My mum was part of the Women's land army in Hampshire during the second World War. She still has her release certificate which is framed on the wall of her care home home. We used to say about her growing up " Don't worry about mum, she's bomb proof". She will be 99 in October. Thanks for a very touching video Kirsten and Joerg.
This cottage was a lovely reminder of a world gone by. I think, as long as we preserve these ornaments and objects they will stay in our memory as a gift for future generations. You did a great job of filming it in such a detail. 😊
Wow Kirsten, this ranks right up top of my favorite cottages. The simpler the better. Yall are so blessed. I love your videos, take care and be safe. Love from Douglas Georgia, USA 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
As always thank you Kirsten and Joerg this has to be my ultimate favourite being a lover of the forties history styles way of life and being a land girl was tough especially for girls who came from gentry backgrounds and had never gotten their hands dirty before but they all mucked in together for the greater good .A very interesting cottage and it is now on my list to go and stay with my husband daughter and two dogs .Great that Glastonbury is so dog friendly .You are both amazing advocates for tourism in the uk and some of these quaint little houses and cottages you frequent are just my cup of tea .Blessings to you both and I will look forward to your next adventure. I have been in Germany and it is also a beautiful place to visit and I hope to return again someday .❤
We should not forget but so glad that Britain and Germany are friends and close allies these days. I loved the cottage and almost could imagine the ladies of the land army shattered after a day on the land , relaxing by the fire in the cottage.
It's wonderful to see history revisited in this exact context you highlighted: two German migrants exploring history, learning new perspectives on their adoptive country and just spreading great good cheer and much forward thought-- poignant when it's acknowledged how informed these cheerful gentle souls are. In a perfect world we'd see enlightened humans with intelligent curiosity, reverence for landscape, history (and aesthetics too) just like Kirsten & Joerg all over the world. Instead, we have unpleasant grievance industries and other deeply upsetting mentalities clashing all over Europe and the West now. If all migrants could be like these two, just IMAGINE what the world would be like...
Thank you so much. I am almost 82 and remember so many of the products in the land girls house! I remember the kitchen cabinet and the stove too! such fun to watch
I was born in October 1945 just 2 weeks after the war ended. This time capsule reminded me of so many items that were common while I was growing up. What a treat! Thanks for the memories!❤
Grandpa had a landgirl working on his farm. Ivy Holman became our 'Aunty' Ivy. Loved this episode...fond memories...the Tell Me game in the chest of drawers, and the split rubber hose for showering from the down spout bath taps... and so much more! Thank you 🎉
They have done their homework with regard to this cottage: it is a museum. This is so important for the generations ongoing. Thank you for showing us so many details. Stepping back in time. Women's effort in wartime has been quite amazing.❤💐
Yvonne DeCarlo was a Canadian/American actress, singer and dancer. She appeared in films and in the 1960s starred in the TV series The Munsters as Lilly, the vampiress. I loved her as Moses' wife in The Ten Commandments.
My grandfather was a farmer , sent to war for 5 years , my grandmother had land girls staying , one day a German soldier landed in the field and the girls made a grab for his silk parachute, my mum was only young but remembers getting a piece of silk . The home guard came and took the German. ❤
Gorrrrrgeous!! 😍 For everybody who has never lain in bed or sat by an indoor fire whilst listening to rain on a corrugated roof, you really need to put that sensory experience on your bucket list. It's wonderful.
So unlike all the other places you've stayed at. I'm 66 years old and the decor sweeps me back to homes in the late '50s and even into the '60s that still looked so much like that.
