[@Kathysart]

After my husband passed I watched your videos. They brought me calmness and the sweetness that is you. I watched them constantly, and you, without knowing me or my precious Denny, helped me so much. So it’s not always about a tea or furnishings, it’s also about letting people into your world. You became my friend that I could rely on in those really difficult moments. Those moments still happen, but I know where to go for gentleness and softness. This will be the first Valentines Day without my husband. You remind me here that I can maybe create a little tea party for myself and hope that Denny will be there in spirit. Thank you.

[@davidandniko3428]

OMG. I am so sorry. I am sure he is with you every day!

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Kathy. My husband passed away almost 5 years ago this coming May. The one thing I've learned since then when it comes to holidays is to make your own holiday traditions. Every Valentine's Day, when he was alive and we didn't go out to dinner, I always made surf and turf for him. I've since been doing the same thing since he passed away until this year. I'm changing my menu to what I like and want. He will always be in your heart, and there will be things you and he did together that you will continue doing, but sprinkle in a new thing here and there that's for you. I will tell you, you won't ever stop missing him but you will be happy again and enjoy your life. I wish you all the best and Happy Valentine's Day💐💐

[@sanguinelynx]

Happy Valentines Day to you, Kathy. May it be filled with the love of joyful memories.

[@donnasnorthernlights2089]

Happy Valentines Day, Kathy. Yes, this is my calm spot too. Hugs.

[@mariabanholzer5960]

I encourage you to offer you a present and have a good time somewhere nice or at home. Much love and greetings from South of France☀️☀️☀️ all the Very best for you🌻

What a beautiful, colorful, elegant room…I love that Sophie is always with you and that is very endearing to me…Loved this style of Q&A….So very relaxing…

Sophie looks very happy and at home there ,I think she thinks you’re moving in

[@TheFiown]

I arrived in London in 1974 fresh from our council house in a Scottish village simple poor and hard working, no holidays, few new clothes. I began studying fashion at St Martins and met my best friend there who is of aristocratic background and at one point I lived with her and her parents in an enormous flat full of antiques overlooking the Westminster Cathedral. They gave dinner and cocktail parties regularly and as part of their 'family' I was invited to more at other gorgeous homes in London. As I knew no-one each time I decided that instead of asking people what they did, I asked them what they would have liked to do if they could start over. The replies were incredible and often in stark contrast to their actual profressions. I moved to Paris in 1978 and the difference in society was surprising to say the least.

[@elibakshi8799]

Wow, how were parisians different?

[@lyndariley9076]

It sounds like you have had a great adventure. Are you still in Paris I wondered?

[@queenscotia769]

Sounds fascinating indeed . Very intrigued Please describe the societal change you witnessed .

[@dazed_and_amazed1296]

Thank you for sharing, I N wondering too what changes you observed.

[@sylviacarlson3561]

Stephanie, could you tell us how it was different (having never been to Paris) than London society?

[@pamwilliams4540]

It amazes me that Sofie is with you in so many public places. Here in America, our pets cant go everywhere with us. But i enjoy that she is with you so much! Really enjoyed this video, the music and the lovely surroundings.

[@inproper3952]

Pets can go almost everywhere now in the USA, I have taken mine to the grocery store and shopping in other stores I always keep him in the basket on a blanket.

[@nahha9529]

It's Sophie who takes Nicolas to all these nice places. 😄

[@raymondconners]

@@inproper3952 they aren’t supposed to be in the grocery store but stores are afraid of asking why the dog is there because it could be an assistance dog.

[@robertdunbar2434]

Nicolas, thank you for this interesting and relaxing video. You never disappoint. I loved your music, location, and conversation topics. You are so open and genuine in discussing your personal likes, best, worst, dislikes, etc. You always give a message that is inspiring. "Take an interest in the lives of others and in the world." As an American, I always enjoyed the English Afternoon Teas during my visits in Manchester and Weston-Super-Mare staying with my cousins. You brought back fond memories for me. Your gift of engaging with your audience keeps us coming back each week for more. God bless you for being you. Robert.

[@LB-ku6ry]

You’re elegant and refined videos are a blessing to me as it’s challenging to find others who enjoy this particular lifestyle. I pretend that I’m your friend and join you on your magnificent journeys into beauty. You’re voice and mannerisms are soothing. I look forward to your videos. Thank you so much.

[@TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

Words cannot explain the excitement that came over me when I got this notification! 💖💕 I love being taken to these beautiful places with you, especially with tea! ☺️☕️🫖 Thank you Nicolas! & Happy Valentines Day in advance. 🌷

I love that Sophie gets to enjoy your excursions! She's so well behaved when you're eating. My dog would be driving me nuts! Lovely video! Happy Valentines Day!💕

What a room. Can see myself spending a lot of time in a room like that. Perfect.

