It definitely would be great but then they couldn't relax at all. Not worth it maybe. Keep it simple. That's what I think we love about it. I know there is a lot of work behind this channel and all but I would feel bad if you changed your lovely lifestyle for one more TV show on the market.
Have a wonderful time with family and friends and thank you so much for sharing glimpses of Chester...your videos give your viewers a chance to ecpand their horizons, to see wonderful places many never heard about before you both shared a visit there! It is like being an explorer and you put a personal touch and "a gentle bit of cozy" into everyday life with the recipes, the lovely china and your personal touches of home. Cant wait to see if you bring back little teacups or other beautiful mementos of Germany. (Instead of t-shirts from vacations, I go to thrift and antique stores...and local garage sales whenever I am on vacation and find amazing teacups and teapots, hand embroidered pillowcases, antique lace tableclothes, beautiful serving dishes or candlesticks...and all cost less than the pricy souvenir shirts or trinkets! ) I sit on my back porch, enjoying using my little treasures and wonder how many stories and secrets were shared during tea and if the little linen tablecloth with bluebirds hand embroidered on it was only shared on special occassions of celebrations of good news or did two old friends sit there many times thru their years of friendship, sharing good and bad times together, with the little lovely tablecloth bringing comfort and hope of better endings ahead. Hope you find happiness and little treasues along the way in your journeys!
Hello from North Carolina (USA). I found your channel beginning with your cottage tour and just love your warm, welcoming style. Visiting the UK is something I dream of, and now Devon is on my list. Thank you for sharing your lives with us on here. Melody B in NC
Your videos are the best medicine ever!!! I just smile and laugh and get the utmost enjoyment out of the two of you and your fabulous adventures!!! In a word, (okay, 2 words), I would describe you & Joerg as utterly charming & delightful. I'll anxiously await your next video!! XO
Ahh. I have been so busy lately I have missed watching you two. You are so genuine on your channel. Sometime I when the environment gets so toxic over here , I need to see your faces and hear your calming voices and know there is normalcy out there. It is nice to see there are people who still honor their history and country.
Kirsten and Joerg, this was lovely thank you. Have a safe journey to Germany and a wonderful time with your families and, Happy Anniversary to your dear parents!
My husband was born in Middleton and he still has family there in the Chester and North Wales area. The last time we visited it was in over 30 degrees C. There were no fans to be found in the stores. You renewed my memories of visiting Chester although the streets were more crowded at that time. You have really lifted my spirit today. Thank you so much! God bless you and keep you safe.
I'm so happy for you!!!! Have a safe and happy vacation. Congratulations to your parents on 50 years!!! The architecture in Chester is beautiful i can see why you love going there!!!!
Good day, dear friends! I enjoyed this video because our daughter who lives in Liverpool, took my husband and I to visit Chester three years ago. A beautiful historical city! Next year is our golden wedding anniversary so we will celebrate with our family here in Alberta Canada!
Ooooo Kirsten and Joerg how lovely for you to go home and see your family and I know a little bit of how exciting you must be, as I am going to see my small grandchildren next week and I have not seen them since February. Please please if you have time I would love to see the places in your country and maybe a little of your family? Good luck and have a really lovely time while you are there. Take care and come back safe.
Thanks so much, you must be so excited too. We try to film a bit of our area, however I don't think of our family as we want to keep their privacy (hope you understand; not everyone wants to be on the internet, my parents might be fine though). Have a safe trip as well.
I grew up in Chester and after a long time away I recently came back to live. I take this beautiful city completely for granted but watching your video today has reminded me how lucky I am to live here again. Thank you for helping me see my home town with fresh eyes, I'm planning to take a day to go sightseeing soon! Have a wonderful trip to see your families at long last. Looking forward to your next video 🥰
Don’t worry about getting a video out for us. We all are so happy and excited for you both to go “home” to your family. Kirsten, when you said it’s so hot you thought your face was melting I couldn’t help but laugh out loud! Why that struck me as so funny, I’m not sure! But funny it was! Take care and happy planning for your exciting trip! Mary
Wonderful how exciting for you both to share in the celebrating your parents 50th Anniversary. Happy Anniversary to your parents Congratulations. Thank you for sharing your wonderful salad and Chester .