I will have to say, I've been so entertained with all your adventurous travels and stays, but today takes the 🎂!!!! What a interesting informative peek into another long-gone Era. Thank you both for making so many of us happy to come along❤
Hi Kirsten and Joerg, from Australia. My Mother was a member of the Australian Women's Land Army for the duration of WW11. It was so lovely to see your video today. It brought some lovely memories of stories told to me by my mother and her life long Australian Women's Land Army friends. Sadly now they are all no longer with us. They stayed in some rather primitive accommodation in some parts of Australia, having to stuff their mattresses with hay to keep warm at night. However there was a wonderful comradery amongst them, 0:06 which remained for their entire lives. I am the beneficiary of many letters between my Mum and Dad during this time, which have given me an insight into their thoughts and feelings of a young courting couple, separated by war, at this time. Mum gave a great description of events in the Land Army in her letters to Dad, her then boyfriend. I must confess to only reading them once after my Mum passed and then putting them back into the tin in which Mum kept them safe for all those years. (She even painted it a lovely blue covered with white daisies.) I felt it too intrusive to reread them but I feel as if I now knew a part of them unknown to me beforehand. Jusr so you know, they had a wonderfully long happy marriage together. ❤❤ So thank you again for your video today. 😊
It was a very touching time journey this time, dear Kirsten and Jörg. Indeed. War is such a terrible thing. I hope for the best for us all to never have to experience it, especially for my children and grandchildren.
It's wonderful that they saved a piece of history. It's humbling to think of those who went and stayed at places like this in order to help feed a nation. The fact that women and some children, had to step up to ensure food was grown and factories were manned in order for supplies to be available. I know in the US, materials and food were constantly being sent overseas.
Captain's Paradise, British film, 1953....Alec Guinness and Yvonne DeCarlo. This cottage is such a lovely time capsule of different works women did during WWII.
What a fun and nostalgic video ❤️! It must have been such an honor and privilege to stay in such a historic “Land Girl” house ❤️! Thank you so much for sharing your historic weekend with us ❤️
My nan remembers waiting out raids on Liverpool in her family's anderson shelter. Her dad didn't fight but he was very proud of his 'dig for victory' garden! On the other side, my great-aunt was a nurse and fell for an RCAF fighter pilot. She still had wartime letters and a flying badge from him some 60 years later. Wonderful to see a glimpse of what countryside life would've been like - everyone made do. Thank you!
That big grey cabinet in the kitchen was called the 'Housewife's Helper' - the shelf that pulled down into a small table was designed to make it easy to roll out pastry - that's why flour and sugar was stored just behind it, for easy access while baking. They were extremely popular from the 1940s right into the 1960s - my Mum had one - and then people got their kitchens renovated in the 1970s and 80s, and sadly, many of these old HH's ended up at the tip. I love them - forget air fryers and all the fancy kitchen gadgets of today - these old cabinets were simple, practical and rather charming.
A lot of those things were still around in the fifties and early sixties, I remember them well !! We had that exact bath and taps 😂 and we played a lot of board games then too. Mum and dad long gone but very nostalgic memories, life was much simpler then.
So excited can’t wait love to u both from Maxine. 83yrs young and beautiful daughter Gaily your our favourite love the 40Ss was born in 1941. What a wonderful idea. As usual thanku. So much xx❤
On the front cover of the magazine is Yvonne de Carlo, a Canadian-American actress. She was in many films and on Broadway but was mostly known for her role as Lily Munster in the US tv show 'The Munsters.'
Absolutely love, love this video. My husbands Uncle dated a “Land Girl” while stationed in England. Brought back memories of his stories. Also liked the tour. I am a great fan of the King Arthur legend/stories also. Thanks for the memories!
Way back in the 70's, I remember as children, we had so similar kitchen cabinets. Only ours was made out of a thin metal. My mom loved them. As we were living in an old 2 story farmhouse that was over a hundred years old. The property was completely surrounded by corn and bean fields. The metal cabinets were a huge blessing as in the midwest winters mice always managed to find a way in. The metal cabinets kept the rodents from being able to get into the food & dishes. I remember being my mom's helper by carrying supplies and following her around the house as she "mouse proofed" various nooks and crannies lol. She'd block up a hole with steel wool, metal can lids and either nails or staple gun. But they would manage to chew through the wooden walls in another area within a couple of days. Mom sure utilized those metal cabinets. Even had them for linens, clothes, and games.
That's so interesting. The nurses in their uniforms are smiling although the times were so hard. I remember people having these shelters in their gardens here in Germany. Thank you.
Oh wow what memories for me. The eiderdown on your bed was the same as I had as a child. So warm and I loved the pattern. Yvonne De Carlo was a well known actress I remember her as Lily the wife of Herman Munster in the spooky funny tv show.
