Your calm and soothing manner makes me smile as soon as I hear “Hello everyone, nice to see you...”

[@susanprice7202]

The universe (especially these days) is filled with overwhelming concerns and troubles! Each time your new upload appears, I can breathe a sigh of relief, relax, and enjoy the content you have so carefully and thoughtfully prepared for your "extended guest list". THANK YOU! You brighten so many people's days (especially mine.)😎💯👍

[@sagisli]

Perfectly stated, I agree

[@deniseharrell1591]

Oh, I forgot... bourbon cherries in a mason jar, and a KLJ take on french apero and and and!!!❤❤❤

[@AmethystDew]

Susan, you have taken the words right out of my mouth. In these uncertain times, we need to escape to the garden to 'feel' and commune with nature and to enjoy its prized bounty with lovely and loving prepared food. I, too, add my thanks to you Kevin and assure you that you are not just someone we subscribe to in a distant way but our dear friend. 🤗

[@peggywinslow408]

[@HeismyShepherd1]

Kevin, this cream cake reminds me of my childhood. I was born and raised during the 50s & 60s. This type of cake was always enjoyed and appreciated. Simpler times, and simple pleasures. It is so good to be able to visit them again through your baking. 💌

[@utubeAgape]

Once again, the privilege of joining you in your kitchen and your garden, has uplifted my spirits! I now feel so peaceful and happy❤. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@carmenfurrell9759]

[@lynnallen1315]

You need a bowl of whipped cream to go alongside the cake. Always a pleasure to take tea with you.

[@shirleystarling7300]

Very civilised Kevin. You always remind me of days passed. Keep doing what you’re doing.❤

[@lizg1976]

Every time one of your videos is uploaded I take the time to sit, relax and feel the peace your videos give me

[@carolynadams4669]

I always enjoy how genuine you are, Kevin. Admitting "I could drink this batter" was so endearing. Been there! And this recipe looks delicious. Hope the squash bugs don't damage your garden any further.

[@lindaalmanza1616]

I was having a rough start this morning as I am recovering from surgery. I needed to relax and calm myself, so I laid down, watched your videos. You always make me feel like all is well in the world. Thank you, you really make the world a brighter place.

[@fabiolaortiz5464]

Muchas gracias por enseñarnos y compartirnos momentos tan bellos.

[@KingParamecium]

Everything about your videos rules, but your land is so beautiful, watching you walk around with a musical interlude is a treat. It’s almost like a “character” itself in your “show”.

[@Diane18]

Hi Kevin you inspire me so much. I used to just look at my china in the closet but now I am using my china more and more to prepare a lovely tea for my husband and myself. I also baked some madeleines and arranged flowers from my garden to enjoy indoors. Thanks for the motivation!❤life’s simple pleasures….

hi kevin, never commented before, but i love spending time on your channel. no matter what chaos is happening in my life, you remind me to center myself, get back to what is important to me. i don't know if that make sense to you when you read this. thank you

[@lilialessandra4963]

Back from a party. Before I go to bed I watch this video. Thank you so much , I really like your way. 🧡🇨🇵

[@irenegoldsmithesq.8376]

OMG, I pulled the cookbook right off my shelf and found the recipe. It was not my grandmother's cookbook, it was my mom's and she has all kinds of notations within the book of the cakes she made. FYI, my mother got a kitchen aid mixer in the 1950's. I have had mine since 1986. I have fond memories as a little girl of standing on a kitchen chair and looking down into the kitchen aid bowl knowing that I got to lick the beaters when it had done its job. That same kitchen aid sits proudly displayed on a prep table in my kitchen. It provides memories of my very loving, cake-obsessed mother. BTW, I'm 63 and also in the Hudson Valley. Happy baking.

[@janetdickerson2518]

So lovely and peaceful away from the troubles that face us on this earth. Thank you so much! Refreshing and Inspiring. 💗

[@D31taD4wn]

Hi Kevin, another Great Recipe and Video. God Bless.

