- I TRAVELLED TO GERMANY// Hello lovely people, Hope you're all doing well! After Germany lifted the travel restrictions for the UK, I boarded a plane to see my family in Germany so we could be together for a little while since we couldn't go at Christmas. In today's video, I share the tiny village in Germany where I grew up and just share some private bits. Hope you will enjoy it. Kirsten x

Oh I’m so happy for you. My parents passed away many years ago, you are blessed. What a very sweet video, thank you. I love your stories about your childhood and seeing beautiful places that mean so much to you. The nutcracker is just gorgeous. 💜💜💜
Thank you so much Tonya! Yes, so enjoy spending time with them.
The countryside is lovely and the city was beautiful . Everything is so clean, I just love that.
Thank you Kirsten for filming on your trip to Germany. It was lovely to see where you grew up and to see the lovely little chapel and the delicious cake. I am so pleased that you were able to see your parents after the disappointment of not seeing them at Christmas. I bet you can’t wait to see Joerg again. Take care and safe journey home. Jane x
Thanks so much Jane! It was so lovely, we just celebrated Christmas in January.
I'm half German & half Irish. & I love watching the places you visit god bless have a great day🤗🤗
So blessed to have both your parents. The little chapel was precious! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for showing us your hometown. I love the older houses...so much character. And, of course, the lovely chapel. So glad you were able to spend time with your family. There's nothing like be able to be together especially these days. The cakes looked so yummy. Looking forward to your next update.
Thanks so much!
Hello Kirsten from New Hampshire USA! New to your channel. I grew up in a German neighborhood in New Hampshire. I am Dutch decent, but everyone spoke High German when I was a child. This was post WWII and my neighbors were my grandparent's age. Now I have a wonderful friend Ulrike who loves close to our farm. She is helping me relearn German. I appreciate your trip to the bakery. I can enjoy the pastries and practice my German!
As I lived three years in Northern England, it is easy to follow you in German and British English. Thank you for all the hard work you do on your channel. I am also following your home restoration. Lovely! Our farm cottage is vintage 1935 rural Americana. All the household antiques have been restored and are in daily use. Thank you again for this wonderful tour ! ~ Diane
So enjoyed watching this ……such beautiful towns, countryside and as you say the only thing making it perfect would have been having Joerg with you! Safe travels back to England 🙏
Thanks so much Frances!
Thank you Kirsten. What a lovely vlog - so much beauty and serenity, and everything, whether urban or rural, is elegantly manicured. The weather seems crisp and pleasant (no snow). I love hearing you speak German. Enjoy your mini-vacation with your parents, and all the goodies. The nutcracker is fabulous, albeit a bit messy - LOL!
Thanks so much! Hahahah yes, a bit messy, you would usually use it for walnuts but we didn't have any.
I think people wonder if you and Joerg speak English at home because you both speak the language very well. So, they are probably wondering how much you practice to be so fluent. 💜
I was thinking the same thing your English is so good.
Your English is phenomenal
I hope you SEE how lovely you coordinated all the colors you are wearing today. Your natural, softer look is very nice, softer shade of lip stick, with your glasses, and blouse, sweater. Great color palette for you. I enjoy your videos.
Hallo Kirsten! Wir wünschen dir eine schöne Zeit mit deiner Familie 😍. Es ist dort wirklich ein schönes Fleckchen Erde. Genieße die Zeit und freue dich bei deiner Rückkehr auf Jörg😁. Es ist schön zu hören, dass ihr auch schon so lange zusammen seit👍🏻. Wir sind auch schon fast 40 Jahre zusammen . Kirsten, da haben wir richtig Glück gehabt mit unseren Jörgs 😉😁! Eine gute Zeit in Deutschland wünschen Regina und Jörg aus Köln
Vielen Dank ihr Lieben! Ja, genieße die Zeit immer sehr, morgen geht es zurück. Freue mich natürlich sehr auf Jörg. Da hast du recht, wir haben großes Glück. Ganz liebe Grüße

Suck a beautiful video! Germany is beautiful ❤️, it's on my bucket list! It looks so peaceful and lovely!
