JANE AUSTEN ROAD TRIP (PART 1)
JANE AUSTEN ROAD TRIP (PART 1)// Hello lovely people, We're so excited to walk in the shoes of Jane Austen today and share a little Jane Austen road trip in Hampshire with you. We visit places like Steventon where she was born and grew up. Her father was rector at St. Nicholas church and we were so lucky that the church was open! It's such a beautiful place!
After that we visited Deane where her father was rector at All Saints Church and where you will find Deane House, a beautiful country house where Jane visited often to see her friends, the Harwoods.
We will also share the tiny village of Ashe where the Austens became friends with the Lefroy family who moved into the rectory there. It was Madam Lefroy who inspired Jane to write.
The highlight is our visit to Chawton House where her brother Edward lived and where Jane would go whenever he was there. She lived at Chawton Cottage with her mother and sister Cassandra. Chawton Cottage was her final home and here she wrote 6 of her wonderful novels, the exquisite 'Pride & Prejudice' being one of them.
We hope you will like this video and we can't wait to go on a second Jane Austen road trip to film part 2. Have a lovely weekend. Kirsten & Joerg

What a peaceful and calming video. Not boring at all. Never get tired of seeing the historic churches and villages of England.
What is there not to love about you two! Kristen’s dimples, beautiful complexion and bright eyes and Joergs smile...kind, gentle words and mannerisms and seeing all these delightful places through your eyes! Thank y’all for sharing your gifts and blessings. Truly a wonderful treat I am enjoying
Tea break with Kirsten, Joerg and memories of Jane Austen...the day couldn't get any better. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks so much Debra!

Lovely vlog guys. Thank you for all your hard work & making our lives a little more beautiful by tuning in. 💕
Thank you so so much!
My goodness, when the church door actually opened, I got goosebumps. I do love Jane Austin. Thank you for bringing her back to us in such a loving and lovely way. You both are quite special. ❤️
Wherever you go, whatever you guys do I go along and love it!!!!🥰
Thank you so much!
I would love to take my mom on this trip. We are huge Jane Austen fans.
Thank you for the lovely and relaxing visit to Jane Austen country.
Your enthusiam for English history and for life and each other is always such an inspiration. Thank you for another wonderful video! Love from London x
Love this blog My sister fighting cancer , 5 kids a nightmare, but me and my husband love the blogs
Oh no, we are so very sorry :(
Sun is shining, birds are singing, beautiful churches and gorgeous countryside. Heaven! Love Joerges mini history lessons and Kirstens twirl in the garden. So cute!
Your videos are solace to the trying times we are facing, especially here in India. I look forward to your videos to calm down and get transported to a different world for those twenty odd minutes! Thank you!
Thank you Kirsten & Joerg; such a lovely village and beautiful church!🌞
'I hope it's not boring to film all the churches' No, it's not boring at all! Thank you for sharing the gorgeous video, Kirsten and Joerg. It's just perfect for travel bugs. ❤️
Super intéressant ....j adore l ambiance des romans de Jane Austen....👏
We are so glad, merci beaucoup Béatrice.
OMG Thank you so much for this treasure!! In particular, I was absolutely delighted with Jane's prayer in St Nicholas church, I have a strong faith and I am very fond of Jane Austen, so I will include that prayer in my daily prayers. THANK YOU marvelous couple! You can not imagine how you are helping me in many ways! God bless you!!!
PS Many years ago I possessed a lightweight white summer dress that I delighted in swirling, just as seen here. This brought back lovely summer memories. Young women who have never experienced such a dress can’t imagine the enjoyment such a thing can bring. Simple joys.
Thank you so very much for showing these special amazing places...I wouldn't have never known all these places existed...my heart skipped a beat when you opened the church door..❣..absolutely adore quiet places with only those precious birdies singing their heart out.💞🥰💝
I absolutely love seeing all of the churches; seeing where she lived and grew up and was inspired. That tea room courtyard that you had lunch at was absolutely beautiful🤩
So so happy you liked it Elizabeth, thank you! Yes, it was truly special.
Calme. Tranquillité. Beauté. Merci Christine et Georges.......
I have loved watching your videos since I found them last year. Thank you so much for helping me to get through this worst hard time!
Thank you so much Kris!
Another beautiful video..thanks so much..the old churches & graveyards that are so quaint as are the homes & gardens...afternoon tea/ lunch, with sandwiches and cakes , pretty crockery are so pleasant..a welcome change from the world of fast food & hurried pace....🙂
Thanks so much! Yes, we always appreciate some lovely china.
I love Jane Austen!! Lovely vlog...thank you xx
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this lovely video
Kirsten and Joerg, that was just glorious! I adored every church, every old gravestone covered in mosses and lichen, the villages and houses, the greenery and sheep and birdsong, and of course your delicious lunch/afternoon tea and your happy faces 🥰
I do love so much This dreamy trail..i had planned..to do it..This year...but with This horrible time..it is impossible but your information during This vidéo complete my projet...thanks from France...
