I have cut myself off almost all the media not to go insane.... I "reward"myself with your videos at the end of each day....such calmness...thank you..
It’s funny you said that because I have pretty much done the same thing. I only watch my select channels on You Tube. I can’t stand the 3 ringed circus the media has become.
I fully agree with you, I have stopped watching main stream media, I don’t wish to hear doom and gloom, and I get enough drama in my work, I love to switch off watching Kirsten and Joerg , as their interests are very similar to my husband and me, and they are lovely people too 🌺❤️🌸🌺❤️
Thank you for welcoming us into your home.it is a form of escapism but we all need to do something to decompress. You are a joy and delight to watch and I appreciate your commitment to us your viewers
I absolutely admire your honesty regarding everyday life, Kristen. For many women around the world, the kitchen is their therapy & relieves their stress too. One must never forget to treat ourselves with breakfast or go out get your nail done or even massage. Thanks for sharing the German cake recipes. Have a great evening to you both.
Thank you for your videos, they are really cosy and relaxing. I'm from Ukraine. Unfortunately, the situation is stressful in my country now, but the videos help to recharge not only your batteries but mine as well.
You are always so sweet, dear Kirsten.! I wish you woulnd't have to explain that you and Joerg are hard working people. Of course you are! Why can't people just enjoy your beautiful videos and be grateful for all the beautiful places you enable us to discover. Envy or jealousy are not welcome. Thank you for your constant kindness along with your artistic skills.
Another wonderful video from your favorite couple. Mr. & Mrs. cozy simple living. Watching you guys both helps to inspire me, and yet also relaxes me. Blessings and hugs to all who are reading this. Love from upstate New York.
I'm of German decent. One of my favorite desserts is Apfel Kuchen. I use my great grandmother's recipe. It's been passed down thru the generations and is written in German. I love spending a relaxing day cooking and baking too. It connects me with my family and is so cozy. Thanks for sharing your cozy day. Sending much love.❤
Sometimes we all need a day to just switch off Kirsten , I work as staff nurse in A&E and it’s vital that at times when I do get time off, I can do things that are relaxing , and that’s why I love the National trust and English heritage , looking at antiques and enjoying the countryside , loved this video 🌺❤️🌸🌹🌺❤️
Everyone has to figure out their own way to relax and enjoy life, so I would never say that I want your life, but you do inspire others and provide good ideas to make life more cozy and peaceful. I begin my day with Bible reading, praying for others, and meditation. If I don't begin in my prayer room, my day just isn't the same. As my school year is nearly at an end (I am a teacher), I plan to spend the summer reading more, finding beautiful things in antique shops, and generally just finding ways to stay calm. Thank you once again for your videos. They mean so much to me and others. God bless you and Joerg.
Hi darling, you are always so calming amd inspiring. You ve got a special strenght. You re calm, smiling and sweet❤ Hugs from a woman from the estreme south of italy
Taking a bit of time for one's self is so important. Do not get anxious about anything Kirsten, try and relax. I think some people think you just film and upload it. What many do not realise is that it takes so much time to choose the right bit of footage, find the right music to match and then bring it together. Your videos are the best as a result and we all look forward to seeing that notification of an upload and enjoy them so much. Wishing you and Joerg a wonderful weekend.
IT WAS SO LOVELY TO SPEND A COZY DAY WITH YOU, DEAR KIRSTEN!!! YOUR BREAKFAST LOOKED SO DELICIOUS!!! YOUR CAKE LOOKS FANTASTIC!!! I LOVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL PLACE SETTINGS AND POTTERY AND FRESH FLOWERS!!!💖💖💖💖💖
I had a cozy cup of tea with you while enjoying this video. Everyone needs a day to themselves for relaxing. Glad you enjoyed your well deserved time off!
You inspire me to always find joy in the simple things, to make the ordinary extraordinary. “It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life” ~J.R.R. Tolkien Thank you!
This is really lovely. Every detail -- your table presentation, your lovely outfit, preparing a visually beautiful recipe, the perfect background music. Thank you, Kirsten. So inspiring to all to try to make every day something special!
Here in America we love our little weekend vacations, ( which I believe you call 'a holiday' there). Sometimes we don't even go anywhere so we call it a "Staycation". I just cherish the time spent in our own cottage and garden. So refreshing
I simply love your channel. The simplicity of your content and your sweet nature combined is just a pure joy to watch. Oh and I saw that book ‘Dinner with Mr Darcy’ just last week too and I immediately thought to myself “Oooh I bet Kirsten would like that” ! I hope Joerg enjoyed the cake and hope you both have a lovely peaceful weekend 💕
Just beautiful, Kirsten. The calmness that you bring to your videos, is like a tonic to my soul. The Burleigh, is gorgeous- especially, the pink and pale blue pattern. Love the sugar bowl, as well. Your trips to the Burleigh outlet, still remain, my favorites.
This video is everything thank you so much Kirsten you definitely make me feel like I've escaped my everyday life every for 15 minutes. We appreciate your efforts ❤
Hallo Kirsten,jeder Morgen müsste so gemütlich beginnen,wie Deiner,einfach gemütlich und besinnlich.Der Kuchen sah übrigens sehr lecker aus, hätte auch gern ein Stück davon gehabt.Freue mich aufs nächste Video,alles Liebe, Ulrike ❤️🍰
I love the way you spend your morning time. It's quiet. I'd like to have the same time. My mornings are so rushing that I forget to think about the flavor of the dish.
