I"m glad to hear that Sophie is all right. It's hard to think of the day when our dear pets depart. She's such a cutie. Thanks for a glimpse of the Chelsea Flower show. Take care.
Hi Nicolas, thanks for taking us along to the Chelsea flower show. We have a flower show this weekend called Bloom in Ireland, I went yesterday 🌸 . Hugs to Sophie to get well soon 🐶 , Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪
This past Thursday I had to say goodbye to my sweet Lucky. He was a 17 year old Yorkie. He left this earth sleeping peacefully in my arms (with a bit of help from the vet). One of the hardest moments in my life. Give sweet Sofie a squeeze from a sad doggie mom in Oklahoma. May you have at least 17 wonderful years together. Love the pictures so very classy. Hugs
Nicolas, You are such a good pet parent always putting Sophie's well-being first and foremost in all you do. I hope she's adjusting well now that you are back home from traveling. Thank you for the wonderful videos of the flower show. Absolutely stunning!
I am so glad to hear Sophie is ok. I was holding my breath the entire video! Dogs are such a blessing to our lives. They are definitely creatures of habit. My little dog had some skin issues on the tips of her ears. Something that made the edges of her velvety ears a tiny bit thicker than normal. It all turned out to be allergies too. We were given some cream to use on her ears and she got a steroid shot as well. Our vet said she will probably drink a bit more water for a couple of weeks because of the shot, and she has. But she’s fine. Allergies can do strange things to our four legged friends. Again, I am so happy Sophie is happy and healthy!
You are so smart Nicholas! I'm glad Sophie is ok. You entertain me today, not every girl, woman knows how to manage the house like you, dear. It just pleasantly surprises me, this is rarely seen. You have a very cozy nest for a lonely guy, everything is in harmony. Take care of yourself and Sophie.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Being a single parent of 2 adopted senior Yorkshire terriers ,10 and 14 years old, I can totally relate to your health concerns for beautiful Sophie. So relieved to learn that all was well in the end. Love your apartment and patio areas! Looking forward to many more v!ogs! (Kathy, a Florida, U.S. subscriber) Kathy, Florida USA subscriber.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this video. I'm in the middle of the U.S. and will never see London but thanks to you I get a glimpse! The garden show looks like great fun. May God's blessings rain down on you Nicholas!
I’m so glad Sophie is alright! I have an almost 12 year old Labrador and I understand your sentiments. Although we know they cannot remain with us forever, we can still hope for a very long while. Also, do not fret over what others think of your devour choices variety is the spice of life!
So happy to hear that Sophie is fine ... glad she's getting a "spa date" after being so stressed! Looking forward to the decorating refresh of your front room and thank you for a look at London all decked out for the Queen's Jubilee and Flower Show.
Hello from Connecticut. What a nice thing to have in London, the Chelsea Flower Show. Wish you had more time to cover the exhibits etc. Maybe next year? It almost provided me with incentive to refurbish my own garden areas.....almost! I never noticed the two side lights before; I have to agree not sure what that style is. I think it outstanding that your subscribers are getting involved with you. Great that you are looking to the present as a bachelor...something that has been actually delayed...so embrace it and enjoy, Nick.
I just want to say I'm so happy that Sophie is okay. She is a family member, and you know her best. Your ideas are so inspiring to watch. Your channel is different than many of the others. I like that it includes cooking, decorating, cleaning, and shopping. You have made me want to visit Edinburgh someday. Thanks for sharing and showing this beautiful country.
Living in the Sonoran desert - Arizona, USA - you have no idea how I appreciate your videos, Nicolas. It is a completely different view of our beautiful world. Getting to see the green & flowery land of my forefathers is such a thrill. Thank you.😍
Hello Nicholas! I would like to share a tip for getting moss to grow on your outside planters/ wall. All you need is buttermilk which you brush onto whatever surface terracotta is good and then you take miss from the florist or some you come across on a walk, then you crumble it to help release its spores. Keep the surface lightly moist and soon the new miss will be growing! This tip comes from Martha Stewart, if you have success, it would be something to share with your viewers. Its been 30+ years since Martha showed this on her show! Blessings and good luck to you always! From me in Kansas City! 🇺🇸🍀🍀🍀🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh Nicholas I couldn’t be happier that Sophie is OK!, The flower show was absolutely stunning. I actually gasped out loud when I saw those cream colored roses ; just gorgeous and then the decorations outside the store fronts: magical, but my main concern selfishly was Sophie . I’m so ,so glad that she’s all right. Please give her a hug from me and I’m sending you a big hug too . I don’t comment all the time but I wait with great anticipation for every Sunday now. It makes it extra special to see you. I love your new style of sitting and just chatting because it just comes naturally to you I make videos for my job sometimes - it just happens to come easily to some people and you are fabulous. I love you, have a wonderful week and thank God those wall sconces are gone. Xx
I’m so pleased you bought the maps, you’ll never regret a purchase like this and they’ll follow you where ever you go. I live in the Cotswolds near Oxford and bought some large old maps of Oxford, I love looking at them, they are also classic and timeless. I have a 11 year old terrier and she’s become very anxious the older she gets, she constantly needs me for reassurance and looks to me for my reactions. Puppies are wonderful but when they reach this age this is when the love, bond and trust between dog and owner is at its strongest, Sophie is lucky to have you. All the best x
You are absolutely lovely and I can’t wait to see your new and improved living space. I can’t believe people asking you not to change anything. We all grow and we all change and our tastes changes too, so good for you for wanting a new style! Sophie is so lucky to have such a caring daddy!🥰
I’m so happy Sophie is fine, I enjoyed going to London and the flower show it was beautiful, thanks for taking me along, have a wonderful blessed day Nicholas, 🌷🌼🌻🌹🌸
Dear little Sophie, I am so happy to hear she is okay. She lives a quiet, loving life and it was probably just was too much for her. I know the love of a furry angel. Thank goodness it is not something serious. I love your videos and look forward to every one!
