  • OUR LAST VIDEO OF 2020: What we learned & our plans// Hello lovely people, We can't believe that this is the last video of 2020. Joerg and I reflect a little bit of what an unusual year this has been for all of us, what we are grateful for and what we would love to do. All the best, here's to a wonderful 2021 and thank you so so much for your support. Kirsten & Joerg xx

    I love your idea of showing the differences between countries and people because I think that differences should be celebrated. It’s what makes life interesting.

    My parents are ages 92 and 95. This is the first time since they’ve been married (66 years) that they have not had family at their home for Christmas. Maybe, just perhaps they enjoyed a quiet day for once. They wouldn’t admit it, though! Dad hauled up the Christmas tree from the basement and decorated it just for the two of them. Sweet, sweet people.

      Dont worry about answering every comment...your viewers understand...keep time for each other, that is what your viewers love to see...your loving interactions and making memories together! I love to hear and see Germany too and you dont have to choose between English or German styles or tastes...you do great blending of likes from each loving ideas, traditions, new foods and traditional recipes etc. It makes for a "real" home with unique styles and traditions. I love that! I would like to see German thrift stores and tearooms as well as English ones. You can be Germans and have love of your own country and heritage, but you can pick and choose what to love in your host countries too. Cute, cozy or beautiful doesnt just exist in one spot of the world...it is to be enjoyed whenever it is discovered! Happy New Year...Love your videos!

Wife and I have visited the UK three times and each time I think to myself, why on earth did I leave. I know why, it was for an adventure and now I'm ready to go back home.

    Despite all the restrictions: I feel very priviledged due to a roof above my head, a warm bed to sleep in, clean and fresh water, food which I can buy and eat, freedom to walk on safe and peaceful streets. This makes me feel rich and blessed. Especially with a refugee centre in the direct neighbourhod. I wish you a very happy and healthy New Year. That puff pastry Christmas tree looks so nice.

    Growing up in a small Midwestern town of primarily Bavarian/Luxembourg descent, I took for granted that everyone would 1. Buy quality items & maintain them well for decades, 2. Take their time to do projects the best they could, 3. Keep an attractive, clean home & garden, & lastly, 4. take pride in a job well done. It wasn’t until I moved away I realized this was the German way, perhaps. Another reason for my affinity to your channel. Plus...that love for English decorating & clothing!

Too much is imported into the UK. I think the pandemic has made the whole world appreciate what we have a lot more and to stop complaining. I spent a great deal of time on Christmas day thinking about the families who had lost their loved ones and friends in 2020. It made me sad but also to appreciate how lucky I am too. I live alone but luckily never feel lonely. Wishing you both best wishes for 2021.

    I agree with you both. Too many people have focused on having the big expensive Christmas with family which many find very stressful and frankly horrendous and they end up in terrible debt. The true meaning of Christmas ends up swallowed up under tons of expensive unwanted or unneeded gifts and huge waste of uneaten food.
    I think it’s been good for us to have a quieter pared back Christmas even though it’s been heartbreaking to not see loved ones.
    It breaks my heart to see how selfish so many people are especially during this pandemic. Thankfully there are also many people who have done amazing things to help others including yourselves. Sharing your life’s and thoughts has been uplifting and it’s lovely to see England from your point of view! When you live somewhere it’s easy to take it for granted and not visit places on your doorstep, so thank you for that too.
    I’d like to wish you both a very Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year xx

I’m sure it’s incredibly hard work to film, edit and upload sometimes but you manage to portray a relaxed, charming and happy place whether it’s at home (which is gorgeous) or when you are out discovering beautiful places. And you are such a great team...

    I live in Mississippi, USA. I have never gotten the impression you wanted to be British! I do love the English quirky style and country interiors which is what brought me to your channel. That being said, my DNA says I am 25% German and 75% northwestern European-so I would love to see German content as well! Much love!

    Ideas??? Everything you have said! Kirsten and Joerg, your channel has given me a "different" perspective of Germany! You two are so precious. You have embraced your adopted homeland and made it your own, while not forgetting your roots! Other ideas: more antique shopping (my favorite), what is Germany know for/customs (food, vehicles, etc...), some basic words in German while you are out on your walks, and mostly...preparing some of your favorite German dishes. I am quite surprise that your channel is mostly English speaking. Have a "Happy New Year" and let's think positive about 2021, I know I am! Bye. Arrivederci, Adios!