I loved spending time with you in the kitchen, Kirsten! Time taking care of ourselves is always well spent!! 🥰🤗♥️Being self employed myself, I can testify that can be more stressful than having a regular job! Also as an introvert, I so often feel the need to recharge and be alone, and cooking is very therapeutic! I spent 10 years in London in my 30's (I'm in your age bracket) and I left a piece of my heart there and still have friends... miss it every day and feel out of place here. Even though Northern Italy is not very far (and I often go to Germany!) my dream is one day to be able to go back permanently... so I can totally relate about your feeling called to England! Never stop dreaming!! Much liebe to you ♥️
Thank you so much Marina! Most definitely - being self-employed it's hard to stop. I absolutely love what I do but self care is so important. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can return to the place your heart desires. Sending much love.xo
I totaly agree , I never throw anything away, things that are 30 years old means the quality Is also good , and they become even more special if they have bene handed down by Simeone you loved.🌻
Your video is so calming and stress relieving, and the cake looks delicious. It’s so important to see that having a quiet day at home in the kitchen is not a wasted day but a vital one, we’re all so busy filling our days, but taking time to relax and do small things we love is so important. Life affirming as always 😍 xx
Simply lovely, very nice to spend the afternoon with you. Your tea set is so very pretty, makes me want to make your cake and set the table. Will definitely be making your beautiful cake. Cheers!
Hallo, Kirsten, es ist so wichtig, sich Zeit zu nehmen. Solche Tage bringen das innere Pendel wieder zum ruhigen Schwingen und die Seele wird erquickt. Wir brauchen das alle, und nicht zu selten! Danke für's schöne video!! (Und das leckere Rezept!)
Kirsten, I wish you were my neighbor! Your parents raised a dear, sweet, beautiful, talented young woman. I enjoyed a most peaceful time today. Thank you for the work you put into your wonderful videos.
Yes, a day to escape, a day to breathe, do something new or just "me time" simplicity with spoiling ourselves, a necessity to forget everything around except beautiful, delicious & new to oneself or other's .... I've been wanting to do different cake this is it💫 Thank You, will try German cake too with fruit🥂
I find your videos so uplifting. You must be incredibly busy putting your videos together, it must take hours. We all need days to recharge our batteries. ❤️
Your cake looked amazing! You deserved every slice for all that you do for others. My husband and I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next. You are never alone, Kirsten, as you and Joerg are part of our family. xo 🌸🌿💕🌷
I’ve always enjoyed your calm demur & beautiful relationship with your husband. You work so well together & your videos are always a welcome treat! The places you visit are stunningly gorgeous & peaceful! I can now understand why you need to relax so well on your weekends! Like many of us, our daily lives are truly busy & hectic, but you’re fortunate to have found a great way to de stress! And, we are all extremely thankful for the kindness you share & your valuable time as well! Thank you for sharing a bit of yourselves & your lives!! Best wishes always!!!💐👏🏻
Dearest Kristin & Joerg, Months ago I stumbled upon your You Tube Channel. Your videos are beautifully done (especially your visits to different areas of England). Thank you for making your videos and sharing them with us. Fondly, Monique
❤ I AM SO GLAD TO SEE KIRSTEN RELAX N UNWINDING. SHE IS AN AMAZING COOK N BAKER. I LOVE THE CHINAWARE USED IN SERVING IT MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK SO CLASSY N ELEGANT I FEEL MR. DARCY COMING OVER AT ANY MOMENT LOL. I REALLY LOVE THE PINK FLORAL CREA PITCHER N PLATE EVERYTHING IS SO ELEGANT N CHARMING. WE ALL NEED A BREAK FROM THE STRESSFUL LIVES WE HAVE. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEOS KEEP POSTING THEM, THEY RELAX ME JUST TO WATCH. 😅
It is a stormy day two years later as I view this video. It was lovely having you bake and chat while I sit here with darkened skies. You brought sunshine into a gloomy day!
Liebe Kirsten, du hast vollkommen recht! Man sieht immer nur die perfekte Fassade, aber was dahinter steckt ist harte Arbeit und ihr habt auch schlechte Tage wie wir alle…. Umso wichtiger, sich eine Auszeit zu nehmen, besonders in diesen harten Zeiten! Dein Kuchen sieht wunderbar aus🥰liebste Grüße auch an Jörg! Lots of love from Iris aus SB💐👋
Absolut, das ist so wahr. Da ich selbständig bin, kann es manchmal echt zu viel werden aber es macht so viel Spaß, weil ich genau das mache, was ich immer wollte. Einfach toll! Ganz ganz leibe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende für dich.
