Kirsten & Joerg: 2 Germans in Britain

Cuddling with HERDWICK SHEEP in THE LAKE DISTRICT - the best way to relax// If you love sheep and have always dreamt of getting really close to them and even cuddle them, this is something for you. Yew Tree Farm in Coniston in the Lake District, a farm Beatrix Potter bought in 1930 and now home to Jo and Jon and their 1000 sheep, offers a Herdwick experience. Herdwick sheep in the Lake District are the most beautiful sheep in the world and local to the area. I promise after this experience, you feel so incredibly happy and completely relaxed! Beatrix Potter wasn't only a children's author but also a conservationist and committed to the conservation of Herdwick sheep. Herdwick sheep grow very slowly and by purchasing products directly from the farmers, you are supporting sustainable fell-farming and protect the Herdwicks and this amazing landscape. _____ WATCH THE FULL EPISODE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttllhm0Yfgg&t=806s YEW TREE FARM CONISTON: http://www.yewtree-farm.com MORE ABOUT THE HERDWICK EXPERIENCE: https://yewtree-farm.com/herdwick-experience/ _____ CONNECT WITH US: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenandjoerg/ PINTEREST: https://uk.pinterest.com/kirsten_wick/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Kirsten_Wick #lakedistrict #lakedistrictnationalpark #herdwicksheep

Vintage shopping: QUEEN ELIZABETH II SPECIAL PIECES & ANTIQUES// Dear all, We hope you're all doing well! The whole world is mourning the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Most of us have known only her and really came to adore her. When she passed away I (Kirsten) was still in Germany visiting friends while Joerg was already back in England. While talking on the phone, we said that once I'm back we will visit the Vintage Emporium in Stockport which is our favourite place for vintage shopping to look for special pieces to remember the Queen. But because we can't help it, we will be sharing lots of beautiful antique pieces and also enjoy a cup of tea in the Vintage Tearoom. We found some wonderful things but are quite certain that we will add more throughout the year. Much love, Kirsten & Joerg xx _____ (*THIS VIDEO IS NOT SPONSORED*) THE VINTAGE EMPORIUM: https://www.pearmillvintageemporium.co.uk/emporium_new/ OLD MILL ANTIQUES: https://www.oldmillantiquesltdfailsworth.co.uk _____ CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO: 0:00 - Intro 1:05 - The Vintage Emporium in Stockport 7:21 - Vintage Tea Room 8:06 - More vintage browsing 9:48 - Old Mill Antiques in Manchester 9:29 - Waking up in an English medieval cottage 11:46 - Vintage haul _____ MUSIC: The music in our videos is from Epidemic Sound, a royalty free music sharing site which you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to access: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ _____ CONNECT WITH US: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenandjoerg/ PINTEREST: https://uk.pinterest.com/kirsten_wick/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Kirsten_Wick #queenelizabethii #antiqueshopping

GERMAN FOOD, BEER & TREATS we (sometimes) miss as GERMANS LIVING IN THE UK// Hello everyone! First of all, we are extremely sad about the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. It all happened when I (Kirsten) was travelling to film for YouTube and it took some days to sink it to be honest. We've had this video already prepared and hope a bit of a distraction is okay. We always get so many questions about what kind of food, beer & treats we sometimes miss as Germans living in the UK. We thought it would be a great idea to film everything we had while visiting our family. Of course it seems like so much but this was filmed over a course of weeks so it would never be something we would have on a daily basis. We came to realise that so many German dishes contain a lot of meat and during the week and at home, we usually eat plant based so this was a huge exception for us. Living in the UK, this is probably one of the big German culture shocks!! So today we hope you enjoy our little German food tour taking you from German Bratwurst to a little German beer tour, Weisswurst, German potato salad and so much more. Enjoy! _____ 0:00 - Intro 0:36 - In a German supermarket 2:07 - A Bratwurst stand in Germany 2:53 - Great German beer 4:25 - A barbecue in Saarland 8:59 - Illingen in Saarland & our 30th wedding anniversary 11:11 - Cute German beer 11:33 - German cakes 11:55 - Bavarian breakfast 12:32 - Dinner in a German beer garden 14:42 - German 'Rinderrouladen' 15:14 - Kaffee & Kuchen in Germany 16:36 - Outro _____ MUSIC: The music in our videos is from Epidemic Sound, a royalty free music sharing site which you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to access: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ _____ CONNECT WITH US: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenandjoerg/ PINTEREST: https://uk.pinterest.com/kirsten_wick/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Kirsten_Wick #wheatbeer #germanbakery #germanbread

