When Joerg kisses you on the forehead, it is so sweet! I just love both of you! I look forward to your videos.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

Kirsten, your personality is so cute and precious. Lovely to watch. 🌹

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Christa.

[@ayseberry7494]

I realised that I get a natural smile on my face and a sense of calmness when I see a video from you. Thank you to both of you. I love your beanie hat. Looks so sweet on you.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much, that's so kind.

[@cinderelladevil1687]

I feel the same with these videos. This couple convey happiness, relax, style and simplicity. I could watch this for hours.

[@ayseberry7494]

@@cinderelladevil1687 yes, agree totally.

[@KirstenJoerg]

@@wendi2819 Thank YOU!

[@sharenladd2948]

I do that as well as make comments as if I'm part of their conversation lol

[@annacostanzo6586]

Jorg is such a gentleman and he can cook. A perfect combination

[@glendaadams9409]

Y'all are the most sweetest couple. I've been watching your videos and I love them. Y'all are my new favorite thing to watch on KZbin. So happy I found y'all!

[@KirstenJoerg]

That is so super kind, thanks so much Glenda.

[@bonsaipal]

Absolutely wonderful! I could sit and listen to you both for hours, you're interesting and with a cup of tea, so relaxing!!~

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

Kirsten, you have a sweet way of making the mundane very special. I love that about you! And I love Joerg’s sense of humor. He clearly adores you.

[@rheahutchinson2059]

Such a lovely couple and I always look forward to your videos...I will need grief counseling if you ever stop your channel😊

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

Ooooo, I would love to spend time at the Tweed outlets. Joerg, the tomato sauce looked so delicious, it made me hungry.

[@lindamasson3094]

Kirsten, I love your laugh, you bubble over with joy. This was an amazing place. "Self catering"....a Britishism.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Linda!

[@hilltop9098]

“Holy Island “ I remember it well. For us children at school in the sixties and living in the north east it was somewhere we regularly went on school trips...........but always careful about remembering the tide times.🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🚣‍♂️🚣‍♂️

[@KirstenJoerg]

Wonderful memories!

[@apeaceablekingdom4445]

Now that I've finished watching it, I just want to say how peaceful and perfect the last scenes are at the castle grounds. The music exquisitely matches the tone of the landscape and makes for a most lovely escape from the realities of this harsh world. Thank you ever so much and god bless you both.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

[@claudinedenys5237]

The cap suits him wonderfully

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you, we can share the cap which is absolutely great, we do it with accessories anyway.

[@bellacat1175]

Kirsten and Joerg, your videos are filled with such calm, charm and simple pleasures of life. Sending you warm wishes from the USA. Enjoyed as always!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much!

[@suzettebristol3683]

I cannot tell you how much joy your videos bring to me. My life is so stressful right now as I am working on getting my PhD. When your videos come up, I am able to escape. Thank you so very much! The love between the two of you is beautiful.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much Suzette - wishing you all the best for your PhD, a very stressful time indeed.

[@minnierose4398]

Such a pleasure to see an upload from you guys. Your videos are a great way to get out and about without leaving home ❤ Very calming & informative - Thank you ❤

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@milkshake123abc]

Lovely trip. Scotland is so ruggedly beautiful. The castle is amazing & that sink! Gorgeous. Somewhere in my ancestry are Scottish people. Strong, brave people. Thanks for sharing. Always a highlight of my day when your latest video gets posted. Peace. ☮️

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@jtsinclair1120]

milkshake123 Hi, Milkshake, as a proud Northumbrian lass, I'd like to point out that only shopping bit at the start was in Scotland, the 'ruggedly beautiful' scenery and the castle on Holy Island/Lindisfarne is actually just over the border, in Northumberland in ENGLAND :)

[@apeaceablekingdom4445]

Oh YAY!!! A KIRSTEN!!! Just what I needed 💚🌻🍀

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you!

[@patriciaaustin2301]

We are coming from the USA to this area in May. Thank you for your video! I always feel like your videos are a feast for my eyes! Happy travels.

[@KirstenJoerg]

That's wonderful, you will love it I'm sure. Thanks so much for watching Patricia.

[@courtneyhume7918]

I loved Lindisfarne! It has my kind of furnishings...vintage/antique minimalism. I was thinking that just a few minutes before Joerg described it the same way! And the bag and hat are lovely! Thank you again for sharing your travels. 🥰 from the USA

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Oh how great, the furnishings were so perfect up there.

[@annevalentin3847]

Lindisfarne seems so beautiful !!! I love your new tweed bag, very nice !

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Anne! Oh yes, it is - so so grateful that we finally got to see it.

[@luvenia4537]

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful footage on this Island. I would love to visit there some day. I have never traveled outside the United States.

