Life is what you make it. you don't need a big house to be happy or lots of money.

Dear Nicolas, you’re my favorite KZfaqr, your calmness and serenity and these peaceful videos are working to calm me down more than anything. I really like how peaceful you are and I’m very happy that your channel is becoming more successful! I’m so happy when I see you get to visit beautiful hotels for free and it’s so cute you’ve never had a facial. you’re so precious! 😢 looking at your skin I would have thought you get facials regularly 😮 I’m soooo happy for your channel and that your so honest with us ❤ this channel is my calm place and I get a really calm and cozy feeling listening to you!

Hello Nicolas, Happy New Year! You are breath of fresh air. Love your simplicity, free of snobbery and down to earth approach. Such a joy.

We missed you, Nicolas. Glad you got to spend the holidays with your family. Great sweater. Hope 2023 brings you a lot of joy and happiness.

Welcome home, wherever you go, your fans and friends will follow! Joyous New Year to you! ❤️👍

I love Jamie Oliver too he’s done so much good in UK improving school dinners etc and teaching unemployed people to cook

Such a lovely, peaceful video. What a beautiful hotel, the flowers on the tables were so pretty.I’m so glad Sophie could come. I am a fan of Jamie Oliver’s cooking, what a thoughtful gift he sent to you. I think your outlook for 2023 is an excellent one. Last Christmas I lost my mother. It has been a difficult year. So this year I have set no resolutions or goals, I chose a word instead. Pause. I am going to surround myself with those people and things I love . Creativity , simplicity, and beauty and of course family. Positive thoughts for 2023 ! Nicholas thank you.

Thank you Nicolas welcome back to your place . You are so sweet and appreciated. I really appreciate your friendship and your time with me. I have been praying you. Thank God for His Holy Son. I'm glad to see you learn more of cooking. This year will be special for me and trying to do my best with my friend and family. Always classic and informative Nicolas your music songs brings peace and joy to me. I needed to see you again. Take care Nicolas love xx 💕💕💕.

I came across you by accident but your videos are really great. After a stressful day at uni, it helps me relax before I sleep. I wish you all the best for 2023 my dear.

Nicolas, thank you for another enjoyable video. You are so engaging and welcoming with your audience. You bring peace and joy to your audience. Your voice and selection of music is very relaxing. Your final message is inspiring. With so much change and uncertainty in the world, you inspire others to embrace uncertainty, challenges, and new beginnings. Your optimism will have positive influences on others. May God continue to bless you with many good things in 2023. All the best from New York, Robert

Everyone, please hit the LIKE button ! -That way the algorithm will make sure to recommend the Video and channel for others to enjoy !! Thank you (share the video with a good friend)

Thank you for bringing peace into my life. Happy 2023. I love you Nicolas.

How nice to see you back again. As you were taking down the Christmas tree, I was thinking how nice that you decided on the wall art of Edinburgh. It was the perfect choice. And if you do decide to move, please give us some walking tours of Edingburgh before you go. I hope you stay. I think it's a beautiful city. I loved the National Art Gallery especially. And at 84 (soon 85), I still have tons of goals every new year. I never finish them (and never expect to), but I do so much more than if I just had a few which I could easily accomplish. Looking forward to seeing your 2023 successes.

The beginning of this video is so relaxing. The cinematography is excellent. Happy New Year, Nic!

I think, what is most beautiful is, you are always so kind, always putting a positive spin on your life. I never realized how lately I’ve become so weary of snarky, snipey vids and sometimes recoil a bit before I open them. Yours, as others say often, create so much love and gentleness

Well since you are taking down your Christmas decor, I guess I have to now. Bugger. The hotel was beautiful. Happy, Healthy New Year 2023. Ms. B. Churchill (USA)

Happy New Year Nicholas. I’m glad you’re back on YT. You were definitely missed. I hope that 2023 brings you peace, prosperity and happiness.