Feta cheese of course is Greek. It's a delicious refreshing salad🍉, mint good in all summer salads, bean salads whatever! My grandparents lived in Chester and whenever we visited from the south of England as a young girl, grandad always took us around the great Roman city walls and then onto the river Dee to feed the swans🦢 Enjoy seeing your family again 👫and would love to see where you grew up🏞️
Chester looks really beautiful and your summer salad looked delicious! (It was my parents Golden Wedding anniversary last year and I am also 50 this year Kirsten! Your videos have really helped me embrace it :) thank you, you are very inspiring)
I love Chester too. In fall of 2019 I was in a pub watching football which was below the street level. They experienced flooding and in the pub, water was coming up through the pavers/flagstone. I'll never forget it.
Kirsten I hope your parents have a wonderful 50th anniversary. Glad you get to see them. I'm looking forward to seeing some video of your hometowns. I have not been to Germany but I have a lot of German heritage. We have good friends who are from Germany they are from Wiesbaden. Hope you have a safe trip. Cheers
I❤ the video. I love Chester. Lots of Tudor and medieval age buildings, with modern shops in them. That is so wonderful, people in England love there history, and don't tear down a building, because it's really old, but repurpose them. I could so see myself relaxing on a bench in the church courtyard.
I love rainy days and if they come with thunders the better. I live in Los Angeles, California and we do not get rain so often. 😢 Congratulations on your parents wedding anniversary💕💕 Thank you for showing us a little bit of Germany.
Goodness, that is indeed very warm for you there in England! We are having a terrible heatwave here in the SF Bay Area, too - 110 F (about 43 celsius) today! Air-conditioning is a must here... too hot to leave the house, though. Thank you for the little tour of Chester - it looks sooo lovely! And how nice to still live not too far away. Wishing you both a wonderful trip to Germany next week.... stay safe, you two!
Thanks so much Lauren-Miranda! Yes, the British can't deal with extreme heat lol (or snow which really doesn't happen where we live so that's good). 43 degrees Celsius is crazy, wow, definitely better to stay in. Stay cool!
Loved seeing Chester always been my favorite city since I went on a school trip in the early 1950s, last time I was home in England, 2015,I spent a day there. Enjoy your time in Germany with family.
In France we have hot hot hot .I eat as well salade but the vegetables from my garden.Tomatos, green beans , courgettes and red beet .It's delicious .Thanks for the recipe of your Salad.
Chester is lovely, we had friends who lived there a long time ago. Well worth a visit again. Enjoy your trip home. Hope your mother and father’s Golden wedding Anniversary gives you lots of happy memories Kirsten. Stay safe.
I really enjoyed this video. I actually have a cousin that lives in Chester. Sadly I haven't seen him since I was a child and my family emigrated to Canada in 1963. Thank you for showing this video.
So happy y'all are able to spend some time with your family back in Germany. I'm very much looking forward to seeing your home country and hopefully some of your family members won't mind sharing themselves with us!
Chester looks fascinating! I hope to see it one day. I am so happy that you will soon be reunited with your family. Be safe & enjoy! 🥰 to you and your families! -Courtney
Chester is beautiful in The Rows there is a lovely Christmas shop and in the Cathedral there is tea shop . Have a safe journey to Germany and enjoy your families xx
Thank you for the glimpse of Chester. It is very beautiful. Have a safe journey and a wonderful visit with your family and friends. Take pictures and do a video explaining where photos were taken and of what they are. Kind of a pictorial view of your hometown.
Hello The salad looks delicious I love watermelon ❤😋❤Thanks for taking me on your walk with you 2 how beautiful 🍁🍃🍂🌿 Have a Blessed Day 🍁🍃🍂🌿🍁🍃🍂🌿☕☕🍁🍃🍂🌿🍁🍃🍂🌿
Thank you so much for sharing Chester with us. It was quite wonderful! Enjoy the visit with your family. My husband and I have recently had the pleasure of a visit from our daughter, son in law and our two little grandsons. It was so great and much needed especially during these uncertain times. My best to you both for a wonderful and safe journey!
Wow Chester is so Beautiful!. You can feel the richness of history there. Thank you for sharing!. Everything there has so much culture and history which I love. Germany how exciting is that...I'm excited for you.... enjoy the time spent loving up your family... stay safe ..safe travels ..much love 🇨🇦🤍
Hello from Australia again. We had a very hot spell last year. One day it got to 45.7 Celsius. I guess you would have needed aircon then 🤣🤣😂😂. I had all the dogs inside in the aircon. We also had water sprays going for all our birds and the local wild birds came in too. Our covered verandah was full of king parrots, honey eaters , butcher birds and lorikeets. They would never have shared space before. The extreme heat did it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi! Hahah yes though I have to say, I lived in Egypt and we hardly ever used the aircon there and always preferred a fan (and kept the house dark). Oh yes most definitely, despise the extreme heat it must have been nice to see all the birds together.
