A beautiful good morning from a very windy Lyme Park. A beautiful good morning. Good
morning lovely people. And this is one of our favorite places in Cheshire. Oh yes it is yeah.
And also because this is Pemberley - in the 1995 adaptation of - Pride & Prejudice. Yeah. Yes! And
it's our go-to place here in Cheshire, not too far from us so this is a small Jane Austen road trip.
We film the house and the garden for you a little bit and we hope you enjoy it. And on top of that
we've prepared a little picnic as well. Yeah. So let's explore. Isn't the house just beautiful?
We always love it. But I'm only waiting for Mr Darcy to step out of the front gate.
There he is. I'm not Mr Darcy but I will do. You will. But for me you are Mr Darcy.
So can you show us around your gorgeous house? Oh yes, I'm pleased to do that. And
have your butler prepare some tea later okay? Ah yeah, I'll get it prepared. Thanks so much.
There's a building next to the big house and this is probably where the stables used to be.
And while I was filming away, I saw Joerg talking to a man and I asked him what did he say.
Can you repeat it because that's really interesting I think? No,
we talked about the old stables and how old they are. How old are they, also - they're from 1807.
So the building, like the big house, the stately home is from the
16th century. Yeah. And the stables from the from - beginning of the 19th. That's interesting.
And you said or he said that there is someone living in the stable building. Yes and also they
are permanent, say kind of residents in the house. Yeah. Just to, yeah, look, after the
house in the night time and when the alarms go off because, it's because, it has alarms.
Yeah. When the fire alarm would go off to to to, yeah - people who work for the National Trust.
Yes, they work for the National Trust. No, we didn't know that. No. So that's interesting.
And I was thinking, huh, to be alone in that big house at night
in the wintertime when the wind is blowing. I know. Yeah. And there's no,
no other house so. No. This is on the edge of the Peak District. Yeah. I don't
know. I would be a little bit scared. Yes. I think it must be strange. Yeah, definitely.
And what you see here is the so-called Cage. Used to be a hunting lodge. Yes. I always,
like, when you, when we drive here, when we drive through the entrance, you can see this
building and Joerg just said it reminds him of Scotland. Yeah, very much. Me too. I think it's
beautiful. Yeah and the views so it's a dramatic view. It is yeah. With all the clouds now.
So what we want to try first is
go inside of the house to film a little bit because it's actually quite beautiful.
So this is the so-called Reflection Lake,
the lake where Mr Darcy came out soaking wet. I'm sure you all remember. Want to take a bath Joerg,
in the Reflection Lake? No, although the water is not deep.
It might be a little bit too cold I think.
And it's not deep. It's not deep. No, it's not, is it actually not deep at all.
Years ago, they had a bust in the lake, I don't know, somewhere over here and yeah, a Mr Darcy
bust but sadly it's gone. We've been here so many times and unfortunately we've never seen it.
We just came out of the house, it always feels like home a little bit because I don't know,
I think it might be our fifth time, I'm not sure. And it was quite lovely as always. We were
the first ones, it opens at 11. So that's always a good idea. And now we're going
to have a look at the orangery because that's actually one of my favourite ones.
Joerg, smell this one because it's divine. Hmm, that's...
This one smells amazing. Yeah. Like a very fine perfume. I can't get enough of this scent.
And this is the best view to see the house. I
always think it looks like a painting with the lake.
I think if this spot was less windy it would be the perfect spot to have a picnic.
I think Jane Austen would approve. She would. I mean what's better than this view?
Joerg, what do you think? Jane Austen would approve - yes, she would - of
this spot. Bu we probably have to find another spot.
Hungry? Yeah. Me too. And tired. Really? Yeah, I could sleep now.
We can take a nap on our way, not on our way back, when we're home maybe. But let
me show you what I prepared yesterday afternoon. Let's see. I hope the sandwiches are still okay.
Some strawberries and
we have to unwrap the the sandwiches first. Let's see.
I think these are sausage rolls
and - sausage rolls - with apricots so they are a little bit different, dried apricots.
And there are also sandwiches in there Joerg. Yeah. Yes, these are yours cause they are just,
they are wheat sandwiches. And these are gluten free sandwiches, these two. And this should be,
so this is coronation chicken and yours here are cucumber sandwiches and we also have.
And this is an egg and watercress filling, very easy to make. And we will definitely film
another video where we share how to make these yummy tea sandwiches and the sausage rolls with
the dried apricots because it's honestly, it's so easy to make and very very good.
And we also brought some lemonade, Sicilian Lemonade which is very good.
Cheers.
This one is such a good lemonade I think. Yeah.
How do you like the sausage rolls? Excellent, really good. And the,
which sandwich did you try so far? I don't know. You don't know. Do you have a favourite?
Coronation chicken. Yeah. I think i really do like coronation chicken as well. Yeah. But I also
like cucumber because it's so simple and this one is a bit different, um, this sandwich has,
what has it got in it, yeah, the cream cheese has got
a, um, has mint, fresh mint in it. Oh yeah. And chives so that's really fresh i think.
So let me see - what's in here?
Oh yeah, this is cucumber. So this is the cucumber sandwich and these are all gluten
free sandwiches so I don't think i will eat them all. I think this one is the the egg watercress.
I don't think I can open it, you get an idea but this one is good as well.
I always struggle when it comes to my favourite. I like them all. I was going to say cheers.
It's very good especially because gluten free toast is usually so dry.
Now we had a nice day out. You didn't wait long enough
but it's fine. No. We did. We had a nice day out. Yes. Yeah you had a lovely idea.
I think you had the idea with a picnic. Yeah. I don't even remember. And I prepared everything.
And it was; loved doing it. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, hope you enjoyed it Joerg. I enjoyed it. Yeah. And
we were lucky with the weather. Yes. It's not too warm today but it's fine. It's okay. Yeah. It's,
I don't know, a lot British people would call it - a warm day - a warm day. I think so. Yeah. We saw
a lot of people in shorts. Yeah, as always. Well, we hope you liked the video and we'll see you
again very soon. Yeah, stay safe. Stay safe. And see you soon. Until next time. Bye. Bye. Bye bye.
