation. I swear by it.
You two are too adorable! I love your playful banter, reminds me of how my late husband and I would talk to one another. I love your home and how you are working to save its history!
Hi, I am writing you from Northern Canada. My granddaughter and I always do a polar dip at our cottage, every May long weekend. Sometimes there is still ice on the edges of the lake. Chelsea is my granddaughter and my name is Lorraine we have been doing this ever since she was about five now she is a woman. I totally agree with your wife about how it invigorates your body. Have a great swim I will be having a great swim this may long weekend. Love from Canada
A Welly Washer!! That's hilarious. But can't deny really useful. I'm so interested to see all the plants in the pool and Julie swimming amongst them. That is going to be simply gorgeous.
Barley straw is really good at helping to control algae. Just put some in some nets and you can mitigate some of the algae until you get your planters in place
You're getting close to 100K subscribers, keep up the great work! Our 50 x 20 x 10' pool was a beast to heat and maintain the water temperature at a minimum 27-28°C (80°F), a higher cost than to heat our home during the winter in southern Ontario. The ducks loved it when it was opened in early April each year.
I find myself logging in just to watch (and rewatch) this young old-couple 😂 P.S. love you both and your whole team and can't wait to see the pool in its full glory 🥰
You guys make a great couple! Your sense of humor, playfulness, even when you don't agree your banter is funny.. I know it sounds silly to say it but you guys are like a married couple who are also good friends. I never seen you fight although you have made references to disagreements. It just seems like the two of you are more important to each other then winning any disagreement. I'm in my early sixties and I wish I had examples like you and other people I've watch. I didn't learn anything from my parents. It's like watching little people shows and you guys that would have helped me be a better adult. But even with that I still learn from watching you guys and how to interact better with my children, family and friends. Thank you most people are probably learning how to do things on your channel and I'm learning how you treat people when I watch your Channel. It even goes towards people who work for you. I hope you have many many years together. Sorry Julie not trying to Aid you but I would love to see you with your first grandchild.
I LOVE the cat! The pool looks very clear and clean at this point. Both of you talk a lot and interrupt one another constantly, but I think we viewers kind of enjoy that - it's just the way you are! There are some good suggestions here about the pool house and sauna, do you think? The garden and old buildings are beautiful. Wish I were there!
The signs invite you in nicely. The pool will be beautiful when competed with aquatic plants. Love the boot cleaner and Luke’s manhandling his wellies clean. Lol. Julie’s swimming cap tops that one. You two are funny! Love it💕
It looks beautiful!!! You two keep me in stitches! You might have people interested in these cold immersions with a sauna in the pump room. I would be happy to immerse while staying at the Manor.
Julie, I was literally shivering watching you submerge. The things you do for Mapperton! Surely Luke fully appreciates what you've done. Still, make sure this goes into the Accounts Receivable column.
So happy for the history of Mapperton to have the pool restored, but especially for my American patriate Julie! I cold dip as well in my pool in the winter. Texas summers, not so much.
You do have lovely penmanship!! Love the wellie-washer, makes me think of something I saw advertised on pet websites to wash my dogs paws off before coming in the house from a walk. Wondering if I should give them a try 🧐
You guys are SO Funny!))) I LOve the music/songs picked n played throughout!))) It makes the show. Thank you for making us laugh n inspired through this pandemic. Love from across the pond Jacqueline
I think Luke really should try it, especially after all that work he did on the repairs! 🙂 I recently joined a group here in the north west coast of the US called Puget Sound Plungers. (We refer to it as 'cold plunging') I've been going several times a week and it really is amazing! After a couple of minutes or so you get used to the water and you don't feel so cold and then it's not so hard to stay in and when you get out you feel fantastic! Besides all the good health benefits.
Hi from New Zealand.Love your vlogs especially your cottage reno and italian cottage reno. Hmm have to agree that he does interrupt you a lot but you are so lovely about it ... which is great to see.
4-12-22 U S A You guys are just too funny!😂🤣😂🤣 Love Pepper the cat ( beautiful coat and fluffy tail), and the various other animals that are part of the Mapperton family. It's always nice to see them make an occasional appearance in your videos.
So glad Luke realizes you are a goddess and yes he should take a dip in the pool! It’s great for your lymphatic system. I don’t know many men that have the verbal skills that Luke has.( and I mean that in the kindest way)
I just came across your channel and love it - just the right mix of intelligence and humour. It's fascinating seeing the challenges you face and the beauty that surrounds you. Won't go cold-water swimming any time soon, but I love that Julie went for it! Living in western Canada, pretty much any outdoor swimming is cold-water swimming... Looking forward to watching more of your adventures. Cheers!
Going on a deep dive (pun intended) after everything I missed out on. Seeing as Luke would do anything for you, I guess that would include doing at least 1 cold emersion. Come on Luke! You can do it! Go for it!