Oh my I loved Chester! I would love to see it in person one day! The candy shoppe looked so sweet! I am so happy for you guys that you are going to see your family! I cannot wait to see those videos! I make that salad too! I add just a touch red onion! If you don’t have mint on hand basil taste delicious too! Looking forward to your next video! Take care you too!😘
Hi Kirsten and Joerg, I hope you have a lovely time back in Germany and god speed back to us in UK, we love you very much. I went to Germany on a school trip back in about 1977, stayed in a hotel just outside Traben-Trarbach, I absolutely adored my time in Germany, I was 15 at the time (omg 40 yrs ago lol). I hope to go again someday, maybe tour Germany not just stay in one place. Take care and have fun🙂 Best wishes from Wigan xx
So happy for you that you are getting to go to Germany to visit family. So looking forward to seeing where you both grew up!! Enjoyed this video very much..... I am so happy that you share your adventures with us as coming from someone who has never even left the US and being older then you both, chances are I will never see these places in person but watching your videos is the next best thing! Safe trip and looking forward to many more adventures! Thank you!
I am really not a city-person, but Chester could change my mind! It looks so beautiful, all these gorgeous old houses! Architecture was definitely way more creative in the earlier days. I'm looking forward to see the video about visiting Germany. I live in Thüringen, and I am curious how you see differences in "pandemic" times between England and Germany. Have a great trip and enjoy being with your families!
Have a WONDERFUL trip home! Thank you for showing us all this lovely city, so full of architectural history, so beautiful! I was in wonderment! Kirsten, you must hear this all the time, but I have to say it. All my life I’ve heard the phrase English rose, or skin like the women of England. Well, you certainly have such beautiful skin you fit the definition! Again, enjoy being with family, we all look forward to seeing glimpses of the places where you each were raised!
Thanks so much! Awww hahah so kind but I'm not English so not sure that the English rose term would apply to me but it's a wonderful compliment, thank you.
@@KirstenJoerg habt Ihr einmal einen Tortellini-Mozzarella-Tomaten-Salat mit grünem Pesto probiert? Einfach nur genial. Besonders klasse fürs Büro als Lunch. Passt auf Euch und Eure Familien auf, wenn Ihr hier seid. Die Zahlen steigen leider an im Moment
I do this recipe all the time summer in Tasmania means cold salads are a staple for 4 months of the year I do variations on this sometimes Ill add a small amount of marinated black olives sliced for a salty addition and another variation is adding halved strawberries and marinated goats cheese fetta which is creamier than ordinary fetta. If its marinated you can use the marinating oil as the oil in the dressing. But delicious salad this one is indeed. :) Chester is beautiful have a lovely holiday with your families keep safe you two.
I look forward to making your salad. I have lots of mint growing in my garden, nice to have fresh mint. I hope you have a wonderful time back in Germany please pass on our best wishes to your parents on their anniversary. The 50th is truly one to celebrate 🎉 Juergen are they new glasses? They look very good on you. I would love to see some video of your time back in Germany 🇩🇪. I know what it is like to miss family. I live in Canada with my husband and daughter (both are Canadian) but I miss all my family still back in England. In fact I miss the UK 🇬🇧 Have fun you too and stay safe. Have a safe trip! See you when you get back. Best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much Carole, can totally relate and it's hard not to see the family. Nothing beats fresh mint, it smells divine and love fresh mint tea too. No, Joerg doesn't have new glasses, he has 2 pairs so he can switch.
This is a great salad that I have made before and added black olives as well. You are right--so very refreshing! Looks wonderful. Have a wonderful time in Germany!
Hello, Kirsten and Joerg!Thank you for this lovely video!Such a beautiful city!Have a wonderful time with your families and happy anniversary to your parents!
So glad you like it Tonya, thank you! I'm sure you would love Chester if you were to plan a visit, it's so charming. And thank you so much. See you very soon.
