After all is said and done, one has to admit Joerg's filming is just so super! Not panning the camera in a hurried way, allows us time to enjoy every detail. Thank you for taking us along.
Aww thanks so much! We both film and are happy you like it!
Agree totally. The careful steady panning is always perfectly judged. So many channels are into manic jump cuts and obnoxious music and I can't soak up any of the atmosphere, study details in a frame or imagine myself in the scene they're filming. Kirsten and Joerg film things so beautifully, so evocatively.
There isn't one tour that I haven't loved. Please take care Kirsten we love you
Oh so kind, thanks so much!
Luar biasa 🎉
Let me just say how much I admire and appreciate your efforts in describing all these gorgeous cottages you've visited so far. This one is spectacular: A perfect mix of industrial and rustic design. The owner did a great job of converting this mill into cottage, you can see she put her heart and soul into it, thinking of every single detail that fits so neatly as if it was there from the start. Thank you for sharing it, you two did a wonderful job. 😊
Thanks so much! It's such a fantastic mill, everything was immaculate and simply superb.
To quote Pop Larkin, that was quite “perfick”🤗! Yes, please do make more Kent videos. It’s such a lovely county. Thank you, Kirsten and Joerg, and thank you, Kirsten, for being such a trooper and filming while being under the weather. I hope you’re feeling better very soon. Until next time, take care🙂🙏🏻
Thanks so much! Hopefully we can return next year - it's quite a drive for us and Joerg took a couple of days off work so we wanted to film more but then I became ill and we couldn't which was so unfortunate.
Hermoso, siii me encantaría pudieran mostrar todo cuanto puedan, de esos maravillosos lugares, no me cansaré de darles las gracias por poder conocer a través de ustedes Inglaterra. ❤️❤️
Dear Kirsten, I am sorry to hear that you were poorly, I hope you feel much better soon.❤ Thank you for showing us around. Claire did a fantastic job on the renovation. I love the cosy bedroom, and the copper wash hand basin. I think my favourite part is the garden and the upstairs staging with the view.
Hello to your dear husband Joerg, and get well soon Kirsten. Love from Dublin, Ireland.❤
So glad you like it, thanks so much!
I don’t know if you truly realize how special you and your videos are! Just delightful! Thank you so much!❤️🇨🇦
Thanks so much!
Sukses selalu 🎉❤
The bathroom is perfect. The History. of the building just speaks to you.
If you live in this village, you must smile a lot that your cheeks hurt. 😊❤ it's so relaxing. No crowds, no skyscrapers, no cars beeping horns. It's utopia.
Which one? Goudhurst is quite busy actually but Benenden is lovely.
I like when people refurbish and repurpose buildings. I hate to see empty buildings falling apart. They did a great job on the old mill. It has such character. Its really very nice. And the secret garden is beautiful! Thats a surprise and a bonus. Hope youre feeling better!❤🌸🌺💐
You two travel to the most beautiful areas. It is amazing to me that you keep finding them. I have to say Kristen that you are persevering showing us all around with a cold (I have a bad cold now and all I want to do is drink tea and “ try” to sleep). You both have a very positive, kind attitude which shines through. You make me want to be nicer. 🥰
Thanks so much! Yes, I have to admit it was hard to create a video feeling poorly but I will get there. Hope you're feeling better soon too.
Absolutely stunning! Yes please to the villages of Kent tour!
I love how you stop at bakeries on your travels! People after my own heart 🍰
How lovely to see Benenden and those villages. I used to teach French at Benenden School and spent many Friday afternoons enjoying a well deserved drink with my colleagues at the local pub. There is a connection with the Three Chimneys and French Napoleonic prisonners held at Sissiinghurst who were allowed on walks up to this point.
The spiral staircase with The Wire meshing keeps the room light and airy. Really nice touch, it's a beautiful room.😊
So glad you like it!
