Life-update I need to share with you - a summer recipe, + a tour of a new plant store in Edinburgh.

[@beckiekureshi4547]

Dear Nicolas. I recently had open heart surgery and turned 60 this year. I’m so grateful that I was able to travel to six countries and enjoy my time then all of a sudden I had a massive heart attack. I’m now recovering from triple bypass and I discovered you on KZbin. Can I tell you looking at your videos every day is soothing and it’s allowing me to heal mentally and emotionally as well. I enjoy every single video of yours and it makes me so happy. Your voice is so soothing and I love seeing all the wonderful places you attend and all the neat ideas for decorating as I love decorating and throwing tea parties etc. Continue doing what you do. I love love love watching you. All the best from Atlanta Georgia.

[@JS-zs3zl]

How exciting! It’s scary & weird that people go to so much trouble to find your address, so I’m glad you’re able to move. I believe our place in Edinburgh is within walking distance, but I would never, ever think to play detective and invade your privacy. Some people have no boundaries. I love this flat, but I’m looking forward to your new house content. Also hoping to see what you find in the charity shops (I haven’t been in a while and I miss them). Good luck with the move. Xx

[@NicolasFairford]

I haven't been to the charity shops for a long time either. Hope you get to go soon x

[@lylytorrence4890]

One more thing. You are gorgeous. I could watch you all day plus your voice is very soothing and comforting to me. Thank you for your consistent videos. I especially love when you're decorating or planting. I do love a beautiful garden on any scale. Plants makes the world so much better and prettier. I have learned that it is possible to make gorgeous hedges with lavender, and rosemary

[@sarahcascio5099]

It's cool to see how many Americans watch our Nicolas! He's a treasure and a refreshing breath of air

[@atargeetparker2551]

Dear Nicolas, I have recently discovered your videos and have just fallen in love with them - it is so refreshing to see a young person so proper who is keeping the wonderful British traditions and manners. Keep up the great work and don't ever change :)

[@Tiffany-vj1tv]

Oh Nicholas so sorry people have found you... stay safe. Good luck with the move and be very discreet and keep details to a minimum so you can stay behind the scenes ❤️❤️❤️❤️much love and blessings 🙏🙏🙏 enjoyed the lovely Vlog today thank you for sharing.

[@NicolasFairford]

Will do - thank you so much x

[@designorganize2608]

The EASIEST move I ever made, was when I had a week left at the old place and access to the new place all at the same time. I moved ONE room at a time by boxing accessories and the room's contents, and taking it over to the new room. I even took the pictures over and placed them in the new room. I left the furniture behind and left that to the movers on the very last day. That way, I still had beds, tables, chairs etc. Every time I moved a room's smaller contents to the new location, I UNBOXED everything and in some cases, was even able to put things away in closets. I could then take the boxes back to the old place for use in moving the next room the following day. It was simple, and negated the need for TONS of boxes and wrapping paper... and the inevitable MESS of everything being dumped into the new location all on one day. Good luck in finding a private and lovely place....

[@NicolasFairford]

So hoping I can do the same!

[@aintgotnotltc]

You have such a beautiful heart Nicholas - the way you explain how people found out about your home address - this would bother someone else a lot but you handle it with such grace and calmness. Congratulations on the new home and cannot wait to see how you make the next place your own with your unique wonderful style

[@NicolasFairford]

Thank you so much! x

You are such a positive, confident and inspiring person, Nicolas! Here I am in Nepal, worlds away from Edinburgh, and you make me want to design and keep an elegant home once I have my own place (next year)! Your taste is impeccable but your easy attitude and calm demeanour keeps me coming back for more. 🤗 Thank you for your lovely content.

Good afternoon Nicolas😁 Your privacy is very importat and people should/should have respect that. The very best to you in your new home. Make sure there's no colored doors on the street🤣 What a wonderful colorful salad. Looks amazingly delicious. I love salads and will be making this one for sure. The plant store is really nice with all the pots, plants, etc. Nicolas, I really enjoyed this video and look forward to the nexr one😁

Nicolas I tried the salad. It taste heavenly. Did it without aubergine because I don't like it. Nevertheless, it is very tasty. I liked the way you arranged it in a leafy green bowl. Part of the fun of eating is its presentation. Good luck searching for a new home. I am sure you are excited like many of us waiting to see how you will decorate it. Much success!!

[@fifteenthofthemonth]

Congratulations on your decision to move. I have really enjoyed your filming in your current flat but also look forward to the new content, as you've said. Whatever you can share about the entire moving process would be great. I think there are many people who'd love to see you do it elegantly. I feel that you will take great joy from redecorating your new place and I am excited to share that journey with you.
