    Dear Miranda and Donna, I’m only half-way through watching your beautiful vlog, but I had to pause the video to let you know how much I love the way you care for each other and make each other happy. It brought back memories of my mother and I doing the same and being grateful for the time we could spend together. Thank you!🌷❤

    Dear Miranda, this vlog was one of the most beautiful ones I ever watched. You could really work for the British Tourism Board (if there is such a thing) and persuade everyone to come and visit England. Everything you filmed was just so exquisite, I just want to pack my suitcase and be off to Derbyshire. So so beautiful. In addition it is always such a delight to see your and Donna's kind, friendly and beautiful faces, enjoying food and life in general. One always wishes to be there with you, so it is very kind that you take us along with your camera which is probably very hard work even though everything seems to be so light and easy and lovely. Thank you very much for this wonderful treat and have a lovely weekend!❤❤

    I echo all the previous comments…..the pleasure you bring to us all is hard to put into words. We absolutely love returning to a holiday cottage for a second time…..it really does feel like a ‘home from home’. I’m one of those people who put down roots very quickly…..so as soon as supper is in the oven….a candle is lit……and a vase of flowers is on the table, I’m happy! To be able to share that feeling with your mother must be very special. Bless you both xx

    Just reading Bond Street Story by Norman Collins 1959 and thought of you and your mum.
    He also wrote London Belongs to me which I believe was made into a film.
    If you have not read it I think it may appeal to you and many of your followers.

    I remember the scene in Pride and Prejudice when Lizzy came across a dripping wet Mr Darcey. As a dripping wet Miranda you recreated it very well!
    Thank you for showing us your trip to Derbyshire Miranda, you and your mum are so lovely I could spend a day with you!!
    😃😃 I won’t really but you’re a girl after my own heart, I love houses, gardens, gift shops and the Peak District. I’ve been there, including Chatsworth.
    Who would have thought such a beautiful place is nestled between such big urban areas, Sheffield and Manchester. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. ❤❤

    In August 2010, my parents and I visited Haddon Hall. Jane Eyre is one of my favourite comfort novels so Haddon Hall is Thornfield Hall! My favourite adaptation of Jane Eyre is 2006 BBC version which was filmed at Haddon Hall. As I'm unable to walk and I'm a wheelchair user, I was unable to access the upper floors but the staff were really friendly and informative about the Hall and told me lots of Jane Eyre facts. Haddon Hall is a special place to me. My parents went to Bath in May, mum bought me the Jane Austen bag that you own. Mine is a light colour and I love it. My mum also bought me Emma and Mr Knightley decorations and the Marjorie Bastian edition of Emma which I also love. We have quite a few David Austin Roses in our garden. They're gorgeous and have lovely scents. You both look like you had a wonderful time in Derbyshire. I'm also have a lovely time with my mum too. Take care x

    I live in the US and just found your channel! I so enjoyed the trip with your mum! How fun! I also love books and Jane Austen is a favorite. My daughters and I have watched all of the movies several times. I also love those dresses from Seasalt! I’ve been checking their site and would love to order one. Thanks for such an enjoyable time. I’ve never been to the UK so it was nice to follow along and see some of the scenery, beautiful gardens and fun bookshops.

    What a lovely video Thank you so much as I'm somewhat house bound it's wonderful to go travelling with you I used to accompany my grandparents on holiday when I was a teenager as a helper to my grandad who had MS and lived with us We used to stay in Willersley Castle in Matlock Here is a funny tale My parents having been brought up in Derbyshire chose to have their 50th anniversary at Willersley When I stayed there with my grandparents atvthecage of 13 My room was next to theirs It was very small with a ti y wash basin and the wardrobe was just a space in a small corner with a curtain Well when I stayed on my parents anniversary some 37 years later I realised as soon as I stepped into my room that it was the same room my grandparents had and my small room was now an en suite in the room Somehow it made the celebration extra special as it was like having my dear grandparents with me They were very special to me 😊

    Miranda, almost just a year ago, a little after, my husband and I came to the UK for the first time and I think one of the many highlights was spending the time in that area… We stated an amazing boutique hotel that was top-notch service and absolutely glorious,and then we went to Chatsworth and Haddon Hall and had dinner at the Prince of Wales, which was amazing… Oh my goodness this is bringing such great memories!❤

    If you haven't yet been, Hardwick Hall is a must-see. It's an absolute jewel box, with an impressive collection of 16th & 17th century textiles, some of them wrought by the hand of Mary Queen of Scots.
    It also has an amazing garden.