I absolutely LOVE this cottage!!!!! OMG, the woman did such a wonderful job restoring it, perfect, just perfect. Years ago we bought an old car garage, it was 50 feet long, by 22 feet wide, held about 6 cars in it before a bridge to a tiny island was built. Now it is a charming tiny cottage, so I love when people bring something to life again.Thank you for sharing this.
So so glad you like it! It was so immaculate, it honestly exceeded our expectations!
Hello from Alabama USA! This is great. Romantic, rustic, homey and relaxing. The owners put thought and care into the decor of this beautiful old windmill. I could live there. Thank you for another wonderful video, as always. 🤗❤️👍😄
I can hardly believe this village is real--it looks so much like a fairy tale, a fantasy world, a movie set!
I agree with Jorg, you ought to move there. LOL
Its real, Benenden is sublime, Tenterden is busier but amazing and not on the tourist routes, Goudhurst would be a real honeypot but it is marred by traffic.
Just fabulous to watch! Thank you both for sharing the delights of that beautiful county.
Our pleasure!
Really unexpected in an old mill, but so clever and charming. Hope you are well Dear Kirsten . Dominique
Thanks so much for watching Dominique and so glad you like it!
Dear Kirsten and Joerg, each of your videos make my heart feel good! 🥰😘
Absolutely gorgeous!🌼💕🌻
I could definitely live there, absolutely lovely. I hope you both have a safe and well July 4th ( I don't know if yall celebrate it) it will be my birthday but I don't celebrate it. Love your videos, from Douglas Georgia, USA ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
I love a wraparound deck because you can follow the sun throughout the day or follow the shade if you prefer. 😎
That's true!
This place is like a HUGE HUUUGGG FROM THE PAST!!!
Ohmygosh, this comment!❤ That's EXACTLY what it's like!❤
Wow, es ist unglaublich, wie durchdacht diese wunderbare Mühle ist. Industriell passt hervorragend und mit ein paar verspielten Details absolut gemütlich. Und der Garten... ich bin hin und weg 🥰
Es ist toll oder? Wirklich eine so besonsdre Mühle und einfach wunderschön gemacht.
Oh, ja, ein Video von Kent 😍 ich war schon mal dort. Wir übernachteten in einem Oasthouse, Sissinghurst, Cider...ahhh @@KirstenJoerg
Kirsten and Joerg. Beautiful floors and timber frame. Love the way they utilize antique fixtures. It is really cool that they retained the wooden machinery gears. I really like the bird house on the small building. Thank you for finding this wonderful place to share with us. Cheers Ron and Dovie
So glad you like it! It's really breathtaking and we didn't want to leave because we loved it so much.
I hope you’re feeling much better now dear Kirsten xx
👋 KnJ,
Oh dear Kirsten, honey bunny, just get better. I know you will❤
Well…. You have done it AGAIN. I am in tears all the way through😊😊😊. There is just “ something “ in the way this all moves me. Humm?? Sounds a little like a BEATLES song. The Town, the churches… the houses! AND THE ROSES! I can smell them all the way here.
What a clever and unique place. I LOVED IT. The owner has taken GREAT great care to preserve, LOVE, and appreciate all the organic nature of this Mill. That gives me such respect for the owners and The stories it has in its BONES!
I am loving Kent and would love to see more of it. There’s a feeling there of……
A quiet country picnic and serenity. A sort of peace of mind energy, yes??
The weekend treats made my mouth water( OH THE LEMON BUN!!! Yum) as I am trying to get off sugar(😳😬😬😜☺️☺️😬) . All those faces I am experiencing as I continue this.😊
Hope you are feeling better by now and thx so much for all your hard work even when you are feeling poorly.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Sehr gemütlich! Sehr interessant mit der „Bodentür“. Ich mag die Details- echt das Beste daraus gemacht und das charakteristische der Mühle bleibt erhalten🤩. Der Außenbereich ist wunderschön🌳🌿und die Umgebung einmalig 👌.
Grüße aus Köln von Regina und Jörg 🌸🌺
P.S. Videos über Kent fänden wir toll!