Oh that is happy news to see your family again and celebrate a Golden Anniversary with your parents Oh Chester is beautiful love all the old buildings Have a lovely break 🥰
We've had such hot (30 C), muggy, humid, rainy, & stormy weather this week, that we don't like to eat much at this time, either. Mostly raw, like salads, but I did make a hummus, that is served cold after cooking w/ pita chips, carrots, or other veggie strips. We have lots of iced herbal teas, too. We have a/c, but I prefer to sit out on the back, screened-in porch, even if it makes me sweaty, as sweat is the body's natural way of cooling itself. So, even here in Durham, NC, usa, we have similar experiences. Have such a wonderful trip! Blessings! Q
Thanks so much! Love hummus too, just the best in the heat to have a lovely salad. When we lived in Egypt where it gets extremely hot in the summer (but not too humid which is good), we still drank hot tea during the day just like the Egyptians and it actually helped to cool down afterwards. Hope you're having a good weekend.
So exciting you are going to see your families...have a wonderful visit ..safe travels...looking forward to seeing where you grew up....been to Chester years ago...so much history there...thanks for taking us on a tour of the city
Thank you for showing us Chester. I’m looking forward to visiting there myself. I hope you have a safe and wonderful trip home. Looking forward to seeing you soon xx
So love your videos. Whether you're going to a beautiful location, or just staying home informing of the progress on your lovely home, or cooking something delicious, it's a special treat. Best show on "TV" 😊
I am so happy for you, visit your parents is a gift for the soul, hope you enjoy a lot all, your families and friends. I loved the recipe, and the city is like from a fairy tale, thank you so much.
Kirsten and joerg should have your own programme on TV you are so special and interesting with all your episodes here
I agree with you.
Was just thinking that
I totally agree!
It definitely would be great but then they couldn't relax at all. Not worth it maybe. Keep it simple. That's what I think we love about it. I know there is a lot of work behind this channel and all but I would feel bad if you changed your lovely lifestyle for one more TV show on the market.
I agree.
Chester is still on my "to visit" list; it looks amazing.
It really is!
I'm Greek!!! Feta and watermelon is a great compilation!!!
Have a wonderful time with family and friends and thank you so much for sharing glimpses of Chester...your videos give your viewers a chance to ecpand their horizons, to see wonderful places many never heard about before you both shared a visit there!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos 🎉
You're the best!
I love, love, love Chester. I have been blessed to go there three times, so far. I live in Canada. Thank you so much for sharing your video.
Toasted walnuts would be good in the salad.
The mother & her little ducklings were so adorable & such a sweet treat!! It was such a perfect moment. Thank You!!
Yes, we loved that too!

My husband was born in Middleton and he still has family there in the Chester and North Wales area. The last time we visited it was in over 30 degrees C. There were no fans to be found in the stores. You renewed my memories of visiting Chester although the streets were more crowded at that time. You have really lifted my spirit today. Thank you so much! God bless you and keep you safe.
Yes, of course streets weren’t busy because of the pandemic.
I'm so happy for you!!!! Have a safe and happy vacation. Congratulations to your parents on 50 years!!!
The architecture in Chester is beautiful i can see why you love going there!!!!
Thanks so much Janet!

Please please if you have time I would love to see the places in your country and maybe a little of your family? Good luck and have a really lovely time while you are there. Take care and come back safe.
Thanks so much, you must be so excited too. We try to film a bit of our area, however I don't think of our family as we want to keep their privacy (hope you understand; not everyone wants to be on the internet, my parents might be fine though). Have a safe trip as well.
I grew up in Chester and after a long time away I recently came back to live.

Hi Kirsten and Joerg, I hope you have a lovely time back in Germany and god speed back to us in UK, we love you very much.

So happy for you that you are getting to go to Germany to visit family. So looking forward to seeing where you both grew up!! Enjoyed this video very much..... I am so happy that you share your adventures with us as coming from someone who has never even left the US and being older then you both, chances are I will never see these places in person but watching your videos is the next best thing! Safe trip and looking forward to many more adventures! Thank you!
I'm so happy for you guys getting to go home and visit family, I can tell you can't wait! That was a beautiful village. Thanks to the both of you ❤👍
I am really not a city-person, but Chester could change my mind! It looks so beautiful, all these gorgeous old houses! Architecture was definitely way more creative in the earlier days.
I'm looking forward to see the video about visiting Germany. I live in Thüringen, and I am curious how you see differences in "pandemic" times between England and Germany. Have a great trip and enjoy being with your families!
It's really beautiful and not a big city so it's great! Thanks so much!!
Have a WONDERFUL trip home! Thank you for showing us all this lovely city, so full of architectural history, so beautiful! I was in wonderment! Kirsten, you must hear this all the time, but I have to say it. All my life I’ve heard the phrase English rose, or skin like the women of England. Well, you certainly have such beautiful skin you fit the definition! Again, enjoy being with family, we all look forward to seeing glimpses of the places where you each were raised!
