- A LONG WEEKEND IN THE LAKE DISTRICT: Our peaceful retreat in the English countryside// We are back today with a video from the beautiful Lake District. Our wonderful holiday cottage was located in Kentmere with walks just in front of the doorstep. We certainly made use of that and explored the area and went on 2 gorgeous hikes. We also visited Grasmere, home to the English poet William Wordsworth and also stopped in Ambleside - 2 places you should visit if you decide to go to the Lake District. We hope you like the video! Wishing you a lovely weekend. Kirsten & Joerg x

We all need a Joerg in our lives, bless him for having to hike twice to get that beautiful drone footage. What a good job he did. Making the fire and cooked the dinner. What a gentleman and what a lovely couple you are and a pleasure to watch. It ends too soon! After seeing Miss Potter the film of the life and times of Beatrix Potter I have wanted to visit Hilltop where she lived in the Lake District for a long time now. The scenery is so stunning. Thank you for sharing with us ❤
I know, I told him he shouldn't do it but he was so determined! He did such an amazing job, oh my!! Yes, the Lake District it truly magical.
I had one from Arkansas for almost 49 years - no one will ever love me as that man did and I thank God
Carole Horton ,
you have expressed every thought that was in my head , growing up Ireland 🇮🇪 sadly with regrets
I never did make to the Lake District
Makes me so sad today because my father went very often after he returned from the Middle East after the 2nd world 🌍 war
Going to the Lake District calmed his soul , an most important of all, Kirsten an Joerg so blessed to have this beautiful vlog
During the isolation period of the Pandemic , Kirsten an Joerg really calm my soul for sure .
Kirsten & Joerg wbas ugh
So. Beautiful
I enjoy my little vacation I take mentally while I watch the two of You enjoy your trips
Thanks so much!
@Kaye's Cottage Same here!!
Very well stated Kaye's Cottage. I feel the same way and couldn't have said it better. I so look forward to these vacations!
Kaye's Cottage, I feel the same. I go to Tokyo, Ireland, London . Thank God for these visual technology.
Beautiful Peaceful and cosy
I'm in London right now but I have to comment.
This video has such a level of purity...the food, the fireplace, the fish and chips. I hope you have had wonderful memories. ( Lots of love)
Thanks so much! Yes, such great memories!!
@@KirstenJoerg so happy for you couple!
So much fun ! Loved every single minute, one of your best - but I always say that ! If anybody wants to calm down from a hectic life, the best medicine in the world is watching Kirsten & Joerg. Thanks guys, see you next week !
That's so kind, thank you!!
That is the truth. They are so calm.
They make me smile immediately when I click on their vids.
I love your videos, your cooking, your conversations and comments, the scenery, the walks the places you stay at..... I love it all, thank for letting me come along. I need to watch your videos because they make me happy, the help me dream. You seem so peaceful and loving and I get to sit back and just absorb all that the both of you have to give. Thank you for your generous heart. May you both be well, may you be joyful.
That means so much Lucia, thank you!
Oh Joerg, so sorry you had to climb twice! Thank you for going above and beyond. The footage was amazing.
Thanks so much! Luckily Joerg really enjoyed it as the weather was quite nice.
I love you 2 love your videos..so sweet and interesting
You look nice without makeup as well, Kirsten!
Thank you!
Agreed!
I love how practically minded Joerg is. He reminds me of the German guy in that 60's movie 'The Flight of the Phoenix', who designes the airplane in the desert and gets the others to build it.
Joerg just said that he feels incredibly honoured, thank you!!
@@KirstenJoerg You're very welcome, I meant my comment. It's also funny to me that Joerg seems to be a much better driver than me on the UK roads. I'm British, I've lived in England all my life and I still get lost when I'm out of my local area, and yet Joerg seems to find the best tourist spots all around the country without any trouble. He'll have to give me some tips. Lol
Love the Lake District, have spent a lot of time walking there, Windermere and Kendal, looks so lovely hope you are both keeping well , my husband and I have been together almost 40 years and love him more than ever, sadly he was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma in 2014, but making the most of everyday, your videos lift me up so much ❤ 🤍 💙
We are so terribly sorry and hope the videos provide a bit of a distraction, it's so important. All the very best!
chellyw63 - such wonderful love is immeasurable! I wish the best for you and your husband!
