If only Harry had found a wonderful American like this lady. She's terrific.

[@99mtrench]

Why hate?

[@maureenb6095]

One thing I truly admire about you, Julie, is that you have guts! You’re not afraid to try anything. Getting into the 17th century bath with all the muck on the bottom??? I sure couldn’t have done it, lol! 🌸🌸

[@redbird9658]

Was thinking the same.

[@maricartrombley3305]

That was a 400 year.old muck.

[@mayradell3953]

That is greatly continatef water.

[@debbygarbato1156]

I once waded into the fountain in Washington Square Park in NY on a super hot day and that was slimy enough. But not TOO gross.

[@meeeka]

Next time, get in with your wellies!

[@PipeDreamerJacques]

This was absolutely priceless. I can scarcely remember another time I’ve heard this much perfectly dry British humor. And Julie is quite the brave woman!

[@mandihebert959]

My favorite lines: “I’ve been canceled by my wife.” And “Just lift yourself up… you’re a yogi.” 🤣🤣🤣

[@cathyann1601]

LOLOLOL!!!!!

[@carlkoh]

I like Luke's sense of humour. His commentary is not bad. I like to hear him giving the history and long version of the house and about how things came to be....and you interrupt him so often! You are both very funny and entertaining.

[@DeeLTFL]

"Did it have teeth?" I was dying every time he said it. So matter of fact and calm. You two have such great rapport. Love these videos. Please make more. :)

[@denisehal53]

Thinking they should add tshirts to the souvenir things they sell...first one says "but did it have teeth" 😂

[@DevonRexLady]

@@denisehal53 🤣

[@sknap2728]

What I think is amazing is the person holding the camera is able to keep it so steady...i mean they've got to laughing with everything Julie is going through. Yes, I'd like to see the bloopers, too. 😂😂😂

[@Muttsrus-bk7yd]

I laughed so hard!! U and Luke are so funny together. I think Luke is right that pool needs cleaning too. I think a good cleaning every 400 years is good for everyone.

[@ln2559]

Hi Julie! I have a helpful tip! If you get stung by nettle, take a bunch of soft fern in your hands and rub it really hard in your hands until it's pulverized and rub the ground up fern on the sting. Takes away the pain! I learned this from my husband. We were hiking up a mountain in Washington State where he's from. I stumbled and grabbed the closest thing to me to keep from falling backward...Stinging Nettle! I didn't know what it was. I told him about 10 minutes later my hand was stinging really bad for some reason. He reached down grabbed a fern and told me to do what I just informed you of. He saved the day, and our hike! Cheers!

[@blesskittens4484]

Completely hilarious! She’s screaming and he’s ignoring her! Just brilliant fun. Loved it!

[@andrealee230]

THE DIP IN THE COVERED POOL WAS ABSOLUTELY HiLARIOUS!!! thanks for the fun of that!!! You are a great sport!!

[@Andrea-ig2wo]

The viscount’s commentary is exceptional! 😆

[@skersto]

I personally find Luke hilarious! 😂 (and patient lol)

[@judithcomartin1450]

Yeah, I love that his humour. And why not package and sell that sludge?

[@MC-qp3tz]

Me too… wish she was more receptive of him

[@kyssedbyfyre915]

RIGHT! I wouldn't mind a sweet little British hubby who'd allow me the honor of living in his beautiful family home and gardens! And _I'd be NICE TO HIM_ 🥰

[@annapesceanscaia1598]

Yes, he knows that arguing with a woman is a waste of time.

[@kymcrowart7876]

I laughed my head off….and both of you bantering is the cutest thing ever. This was wonderful! Julie, you are such a good sport!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you!

[@jadejohns3107]

Oh dear! That was hilarious and awful! You’re a brave woman Julie, not to mention a jolly good sport! ♥️🐲😀

[@MappertonLive]

😁

[@playwithmeinsecondlife6129]

Julie, seriously you should throw him in. I expected to see Elizabeth the first herself rise from that muck.

[@1...2guesswhoscomingforyou]

There is an additive I use in my pond that works like a probiotic and eats the algae while being safe for the tadpoles and frogs. I have no filtering system and the water is crystal clear.

[@newamericansvoice3159]

Sounds good. What's it called?

[@pamporter5752]

I love Julie, she so represents the Chicago girl spirit! It’s fun viewing her life at Mapperton through American eyes and the interplay with her husband’s dry Brit wit is hilarious.