Thank you for sharing Kirsten!
Loved seeing the German countryside and the tasty treats!
Would be fun to see the home you grew up in.
Thank you for sharing with us your part of the world and getting to see family! Loved every minute of it!
This episode is my favorite so far but missed seeing Joerg.
KRISTEN,, every time you show me GERMANY,, i look at my granfather, and my great granfather, an mother knowing they moved from GERMAY,, i wish years ago i went to visit but you showing me this beauifufl country helps me to understand how they lived,, THANK YOU and the food
How wonderful you went to visit your parents.It is so nice to see the German countryside & towns…of course,the bakeries with the breads & cakes are
This video involved almost all my senses. I enjoyed listening to your childhood memories, Kirsten. And my mouth is still watering by just watching these beautiful cakes you brought to your parents home. And their Villeroy & Boch china is simply divine. Oh, and the sound that nutcracker makes.. puts me back in a Christmas mood. 😀
Thanks so much!
Loved it! Absolutely enjoy seeing Germany and learning more about traditions and such. Glad you were able to spend some time with family!!
Thanks so much!
How lovely to share that special little chapel, I really appreciate it 🥰 I enjoyed this little trip to Germany with you, thank you so very much.
Thank you so much!
I love Tuesdays when there’s a new video from you!
Thanks so much Jeanne!
@JEANNE,
I agree, I also love the videos from Kirsten and Jöerg❣️ Just wish they were more frequent...HaHa....hint-hint, teasing you Kirsten. XOX
Thank you for taking us into the Chapel. In the US we would refer to the chapel “ as an Adoration Chapel”. Just lovely. ❤️
This was so lovely Kirsten, I love Germany. My grandma is from Germany. It's a place so close to my heart. Thank you for sharing this with us :)
Thanks so much Carly!
I love your videos. I'm adding all of them to me comfort videos playlist.
Cheers and good health to the two of you and to all the subs.
Thanks so much!
Comfort videos, I love it!🙏🏻😊❤️
So pleased that you were able to go and see your family x
Thank you so much Sarah!
I love to see your videos from Germany so that was a real treat for me. The small chapel was beautiful and I loved the glass windows. The cakes and chocolates in the local shop looked delicious and your mother’s tea set was perfect for your tea time treat. As always thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Sylvia! Even though the local bakery in Eppelborn is somewhat old fashioned looking, it's absolutely great, everything is such good quality.
Kirsten, I can appreciate your love of your homeland ,
especially also your special love of the beautiful little
Chapel , yes the tree with all the ♥️ hearts , I loved that
how precious to be able-to visit your parents ,
An I love the story of your pole walking with your Father.
The cake shop is fabulous , I am so sad we cannot travel
Because of the pandemic, I am a senior and yearn to travel
Nice to see you enjoy the variety of cake slices an mom’s rose 🌹 delf
I can tell your heart is with Joerg and missing him of course.
Oh how I love the Nutcracker , so fun 🤩
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for the lovely walk. So glad you were able to visit your family!
Thank you so much Christine!
Lovely share Kirsten 🤗…. So happy for you to have been able to spend time with your parents..♥️
Absolutely loved the pastry 🥮 shops.. yummmmmm
Such beautiful country side walking…
Enjoy your time…
Blessings ~
Thanks so much Sharon!
Thank you for sharing this Special video in your hometown. I'm so Happy you get to be with your Parents. Those are memories that will always be in your heart ❤️. I miss mine so much but I know they are with Jesus in Heaven. That is a Beautiful little Chapel and Our Lady makes me Smile when I see her. Such Peace Radiates from her. I love the village and the houses are lovely.