I mean, I suppose it isn't their thing. But a sauna is a must.
No get infrared way better than a plane sauna
I think the room is big enough to have both a sauna and a changing area outside of it. It would be a great addition to the natural pool.
Brilliant :-)
Luke has such a great sense of humor
Have you considered doing a fundraiser with Luke jumping into the pool. I think a lot of people would gladly donate to see him do a cold immersion. Just a thought. Love from Vermont
I think that's a wonderful idea ! I'm willing to donate to see Luke swim in the pool !
Me too!
I LOVE this idea! I wonder with Julie thanks
Ohhh thank you for the laugh. I needed it this morning...
I would donate to see that. (Not because he'll be in the swim trunks, I'm sorry.) When I have asthma flareups the first thing I turn to is the rescue inhaler. The next thing is that I get as cold as possible, it helps to cut inflammation. I swear by it.
I'd like to see Luke in the pool, meditating, and having every cell to the fibre of his being, tingling!
You two are too adorable! I love your playful banter, reminds me of how my late husband and I would talk to one another. I love your home and how you are working to save its history!
Can you imagine how many views you would get when Luke takes his inaugural cold water immersion experience! I would certainly watch!!
I love the dynamic between Luke and Julia!

Luke is like my kindergartener, who MUST add a nose to all smiley faces, no matter who draws them 😂
Clearly Julie has the Midwestern Scandinavian genes.
From one wimp to another - Luke, I totally understand. Julie is so brave!!!
Can’t wait…LOVE how your channel is bringing Life back to Mapperton on Every level…Big fan of yours from Montreal!!🏊♀️🏖❤️
I love the kitty popping in and out of frame 😻❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful! The Countess was so insightful about the reflection! Elder wisdom right there 💐
Yes! you need to take a swim with Julie!
Julie is truly dedicated to her ice cold swims!!
But she didn't swim, so no wonder she remained so cold. She needed to move and swim, but she didn't. Go take another look
A Welly Washer!! That's hilarious. But can't deny really useful. I'm so interested to see all the plants in the pool and Julie swimming amongst them. That is going to be simply gorgeous.
A Welly washer....!!!!!! Ohhhh goodness. Xxxxx
I can appreciate what you are doing to be natural but I'll keep my warm clear California pool. I love the grounds and the gardens. It's just glorious.
Barley straw is really good at helping to control algae. Just put some in some nets and you can mitigate some of the algae until you get your planters in place
I don't normally comment but you had me laughing so hard in the pool scene that I had to say thank you ! You made my day
Thank you!
Julie, besides having good handwriting, you're sense of spacing is very good. Al lot of people couldn't do that.
It will be interesting to see if the pool gets less green when the plants get put in!
I love that! You two are so cute!
Julie: Are you really going to do that for me?
Luke: I would do anything for you!
What a darling “Duke in Training” you have the cutest Prince Charming. In stead of a pumpkin you have a pool.
Brave girl, Julie! That was a truly COLD emergence. So glad there is so much progress being made on the pool! Love your progress❤️
You 2 are hilarious! Love the banter…… thanks for the laughter. You’re crazy, Julie, delightfully so. Love from Sydney! ❤️😎
I agree. Love from Queensland.
The fact that you all have a dedicated rain boot washer speaks volumes to British life! 😁
Omg, listening to the two of you banter reminds me of the conversations I have with my husband. “No, I don’t - Yes, you do!” Hysterical! 🤣💕🤣
You're getting close to 100K subscribers, keep up the great work!

Beautiful handwriting Julie
😂 You and Luke are a dream team. 💖
Your channel is a lot of fun too, well done guys.

P.S. love you both and your whole team and can't wait to see the pool in its full glory 🥰
Congratulations on your pool repairs. Luke, your hilarious! Julie, you’re very brave. I haven’t done that since my 20’s.
Love your videos! I'm sitting here in my warm living room with goose bumps from watching Julie in that cold water! Keep up the good work! 😆
You two are meant for each other. Perfect couple! Adorable
You too together I swear you were cracking me up what a beautiful dynamic you have. Sending love to you and yours from Orlando Florida
The changing room sounds wonderful
So hysterical. He should enjoy a warming brandy while she swims. And maybe a Mr. Buddy Heater.
The two of you are hilarious 😂 I 💗💗💗💗 this !!!!
Julie is a jolly good soul!!! This is coming from one American to another!

Lol 😄 Julie, "Shut up❗❗" 😄 The two of you are great together ❤
We need a video of Luke enjoying a cool dip with Julie. After a much work put in, he deserves a good swim.
What a hoot laughed so hard ! You guys made my day !
I like Luke's addition of the "smiley face!"
I LOVE the cat! The pool looks very clear and clean at this point. Both of you talk a lot and interrupt one another constantly, but I think we viewers kind of enjoy that - it's just the way you are!