[@NightsMuse]

LOL! That was hilarious! He is so unruffled by it all!

[@deannaevans5235]

Never never never would I have done what you did there Julie! If I can't "see" the bottom of any kind, in any body of water I'm NOT going in! HaHa! I love how the two of you bounce off each other :). It made me laugh so often during the video. You are brave my Lady!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you!

[@Rebekahlow]

Love you two together!!! Julie is so brave to go in those pools!!!!!!! I like the idea of harvesting the mud.Luke could go in and hand scoop the mud.That would make it "Artisanal". Look forward to future videos of Luke in the pools with a scooper!! Love from Vermont

[@MappertonLive]

Great idea!

[@buddyr3]

@@MappertonLive That’s clean l still see Allergy build up! Plus l think pipe pumps water in should be cleaned and flushed out cause water green not clear water in normal pool also if way filter water it should be done and lastly it should be sand blasted then acid and chlorine wash!

[@Burbankelly]

Luke is so funny and witty! He’s the reason I keep coming back! Love Julie too and she cracks me up but Luke is certainly very entertaining!

[@trisharomance4026]

This Episode was absolutely HILARIOUS! I laughed so hard there were tears streaming down my face ! The most extraordinary thing is that I am NOT a LAUGHER!! You took me far and away to a place of sheer DELIGHT ! YES ! QUEEN JULIE’S BATH should be engraved on the 400 year header stone ! Your screams will never be forgotten! Thank you ! You two together are the best comedy team EVER !

[@marymcandrew7667]

Julie you are really brave! I would never do that! And your husband cracks me up...you're freaking out and he's calmly talking about how good the mud is for you.

[@chg1264]

While he keeps a good distance from the muckery.

[@miav785]

Luke is every so helpful to you Julie with all of the "helpful" advice. And he kept a straight face as well. That stiff upper lip that the Americans claim the Brits have and all came into play. Do we get the blooper reel of this at some point? And ps, the Bath should be drained and cleaned before the pool. It would be interesting to see how deep it really it.

[@MichelleMyBelle2.0]

I would love to see the bath drained and cleaned! As well as the pool being drained and being patched up. I find this so interesting!

[@thedailyvictoria]

You guys seem still giddy in love, it’s adorable!

[@jbarry471]

I'd really like to see what the Queen Mary's bath looks once the plants/growth are removed and the pool drained and cleaned.

[@janabeckman545]

Luke's commentary, advice and "help" was hilarious

[@jwv6985]

Julie is a swirling, rotating ball of energy! Love her 💕 😂

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

OMG, you two sound just like my hubby and I. You're so funny Julie, loved watching this video, thank you for letting us all share your lives!

[@snollber]

This is such a positive channel. I always feel really happy after watching Julies adventures. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@MappertonLive]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@amycamp978]

You've got to love it when our Husbands say "I think you'll be fine"......giggles!

[@tanyapowell8577]

I apologize right up front, but I laughed the entire time thru this video😂😂😂😂😂. The two of you are a comedy team!

[@darlenechandler2403]

Julie is so brave with all of her swimming and getting in these waters.

[@debbygarbato1156]

Hey, Julie, try wading in w/Tevas w/straps. They won't fall off or get sucked in. Neoprene kayaking booties are another option. I'm a kayaker; the booties keep you warm and sludge free.

[@Pippinjuice]

The ‘water boatman?’ repetition with English and American accents was amazing 🤣

[@deborahhopkins6158]

You two are quite possibly the most entertaining duo on KZbin!

[@amerinethorburn1124]

The two of you could do a comedy show. I cannot stop laughing.🤣🤣🤣. Fabulously funny.

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you!

[@brookelayne309]

Julie you make this American girl proud ! Lol

[@never2late454]

I'm impressed that she actually got into that nasty looking water without knowing what was in it.

[@gerdabreig9689]

Oh my god😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing at the end, you two are hilarious!!! Very gutsy Julie, wouldn’t have gotten me in either pool!!

[@spreston1996]

Watching Luke and Julie is better than watching Punch and Judy any day, though somewhat similar.

[@LA-jf1zn]

Oh Julie bless your heart you are a trooper!! No way, if I can't see the bottom forget it 😧! I love how he called you Queen Julie. So fun to watch you both. 🙂

[@macgregorwiggins1285]

Luke's humor is truly hilarious!