Greetings from Canada. UK Lake district is beautiful, thanks to Beatrix Potter.
Eu e minha filha amamos a obra da Senhora Potter. A literatura inglesa é espetacular. A vida e a obra de Beatrix Potter é imensurável!!!❤ Tudo que ela fez para proteger Hill Top❤
Absolutely lovely! You two are so adorable!!!
Thank you so much Laura!
The drone shows us so much more of the countryside from the air. Well done Joerg on doing a fantastic job. The Lake District has the most amazing scenery and all those quaint little cottages. I would love to have a home there.
Thank you so much Sophie! Yes, that's why we wanted to get a drone so that when we are in the countryside and nature, we can share more with you guys. The Lake District is the most amazing place!
As always i love your videos 💚 i love your love for each other ❤ very nice places 👍nature 🌳🌼 congratulations joerg you did it very good with the drone 🚁 nadia
Thank you so much!
Everything is so cozy and relaxing, it helps so much at the end of the day. Also the drone job is spectacular! Thanks for sharing all of this with us. Xoxo
Thank you so much!
I'm from Russia. I always watch your video with great pleasure! 😍👍Thank you!
Thanks so much!
You both looked so relaxed and refreshed after your first night there! FINALLY-back to really traveling! When you walk through the beautiful fields and up the trails, I feel myself ambling along. It is EVERYTHING, and so much more than my imagination can conceive 🙏😌😃
Thank you so much Janice!
Fantastic drone filming and beautiful Lake District I remembered when I have been you need to dress for all weather's there because it changes so quickly thank you for the lovely vlog xx
Thanks so much!
Beautifully filmed thank you Kirsten and Joerg. The drone footage is breath taking!
I am watching a second time it is a rainy day here in the Mountains 🏔 of New Hampshire in the USA 🇺🇸
Lovely vlog, the drone added even more interest. The cottage and area are beautiful, you should claim a fee for advertising for the cottage owner and the tourist board! Your vlog skills have reached a higher level. XXX
Thank you so much! Aww it's fine, it's nice that we can share a nice cottage and wholeheartedly recommend it without having to do it if that makes sense.
You already make beautiful, landscape loving videos, that drone kicks it way up! Amazing!! What a lovely weekend😊🌷
Thank you so much for taking us along💕
Thank you so so much! We think the Lake District must be seen from the air, it's so incredibly beautiful! Have a lovely weekend as well.
The Lake District is my favorite part of England. We can thank Beatrix Potter for buying up farms to help preserve the beautiful landscape. 💜🌈
Any so-called imperfections make viewing even better. So real, like my husband and I. Love and companionship is such a gift. ❤
Amazing video such lovely views, glad joerg managed to get his fish and chips, now i'm really hungry watching this !
Thanks so much Michael!
First! Yay! I love watching you guys and all the surroundings. And the drone really works! Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much, that's so kind!
Great video and we enjoyed the drone too ! Many thanks to you both for taking us with you on your trip 😊
I lived in Pennington for 2 years. It is 20 minutes from the Lake District. It is a beautiful place. I am back in the states now and so happy I found your channel. I do miss that wonderful way of life. Hope to visit when the virus is under control. Thanks.
Thanks so much! A beautiful place indeed, hope you can return.
The English countryside looks so dreamy. What a beautiful landscape!
Yes, the Lake District is so incredibly stunning.
Liebe Kirsten, Du hast den weltschönsten Bommel am Kopf❣️😁👌
Your channel is a haven of peace in a frantic world. Thanks!
Thank you so much Lynn!
We've watched several of your videos & this is one charming. We have stayed in Grasmere many times & donated to have our names on a paving stone in the church yard. Thank you for sharing. B & K 😎😎
Thank you for transporting me once again to a beautiful place with great company.
You are so welcome!
Beautiful as always!
And as predicted... The drone footage took your already beautiful videos to another level... The area looks fantastic!
So sorry that you didn't get to the reservoir... Hope it didn't spoil your day.