The viewing of the WWII Tin Cottage you have most graciously made possible for viewers gives a sweet nostalgic insight into that period and makes it more real for me, a US citizen. Once again, thank you! The view of the air raid shelter was sobering yet speaks beautifully of the will of the human spirit to survive and live. You both do a wonderful job of observing with reverence the remembrance of such a challenge. On a totally lighter and different note, Kirsten, I adore your clothing. I haven't complimented yet but do so now. I love the top (?) with green and blue scallop closure! Wonderfully fun!! Also, congratulate you on the musical score--as usual most appropriate for the setting. Blessings.
Коттедж напомнил мне серию из фильма про Дживса и Вустера. Обожаю Вудхауса!! Так мило , ничего лишнего, все на своих местах. Как всегда приятно посмотреть, и послушать вас❤❤❤❤❤
This house and the music that you are playing brings back memories of my father dancing with his 2 hands with his index fingers up in the air swaying back-and-forth. 😊😊
When I saw the radio, it made me almost see the young women sitting and listening to Churchill for news of the war and encouragement. Definitely the most unique place I've ever seen you stay. I didn't know such places existed. Thank you for showing it!
We watched the land girls on TV. This cottage is very nostalgic. Love the vintage look and items. Great story of the land girl . Thank you for sharing your trip with us Kirsten and Joerg. Cheers Ron and Dovie.
We really enjoyed this video! My mum loved seeing some of the old items that she remembered in the UK during the war, especially the old newspaper of the Coronation of King George VI. We can't believe that nobody has walked off with some of those treasures! Mum's 97 and we all live in New Zealand now. Thank you again, well done! Sue
What a lovely place. So much I remember from my grans house and growing up. We had that rubber shower head that you attach to the bath taps. So fun. Thank you.
I would think it would have been very rare for the Land Girls to have stayed in such luxury. Many stayed in barns and places that were freezing and had no indoor plumbing. I did a lot of research about the women who served. I wrote several novels which I never published about their role during the war. One book was about the women working ont he soil, and another about the women (really girls in their late teens and early 20s) working the narrowboats bringing parts to the north and coal to the south,) and another about studying nursing at the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing in London and then being sent to hospitals where the wounded from D-Day were brought. These women were heros and the country would never have survived without their service. Thank you for bringing this house to my attention. I have been to the UK 55 times but was never aware of this cottage. Jane, Philadelphia
My Nana had one of those cabinets in her kitchen, it was just like the one in this house , it was her absolute pride and joy! I remember her slicing bread on that pull down cupboard and making my sister and I cheese and jam sandwiches after school…happy days ❤️ Great video as always, thank you both.
Mine did too! And she would let me use the drop door as a bed for my dolly when I stayed overnight. Makes me very nostalgic. Glad you shared your memory.
What a terrific video! It’s like staying in a time capsule. The nurses case was fascinating. And, I looove the cabinet in the kitchen with pull down table. I’d happily stay in that little cottage spending hours reading through the old magazines, sipping tea, and blow drying my hair! Ps LOVE the music you’ve selected to accompany the video!
I enjoyed your video, I have a set of the brass flying birds that are on the fireplace, on the back they say made in England, What a colourful place Glastonbury is, wow.
Wow! My mum was a land girl and she worked on a farm in Wiltshire during the war. I remember her saying how physically hard the work was, milking the cows, hay making, harvesting crops but she had a lots of laughs with her land girl friends. And the kitchen cabinet, my parents had one very similar! What a fantastic and very interesting place. Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Oh my ! It's absolutely STUNNING and beautiful. I feel very emotional watching your video. They did a great job restoring this cottage. It reminds my of BBC Landgirls series. These women were heroins.
A Land Girl cottage - Wow. And I love the vintage touches (especially the cabinet and the coronation mugs). Too cool! I’ve enjoyed reading historical fiction novels about this period. What a wonderful step back in history! Love it.
I pushed send on my comment too soon! The treasures under the bed. ❤❤❤❤❤ interesting tour of the Anderson shelter. Wow! This place is a great step back in time.