Please give Sophie a dog cookie! She is such a good girl. This is a beautiful episode and raised the bar for the future. Kindest regards.

No cookies. Dog biscuits

As always a visit tea and good conversation with Nicholas is just lovely. Thank you💐

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Oh, I love going to tea. Its such a relaxing self indulgence we don't always do for ourselves. The room is divine!!!!! The tapestry couch, the red wall, printed pleated lamp shades, and the mix of patterns with the paisley and plaid on the pillows is swoon worthy!!!! Take me away! The only thing is here in the USA, we always have lemon curd ,jam and cream. My favorite is the lemon curd.

[@arell56]

That was fun! Sophie really knows how to pick the best places! 😉

[@andreakennedy3623]

Thank you for sharing this delightful setting with us! I loved the convo starters, and I love the ease with which you share your thoughts with us. Your choice of music is always so soothing and I can almost feel my blood pressure drop by half because of the peace that it brings to my soul. I love that you take the time to share these magnificent places with us, becuase for most of us, it will be the closest we ever come to places so grand! Blessings!

[@paulaelizabethg]

We are all coming over to have that perfect weekend with you!

[@alcg3981]

Ladurée in Paris is a charming, chic, old Tea House. With exquisite pastries too.

[@cindyhalpern3187]

I agree with you that Kate, the Princess of Wales, is a good role model, a kind person who lives her title with dignity and respect. She doesn't get involved with negativity of the media.

[@susanlarkin3790]

I enjoy your vlogs so much, but this one is my favorite so far! The chat prompts, your answers, the beautiful setting and delicious looking tea accoutrements are par excellence!! ❤

[@Dave_Hall]

Obsessions? I confess I’m a little bit obsessed with Nicolas saying “sweet treat”. I don’t know why but it always makes me smile. Unfortunately, we didn’t get one in this video, but… there’s always next time ☺️😁

[@jillengel4124]

Loved this Q & A video and the surroundings just added to the beauty of it. Glad to see Sophie partaking as well. My copy of “The Secrets of Pistoulet” arrives today.

[@Chahlie]

I went to a 'long table' dinner last week- so a large table of strangers. The acoustics were dreadful so everyone ended up shouting in each other's face. I was seated between a nurse and a covid conspiracy theorist, so of course came down with covid afterwards. I shall stick to more intimate affairs :) Fashion- I'm heading to an 'alternative' fashion show in a couple weeks. Am really looking forward to the energy of creative enthusiastic young people! Love seeing Sophie!

[@deannatroy8113]

It was probably the nurse who is constantly with sick people...

[@sheilaenglish9738]

Sounds like a nightmare and then you got sick! You’re right to want to keep your social situations more intimate.

[@sheilaenglish9738]

I share your admiration for the Princess of Wales. William made a very good choice didn’t he. Very much enjoyed the setting of this video. It is not a look I would want to live with but what a warm, luxurious place to sink into for an afternoon of chat and tea. ☺️

[@Lydia-zr2pb]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video and love Sophie and how you include her.

[@joleneosignac7123]

Always enjoy your posts. Just love listening to your calm, welcoming voice. And today's setting made all you had to say even more special. 💕

[@sylviavandegrift1388]

What a beautiful and romantic room you are sitting in Sophie seems to love it as well. Thank you for these tips. Happy Valentines Day! ❤😊

[@charliefunboy5210]

If I'm being totally honest, I have to admit that you are my 'celebrity crush'. I'm sure I'm not alone either. Loved the video. Thank you, as always for posting such an interesting and beautiful video. Happy Valentines Day!

[@angeliqueabma5679]

Good Afternoon Nicolas, quite beautiful part of the world where you live; I very much enjoy this vlog I just wished these were lengthier as I love love love watching. Take care 🤗😘💙

[@victoriaeaton7298]

I really enjoyed your video today. The music was lovely. I also enjoyed the etiquette lessons on what to eat first and how to do it. I have never been to afternoon tea, but if I ever do I will know the first steps. I always enjoy when you take us to a lovely place. Thank you.

[@Texastimbo]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful place. You are wise beyond your years. I live in Texas and look forward to visiting Scotland one year. I have been to England, France, and Wales. David Beckham! What a treat! I have never met anyone famous but have seen a few from a distance. I saw Prince Charles at the British Museum. He was opening an exhibit but we were kept far away from him by security. Kate, like Diana, has won the hearts of the world. She is wonderful! Oh… and Sophie is beautiful!

[@davids6898]

I live in Orange County, California otherwise known as “the OC”. I hate to burst your bubble but it is nothing like its portrayal in the TV show. They never showed the homeless encampments along the banks of the Santa Ana River, or the crime in the more impoverished areas. They do show all the glitz and glamour that exists in Newport Beach and its more expensive cities but even then it is over exaggerated and overly dramatized compared to what exists in real life.

