    I had the incredible honor of touring Highclere Castle back in 2018. Being a Downton Abbey fan, I was floating above the floor when walking through each room. Loved the wonderful people in the gift shop...very friendly.

    Please continue this and forget Ladies Of London-- much more authentic and endearing. Glad you're truly interested in the history of your home, the lives that came before and helping the house go on as a home. Good on you!! 👏👏👏👏

    Prefer living in Mapperton to Highclere. Mapperton has that Mediterranean warm feel with the old stones and beautiful garden surrounded by gorgeous country scenery. Highclere is imposing but looked cold and lonely.

    I would love to meet Fiona. From all of her videos and reading about her, she has done amazing things for Highclere, and seems like a delightful woman.
    I also discovered by accident a few years ago that her husband is my 12th cousin 3 times removed. We are connected through his great grandfather, Alfred de Rothschild.

    Julie, watching your Christmas video now, but have to tell you, in New England, & being of Scottish, Irish & English descent...We've always had mince pies for all our life, and have decorated our homes inside with greens, swags and all the same as your showing from Highclere castle. Maybe the mid west has different customs than New England!

    I stumbled across your channel yesterday, Julie. I have to say, it’s quite interesting. Looking forward to the final outcome of your little home in Italy too. Lastly, where can I find the cost to stay a night or two in either of your locations when the borders open up again? ❤️🇦🇺🌸

    The first time I saw Highclere Castle was in the wonderful Jeeves & Wooster series. Not too crazy about Downton Abbey --- the location and period clothes made it worth watching from time to time.

    In the comic tv series Jeeves and Wooster, (Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie), Highclere is featured quite often.
    Wooster tends to run up and down the stairs. Mostly hiding from his lady friends who are all determined to marry him.... 😉😁😄🤪

      @Pius-XI 3 года назад +3

      Curtsy is only politely requested when meeting a senior member of the royal family from a commonwealth country. You won't have your head chopped off if you don't do it. Here Julie is meeting a member of the aristocrary which she herself is a member of. At the moment though Fiona outranks here by being a countess which Julie will be when her mother in law dies