Wow… I felt ALL kinds of emotions watching this video. Some… very sad and teary… some very quirky and playful and some made me want to flash a ☮️ and ❤sign to mankind, 😊as I am a baby boomer. I must say.. I Honor ALL the women, past and present, that sit in silence and do their do diligence to help a (their) world in need,👍🏻 and Cheers to the accomplished female as Jane Austen often wrote about. Big love and appreciation to you both!!!
This was fabulous! Took me down memory lane of my Grandmother's house. Glastonbury is a great quirky place! So glad you went there. Love your vids 🥰❤️ xx
Hallo an Sie beide, Ihre Videos sind so einzigartig, ich bin eigentlich von jedem sehr begeistert. Sie haben eine außergewöhnliche Begabung, wunderbar. Hier zum Beispiel, die passende Musik. So viel Mühe stecken sie da rein. Vielen, vielen Dank dafür, Birgitt mit Sally
Hello to you both , interesting holiday let. I think more places like that should be preserved. Wonderful location too. I enjoyed my trip to Glastonbury, very colourful and magical.You find so many fascinating places to visit thank you for sharing. Hugs💚🌹
It was good to see the cupboard and the Formica table reminded me of grandma`s house as a kid. There were three brass ducks on the fireplace too. The light switches, radio, telephone and hairdryer all Bakerlite it could be and was molded into anything. The blast tape on the windows a nice touch. I spent ten years working in a care home and spent a lot of time with this generation, fascinating to talk to. Many of the ladies had been land girls or worked in spitfire factories in Birmingham. They did everything on the farm starting with milking the cows at 4.am working until it was dark. I was also told there were no stockings unless dating a Yank. So they would colour their legs with gravy browning and get a friend to try and draw a straight line down the back of the leg with mascara for the seam when going out for a Saturday night dance.
Wonderful video as always 😍 my grandad came home on leave to find the family in the Anderson shelter, buried under the rubble of their house. He dug them out and took them out of London and all the way up to Rochdale in Lancashire, not to return until the end of the war. When we bought our first house, built in 1949, we found under the carpets Lino that was as new. Under that were beautiful pine floorboards and 1940s newspapers protecting the floor. I still have those in my memory chest.
I have the same blue crockery in my cupboard as you had your tea and cake in! The dinner plates are quite small compared to modern plates. My sister bought the set for me over 30 years ago. 💙
What a wonderful video! As a history buff, especially about Britain during World War II, I thank you so much for sharing your time spent in this lovely cottage. 💗
Kirsten und Jörg and a "Night at the Museum", lol. That was awsome guys. I can`t believe all the historic things they keep in this place. Well, the whole place is historic I guess. I wonder why the nurse`s things where still in the cottage. I wonder, what happened to her. Huggs from the Schurwald. 🙂
Absolutely my most favorite era! Love all the movies and books, the music, clothing and makeup, just my favorite. My home is all vintage from 40-60’s. This was very special to me, thank you so much ❤❤❤
I remember that cupboard in our kitchen when I was a child! The pull down table and the glass fronted cupboard! The cooker looks familiar too- blimey am I that old? Just think my parents kept it all and it was built to last( Cornish ware too! ) The table!! 🏴🏴
A great visit and so very special with all the Land Girls history, new to me. What a wonderful thing they did. Thank you also for the Glastonbury difference. 😊
Liebe Kirsten, lieber Jörg ❤️, auf was für eine wunderbare Zeitreise wir dort mitgenommen wurden 👍! Ich habe es sehr genossen, wie authentisch alles bewahrt und gepflegt wurde. Euer respektvoller Umgang mit all den schönen Gegenständen - vor allem mit dem gefundenen Koffer der Krankenschwester - hat mich sehr berührt, vielen Dank dafür 🙏! Euch alles Liebe und einen schönen Sommer 🌺☀️🤗
Vielen herzlichen Dank! Oh der Koffer der Krankenschwester hat uns auch so berührt! Vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte. Ganz herzliche Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende
What a charming little tin cottage! They should put a railing on those stairs. I love all the colors and the old magazines under the bed. I'd be reading them all. What a lot of great shops in that village. Beautiful place!