But it looked like a cosy short break...and eating what you have is "true life"..
Enjoy your weekend :)
Thank you Rebecca! Hahah, we actually went to the reservoir the next day, it's in the video?
❤ Thankyou guys for this lovely video , I was lucky to live close to the lake district for 40 years, now living in Australia so it's amazing to see your videos of the lake district.
You are wonderful, every time watching your videos I feel so happy, so thank you very much.
Thanks so much!
Beatrix Potter loved this place so much, stunning views! you both look so healthy & radiant from all that natural good clean air! x
The footage with the drone was beautiful.joerg did a good job.The area and the cottage was such a romantic place to stay .Thank you for another wonderful video and have a wonderful evening.
Thanks so much Dovie! Yes, we didn't expect it to be that lovely, the location was just perfect. Have a nice weekend.
Such a delightful video 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 would rather watch Kirsten & Joerg on CZcams than watching the BBC news.
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures around UK 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 God bless you both.
That's so so kind, thank you!!
Really tickled me when jorg started speaking German and kirsten laughed and told him to speak English 😂 don't know why... I think it's the way kirsten was laughing
You know, what we are experiencing now in the US, such stress and things are so surreal....today I happened upon your visit to the Lakes District...someplace I want to visit someday....Grasmere gingerbread, Dove Cottage and dare I say Hilltop Farm? What a lovely get away and cottage you are staying in....I think I'd never leave....and I love that you cooked what you had, not running to the shops....so thank you for the lovely escape to a beautiful part of the UK....thank you for sharing this time with all of us.....
Yes, you just said the right word, it's surreal and we hope we could bring a bit of a distraction from the craziness. Thank you so very much for your lovely comment and watching.
hank you Kirsten & Joerg! Your videos are always so beautiful & relaxing. Gorgeous area and the cottage was so cute.🌞
Thanks so much! Yes, it's a lovely cottage.
Oh,forgot to tell Joerg he is awesome with the drone.Great pictures of a beautiful area.
Oh how exquisite. Thanks for the great video, I love the footage from the drone. Thank you for taking me back to a place and time I treasure. 💙❤😍😍😍😍

Looks so beautiful there and excited to see what you get up to in the next video 🥰🥰
Thank you so much Sarah, it really is beautiful there. Yes, we couldn't share more as we didn't know how it would turn out lol but we think it will be great to share.
My Goodness! Stunning drone shots! Well Done!
Thanks so much!
Makes me yearn to be back in the UK.
What a wonderful tool the drone is! The video it takes is glorious!
Thanks so much Carole!
I found your channel a few days ago and would like to say thankyou. I struggle with depression and anxiety and am finding your videos help to lift my mood and feel more positive. Beautiful videos and beautiful couple xx
That's so wonderful to hear, thank you so so much!
Wonderful drone shot! Thank you Joerg for going back to get them! Everything was lovely as always! I’m vegan but every time you guys eat fish and chips it makes me want to have some!! Can’t wait for the next video!! Love from Tennessee! ♥️
Thanks so much Patricia!
Oh my goodness! The footage is gorgeous...of everything. And Crasmere...so quaint, so lovely. Thank you so much for sharing. When you love road trips and can't really get out too much these days, these videos do a heart well. God bless you both...cheers for now. xo

What a wonderful place to go hiking..beautiful..I love the old cemetaries...💗👍
Yes, the most stunning area for hikes!
I was hoping to spend three months in England to see a lot of the country. Now, I’m thinking at least a year; every place you show is more beautiful than the last!
Thank you so much Kirsten and Joerg ,the video was amazing .Beautiful scenery ,lovely cottage .had to have a smile Kirsten when you had to hold on too your hat in the wind 🙂watching your video again 👍thanks again Kirsten and Joerg 🌻🌻⭐
Thanks so much Mary! I know, it would have blown away, it was crazy windy.

A little bit windy😀. Love travelling with you across the country.
Delightful video of your trip! I really appreciate seeing the beautiful countryside of England. It is somewhere I have always longed to see! The places you stay are so nice and I love the tours of the rooms and the places you stop to eat. Thank you Kirsten and Joerg.
Thanks so much!
