Getting ideas to IMPROVE OUR ENGLISH KITCHEN
Getting ideas to IMPROVE OUR ENGLISH KITCHEN// In this video, we'll be discussing kitchen improvements and ideas to help our English kitchen become more beautiful and even more timeless and classic.
We visited the beautiful DeVOL Kitchens showrooms at Cotes Mill in Leicesteshire (I have been pinning their images to my kitchen Pinterest boards for years now!) to get inspired and seeing their 5 amazing kitchens ranges. A new kitchen would be our ultimate dream but we think you can definitely improve a kitchen by going for a high quality worktop, beautiful knobs, a classic sink and tap. We will give you an entire tour around the inspiring showrooms including all the antiques that you can buy there as well! Kirsten & Jörg xx

WE STAYED IN A MAGICAL TOWER IN YORKSHIRE: FULL TOUR!
WE STAYED IN A MAGICAL TOWER IN YORKSHIRE - FULL TOUR!// Happy Tuesday everyone, In today's video we're sharing our long weekend in Richmond, North Yorkshire! We spent 3 nights in England's most romantic folly: Culloden Tower! This folly belongs to the Landmark Trust and is the perfect couple getaway! It spreads over 4 floors with an amazing sitting room and bedroom with a both gothic and classical style. The octagonal ceilings with their plasterwork and carvings are real works of art and it feels truly special to be there. The view from the big windows towards Richmond Castle is absolutely amazing. While our time at Culloden Tower, we also got a bit of snow which made it feel even more special during the festive season. We give you an entire tour of the folly and hope you will enjoy this special accommodation. Kirsten & Joerg xx

EARLY CHRISTMAS ENGLISH CHINA & POTTERY SHOPPING: Spode, Duchess China, Wedgwood & Burleigh
EARLY CHRISTMAS ENGLISH CHINA & POTTERY SHOPPING: Spode, Duchess China, Wedgwood & Burleigh// Happy Tuesday everyone, It's the end of October and we probably aren't the only people starting to think about Christmas and Christmas presents. Since Stoke-on-Trent is only a 40 minute drive from us and because we both really love English pottery & china, we thought it might be a wonderful idea for some early Christmas shopping and visited some of the factory shops to look for presents. We start with the amazing Spode Museum Trust Heritage Centre where they have such a wonderful museum shop which we can highly recommend. Spode China is simply beautiful! We then head to Duchess China 1888 which has the cutest factory shop too and then go to Wedgwood for tea and some browsing. Last but not least our go to, the Middleport Factory, to get some of our beloved Burleigh Pottery. Enjoy! Kirsten & Joerg xx

RECIPE ALMOND & POTATOE PUDDING:
INGREDIENTS
170 g/6 oz/1⁄2 cup cooked mashed potato
115 g/4 oz/generous 1 cup ground almonds
285 ml/1⁄2 pt/11⁄4 cups milk
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
115 g/4 oz/1⁄2 cup butter, plus extra for the mould
Pinch of ground nutmeg 5 eggs, separated
1⁄4 tsp cream of tartar or squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Salt
Chopped almonds, to decorate lemon slices, to serve (optional)
METHOD
If you do not have any cold mashed potato to hand, start by peeling, dicing and mashing some potatoes and allowing them to cool.
Put the ground almonds in a saucepan with the milk, lemon zest and juice, and butter. Warm until the butter is melted and the milk is blood-warm, and mix well. Remove from the heat and stir in the mash. Add the nutmeg and a good pinch of salt, together with the egg yolks. Mix well and set aside. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
Whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks (the cream of tartar or a squeeze of lemon juice will help). Fold the eggs gently into the potato mix.
Butter an 850 ml/11⁄2 pt/31⁄2 cups mould or 900 g/2 lb loaf tin and pour in the mixture. Give it a couple of gentle taps to settle it.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour until light brown and set through. Invert onto a wire cooling rack, demould, decorate the top with chopped almonds and serve hot, surrounded by lemon slices (optional).
You can also leave it to cool in the mould for 1 hour before turning it out, slicing it, sprinkling it with a little flour and frying it in a little butter.

A COSY WEEKEND in Northumberland: Tour of our Airbnb & One of the prettiest English villages// Happy Tuesday, In today's video we're welcoming autumn with very cosy vibes! We just stayed in a gorgeous Airbnb in the most beautiful English countryside in Northumberland that we can't recommend any more highly. We give you a detailed tour of our airbnb at Swinburne Castle and think you will really love it. We also take you to the attractive town of Corbridge with its lovely shops and old buildings. Some streets look like straight out of a Charles Dickens novel. After that we're visiting Blanchland Northumberland for the very first time. It's one of the prettiest villages in the north of England and we can absolutely see why. It's a picture postcard place! We really hope you enjoy your cosy video! Kirsten & Jörg xx