Kirsten, this is one of my all time favorite videos from you! Gorgeous filming, staging, what you are wearing etc. etc..!! Also, I enjoyed your talk about your "real" life and everything else you talked about too. The German cake you made looks divine. I can't wait to make it! Thank you so much! 💕😘💐
This is so lovely watching you relaxing in your beautiful kitchen... I always try to do the chores and pace myself now I'm retired so I can have a more gentle lifestyle...AND you will never guess this could happen My mother used to make this cake... She would just call it German apple cake.. I never knew the RECIPE unfortunately she died with me never knowing it..... SO THIS WAS MENT TO BE THANKYOU KISTEN FOR BRINGING BACK A CHILDHOOD MEMORY... ♥️🤗♥️I will make it soon 💋
Kirsten , I love the way you honor your lovely possessions , even the magazines . When my grandma passed away and we were going through her " junk " as my sister kept calling it , I told her that gran obviously thought very highly of a little non-descript figurine from the dollar store because there on the bottom , written on a piece of tape was my sisters name and the date that she had given it to her some 40 years before . My sister looked pretty sheepish and that was the end of that.......I enjoy all my bits and bobs just the way gran did and you do ! .....Cherryl from Canada
Hi Kirsten, your videos help me relax and feel positive, especially if I’ve had a frazzled, hectic day. I so love watching all the little and big ways you share the beauty of the simple and true treasures in life. Thank you!
It is all so true .You are escapism for many people.I really enjoy the beautiful things,your china ,your glassware,your relaxing voice ,beautiful clothes and make up .Of course the recipes and the visits everywhere!!!🎉
Your videos always allow me to escape. In these days and times if the only way i can escape is to watch your videos then I’m completely happy with that. And it saves me tons of money on traveling.
Another peaceful vlog..thankyou. How generous of you Kirsten to share about the reality of your non vlog days.😊 Only certain viewers would want to believer your everyday lives were as relaxing and problem less as you lovely vlogs. The rest of us know you are real folk with real life times. Escapism for a brief moment is what the doctor orders. We are pleased they are healing balm for you both as well. God be with you.
It's Gwenda! Oh my! I love this one-on-one visit with you!! It seems as if you are visiting with ME!!! How adorable and thoughtful !!! I know there are many other friends you have out there that feel as I do!!
You are a lovely being and your videos are very enlightening. You come across as very sincere and we so benefit from you each and both. Much gratitude for sharing. Scrambled eggs are comfort food. I think I need some this morning.
Kirsten. I LOVE the way .You set your table for your meals.i am the same way.To put a nice dishes and candles and tablecloth and I put cloth napkins. I LOVE the color of your hair. And LOVE what u are wearing. I noticed your nail polish and lipstick Everything about you it's beautiful. I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR voice From a 77 years old lady I am French Canadian from Canada Enjoy your cooking 💕💕
You are so right about the little things in life. I tend to get uptight very easily as well. Getting out in nature, yoga, reading, meditating, and a sweet treat are my go to for helping my mood and anxiety. Your cake looks lovely!👍😀
I loved spending a cozy morning with you. I really do love and pray for you both. I am not hidden agendas, you both mean the world to be. Love my lovebirds!
Really enjoyed spending some time in your cosy kitchen with you. My husband & I are the same. We are so busy on week days & love to relax & enjoy the weekends making lovely memories & enjoy the simple things in life. I love the Country Living magazine too ❤️ love getting inspiration from it. I enjoy spending time in the kitchen cooking lovely food for the people I love. Thank you for sharing this lovely vlog Kirsten. ❤️🍓🫖☕️🥮 a cup of tea, Country Living magazine, lovely roses, beautifully set table & cake, bliss! ❤️
Thank you so very much Kristen for sharing your beautiful day ,starting off with a wonderful breakfast 🥞, The cake 🍰 looked amazing. I do hope your day until to be relaxing. Have a wonderful weekend with your wonderful husband. Love Joanne
Hello Kirsten, thank you so much for this delicious recipe, I have made it today for tomorrows dessert, if I knew how to send a picture of it to you on instagram I would do so. Such a lovely peaceful video, you are an inspiration to us. When ni told my friend about making the cake she thought it would be very complicated but it wasn't as you make it so easy for us to follow plus you always give to us the full recipe, so thank you so very much to you both, I'll let you know if the family like it. You both take care now. 🍰👍🏼🙂💝
Let me say I would love to have more content about the German people and their traditions and lots about the countryside. I adore this post. Thank you from a women that wants to learn about my heritage 💕
I am having a wonderful cup of herbal tea while sitting on my very comfortable recliner chair. The cake looks delicious! Very relaxing video to watch after a busy morning. Thanks Kirsten.
That book looks like so much fun. And, thank you for waiting to taste the cake! That must have been so frustrating for you. It looked wonderful! Fun video!
Hello Kirsten, I love how you appreciate the beauty of your plates and tea ware. You remind me of a higher class from years past. I truly enjoy all your videos and anxiously am waiting for the video of your finished attic room. Take care keep smiling. Your Canadian girlfriend xo
I always enjoy your videos Kirsten and Joerg. Nice to see you relaxing with a lovely brekkie....enjoy! :0) and thank you for sharing that yummy cake recipe.
Think we all do need to stop and rest and enjoy quietly a moment in our life, especially when we begin to feel overwhelmed by life's buisiness. My mom was German on her dad's side. So do have some German in my background and my husband does as well. My great grandparents came to America from Germany and they bought up a whole road in the country near the country village and I spent many weekends staying there. My cousins lived across the road and grandpa wanted my parents to build a home across the road, but they never did we lived in town. But I got to be in the village and also country so enjoyed both ways of life. Your videos relax me. You both live your life in a way that seems more real than many others on the vlogs. TY! Cannot wait to try making this cake!