Interesting decor and theme for this cottage. I haven't found many of those style pots myself I love that you two are great readers as so many places give televisions I never use them when on holiday even the shortest of ones. The hoses for the shower I have used I gave up in the end head under a tap and cloth or a bath. I would never sleep in that attic ;) I have viewed a lot of old Alec Guinness films still trying to find copies makes for interesting viewing a chameleon of an actor. What a fun little cottage and step back in time thanks you two :)
This is one of my favourite of your videos, I absolutely love everything about it, the beautiful cottage, the views, the story about the land army girls, and the music you chose to go with it all, and Glastonbury is the place for me, being an old hippy too, I must go there. Thank you so much for giving us this gem of a tour xxx ❤️
A beautiful tribute to young ladies who did their part during a difficult time. Loved the view from St Michael's near Glastonbury. My brief visit to England only allowed a drive through Glastonbury. Thank you for sharing!
My mum was part of the Women's land army in Hampshire during the second World War. She still has her release certificate which is framed on the wall of her care home home. We used to say about her growing up " Don't worry about mum, she's bomb proof". She will be 99 in October. Thanks for a very touching video Kirsten and Joerg.
This cottage was a lovely reminder of a world gone by. I think, as long as we preserve these ornaments and objects they will stay in our memory as a gift for future generations. You did a great job of filming it in such a detail. 😊
Thank you so much! We so agree and it's so important to never forget.
Haha. Izal loo roll. Great as tracing paper but nothing else 😅
Wow Kirsten, this ranks right up top of my favorite cottages. The simpler the better. Yall are so blessed. I love your videos, take care and be safe. Love from Douglas Georgia, USA 😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
As always thank you Kirsten and Joerg this has to be my ultimate favourite being a lover of the forties history styles way of life and being a land girl was tough especially for girls who came from gentry backgrounds and had never gotten their hands dirty before but they all mucked in together for the greater good .A very interesting cottage and it is now on my list to go and stay with my husband daughter and two dogs .Great that Glastonbury is so dog friendly .You are both amazing advocates for tourism in the uk and some of these quaint little houses and cottages you frequent are just my cup of tea .Blessings to you both and I will look forward to your next adventure. I have been in Germany and it is also a beautiful place to visit and I hope to return again someday .❤
We should not forget but so glad that Britain and Germany are friends and close allies these days. I loved the cottage and almost could imagine the ladies of the land army shattered after a day on the land , relaxing by the fire in the cottage.
Thanks so much for your words!🙏
Absolutely agree.
Thrilled and delighted with this wonderful; step-back in History vlog
So wonderfully presented , thanks so much Joerg and Kirsten. ✍️

You two are examples of what is good in this world.
Thanks so much!
The cottage tour was so interesting! What perfect timing for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. Thank-you Land Girls for your service!
Thank you so much. I am almost 82 and remember so many of the products in the land girls house! I remember the kitchen cabinet and the stove too! such fun to watch

Was one of them yelling, "Don't panic! Don't panic!"?
What a wonderful memorial for the woman who served GB

How wonderful that such an evocative house has been preserved for posterity. A trip down memory for a boy born in 1950. A lovely video.
Such a lovely cottage!..We all owe so much to the land girls!..
I will have to say, I've been so entertained with all your adventurous travels and stays, but today takes the 🎂!!!! What a interesting informative peek into another long-gone Era. Thank you both for making so many of us happy to come along❤
Gosh, it honestly means so so much! Thank you!
Hi Kirsten and Joerg, from Australia. My Mother was a member of the Australian Women's Land Army for the duration of WW11. It was so lovely to see your video today. It brought some lovely memories of stories told to me by my mother and her life long Australian Women's Land Army friends. Sadly now they are all no longer with us.

However there was a wonderful comradery amongst them, 0:06 which remained for their entire lives. I am the beneficiary of many letters between my Mum and Dad during this time, which have given me an insight into their thoughts and feelings of a young courting couple, separated by war, at this time.

Thank you so much for sharing this! May they all rest in peace and their memories live on.
❤@@KirstenJoerg
I love the upstairs bedroom, perfect for 2 children having a fun night.
