Hi everyone!
Hello!
Today we want to invite you to spend a perfect summer day in England with us.
And as you can see it's sunny and glorious so we just want to share our favourite things
to do.
Let's start with a stunning Country House in the English Countryside.
This is Uppark House and Garden in West Sussex.
It's from the 17th century and has a lovely intimate garden and woodland.
Unfortunately we couldn't film inside of the house but we filmed the servants quarters.
Yeah but I can tell you it's just amazing.
It is.
Yeah.
It's Georgian style and we must say we didn't expect it to be that beautiful inside.
Yes, the pictures and the decoration.
Everything.
So if you're in the area here make sure to visit because it's really worth it.
Well, this is number one of our favourite things to do in summer.
Also, well, in winter National Trust properties are usually closed so it's definitely a favourite
in summer time.
We're now at Stansted Park farm shop because we want to do a small picnic and we'll be
shopping for some drinks and food.
Sea salt and vinegar.
That's slightly salted.
This one.
Yes.
And we found a lovely picnic spot here.
And this is Staunton Country Park.
And this is what we bought from the farm shop.
Fresh strawberries
that we will enjoy with clotted cream.
This is for Jörg, Stansted Focaccia.
Cheese.
Fresh cheese, regional cheese.
Well, this one from Sussex and this is actually from Cornwall.
Gouda.
Some nuts.
These are some gluten-free biscuits for cheese.
Crisps.
And we also have lemonade.
Of course.
And I think, I think we forgot to film this.
Snackalami.
Do you want to take a nap?
Oh yes.
The picnic was perfect.
Yes, it was amazing.
The strawberries were just amazing.
They were they were so good.
And the strawberries were regional so from Hampshire.
And we said they reminded us of our childhood because I don't know about you but nowadays
sometimes you get strawberries that are really watery but these ones were sweet, full of
flavour and just perfect.
What we really enjoy inEngland particularly in summer is discovering small villages and
churches.
There are so many picturesque churches and the churchyards are most of the time are very
very old.
And this here is St Trinity Church in Blendworth which we stumbled upon by accident.
And it's time for dinner now.
And we're going to pub here in Portsmouth.
For those wondering why we are in Portsmouth.
We're spending three nights here to explore the area.
Yeah and we're enjoying it very much.
Yes.
And do you remember what the pub is called?
Spice Island I think.
Yes, yes, it's called Spice Island.
We booked a table there so - now, let's see if the food is very spicy.
We must admit we didn't really check the menu so yeah, we're going to have a look there.
Yeah but I'm expecting normal pub feed.
Me too.
Mac and cheese.
Chicken with chips.
I don't know if you can see but Jörg is all red because well, you drank um, cider so - yeah
too much cider.
Oh look, there's another ferry.
Is that the passenger ferry?
Yes.
You know what?
We will, we will film that first.
So this is a passenger ferry coming from the Isle of Wight.
So how did you like the pub?
It was okay.
Yeah.
We would, if we would have to rate it, it would be average but the view is wonderful.
Yes.
The view towards the sea is is great.
And we hope you liked our video.
And our day out.
Yes.
How to enjoy summer in England which at the moment summer here is glorious so - yeah,
not the usual English weather.
Since we're German, so many people in Germany keep saying it's always raining - yeah - and
we we just keep making fun of it because it's been so hot - yeah - and we always say the
weather is so bad and it's not.
No, we're missing the rain now.
I think we need rain.
Yeah.
The grass is very very dry so yeah.
There will be rain coming I'm sure.
Yeah.
So we'll see you again very soon and thank you so much for watching.
So until next time.
Bye.
Bye bye.
