Kirstin, I was crying with you as I could feel your distress! Please don't hide your heart it's what makes you and Joerg so wonderful...your caring Souls ~ Adventures are all about the Unexpected and yours was certainly that~ so glad you were reimbursed...Safety First! Hugs!
I am so impressed how you took a somewhat bad situation and still made a very good, positive video! Says a lot about both of your personalities. Very positive and strive to always have a good outlook on life. I was crushed to see you cry Kirsten :( but Joerg is such a lovely man, comforted you and helped you to feel better. What an amazing couple you are! Still, I really enjoyed the video:) I really enjoyed the Mrs Crocombe skit...lol so funny :)
I regularly watch your channel , , ,it makes me happy and grounded inside , and gives me a warm feeling inside ,, the glimpses of the many locations across the English countryside are an immense joy to behold , we your fans are with you and Joerg wherever your charming journeys take you , keep up the excellent work, so proud of you both ,God bless !
The way the two of you balance each other is lovely. So sorry for your inconvenience ,but so glad you left. Joerg, you are so wise to have left. God Bless!
Oh Kirsten en Jörg,tut mir so leid für Euch. Ihr habt Euch so gefreut. Trotzdem Danke fürs Video👍.Thats life too. Wünsche Euch das nächstens mal das alles in Ordnung ist. Wir sind ja schon verwöhnt mit 2 Videos von Euch diese Woche. Lg😘
I love that you shared this video - showing how sometimes unexpected things happen, and it can be such a sad thing. This is so true for anyone who travels, or in just day-to-day life. But you still have high hopes and will carry on! Strong spirits persevere!
So sorry your weekend was cut short, you did the right thing. Felt so bad when you cried big hug. Glad you got to meet Mrs. Crocombe it was so cute how you said you were nervous that you had a hard time filming. You are a great couple and we enjoy everything you show us. ❤️😊
I’m so sorry for your horrid experience especially you Kirsten seemed terribly upset by the whole experience.You definitely did the best thing by leaving. You both looked so much happier and relaxed when you were home. As I always say you are the sweetest couple so sensitive and understanding.Onwards and upwards .Looking forward to another great video from you both.xx
Thanks so much Kim! Absolutely, we were completely done after one day and kind of exhausted because of the experience and without knowing the outcome just left. As soon as we entered the house, we knew something was not right. Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
Kirsten I am so sad you got so sad. Your health and safety comes first and you both did the right thing. That's life. Look forward to the next trip!!! 😋🌻❤
Thank you for being so honest, humble and down to earth. You are not staging anything and just showing us reality not like other Influencers just the positive aspects. I felt so sad for you both, but I'm glad they will refund you and apologized. That is so important. And still you showed us amazing and wonderful content. Looking forward to your next videos. Thanks Kirsten and Jörg. ❤️☺️
I’m so sorry! The video was still interesting and soothing as usual! Of course I love your travel vlogs, but you could film something like “here are some magazines on my coffee table” or “here is my slipper collection” and I would still watch and enjoy! 😂❤️
I felt really bad for you guys, seeing Kirsten cry almost made me cry. Every now and again travel plans don't work out, next time will be better I'm sure! Thanks for sharing this story. ❤❤
You made a wise decision; health comes first... always. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and hopefully, you will get to do the trip some other time again. I enjoyed the Mrs. Crocombe part of the video; that was so funny and Kirsten's admission to being a bit starstruck at meeting her.
Oh this broke my heart for the two of you ! The sweetness of Joerg when he said “cut it” 💗 I love that he loves you so much. I know you both were so disappointed to cut your stay short but very happy to know that EH did the right thing and refunded your money ! I would have been a bit shy aka star struck too Kirsten 😉 she’s wonderful !
Thanks so much! Aww he actually spoke German and said 'Komm', ist gut' which means 'It's all good' to calm me down. I completely broke down when I stopped filming. But it was amazing to meet Mrs Crocombe and Mrs Warwick, never expected it in a million years.
Kirsten & Joerg aww that it’s even more beautiful ! I had a feeling you might have really fallen apart after you stopped filming...and I totally understood why. I felt it. Being stuck at home since March has taken its toll ...I know your next trip will turn out perfectly💗. Oh yes, meeting Mrs Crocombe & Warwick had to be amazing. I am so happy for you ☺️
Aww, I so very sorry that your trip was cut short. I know this was a big disappointment to you both, as it is always saddening whenever our plans get dashed and we are forced to return home feeling empty and unrewarded. It is, however, encouraging that your money was refunded, so now you two can plan for another adventure, and I'm predicting that the next will be doubly special. Take care, stay safe! Looking forward to the next outing! xx
Love that you shared your feelings. It’s good to talk about what you’re going through and I’m sorry the trip didn’t work out but you got to meet Mrs. Crocombe! Love her!
