Birds and chickens and roosters surrounded by gorgeous gardens and the sea! My idea of heaven.

[@gregpendrey6711]

Yes idyllic just don't forget to choke the chicken so everyone can sleep in. Don't laugh.

[@NicolasFairford]

It does sound nice, doesn't it! X

[@mariedupuis7802]

Oh it is such a beautiful place ! I love this kind of garden so relaxing and made for dreaming...Plus the weather is fine ! A pleasure to see. ❤❤❤

[@TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

What a gorgeous, peaceful garden! 💖🌷 Thank you so much for sharing with us Nicolas! I loved last weeks video as well. Very relaxing.

[@NicolasFairford]

It's a pleasure, thank you so much for your kind comments x

[@berphateal1638]

Your channel is so relaxing it is my place to come when the stress of life overwhelms me. Your calm voice, beautiful music and interesting content is all I need to relax and ready myself to take on the world. Thank you, thank you 🙏❤

[@NicolasFairford]

I'm really happy to know you find the channel relaxing and it is your place of peace!

[@tstieber]

Gonna wait to watch this with my husband later, but did want to chime in and say that the last video was our favorite one ever. Coming along on little outings and seeing activities and new places, especially beautiful architecture, design, and nature is much more interesting to us than watching you bake, for example. We get to see things we never would in real life. Keep up the great work

[@carole8142]

Yes, that was an amazing video. Nicolas did a beautiful job of it.

[@NicolasFairford]

I'm really happy you enjoyed the last one, and I really hope you enjoy this one too! Thanks for your kindness x

[@Sueellenmschke]

I still like your baking videos, too, though!

[@razwana500]

That house and its surrounding are certainly beautiful and my dream house too, Nicholas x

One of the characteristics that I admired in you is the way you see and appreciate the beauty of nature. Love to see Sophy and Peggy enjoying themself in that beautiful place. 🐶

Thank you for your kind words! x

[@susanprentice9668]

Oh Nicholas the Midland accent still comes through. I can tell because my husband comes from Birmingham. He left when he was17 and now is 74 et from time to time it’s the odd word or vowel. It is lovely makes you so human!

Hi Nicolas. What a beautiful home. I am convinced that you have lived that life in a past life. Your passion for architecture must have been learned and appreciated in times gone by. ❤

What a lovely day you shared with us at Greywalls. I also love Edwardian architecture. Your friend's Nissan Figaro is so cute and stylish. I hope one day she sells or gifts it to you. All in all, it looks like you, Nathan, Sophie and Peggy had a beautiful experience. We have so enjoyed these last two vlogs. Only ten more days until you return to your residence! Fondest regards.

I love your new style: seeing beautiful places that I will never get to visit. You have the gift of engaging your audience with the best in nature, architecture, music, and storytelling. All the best from New York City, Robert.

Thank you for showing me about it . About the car you look smashing and sweet with my Sophie she is the star of the show. You Are very sweet smart and thoughtful of how to present these beautiful places. Stay inspired and empowered. God bless you and family. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@carolweaver3269]

What a lovely Cottage, that truly is all anyone would ever need or want. It takes money and time, and hard to achieve but when you have help all works out fine. I think it take imagination in this day to keep a cottage like this going, as of the expense. and would love to own one like this myself, if I thought it was possible. Thank you so much Nicolas, for sharing. Would not ever have had this chance to see it had you not taken this time. Love all of your vlogs. You always do such a grand job presenting everything you do, or places you go.

[@oldcrowcreations]

The garden with it’s beautiful buildings and statues is just lovely. Having tea and slowly wandering around is something I would thoroughly enjoy. The car is just adorable. 💕 If I lived close enough to things, I would give up my car and walk or bike everywhere. Glad your apartment will be fixed soon. Thanks Nicholas 🥰 💕to Sophie.