A day in one of the most BEAUTIFUL AREAS IN BAVARIA: LAKE CONSTANCE & LINDAU// Hello from beautiful Bavaria! We spent a whole day in Lindau at Lake Constance (Lindau am Bodensee) to explore this stunning town and the biggest German lake which connects Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It's a very popular area for tourists and we can totally see why. It goes without saying that it's also an amazing place to live! We explored the town centre, did a gorgeous cruise on the Bodensee and of course had to visit a beer garden to enjoy some traditional German food. Before we drove back to the Swabian Jura, we stopped in Wasserburg Bodensee which is only about a 10 minute drive from Lindau and extremely picturesque! We hope you enjoy our videos from our homeland.

PERFECT TOWNS & VILLAGES in the South of Germany// A big hello from beautiful Germany where we travelled to see our families! It's always such a huge highlight for us not only to see friends and family but to film and share some amazing places with you. And there are plenty to visit in Deutschland! Today we share the beautiful South of Germany where Jörg grew up. We start with Herrenberg which has such a picturesque old town and really looks like a storybook. We walked the Herrenberg trail which we can highly recommend because the historic houses are full of charm and character! We also share Schlatt, Bitz and Hechingen with you. Hope you enjoy! Kirsten & Jörg xx P.S. We get many questions about where the people were - it was a regular week day so people were at work which was good for us as it made filming a lot easier but whenever possible we try to avoid filming others. _____ (*THIS VIDEO IS NOT SPONSORED*) 'B&B' PENSION KIRCHGASSE 1: https://www.pension-kirchgasse1.de _____ CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO: 0:00 - Intro 1:22 - Old town of Herrenberg 2:54 - Stiftskirche Herrenberg 3:58 - Pulverturm Herrenberg 4:50 - Old town & Market square 6:38 - Lunchbreak 7:55 - More exploring of Herrenberg 10:35 - Schlatt in the Swabian Jura 11:55 - Bitz 14:09 - Hechingen _____ MUSIC: The music in our videos is from Epidemic Sound, a royalty free music sharing site which you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to access: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ _____ CONNECT WITH US: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kirstenandjoerg/ PINTEREST: https://uk.pinterest.com/kirsten_wick/ TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Kirsten_Wick #herrenberggermany #badenwürttemberg #germanybeautifulcountry

SHOPPING at the BEST & NICEST SUPERMARKET IN THE UK// Happy Tuesday everyone, We will visit our family in Germany very soon and decided to go to one of the best and nicest supermarkets in the UK: Waitrose! Waitrose is regarded as a posh supermarket in England so it's usually not our go-to supermarket but you can get nice products here so it's definitely always a treat to come here (they also have many German products). We bought some products for us and some goodies for our family. We hope you like our Waitrose food haul.

HOW WE DECORATED OUR ENGLISH COUNTRY BEDROOM// Happy Tuesday everyone, We are beyond thrilled to finally share our (almost) finished master bedroom and hope you like it! We start by making the bed super cosy and comfortable, then hang our curtains, pictures (buying antiques has become a huge part in our lives) and so much more. It was so much fun to create this dreamy room which suits the character and vibe of the whole house. We wanted to create in an English traditional style and used many English fabrics. None of the products mentioned was sponsored but we thought we would share and mention the things we bought in case you're planning something new or a makeover and are looking for some inspiration.

My obsession with ENGLISH POTTERY: EMMA BRIDGEWATER & BURLEIGH in Stoke-on-Trent// Happy Tuesday, We hope you're very well! We had to switch a video (our last video from Portsmouth will be posted next week!) so today Kirsten shares her obsession with English pottery, particularly Burleigh Pottery (but also Emma Bridgewater, Spode, Wedgwood etc.). If you have been following us for a while, you know :) Should you be new to our channel and have a passion for English pottery and china, you will love this video. Joerg and I started buying beautiful Burleigh pottery once we moved to the UK although I've been loving it for more than 20 years. Not living too far from the Stoke-on-Trent potteries, we have easy access to the factory shops and really love it. We start our day with a scrumptuous breakfast at Emma Bridgewater. After that, we check out the Emma Bridgewater factory to buy some fun items that will be the perfect addition to our home. The Burleigh factory shop is only about a 10 minute drive from Emma Bridgewater and I think it was our 5th time there. We visit a couple of times a year as you can always get such great deals. Hope you enjoy! Kirsten & Joerg xx P.S.