Vielen herzlichen Dank! Ja, es war so toll, wir wollten gar nicht mehr weg. Viele liebe Grüße
🥰
I also am so in love with these village's, and the mill house was so unique. The floors and exposed beams, beautiful. Thank you for sharing Kristen & Joerg
Looks beautiful a nice vacation spot to kick back and relax😊
Wow the chocolate meringue ❤
It was really good!
Loved this old windmill. So thoughtfully decorated.
Thank you for showing us this very lovely windmill. It' s so special. I hope you will recover soon, dear Kirsten. ❤
Lovely, I always fancied living in a windmill after watching the tv series , Jonathan Creek, as he lived in one. The owner has done a great job restoring it.
It's so beautiful, isn't it? Couldn't be more perfect.
I was thinking the same.Thank you very rustic.That mirror is just stunning😊
Das ist wieder ein sehr schönes Video. Ihr findet immer einzigartige Häuser bzw. diesmal sogar eine Windmühle 😊. Es hat Spaß gemacht. Danke sehr liebe Kirsten und lieberJörg , ich freue mich jede Woche auf eure Videos 🙏
Dankeschön 😊
Beautiful! Nothing like wood … for me it wraps me in its arms and my blood pressure lowers immediately. What a wonderful decorated homely feel. 💕 Kirsten hoping you recover quickly. As usual a smashing job.
Thanks so much - so glad you like it too!
What a charming place. Its rustic style won me over completely! Please do a series in the future on the villages of Kent!
Wow, I’d like to live there…
It's amazing!
Charming and cozy... lovely!!!
It is always your style of arranging things that offer a unique journey to your viewers. I LOVE IT. THANK YOU AGAIN. There is a quiet flow of time that touches my soul. Thank you. Be Well.
😊😊😊
Definitely more Kent please even though I live in Kent & have been to most parts you always seem find the hidden gems that I may of missed. ❤️🇬🇧
Thanks so much! We would love to do more next year - it’s a long way for us so needs careful planning.
All I can say is 'Beautiful' and thank you. 💓
Yes, more of Kent please. I agree…. New England USA is very much the same in house siding.
Thanks so much for your feedback! Hopefully next year - it's a long drive for us but if we plan ahead it should work. Oh absolutely, been to New England several times and it's gorgeous.
@@KirstenJoerg Yes, more of Kent, please! Although I'm happy to tag along with you no matter where you go.😀
I think this was one of my favorite cottages so far.The wood floors were stunning.Not to big not to small just right.Take care .xx
Everything was gorgeous.
I am so grateful for you two. Love these fantastic places you take us to. God bless you both🙏
I love old mills. So much character. Speaking of character, I do enjoy your music selections for these videos. I feel like I'm watching a Jane Austen movie. So perfectly suited.
The three chimneys come from the French les trois chemins ( the 3 paths).
Have been to Tenterden steam railway several times now and going again on Wednesday with the dementia support group I volunteer with. We always have a lovely time and have lunch on the train. Only trouble is we don’t get to go into Tenterden itself maybe one day x But I always love the trains anyways xx
Oh thank you so much for this special place…I love it ❤️ Love it !
So absolutely Marvelous,
The Converted Mill so charming
Thank you so much Kirsten
And Joerg for this insight of
Village life in Kent.
I loved the Secret Gardens
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Six years of renovation, such a wonderful labor of love. The wooden gears really do add to the feeling of age for that place. I enjoy tagging along wherever you go, I would like to see more of Kent, maybe one day we’ll see the two of you there on Escape to The Country, that would be fun. You guys have a wonderful weekend.
More Kent please!
Eine tolle Mühle ❤. würde so einziehen wollen. Auch der Gegend ist wunderbar.Ist es sicher wert noch mal zu filmen❣️❣️
Danke und liebe Grüße 😘😘
Ja oder? Sie ist so toll, wir wollten gar nicht mehr weg. Ganz liebe Grüße
@@KirstenJoerg Kirsten,wünsche dir Gute Besserung 😘
What a beautiful place you found! I am so sorry you have a cold and wish you better soon. This video was a treat to watch and I look forward, in the future, to seeing more of your explorations of rural Kent. All the very best to you both - hope you got the almond bun before you left to eat on your journey. See you both soon on another adventure.