I think this video is a valuable lesson. I’ve owned my own business in LA for 35 years and it is easy to work round the clock, one must rejuvenate to thrive, great ideas snd by the way luxury gas nothing to do with money.. I grew up in Canada working class but we always had lovely China and good meals! Thank you
I love watching you and Joerg cook... it's so relaxing... and always looks yummy! Thank you for sharing your cosy day... I understand that it's not always like this... but the lovely calm times you share are so healing to the soul... thank you... take care
Kirsten and Joerg I love all your videos. You are both so sweet and interesting. Joerg is so cheeky, my husband and I always smile at him. My husband is amazed at your filming and editing. You both do a beautiful job . My husband is from England and thoroughly enjoys your tours to places he's never been . Keep up the great job . Greetings from British Columbia.
Thank you, Dear Kirsten! I feel Just the same Sometimes and I create for myself a little bubble of beauty such as watching One of your video or reading a book together with a nice cup of one of my favourite tea Such as hibiscus+grenade, or coffee, or just walking! It Is a good way to recharge and/ or unwind ! Please take care and stay safe! Bisous d'Alsace 😘❤️🌹🍀
I so much understand how busy you are during the week! We own a small Castle with a very big garden and ever since we bought it we are busy from dusk till dawn. Especially now when we are renovating everything and I cook for the painters, carpenters and gardeners. I feel like mrs crocombe and the lady of the manor at the same time. Litterly runnig upstairs and downstairs 😅. But some people think we can rest and enjoy the garden and the house, but we hardly do, every day it’s a full time job. And twice a year we have an open garden with lots of visitors so the garden have to be very well maintained. And always something happens unexpected like a tree comes down when it storms or rains or the trees have to be maintained or the roof is leaking or a statue falls down after it rains. We live in an escapisme environment but it’s a world on our own but we love it and never want to go back to the modern world in a modern house. I love your channel and looking forward to it every week😍 escapism’s have saved me from getting depressed when I lived in a big city. Love and greetings from the Netherlands
Thank you, Kirsten ~ it's nice spending some time in the kitchen with you...It was a very cozy experience. And I can relate to what you said...I make time Each day to relax and spend time in some type of enjoyment. Recharging and Celebrating YOU is vital! By the way...your cake looked so yummy.. Take time for You every day, dear one ~
Seriously those days you spend by yourself and get to indulge in small pleasure are amongst the most enjoyable. I think whats important about them is it teaches you to love your own company and to invest time and care into yourself. I love doing things for others but often not for myself I had some counselling some years back I was struggling with anxiety after a health event. My counsellor asked me a question What do you do for yourself? I cried because I realised I had forgotten to love and nurture myself. Ive certainly turned that around I love to have "breakfast" I set up the table I cook myself eggs on toast I use my great grandmothers embroidered placemat my grandmothers teacosy for my teapot. I sit in quiet with my dog and cat and take my time to eat think look and enjoy the moment. ITs so soothing sets my day right. OF course that idea of escapism comes at cost theres preparation and organising and cooking then cleaning up (for you filming the shots right?) but when Im sitting there finally enjoying its good. Loved this thanks Kirsten! PS: Im making that cake it looks delicious.
Each of us has to decide what we want in life and do our best to achieve it. To wish we had someone else's life is only pointing out how unmotivated you are to do what it takes to do and enjoy the life you have . Change is hard but only limited to what you are willing to put in to it. It really is worth the effort so we don't wish we were someone else.
Your channel is much more than escapism to me. I stumbled upon your videos for the peaceful countryside escape but stayed because the both of you are such a joy to watch. I tend to get anxious and drained when watching UA-cam content so often tied to gossip, scandals and clickbait culture. When watching you both, I say "with Kirsten and Jeorg, I am safe".
I look so forward to your videos Kirstin and I know you work very hard making and editing them - so thank you :), plus responding to all the mail. I also am partly self employed and know what it's like to also run a home on top of that. We all appreciate everything you do, plus it is such wonderful escapism. You've now got me hooked on Burleigh pottery too, even all the way over here in New Zealand !! Blessings to you - take care and enjoy those pampering days ~ Linda
Es ist nicht nur ein gemütlicher Tag, es ist wie immer so wunderschön anzusehen, der gedeckte Tisch mit allem drumherum , man genießt sozusagen mit . Und natürlich der Schmandkuchen, den ich allerdings mit Aprikosen lieber mag. Sehr entschleunigendes Video, Danke!
Let’s keep escaping together. This video was like a day off for me. Happy you can tell when you need a special day. Will try cake and search for this tea. Looks yummy. Take care
I just love to watch your videos!! You and Joerg have a gift of transporting one to the English countryside!! I wish I were living there and were your neighbor! Thank you for bringing us into your cozy home!! 💖💖
Thank you Kirsten. Your table setting is very pretty! I get anxious also and forcing myself to dial down and relax can be difficult. Thank you for sharing the lovely cake recipe.💟
I have just discovered your channel. I love all things Emglish. I have never been to England, but through you I can travel there. I really enjoy you and can't hardly imagine you getting anxious. Your voice is so calming. I appreciate your channel, seeing the places and gardens and even the food. Thank you so much for sharing . I also liked your special day you shared with us. It was very nice.