Sure wish we had Bakeries here like there. Dessert looked Wonderful. Thanks for taking us on your journey to Germany. I really love these videos 📹. Have a Blessed Evening. 🦋 🌻🦋
I love these glimpses of small town Germany!
What a delightful visit with you to your hometown! This is one of my favorites! The peaceful countryside, the delicious cakes , your Mom’s sweet voice and her beautiful china with roses ….Thank you for sharing this with us❤️
Thank you for taking us along with you Kirsten. It’s lovely to see different parts of the world. My dad was stationed in Germany when he joined the army and he absolutely loved the people and the country itself.
Also appreciate that you make your videos in English for us as viewer’s.
Great video Kirsten❣️I am from the Netherlands, grew up in Australia, lived in Aachen for a while and now for many years live in the United States of America ! I enjoy everything English and have only been to the London area! Your videos are really fun to watch, Thank you both❣️💕
This is wonderful to hear, thanks so much for sharing that.
Was für ein schöner Gruß aus dem Saarland !
Immer wieder merkwürdig das eigene Land durch die "Linse" eines anderen zu sehen 🤭.
Vielen Dank!
Germany is equally beautiful as the UK. So enjoyably for you to see and stay with your family. Its really a shame that Jurg couldn't come with you. Lovely china your mom has. 💟🌷🇾🇪
I think it is lovely you visited your parents. And you gave quite the tour, especially at the bakery.
But I could tell you really missed your husband.
Thanks so much! Sadly I lost my beloved mother only 5 months ago. It’s so so hard as we were extremely close.
The darling “heart tree” is wonderful! The walk was just delightful, Kirsten. The chapel was so charming, and the setting was stunning. So glad for your family visit, and taking us from town to country! All good thoughts from Essex, Connecticut.❤️
Hello, I have to say, I love walking in old churches. So old, rustic and beautiful!
Un privilegio vivir junto a la naturaleza. Saludos Kirsten 💙💜💛💚❤️
Such a quaint little chapel ✝️🙏🏻
What beautiful countryside! I can imagine that you miss Joerg! Also, I am very jealous of your weather! It is currently -35 C where I live and we just got 4 ft of snow in one day! but spring will inevitably come again! In the mean time, enjoy Germany!
Thank You Kirsten 😊 you've taken me places I will never see in person
Thank you so much for watching Yvonne!
Loved your walk, congrats on 33 years. My husband and I are celebrating 38 years in May! Celebrating by going on Viking cruise on the Elba River to Prague. Staying in Berlin 3 days prior..any ideas on what to visit? Danke! Love to you both!
Thanks so much Vickie! It will be 34 years, as mentioned in the video I skipped one year lol. Berlin is absolutely amazing, so so much to see.
We have taken that Viking cruise…you will love it❤️🇨🇦❤️
Congratulations 🎉. Enjoy your trip. I would love to experience a Viking cruise.
Have a great time Vickie! Will add Viking Cruise to my bucket list in next visit 🙂
Hello. I agree with Tonya, below. Your video was sweet and heartwarming. Missed seeing the two of you together, but that will come soon. Thank you for sharing your part of the world. Good health to all.
Aloha Kirsten & Family! Thank you! The houses are beautiful! That big house with that enormous wall was so amazing! Hope you had a nice visit! 🥰
Kirsten, we so enjoyed seeing Germany! Indeed a blessing for you to see your parents. The shopping village was lovely. Germany is such a beautiful country! Every place is so clean! Although we missed Joerg being at your side, this was an enjoyable video. AND THOSE DESSERTS! Yummy! Thanks, and brightest blessing!
What a lovely trip home to enjoy time with your parents. And such a quaint little chapel nestled in gorgeous countryside. Germany is beautiful. My brother in law just flew back out to Germany for his job from the U.K. he loves it there and tries to convince my sister to get the kids enrolled in the German schools!!