I’m so sorry your accommodations were so disappointing. The grounds were so beautiful! I was excited for you to meet the cook! I love her on RUclips. The kitchen was so beautiful. Hopefully those little joys make up for the accommodations. I’m so glad they refunded you! Thank you for sharing even a disappointing trip. 💕
Thank you so much Rachel! Yes, it was a terrible experience and the best decision to just leave. Mrs Crocombe was so unexpected so it was a lovely surprise. Hope you're keeping well.
Oh, Kirsten, I shed a tear when you teared up. You and Joerg are the very essence of sweet yet substantial. What a shame to have your retreat dashed like that. Now, that being said, you met Mrs. Crocrumbe!! Mrs. Crocrumbe!! I watch all her videos. I am so having a Hollywood moment over the fact that you met Mrs. Crocrumbe. She is a mega wattage star of the 19th century! Thank you for yet another wonderful video. I watch each one trading in my New England daily life for a good ramble in the countryside with you. Cannot wait until the next adventure whether it's traveling, rambling, or decorating.
Thank you so so much, that's so kind! Yes, it was so unexpected to meet Mrs Crocombe, it was the best distraction. Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
I’m so sorry for your bad experience at this place... take care and do what you must. Thanks for some lovely excursions round Britain! You both do this so well! It’s an amazing place like so many old places in Britain... Thankyou! Take care of yourselves! Greetings, from CSx
Regardless of what happened, still loved your video. Life happens. It’s ok. Yes I love it when you take us on your journeys and show us places that many of us will never see in person. But, you 2 are the key element of your videos. That’s why I’m watching them. Thank you as always.
I felt like I was there with you walking around the back of the “house” through those lovely gardens. Beautiful photography and music. Thank you for that. ❤️ Some holidays just don’t work. Sorry this one was so painful for you. I’m thrilled you were refunded your money. ❤️
I am so sorry for your terrible experience. I'm glad it was resolved to your satisfaction. I love your videos! I am an unashamed anglophile. I've visited twice from here in the US. Looking forward to visiting some of the places you've highlighted in the future. I have to say....you are so blessed to have a husband like Joerg who so obviously loves you and has no problem showing affection toward you in pubic.
I'm so sorry about your experience. They should have informed you but I hope you got your money back. Thank you for trudging on like great soldiers. You're both awesome and I know we all appreciate your sharing with us!
Kirsten & Joerg, I think you were so wise to make the decision to leave a place that you didn’t feel was safe! I also appreciate that you made this video of ups and downs because, as you said, that’s life! Glad that your money was refunded and you must have felt wonderful to get back to your own home, which is SO lovely! Kirsten, I also loved that gorgeous blouse you wore at the end of the video. I suspect it makes you happy when you wear it. Thank you both so very much for your videos. It gives me the opportunity to take a virtual vacation during a very stressful time here in the USA. Judy from Arizona
Oh my goodness, the home was so beautiful and the grounds. I am just amazed at the history. I totally enjoy being around historical buildings. If only the walls could talk. I am glad they refunded your money. That is a lot for a weekend. There are times when it is necessary to let establishments know what you find to be unacceptable. My poor husband always left these things up to me. He always knew when I was not pleased with a purchase or experience and he would look at me and I would say "hun bun you might want to wait outside while I chat with....." They need to know when things are not as they should be. I totally get your disappointment. I would have been crying too. I am very sensitive although some think I am not. So sorry you had to leave early but I was glad to see the house and Mrs. Crocombe, how cool was that! Glad you made it home safely and looking forward to your next video. Wanda
Thank you so so much Wanda! Yes, we definitely want to visit again when the house itself opens, that must be amazing. Yes, it was something we just couldn't accept, when it comes to health there's just no compromising. Mrs Crocombe was so unexpected, she is such a character.
Just got into this video. It is good to cry , sweet lady Kirsten. It helps to relieved your sadness. But just cry for awhile. So sorry for your sad weekend. Please take care, you both
Safety first always! You only get one life to live, wise to protect it always. You met Mrs. C! No weekend is ruined when you are together. Hugs to you both, cheers
I like your videos because you both are honest and authentic about your experiences! I am glad that at the very least you had the highlight of meeting Mrs. Crocombe,
Oh dear im so sorry your weekend was spoiled but you cannot take any chances where your health is concerned. Kirsten i would have been upset too but hopefully your next trip wherever you go will be wonderful for you both. But thank you for showing us around. The kitchen wae great all those lovley copper pans and jelly moulds.
So happy to see another video from you this morning and as usual, so beautifully filmed. So very disappointing that you weren’t offered alternative accommodation so you could see out your weekend. You have waited so long to get away. Meeting Mrs Crocombe would have been amazing! You said you were a little star struck which is how I’d feel if I met yourself and Joerg in my travels. You are my favourite on RUclips and I would watch any video you made no matter the content. Thank you for sharing your experience with us xx
Thanks so much Lyddie! Yes, we would have loved to stay somewhere else, however English Heritage only has about 10-12 houses in the UK so I think it wasn't possible. Mrs Crocombe is such a character!