Hello Kirsten thankyou so much for such a lovely video. It was such a joy to spend some time in your kitchen ,my favourite place.Lockdown has done things to me that I never thought it would .In the beginning it was lovely with the warm sunshine and eating outside etc .As time went by and not seeing my family ,every day the same and not being allowed to go anywhere ,I just lost interest in life which is not like me . I didn't want to cook or bake but we have to eat so I forced myself into the kitchen and found that once there it made me feel much better . I think it was the creativity that took my mind off life outside . I love how honest you are and the joy you get from enjoying the simple things in life .Your cake looked delicious and I'm sure that Joerg enjoyed it when he got chance to eat it .Please keep on doing these videos as they give me such pleasure watching you bake ,and I find them so relaxing .God bless you XX ❤️
Lovely breakfast. I always have to smile when I see others putting a smear of jam on their toast. I have a little toast with my jam, ha, ha! Great video. Thanks
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe, i will try it soon.( must eat also gluten free) You looks so beautiful in your lovely dress in the kitchen! So happy with all of your videos🥰
Hello Kirsten, Have you ever thought of making a relaxation video? your calm quite voice is so relaxing in these stressful times,by the way your cake looks a delight.
Hi Kirsten, it is so important that you have mentioned the topic mental health. In the UK this week was a mental health week but also beside this week the topic is so important for everybody. At the beginning of the pandemic I felt very aydin so I thought I can handle it. But then some private issues came around and now the pandemic situation with all the stuff around has very deep impact on me. I can't sleep well, I am nervous, very scary (when a door is closed by the wind for example). We all should take time for us and take care about our wellbeing.
I have cut myself off almost all the media not to go insane....
I "reward"myself with your videos at the end of each day....such calmness...thank you..
About the same here. Kirsten and Joerg always bring a smile.
It’s funny you said that because I have pretty much done the same thing. I only watch my select channels on You Tube. I can’t stand the 3 ringed circus the media has become.

Oh my gosh guys, me as well! The media/tv insanity out there, vs.tranquility/beauty on this channel.
Hello, I am from Assam (in India) where the British discovered tea! Love your slow paced videos. They are a balm in today’s chaotic world.
You help us relax and remind us of the smaller things in life. We love it. Our few minutes of escapism. I'm glad it is therapeutic for you too 🌹
Thank you! Only therapeutic when we watch the videos, the process itself can be very stressful lol.
@@KirstenJoerg I totally understand 🌹
Thank you for welcoming us into your home.it is a form of escapism but we all need to do something to decompress. You are a joy and delight to watch and I appreciate your commitment to us your viewers
Unfortunately, society does not encourage self care. So much of the focus is on work. This is a gentle reminder and for that I thank you!
I absolutely admire your honesty regarding everyday life, Kristen.
For many women around the world, the kitchen is their therapy & relieves their stress too.
One must never forget to treat ourselves with breakfast or go out get your nail done or even massage.
Thanks for sharing the German cake recipes. Have a great evening to you both.
Thank you for your videos, they are really cosy and relaxing. I'm from Ukraine. Unfortunately, the situation is stressful in my country now, but the videos help to recharge not only your batteries but mine as well.

Taking a bit of time for one's self is so important. Do not get anxious about anything Kirsten, try and relax. I think some people think you just film and upload it.

Time taking care of ourselves is always well spent!! 🥰🤗♥️Being self employed myself, I can testify that can be more stressful than having a regular job! Also as an introvert, I so often feel the need to recharge and be alone, and cooking is very therapeutic! I spent 10 years in London in my 30's (I'm in your age bracket) and I left a piece of my heart there and still have friends... miss it every day and feel out of place here. Even though Northern Italy is not very far (and I often go to Germany!) my dream is one day to be able to go back permanently... so I can totally relate about your feeling called to England! Never stop dreaming!! Much liebe to you ♥️
Thank you so much Marina! Most definitely - being self-employed it's hard to stop. I absolutely love what I do but self care is so important. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can return to the place your heart desires. Sending much love.xo
I totaly agree , I never throw anything away, things that are 30 years old means the quality Is also good , and they become even more special if they have bene handed down by Simeone you loved.🌻
Your video is so calming and stress relieving, and the cake looks delicious. It’s so important to see that having a quiet day at home in the kitchen is not a wasted day but a vital one, we’re all so busy filling our days, but taking time to relax and do small things we love is so important. Life affirming as always 😍 xx
Simply lovely, very nice to spend the afternoon with you. Your tea set is so very pretty, makes me want to make your cake and set the table. Will definitely be making your beautiful cake. Cheers!
Hallo, Kirsten, es ist so wichtig, sich Zeit zu nehmen. Solche Tage bringen das innere Pendel wieder zum ruhigen Schwingen und die Seele wird erquickt. Wir brauchen das alle, und nicht zu selten! Danke für's schöne video!! (Und das leckere Rezept!)
Kirsten, I wish you were my neighbor! Your parents raised a dear, sweet, beautiful, talented young woman. I enjoyed a most peaceful time today. Thank you for the work you put into your wonderful videos.
Yes, a day to escape, a day to breathe, do something new or just "me time" simplicity with spoiling ourselves, a necessity to forget everything around except beautiful, delicious & new to oneself or other's ....
I've been wanting to do different cake this is it💫
Thank You, will try German cake too with fruit🥂
I find your videos so uplifting. You must be incredibly busy putting your videos together, it must take hours. We all need days to recharge our batteries. ❤️
That was indeed cozy, and so relaxing. Thanks for sharing thoughts about your ordinary days. You are so genuine and I admire that very much.