Bonjour Kirsten, le casse noisettes est magnifique, je suis heureuse pour toi et je souhaiterais avoir le même !! c'est une jolie vidéo de ta ville natale ... bon retour au Royaume Uni auprès de ton mari.
I have the same nutcracker bought a very long time ago when my children were young in a Montreal toy boutique that imported beautiful German Christmas decorations ... it now belongs to my daughter, also some very traditional St Nicholas window "stick-ons" bought back in the late 70's , early 80's (took very good care of them :)))
Good for you Kiersten🙏. To get the opportunity to spend time with your parents (just you) is awesome….thanks for sharing the beautiful peaceful sights at your parents town. I throughly enjoyed the video- oh! An all those delicious looking desserts 💃💃💃
We lived in Kottweiler Schwanden. I feel so lucky to have had the experience of living “on the economy” as they say.so enjoyed seeing everything. Brought back such pleasant memories.
I am so pleased for you Kirsten that you were able to finally visit your parents. I know how much they mean to you.
What a sweet video. The town with brick streets is so colorful and clean! You are a thoughtful daughter, flying home to spend time with your parents. Such a lovely, quiet village to walk, and to grow up in. Such a nice sweets shop in your town too. Thank you for taking us along Kirsten 🤗
Thanks so much for watching!
What a beautiful trip! Your Mother is adorable, it’s so nice to hear her again. She has such a lovely voice. You look so happy, I’m so glad you got to go visit. The little chapel was gorgeous! Ohh and all those cakes! This was a very fun video. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks so much Rita!
What a lovely village. Thank you for sharing. I love seeing the houses and architecture. And the bakeries of course. Oh my word, everything looked so good.
I saw some Egyptian treasures in your parents home. I spent a summer in Egypt when I was 16 yrs old and my family has a brass tray just like that. 💕
Yes, well spotted! My parents lived in Egypt for 10 years.
This brought back so many wonderful memories of when my family lived in Germany. The bakery windows were always filled with delicious-looking treats and it was so hard to chose! Please always take photographs of those as well as homes and the countryside. We lived in a small rural area similar to your parents'. Thanks for rekindling some very wonderful memories!!
С удовольствием смотрю ваши передачи.Они просто прекрасные:интересные и с юмором очень доброжелательные и креативные. Вы просто 🙂 супер
Thank you!!
Oh my goodness that was such a good video. Really like seeing the houses. And the chapel was beautiful. God bless you
Beautiful seeing you at home so many memories for you . I miss my home town so much in the north of England never get to go there , lived in Somerset for 37 years but Sunderland will always be my home
The bakery was such a treat. Could almost taste the cheesecakes. Thank you for showing where you grew up. Its lovely & hope to see more on your next visit. Maybe when flowers are blooming!
It’s a wonderful place!
Schön das es geklappt hat und du deine Lieben sehen konntest!! Es ist eben doch "ZU HAUSE" auch wenn ihr euch in GB so wohl fühlt .♥
Liebe Kirsten, thank you so much for sharing with us the lovely area in Germany where you grew up! I’m also German, but have been living in New England for many years. I still miss deutsches Brot and “Kaffee und Kuchen”. Unfortunately, we have not been able to travel home since the pandemic started, so for me, your stories about your life in the UK and your travels are uplifting and inspiring. Plus, I always enjoy the parts where you speak German (in this video with you mom or the brief snippets in videos with Jörg)! What an odd question that people think you and Jörg might speak English at home!
Kirsten, how lovely you still have both your parents - just lovely. thanks for sharing. I liked it when I heard you say 'Muti'
…And, perfect timing that you showed the red hearts in the tree, just as you shared how long you and Joerg have been together. ❤️ 😍
What a beautiful path area to walk in. You were going pretty fast too! Lol. Glad you got to visit your parents. They must have been thrilled to give that stunning gift to you in person. Take care.