So sorry you had an unpleasant experience after much anticipation, but if I may say, you looked very pretty! Delightful outfits and the colors really suit you. Love Joerg’s calm demeanor - he’s your rock! Stay well.
Oh...so sorry to hear that, but happy because you're safe at home now. You were protected and done the right thing. I send a big hug to you from Argentina :)
I’m so sad for you, how heartbreaking. Many hugs to you and hope you get passed this huge letdown. Seeing Mrs. Crocombe would cure just about anything. So much love!❤️
Thanks so much dear Tonya, we so appreciate that. Never in a million years did we expect to meet Mrs Crocombe, this day had all kinds of emotions. Sending love your way as well.
Oh I’m so sad for your weekend 😞 I am glad you are going to get a refund! I support you in all you do. I know you are not ones to complain but bad gas/oil smells and headaches are too much to bare! I love the video because it shows the real life. Love to you both from Maine ♥️♥️
Thank you so much Carolyn. Yes, we could smell it as soon as we entered the house and wanted to leave straight away but were on the road all day filming, it was just awful.
Hi Kirsten& Joerg. Thankyou for sharing your experience at Audrey edge. Even though it didn’t go to plan . Never mind these things happen . I’m so glad they are refunding you though. Cheer up. I’m sure you will have many more lovley adventures. Very nice that you got to see mrs crockham and the kitchen. Take care and lots of love to you both . M. XX
Thank you for your kindness and generosity in sharing apart of your life with us. I love your gentle spirit. I am so inspired to see a glimpse of were my family is from.
So true: not every travel experience is a fine one. This reminds me of the time my hubs and I rented a car for an autumn trip to Vermont--and the car was a lemon and kept breaking down. We hardly saw a thing, and to make matters worse, the leaves were already off the trees thanks to a freak storm. But you know what? The memories seem amusing in retrospect, another "adventure" shared by the two of us!
sorry your trip was cut short but what you did film was wonderful. Mrs Crocombe chat was great. A great fan from Canada. It is hard when you look forward to something and wait such a long time, but it was not meant to be. We have enjoyed your house renovations and you have done so well to keep us entertained during Covid. Thanks and keep on planning.
Trust yourselves. Gosh thank you for your efforts to meet those charming ladies. The flower colors near the house are so beautiful together. Glad things were made right for the trip.
I am so sorry that you had to cut short your weekend, Kirsten and Joerg. I really felt so badly that you were sad. I am glad that you made the decision to leave, as it does sound like there was definitely a danger for your health. And, I am glad you were recompensed and received apologies from English Heritage, which made you feel better. And, it was so nice that you got to see the estate grounds, kitchen, gardens, as well as, felt part of a favourite character’s drama, in person! Very exciting. All the best, from Lindsay in Canada 🇨🇦
Oh yes I have watched the whole video now and I understand !! Kirsten, you are my favorite english teacher. I love your voice and your accent. I try to foster my english thanks to your so interesting videos 😍😍 sandrine, France
Dear Kirsten and Jöerg, What a beautiful place to visit. Such gorgeous structures, and meeting Mrs. Croghum was amazing! I felt devastated for you having to cut short your weekend. I would have been too anxious to sleep in the building with the smell of petrol. And it does cause bad headaches. I'm so sorry that happened to you. But thank goodness English Heritage did the right thing and refunded the weekend. I hope your next trip is a happy and safe one--and nobody gets lost! Sending much love to you both, and thank you for all your dedication and work💗.
Thanks so much Karin! Yes, it was such a dreadful experience that's why we had to leave but it was lovely to see Audley End and meet Mrs Crocombe, very unexpected. Have a wonderful weekend.
Better to be safe than sorry, I'm sorry your weekend was cut short. But still a lovely video of the house and gardens. I'm glad you got your money back. See you soon 💕💕
it's so sad when a trip is ruined, I've been there myself too. Hopefully the next one will make up for it. Mrs Crocombe is fabulous as was the other lady too, they must have a lot of fun.
You two have a so beautiful relationship,I love watching your videos.You must be soulmates.So respectful and loving towards each other’s.Hard to find this kind of relationship nowadays.May God bless you both with good health and a long happy life together.Looking forward to your next video.❤️🌹
Oh dear I’m so sorry to see it didn’t turn out as expected for you both. You would have loved Saffron Walden, it’s my local town but hope you will get the chance to visit properly some day. Big hugs to you both 🥰🥰
Dear Joerg & Kirsten. Kirsten my heart broke when I saw you so upset. You were so excited about your 1st little getaway after months of lockdown😔. I have always admired the honesty that you both display and this just confirms that fact by showing your vulnerable side. How delightful that you saw Mrs Crocombe in the flesh that was a bit of magic in an otherwise awful experience plus that the gardens are absolutely awesome. Do hope that you both have a special weekend whatever you find to do. Blessings to you both🤗
That's so so kind Lynette, thanks so much!! It was the strangest day, running into Mrs Crocombe was certainly so unexpected and the best distraction. The grounds were stunning. We hope you're keeping well.