Thanks so much!
Ohhhh,Jane Austen!!!! Gracias, gracias.adoro vuestros vídeos.😘😘😘😘😘😘
I've read all of Jane's novels and really loved your video. It makes her more real to me after seeing all the places associated with her. What a special treat! You two are amazing.
Beautiful!! I'm living my best English life through your wonderful adventures. Thank you for your taking me along on your journey.
Perfect video for a Friday evening! ❤️😍🤗
Thanks so much!
Thank you for this lovely video. I absolutely enjoyed it. Not only did I enjoy the beautiful English countryside but also the sound of the beautiful chirping of the birds, so different from the raucous sounds of our Australian parrots which inhabit our back yard. Not that I don't love our birds, I do.
Thank you so much for sharing with us! I enjoy all things Jane Austen!❤️
Yesterday, the KZhead algorithm recommended this video to me and ever since I've been binge-watching your videos from the last years. I just wanted to come back here and tell you how much I adore your channel. As a German who studied English Literature at university, it is just wonderful to see you explore the countryside, talk about the differences between cultures and give us viewers a glimpse into life as an ex-pat in the UK. Please keep up the good work! (And, hoping to not be rude: It's also really inspiring to see both of you pursuing your dreams even though society tends to make us believe that we have to have everything figured out in our Twenties.) You've definitely found yourself a long term viewer! Sending loads of love across the English Channel! Liz
Vielen lieben Dank, das ist total lieb! Ganz ganz liebe Grüße
Whatever you two film is always interesting and charming. 😊❤️
Thanks so much!
Thoroughly enjoyed your stroll through Jane Austin’s countryside. Thank you from Brisbane Australia.
Loved it can, t wait for part 2 Felicity Jacobs, Cape Town, South Africa
Thanks so much Felicity!
Nothing boring about it Kirsten, another lovely video taking us along to see that sights many of us will never experience. Beautiful countryside and the birds chirping away at the end was just marvelous. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much Susan!
Another amazing video; and I love seeing the churches. So beautiful.
What a lovely episode, I really enjoyed it. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, "to travel" from Los Angeles, CA. Best wishes :)
Every bit ,so lovely to see, a beautiful place for lunch also! Thank you so much.
I live two minutes away from the house where Jane Austen spent her final days, in Winchester. Sadly it's not open to the public, it's owned by Winchester College and used as a residence for staff, but it does have a plaque. I really hope you both come and visit the cathedral, it's lovely to see my neighbourhood through your eyes :) Living somewhere for a long time you forget how beautiful it is, I've been to all these villages or passed through them, but watching your videos really reminds me to appreciate my home county more :)
Yes, it would be lovely if the house would be open to the public. Yes, we visited Winchester and the cathedral 2 years ago and sadly didn't have time to visit last weekend.
Yet another fabulous video. Thank you both, so lucky the weather was in your favour and no other visitors. Loved Kirsten's twirl as well enjoy the rest of your trip
Thank you so much!!! Susan in Virginia, USA
What a Friday treat! I am such an Austen fan and loved tagging along with you guys. I LOVE old churches. Hardly a comparison but years ago when my kids were small I worked as a secretary at an Episcopal Church and I was obsessed with the beautiful old building, the gardens, the kneelers, the pipe organ, etc. I would wander through the graveyard (is that creepy?). How wonderful to be in such a historical church. I really needed this after a mandatory overtime work week. LOVED the skirt twirls! Thanks for sharing! Much love to you both! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Karen! Not creepy at all, we really like old graveyards and old churches too.
A million thanks. This video was such a beautiful trip into a time past. Makes me want to read a Jane Austin book. The villages look so tranquil, welcoming, relaxing. What a great period that time in our history was... the birds 🐦 chirping in the background is lovely ❤💙💚💛🧡❣💙
So glad you like it, thanks so much!
Thank you so much how beautiful love going with y’all
Inspiring, indeed! Thank you for an amazing tour. Stay safe. 👍😉🇨🇦
Thank you for such a wonderful video. I can understand the feeling you had of walking in Jane Austin's shoes because it came across so well. Definitely on my "to visit" list ❤
Loved seeing all the churches⛪beautiful English countryside and houses! The bird song in the background, sweet sounds of Spring!! I've been to Jane Austen's house, really worth the visit😊👏🌟
The Jane Austen videos have been a real treat...just absolutely lovely!! Thank- you for taking us on such an amazing tour! ❤
Sunday morning coffee and a Jane Austen tour. Best way to start a cozy autumn day. Blessings to you! ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed your video, looking forward to part two. Thanks xxx
The birds twittering gaily all around you added so much to the total ambiance. Thank you for taking us with you on this adventure. I love Jane Austen!