[@museumgirl9]

OMG, the two of you! What a delightfully happy/healthy/loving relationship!

[@lmgtulsa]

Hahaha! You two crack me up! Once you get the filter back up and running, it’ll be a wonderful natural swimming pool. It’s such a lovely spot, on hotter days you could probably get a crowd who would want to take a dip.

[@LCNWA]

You two are so much fun -- have a question when the kids are around are they as fun as you two? Don't ever change! Julie kudos to you at least getting in both entities & not going ballistic on everyone! Me I would be madder than a wet hen!😱

[@laurieanne9712]

I know this aired months ago, but I literally HOWLED the whole way through! How very brave of you, Julie!

[@KarynnLynn]

Hilarious!! I love Luke's non-stop nonsensical banter. Julie, some sort of cleaner in the pools would be beneficial for the safety of the water. And it would show better to visitors. Maybe there are natural algae eaters you can use.

[@diyana]

Julie and Luke are like the 21st century Lord and Lady Grantham of Downton Abbey 😍

[@Smartychase]

Yes of course never thought about it like that before always wondered watching Downton how Lady Grantham felt being surrounded by all British even her own children so properly British same for Julie .....

[@risalangdon9883]

Roflol, Julie, I can't believe you didn't push him in lol.

[@JoanneOz]

Hi Julie, I recently saw a program where the owners of a French château renovated what looked like a very similar structure to your Queen's bath-house, retaining walls and all. There wasn't much left of theirs and it was all overgrown and ruined, but the 'pool' was quite similar. It had previously been a laundry-washing place, where the household's bed linens etc could be cleaned away from prying eyes. Perhaps this was its C17th purpose (if the Queen didn't actually frolic there)? Lovely episode, thank you for sharing Mapperton 🌿

[@taraschumacher3838]

I laughed and laughed at this one! I’ll probably watch again for another laugh! 😂. Well done on this video!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you!

[@Jeff_Reed]

Julie and Luke, your rapport with one another makes me feel like a trusted family friend along for the adventure! I’m really enjoying everything that y’all have been doing.

[@pattisaunders7386]

This was the funniest video y'all have made. Omg, I am crying laughing . All it needed was for you to pull him in the bath. Thank you for what we all need....a good laugh!

[@MappertonLive]

Thank you!

[@cherylmcdaniel3349]

I love the two of you talking simultaneously to the camera. Absolutely priceless.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

You two are a blast! That’s immersion of a second and third kind dear, I think you’re a breath of fresh air who won’t let sunken sediments just lay forgotten 😆 There’s definately some cleaning up and repairs to do, but on the agenda now! And such potential, I can just imagine the pool renovated and cleaner than ever, and QE’s bath all clean with little floating lights for a serious spa bath! Bravo! 👏👏👏

[@nigelludkin-yoxall6845]

got to love our aristocrats.......bonkers the lot of them !!!

[@americanwoman9342]

Luke says Any moment now something is going to crawl out of that soup.. 😂🤣😂🤣😂 love the screaming in Elizabeth’s “waterhole”!

[@LETTYONLY1]

I hope he's buying you a handbag and some Louboutin shoes ....your a total legend going in that bath thingy

[@SivaJivamukti]

All that energy in such a small package! Love it! Julie you do us proud. Hugs from NYC xo

[@-CT]

Luke and Julie are hilarious 🤣

[@AliSkarsgard]

Haha love you Julie and your enthusiasm...I am so happy to know that I am not the only woman in the world that does little screams like that 🤣 xx

[@joanreichenbach4896]

So fun to watch. Yes, Luke’s comedy had me Laughing Out Loud. “ Did it have teeth?”

[@01Lenda]

I pretty much giggled all the way through. Julie you have some cahones,, 💯%. Luke, "Yes, let's get some spoons and pots, valuable mud here"... 🤔🤣😅. Best video watched yet! Thank both of you, for a much needed laugh and giggles! 🧡🌿🌺

[@angelanoble3050]

A little madness and a lot of bravery is needed to jump into that muddy water - so we’ll done Julie!