Sono felice per te che sei andata dal tuoi genitori , grazie per aver mostrato i luoghi della tua gioventù , molto originale lo schiaccianoci ,un abbraccio dolcissima Kirsten a presto 😘♥️
Lovely to visit your parents moments to treasure my parents passed away over the past 4 years 😢. I do love your Nutcracker.
I am sorry to hear your parents passed away. I am 78 and both of mine have been gone 22 and 26 years. I miss them more than ever.. I enjoy Kirsten and Joerg, they make me feel good inside. such lovely people.
I just love seeing the wonderful snippets from Germany. So sweet hearing you and your mom talking together. What a grand nutcracker! Beautiful.
Dear Kirsten, you amaze me so does Georg, whenever I am in a low mood I look for your videos and it all goes away !!!!
Hi Kirsten, I love all of your videos they are so beautiful and inspiring. You and joerg have so a genuine and caring nature, please keep them coming.
A lovely, quiet and personal video - there is a real sense of peace in this film of your home town and your special places and family. The chapel is beautiful. I haven't seen the store C&A for years! We used to have those in England, I used to buy my clothes from there when I was a child and teenager. They have all gone from the UK now. Cheesecake...yum!
Thanksso much Kay!
Thank you Kirsten, it’s so peaceful and pleasant to visit your different areas with you. It’s lovely break for me. I really appreciate. And I see you’re so happy to be there. You’re like a little girl !
There is such beauty to be found all over the world, isn’t there? Thank-you for sharing your trip to your childhood home, and the towns nearby, Kirsten.
It's wonderful that you are able to visit Germany again! How nice to spend time with your family! It is so beautiful where you are from. Open spaces--as I like it. I've lived and worked in big cities and little towns. I prefer living n a smaller place. The kuchen looks so good--raspberry-- yummißh! And I love the Nutcracker! Have lots of fun and be well, safe and healthy 💗
Thank you for showing us around. I like your mom’s style - we will enjoy these now. ☺️
I'm delighted you were able to spend time with your parents. These memories you're making will be precious someday. Enjoy your time and may you all remain in good health.
Beautiful town and countryside! Glad you were able to see your family. You are very lucky to have them. Love to watch your videos. Thanks for making my day by showing the beautiful town you grew up in! Love and Hugs from New York City!
Kirsten, you are such a lovely person. I’m so glad that you were able to visit your parents. I can tell that you really missed not having Joerg with you. Thank you for showing us the beautiful chapel and your Christmas gift which is gorgeous.
Thanks so much Barbara!
Oh, it's amazing! My husband and I have been together since we were 17 too. We will celebrate 20 years)))). A long way together, what could be better?!
The Nutcracker Soldier is so charming , I should imagine children would be fascinated too and would love to feed him nuts . The tea table looked a treat and the cakes so tempting especially on a cold day ! Glad you are back in Germany for a bit you seemed quite homesick in the video I watched.
Glad that you got to go to Germany. Your parents live in such a beautiful and peaceful place. I'm glad you and Joerg speak in your native language when it's the two of you in England. Thanks for sharing your happiness, lovely memories, the beautiful chapel, the delicious cakes, and the nutcracker with us. It's great to see this on a gray icy day in the USA.
Really enjoy your vlogs, viewing from the opposite perspective as I have been living in Germany for over 30 years but return home to the UK ( London, Devon ) regularly.When you no longer live in your native country,you really appreciate so many things that are otherwise unremarkable or taken for granted,don`t you. Like you we love both countries!
That’s so true, you notice the tiny things.
Love these videos on family and home. I must say as your walking down the street I have never seen such a clean Trash Bin or streets.
I would love to see more of these types of videos.
I love your mum Kirsten she is just wonderful and Im glad you got to see your family afterall. Such a shame Joerg couldnt go with you. Really missed seeing him in the video. The nutcracker is such a beautiful present. Thanks for thinking of us and filming especially in public on your own cant have been easy!