Hi sweethearts, hope your both well. U are a pretty lady kirsten without make up. Hope the car is OK and you've managed to get it sorted. Lovely cottage. Oh my Joerg can make a great fire and your evening meal looked lovely. Was the wind better on the second day of hiking. Wow it was windy to blow your hat off. Hehe. Peter rabbit shop looks great. Ooh I love gingerbread. Great drone footage a lovely video guys, thanks for sharing xxx much love Lisa xx ❤️ 😘
Thanks so much! Oh, we didn't have problems with the car though? Yes, the wind was a lot better the next day, thank God. Have a nice weekend.
@@KirstenJoerg oh sorry I must of heard jeorg wrong. But I do have tinnitus so I beg your pardon. I watched the video again and Joerg said there was a problem with the drone card not car so sorry. Haha xx ❤️ I did hear the bit about a couple snogging though hahaha xx
I’ve got a Mrs Patmore bowl 😂😂 It was a wedding present of my grandmas. I still use it and considering my dad will be 90 next year that’s pretty good going ! 😂
Lovely video. Thankyou
That's amazing and so special!
I adore Kristen's hair in this raspberry color. It's so beautiful and perfectly compliments her clothes and skin tone.
Can’t wait 💕🌸🌿
👍👍
I went there last week and shoot some videos, too

Thanks
Lovely, I really enjoyed the vlog. You made me laugh when you were talking about the lamp not having a bulb, its so nice when you speak German especially when you are making fun ❤️
Thanks so much! Hahah I still can't get over the fact that there was no bulb, I must have been hallucinating.
haha!
"Joerg! Speak English!" says Kirsten fondly. By the way, I love hearing you both speak in your native tongue. And really, you neither have to speak, your actions speak lovely volumes of generosity, kindness, warmth, high energy and spirit and that is the best language of all!
Wow the Lake District is certainly beautiful.
Puts me in mind of Pride and Prejudice when Elizabeth (1995) went with her aunt an Uncle to visit the area
The drone is fantastic you can see so much more
Fish and chips nothing like it we have that quite often nothing like eating it from the package I do that even if we are home lol
Brings back lots of memories when as a child Father would buy for us
Those little villages are just lovely I have always wanted a stone house they are so charming
Thank you guys just love going along with you in your travels
Cheers🇦🇺🌺
Thanks so much! Yes, absolutely love Pride & Prejudice, Elizabeth visits the Peak District which is another area but also very very beautiful.
💖💖😊Einfach wunderschön...ich liebe Euere Filme und freue mich immer wieder darüber! DANKE!!!🙋♀️💐
Das ist so lieb, dankeschön liebe Petra!
@@KirstenJoerg 💖
Real life is what I like...we your appreciative viewers , love the great effort you go to in presenting your life in such a peaceful beautiful way.

How lovely to see you've visited! Hope you enjoyed your visit 💕. Next time you should visit my home town of Keswick 😊
Thanks so much Nic! Yes, we ran out of time and had so much to do, it's good that it's not that far for us.
Wow look so beautiful and green here in California we are suffering from really bad fires. I’m so glad got to watch this so beautiful
Yes, the fires in Cali are so bad, we are so sorry and hope you are okay. Do take care.
Kirsten, you are very beautiful without makeup :) You look natural and younger. You are a very beautiful couple. It's very nice to look at you)
As an ex-pat from East Leake in Nottinghamshire- I love your vlog. Takes me back in time and to many places I have not been. Love the cross cultural perspective with quintessential best of British. Love your day trips and antiques. From Lisa,Ontario, Canada
Oh what a lovely video. You had lots of sunshine. I loved seeing all the beautiful stacked stone buildings and fences. You are showing me places I’ve never been to even after living there for two years. I so appreciate it. 😍😍
Thank you so so much! Yes, we were so lucky with the weather, incredible.
Hi guys,great to see you both,french toast is just another posh word for eggy 🍞 bread,I think!?
❤️❤️.
STAY SAFE.xx.p.s, I rememberd using my tiny nans rocking chair,well it's from Germany,an heirloom,from my grandad who is 🇩🇪GERMAN.🙏GOD BLESS.
