I TRAVELLED TO GERMANY

[@dianehall5345]

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

Was für ein schöner Gruß aus dem Saarland ! Immer wieder merkwürdig das eigene Land durch die "Linse" eines anderen zu sehen 🤭.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Vielen Dank!

[@bernadettecrawford3656]

My brother Thomas loved Germany he said it was so clean

[@lindareynolds2547]

The countryside is lovely and the city was beautiful . Everything is so clean, I just love that.

[@tonyatucciclark2195]

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. 💜💜💜

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much Tonya! Yes, so enjoy spending time with them.

[@pathumphre2827]

I'm half German & half Irish. & I love watching the places you visit god bless have a great day🤗🤗

[@cindyhalpern3187]

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.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Sadly I lost my beloved mother only 5 months ago. It’s so so hard as we were extremely close.

[@wandamclaughlin8405]

So blessed to have both your parents. The little chapel was precious! Thank you for sharing.

[@janelevers291]

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

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Jane! It was so lovely, we just celebrated Christmas in January.

[@kcinca5410]

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.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@beckybroussard2078]

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.

[@carolrichardson5259]

Lovely video. The Nutcracker is fabulous 🤣 x

[@barbralauterbach5901]

Loved seeing the German countryside and the tasty treats! Would be fun to see the home you grew up in.

[@craftlover9702]

Loved it! Absolutely enjoy seeing Germany and learning more about traditions and such. Glad you were able to spend some time with family!!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@francescraig7371]

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 🙏

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Frances!

[@caroletraynor8763]

Loved the chapel so pretty,

[@marthafazzini9835]

Thank you for taking us into the Chapel. In the US we would refer to the chapel “ as an Adoration Chapel”. Just lovely. ❤️

[@lindaking9222]

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

[@almasilva9627]

Suck a beautiful video! Germany is beautiful ❤️, it's on my bucket list! It looks so peaceful and lovely! Thank you for sharing Kirsten!

[@femalism1715]

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!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Hahahah yes, a bit messy, you would usually use it for walnuts but we didn't have any.

[@homerwiggins3965]

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.

[@maguy993]

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❤️

[@VionaBee]

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. 😀

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@marysmyth8288]

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.

[@sylviapage8572]

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.

[@KirstenJoerg]

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.

[@raymondsouthorn1578]

I love these glimpses of small town Germany!

[@brendahemby3848]

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.

[@betsyspencer6680]

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!!

[@JeanneBaney]

I love Tuesdays when there’s a new video from you!

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!

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.

[@gill2292]

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!!

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.

Although we missed Joerg being at your side, this was an enjoyable video. AND THOSE DESSERTS! Yummy! Thanks, and brightest blessing!

[@ellenpeel2346]

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.

[@joannekempf3350]

How lovely you were able to visit your parents. As I recall, your mom was unwell. Is she doing better? Your little village is delightful and those cakes - well you all would have had to find something else to eat because I would have stolen them for myself!

[@YvonneO]

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 🤗

[@KirstenJoerg]

This is wonderful to hear, thanks so much for sharing that.

[@lisawinfield8982]

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.

[@giddingsrocks]

I loved this so much. I enjoy seeing places in Germany as much as places in England. Maybe more, because they are all so new to me. As I was watching I kept thinking oh show that trail or show the other direction too. I could have watched you walking around near your parents house for hours. It's so beautiful and interesting. The little towns are also fantastic. Thank you for sharing. I really loved it. Please make more videos before you go back to England. Im so curious to see more. ❤

[@barbaram5214]

[@newenglandhanseatin6200]

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!

[@em4steam896]

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!

[@105cathy]

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.

[@JohnSmith-dw2uc]

What a lovely video, so pleased for you Kirsten that you managed to visit your parents. Loved the beautiful chapel, very peaceful, and the beautiful houses. Your nutcracker is gorgeous, and will look adorable with all your Christmas ornaments. Look forward to seeing you soon back in the UK. Safe travels. ✈️ Love Alison & John 💕

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 :)))

[@HelenBeeee]

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!