Ohh!! My favourite almond cake...haha!!!ate it years ago.🎊
This just feels so wonderful 💐😌
Made my day!💝
Ahh yes! I love that nutcracker 🕊️☺️
Thank you for such a special video sharing your beautiful home town. I don’t what was more lovely- the countryside, the buildings, the cakes or the sweet relationship you have with your parents. I’m in awe of it all🇨🇦
The countryside is beautiful, thanks for taking us along! I can tell you missed Joerg, tell him we missed him too 😔 you must bring him back a little treat 😉
Thanks so much and yes, of course!
Kirsten, your town is so lovely! It makes me want to visit Germany and sample the baked treats! Thank you for taking us on your journey in life.
I would go broke in that bakery. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏😘😘💚
I'm so happy you got to go see your family! Thank you for the tour also. Be safe. Tell Joerg hello.
Thanks so much!
What a lovely video from Germany! I loved to listen to your voices speaking german. I could almost understand or at least get the “gist” of much of it. Your Mother’s voice is so sweet in my ears, you called her” Mutti”. I felt homesick nostalgia when you were having tea with your Mother. My Mother’s kin were Norwegian and my Great grandparents emigrated to Minnesota and North Dakota from Norway. When I was a child my Norwegian elders all spke norse at home to each other and also mixed in with english because the children only spoke english at school and because they wanted them to grow up as americans.There is a musical quality to the way you speak german the lilting rise and fall of the phrases, that sounds so familiar to my ears and brings back memories of my old folks.I always enjoy your visits to the bakeries in Germany and hear you name the cakes. The countryside where you grew up is beautiful and looks so carefully tended and serene and peaceful. And I, also missed seeing Jorge by your side, but i know your parents really enjoyed seeing you.You are a good daughter to them. I want to tell you something about the way you speak english. when I first found your channel, I thought you were American living in England. I was amazed when you and Jorge went to a street fair and drank german beer..you said “I am so German” and I thought what? German? You really do not have a german accent or an british accent . You speak english free of american regional accents, like they speak in the NW of the US. 🌲 Thank you for taking us along on your visit home.💕
We're happy for you that you got to visit your parents, and we enjoy seeing where you grew up. Everything in the bakery and Konditorei looked delicious! I know I will miss the bread here, but I'm frightened about the selection of sweet baked goods available in the U.K. 😄 I think maybe it's good that wheat is problematic for me! Anyways, I hope you have/had a really lovely stay with your family and return home refreshed. Schöne Woche! 😊🧳🍰🫖💕
Thank you so much! I think London will have the most amazing selection, also in bread and tons of gluten free options so you will be more than fine I'm sure. Wishing you a lovely week too.
What a lovely walking area and video, including the houses, I liked it all!
lovely video, thank you Kirsten. I enjoy seeing the different cups and saucer designs
You have cute hats and scarfs. Love getting videos from you. It's cold everywhere even in florida today it's chilly .The streets are so cool cobblestone. Some places have pubs and then churches next door at least they did in Lemont Illinois Lol.Bakeries are awesome there.Florida has nothing like that.
Thank you so much for this lovely video. I enjoyed it so much. Blessings to you and your family.
I'm glad you were able to visit your family. I've been waiting to goto Germany since 2020. Hopefully this summer. It will be my first time and my dream vacation trip! Great stories and video! Have a wonderful week. Love the nutcracker! What a great gift!
Loved the video, TY, Kirsten! The countryside is beautiful as are the beautiful old homes. Charming! The bakery is delightful as well - reminded me of Kondita Meister in Braintree, MA near Boston. Germans are some of the finest bakers!! So glad you got to visit your parents and Congratulations to you and Joerg, on your 33rd Anniversary 🎂😉🥂
Thanks so much! It will be even 34 years (I skipped one year but mention it in the video lol), we will be married for 30. Hope you're keeping well.
Country roads, cobbled alleys, cakes & bakery goodies are some of my favourite things in your videos Kirsten. Chapel is ' small & beautiful'.