I LOVE the new artwork but I do adore the painting over your fireplace, too. And since I adore a sconce - I'd say buy new, fab sconces and put the art on the far wall! Whatever you choose to do will, obviously, be wonderful.
You are all Sophie needs !!!! When I am a little down, the best remedy for me is to watch your wonderful videos. They inspire me . Thank you very much Nicolas!!! xx
As per so many other comments, I'm so glad Sophie is ok. Those of us who have pets so understand how stressful it is when they have problems. Your home is beautifully decorated, but I do understand there is a time for change as we get tired and bored with the same decor. I love changing things up too.
Glad Sophie is okay. Love the maps. Look forward to seeing the reveal in your next video. Wanted to mention from a feng shui perspective, it is good to update furniture, clothing, etc. You mentioned many of these pieces you had in your previous home and relationship. Bringing in new items will infuse new energy into your life in Edinburgh.
I agree in that I think your rug might need an anchor color, either within or as a border. If a vivid green is too bold, maybe consider a darker grey. Good news about Sophie! Personally, I think pets’ lifespans should better align with ours but God hasn’t replied. 😊
Nicholas, I have just received your lovely newsletter about The Queen and it brought tears to my eyes! You are so lovely and warm-hearted. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you so much for updating us on Sophie. So happy she's fine and headed off to be prettified. Not that she needs it. She's adorable. I can't wait to see your living room restyled. I find those maps utterly fascinating. Such a wonderful video, Nicolas. THank you.
I think you’re right regarding Sophie, she’s elderly and perhaps being cared for by strangers is less than ideal now, I hope she’ll rally round and perk up bless her ❤️🐶🙏🏻xx
@@NicolasFairford that’s a great relief for you 🐶❤️I recently had a loss of one of my dogs, a Pug named Hattie, I would say the latter years are even more precious if that’s possible 🙏🏻😊I hope Sophie has many more of them xx
Thanks for the update on Sophie. You are such a good attentive dog companion. After the age of 10 it is best that dogs stay home and not travel. The air quality in London might just be too difficult on her lungs and it might make your travels a bit easier. I have two dogs and two cats and I don’t travel with any of them. Their place is in my home.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your care of Sophie. You are really wonderful to put her needs first and I admire and applaud you for that-your priorities are right and I really admire you for that 🙏❤️🥰
Glad little Sophie is ok. I'm not a pet owner, but I understand how much of companion they can be to people. How blessed are you to have a bespoke carpet hand crafted to your specifications! I'm sure it will be lovely and a great addition to your place.
It always stresses me to be away from my pets. But sometimes it's necessary. Everyone needs a break occasionally. An older dog has much more to deal with being away from familiar surroundings. I've had so many beloved pets over the years. Watching them age is so painful. Sophie is fortunate to have you as her owner. Loved the London scenes and the flower show.
I am so happy for Sophie, I can wait to see her when she gets off from the groomer. My late furry baby lived 17 and a half, same kind of breed Shih tzu. Enjoy every moment, she is your best friend! 🤗
We love you Nicholas, and we all send good wishes, and heath to you and Sophie. She is at the age where she is better off being cared for at home where she is comfortable, and familiar. She seems like such a sweet girl, and I am glad she is doing better. Give her a hug from all of us!
So glad to hear that Sophie is ok. I love seeing her on here. She is just so cute. And, as always, I love your vlogs! Can't wait to see what you do with your flat.
Looking forward to seeing the new chic Nicolas Fairford decor. ------ OH, what a relief. Sophie is okay, nothing life threatening. Thank you so very much for giving us the good news about Sophie during this video. Wishing you, Nicolas, and Sophie many more enjoyable years together.
Thanks for showing us around the Chelsea Flower Show Nicolas, and I am so glad to hear that Sophie is doing well. Yes, it is always good for your home to reflect who you are, and I for one can not wait to see how you will revamp your living room.
Betty here.....I so enjoyed seeing London through your eyes (I'm from the USA). The flowers were glorious as were the storefronts. Love the two map prints...the sepia tones are so soothing! Looking forward to seeing the new rug and other changes in your living room. I'm relieved to know that sweet little Sophie is ok, too. Blessings!!
I love the new style of your videos and we are friends of course!! Thankfully, Sophie is ok! I always hate leaving my cat. He has such a peaceful and serine existence, so when that is disrupted he certainly feels it! Long live Sophie.... she brings us such joy!
So glad to hear Sophia is doing good, so glad you were able to get her in right away to be checked it takes the worry off us.Thank you for taking us to the flower show.
🙌 yes! feel more connected as you say too with this vlog style!!! The glimpse of your trip and the scenery of what you saw was nice to see. And, so very glad to hear that Sophie is fine. She is a special part of your channel and to all of us viewers😌
It’s fun to see your excursions. Loved the glimpse of the flower show. I absolutely love British gardens .. some so formal and others looks so whimsical! I’m so you gave an update on your Sophie. So happy she is OK! Haircut for the summer is good. Hopefully she will not get stressed. Our fur babies are so much a part of our families. We had to say goodbye to our 13-year cat and I was devastated! I still look for her and it has been months. Enjoy your Sophie and don’t think of having to say goodbye.
Thank you so much for letting us know your precious little Sophie is ok. My little Grace Elizabeth is the same age. She is such a blessing in my life, as Sophie is in yours💗. I don't even want to think about when she is no longer on Earth with me.
Nicholas, those roses displayed and the other flowers melted my heart with love and joy when you showed the store fronts. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful heavenly scene in my life. I bet your heart was bursting with joy! The flower smells had to be unbelievably enchanting! I'm glad little Sophie is better. What a little 💕 love. Thank you for sharing a part of your world with us. I feel as if the flowers gave us all hope for a brighter tomorrow. Much love and blessings dear.