What a beautiful place! Truly a labour of love for the owners....
Beautiful, yes would love to see more of Kent, thank you!🇺🇸🥰🤗
Wow, that mill is amazing! All the bricks and wood. They look sturdy and beautiful. I agree the village looks nice as well.
Loved this beautiful mill ❤ it’s been lovingly restored. Kent is such a lovely area. Would love to see more 😍 those meringues! ☺️😋❤ hope you feel better Kirsten ❤
What a very special place. The garden is beautiful. It's a lovely area. Thank you for sharing your little getaway with us, Kirsten and Joerg. Take care.
Yes! More Kent! This was a dreamy video. Thank you.
Hi kirsten and Joerg. You can see why Kent is called the garden of England, it is looks beautiful. I loved the attention to detail in the mill and of course the attention to detail from you showing us all these wonderful things and places. Thank You. Get well fast 😀❤xx
What a wonderful place to stay 😊. So sorry you weren’t well Kirsten. Thank you for sharing this very unique place ❤
Oh wow!!! I love every place you visit but these rustic places are my absolute favorites that I could easily live in full time😅❤
So so glad you like it! This place was so beyond beautiful and exceeded our expectations.
Delightful! Please tour some other villages in Kent area. Thank you! Feel better soon, Kirsten!
I just loved the remodeled Windmill. What a great job they did. . Very rustic and comfy looking. I would definitely stay there. So many wonderful places to see. You are very fortunate to be able to tour them and we are blessed that you share them with us. Thanks
Kirsten, what an amazing job Claire has done in sourcing materials, old and new, to make this mill renovation beautiful. It is cosy, as you say, but full of space and light. I like the lack of clutter, but there are still so many interesting things to look at in the building. The garden and town and surrounding areas were lovely as well. I don't know how you tear yourselves away from some of these locations!
Amazing!This Mill is absolutely epic! The lady who refurbished this Mill truly did an outstanding job! It is just so unique, rustic & very beautiful! I have never seen anything like it! The Gardens are also very beautiful! So lush, green & enchanting! What a place! This whole area of Kent looks very beautiful! No wonder Joerg loves it there! That wee Bakery, with all of the goodies there, looked scrumptious! Wow! That had to be the biggest meringue ever!! Huge! It looked like a meal in itself! I also really loved the wee choo choo train there near the end! I really love those old steam trains. I would love to ride on one of them very often! I'm so glad to hear that you are planning to return for more adventures in this wonderful area. So looking forward to that! Thank you both for sharing another delightful experience!🚂
You can ride from Tenterden to Bodiam Castle on a steam train.
@@thewealduk9802 Thank you! I will remember that! However, I will need to get over to England first, a place I truly love. One of the most beautiful Countries on earth! So, when I do get there, these beautiful Gardens will be one of the first places on my list to visit! Blessings to you!🌞
You always find such unique homes. Thank you for sharing. As usual, another beautiful video.
What a great idea to turn this mill as they did.Adore every thing about this place, wonderful 👍👍👍👍👍❤.
My paternal great-grandfather was from Kent and immigrated to New York state. I sure wish I could return to Kent, it looks and feels like home to me! Anyway, he was from the area near Maidstone, and I heard of places like Thurnham, Otham, East Farleigh. If you visit graveyards in these places, the family surname is Seager.
I am thrilled! I do genealogy and my mother descends from thaTyndall family of Tenterden who founded Scituate, Massachusetts. She also has ancestors from Benenden. You're right about the houses in many coastal Massachusetts communities and on Martha's Vineyard were built copying the architecture in Kent. In Scituate, my ancestors from the 1600s are in the Men of Kent Cemetery that is a National Historic Sight. I hope you are recovered from your cold. Kent feels like an extension of the Netherlands to me. Maybe that's why Joerg loves it there.