I love the house, pool and garden so much
It looks beautiful!!! You two keep me in stitches! You might have people interested in these cold immersions with a sauna in the pump room. I would be happy to immerse while staying at the Manor.
So normal and down to earth. Love watching 👀
Julie, I was literally shivering watching you submerge. The things you do for Mapperton! Surely Luke fully appreciates what you've done. Still, make sure this goes into the Accounts Receivable column.
😂
So happy for the history of Mapperton to have the pool restored, but especially for my American patriate Julie! I cold dip as well in my pool in the winter. Texas summers, not so much.
“Like a Goddess” is such a sweet comment. Very brave to get in the cold pool. The pool reminds me of Dr Darcy swimming.
You two are adorable and obviously super hardworking! Interesting Luke’s film background lends itself to this era of Mapperton. Gooooo Montagus!
I laugh so much at you two. The hilarity of how you feed off each other just makes my day. There is hope for married couples!
🌸You’re such a joy to watch😂❣️
Oh Julie, you are so brave! 🥶
We keep our pool in the high 80’s lol!
That cold dip in the restored pool...better you than me Julie!!! Pool is looking really nice. Love the Wellington washer. Great video.
NO kidding, Julie, you have BEAUTIFUL handwriting!!!
Julie, Luke is right. You have good handwriting - neat, but fun and with character - a lot like your personality 😄
Such a lovely couple 🥰🥰🥰
Is the cat who follows you around Pippa? I love seeing her in all your videos, she always right there! She loves her family and her wonderful home.
Good job you tough lady!! I can’t wait until the pool is finished…exciting!! Yes the Englishman should swim.
You do have lovely penmanship!! Love the wellie-washer, makes me think of something I saw advertised on pet websites to wash my dogs paws off before coming in the house from a walk. Wondering if I should give them a try 🧐
my 14tg great grandfather was born 1400's and died in Felsham... can't wait to come see England. !
You guys are SO Funny!)))
I LOve the music/songs picked n played throughout!))) It makes the show.
Thank you for making us laugh n inspired through this pandemic.
Love from across the pond
Jacqueline
The dark and light in this video is quite phenomenal!
U2 r the new Ralph and Alice Kramden ( Julie will get the reference) ,love u guys !!!!
“A welly washy” well thats brilliant. ❤️🇬🇧
congrats YOU SURVIVED !!!
Julie is incredible to say the least. ❤️🥂
Wow, Luke - almost 100,000 subscribers! Yay! Love this channel!
I think Luke really should try it, especially after all that work he did on the repairs! 🙂 I recently joined a group here in the north west coast of the US called Puget Sound Plungers.

Hi from New Zealand.Love your vlogs especially your cottage reno and italian cottage reno. Hmm have to agree that he does interrupt you a lot but you are so lovely about it ... which is great to see.
Bravo!!! This show has gone from a cute UA-cam video to a full fledged production. Brilliant!!! Absolutely!
Both of you are too funny!!!!! I love how how get along so well!!!!!!
Luke you are such a kind very smart man. Love your Heart!

U S A
You guys are just too funny!😂🤣😂🤣
Love Pepper the cat ( beautiful coat and fluffy tail), and the various other animals that are part of the Mapperton family. It's always nice to see them make an occasional appearance in your videos.
1. Julie is one plucky lady in that pool. 2. What??? Wellie washers exist???!!! (I’m from Los Angeles 😂)
I do feel the pain of dipping in cold water, if only in my mind! Julie you do keep me smiling. Oh, where can I purchase a coat like yours?
So glad Luke realizes you are a goddess and yes he should take a dip in the pool! It’s great for your lymphatic system. I don’t know many men that have the verbal skills that Luke has.( and I mean that in the kindest way)
I just came across your channel and love it - just the right mix of intelligence and humour. It's fascinating seeing the challenges you face and the beauty that surrounds you.

Thank you so much!
Love you two! You are hilarious.
Love your channel! My kids and I really enjoy watching your videos. Waving Hi from Orlando, Florida!
Going on a deep dive (pun intended) after everything I missed out on. Seeing as Luke would do anything for you, I guess that would include doing at least 1 cold emersion. Come on Luke! You can do it! Go for it!
Good heavens! I live in Southern Spain and you wouldn't get me in our pool yet!
Only you Julie can put up with him.... enjoy seeing you, your family and home
YES the Viscount SHOULD take a small dip. Julie you are such a brave girl.
OMG Julie,you are nuts! Wild horses cld not drag me into that frigid,green morass!😱😱Dig the shower cap!
Good morning you two! Thanks for explaining……
My favorite part: "Sun's out!" 😃
3/4's of a second later: "It's starting to rain." 😑
I love every time you say, "I'm not crazy."
i can't stop laughing. The double screen conversation is priceless.
Julie you are so brave to get in that water
This might be the return of the " bathing cap" !!!
I tried cold immersion and i know it actually hurts! Much respect Julie...i am very jealous of this pool and i cant wait to see the plants in there!
The pool should have its own UA-cam channel
Been waiting for this video for over a year, can't wait 🌊🩱👍🏻
Julie has pretty and stylish hand writing
Hysterically good fun to watch, how brave is Julie?