[@stacywettstein8285]

You two are a Comedy Team. I love your different angles of contributing to the experience. ❤️

[@leelashope8971]

Bahahahahahahahahaha! Can't stop laughing!! Hahahaha. Her screaming, and him looking at the camera, and talking calmly about it all! She's sinking in the muck, and he's telling her to swim across, Hahahahaha, She's got one leg up trying to get out, and he turns, totally igoring her predicament, and looks at the camera, and is going on about the value of the mud. I'm dying laughing!! I can't see from the tears in my eyes, and snort laughing! I absolutely love you two, your lovely manor, and family. This is the best channel ever!

[@rafaeltorres4728]

Julie did it for us. Thank you, Julie ! Big hugs for you from Brazil ❤️😘🙌🏻

[@julietrask7497]

Love it! Hang in there Julie

[@rhondamartin3575]

You're amazing Julie! You're so brave to do cold water immersion! I could never go into that dark waterhole! Also, since you don't know how deep it is or with what's in it! You're so natural and down-to-earth! Your videos and Mapperton videos, make me laugh and I just escape into them! Thank you!

[@gigieyre]

Oh my goodness!!! I don't think I breathed for over half of this video!! You are so brave!! I couldn't have stuck a toe in that sludge. I'm still screaming from just watching it!! On the other hand...I love these videos and look forward to watching each one!!

[@machellep1]

Oh what a teaser, can’t wait for this one.

[@cynhains]

These two are hilarious together. And Julie, she's a gutsy gal!

[@Kerousmac]

I just came upon your channel today, and was immediately awestruck. As an American from New England area, with a love for antiques (since I was a kid) and all things Victorian, the inside look at your stunning property is a real treat. Its so elegant, almost like an Alice in Wonderland scene come to life with the gardens.

[@sandyscott8565]

You two are AWESOME thank you for the laughs 😄😂😁

[@mariasvard1701]

I found this channel last night and fell for it 😍 I love these places and you guys are super entertaining 😂 would love to see more videos!!! Love from Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷💕

[@karenmilovich3088]

Hilarious! The two of you together crack me up! I would NEVER have gone in that pool, Queen E. or not! Julie, you’re of tough American stock👍🏻🤣

[@ellechristie1111]

Oh, Luke is trouble! 😃 Julie so brave and up for anything while Luke is dry and makes everything seem totally fine and okay. 🤣 “Go ahead, Julie. That 400 year old muck is nutrient rich and great for your feet!” You two are a great couple…what a lovely (and quite funny) dynamic you two have!

[@jenjem5810]

Yikes, I know you are adventurous, but I'd pause due to the dubious water!🦠🦎

[@britzel71]

This was hysterical 😂I'm healing from neck surgery and Covid as well as an inflamed spine and wasn't prepared for this laughter. Oh my goodness I'm in horrible pain but appreciate the laughter still. You two are adorable.

[@DH007-w2d]

Nessie was here. Julie too... Yes, mud is packageable.

[@marjorykephart4700]

If you look at the Chateau Love episode with Vivienne decorating the inside pool area, you will see a pool that you don't have to clean. That is after you get the "expensive" but disgusting mud out. They use oxygenated water which is very healthy to drink and swim in. The apparatus is quite small. You'll just have to take the leaves and sticks out. Love your videos.

[@ADWorcestershire]

The two of you are great together‼ Thank you for the laughs and smiles you gave me‼ 😀☺❤

[@jadyk03]

😂😂😂💗💕💖 omg I looove wheb you guys argue and talk at the same time 😂😂🤣😂🤣 💗💕💖

I wanted him to help her out

This is by far my favorite clip on your channels! Omg! Hysterical! Your husband adored you!

[@whileimhere9971]

Julie ! Julie , Julie! Go girl go!! I was laughing and crying so hard at the end that I had to rewind and actually “watch” it again. I am obsessed with the channel and the property! Much love from Canada.

[@heyitsshone957]

Beautiful is an understatement to describe Mapperton.

[@melissaphillips3088]

Oh Julie… never would I have got in that water. Oh my goodness you are a brave woman. Valuable mud??? Luke you are hilarious.😂

[@ChrissieSM]

The Viscountess is hilarious! I love her!

[@helenleven2654]

Luke not concerned about your welfare was hilarious 😂 Julie you two together are so funny

[@maryalicecullen526]

I love watching you guys. When people think of the aristocracy they think of grand clothes and opulent grandeur, but the reality is that this is what it’s like and I love that you guys show how relatable you actually are. You’re both so sweet and down to earth and it’s just fun to watch you guys discover all this stuff right along with us. ❤️