Thank you for taking us on your excursion to London. It was so enjoyable, I am going to watch it again. I understand why you love Fiona Finds. Bless little Sophie🥰
Such a relief to hear that "Sophie" is fine. Animals tend to hide from us their aches and pains so you are such a good "Father" to be so observant. Loved the video can't wait for more!!
My friend had a similar situation with her dog it was stress but the beautiful dog is very well now glad Sophie is alright she's an angel. Thanks for sharing your awesome vids Nicolas 💜
I completely understand your caution with Sophie, hoping all is well. I have an older dog and have also adjusted plans accordingly. Always appreciate your tranquility and your creative growth and think the maps are a great choice as well as a rug. Looking forward to new surprises.
First, thank God Sophie is ok. I know how much these little creatures mean to all of us and when we worry about them, we really worry!! I'll be looking forward to see her scampering around your garden and happy in her home. Next, I'm so excited to see this new chapter in decorating your home! I just know it will be tasteful, elegant and very interesting. I can't wait!
Sweet Nicolas, great job caring for your wee one. They're beyond precious and should always be our main concern. Now, as for your home, I knew this day would come. Your 'old' country home style is my exact cup of tea and what first drew me to you. I was surprised such a young man had such traditional taste. And as all things do, your tastes are changing. I'll stick with you because I love you but I'll miss the Cotswold decor. Thank you for another video!
Thanks for all the vibrant scenes of London in preparation of the Queen’s Jubilee! Hearing you plan for your “new you” living room is fun…congrats on acquiring your stunning Edinburgh prints! And so glad Sophie is home and able to relax, returning to her healthy self under your loving care. Our pets are so important to us!!
Your manner and voice whilst presenting your weekly material bring an utter essence of calm. Personally, I greatly appreciate and prefer your latest Vlog style, as you are correct, it does bring a much more personal feel to things. I very much looked forward to your weekly videos throughout the pandemic, as they were like a sunbeam cutting through the dark clouds of an incredibly difficult time. Although we have all gained some sense of "normalcy" to our daily lives again, I still adore your content just as much as I did before, if not more so! So Nicolas, I guess I just wanted to express a long overdue "THANK YOU" for being exactly who you are in your sense of style, presentation, honesty and a deep seeded admiration of lovely things. Any "haters" or "trolls" out there can bugger off! I think it's a safe and fair observation to say that you have brought a lot of happiness to others in what you're doing. Fortnum & Mason have a motto saying; "delivering parcels of joy", and in your case one could say; "presenting Vlogs of delight". I also thank you for the polite correspondence we have shared on Instagram from time to time. You are a treasure, and I already look forward to next Friday's offering. Best to you, Matty 🙏🥂💐 PS. I too am glad Sophie is indeed well.
Love the vlogs Nicolas, and yes I do think you should update your decor if you feel that it no longer speaks to you. I have done that over the years, and you have the right idea to do it over time, not to brake the budget. It’s very satisfying finding new pieces for an affordable price that changes the look without changing the whole lot, and I can enhance the pieces you are keeping. It’s hard when our beloved dogs become elderly, they do need their routine, maybe if you have the same dog sitter come every time you have to leave her at home she will get used to that person, and be a bit more relaxed. Looking forward to the next vlog.
The simplicity of the cloud shot on the plane with a follow through of Sophie sleeping on the train began to give a look into this self-evolution phase that you shared as we journey with you in your vlog. The contrast of the blooming flowers at the Chelsea flower show followed by two very striking statement art pieces for your home gave a hint of this budding self-transformation process. Sophie the Heart of this whole beautiful vlog segment quietly sharing her transformation in the background also - incredible life companion, may her golden years simply be that - Gold!
Love the pictures of the flower show, would like to be there in person. Soooo glad to hear little Sophie is OK, you are so good to cut your visit short to take her to the vet.
I fast forward every other UA-cam video I watch except yours. I love every second of what you do on your videos and never want them to end. I had to cut my vacation short too because of my little dog so I totally understand your worries and your priority putting Sophie first.
As our dogs age, (my Standard poodle is 14!) their larynx some times doesn’t function as well & they wheeze & chuff & hack a bit. Excitement makes it worse. My old boy has the same issue when his routines are topsy turvy. I’m glad to hear Sophie is better. Your painting over the fireplace is my absolute favorite!
Yes, Sophie needs a spa day and she will be back to normal! Give her hugs too. Thanks for the tour of the flower show. yes pics over fireplace extending beyond the hearth sounds great! Be well.
Happy to hear Sophie is doing well - I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful flowers from the show & shops - looking forward to see the changes to your living space - change is good
Good evening Nicolas! I’m so glad your Sophie is ok. You’re a good doggie Daddy to make her a priority! I had two doggies, one of whose name was Sophie, too! Mine were never able to be left with anyone either as it was too stressful for them. It is worse on them as they get older. I think you are being wise to consider her. Looking forward to seeing your home updates! Change is good! Take care. 💕
Ohhh Nicholas, I am so pleased to hear Sophie is ok! My prayers are going up for you both. My heart feels your fears… as far as you changing decor, we all have seasons! I’m excited to see what you do, and the joy you’ll display in doing it! The best part about changing one’s Decor, especially when you love the existing, is that you can always go back to it later, if you desire. Enjoy playing with your palette! It rejuvenates the soul! With love from Phoenix, Arizona USA. 💗🌵💗
Hi: I love the 2 map/plans wall hangings you got and very happy that Sophie is good. I enjoy your channel very much! You're the type of person that I could hang out with and have a good time decorating, shopping for great fashion - all that fun stuff. Peace and blessings.