Your cake looked amazing! You deserved every slice for all that you do for others. My husband and I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next. You are never alone, Kirsten, as you and Joerg are part of our family. xo 🌸🌿💕🌷
I’ve always enjoyed your calm demur & beautiful relationship with your husband. You work so well together & your videos are always a welcome treat! The places you visit are stunningly gorgeous & peaceful! I can now understand why you need to relax so well on your weekends! Like many of us, our daily lives are truly busy & hectic, but you’re fortunate to have found a great way to de stress! And, we are all extremely thankful for the kindness you share & your valuable time as well! Thank you for sharing a bit of yourselves & your lives!! Best wishes always!!!💐👏🏻
Dearest Kristin & Joerg,
Months ago I stumbled upon your You Tube Channel. Your videos are beautifully done (especially your visits to different areas of England). Thank you for making your videos and sharing them with us.
Fondly,
Monique
❤ I AM SO GLAD TO SEE KIRSTEN RELAX N UNWINDING. SHE IS AN AMAZING COOK N BAKER. I LOVE THE CHINAWARE USED IN SERVING IT MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK SO CLASSY N ELEGANT I FEEL MR.

It is a stormy day two years later as I view this video. It was lovely having you bake and chat while I sit here with darkened skies. You brought sunshine into a gloomy day!
You are absolutly right...make yourself a nice day with a marvelous breakfast and enjoy it! The little things save the day😉💓
You compelled me to go get a cup of tea and a cookie to enjoy while I watched! Delightful!
Every one should do this for there self. You guys are so amazing. I do this when i feel out of sorts.
Thanks so much!
The cake looks delicious, I love your tea cups and saucers.
There is something about the sound of teaspoons in a cup that is peaceful
Liebe Kirsten, du hast vollkommen recht! Man sieht immer nur die perfekte Fassade, aber was dahinter steckt ist harte Arbeit und ihr habt auch schlechte Tage wie wir alle…. Umso wichtiger, sich eine Auszeit zu nehmen, besonders in diesen harten Zeiten! Dein Kuchen sieht wunderbar aus🥰liebste Grüße auch an Jörg! Lots of love from Iris aus SB💐👋
Absolut, das ist so wahr. Da ich selbständig bin, kann es manchmal echt zu viel werden aber es macht so viel Spaß, weil ich genau das mache, was ich immer wollte. Einfach toll! Ganz ganz leibe Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende für dich.
@@KirstenJoerg 🌹♥️
Sweetness. Living richly yet simply.
Kirsten, this is one of my all time favorite videos from you! Gorgeous filming, staging, what you are wearing etc. etc..!! Also, I enjoyed your talk about your "real" life and everything else you talked about too. The German cake you made looks divine. I can't wait to make it! Thank you so much! 💕😘💐
A beautiful "stolen" moment...to enjoy the simple things. Thanks Kirsten...now I need to get back to my garden. Lol
Thanks so much lol!
This is so lovely watching you relaxing in your beautiful kitchen... I always try to do the chores and pace myself now I'm retired so I can have a more gentle lifestyle...AND you will never guess this could happen My mother used to make this cake... She would just call it German apple cake.. I never knew the RECIPE unfortunately she died with me never knowing it..... SO THIS WAS MENT TO BE THANKYOU KISTEN FOR BRINGING BACK A CHILDHOOD MEMORY... ♥️🤗♥️I will make it soon 💋
Awww thanks so much! Yes, it's the perfect cross between an apple and cheese cake, really good.
Kirsten , I love the way you honor your lovely possessions , even the magazines . When my grandma passed away and we were going through her " junk " as my sister kept calling it , I told her that gran obviously thought very highly of a little non-descript figurine from the dollar store because there on the bottom , written on a piece of tape was my sisters name and the date that she had given it to her some 40 years before . My sister looked pretty sheepish and that was the end of that.......I enjoy all my bits and bobs just the way gran did and you do ! .....Cherryl from Canada
Hi Kirsten, your videos help me relax and feel positive, especially if I’ve had a frazzled, hectic day. I so love watching all the little and big ways you share the beauty of the simple and true treasures in life. Thank you!
Even on a cozy day in the kitchen you are working., You and Joerg are the hardest working people
It is all so true .You are escapism for many people.I really enjoy the beautiful things,your china ,your glassware,your relaxing voice ,beautiful clothes and make up .Of course the recipes and the visits everywhere!!!🎉
Your videos always allow me to escape. In these days and times if the only way i can escape is to watch your videos then I’m completely happy with that. And it saves me tons of money on traveling.
Another peaceful vlog..thankyou.
How generous of you Kirsten to share about the reality of your non vlog days.😊
Only certain viewers would want to believer your everyday lives were as relaxing and problem less as you lovely vlogs.
The rest of us know you are real folk with real life times.
Escapism for a brief moment is what the doctor orders.
We are pleased they are healing balm for you both as well.
God be with you.
We cherish your videos. Your quiet calm ‘escape’ for us is a blessing. Thank you!
It's Gwenda! Oh my! I love this one-on-one visit with you!! It seems as if you are visiting with ME!!! How adorable and thoughtful !!! I know there are many other friends you have out there that feel as I do!!
You are a lovely being and your videos are very enlightening.
