    I am so impressed how you took a somewhat bad situation and still made a very good, positive video! Says a lot about both of your personalities. Very positive and strive to always have a good outlook on life. I was crushed to see you cry Kirsten :( but Joerg is such a lovely man, comforted you and helped you to feel better. What an amazing couple you are! Still, I really enjoyed the video:) I really enjoyed the Mrs Crocombe skit...lol so funny :)

Anyway, you still provided us with a glimpse of the house and grounds, thank you :-) Is so sad how many Jacobean houses were dropped to rebuild in a later fashion. to my mind they are far more beautiful than most of those that came later. Maybe you will visi another Jacobean house in the future :-) xx

She is a mega wattage star of the 19th century! Thank you for yet another wonderful video. I watch each one trading in my New England daily life for a good ramble in the countryside with you. Cannot wait until the next adventure whether it's traveling, rambling, or decorating.

    “Mrs Crocumbe” said the smell of the copper cleaner made them go outside, so seems the staff was also quite aware there was a problem with a strong odor. It’s too bad they made excuses by saying there was no problem with the air. This was still an interesting video in part because of the problem. I’d love to know what would cause the petrol odor.

    Oh my goodness, the home was so beautiful and the grounds. I am just amazed at the history. I totally enjoy being around historical buildings. If only the walls could talk. I am glad they refunded your money. That is a lot for a weekend. There are times when it is necessary to let establishments know what you find to be unacceptable. My poor husband always left these things up to me. He always knew when I was not pleased with a purchase or experience and he would look at me and I would say "hun bun you might want to wait outside while I chat with....." They need to know when things are not as they should be. I totally get your disappointment. I would have been crying too. I am very sensitive although some think I am not. So sorry you had to leave early but I was glad to see the house and Mrs. Crocombe, how cool was that!
    Glad you made it home safely and looking forward to your next video.

I am glad that you made the decision to leave, as it does sound like there was definitely a danger for your health. And, I am glad you were recompensed and received apologies from English Heritage, which made you feel better. And, it was so nice that you got to see the estate grounds, kitchen, gardens, as well as, felt part of a favourite character’s drama, in person! Very exciting.

    You made the right decision when deciding to leave, first of all is health and well-being. In fact, in the previous video you could see that both you and Joerg did not have a good impression of the house, perhaps the energy was not very pleasant. The important thing is that both are well despite the disappointment with the weekend but other wonderful ones will come !!! Joerg as always a gentleman and a guardian angel! Cheers so couple !!!

    So true: not every travel experience is a fine one. This reminds me of the time my hubs and I rented a car for an autumn trip to Vermont--and the car was a lemon and kept breaking down. We hardly saw a thing, and to make matters worse, the leaves were already off the trees thanks to a freak storm. But you know what? The memories seem amusing in retrospect, another "adventure" shared by the two of us!

    • @KirstenJoerg

    Sorry for your experience, glad you are both okay - look on the positive side, you had a wonderful experience at Belvoir Castle and Audley End with Mrs Crocombe etc. I don't suppose the adverse publicity this video will bring to English Heritage will help them, but they have a legal Duty of Care to ensure that property the public uses, in any capacity, is safe and fit for purpose. I originally thought it might have been a carbon monoxide issue you had, but maybe not. I hope they paid some contribution towards your travel costs, fuel for a trip of that length would not have come cheap. Put it behind you and I hope you find another beautiful stay to share with us very soon. Take care. x

    • @KirstenJoerg
      @KirstenJoerg  4 роки тому +5

      Thanks so much! Yes, we loved Belvoir Castle and Audley End so much so that was lovely. We actually wanted to support a non-profit organisation due to pandemic because we know how much they struggle and never expected it would come to this. No, no carbon monoxide issue because you can't smell that (the moment you could, you would be dead). It came from downstairs where the lodge had the heating and there was something wrong.

    Well, I'm a new subscriber to your Channel. And I've been enjoying watching your past Video Collection. I'm very sorry about the fact that your stay was ruined. But with everything that's going on in the world. My philosophy is when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. You did the best that you could, and it was an experience that you'll always remember. You got to meet Mrs. C, and that's a wonderful thing. Keep the videos coming. You guys seem to be a very nice couple. Always remember that the best UA-camrs and channels. Are the ones where life is real. And things just happened. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Because that makes you more like real people. And that's something we can all relate to. Take care and God bless.

    Dear Joerg & Kirsten. Kirsten my heart broke when I saw you so upset. You were so excited about your 1st little getaway after months of lockdown😔. I have always admired the honesty that you both display and this just confirms that fact by showing your vulnerable side. How delightful that you saw Mrs Crocombe in the flesh that was a bit of magic in an otherwise awful experience plus that the gardens are absolutely awesome. Do hope that you both have a special weekend whatever you find to do. Blessings to you both🤗

I would have been too anxious to sleep in the building with the smell of petrol. And it does cause bad headaches. I'm so sorry that happened to you. But thank goodness English Heritage did the right thing and refunded the weekend. I hope your next trip is a happy and safe one--and nobody gets lost! Sending much love to you both, and thank you for all your dedication and work💗.