Happy to hear Sophie girl is doing well...phew! Love those pictures and a bit of a new as aesthetic for you... Looking forward to the rug as well. My fave color is green, also. Not too many of us out there. Have a lovely Sunday and for we Americans...Happy Memorial Day and God bless those who have gone before us. xoxo
I am so glad to hear that Sophie's check up went well. I believe she feels better with just you and her since she is getting older. With your loving care ❤️ she will be around for more years Nicholas. I like the two pictures that you bought. They are going to look so good on the wall. Glad to see the sconces gone👍 I enjoyed this video.
I'm so happy things are well with your dog. I had to say goodbye to my 12-year-old beagle, Christopher. It was so much harder than I thought it would be even though I still have my 17-year-old beagle. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and the beauty of it. Your videos bring a calm and reflection that helps in these hectic days.
Thank you for showing us the Chealsie Flower Show!! So beautiful. So happy that Sophie is ok. A lot of TLC from her daddy will get her well in no time. She missed you so much and you ran back home to care for her❤️ Love the new additions of the Edinburgh street maps love it! It’s going to look stunning. Can’t wait for your next video. Bravo Nicolas!!!
So happy to hear that Sophie is doing better !!! We had a Shih Tzu too, her name was "Pickles", she lived to 15 years old. We got her when she was 8 weeks old and she weighed only 3 lbs !! She had a cough too at one time or the other and the Vet prescribed the same thing. She lived a long and healthy life !! Sophie is so adorable, I love it when she is in your videos !!! Thank you for showing us around the Flower show, so beautiful !!
Dear Nicolas I am so glad to hear the Sophie is well I would like to get u a big virtual ((hug)) because of our concern Your beloved fur baby Thank you for sharing your heart I loved how you combined the music with the visual effects of the flowers Blessings to you and Sophie 😍🥰😘
So happy Sophie’s ok. She’s such a sweet pup. Thank you for sharing the Chelsea Flower show , I’ve always wanted to go. So inspirational. I love your new prints. I believe that when we have things in our homes that are from a past relationship it’s a good idea to give them a new home because they are a reminder . As we grow and change so does our taste. Of course family heirlooms etc are something we should keep and treasure.Just my thoughts.I’m sure it will be wonderful.
I am so very happy that Sophie is doing okay and healthy. I too pray you will have her around for many years. My little Bella, multipoo was just over 14 yrs old when she passed. It was so hard but in time, I now have a new pup, Lilly Rose who is now just over 5 months old. Loved what you were able to show in your vlog today. Have a beautiful week and happy celebrating the Queen.
Consider this. Wire brass picture lights over each architectural print! It would spotlight them after dark and add a bit of light to that side of the room. Very sophisticated. Very metropolitan. It would look great!
So glad Sophie is well. Stress can be so harmful for pets and humans. Looking forward to seeing your new maps hung over the fireplace. I'm in Scotland for holiday and looking forward to seeing Edinburgh!
What a relief to know that your dear little Sophie is ok! Thank you for taking us to the Chelsea Flower Show with you - it all looked so beautiful. Can’t wait to see your new prints/paintings hanging on your wall! They’re going to look fantastic.
Sweet Nicolas, The black and white plans are wonderful. I love them. I fall more and more in love with your living room wall color each time I see it. When I see you have posted a new you tube I get excited. Your content contains the right amount of this and that. Well balanced. I can't wait to see your new rug. We are so relieved Sophie is on the mend. I find I change my plans for my fur babies. Everyone Be Blessed and safe,
So glad you have an update on Sophie by the end of the video and that she is doing ok. Love the new map prints and look forward to seeing how you decide to hang them.
This video shows what a genuine and self-less person you truly are for putting Sophie before anything and cutting your journey short, you did the right thing so bless you for that. The Chelsea flower show gave you a good idea with those trees in those large planters to add a bit more green into your courtyard. Was wondering if you bought anything from Fiona's whilst youo were there?. Those maps you have bought are stunning , I like the idea of a revamp on your decour, as you say those items were fitting to when you were in your past relationship. You've picked the right samples for the rug great combo there. If you get rid of the table with the cloth on it you could perhaps put the bookcase there, but depends if it looks right and if it fits. I think a two seater chesterfield but in black or cream would look more batchelor pad for you, plus it's not busy like your arm chairs. Ok I've waffled on enough lol....Glad Sophies ok. Have a lovely week till next time, keep smiling lovely :-) xx
Again, you have brought joy to my weekend with your interesting life. After seeing the Chelsea Flower Show and Finona Finds, I feel as if I want to pack up and move across the ocean. I was sad to see the vlog end; I could have listened to you all day. I'm working on my yard right now, so lots of inspiration here. Thank you. I might suggest that before you hang your art finds, let someone hold one up where you plan to hang it to be sure it doesn't overwhelm the fireplace. It was difficult to tell the actual size of the maps, but they seemed rather large. So excited to see your new rug. I need one, too. Mine has a little kitty damage. Later - after I work on the yard. Sending kisses to lovely Sophie.
You home is lovely and changes are so enjoyable as we advance through our life adventures, your new touches will be enjoyable for all. Glad your Sophie is doing better.
Glad to see Sophie well . Love how you will decor your wall with the Maps picture. Love how you like historical memories about your Endiburgh. You are the best in your ideas for decors.
To tell the truth, I was worried about Sophie. I am relieved she is fine. I am impressed that you shortened your trip to make sure Sophie was okay. I love you and Sophie, both. Cheers!
I"m glad to hear that Sophie is all right. It's hard to think of the day when our dear pets depart. She's such a cutie. Thanks for a glimpse of the Chelsea Flower show. Take care.
My pleasure! Thank you!
@@NicolasFairford Hello Nicolas, all your videos are so elegant and entertaining :) Thank you so much. Greetings from London.