This is lovely! My mother was a land girl in Wales. She’d be 98 now (I’m 50). So this is lovely to see. What a fab place to stay.
This is one of of the most fun cottages you've shown it's like a living museum, so cozy and beautiful!
I was born in 1950 and remember so much of the memorabilia in this home! Ahhhhh.......so nostalgic!!

Vielen Dank für's "mitnehmen" ihr beiden.Schön,euch wieder zu sehen.❤❤
Wirklich sehr sehr gerne!
That's so interesting. The nurses in their uniforms are smiling although the times were so hard. I remember people having these shelters in their gardens here in Germany. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Yes, we thought the very same.
That's not a 'shelter' rather a corrugated iron house.
We show a so-called Anderson shelter outside!

That truly was a walk down memory lane for so many. I remember smelling insence everywhere you went in Greenwich Village in New York. ❤ 😊
Wonderful timing in connection with 80th Anniversary of D Day.. looking forward to it! ❤
Yes, thanks so much! We hope to see you later.
Good afternoon K and J I love this cottage in New Jersey USA and saw many things from my grandmother’s home and memories thx so much take care 😘🌿🌸🌺

Thanks so much! Oh yes, we tried to watch it but would have to pay for every single episode in only HD quality.
We really enjoyed this video! My mum loved seeing some of the old items that she remembered in the UK during the war, especially the old newspaper of the Coronation of King George VI. We can't believe that nobody has walked off with some of those treasures! Mum's 97 and we all live in New Zealand now. Thank you again, well done! Sue
Thanks so much!
Can't believe 'cos NZ, everything has legs.
Throughly enjoyed the revisit to the past
The cottage life for the Land-girls so
Wonderful.
Thank you Joerg and Kirsten

@@marysmyth8288 Thanks so much Mary!
What a lovely place. So much I remember from my grans house and growing up. We had that rubber shower head that you attach to the bath taps.
So fun. Thank you.
I would think it would have been very rare for the Land Girls to have stayed in such luxury. Many stayed in barns and places that were freezing and had no indoor plumbing. I did a lot of research about the women who served. I wrote several novels which I never published about their role during the war. One book was about the women working ont he soil, and another about the women (really girls in their late teens and early 20s) working the narrowboats bringing parts to the north and coal to the south,) and another about studying nursing at the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing in London and then being sent to hospitals where the wounded from D-Day were brought. These women were heros and the country would never have survived without their service. Thank you for bringing this house to my attention. I have been to the UK 55 times but was never aware of this cottage. Jane, Philadelphia
2 Land Girls definitely stayed there, the tin cottage was a lot smaller in the 40s, kitchen and bathroom were added.
We need to know about this book. If you don't publish it maybe you can spin some stories or narrarate it on your channel.
The chest of drawers with the games in it. It's so fabulous.😊 Everything I see in this house makes me smile and feel warm inside.❤ Love, love it.
It’s really great!
My Nana had one of those cabinets in her kitchen, it was just like the one in this house , it was her absolute pride and joy! I remember her slicing bread on that pull down cupboard and making my sister and I cheese and jam sandwiches after school…happy days ❤️ Great video as always, thank you both.
Mine did too! And she would let me use the drop door as a bed for my dolly when I stayed overnight. Makes me very nostalgic. Glad you shared your memory.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have one of these cupboards and have converted it into a bookcase!
What a treasure chest that cottage is! It’s literally a hands on museum. Just fabulous! ❤
love this sweet couple hosting the video. thank you. very pretty and quaint cottage.
Thanks so much!
What a terrific video! It’s like staying in a time capsule. The nurses case was fascinating. And, I looove the cabinet in the kitchen with pull down table. I’d happily stay in that little cottage spending hours reading through the old magazines, sipping tea, and blow drying my hair! Ps LOVE the music you’ve selected to accompany the video!
Thank you so much Scott! It was so special - the nurse case really touched up deeply. Such a great place to stay.
You always find the most interesting and unusual places to stay Kirsten and Joerg! xx
Thank you, Kirsten, and Joerg. Loving your videos, always.
Another history lesson!!!! CANT WAIT!!!
Can’t wait to see you!