ISLE OF WIGHT: Our Journey to the Beautiful British Island// Happy Friday everyone, We are so happy to publish a 2nd video this week and show you our journey to the Isle of Wight, the beautiful British island located in the English channel. We took the car ferry from Portsmouth to Fishbourne which was so easy and only took 45 minutes. From Fishbourne, it's only about a 15 minute drive to Osborne House, the gorgeous family home of Queen Victorian & Prince Albert. We loved it so much that we spent most of our time there. In the afternoon we drove to The Needles, the famous landmark on the Isle of Wight. The day went by so quickly and we wish we would have had more time. But we simply loved it and can't recommend the island any more highly. Hope you will like the video! Have a lovely weekend.

HOW TO SPEND A PERFECT SUMMER DAY IN ENGLAND// Happy Tuesday everyone, While Joerg and I were in Hampshire England we had the most glorious English weather and thought it so much fun to share what we really enjoy doing in summer here in England. We like to call it our own guide to slow living as other days are mostly so busy and we all need intentional living once in a while. We started by visiting Uppark House & Garden in West Sussex, a beautiful 17th century country house set in the glorious English countryside. From there we drove to Stansted Park Farm Shop to get some goodies for a lovely picnic in the shade. Then we visited the most beautiful churchyard in Blendworth and finally went back to Portsmouth for an alfresco dinner. We really hope you enjoy the video.

PORTMEIRION - A PLACE YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT TO FIND IN WALES// Hello dear all, We are back today with our Portmeirion vlog from last weekend. Portmeirion in North Wales is a beautiful Italian inspired village in Gwynedd, North Wales. It's very surreal and feels as if the Italian Riviera meets Rural Wales. Designed by the Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925-1976, Portmeirion village is so worth visiting with shops, hotels and self-catering cottages/apartments. Overlooking Cardigan Bay on the coast of Snowdonia, you have it all here especially on a glorious summer day. It was our 3rd time in Portmeirion and we always enjoy it so much. We hope you will like the video.

Do you ever wonder if fairytale cottages still exist? They do, they do and you can find them around the world. Since Joerg and I live in the UK, we are always looking for fairytale cottages in the UK for a romantic get away. And there are plenty.

A DAY IN THE COTSWOLDS: EXPLORING BEAUTIFUL COTSWOLDS VILLAGES & PLACES// Happy Tuesday, Are you planning a day trip to the picturesque Cotswolds and need some inspiration which places to visit? We definitely have some tips for you. We visited some hidden gems that are so worth exploring. It's a fact that some of the most beautiful villages are to be found in the Cotswolds and this time we had some places on our list that we haven't visited before. Villages like Sheepscombe or Minchinhampton are absolutely beautiful. There are so many gardens in the Cotswolds and this time we thought we would give the Painswick Rococo Gardens a try and it didn't disappoint. It's absolutely beautiful! We do love a great farmshop in Britain and went to Jolly Nice Farmshop and can only say good things about it. Great products, great people!! Last but not least probably not a hidden gem but an absolute must: Arlington Row in Bibury! William Morris once described it as the most beautiful village in England and it is indeed very charming with quirky fairytale cottages. Thank you so so much for watching!

BEING A JANE AUSTEN CHARACTER: SPEND A REGENCY WEEKEND IN ENGLAND WITH US// Happy Tuesday everyone, We just returned from beautiful Hampshire, England where we experienced the most amazing Regency weekend. We went to the Jane Austen Regency Week which takes place every year in Alton and Chawton. We started last Saturday at Alton's High Street where there were lots of stalls and many people all dressed up in Regency costumes. Of course we wore Regency costumes as well and it was such a great experience. Joerg definitely looked the part and resembled Mr Darcy and I tried to channel my inner Elizabeth Bennet. We also went on a Jane Austen town walk where you can find many places and houses connected to Jane. Our personal highlight was going to Chawton on Sunday - Chawton is the most picturesque English village with many fairytale cottages that look especially beautiful now with all their roses in full bloom. Jane Austen spent the last 8 years of her life at Chawton Cottage. During that time four of her novels were published: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and Mansfield Park. We went on a morning walk and then gathered in front of Jane Austen's House to go to Chawton House where her brother Edward Knight lived. It was a lovely summer day and we had a glorious Regency picnic with wonderful people. It seems very timely now since the new film adaptation of 'Persuasion' is coming to Netflix next month. If you're looking for ways of how to romanticize your life, we can highly recommend a Regency weekend. We so hope you like the video.