Oh Kristen & Joerg so sorry your weekend came to a sudden end. Really upset me to see you cry, big hugs! You definitely did the right thing leaving early. Your health is your wealth & not worth taking any risks. It was great that you got a full refund. At least you got to see the beautiful house & grounds & amazing you got to meet Mrs Crocombe ❤️ I would have been star struck too 🤩 the kitchen was sooo amazing. Would love to experience baking there. Look forward to seeing your next adventure. Much love 💓 to you both. X
Thanks so much Lesley! We so agree, there's nothing more important than one's health. It was a day of real highs and lows so meeting Mrs Crocombe was so unexpected and certainly a high. Hope you're keeping well.
I am well thank you Kirsten. My husband is on holiday this week. We are going on lots of lovely day trips with picnics to Culzean Castle, Dumfries House & the stunning Loch Lomond. Lovely places in Scotland 💙
Well, I'm a new subscriber to your Channel. And I've been enjoying watching your past Video Collection. I'm very sorry about the fact that your stay was ruined. But with everything that's going on in the world. My philosophy is when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. You did the best that you could, and it was an experience that you'll always remember. You got to meet Mrs. C, and that's a wonderful thing. Keep the videos coming. You guys seem to be a very nice couple. Always remember that the best RUclipsrs and channels. Are the ones where life is real. And things just happened. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Because that makes you more like real people. And that's something we can all relate to. Take care and God bless.
It is certainly OK for you to share the ups AND downs of travel. As you said, "It's part of life." Glad you got to meet Mrs. Crocombe and have a fan moment and didn't have any lasting effects from the petrol smell in the cottage. :)
Sorry for your experience, glad you are both okay - look on the positive side, you had a wonderful experience at Belvoir Castle and Audley End with Mrs Crocombe etc. I don't suppose the adverse publicity this video will bring to English Heritage will help them, but they have a legal Duty of Care to ensure that property the public uses, in any capacity, is safe and fit for purpose. I originally thought it might have been a carbon monoxide issue you had, but maybe not. I hope they paid some contribution towards your travel costs, fuel for a trip of that length would not have come cheap. Put it behind you and I hope you find another beautiful stay to share with us very soon. Take care. x
Thanks so much! Yes, we loved Belvoir Castle and Audley End so much so that was lovely. We actually wanted to support a non-profit organisation due to pandemic because we know how much they struggle and never expected it would come to this. No, no carbon monoxide issue because you can't smell that (the moment you could, you would be dead). It came from downstairs where the lodge had the heating and there was something wrong.
Awww KISTERN DONT GET UPSET... YOU HAVE ME CRYING..😓😥😢.. ITS FOR THE BEST YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING 👍🤗what ever is wrong with the house. 🏡????do you think there may have been a gas leak.....???go back to the cabbages @roses loft much more you or the fairy tale cottage 💋👍❤️
I'm such a Mrs.Crocombe fan already, and the garden was so lovely! Thanks for sharing what you could, I look forward to seeing what you get up to next.
So sorry that your week end didn't work out as planned. You show us the beautiful grounds and house. I hope your health wasn't damaged by the stay. Keep smiling. We love to see you both happy. Sending hugs that way
Please know when I said to keep smiling, I did not mean for you to hide your feelings, I just always want you both to be happy. You just brighten up our days
I find that since Covid 19 brought the world to a stand still, the standard of most businesses and services has dwindled. Your experience is another sign of this, I'm afraid.
Yes, that's what we think too. However, it seems that there has been a problem with the lodge/cottage and they should have sorted it long ago. Such a shame.
So sorry that your week end was cut short. But the video was wonderful. Thank you for all you do for us to enjoy the beautiful gardens and homes there. Have a wonderful rest of the week end. Take care!
It is so nice to watch you again. Never enough. You are a great couple and the world you are showing it is so interesting. You guys have each other, supporting person next to you, who loves you and misses you. I am happy for you and with everything you decide to share with us 🌷😊
Glad yo hear you are both OK! Sorry your vacation had to end early. Life always has its twists and turns. I know your next adventure will bring you joy to surpass this disappointment! Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Oh don't cry! Your health is everything. Your video is lovely, as usual. Oh those gardens, my favorite. I'm glad you got home, it will all be fine. You both take care. 💝
I’m so glad you were able to film the beautiful gardens and conversations and kitchen accompanied by wonderful music 🎶 in spite of the very disappointing experience and having to leave. You definitely did the right thing for your protection and health! I’m glad they apologized and refunded your expenses and know there will be more videos to come! I’m sure home felt very good when you arrived! You’re both such special people, sending you all the best!! 🌸🌺🌼
I respect you guys very much. Kirsten it shows us that how much hard work, time energy you put into it in order to bring us those contents. You are so real and genuine people 🌹.