You guys give me so much life..I always watch with a smile on my face.EVERYTIME
👍👍
I went there last week and shoot some videos, too

Thanks
Thank you, I loved this video ...so beautiful ... I was in the Lake District about 17 years ago (from USA) and went to Wordsworth's home.💙
Thanks so much Sharon! So happy to hear you visited the Lake District.
I wanted to reach through the screen and snatch some of your fish and chips haha. But I would be adding a lot of malt vinegar though. A few years ago, I was invited to a meet and greet of English expats living here in Tuscany. It was the best fish and chips I have ever eaten, and I grew up in England. Then the cook came out to make sure we were all happy, and he was Italian! Haha. Italians can cook anything well.
Awww hahah that sounds just lovely!!!
What beautiful filming, I almost felt I was with you. The views are stunning. I hope to see that myself some day. Thank you for this, spectacular.
So so happy you like it, thank you so much! The Lake District is so beautiful, hope you can visit one day.
Oh, I did not want this video to end. Eventhough I love your red lipstick, you look so lovely au naturale, Kirsten! Joerg was so funny mumbling in German
and you suggested he speak English on our behalf! 🤣 The drone is perfection and has added a whole new dimension to your vlogs! We traveled through that area in the train, but alas, we could not stop due to a strict itinerary. As we needed to eventually return to the states, it nearly did me in. Thanks so much for sharing all the beautiful vistas and villages that we missed seeing. You guys rock!
OMG your love is so beautiful! You are a modern day love story! French Toast looks amazing! Magnificent views! Hugs xoxoxo
A beautiful creation
Thank you!
Amazingly beautiful place! Love all the stone buildings & landscapes. Great drone footage. I can’t wait to see more of it!
Thanks so much Susie!
The Lake District is a truly beautiful place to stay. I too visited the Lake District near Windemere. Grasmere is gorgeous to. That cottage where you stayed was so idyllic. Thank you for sharing the experience.
This is why I love your videos, you show real life, and life is not perfect!!
This has become my favorite channel! I really look forward to your videos. The places you go are fabulous. The drone footage takes my breath away. At one point I had tears in my eyes imaging how beautiful it all is! I think I will go and quarantine there!! Haha, in my dreams, I guess. Bless you both.
That means so so much, thank YOU! The Lake District is a magical place.
The Lake District is so breathtaking, Joergs drone footage is amazing. Thank you for your lovely relaxing videos, you are both such a lovely couple to watch👍🙂
Thank you so much Gillian!
👍👍
I went there last week and shoot some videos, too

I love that you show real life! And you look beautiful without makeup. I love your videos so much!
Thanks so much!
Dear Kristen & Joerg, thank you for taking me back to the Lake District. I spent a wonderful week there 3 years ago and was so captivated by the beauty and serenity. I will probably never have the opportunity to see it again as I live in Australia, so it was delightful to see it again through your eyes. I really enjoy your videos, what sets them apart is your beautiful souls. Take care.
Thanks so much Anne! So happy to hear you got the chance to visit the Lake District, it's such a special place.
How lovely and you have the drone going. How beautiful it is there ...I need to move ...you could almost fly back the wind is so strong. Lol
The cottage is simple but stunning..that's all one would need. Dinner looks deish!. I love the open countryside ..what a great little getaway.
Thank you so much! Oh the area is so breathtaking, you are in the middle of the loveliest countryside and it's beautiful.
@@KirstenJoerg ❤
It doesn’t get any sweeter! You’re styling beautifully, and I’m in love with your accommodations and the area. I am overwhelmed with how hard you both work to provide these videos and they are wonderful! The drone footage is absolutely rich and stunning! Thank you so much.🍁
Thank you so much, really happy you enjoyed it.
Wow, what a beautiful area. Good job with the drone - simply stunning views! Beautiful fall weather here in Canada with the changing leaves! Good thing Joerg has a good memory for directions like my husband. I have absolutely no sense of direction!
Thanks so much! We were so lucky with the weather, this weekend it's just rain, rain, rain. Yes, we are both quite good with directions so that's great hahah.
Oh how beautiful those villages are. Love watching. Would love to seeing all those lovely places myself.