I enjoyed your video, I have a set of the brass flying birds that are on the fireplace, on the back they say made in England, What a colourful place Glastonbury is, wow.
Bless you for your showing us this beauty.
Wow! My mum was a land girl and she worked on a farm in Wiltshire during the war. I remember her saying how physically hard the work was, milking the cows, hay making, harvesting crops but she had a lots of laughs with her land girl friends. And the kitchen cabinet, my parents had one very similar! What a fantastic and very interesting place. Thank you for sharing ❤❤
The old GEC oven ,the general electrical company .
Lovely old cupboards we had one back in the 60s.
The house is so unique, the owners have sourced many original items for the decor. Glastonbury looks amazing too!
Oh my ! It's absolutely STUNNING and beautiful. I feel very emotional watching your video. They did a great job restoring this cottage. It reminds my of BBC Landgirls series. These women were heroins.
A Land Girl cottage - Wow. And I love the vintage touches (especially the cabinet and the coronation mugs). Too cool! I’ve enjoyed reading historical fiction novels about this period. What a wonderful step back in history! Love it.
Thank you so much!
I pushed send on my comment too soon! The treasures under the bed. ❤❤❤❤❤ interesting tour of the Anderson shelter. Wow! This place is a great step back in time.
Wow… I felt ALL kinds of emotions watching this video. Some… very sad and teary… some very quirky and playful and some made me want to flash a ☮️ and ❤sign to mankind, 😊as I am a baby boomer.
I must say..
I Honor ALL the women, past and present, that sit in silence and do their
do diligence to help a (their) world in need,👍🏻 and Cheers to the accomplished female as Jane Austen often wrote about.
Big love and appreciation to you both!!!
Thank you so much! This is exactly how we felt staying at this amazing place.
What an interesting and cool place. Thanks for sharing!. 😎 👍
This was fabulous! Took me down memory lane of my Grandmother's house. Glastonbury is a great quirky place! So glad you went there. Love your vids 🥰❤️ xx
Hallo an Sie beide,
Ihre Videos sind so einzigartig, ich bin eigentlich von jedem sehr begeistert. Sie haben eine außergewöhnliche Begabung, wunderbar.
Hier zum Beispiel, die passende Musik. So viel Mühe stecken sie da rein.
Vielen, vielen Dank dafür,
Birgitt mit Sally
Vielen herzlichen Dank! Ganz liebe Grüße von uns
Hello to you both , interesting holiday let. I think more places like that should be preserved. Wonderful location too. I enjoyed my trip to Glastonbury, very colourful and magical.You find so many fascinating places to visit thank you for sharing. Hugs💚🌹
It was good to see the cupboard and the Formica table reminded me of grandma`s house as a kid. There were three brass ducks on the fireplace too. The light switches, radio, telephone and hairdryer all Bakerlite it could be and was molded into anything. The blast tape on the windows a nice touch.
I spent ten years working in a care home and spent a lot of time with this generation, fascinating to talk to. Many of the ladies had been land girls or worked in spitfire factories in Birmingham. They did everything on the farm starting with milking the cows at 4.am working until it was dark. I was also told there were no stockings unless dating a Yank. So they would colour their legs with gravy browning and get a friend to try and draw a straight line down the back of the leg with mascara for the seam when going out for a Saturday night dance.
Wonderful video as always 😍 my grandad came home on leave to find the family in the Anderson shelter, buried under the rubble of their house. He dug them out and took them out of London and all the way up to Rochdale in Lancashire, not to return until the end of the war.
When we bought our first house, built in 1949, we found under the carpets Lino that was as new. Under that were beautiful pine floorboards and 1940s newspapers protecting the floor. I still have those in my memory chest.
Oh we don' even know what to say - we are glad he could save them and bring them to the countryside.
@@KirstenJoerg Thankyou. On the bright side my mum had a wonderful time in Lancashire and they were all safe 😊
I have the same blue crockery in my cupboard as you had your tea and cake in! The dinner plates are quite small compared to modern plates. My sister bought the set for me over 30 years ago. 💙
Roll on Wednesdays, another great video. Love from Ireland ❤️☘️🇮🇪
Thanks so much!