Hi kirsten and Joerg the houses were so picturesque and gorgeous it was an amazing place ❤
amazing dears Kirsten and Joerg...always surprise me! Details, ambience,history, your music selection, and the peaceful place.Enjoy ! Thank you so much for share.!We are there with you, Irene🤩Take care dear Kirsten , tea with ginger may be...blessings
Beautiful mill Claire did a great job with it . They capt the atmosphere authentic. Very nice. And yes please show us more of Kent .Greetings 💟🌷🇾🇪
What a charming place to have a relaxing holiday. I hope that you will recover quickly Kirsten look after yourself 💐💐
I was just thinking when you showed us the secret garden, have you planted your roses in the new pots? Will you be showing your viewers how they are growing and where they live, in your courtyard or at the front of the house?
Take care xx
Thanks so much! The roses are doing very well - we won't be sharing our courtyard or the front of our house on RUclips I'm afraid. We decided to keep it our private sanctuary - hope that makes sense.
That was a rather fascinating basket-woven chair next to the clothing hanger rail in the bedroom. I’ve never seen anything like it! Great place!
A beautiful, calm and relaxing cottage and garden. Wonderful❤
As a senior American, I would love to live in Kent!
It's got a distressed look about it too very interesting.
Dear Kirsten and Jörg,
I live in California and I am originally from Germany.
Every time I watch your beautiful videos, you make me want to move to England. My dream is to explore England the way you guys do, I have only ever been to Heathrow Airport, that's all I have seen of England on my way to the US. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trips with us!
Love the village
And God bless you Both always.❤.Raquel.
Kent - The Garden of England
Yes!! Also Sissinghurst is nearby which we visited 2 years ago.
Thanks for the lovely upload!
Glad you 2 are having fun in jolly old England! I miss it soooo much! Lieben Gruß aus Kalifornien ❤
I look forward to seeing more of Kent!
Kent villages are beautiful and the countryside Calle the garden of England 🏴 the beaches are nice too lots of bays and castles 🏰
Stunning absolutely stunning I'd love to visit this place thank you for showing it to us it is delightful. Well done to everyone that brought this place back to life 👍🇬🇧
We loved the mill and the secret garden is beautiful!
Please do a video on the villages in Kent next year, that area is so lovely! Thanks for another great time!❤
You found a really cosy place to stay. The bathroom is very nicely planned, I haven't seen anything like it ever. I look forward to see more of Kent in future videos! ❤
Stunningly picturesque villages. How unique to stay in an old mill. Quulaint, but lovely mill. Thanks for sharing.😊
Oh lovely lovely Kristin and Joeri. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know it is Kirsten and Joerg
WOW! What a lovely, rustic, and absolutely unique cottage! It would make a perfect little home! People are so creative. It is amazing how much beauty can be made from bits and pieces of repurposed or salvaged items. The secret garden just added to the romance!
The nearby towns, shops, pubs and restaurants were so picturesque! Summer visits, when everything is lush and green, really make a difference!
I know I would enjoy tours of some of the villages in Kent.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
This is very much my style..we call it cottage/ country style. A wonderful collection of antique, restored furniture and finishings, handmade quits, linens, etc. A neutral colour scheme..love it! ❤ Thank you for sharing this lovely old mill!
I like all the birdies ; outside of the bakery where you were having coffee and cake.. 🐥🐥
Beautiful place to visit with such achar ing mill
Yes, more videos from Kent!
Thanks for the tour. Always interesting to see architecture & gardens. Love seeing the birds & animals we don’t have in Australia.
Also yes on the Kent videos!
Loved to see this part of the world. Some of my family went to Australia in the early 1800's from some of those very villages you visited! Thank you so much. Hope the cold has gone Kirsten and that you are feeling much better.
Very interesting B&B with that secret door to the downstairs. Very lovely gardens, so peaceful and green. That bakery window really called the both of you to come in and indulge in pastries! Seems like a great place to unwind and enjoy the weekend.
Thanks so much! Oh it wasn’t a B&B I’m afraid, it’s a self-catering accommodation.