You come across as very sincere and we so benefit from you each and both.
Much gratitude for sharing.
Scrambled eggs are comfort food.
I think I need some this morning.
Thanks so much!

Enjoy your cooking 💕💕
You are so right about the little things in life. I tend to get uptight very easily as well. Getting out in nature, yoga, reading, meditating, and a sweet treat are my go to for helping my mood and anxiety. Your cake looks lovely!👍😀
I loved spending a cozy morning with you. I really do love and pray for you both. I am not hidden agendas, you both mean the world to be. Love my lovebirds!
Really enjoyed spending some time in your cosy kitchen with you. My husband & I are the same. We are so busy on week days & love to relax & enjoy the weekends making lovely memories & enjoy the simple things in life. I love the Country Living magazine too ❤️ love getting inspiration from it. I enjoy spending time in the kitchen cooking lovely food for the people I love. Thank you for sharing this lovely vlog Kirsten. ❤️🍓🫖☕️🥮 a cup of tea, Country Living magazine, lovely roses, beautifully set table & cake, bliss! ❤️
Thank you so very much Kristen for sharing your beautiful day ,starting off with a wonderful breakfast 🥞, The cake 🍰 looked amazing. I do hope your day until to be relaxing. Have a wonderful weekend with your wonderful husband. Love Joanne
We enjoyed relaxing with you Kirsten. A little of what you really fancy as a treat is often enough to cheer you up. You don’t always need big things.
Hello Kirsten, thank you so much for this delicious recipe, I have made it today for tomorrows dessert, if I knew how to send a picture of it to you on instagram I would do so. Such a lovely peaceful video, you are an inspiration to us. When ni told my friend about making the cake she thought it would be very complicated but it wasn't as you make it so easy for us to follow plus you always give to us the full recipe, so thank you so very much to you both, I'll let you know if the family like it. You both take care now. 🍰👍🏼🙂💝
Awww I'm so so happy to hear that Christine, thanks so much for letting me know.
Let me say I would love to have more content about the German people and their traditions and lots about the countryside. I adore this post. Thank you from a women that wants to learn about my heritage 💕
I am having a wonderful cup of herbal tea while sitting on my very comfortable recliner chair. The cake looks delicious! Very relaxing video to watch after a busy morning. Thanks Kirsten.
That book looks like so much fun. And, thank you for waiting to taste the cake! That must have been so frustrating for you. It looked wonderful! Fun video!
Hello Kirsten, I love how you appreciate the beauty of your plates and tea ware. You remind me of a higher class from years past. I truly enjoy all your videos and anxiously am waiting for the video of your finished attic room. Take care keep smiling. Your Canadian girlfriend xo
Life is insane and exhausting at the moment. Thank you for a moment of blissful escape.
I always enjoy your videos Kirsten and Joerg. Nice to see you relaxing with a lovely brekkie....enjoy! :0) and thank you for sharing that yummy cake recipe.
Think we all do need to stop and rest and enjoy quietly a moment in our life, especially when we begin to feel overwhelmed by life's buisiness.
My mom was German on her dad's side. So do have some German in my background and my husband does as well. My great grandparents came to America from Germany and they bought up a whole road in the country near the country village and I spent many weekends staying there. My cousins lived across the road and grandpa wanted my parents to build a home across the road, but they never did we lived in town. But I got to be in the village and also country so enjoyed both ways of life.
Your videos relax me. You both live your life in a way that seems more real than many others on the vlogs. TY!
Cannot wait to try making this cake!
I think this video is a valuable lesson. I’ve owned my own business in LA for 35 years and it is easy to work round the clock, one must rejuvenate to thrive, great ideas snd by the way luxury gas nothing to do with money.. I grew up in Canada working class but we always had lovely China and good meals! Thank you
I hope you had a wonderful day, Kirsten. Hello, Joerg! Hope you are both well.
I love watching you and Joerg cook... it's so relaxing... and always looks yummy! Thank you for sharing your cosy day... I understand that it's not always like this... but the lovely calm times you share are so healing to the soul... thank you... take care
Kirsten and Joerg I love all your videos. You are both so sweet and interesting. Joerg is so cheeky, my husband and I always smile at him. My husband is amazed at your filming and editing. You both do a
beautiful job . My husband is from England and thoroughly enjoys your tours to places he's never been . Keep up the great job . Greetings from British Columbia.
Thank you, Dear Kirsten! I feel Just the same Sometimes and I create for myself a little bubble of beauty such as watching One of your video or reading a book together with a nice cup of one of my favourite tea Such as hibiscus+grenade, or coffee, or just walking! It Is a good way to recharge and/ or unwind ! Please take care and stay safe! Bisous d'Alsace 😘❤️🌹🍀
I so much understand how busy you are during the week!
We own a small Castle with a very big garden and ever since we bought it we are busy from dusk till dawn. Especially now when we are renovating everything and I cook for the painters, carpenters and gardeners. I feel like mrs crocombe and the lady of the manor at the same time. Litterly runnig upstairs and downstairs 😅. But some people think we can rest and enjoy the garden and the house, but we hardly do, every day it’s a full time job. And twice a year we have an open garden with lots of visitors so the garden have to be very well maintained. And always something happens unexpected like a tree comes down when it storms or rains or the trees have to be maintained or the roof is leaking or a statue falls down after it rains. We live in an escapisme environment but it’s a world on our own but we love it and never want to go back to the modern world in a modern house.
