    Stacy it's wonderful how these old homes survive, wonky floors and all. Today we have been trying to level a bookcase in our slightly wonky 250 year old Colonial in New Hampshire. The Priest Holes are incredible to see after all this time and remind me of pretty grim times in English history and the courage displayed by so many for the Faith. A good book about those times is Robert Hugh Benson's "By What Authority" Thank you for the wonderful and peaceful walk through and gorgeous photography!

      It truly is 🙏 The stories these homes could tell. I love all the character the wonky floorboards bring. There are a good deal of houses here that have the priest holes on display, some even let you go inside so you can experience for yourself what it would have been like! Thank you for the book recommendation, I shall check it out 🙏

    Thanks Stacy for another great video, I live in the West Midlands so I've been to these two houses several times. We are so lucky in this country with such amazing historic properties and superb countryside. Your videos help us to appreciate it! Take care.

      Ahh I’m glad you’ve experienced these two locations for yourself 🥰🙏 they’re so lovely. We are most definitely spoilt for locations and historic properties here in the uk. Hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend!

    Such a deep feeling of history! Amazing to see where Charles II hid in order to evade his enemies, along with the secret Catholic (?) chapel. Yes, those floors are showing their age. And we thought the floors in our 92 year-old house were wonky. Your videos are always so relaxing. Sometimes you share more history, other times you let the beautiful views, gorgeous flowers, and historic homes speak for themselves. Thank you for fitting in filming these gems with your busy schedule.

      Isn’t it?! It’s amazing that places like this still exist. Yes, that was a secret Catholic chapel in the loft/attic. Thank you for your lovely comment 🥰🙏 I had planned to share more history with this episode as a voiceover while showing the various rooms but I’ve had a stinker of a cold all week so aren’t sounding too great 😅 so it had to be left as a more visual episode this week and just enjoy the views ☺️ Hope you had a great start to the week.

    Your videos are like going back in time. Love them!!! And when there are so many period portraits on the walls of long dead people, that combined with the faintly melancholy music in the background, it’s just so… thought provoking. Thank you.

    What a treat, Thank-you so much for showing us these stunning houses ,love the ancient woodwork and wonky floorboards and even though it's still early, the gardens looked gorgeous in the sunshine, that very rare thing we all long for after months of gloom. Love the places you take us to.❤