I’m glad Sophie is okay. She is truly precious.
I am so glad to hear Sophie is ok. I was holding my breath the entire video! Dogs are such a blessing to our lives. They are definitely creatures of habit. My little dog had some skin issues on the tips of her ears. Something that made the edges of her velvety ears a tiny bit thicker than normal. It all turned out to be allergies too. We were given some cream to use on her ears and she got a steroid shot as well. Our vet said she will probably drink a bit more water for a couple of weeks because of the shot, and she has. But she’s fine. Allergies can do strange things to our four legged friends. Again, I am so happy Sophie is happy and healthy!
Sophie is drinking a lot of water too! Thanks for your kind words x
You are so smart Nicholas! I'm glad Sophie is ok. You entertain me today, not every girl, woman knows how to manage the house like you, dear. It just pleasantly surprises me, this is rarely seen. You have a very cozy nest for a lonely guy, everything is in harmony. Take care of yourself and Sophie.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Glad Sophie is okay. Change of routine can send us all a bit off balance. 💗
You're so right!
So happy that Miss Sophie is okay! What a relief.
Thank you so much x
What stunning floral displays. Wishing Sophie a speedy recovery.
Being a single parent of 2 adopted senior Yorkshire terriers ,10 and 14 years old, I can totally relate to your health concerns for beautiful Sophie. So relieved to learn that all was well in the end.

Hello from Connecticut. What a nice thing to have in London, the Chelsea Flower Show. Wish you had more time to cover the exhibits etc. Maybe next year? It almost provided me with incentive to refurbish my own garden areas.....almost! I never noticed the two side lights before; I have to agree not sure what that style is.

Great that you are looking to the present as a bachelor...something that has been actually delayed...so embrace it and enjoy, Nick.

Sophie only wants to share precious time with you; it doesn’t matter where 🐾❤️
Hello Nicholas!
I would like to share a tip for getting moss to grow on your outside planters/ wall. All you need is buttermilk which you brush onto whatever surface
terracotta is good and then you take miss from the florist or some you come across on a walk, then you crumble it to help release its spores.
Keep the surface lightly moist and soon the new miss will be growing! This tip comes from
Martha Stewart, if you have success, it would be something to share with your viewers.
Its been 30+ years since Martha showed this on her show!
Blessings and good luck to you always! From me in Kansas City! 🇺🇸🍀🍀🍀🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh Nicholas I couldn’t be happier that Sophie is OK!,

I actually gasped out loud when I saw those cream colored roses ; just gorgeous and then the decorations outside the store fronts: magical, but my main concern selfishly was Sophie .

I’m so pleased you bought the maps, you’ll never regret a purchase like this and they’ll follow you where ever you go. I live in the Cotswolds near Oxford and bought some large old maps of Oxford, I love looking at them, they are also classic and timeless. I have a 11 year old terrier and she’s become very anxious the older she gets, she constantly needs me for reassurance and looks to me for my reactions. Puppies are wonderful but when they reach this age this is when the love, bond and trust between dog and owner is at its strongest, Sophie is lucky to have you. All the best x
You are absolutely lovely and I can’t wait to see your new and improved living space. I can’t believe people asking you not to change anything. We all grow and we all change and our tastes changes too, so good for you for wanting a new style! Sophie is so lucky to have such a caring daddy!🥰
I am so glad Sophie is ok, she is a sweetie. ❤️
I’m so happy Sophie is fine, I enjoyed going to London and the flower show it was beautiful, thanks for taking me along, have a wonderful blessed day Nicholas, 🌷🌼🌻🌹🌸
My pleasure!
Dear little Sophie, I am so happy to hear she is okay. She lives a quiet, loving life and it was probably just was too much for her. I know the love of a furry angel. Thank goodness it is not something serious. I love your videos and look forward to every one!
I LOVE the new artwork but I do adore the painting over your fireplace, too. And since I adore a sconce - I'd say buy new, fab sconces and put the art on the far wall! Whatever you choose to do will, obviously, be wonderful.
You are all Sophie needs !!!! When I am a little down, the best remedy for me is to watch your wonderful videos. They inspire me . Thank you very much Nicolas!!! xx
As per so many other comments, I'm so glad Sophie is ok. Those of us who have pets so understand how stressful it is when they have problems. Your home is beautifully decorated, but I do understand there is a time for change as we get tired and bored with the same decor. I love changing things up too.
Glad Sophie is okay. Love the maps. Look forward to seeing the reveal in your next video. Wanted to mention from a feng shui perspective, it is good to update furniture, clothing, etc. You mentioned many of these pieces you had in your previous home and relationship. Bringing in new items will infuse new energy into your life in Edinburgh.
I hope so! Thank you so much x
Rugs are so important! The colors you picked are really pretty, adding the green will bring the room together🦚
I hope so!
I agree in that I think your rug might need an anchor color, either within or as a border. If a vivid green is too bold, maybe consider a darker grey. Good news about Sophie! Personally, I think pets’ lifespans should better align with ours but God hasn’t replied. 😊
Nicholas, I have just received your lovely newsletter about The Queen and it brought tears to my eyes! You are so lovely and warm-hearted. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you so much for updating us on Sophie. So happy she's fine and headed off to be prettified. Not that she needs it. She's adorable.
I can't wait to see your living room restyled. I find those maps utterly fascinating.
Such a wonderful video, Nicolas. THank you.