Thanks so much! Awww hahah so kind but I'm not English so not sure that the English rose term would apply to me but it's a wonderful compliment, thank you.
Thank you for "taking" us to Chester. I'm looking forward to visiting Germany "with you"!
Thanks so much!
Here it is hot, too. But a wet towel in the neck, sweeten peppermint tea from fresh leaves and light dishes can help a lot.
Oh ja, perfekt!
@@KirstenJoerg habt Ihr einmal einen Tortellini-Mozzarella-Tomaten-Salat mit grünem Pesto probiert? Einfach nur genial. Besonders klasse fürs Büro als Lunch. Passt auf Euch und Eure Familien auf, wenn Ihr hier seid. Die Zahlen steigen leider an im Moment
Beautiful city. Have a safe,and enjoyable trip home!
Thanks so much!
I do this recipe all the time summer in Tasmania means cold salads are a staple for 4 months of the year I do variations on this sometimes Ill add a small amount of marinated black olives sliced for a salty addition and another variation is adding halved strawberries and marinated goats cheese fetta which is creamier than ordinary fetta. If its marinated you can use the marinating oil as the oil in the dressing. But delicious salad this one is indeed. :)
Chester is beautiful have a lovely holiday with your families keep safe you two.
Thanks so much! Oh yes, variations are lovely for the salad, we do love goats cheese as well.
I loved seeing The Rows & the Cathedral. Happy anniversary to your Mum & Dad and enjoy your visit. ❤️
I look forward to making your salad. I have lots of mint growing in my garden, nice to have fresh mint. I hope you have a wonderful time back in Germany please pass on our best wishes to your parents on their anniversary. The 50th is truly one to celebrate 🎉 Juergen are they new glasses? They look very good on you. I would love to see some video of your time back in Germany 🇩🇪. I know what it is like to miss family. I live in Canada with my husband and daughter (both are Canadian) but I miss all my family still back in England. In fact I miss the UK 🇬🇧 Have fun you too and stay safe. Have a safe trip! See you when you get back. Best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much Carole, can totally relate and it's hard not to see the family. Nothing beats fresh mint, it smells divine and love fresh mint tea too. No, Joerg doesn't have new glasses, he has 2 pairs so he can switch.
This is a great salad that I have made before and added black olives as well. You are right--so very refreshing! Looks wonderful. Have a wonderful time in Germany!
Thanks so much Jennifer!
Hello, Kirsten and Joerg!Thank you for this lovely video!Such a beautiful city!Have a wonderful time with your families and happy anniversary to your parents!
Spectacular city! So happy you get to go home and I cannot wait to see your trip video. Be safe and happy travels ❤️
So glad you like it Tonya, thank you! I'm sure you would love Chester if you were to plan a visit, it's so charming. And thank you so much. See you very soon.
Oh that is happy news to see your family again and celebrate a Golden Anniversary with your parents
Oh Chester is beautiful love all the old buildings
Have a lovely break 🥰
We've had such hot (30 C), muggy, humid, rainy, & stormy weather this week, that we don't like to eat much at this time, either. Mostly raw, like salads, but I did make a hummus, that is served cold after cooking w/ pita chips, carrots, or other veggie strips. We have lots of iced herbal teas, too. We have a/c, but I prefer to sit out on the back, screened-in porch, even if it makes me sweaty, as sweat is the body's natural way of cooling itself. So, even here in Durham, NC, usa, we have similar experiences.
Have such a wonderful trip! Blessings! Q
Thanks so much! Love hummus too, just the best in the heat to have a lovely salad. When we lived in Egypt where it gets extremely hot in the summer (but not too humid which is good), we still drank hot tea during the day just like the Egyptians and it actually helped to cool down afterwards. Hope you're having a good weekend.
@@KirstenJoerg Great idea, didn't know abt the hot tea; will have to try! Wkend fab, but a busy work week ahead! LOL All the best to you both! Q

So love your videos. Whether you're going to a beautiful location, or just staying home informing of the progress on your lovely home, or cooking something delicious, it's a special treat.
Best show on "TV" 😊
I am so happy for you, visit your parents is a gift for the soul, hope you enjoy a lot all, your families and friends. I loved the recipe, and the city is like from a fairy tale, thank you so much.
What an absolutely beautiful city! It reminds me of the Mafair area of London.