[@debbiegloury3351]

Hi Kevin,I just love listening to you ,so calming..and my husband is soooo jealous...he...he..he.. Love your garden and the way you decorate your house. Your tea sets are beautiful...my grandma has beautiful tea sets too...no one bothers with cups and saucers anymore nowadays.

[@tinaanderson6853]

I loved the vintage recipe demonstration. It's always such a pleasure spending time in your videos with your kind demeanor, useful ideas and the fact that you never are in a hurry, going about each task with calm and decorum. Have a blessed day and weekend, Kevin, and looking forward to your next video! 😊

[@rorey8535]

Hi Kevin always love watching you in the kitchen making various recipes I can almost smell the cinnamon and sugar looks delicious. Enjoyed seeing your lovely garden looks so peaceful can't wait to see more.Take Care

[@jackieedwards7672]

[@rozenngermain3063]

Your cake looks like a "Savoie cake" in France ! Thank you for this video

[@Sandy-mx5fr]

Thank you taking us on a walk through your beautiful garden and recipe . I look forward to seeing it all again in the fall. Love love location of the pool

[@lankenaugirl]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. What an extraordinary gift you are to those of us who were craving wonderful, peaceful videos like yours. .

[@Deonna-Draebish]

Kevin, my sweet husband David and I spent our childhood on the Tippecanoe River in Indiana and when I was 12 I asked him if he was going to marry me some day? He said yes! Life went on, we spent 30 years apart, and then reconnected and I've now been married 17 years to the first boy I fell in love with at 10 years old! The River's Gonna Cry when you're gone, could be our theme song! I love the music you find and share as much as the recipes! Thank you!

[@tinabraxton4906]

I also have an old-fashioned, rotary flour sifter. I've had it since the 1970s and brought it with me, everywhere I've moved.

[@Change4Good333]

It's so wonderful having tea with you, dear Kevin. Thank you for these delightful moments. Fantastic recipe and lovely walk through your beautiful garden💗💗💗

[@dianehall5345]

Hi Kevin. Lovely cake and my favorite tea. Life is good :-)

[@swansfan6944]

I just sat down with a cup of tea 🫖 to watch this video, sure wish I had a slice of that cake 🍰 to go with it. My store bought Arnotts biscuits will have to do this time. Thanks Kevin. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺

[@easystreetwithjen]

My grandmother always had some kind of sheet cake available. My favorite was her spice cake, which she made year 'round.

[@a.phillips6892]

The cake looked awesome! I missed Avery, I hope he got a small piece of cake!

[@marymauldin3229]

Kevin I love to watch your videos. You may not know this but you are just a delight to watch. With the butter nut squash and the bugs, I know how you feel. I have a large Ivy and the spiders just love it. Have tried a few things to stop them but it seems nothing is working.

[@christinax1257]

I've been binge watching your channel for about a month. I absolutely adore your personality and content. I'm waiting to see the cat, I've only heard her so far.

[@ShantelBezeditz]

[@kham6006]

I’m curious what your previous life was before KZbin - I’m happy for your KZbin success-

[@laurenl5843]

Thanks for this recipe Kevin. I have never tried using heavy cream instead of butter in a cake recipe. My favourite tea is Darjeeling. 😊 I love your property and your beautiful home. Greetings from Toronto 🇨🇦😊

[@stacylamb5607]

I hope you show us your leeks when you harvest them . I am dreaming of potato leek soup. Thanks for welcoming us into your home

[@helenmorgan9754]

My dearest Kevin and the fabulous Mr Fox, What a delight to watch your videos. You really are from a different era, one of gentleness, kindness and humility. Your life is blessed, you have each other and wonderful friends. Just what you both deserve. Thank you so very much for your wonderful hints and tips. Sorry about the Butternut squash, I hope you are able to harvest some for soup. Take care of each other. God Bless you and keep you safe. Thank you for spreading so much love. Helen South Wales UK

[@carolynmiller9312]

What a pleasant afternoon!