I think you’re right regarding Sophie, she’s elderly and perhaps being cared for by strangers is less than ideal now, I hope she’ll rally round and perk up bless her ❤️🐶🙏🏻xx
Thank you! She's much better already x
@@NicolasFairford that’s a great relief for you 🐶❤️I recently had a loss of one of my dogs, a Pug named Hattie, I would say the latter years are even more precious if that’s possible 🙏🏻😊I hope Sophie has many more of them xx
Thanks for the update on Sophie. You are such a good attentive dog companion. After the age of 10 it is best that dogs stay home and not travel. The air quality in London might just be too difficult on her lungs and it might make your travels a bit easier. I have two dogs and two cats and I don’t travel with any of them. Their place is in my home.
Agree, she is such a sweetheart ❤️
@@NicolasFairford that is wonderful news ❤️❤️❤️
Your short trip to London made me want to go back. I want to go back while the queen is still around. God bless the queen.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your care of Sophie. You are really wonderful to put her needs first and I admire and applaud you for that-your priorities are right and I really admire you for that 🙏❤️🥰
Glad little Sophie is ok. I'm not a pet owner, but I understand how much of companion they can be to people. How blessed are you to have a bespoke carpet hand crafted to your specifications! I'm sure it will be lovely and a great addition to your place.
It always stresses me to be away from my pets. But sometimes it's necessary. Everyone needs a break occasionally. An older dog has much more to deal with being away from familiar surroundings. I've had so many beloved pets over the years. Watching them age is so painful. Sophie is fortunate to have you as her owner. Loved the London scenes and the flower show.
I am so happy for Sophie, I can wait to see her when she gets off from the groomer. My late furry baby lived 17 and a half, same kind of breed Shih tzu. Enjoy every moment, she is your best friend! 🤗
We love you Nicholas, and we all send good wishes, and heath to you and Sophie. She is at the age where she is better off being cared for at home where she is comfortable, and familiar. She seems like such a sweet girl, and I am glad she is doing better. Give her a hug from all of us!
Thank you so much x
So glad to hear that Sophie is ok. I love seeing her on here. She is just so cute. And, as always, I love your vlogs! Can't wait to see what you do with your flat.
Thanks for the kindness x
So relieved about Sophie. Our fur babies are so loved.
Konečně video kdy je vidět i příroda, ulice a není to pouze o bydlení atd. Děkuji za pěkné relaxační video a budu se těšit na další.
Looking forward to seeing the new chic Nicolas Fairford decor.

OH, what a relief.
Sophie is okay, nothing life threatening.
Thank you so very much for giving us the good news about Sophie during this video.
Wishing you, Nicolas, and Sophie many more enjoyable years together.
Glad you can breath easy about Sophie, thank you for taking us on your journey in London beautiful flowers everywhere.
Thanks for showing us around the Chelsea Flower Show Nicolas, and I am so glad to hear that Sophie is doing well. Yes, it is always good for your home to reflect who you are, and I for one can not wait to see how you will revamp your living room.
Betty here.....I so enjoyed seeing London through your eyes (I'm from the USA). The flowers were glorious as were the storefronts. Love the two map prints...the sepia tones are so soothing! Looking forward to seeing the new rug and other changes in your living room. I'm relieved to know that sweet little Sophie is ok, too. Blessings!!
So glad that Sophie is fine . Our furry friends make such a difference in our lives. They are truly our best friends.
I love the new style of your videos and we are friends of course!! Thankfully, Sophie is ok! I always hate leaving my cat. He has such a peaceful and serine existence, so when that is disrupted he certainly feels it! Long live Sophie.... she brings us such joy!
Hi Nic, so relieved to hear Sophie is feeling better . We’ve all grown to adore her too ! 💜🐶 💜. Wonderful Vlog and loved all the different flowers 💐
So glad to hear Sophia is doing good, so glad you were able to get her in right away to be checked it takes the worry off us.Thank you for taking us to the flower show.
I’m so happy Sophie has been given the all clear by the vet. I know how worried you would have been Nicolas. x
🙌 yes! feel more connected as you say too with this vlog style!!! The glimpse of your trip and the scenery of what you saw was nice to see. And, so very glad to hear that Sophie is fine. She is a special part of your channel and to all of us viewers😌
Sophie is so precious. I look forward to your videos each week. Thanks for sharing your life with us
It’s fun to see your excursions. Loved the glimpse of the flower show. I absolutely love British gardens .. some so formal and others looks so whimsical!
I’m so you gave an update on your Sophie. So happy she is OK! Haircut for the summer is good. Hopefully she will not get stressed.
Our fur babies are so much a part of our families. We had to say goodbye to our 13-year cat and I was devastated! I still look for her and it has been months. Enjoy your Sophie and don’t think of having to say goodbye.
Thank you so much for letting us know your precious little Sophie is ok. My little Grace Elizabeth is the same age. She is such a blessing in my life, as Sophie is in yours💗. I don't even want to think about when she is no longer on Earth with me.
Nicholas, those roses displayed and the other flowers melted my heart with love and joy when you showed the store fronts. I don't think I have ever seen a more beautiful heavenly scene in my life. I bet your heart was bursting with joy! The flower smells had to be unbelievably enchanting! I'm glad little Sophie is better. What a little 💕 love. Thank you for sharing a part of your world with us. I feel as if the flowers gave us all hope for a brighter tomorrow. Much love and blessings dear.
Thank you for taking us on your excursion to London. It was so enjoyable, I am going to watch it again. I understand why you love Fiona Finds. Bless little Sophie🥰
Such a relief to hear that "Sophie" is fine. Animals tend to hide from us their aches and pains so you are such a good
"Father" to be so observant. Loved the video can't wait for more!!
My friend had a similar situation with her dog it was stress but the beautiful dog is very well now glad Sophie is alright she's an angel. Thanks for sharing your awesome vids Nicolas 💜
I completely understand your caution with Sophie, hoping all is well. I have an older dog and have also adjusted plans accordingly. Always appreciate your tranquility and your creative growth and think the maps are a great choice as well as a rug. Looking forward to new surprises.