Kirstin, I was crying with you as I could feel your distress! Please don't hide your heart it's what makes you and Joerg so wonderful...your caring Souls ~ Adventures are all about the Unexpected and yours was certainly that~ so glad you were reimbursed...Safety First! Hugs!

You done the right thing health is your wealth, love and hugs sent to you.
Thanks so much Pamela! Exactly, nothing is more important than your health.
Always go with your instinct. You did the right thing. You filmed real life which has its ups and downs.
The way the two of you balance each other is lovely. So sorry for your inconvenience ,but so glad you left. Joerg, you are so wise to have left. God Bless!
Oh Kirsten and Joerg. So sorry to hear your stay has been cut short. Made me sad to see you cry . Take Care x
You are so kind, it means a lot. Thank you Sophie!
Some carpets and textiles if new are made with petroleum products. Might have been the culprit!
Oh Kirsten en Jörg,tut mir so leid für Euch. Ihr habt Euch so gefreut. Trotzdem Danke fürs Video👍.Thats life too. Wünsche Euch das nächstens mal das alles in Ordnung ist.
Wir sind ja schon verwöhnt mit 2 Videos von Euch diese Woche. Lg😘
@@peekaboohidenseeken5722 No, it came from downstairs (cellar) where they have the heating, it didn't come from carpets.
I love that you shared this video - showing how sometimes unexpected things happen, and it can be such a sad thing. This is so true for anyone who travels, or in just day-to-day life. But you still have high hopes and will carry on! Strong spirits persevere!
Thank-you for your honesty and transparency. The world needs that.
Thank you so so much!
So sorry your weekend was cut short, you did the right thing. Felt so bad when you cried big hug. Glad you got to meet Mrs. Crocombe it was so cute how you said you were nervous that you had a hard time filming. You are a great couple and we enjoy everything you show us. ❤️😊
Thanks so much Debbie! It was such a strange day with a low and then all of a sudden there's Mrs Crocombe.
I’m so sorry for your horrid experience especially you Kirsten seemed terribly upset by the whole experience.You definitely did the best thing by leaving. You both looked so much happier and relaxed when you were home.

I'm so sorry that your weekend trip was ruined. But, your health is a priority! It's great that the company reimbursed you !
Thanks so much! Yes, health is the most important.
Kirsten I am so sad you got so sad.
Your health and safety comes first and you both did the right thing.
That's life.
Look forward to the next trip!!!

Thanks so much Maria! Yes, nothing more important than one's health.

Thank you so so much, that honestly means so much.
The filming if the gardens was masterfully done. So gorgeous. Glad to see it takes someone else a little time to recover from a disappointment. ❤
Thank you so much Lynn!
I’m so sorry! The video was still interesting and soothing as usual! Of course I love your travel vlogs, but you could film something like “here are some magazines on my coffee table” or “here is my slipper collection” and I would still watch and enjoy! 😂❤️
That is honestly such a sweet comment, thank you so much Katharine.

It's like you have said before in another video Kirsten, life is not always perfect. I appreciate you and Joerg sharing both!!!
Absolutely, it comes with its ups and downs. Thanks so much Jane.

Kirsten, I also loved that gorgeous blouse you wore at the end of the video. I suspect it makes you happy when you wear it.
Thank you both so very much for your videos. It gives me the opportunity to take a virtual vacation during a very stressful time here in the USA. Judy from Arizona
Thank you so much Judy, that's so kind! It's a new vintage dress I wore at the end, I wore it for the first time, it's quite lovely.
Oh my goodness, the home was so beautiful and the grounds. I am just amazed at the history. I totally enjoy being around historical buildings. If only the walls could talk. I am glad they refunded your money. That is a lot for a weekend. There are times when it is necessary to let establishments know what you find to be unacceptable. My poor husband always left these things up to me. He always knew when I was not pleased with a purchase or experience and he would look at me and I would say "hun bun you might want to wait outside while I chat with....." They need to know when things are not as they should be. I totally get your disappointment. I would have been crying too. I am very sensitive although some think I am not. So sorry you had to leave early but I was glad to see the house and Mrs. Crocombe, how cool was that!
Glad you made it home safely and looking forward to your next video.
Wanda
Thank you so so much Wanda! Yes, we definitely want to visit again when the house itself opens, that must be amazing. Yes, it was something we just couldn't accept, when it comes to health there's just no compromising. Mrs Crocombe was so unexpected, she is such a character.
Just got into this video.
It is good to cry , sweet lady Kirsten. It helps to relieved your sadness. But just cry for awhile.
So sorry for your sad weekend.
Please take care, you both
Safety first always! You only get one life to live, wise to protect it always. You met Mrs. C! No weekend is ruined when you are together. Hugs to you both, cheers
Thank you so much!
Oh, don't feel like your weekend was ruined.. You've shown me what I really wanted to see so thank you.
Thank you.