[@karenmar1529]

Your home and garden, pool etc. Is so lovely. You take such great care of it and it shows. I love the color of the shutters, very nice. Everything just whispers relaxing, tranquil notes. The dessert looks like a delicious treat. I must try. I like your idea of some pumpkin pie spice for autumn.

[@Gwing7061]

I enjoyed our walk around the beautiful garden with you Kevin. The cake looks delicious and it's good to see you make a 'real cup of tea.' looking forward to seeing you again next week x much love 🇬🇧🌼🐝🐞🌳 xxx

[@carolavant3778]

Such a lovely tea, Kevin!! One of my dearest friends from the late 70's always loved, as he called it, "Gee Darling" tea! I remember my Gran making that cake back in the 1950's when I'd come to stay with her, and am so glad to see it again and have the recipe! I will definitely be baking one just as soon as our weather cools down a little. Last year, July was the horrid month. This year, it's August! Our temperatures are in the mid to high 90's right now, and next week we're expecting triple digits - No baking for me until September unless I do it in the bread machine. Keeping the house cool is important, and even more so now, because I'll need to periodically take care of my chickens, by taking them cold fruits, mellon pieces, and adding large chunks of ice to their water several times during the day. It nights are above 90, they also will get a gallon jug of frozen water in their coops to keep them cooler. North Florida weather can be brutal!

[@wjkwjk3484]

Nice garden. You can make mint tea too. Fresh mint in the garden.

[@mrsramales]

This is a luxurious batter. I can drink it too!! Velvety delicate and delicious 🎉. As usual over the top Kevin. The garden the good the bad and the ugly!! 😂😂😂😂😂 The boxwoods from cuttings. You are a garden architect 🎉 Such a beautiful property!! Such a classical feel. Inside and out of the house. Oh those tomatoes 🍅. Thank you Kevin . I always look forward to all your KZbins 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Janice_1979_]

Hey Kevin we lost our zucchinis to squash bugs as well. I watch Daisy Creek Farms and he has a great tip to get rid of them. Great cake Kevin.

[@cynthiagreen6927]

Yum. How peaceful you make afternoon tea feel. I love the walk through your garden.

[@evagiles5258]

[@sharonhines9698]

I'm am making that cake. I don't care for overly sweet cakes, this looks perfect. The stroll through your garden was so enjoyable, you and Mr. Fox have a beautiful home. 😊

[@kristinaginorio1344]

The theme songs you include in your videos have become familiar. They add to the sense of visiting an old friend.

[@serenastanley9830]

Kevin! I learn so much from each and every one of your videos! I am feeling much more confident about hosting an afternoon tea party thanks to you! I think that I have the table setting process down pat, and perhaps even a cake recipe. By the way, the shutters look beautiful! Cheers!🎂

[@sandratalbert9578]

Wonderful video! I only recently discovered you and your channel - love it! I'm living my best life, having met - at age 77!! - the man of my dreams.

[@happyday8280]

Hi Kevin … I enjoyed strolling with you in your beautiful garden. Your veggies are coming along nicely. My friend came for her birthday lunch and she has an allotment so I always get wonderful tasting veggies. I made the courgette soup ! We also had sticky sesame tofu, your parsley hummus and lots of other goodies. I’m going to make that cake ! I was raised in the fifties ! Hello Avery ❤ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🥕💕🌹

Nice cake recipe. I love my hand blender. My first one lasted for decades. Now have a Cuisinart one. Sits on a container that holds the tools and cord. Love it. Remember to pinch off the basil blossoms. Darjeeling tea is my favorite. Hello from Willamette Valley Oregon.

[@louisebrouillette5580]

When I saw the petunias alongside your onions I remembered a song from elementary school...."I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch, and all I do is cry all day." Have you ever heard this lovely, old-fashioned little tune?

[@janetbex7526]

That looks truly yummy!