What a beautiful video. It looks so peaceful and idyllic there. I loved seeing the sheep enjoying the sun. Lots of clerics in Jane's family! Thank you 💗
Fabulous historical part 1. Can’t wait for part 2
Thank you! We still have to film part 2 and go on a road trip :)
I love traveling with you. You bring us to places many of us would never see. Your work is so appreciated. You do us a service and I am so greatful.
Your videos are enchantingly beautiful - the birds, the churches, the lawns and, especially, you two add the sweetest charm to it all -------- THANK YOU!
So beautiful loved the churches the countryside so lovely .love from Heidi in Australia Y
Hi guys. Hope you are well and having a pleasant evening. Thanks for the lovely video, I really enjoyed it. So lovely to chill out to with a ☕ and a 🍰... What a lovely part of England she lived in. Also, I hadn't realised how young Jane Austen was when she died. Looking forward to part 2 😊. TTFN Stella xx
Thanks so much Stella! Yes, she died at a young age, such a shame. Aww thank you, we have to go on another road trip for part 2 lol.
@@KirstenJoerg ahhh, I see, road trip number 2 .... I'll be watching when you do, you are by far my favourite KZhead channel xxx nighty night 👋
that was one of the best! love Jane,it was great to see where she walked.
This was such a joy to watch on Monday morning in the States. I love your wonderful guide through Jane Austen's villages. Made me think I was right there with you. So peaceful and lovely. Thank you for taking the time to show us your road trip and quaint cottage.
My heart feels so sad right now that I can't travel to England and see my family in Oxford . It's been 2 years since I've seen them . Sharing your love of Jane Austen and the beautiful countryside cheers me up tremendously . I especially loved those needlepoint kneelers in the church and that giant teapot . Thank you Kirsten and Joerg 🇨🇦 💕 🇬🇧
Your videos are like a best kept secret to be enjoyed,wonderful.Seeing the churches,in a lifetime we wouldn't have the time to visit..so appreciative of all the gentle effort you put in.Balm to the soul
Thanks so much!
I Loved it.
What a beautiful video. Such fairytale cottages. I loved the bird singing you out at the end, such a delightful finishing touch
Beautiful day for an adventure with you both! Thank you
Thank you for sharing your journeys. There is NOTHING boring about churches...love graveyards too! Such a relaxing time having tea with you 🙂
Thanks so much Diana! Yes, old church here in England are so special!
Ps, heavens the beautiful Bird song while you stood outside you holiday home This little bird is a reminder once more of the beautful earth an all her creatures.🙏
So beautiful there. Your so lucky to be there. Thanx for sharing. Your a lovely couple.😘
Thanks so much!
Thanks for a charming video. I love seeing whatever you choose to film. Those thatched houses are stunning.
C'est toujours un excellent moment de visionner vos vidéo ! Merci à vous deux pour tant de travail et également pour votre poésie. Love from France 🙋♀️💕🇫🇷
Lovely video. Thank you for taking us on the outing!
The frescos in the church are beautiful
So true!
Charming, as always! Thankyou! XXX
Thank you so much for sharing this... I love Jane Austen! This was a real treat for me to watch. I love her books and the movies as well.🥰❤️🤗
Wunderschön😊 ich hoffe ich kann England auch bald wieder besuchen. Danke für die Impressionen😄
Wir drücken ganz ganz fest die Daumen liebe Anita!
@@KirstenJoerg vielen Dank euch beiden😊
Thank you for sharing your Jane Austen Adventure, I enjoyed it very much..😊
Thank you so much Annie!
What a Vacation!
Thank you both for a lovely tour and tea. Jane Austen is a favorite author of mine. I enjoyed seeing the places dear to her.
What a lovley video so pretty and tranquill after a stressfull hour shopping trying to dodge people it was heaven to come home make a pot of tea and watch this . I feel very relaxed now thank you.and how lucky you were the weather was kind.take care.
Thanks so much Kathleen!