First, thank God Sophie is ok. I know how much these little creatures mean to all of us and when we worry about them, we really worry!! I'll be looking forward to see her scampering around your garden and happy in her home. Next, I'm so excited to see this new chapter in decorating your home! I just know it will be tasteful, elegant and very interesting. I can't wait!
So sweet - Thank you!
Sweet Nicolas, great job caring for your wee one. They're beyond precious and should always be our main concern. Now, as for your home, I knew this day would come. Your 'old' country home style is my exact cup of tea and what first drew me to you. I was surprised such a young man had such traditional taste. And as all things do, your tastes are changing. I'll stick with you because I love you but I'll miss the Cotswold decor. Thank you for another video!
Thanks for all the vibrant scenes of London in preparation of the Queen’s Jubilee! Hearing you plan for your “new you” living room is fun…congrats on acquiring your stunning Edinburgh prints! And so glad Sophie is home and able to relax, returning to her healthy self under your loving care. Our pets are so important to us!!
Your manner and voice whilst presenting your weekly material bring an utter essence of calm. Personally, I greatly appreciate and prefer your latest Vlog style, as you are correct, it does bring a much more personal feel to things. I very much looked forward to your weekly videos throughout the pandemic, as they were like a sunbeam cutting through the dark clouds of an incredibly difficult time. Although we have all gained some sense of "normalcy" to our daily lives again, I still adore your content just as much as I did before, if not more so! So Nicolas, I guess I just wanted to express a long overdue "THANK YOU" for being exactly who you are in your sense of style, presentation, honesty and a deep seeded admiration of lovely things. Any "haters" or "trolls" out there can bugger off! I think it's a safe and fair observation to say that you have brought a lot of happiness to others in what you're doing. Fortnum & Mason have a motto saying; "delivering parcels of joy", and in your case one could say; "presenting Vlogs of delight". I also thank you for the polite correspondence we have shared on Instagram from time to time. You are a treasure, and I already look forward to next Friday's offering.
Best to you,
Matty 🙏🥂💐
PS. I too am glad Sophie is indeed well.
That is such a nice comment! Thank you so much X
This is what Flower dreams are made of... Sophie will never leave your side, their spirt always stay with their loved ones. Many blessings
Love the vlogs Nicolas, and yes I do think you should update your decor if you feel that it no longer speaks to you. I have done that over the years, and you have the right idea to do it over time, not to brake the budget. It’s very satisfying finding new pieces for an affordable price that changes the look without changing the whole lot, and I can enhance the pieces you are keeping.
It’s hard when our beloved dogs become elderly, they do need their routine, maybe if you have the same dog sitter come every time you have to leave her at home she will get used to that person, and be a bit more relaxed.
Looking forward to the next vlog.
The simplicity of the cloud shot on the plane with a follow through of Sophie sleeping on the train began to give a look into this self-evolution phase that you shared as we journey with you in your vlog. The contrast of the blooming flowers at the Chelsea flower show followed by two very striking statement art pieces for your home gave a hint of this budding self-transformation process. Sophie the Heart of this whole beautiful vlog segment quietly sharing her transformation in the background also - incredible life companion, may her golden years simply be that - Gold!
Happy to hear Sophie is well. Exciting to see your new living room rug.👍🥰
Love the pictures of the flower show, would like to be there in person. Soooo glad to hear little Sophie is OK, you are so good to cut your visit short to take her to the vet.
Thanks for the look at the flower show and glad Sophie is ok. When our pupps get older, even minor disruptions can cause issues.
I fast forward every other UA-cam video I watch except yours. I love every second of what you do on your videos and never want them to end. I had to cut my vacation short too because of my little dog so I totally understand your worries and your priority putting Sophie first.
As our dogs age, (my Standard poodle is 14!) their larynx some times doesn’t function as well & they wheeze & chuff & hack a bit. Excitement makes it worse. My old boy has the same issue when his routines are topsy turvy. I’m glad to hear Sophie is better. Your painting over the fireplace is my absolute favorite!
Bless him!
Yes, Sophie needs a spa day and she will be back to normal! Give her hugs too. Thanks for the tour of the flower show. yes pics over fireplace extending beyond the hearth sounds great! Be well.
Happy to hear Sophie is doing well - I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful flowers from the show & shops - looking forward to see the changes to your living space - change is good
Good evening Nicolas! I’m so glad your Sophie is ok. You’re a good doggie Daddy to make her a priority! I had two doggies, one of whose name was Sophie, too! Mine were never able to be left with anyone either as it was too stressful for them. It is worse on them as they get older. I think you are being wise to consider her. Looking forward to seeing your home updates! Change is good! Take care. 💕
Beautiful flowers and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your adventures and so happy Sophie is back in her happy place and doing well.
Ohhh Nicholas, I am so pleased to hear Sophie is ok! My prayers are going up for you both. My heart feels your fears… as far as you changing decor, we all have seasons! I’m excited to see what you do, and the joy you’ll display in doing it! The best part about changing one’s Decor, especially when you love the existing, is that you can always go back to it later, if you desire. Enjoy playing with your palette! It rejuvenates the soul! With love from Phoenix, Arizona USA. 💗🌵💗
Hi: I love the 2 map/plans wall hangings you got and very happy that Sophie is good. I enjoy your channel very much! You're the type of person that I could hang out with and have a good time decorating, shopping for great fashion - all that fun stuff. Peace and blessings.
That sounds so fun!
Happy to hear Sophie girl is doing well...phew! Love those pictures and a bit of a new as aesthetic for you... Looking forward to the rug as well. My fave color is green, also. Not too many of us out there. Have a lovely Sunday and for we Americans...Happy Memorial Day and God bless those who have gone before us. xoxo
I am so glad to hear that Sophie's check up went well. I believe she feels better with just you and her since she is getting older. With your loving care ❤️ she will be around for more years Nicholas. I like the two pictures that you bought. They are going to look so good on the wall. Glad to see the sconces gone👍 I enjoyed this video.