LET'S GET DRESSED IN REGENCY FASHION// Happy Tuesday, Today we share our exciting visit to Bath where we travelled to get into the mood for a Jane Austen Festival in Hampshire this month. We're getting dressed in Regency fashion for the first time! The amazing team at at Bath Theatrical Costume Hire showed us what costuming we need to look like a Regency Gentleman and a Regency Lady. We had so much fun and felt like Jane Austen characters! I especially love the Regency dresses with their empire waist. Bath (our favourite city!) with its elegant Regency architecture is simply the perfect place. While being there we visited several Bridgerton filming locations that we think you might enjoy as well! We so hope you will like the video.

OUR VISIT TO THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW IN LONDON: When things don't go as planned// Happy Friday, As promised today we're sharing Part II of our visit to London where we went just a week before the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee. Months ago we bought tickets to the Chelsea Flower Show 2022 because it has been on our wish list for more than 20 years. Expectations were high so we tell you what we actually think of it and if it's really worth going. We also share parts of 'Chelsea in Bloom' which always happens alongside the Chelsea Flower Show - Chelsea's retailers, hotels and restaurants have the most beautiful flower displays. Chelsea is wonderful to explore!! We hope you enjoy the video!

PLATINUM JUBILEE AFTERNOON TEA ON AN ICONIC LONDON BUS// Happy Tuesday, Jörg and travelled to London on a train just before the Queen's Plantinum Jubilee weekend and thought we would do something very specially and quintessentially British! We booked Platinum Jubilee afternoon tea on an iconic London Bus. We have been to London many times but thought it would be so fun to actually tour London and drive past famous landmarks while enjoying afternoon tea. And it honestly was so much fun! After the fantastic tour, we check into our hotel and give you a little tour of our room. We so hope you enjoy our London vlog.

VISITING THE SCOTTISH HOLIDAY HOME OF THE ROYAL FAMILY: BALMORAL CASTLE// Hello lovely people, Today we're sharing our visit to Balmoral Castle, the Scottish holiday home of the royal family. After our visit we think it's the most incredible place for long walks and hikes - the gardens aren't that impressive but the landscape and Scottish Highlands are simply breathtaking. On our way back home to England, we had to visit at a Whisky distillery in Scotland of course so we went to the Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery because Jörg really loves whisky so we booked a tour and a little tasting (though I will never be converted as I don't like the taste of alcohol). By pure coincidence, we stumbled upon The Highland Chocolatier in Pitlochry when we drove to Aberfeldy which was so nice as the chocolate is absolutely divine and the people in there so nice. We hope you enjoy this video.

WE STAYED IN THE MOST LUXURIOUS & ROMANTIC HOTEL IN THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS (room + hotel tour)// Happy Tuesday everyone, We can't wait to share today's travel vlog and where we stayed in Scotland! The Fife Arms in Braemar was on our wishlist since last Christmas and we were able to make this wish come true just now. Oh what a unique place! It's definitely the most luxurious and romantic in the Scottish Highlands surrounded by breathtaking Scottish scenery. If you love art and antiques, you will simply fall in love with this hotel. We stayed in the Lord Byron Room which is one of their Scottish Culture rooms. There's so much to explore on every corner, all the original art pieces took our breath away. And you can start hiking from the doorstep, it just doesn't get any better. We tried to film as much as possible (we had to leave out some bits as the video would have been far too long) so you hopefully get to experience The Fife Arms with us. Scotland travel at its best we think. Enjoy! Kirsten & Joerg xx P. S. Sorry about the spelling mistake of 'Whisky' (since the plural form of Scottish whisky would be whiskies) - the editing of this video was a lot of work and I only realised after the whole publishing process.

EN ROUTE TO SCOTLAND: AMAZING OUTLANDER FILMING LOCATIONS// Happy Tuesday, We just returned from the Scottish Highlands and oh wow, what an amazing time we had filming a lot of content that we think you will really enjoy!! Today we share our drive to the Scottish Highlands - our final destination was beautiful Braemar. Since it's a 6 hour drive, we decided to stop in between to explore 2 amazing villages that are famous because Outlander was filmed (and will still be filmed) there: Culross and Falkland in Fife! They are beautiful and small villages and really worth exploring. Just a short while ago, we watched 'A Castle for Christmas' with Brooke Shields that was also filmed in Culross (as so much more like Captain America). We hope you enjoy this video and stay tuned for a lot of Scotland content in the coming videos.
