I apologize for my English, I am an Italian painter ( Giuliano Piancastelli ) and I have always loved the United Kingdom. Watching your videos is a real gift. I love all the places you visit. Certainly in a previous life of mine I was English, because England is always in my heart, so much so that I transformed my house into a Victorian mansion. With your videos you make me dream...thank you! You are two beautiful souls!
Oh, absolutely stunning. I feel like I've gone on holiday. Thank you Kirsten and Joerg.

What a lovely visit we've had today. I've heard tale of the Cotswolds. It is every bit as charming as I had imagined. What a treat to view the home of William Morris and see his own prints incorporated in fabrics, furnishings and wallpaper. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
Kirsten's genuine excitement is adorable 😊 Joerg is like the technology guru with a great sense of comedic timing 😀 I throughly so much enjoyed this William Morris tour and the history lesson ❤

Kirsten i know this house very well i helped my father put a knew stone tile roof on it in 1978 with the company we both worked for we also re tiled many of the cottages in the village we did a lot work for the national Trust as we specialised in cotswold stone roofing we also did a lot of the churches around the cotswolds it still makes me feel very proud to haved worked on these lovely buildings with such a good crafts man as my father and they are still as good as knew now 40 years later, best wishes roy, from the village of quenington in gloucestershire .
Ok so now I'm in love with all things William Morris!
It was much joy seeing some of Morris' works! I like his art and bought myself a tray designed by him - in the gift shop of Hever Castle. Some of the places you visit won' t have looked much different 100 + years ago. Thank you so much. 😊

Oh my, another wonderful adventure! I love William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti! I am amazed at how perfectly their work complemented each other. The trustees did an amazing job bringing that home to life. I did notice that when you were in the bright attic that there were no curtains on any of the windows; the maid was not expected to sleep in.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful visit. There is so much to the story of Morris, his wife, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. What a beautiful place.
Oh my! I'd be in heaven. Just love William Morris design. I wish I was in the UK to go on adventures with you both! I'm so jealous of all your beautiful trips to manor homes and country estates. Just love all the beauty and history. If you're ever in Tennessee USA, I'd love to show you around the Great Smoky Mountains.
Kirsten, I'm with you. I adore the William Morris prints, fabrics, wallpaper and all of his creations. I would love to do my whole home with his designs!!😊

Oh Kirsten and Joerg, We just arrived home and found your Kelmscott Manor post. I am transported to our trip in 2011. This village was our first stop on our way from Heathrow. We had dropped our bags at our lodging and were looking for dinner. We stumbled upon the pub, called The Plough at Kelmscott. The food was very good and we waited first at those tables in the front garden. People talked with us and when they asked where we were staying we said Rowlease cottage , one man said "oh my Mother grew up there." When we had pulled into the property, a farm on a larger estate (can't recall its' name) a fox stuck its' head out of the trees surrounding the car park as if to greet us. A pheasant always trotted across the front garden. The drive was really bumpy but we made it in and out past a cricket pitch used by the community. Was right out of Midsomer Murders. Can you believe I never made it back to the Kelmscott Manor. We spent alot of time looking for meals and getting lost driving ourselves around the region. I am so grateful for your visit because I always feel like I have been there with you because I think you and Joerg always notice and show just what we would be interested in. We did spend one day in Burford and I loved all the shops. I still wanted a red pair of shoes I saw and I loved the china animals and other crafts. There is one wonderful place for tea that we missed and I'm trying to remember what their specialty was. I have heard about it in vlogs since then. We went on from there and finally reached Blenheim after they closed but the guards took pity on us and let us roam around the grounds as there was a wedding taking place inside and so there were many wedding guest in the grounds, no one noticed us. Kirsten there is a company here in the states called Ruggables. They now have a line out based on William Morris designs. The rugs come with a pad and you can remove the rug and even wash it. Not sure how well this works but I am investigating for our new home in North Carolina which is loosely in the Craftsman style. I have my eye on the Strawberry Thief in the blue and green version for our entryway. I had more to share but again thank you for sharing your visit, I had so much fun watching and remembering our time there.

Watching all your videos, I was so used to all these elaborately decorated houses, hotels and restaurants featuring W. Morris art that I find this simplicity in interior design quite refreshing. These items are beautiful in itself, and they really stand out more, when they are not, how should I say, cluttered (is that the right word?) with so many different materials, fabrics and textures. And, Cotswold is always so gorgeous, you don't need any excuse to visit it. Thank you, again for taking us along. 🤗