Yay! Another vlog! I think you where fan girling a little Kirsten.
I was, she is so great and always in her role!
I like your videos because you both are honest and authentic about your experiences! I am glad that at the very least you had the highlight of meeting Mrs. Crocombe,
Thanks so much Amanda, that's so kind.
Oh dear im so sorry your weekend was spoiled but you cannot take any chances where your health is concerned. Kirsten i would have been upset too but hopefully your next trip wherever you go will be wonderful for you both. But thank you for showing us around. The kitchen wae great all those lovley copper pans and jelly moulds.
Thanks so much Kathleen! Yes, there's nothing more important than one's health. I so agree, I loved the kitchen so much.
❤️🤗 Big hugs, beautiful people!
Thanks so much, hugs right back at you.
So happy to see another video from you this morning and as usual, so beautifully filmed. So very disappointing that you weren’t offered alternative accommodation so you could see out your weekend. You have waited so long to get away. Meeting Mrs Crocombe would have been amazing! You said you were a little star struck which is how I’d feel if I met yourself and Joerg in my travels. You are my favourite on RUclips and I would watch any video you made no matter the content. Thank you for sharing your experience with us xx
Thanks so much Lyddie! Yes, we would have loved to stay somewhere else, however English Heritage only has about 10-12 houses in the UK so I think it wasn't possible. Mrs Crocombe is such a character!
So sorry you had to go through that kirsten and joerg.Thank you for the lovely tour of the rest of the house and grounds .I appreciate you both.
Thank you so much!
I am so sorry your weekend was ruined....BUT so happy you got to meet Mrs. Crocombe....! Thank you again....!
Thank you so so much!
It breaks my heart to see you so upset. Sending you cyber hugs! At least you got to meet her. Exciting.
That's so so sweet of you Suzette, thank YOU!! Wishing you a lovely weekend.
A person's health is a number one priority 💗 Hugs to both...still very much enjoyed the video!
We couldn't agree more! Thanks so much Adrienne.
So sorry you had an unpleasant experience after much anticipation, but if I may say, you looked very pretty! Delightful outfits and the colors really suit you. Love Joerg’s calm demeanor - he’s your rock! Stay well.
Thanks so much!
Oh...so sorry to hear that, but happy because you're safe at home now. You were protected and done the right thing. I send a big hug to you from Argentina :)
That's so kind, thank you!
I’m so sad for you, how heartbreaking. Many hugs to you and hope you get passed this huge letdown. Seeing Mrs. Crocombe would cure just about anything. So much love!❤️
Thanks so much dear Tonya, we so appreciate that. Never in a million years did we expect to meet Mrs Crocombe, this day had all kinds of emotions. Sending love your way as well.
Oh I’m so sad for your weekend 😞 I am glad you are going to get a refund! I support you in all you do. I know you are not ones to complain but bad gas/oil smells and headaches are too much to bare! I love the video because it shows the real life. Love to you both from Maine ♥️♥️
Thank you so much Carolyn. Yes, we could smell it as soon as we entered the house and wanted to leave straight away but were on the road all day filming, it was just awful.
Hi Kirsten& Joerg. Thankyou for sharing your experience at Audrey edge. Even though it didn’t go to plan . Never mind these things happen . I’m so glad they are refunding you though. Cheer up. I’m sure you will have many more lovley adventures. Very nice that you got to see mrs crockham and the kitchen. Take care and lots of love to you both . M. XX
Thank you so much Marilyn-Ann, that's so kind. Hope you're keeping well.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity in sharing apart of your life with us. I love your gentle spirit. I am so inspired to see a glimpse of were my family is from.
Thank you so much Debbie!
So true: not every travel experience is a fine one. This reminds me of the time my hubs and I rented a car for an autumn trip to Vermont--and the car was a lemon and kept breaking down. We hardly saw a thing, and to make matters worse, the leaves were already off the trees thanks to a freak storm. But you know what? The memories seem amusing in retrospect, another "adventure" shared by the two of us!
That's so true Cathy! Oh no, that doesn't sound like fun. Vermont always looks so so amazing with all the golden leaves in autumn.
Good to see you both.Life is just difficult at the moment.Home is best for now.🌻
Thank you so much!
No worries. Be strong as you and your knight Joerg have many more adventures. Thank you for being so open.
Thanks so much!
sorry your trip was cut short but what you did film was wonderful. Mrs Crocombe chat was great. A great fan from Canada. It is hard when you look forward to something and wait such a long time, but it was not meant to be. We have enjoyed your house renovations and you have done so well to keep us entertained during Covid. Thanks and keep on planning.
Thank you so much Ruth!
You two are a delight to watch!
Thanks so much!
I'm so sorry that had such a terrible experience but very happy to hear that you are safe and well.
That's so kind Nadine, thanks so much! Wishing you a lovely weekend.
Trust yourselves. Gosh thank you for your efforts to meet those charming ladies. The flower colors near the house are so beautiful together. Glad things were made right for the trip.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing the good & the bad. That's too bad but, plenty more travels in store! Have a great weekend....