I love your channel and looking forward to it every week😍 escapism’s have saved me from getting depressed when I lived in a big city.
Love and greetings from the Netherlands
I agree that it is important to take a day off every so often. There’s nothing like having the time to linger over breakfast or go for a walk.
Thank you, Kirsten ~ it's nice spending some time in the kitchen with you...It was a very cozy experience. And I can relate to what you said...I make time Each day to relax and spend time in some type of enjoyment. Recharging and Celebrating YOU is vital! By the way...your cake looked so yummy.. Take time for You every day, dear one ~
Seriously those days you spend by yourself and get to indulge in small pleasure are amongst the most enjoyable. I think whats important about them is it teaches you to love your own company and to invest time and care into yourself. I love doing things for others but often not for myself I had some counselling some years back I was struggling with anxiety after a health event. My counsellor asked me a question What do you do for yourself? I cried because I realised I had forgotten to love and nurture myself. Ive certainly turned that around I love to have "breakfast" I set up the table I cook myself eggs on toast I use my great grandmothers embroidered placemat my grandmothers teacosy for my teapot. I sit in quiet with my dog and cat and take my time to eat think look and enjoy the moment. ITs so soothing sets my day right. OF course that idea of escapism comes at cost theres preparation and organising and cooking then cleaning up (for you filming the shots right?) but when Im sitting there finally enjoying its good. Loved this thanks Kirsten! PS: Im making that cake it looks delicious.
Each of us has to decide what we want in life and do our best to achieve it. To wish we had someone else's life is only pointing out how unmotivated you are to do what it takes to do and enjoy the life you have . Change is hard but only limited to what you are willing to put in to it. It really is worth the effort so we don't wish we were someone else.
Your channel is much more than escapism to me. I stumbled upon your videos for the peaceful countryside escape but stayed because the both of you are such a joy to watch. I tend to get anxious and drained when watching UA-cam content so often tied to gossip, scandals and clickbait culture. When watching you both, I say "with Kirsten and Jeorg, I am safe".
Thanks so much!
I look so forward to your videos Kirstin and I know you work very hard making and editing them - so thank you :), plus responding to all the mail. I also am partly self employed and know what it's like to also run a home on top of that. We all appreciate everything you do, plus it is such wonderful escapism. You've now got me hooked on Burleigh pottery too, even all the way over here in New Zealand !! Blessings to you - take care and enjoy those pampering days ~ Linda
Thanks so much Linda!Oh so happy to hear you love Burleigh too.
Es ist nicht nur ein gemütlicher Tag, es ist wie immer so wunderschön anzusehen, der gedeckte Tisch mit allem drumherum , man genießt sozusagen mit . Und natürlich der Schmandkuchen, den ich allerdings mit Aprikosen lieber mag. Sehr entschleunigendes Video, Danke!
Let’s keep escaping together. This video was like a day off for me. Happy you can tell when you need a special day. Will try cake and search for this tea. Looks yummy. Take care
I just love to watch your videos!! You and Joerg have a gift of transporting one to the English countryside!! I wish I were living there and were your neighbor! Thank you for bringing us into your cozy home!! 💖💖
Thank you Kirsten. Your table setting is very pretty! I get anxious also and forcing myself to dial down and relax can be difficult. Thank you for sharing the lovely cake recipe.💟
I have just discovered your channel. I love all things Emglish. I have never been to England, but through you I can travel there. I really enjoy you and can't hardly imagine you getting anxious. Your voice is so calming. I appreciate your channel, seeing the places and gardens and even the food. Thank you so much for sharing . I also liked your special day you shared with us. It was very nice.
Hello Kirsten thankyou so much for such a lovely video. It was such a joy to spend some time in your kitchen ,my favourite place.Lockdown has done things to me that I never thought it would .In the beginning it was lovely with the warm sunshine and eating outside etc .As time went by and not seeing my family ,every day the same and not being allowed to go anywhere ,I just lost interest in life which is not like me . I didn't want to cook or bake but we have to eat so I forced myself into the kitchen and found that once there it made me feel much better . I think it was the creativity that took my mind off life outside . I love how honest you are and the joy you get from enjoying the simple things in life .Your cake looked delicious and I'm sure that Joerg enjoyed it when he got chance to eat it .Please keep on doing these videos as they give me such pleasure watching you bake ,and I find them so relaxing .God bless you XX ❤️
Lovely breakfast. I always have to smile when I see others putting a smear of jam on their toast. I have a little toast with my jam, ha, ha! Great video. Thanks
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe, i will try it soon.( must eat also gluten free) You looks so beautiful in your lovely dress in the kitchen!
So happy with all of your videos🥰
Hello Kirsten,
Have you ever thought of making a relaxation video? your calm quite voice is so relaxing in these stressful times,by the way your cake looks a delight.
What a lovely way to begin your day.
Hi Kirsten, it is so important that you have mentioned the topic mental health. In the UK this week was a mental health week but also beside this week the topic is so important for everybody. At the beginning of the pandemic I felt very aydin so I thought I can handle it. But then some private issues came around and now the pandemic situation with all the stuff around has very deep impact on me. I can't sleep well, I am nervous, very scary (when a door is closed by the wind for example). We all should take time for us and take care about our wellbeing.