[@gammaupsilon8487]

Beautiful places, beautiful video, hugs from Belgium

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@karinbergman1646]

So very beautiful. I love the Tweed bag. It looks like your and Jörg's coats that you sometimes wear. And how neat to have a Tweed jacket made for Jörg. The causeway to the castle looks a bit challenging. One would have to keep aware of the tides at all times! The castle looks so atmospheric in the distance. Whenever I see such structures on top of mounds, I always think of the numerous generations of previous dwellers and incarnations associated through time with the present. I have got to get to Great Britain sometime. I really want to visit Scotland, especially, being descended from MacPhersons. It looks so romantic, wet and cold! Imagine what living in that castle would have been like with no electricity! No wonder the lifespans were so short! Thank you for such a lovely visit and tour! I always treasure wandering with you and Jörg! 💗💗💗

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much for watching Karin! Yes, you definitely have to check the tides but if you do, it's all good. Lindisfarne itself is in England's Northumberland but on our way up North, we visited Hawick in Scotland and our cottage was at the border. Have a lovely week.

[@steverobinson868]

Hysterical "welcome to Scotland"! We replayed it several times. 🤣 Perhaps the next time you go to Scotland Joerg can try Skull Splitter, an Orkney brew. (If he hasn't already)

[@christinewrigley8310]

Always a pleasure to watch your tasteful and interesting videos. Sending hugs to you both 🤗 xx

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Christine!

[@Tomm_C]

Ah you cheered my day Kirsten! I've had a bad start to my week so thanks for cheering me up!

[@KirstenJoerg]

So pleased, thank you!

Thanks so much Raymond.

[@susanearle4088]

I always enjoy tagging along with you guys on your adventures. I will never see these things in person, but thank you for sharing them with me. The hats look great on both of you! God bless and thanks again.

Thanks so much Susan.

[@cyndierussell9209]

Thank you again for taking us along on your adventure. Going to Scotland in May so thanks for the preview Kristen. From Michigan USA

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Cyndie! Oh how great, we will visit Scotland properly again in June (going to the Highlands too) and we are really looking forward to it.

[@katrinafarmer207]

Can recommend the overnight tour to the highlands ,they booked our b + b and it was quaint, similar to the places kirsten stays and reasonable price.

[@Funeeman]

Northumberland is in ENGLAND!

[@sherryhudson9075]

I LOVE that weekender plaid bag you bought ❤️

What a fantastic trip! That cap looks perfect on you too! And love the travel bag. Looks like very good quality.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Oh yes, very very good quality and we will be able to share - we do it with a lot of accessories which is great.

Wonderful vid you guys , I love Northumberland it's so beautiful , and I'm glad you do too xx

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! It is so amazing, we loved our trip to visit Hadrian's Wall a couple of years ago but there's still so much for us to explore.

[@christine1373]

I have mild depression that hits about once a month and your videos really help with my mood. You both are so kind and sweet! Kirsten please, I must know where you found your umbrella!! This fall I'm planning on getting myself the tweed coat you have. Its so well made and I know it will last. We have nothing of quality in the US anymore. Thanks to you both!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Christine, hope you're feeling okay. Our umbrella is from Barbour, I'm sure it's still available.

[@jeanettegillings7202]

being only a recent subscriber I'm catching up on all your wonderful vlogs... you look as cute as button with that cap on Kirsten... Did Joerg get his jacket? I'll have to watch more episodes to find out :) thank you for sharing... your trip looked wonderful... and it was my kind of weather... I love the cold! Take care.

[@nitroriley857]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Great video and wonderful music.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

Whoa! Love that sink! What a place! Thank you for taking us there! 😊

[@dianelevine1512]

I love your videos and music. Takes me to a place so different from where I live.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@roannecampagnolo4629]

The pasta sauce looked so yummy. Thanks for the video. Always a pleasure to follow along with you two!

[@KirstenJoerg]

It was really good! Thanks so much!

[@Lady_Thistle]

You two are such a joy to watch all the time.. I am a tweed addict myself.. will definitely check out that mill if I am ever in the area.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Oh yes, so many people think tweed is far too warm but if it's a good mill, they have adapted and make such great tweed - Lovat Mill is definitely one of those mills.

[@sweetlady3651]

The castle was so amazing and seemed so cozy

[@KirstenJoerg]

It's really gorgeous there.

[@ericduffield524]

Lovely video as usual ❤ I've always liked the thought of touring that area. Loved the new tweed on the bag! I'm in love with the castles furniture; The beds, the kitchen area and the blue sink were wonderful to see. Thank you for showing us 😊

[@santelder]

Loved the tweed weekend bag you bought in Scotland .Lindesfarne looked so special ,and would have been peaceful if you could have weekends there.I painted a watercolour of Lindesfarne from the beach below .I gave it to an American Friend who had visited it with her late husband .It reminded her of that time .

[@Laura-vv6cf]

I was really looking forward to this video when you announced where you were going last week. It didn't disappoint. Thank you for taking us along on your journey! Take care.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much Laura, makes me so happy. Take care too.