Thank you so much! Wishing you a great weekend as well.
I am so sorry that you had to cut short your weekend, Kirsten and Joerg. I really felt so badly that you were sad. I am glad that you made the decision to leave, as it does sound like there was definitely a danger for your health. And, I am glad you were recompensed and received apologies from English Heritage, which made you feel better. And, it was so nice that you got to see the estate grounds, kitchen, gardens, as well as, felt part of a favourite character’s drama, in person! Very exciting. All the best, from Lindsay in Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you so much Lindsay, that's so kind. Oh yes, it was such a great distraction to run into Mrs Crocombe and explore these beautiful grounds.
Oh yes I have watched the whole video now and I understand !! Kirsten, you are my favorite english teacher. I love your voice and your accent. I try to foster my english thanks to your so interesting videos 😍😍 sandrine, France
That's so kind Sandrine, thank YOU!
Dear Kirsten and Jöerg, What a beautiful place to visit. Such gorgeous structures, and meeting Mrs. Croghum was amazing! I felt devastated for you having to cut short your weekend. I would have been too anxious to sleep in the building with the smell of petrol. And it does cause bad headaches. I'm so sorry that happened to you. But thank goodness English Heritage did the right thing and refunded the weekend. I hope your next trip is a happy and safe one--and nobody gets lost! Sending much love to you both, and thank you for all your dedication and work💗.
Thanks so much Karin! Yes, it was such a dreadful experience that's why we had to leave but it was lovely to see Audley End and meet Mrs Crocombe, very unexpected. Have a wonderful weekend.
@@KirstenJoerg
💗💗💗
Better to be safe than sorry, I'm sorry your weekend was cut short. But still a lovely video of the house and gardens. I'm glad you got your money back. See you soon 💕💕
Thanks so much Sharon! Audley End House & Gardens is definitely worth visiting, it's beautiful.
Happy to hear u guys r OK, don't cry, life is so precious... Good decision... 😊
Thanks so much!
it's so sad when a trip is ruined, I've been there myself too. Hopefully the next one will make up for it. Mrs Crocombe is fabulous as was the other lady too, they must have a lot of fun.
Thanks so much Dolly! Oh yes, it was so lovely to meet these two ladies.
You two have a so beautiful relationship,I love watching your videos.You must be soulmates.So respectful and loving towards each other’s.Hard to find this kind of relationship nowadays.May God bless you both with good health and a long happy life together.Looking forward to your next video.❤️🌹
Thank you so much Beate!
Looking forward to all your lovely future trips. Chin up, lots of good times to come. 🤗
Thanks so much!
Oh dear I’m so sorry to see it didn’t turn out as expected for you both. You would have loved Saffron Walden, it’s my local town but hope you will get the chance to visit properly some day. Big hugs to you both 🥰🥰
Thanks so much Sarah! We will definitely go back and visit Saffron Waldon, it looked lovely even in the pouring rain. Have a lovely weekend.
Dear Joerg & Kirsten. Kirsten my heart broke when I saw you so upset. You were so excited about your 1st little getaway after months of lockdown😔. I have always admired the honesty that you both display and this just confirms that fact by showing your vulnerable side. How delightful that you saw Mrs Crocombe in the flesh that was a bit of magic in an otherwise awful experience plus that the gardens are absolutely awesome. Do hope that you both have a special weekend whatever you find to do. Blessings to you both🤗
That's so so kind Lynette, thanks so much!! It was the strangest day, running into Mrs Crocombe was certainly so unexpected and the best distraction. The grounds were stunning. We hope you're keeping well.
Oh Kristen & Joerg so sorry your weekend came to a sudden end. Really upset me to see you cry, big hugs! You definitely did the right thing leaving early. Your health is your wealth & not worth taking any risks. It was great that you got a full refund. At least you got to see the beautiful house & grounds & amazing you got to meet Mrs Crocombe ❤️ I would have been star struck too 🤩 the kitchen was sooo amazing. Would love to experience baking there. Look forward to seeing your next adventure. Much love 💓 to you both. X
Thanks so much Lesley! We so agree, there's nothing more important than one's health. It was a day of real highs and lows so meeting Mrs Crocombe was so unexpected and certainly a high. Hope you're keeping well.
I am well thank you Kirsten. My husband is on holiday this week. We are going on lots of lovely day trips with picnics to Culzean Castle, Dumfries House & the stunning Loch Lomond. Lovely places in Scotland 💙
Im happy everything worked out!!!! Thank you for sharing all aspects of your journeys.
Well, I'm a new subscriber to your Channel. And I've been enjoying watching your past Video Collection. I'm very sorry about the fact that your stay was ruined. But with everything that's going on in the world. My philosophy is when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. You did the best that you could, and it was an experience that you'll always remember. You got to meet Mrs. C, and that's a wonderful thing. Keep the videos coming. You guys seem to be a very nice couple. Always remember that the best RUclipsrs and channels. Are the ones where life is real. And things just happened. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Because that makes you more like real people. And that's something we can all relate to. Take care and God bless.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!