I'm so happy things are well with your dog. I had to say goodbye to my 12-year-old beagle, Christopher. It was so much harder than I thought it would be even though I still have my 17-year-old beagle. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and the beauty of it. Your videos bring a calm and reflection that helps in these hectic days.
Thank you for showing us the Chealsie Flower Show!! So beautiful.
So happy that Sophie is ok. A lot of TLC from her daddy will get her well in no time. She missed you so much and you ran back home to care for her❤️
Love the new additions of the Edinburgh street maps love it! It’s going to look stunning.
Can’t wait for your next video.
Bravo Nicolas!!!
So happy to hear that Sophie is doing better !!! We had a Shih Tzu too, her name was "Pickles", she lived to 15 years old. We got her when she was 8 weeks old and she weighed only 3 lbs !! She had a cough too at one time or the other and the Vet prescribed the same thing. She lived a long and healthy life !! Sophie is so adorable, I love it when she is in your videos !!! Thank you for showing us around the Flower show, so beautiful !!
Dear Nicolas
I am so glad to hear the Sophie is well
I would like to get u a big virtual ((hug)) because of our concern
Your beloved fur baby
Thank you for sharing your heart I loved how you combined the music with the visual effects of the flowers
Blessings to you and Sophie 😍🥰😘
So happy Sophie’s ok. She’s such a sweet pup. Thank you for sharing the Chelsea Flower show , I’ve always wanted to go. So inspirational. I love your new prints. I believe that when we have things in our homes that are from a past relationship it’s a good idea to give them a new home because they are a reminder . As we grow and change so does our taste. Of course family heirlooms etc are something we should keep and treasure.Just my thoughts.I’m sure it will be wonderful.
I am so very happy that Sophie is doing okay and healthy. I too pray you will have her around for many years. My little Bella, multipoo was just over 14 yrs old when she passed. It was so hard but in time, I now have a new pup, Lilly Rose who is now just over 5 months old.
Loved what you were able to show in your vlog today. Have a beautiful week and happy celebrating the Queen.
Consider this. Wire brass picture lights over each architectural print! It would spotlight them after dark and add a bit of light to that side of the room. Very sophisticated. Very metropolitan. It would look great!
So glad Sophie is well. Stress can be so harmful for pets and humans. Looking forward to seeing your new maps hung over the fireplace. I'm in Scotland for holiday and looking forward to seeing Edinburgh!
What a relief to know that your dear little Sophie is ok! Thank you for taking us to the Chelsea Flower Show with you - it all looked so beautiful. Can’t wait to see your new prints/paintings hanging on your wall! They’re going to look fantastic.
Sweet Nicolas, The black and white plans are wonderful. I love them. I fall more and more in love with your living room wall color each time I see it. When I see you have posted a new you tube I get excited. Your content contains the right amount of this and that. Well balanced. I can't wait to see your new rug. We are so relieved Sophie is on the mend. I find I change my plans for my fur babies. Everyone Be Blessed and safe,
So glad that Sophie is ok♥️ it's always a worry when our pets reach a certain age. Take care,❤️
Thank you!
Thank God Sophie is well happy to know. Thank you the Chelsea flowers are really beautiful.
Glad to hear Miss Sophie is OK. The changes to your home sound interesting. Looking forward to the placement of the new prints!
So glad you have an update on Sophie by the end of the video and that she is doing ok. Love the new map prints and look forward to seeing how you decide to hang them.
Love the idea of the plans, centering over the fireplace...they are very unique and deserve pride of place.
I'm glad you like them!
This video shows what a genuine and self-less person you truly are for putting Sophie before anything and cutting your journey short, you did the right thing so bless you for that. The Chelsea flower show gave you a good idea with those trees in those large planters to add a bit more green into your courtyard. Was wondering if you bought anything from Fiona's whilst youo were there?. Those maps you have bought are stunning , I like the idea of a revamp on your decour, as you say those items were fitting to when you were in your past relationship. You've picked the right samples for the rug great combo there. If you get rid of the table with the cloth on it you could perhaps put the bookcase there, but depends if it looks right and if it fits. I think a two seater chesterfield but in black or cream would look more batchelor pad for you, plus it's not busy like your arm chairs. Ok I've waffled on enough lol....Glad Sophies ok. Have a lovely week till next time, keep smiling lovely :-) xx
p.s Sophie would look great on a china beaker just a thought lol x
Again, you have brought joy to my weekend with your interesting life. After seeing the Chelsea Flower Show and Finona Finds, I feel as if I want to pack up and move across the ocean. I was sad to see the vlog end; I could have listened to you all day. I'm working on my yard right now, so lots of inspiration here. Thank you.
I might suggest that before you hang your art finds, let someone hold one up where you plan to hang it to be sure it doesn't overwhelm the fireplace. It was difficult to tell the actual size of the maps, but they seemed rather large. So excited to see your new rug. I need one, too. Mine has a little kitty damage. Later - after I work on the yard. Sending kisses to lovely Sophie.
I'm so glad your Sophie is fine
I'm sure you are more relieved as well. You both stay safe.🙏Thank you for your lovely vídeos.
You home is lovely and changes are so enjoyable as we advance through our life adventures, your new touches will be enjoyable for all. Glad your Sophie is doing better.
Glad to see Sophie well . Love how you will decor your wall with the Maps picture. Love how you like historical memories about your Endiburgh. You are the best in your ideas for decors.
To tell the truth, I was worried about Sophie. I am relieved she is fine.
I am impressed that you shortened your trip to make sure Sophie was okay.
I love you and Sophie, both.
Cheers!