What a wonderful piece of history. Thanks Kirsten and Jorg.
Das war sehr interessant
🤔!
Und dann Eure gewählte Musik dazu😊!
Euch Dankeschön dafür
🎁🙏💛💐 ♾️!
Vielen herzlichen Dank!
What a wonderful video! As a history buff, especially about Britain during World War II, I thank you so much for sharing your time spent in this lovely cottage. 💗
Kirsten und Jörg and a "Night at the Museum", lol. That was awsome guys. I can`t believe all the historic things they keep in this place. Well, the whole place is historic I guess. I wonder why the nurse`s things where still in the cottage. I wonder, what happened to her.
Huggs from the Schurwald. 🙂
Yvonne di Carlo in the Post magazine was a famous actress back then.
Lily Munster😅
Absolutely my most favorite era! Love all the movies and books, the music, clothing and makeup, just my favorite. My home is all vintage from 40-60’s. This was very special to me, thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Tonya, it was so amazing to stay at this place.
I remember that cupboard in our kitchen when I was a child! The pull down table and the glass fronted cupboard! The cooker looks familiar too- blimey am I that old? Just think my parents kept it all and it was built to last( Cornish ware too! ) The table!! 🏴🏴
Wonderful! I’ll be watching this afternoon from the USA with great enjoyment!❤😊
Oh thank you so much! Can't wait to see you.
A great visit and so very special with all the Land Girls history, new to me. What a wonderful thing they did. Thank you also for the Glastonbury difference. 😊
Liebe Kirsten, lieber Jörg ❤️,
auf was für eine wunderbare Zeitreise wir dort mitgenommen wurden 👍! Ich habe es sehr genossen, wie authentisch alles bewahrt und gepflegt wurde. Euer respektvoller Umgang mit all den schönen Gegenständen - vor allem mit dem gefundenen Koffer der Krankenschwester - hat mich sehr berührt, vielen Dank dafür 🙏! Euch alles Liebe und einen schönen Sommer 🌺☀️🤗
Vielen herzlichen Dank! Oh der Koffer der Krankenschwester hat uns auch so berührt! Vielen Dank für deine lieben Worte. Ganz herzliche Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende
@@KirstenJoerg Vielen Dank 🙏, das wünsche ich Euch natürlich auch ☀️🤗
@Shabby-Tinchen ❤️❤️❤️
What a charming little tin cottage! They should put a railing on those stairs. I love all the colors and the old magazines under the bed. I'd be reading them all. What a lot of great shops in that village. Beautiful place!
Interesting decor and theme for this cottage. I haven't found many of those style pots myself I love that you two are great readers as so many places give televisions I never use them when on holiday even the shortest of ones. The hoses for the shower I have used I gave up in the end head under a tap and cloth or a bath. I would never sleep in that attic ;) I have viewed a lot of old Alec Guinness films still trying to find copies makes for interesting viewing a chameleon of an actor. What a fun little cottage and step back in time thanks you two :)
This is as charming as all get out! So reminiscent of tv shows from WW2! Thank you for a lovely video!❤🇨🇦
We are so happy you enjoyed it, thank you!
This is one of my favourite of your videos, I absolutely love everything about it, the beautiful cottage, the views, the story about the land army girls, and the music you chose to go with it all, and Glastonbury is the place for me, being an old hippy too, I must go there. Thank you so much for giving us this gem of a tour xxx ❤️
Thanks so much!
I love all your adventures and this one especially. So interesting. Thankyou
What a wonderful posting. My favourite ever. I would love a week in that cottage. Time to read the books and play the games. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow what a wonderful find Guys, Thank You for sharing. Charming 😍
Thanks so much! We are so happy you enjoyed it!
😊👍👍👍Вы всегда находите такие места от которых трудно оторваться , смотришь не отрывая глаз☺️❤
Another wonderful video, as always. Thanks so much!!
I love how you match the background music to the era!
Thank you!
Such a good time capsule! This was wonderful to see. Certainly makes you think about the strength of men and women.
A beautiful tribute to young ladies who did their part during a difficult time. Loved the view from St Michael's near Glastonbury. My brief visit to England only allowed a drive through Glastonbury. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much!