Big Hug 🤗 Kirsten
Thanks so much Mary Ann!
So glad you were able to straighten things out. Looking forward to your future travels. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
It is certainly OK for you to share the ups AND downs of travel. As you said, "It's part of life." Glad you got to meet Mrs. Crocombe and have a fan moment and didn't have any lasting effects from the petrol smell in the cottage. :)
Thank you so much Malinda! Yes, it was simply the best to leave and not stay in an environment like that.
Sorry for your experience, glad you are both okay - look on the positive side, you had a wonderful experience at Belvoir Castle and Audley End with Mrs Crocombe etc. I don't suppose the adverse publicity this video will bring to English Heritage will help them, but they have a legal Duty of Care to ensure that property the public uses, in any capacity, is safe and fit for purpose. I originally thought it might have been a carbon monoxide issue you had, but maybe not. I hope they paid some contribution towards your travel costs, fuel for a trip of that length would not have come cheap. Put it behind you and I hope you find another beautiful stay to share with us very soon. Take care. x
Thanks so much! Yes, we loved Belvoir Castle and Audley End so much so that was lovely. We actually wanted to support a non-profit organisation due to pandemic because we know how much they struggle and never expected it would come to this. No, no carbon monoxide issue because you can't smell that (the moment you could, you would be dead). It came from downstairs where the lodge had the heating and there was something wrong.
Awww KISTERN DONT GET UPSET... YOU HAVE ME CRYING..😓😥😢.. ITS FOR THE BEST YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING 👍🤗what ever is wrong with the house. 🏡????do you think there may have been a gas leak.....???go back to the cabbages @roses loft much more you or the fairy tale cottage 💋👍❤️
Thanks so much Henrietta! Nothing more important than one's health.
I'm such a Mrs.Crocombe fan already, and the garden was so lovely! Thanks for sharing what you could, I look forward to seeing what you get up to next.
Thanks so much Tanya! Yes, it was so great to meet Mrs Crocombe.
So sorry that your week end didn't work out as planned. You show us the beautiful grounds and house. I hope your health wasn't damaged by the stay. Keep smiling. We love to see you both happy. Sending hugs that way
Thank you so so much Sheryl.
Please know when I said to keep smiling, I did not mean for you to hide your feelings, I just always want you both to be happy. You just brighten up our days
@@sheryld1957 Oh yes, we know how you meant it and that's so kind!!
@@KirstenJoergThank you I worried about how it sounded.
Also where did you get the checked dress or top at the end of the video..i love it! Xx
Thanks so much Kathryn! Aww I just bought the dress from Etsy but it's vintage I'm afraid.
This looks like a kitchen that was used in a Ms. Marple epsiode.
So thankful they made it right. Proud of you both for responding in such a polite way, but firmly stood for your safety and well being.
So sorry your weekend didn't turn out the way you planned. Glad you got satisfactory closure to the experience. It was fun meeting Mrs. Crocombe.
Ah, sorry it didn’t work out. Pleased to hear you were fully refunded so that the next trip can be planned! X
Thanks so much!
I find that since Covid 19 brought the world to a stand still, the standard of most businesses and services has dwindled. Your experience is another sign of this, I'm afraid.
Yes, that's what we think too. However, it seems that there has been a problem with the lodge/cottage and they should have sorted it long ago. Such a shame.
Glad you are both ok. Thanks for posting realness. Your love for one another is beautiful. Sorry your weekend ended early. 💕. Take care...
Thank you so so much! Hope you're keeping well.
Oh Kirsten jeorg better at home not meant to be still you gave a wonderful experience and magical memories
Thank you!
So sorry that your week end was cut short. But the video was wonderful. Thank you for all you do for us to enjoy the beautiful gardens and homes there. Have a wonderful rest of the week end. Take care!
Thank you so much, take care too.
It is so nice to watch you again. Never enough. You are a great couple and the world you are showing it is so interesting. You guys have each other, supporting person next to you, who loves you and misses you. I am happy for you and with everything you decide to share with us 🌷😊

Thanks so much!
So glad that you are home and doing better. Love you both.
Thank you so much Susen!
I’m so glad you were able to film the beautiful gardens and conversations and kitchen accompanied by wonderful music 🎶 in spite of the very disappointing experience and having to leave. You definitely did the right thing for your protection and health! I’m glad they apologized and refunded your expenses and know there will be more videos to come! I’m sure home felt very good when you arrived! You’re both such special people, sending you all the best!! 🌸🌺🌼
Thank you so much Marcia! Yes, it was the best decision, we were quite drained when we arrived home but it was all okay in the end.
You sweetie, you made me cry...when such a lovely person burst into tears I just couldn´t help it. Take care xxx