    Hello Miranda and Donna, this is such a delight. One of my favourite memories of my visit to Chatsworth is the sculpture of the Veiled Lady, which is absolutely breathtaking. I visited in the summer months and enjoyed the beautiful gardens. I would love to visit again, in addition to visiting David Austin to see the rose gardens. I think the idea of a birthday season is great - sending Many Happy Returns, Donna. x

    Really loved this video of you and your Mum in Derbyshire. I live in Chesterfield so these are places we do visit but so nice to see them through your eyes and on film. Keira Knightly is believed to have stayed at The Peacock at Rowsley when filming Pride and Prejudice as did Judy Dench when filming Jane Eyre at Haddon Hall. I also really enjoyed your visit to York. Thanks for all your hard work and Donna too 💕🌸

    What a gorgeous, gorgeous vlog, Miranda! This type of video is the one I enjoy the most. They take me away, to dream I also visit those places. England is so so beautiful. I love how you two enjoy each other's company. Lovely. I loved it so much am gonna watch it again, after a bit of work, as a treat. Tank you for sharing your trips with us. Love to you and Donna.

    Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful stay in Derbyshire with us all. It was utterly charming from start to finish. The cottage where you stayed looked so cosy and I’m so pleased you and your mum had such a lovely time. The roses! I thought of you when I heard about the Emma Bridgewater rose mug coming out a few weeks ago and how special that you managed to get one at David Austen Roses. I do hope to visit there one day. As the late John F Kennedy once said “ we must take time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.” Thank you for all the joy you bring and I’m sending your mum special wishes for a very happy birthday x 🌹 ❤📚 🦆 🦆

    What a coincidence! Hubby and I went to the garden centre this morning and I picked up the latest David Austin catalogue and on the FREE book shelf in the supermarket, I picked up “Up the Garden Path” by Laura Stoddart, A Little Anthology as well as a few other super free books. Fantastic video as always and you both look super healthy and happy. X

    I've been thinking about purchasing a Serious Reader Light so your offer code might be just the push I need to make a decision. It will be very useful for both reading and knitting. I find that when daylight fades I can't knit at all and struggle with reading too because of poor vision.
    A Coronet for Cathie is a favourite of mine by Gwendoline Courtney though I do enjoy all her books. I love The Country Child too.
    I think you were probably in Derbyshire at the same time I was in Rutland, judging by your weather. We were lucky in that we didn't too much rain but it was so cold and windy, not what we expected in June!
    Chatsworth is a wonderful stately home to look round and the gardens are beautiful. Also David Austin's gorgeous roses.
    Thanks for taking us on your trip, everything was very special.
    Had to edit this to say how much I like Crooks Tour, one of Jane Shaw's best titles.

    Thank you for the lovey video! At the beginning I was thinking "I Miranda shows us around the house again" and you did! I must check out those holiday properties as they look delightful. I enjoyed the whole video with all the lovely garden content and wanted to comment on the lovely purchases - I also couldn't resist the David Austin/Emma Bridgewater mug when I saw it advertised as part of a Chelsea Flower Show event I was watching. I have to ration myself to one or two EB mugs per season as I am running out of space but I do love them so I treated myself to that one for "summer"! I also wanted to say that I thought the ivy placemats etc were beautiful - I wondered if they might also work well at Christmas perhaps with red candles. Such lovely things! x

    What an interesting holiday ; the British countryside is so charming (as green as here in Cotentin but with beautiful shops we don't have ; I miss the libraries desperately ; it's so sad to have to order on internet every book you want to read). I love the David Austin 's roses and have some of their varieties in my garden ; they are a joy for the eyes and nose at this time of year. I must restrain myseilf from buying some more since I don't know where I would plant them ! Thank you Miranda for sharing those moments of your life with us !

Of course I would dearly love to visit David Austin roses in Derbyshire!

      You are more than welcome Miranda. I so enjoyed your video of Derbyshire. It was such a treat. I showed my mum and she thought it was magical. Your relationship with your mum is so lovely and reminds me a lot of mine with my mum. So glad you had such a lovely time. I loved the dog painting/picture on the wall to the left of the front door in the lovely cottage you stayed in. I just spotted it in the background! xx😽💐

    Miranda you’ve started me collecting Emma Bridgewater mugs and my daughters bought me some too. Now I shall have to buy the rose one.
    Also I have to say your mother’s hairstyle really suits her and it’s really flattering.
    Thank you for the tour. It was beautiful.