This was such a wonderful Friday night treat..so needed this! Lovely photography, perfect music. I once put together an UK literary tour guide for an English teacher in America at a school i was working in. And Jane Austen was on that list. thank you as always
Loved it all! I also love old churches!!!!🥰🥰🥰
I have lived in France for the last 33years . Although it is beautiful , it does lack the charm of the English country side with its churches ,manor houses ,tea rooms ,country lanes , green fields ,in fact l really miss all of it . With the restrictions of Covid-19 and at the age of 77 I’m not sure if l will ever see it again. So thank you for your wonderful vlogs they are so special. Many thanks from France 🇫🇷
France is very beautiful also & there's no doubt about this. It has it's own special charm & it's own unique beauty, which Great Britain does not have in the "exact same" manner. I remember being in Paris in the late 90's & the stunning architecture everywhere & perfect symmetry, the amount of romantic & pretty wee Cafe's was so wonderful. The city is "not" as haphazard as London architecturally. Paris, many beautiful bakeries abound, filled with great produce too. The bread & Eclairs, 2nd to none. The gorgeous Cafe's, they were everywhere & today, so many have been closed, or have been taken over by foreign business owners. Paris was one of the most incredible European cities, but these days, as awesome as it still is, it's lost a wee bit of it's amazing charm, although the amazing Parisian architecture will never lose it's appeal or beauty. Notre Dame Cathedral (prior to the catastrophic fire) & Sainte-Chapelle, totally jaw droppingly beautiful! Even with all it's crazy quirks, Paris is still very beautiful though. There are many lovely parks around & many lovely walks to be had, passing by countless amazing historic spots, all worthy of a photo snap. Even the doors around Paris are praise worthy & are great historic masterpieces. We just have to open our eyes & look carefully @ all the amazing details abound. Many knock France & Paris specifically & i always say, it's most probably bec of human jealousy. All the negative comments, it's not true. In fact, we were in London in 2018 & some parts of London these days, are still very dirty & it's unfort growing dirtier. Your country has so many natural attractions, the most stunning Chateaus, which the UK doesn't have. Britain has wonderful castles, but they're not all on the same level as France's very best Chateaus. Palace of Versailles is super incredible, both the palace & the entire manicured grounds. You have many incredible historic farm houses, beautiful countryside & you afford the insanely stunning alps. Great Britain does not have the Alps. You are comparing chalk & cheese really, bec both countries are beautiful in & of their own right. To compare is of no use, but we can say that both countries have their advantages/disadvantages. France to many, is one of their favourite countries & Paris, to this day, is still the world's most visited city. Unfort, bec of Covid-19, global travel has been seriously halted. If you are French, then you must be very proud of your country, as most, if not all French people are.
Oh & the Louvre Museum is totally awesome & can take days to see in full. I was exhausted walking around day after day, but it's all so worth it. Amazing historic oils on canvas & amazing works of art abound. Cheers & peace. :-)
One of my favourite things to do when I visited beautiful England was to walk from village to village, because you are so right...many of them are in walking distance. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you, this brought me much needed joy.💛💛
always good to see sheep about. small,local churches where folks hoped for help......
Not only did I like this video, I LOVED IT‼️ Thank you for doing such a great job 💓
WONDERFUL ..simply WONDERFUL ..my first road trip with you..feeling so happy😊💕🌈🌼🍄
That makes us so happy, that you!
@@KirstenJoerg 💕🇺🇸
Es maravilloso realmente hermoso !! beautiful !!
Sehr schön. Es ist ja immer spannend sich in diese Zeiten zu versetzen. Aber wir sehen natürlich meistens nur angenehmeren Seiten der damaligen Zeit.
Dankeschön! Auf jeden Fall, wir romantisieren natürlich, das ist klar. Aber Chawton House und Chawton Cottage sind wirklich sehr schön. Im Garten sitzen hat damals bestimmt schon Spaß gemacht.
Thank you for taking us on this wonderful tour
That telephone box! Such a lovely idea. I do love history and I love it when people reinvent ways to use historical things that are no longer required for their intended purpose rather than just discarding them. Your narrative is so gentle...such a delightful couple.
The telephone box is opposite the driveway of the house once owned by a client of mine. Quintains. It dates back to the 17thC.
OMG! I love Jane Austen! I traveled to Chawton in January, 2019. It was an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. You make my lockdown a few light... 😔🙏❤️🌟
Yay, so wonderful to hear Carla, thank you!
I love this part of England and Jane Austin’s house is not at all what a lot of people imagine , I love visiting historical places in the U.K., nation trust and English heritage have so many wonderful places to visit and now the weather is improving and the nights are pulling out, we are also making the most of visiting places like this , lovely video Hope you both have a wonderful weekend
So beautiful to see all these places! thank you guys, your videos are wonderful
Wow! This was a huge treat ❤ I can just get lost in your videos ...... they just take me away to those gorgeous locations. Also educational ..... of course presented by a absolutely beautiful couple !
That's so very kind, thank you!
Best couple ever❤️❤️🙏🏻
What a delightful video? She is my one of the favorite author in the world. I loved the detail about her families too. Her mother lived 87 years &casandra 72. That was amazing. Thank you kindly for doing this video about her.
What a beautiful spot. Jane Austen! Imagine! You're so fortunate to have that so close.
I am a jane Austen fan ,i love everything about her ,her novels etc
Thanks for this all things Jane Austen video. Learned so much and would love to see a return visit. The inside of the church was beautiful. Always happy to see sheep and not so many tourists😀Keep twirling and traveling.
Thanks so much!