    We isolated this year; the first year our two grown kids haven't come home to Florida for Christmas. They are isolating up north as we are here. Staying safe. Still we realize, as you do, how blessed we are. Nobody in the family has so far caught COVID, and we are all taking care to wear masks, wash hands, wipe down groceries, and so on. I attended worship at my home church on Zoom here in Florida, and even had a candle ready for the lighting of candles and singing of Silent Night. You know, when I was a girl growing up in PA, we had some German members, or also people who spoke PA German, which is sort of a low German, and they sang several verses of Silent Night in German. You could have heard a pin drop. That's a wonderful Christmas memory. We had my homemade stollen for Christmas but didn't bother with a turkey since we'd had one for Thanksgiving and the kids weren't home either holiday. Next year will be a much happier Christmas. It is nice to see you two so bright eyed and happy. I am sorry you could not see family for Christmas, but you can look forward to next year like we are. You are so thoughtful and I have enjoyed your videos so much this past year. Thank you and may your new year be healthy, happy and bright.

    I look forward to your Cornwall trip, because if it works out for us to travel again in 2021, Cornwall is on our agenda! I think featuring small, unique makers would be very interesting. As long as they have a web presence where your followers could order a little something because you know they will! Frohes neues Jahr!

During this time, I also found through a DNA site that I am almost 40% German and from Baden where Jorge's home was. It is wonderful to have this in common. Thank you both for make a very hard year much more bearable. Happy New Year! P.S. I love to watch your home videos, with Kirsten cooking and Joerg painting. He is meticulous. Thnx again! Carol

    I'm over a year late for this video but your idea of visiting small businesses is near and dear to my heart. We lost some of my very favourite ones here due to the lockdowns. Small businesses are the heart of communities and I would so love to see some of the ones from the UK that you would be able to share. Yes, the internet has been such a blessing and one is the finding of your sweet channel.

    Hi Kirsten and Joerg, all the things you suggested would be perfect for 2021, plus more of what you did this year. The West Country is my favourite part of the UK, so that would be particularly good. You are so right about appreciating what we have - I was alone this Christmas, because of Covid, but had lovely food and drink, music and plenty of books and was perfectly happy. The small things are all we need right now.
    All the best for the New Year, and looking forward to seeing you again in 2021. Claire, Merseyside, UK.

    I would love to see you visit small businesses to see what they make and how they make their products. I love watching you travel to interesting places and learning about their histories. It is refreshing to see how you are both humble and appreciative of all your blessings during this difficult time. To remember that someone in the world is worse off than me is what got me through this. I also love watching you cook and decorate! You calm me and I look forward to more videos from you in the future. May the New Year bring you and yours health and happiness.

    But I was surprised that I was doing so well being alone on Heiligabend. Thanks to video calls.
    I told myself I am grateful and can do whatever I want.
    I wish everybody a happy and healthy 2021. Much Love to you Kirsten and Jörg and to everybody watching.😘🥰🎉❤️

    The first of your videos I watched was "Our fairytale cottage in Devon". I enjoyed the tour of the cottage and the places you went that day. After seeing other videos, I should like to visit England although I most likely won't be able to. I'm excited to see what you guys have done with the attic room. Also, I like your idea about visiting small business owners. Featuring them would not only be interesting, but would also be good for their business by giving them that exposure. I'm glad you two had a wonderful Christmas. My husband and I did as well. See you soon.

    So good to see you again. Let me say this, there are good kind people every where, we are the same.
    I would love to see Germany and all the nooks and crannies you can show us. I do hope you get to go and see your families. Count me in on every idea you have mentioned and what ever else you come up with. Bring on the BRANDS whooop! I will save up to get quality and spend once rather than buy poor cheap quality items over and over again.
    Looks like there is a very talented baker in the house! Chef Joerg keep up the awesome baked goods, oh I
    wish there was something like that in my kitchen. LOL!
    Thank you guys again for popping in :D

    Thank you for providing the best laugh we had this Christmas. Allow me to explain ;; Sophie and I visited my parents on Christmas morning and as we were going to be alone in the evening, we had decided to watch some of your past video's. To 'hurry up' our goodbye's at my mums, I said, ''C'mon Sophie, we need to get back for our German friends''. Mum thought it was wonderful that we had friends traveling from Germany to come and stay with us. ''Are they staying for the New Year ? We'll have to meet them'' she said. ''What are their names'' ? ''Kirsten and Joerg'', I replied. It then took me longer to explain the facts than it did the conversation we'd had !! Much love to you both. Happy traveling and we wish you a Happy New year.

I love the places you visit because we cant travel to U.K. yet so it is like a vacation for us. Your share such interesting history, views and opinions. Love the house too. Keep doing what you do. I get so happy when I can relax with you.