[@mechelledouresseaua1156]

The food and wine looks delicious

[@KirstenJoerg]

Joerg is such a great cook and really enjoys it too.

[@judyconsilio8853]

How is it that there were no other travelers in those areas? To me, this made your trip all the more special and intimate. Simply exquisite . .

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh there were but we were quite lucky as we started early in the morning so it's wasn't too busy but we often wait for a longer period of time for visitors to leave a room so we can film. Thanks so much!

[@michaeltichael]

Travelling vicariously with Kirsten and Joerg. You both should know, your videos made my isolation period during covid a much more pleasant experience.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much!

[@maryjanemccoy1159]

I'd absolutely love to have a weekend getaway like that where the weather makes you appreciate being warm and cozy all that much more once you're done with your beautiful but blustery outting! And that castle was amazing, my favorite part of the video.

[@reggieandherman4251]

"Welcome to Scotland!" 😄great to see you laughing. We live in a small stone cottage, so y our accommodations reminded me of home. Loved the decor in the castle. And What Joerg said about it. Simple and minimal. Very calm. That tweed bag goes with my new wool skirt. You find the coolest items on your travels. I'm such a hat person and the cap is classic. Hope to visit UK one day. And find some gems, too. Thanks for sharing. BTW did it take long getting used to driving on the other side of the road? Take care

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much! Oh yes, the castle had such a great and homely atmosphere. So happy to hear that you like what we bought, such great quality items. No, it didn't take too long to get used to driving on the other side of the road actually.

[@Babbajune]

I just love this video! Thank you both! Joerg's pasta dish looks so good! 💖💖

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! Oh yes, the pasta with the tomato sauce was really good.

[@janice9688]

Thanks for this, it brought back so many memories. I’ve been to Lindisfarne twice, such an atmospheric place, I loved it.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much for watching! Oh yes, it's so special.

[@catfish7646]

Lindisfarne looks so interesting. I would love to see it. Thanks for taking us there. I also like the tweed carry bag. I would use it as a handbag as I carry so much stuff with me. Maybe that’s why I always have s pain in my neck. Anyway thanks again 👍👍👍😻

[@KirstenJoerg]

Lindisfarne and Holy Island were such a treat. Oh lol, it’s a wonderful bag, thank you, could work as a handbag but not if you had to carry it all day long, neck pain would definitely happen I think. Thanks so much for watching.

[@starlightcraftsGB]

Lovely to share your travels. I feel cold just watching this one, lol

[@Jacquiandteddy]

A lovely video! I'm so glad you made it to Lindisfarne and the weather was reasonable for crossing the causeway. And well done on your pronunciation of Hawick! Looking forward to part 2 now.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thank you so much! Oh yes, the weather wasn't too bad, we were so happy to be able to explore, it was beautiful.

[@daisysmum7336]

Another wonderful video. May l ask, did l see 'Cavonia' linctus on the bookshelf? The bag and cap lovely. Did l miss the cardigan you bought? You both always look beautifully dressed even in casuals. I could have tucked into your German bread. Cant wait til your next video, my fave couple. Thank you for sharing.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! I will show the cardigan in the next video.

[@bobtom4533]

Crazy about the detailed dark antiques against the light colored walls...my favorite combination. I just put away the winter wheat from our vase recently. Gosh what a location there. Thank you both.

Thank you so much!

[@cinderelladevil1687]

You make the most of simple things. You show that there is mo need to make fuss in search of happiness, you are happy and enjoy to the hilt what life brings. Be it a dish of penne, a windy day, a tweed shop in a rainy day, or a one day stay in a rented house. Thanks.

[@karenhodgson1413]

My maternal grandmother came from Bedlington. Near Morpeth. My great aunt stayed up there, but my grandmother moved to the south when she left school in 1938. There are some lovely little books, by a man called Denis O’Connor, the Paw Tracks series, about his cute little cottage, and all his cats. I’m sure they are still in print.

[@odayobalthazar]

Very nice pictures. Thank you for this nice 'rendez-vous'! We already wait for the next one. Kind regards from St - Cloud (France),

[@susan2657]

Amazing I would love to stay there also and that kitchen was to die for I loved it. They lived so simple then..Thank you for sharing I’m going onto the next video..💞

Thanks so much Susan!

Excited when I saw you had a new blog up. Another fabulous location and despite the weather you both have such fun. The weekend bag is stunning and such quality that will last . You look stunning as always even in the terrible weather and the hat suits you. Jorge made a beautiful meal. Would love the recipe for the sauce 😋 Looking forward to part 2 and your next monthly favourites. Xxx

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Penny! There might not be a Monthly Favourites for last month as we bought bigger things that we will be including in a video about our house and hope that's okay.

[@pennypincher5495]

Kirsten oh yes that would be great. Can't wait 😊 x