[@alcg3981]

I think all shows like that are pretty similar. The Housewives of wherever, Beverly hills, etc etc. They play to a certain age group and wouldn't be watched if they showed 'real life'. I'm from So Cal too but live in France and it's the same here. Peeps think of Champs Elysées and all the places that the well-off frequent but don't see the Roms and others in the Metro picking pockets, on the streets with their kids waiting for change, etc. Same with NY and sex and the city .. can't think offhand of others..

[@rest8384]

I am always impressed with the elegant and natural nonchalance you answer all the questions and comment on your videos, which I enjoy watching from the start and can observe how you develop into a great personality over time.

This is such a lovely place. I love everything about the room where you are having tea. 🥰🐕🇺🇸

[@TheFiown]

On my first visit to Edinburgh many years ago we went to have tea at Jenners ( no longer exists ) and my boyfriend who was French tried to understand what the ladies at the next table were saying so I have to translate. I told him that they were speaking 'Edinbourgeois' !

My best afternoon tea was also in Paris Ritz. It was about 40 years ago!! First time in Paris. On a weekend gateway from London with my first husband. It was a snowing afternoon, a few days before Christmas and we were madly in love. What a glorious time I had then! What a beautiful memory ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Hello Nicholas I'm all the way across the United States but I absolutely love your videos. I truly love in the room that you are in it is so beautiful peaceful relaxing and romantic the flowers are gorgeous and yes like you I love my tea. I would love to buy some tea from you. If you can help me out where to buy your tea 🍵 oh I truly appreciate it. Hello Sophie has see you sitting next to your daddy I just love the d chords that you have sitting around your tables two pictures on the walls. Always wanted to have a little vacation to visit Wonder but things always pop up where were busy and I never got near but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'm hoping by this summer I'll be able to make it there. Yes princess Kate is very classy gorgeous young woman and she takes her job very seriously and that's what I love about her especially when it matters with at the children. You can feel it you can see it in her eyes and in her voice not as she only concerned for her own children but she has that concern and compassionate love for other children to. She will make a great Queen one day. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for sharing your videos from your home to mine. May God continue to bless you and always looking forward to seeing your next videos you have a blessed day. 🙏❤️😊

My favorite place I have visited is Venice, Italy, and neighboring islands. I had dreamed of going there since I was a child. It did not disappoint. The language of Venice is pure romance. Love the pic of you in your teens-sooo adorable. My dream week-end would be relaxing at the beach in a cozy cottage where I could listen to the waves lap the shore. My ultimate celebrity crush has always been Mick Jagger! I have been to three of his concerts. He is extremely talented, the ultimate showman. I love Kate Middleton too. Does Victoria Beckhem ever smile? She always looks sad yo me. Florida Grandma ♥️

[@roxannedaly279]

Tea at The Ritz in both Paris & Naples, FL!! Always perfection!! Back in 80' my late husband & I would go to Chicago for extended weekends 2-3x each year. Upon our check-in at the downtown Westin Hotel we would promptly go to their elegant afternoon tea! Always memorable! BTW, your setting for tea, with Sophie, is stunning...I understand why you love that setting/property❤!

[@conversecone9687]

I kept thinking as you were filming how you should be living in a house with rooms like the one in which you were seated. You produced another engaging and informative video. And Sophie adds a very relaxing dimension.

[@brendadrew834]

Great video Nicolas, very interesting and what a gorgeous, cozy, romantic place to have tea! Some places where I've had tea with my family here in Yankee New England have been the Copley-Plaza Hotel in Boston, The Augusta Snow Inn, The Chatham Bars Inn and The Captain's House all on old Cape Cod! Famous person I've met was actress Liv Ullman who is a very tall, big boned Viking woman from Norway! I was so overwhelmed meeting her I almost got tongue tied! lol Being of British/English, Scottish and Irish descent with a bit of French on my maternal side I make sure I have a cup of tea and more every day esp around 3 p.m.! Tea at three, can't go wrong there!! Thanks for all your great tips, too! Cheers~🫖🍰🧁♥♥ Happy belated Valentine's Day, too!!💝💗 Will have to check that handsome conductor in Amsterdam as well, since I'm a pianist/composer of piano pieces and a full length American folk opera who loves classical music as well! 🎼🎹♥

IN 2021 Judson College, Marion, Alabama, closed it's doors as a college. We had a silver set that belonged to missionaries from the 1700s. We had tea, and that included all the treats, when I was in college. A women's college, it was 15 miles from Selma, Alabama, and near the birthplace of Coretta Schott King.

One thing I like to ask as a conversation starter relates to Andy Warhol’s statement that everyone has their 15 minutes of fame. So I ask, “What was your 15 minutes of fame?” I’ve heard some fun and eye-opening responses!