Lovely to see you back Nicolas!! - there is something so peaceful & serene about watching you cleaning!! - funny - I don't feel that way when I am doing my cleaning haha!! - I am so glad you like Jamie Oliver - my Son loves Jamie's recipes too - it is so nice to see you again - your skin looks so beautiful - the break must have done you the world of good - much love.

As beautiful as Christmas is, it's always nice when it's all put away and the house feels like it takes a deep cleansing breath. Hope you and Sophie have a happy 2023!!!!

Welcome back Nicholas 🎉. Glad your holidays went well. Lovely scenery and I adore your jumper ! It’s a little different from usual and you look smashing in it. ❤

Welcome back! We missed you. Glad you had a wonderful holiday. Happy New Year.

Welcome back Nicolas. I enjoyed the cinematography at the beginning of the video. 2023 for me, I am looking for new endeavors and hope to finish another book. Thank you for your peaceful and positive outlook you bring to the world in your videos. ❤️

I'm in the same thinking as you. To be or not to be, stay or leave .....I decided to to stay calm (at least I try) and go with the flow. Nobody knows what fate has prepared. Wish you and all of us a healthy and successful 2023.

Nice to have you back, Nicholas. 2023 has me moving into a new home at the end of January, revisiting an old career and rescheduling a rail-trip through England and Scotland my husband and I planned back in 2020. This year is a rebirth.

I'm so glad you had a chance to spend all that time with family. I'm sure it will be a very fond memory for all of you. Wishing you a happy new year hoping all your wishes come true. 🌟

i was about to say wow the tree held up well when i remembered it was artificial! great tree, it looked beautiful. tip for candle storage: wrap in plastic wrap individually, and store together in a zip top plastic bag. you can turn them to opposite ends and wrap snugly so they keep their shape during hotter months. darker colors can bleed color onto the drawer lining, so always wrap to store, even if you have a box.

Good to see you back. I’m glad you and Sophie had a pleasant stay in London. You’ve got me intrigued about Jamie Oliver’s new cookbook. Most recipes seem to serve 4-6 and when you live alone that isn’t ideal. You end up getting tired of eating the same thing for several days, it goes bad or you have to freeze it. Your current home is so lovely. Everything has its special place. I’m sure you’ll make the right decision whether to stay or go.

Welcome back. Great sweater!!

Welcome home, Nicholas. I didn't realize how much I had missed you until I saw the video up lol. It's lovely to see you and hear your gentle voice again. I'm so glad you were able to spend so much time with your family and that you're all feeling much better. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Nicolas! Thanks for sharing so much fun & beauty with us last year! I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do design mindful intentions and prayers, as I know that my source in life all comes from God who is my Heavenly Father and He loves me and blesses me so much. I've had a most excellent year in 2022, and I have thanked God deeply because He never stops blessing me, and I have decided to give Him all of my fears and doubts. I have big new dreams & goals, and this year's intention is to go forth with courage and boldness, even if I am scared of my dreams since they are quite big...they are mine, and I can do it because God put those hopes and dreams in my heart. I'm going for it! 2023 is my best year yet ~ Thanks and praise be to God! ❤

Taking down Xmas decor and cleaning everything is always a chore. I always miss all the beautiful color, lights and greenery but am happy to start the New Year. Welcome home and a wonderful start to your New Year.

Interesting to hear you talk about Moving. My husband is from Bristol and so I moved to be with him and have lived in the city for 23 years. We have decided that this is the year we take the plunge and move to Shropshire where my family live. We are busy preparing to put our house on the market. We haven't decided yet on the area we will move to, but it's very exciting if not a little scary. Do what makes you feel happy while you can 🧡

Dear Nicolas I'm so glad you had a great moments with your close family the same as I and my family, I went back to work so happy to see my little elementary students and my co-workers and of course so happy for a New year hearing and learning many interesting and specials novelties from you. Receive my best regards for a New year to full of good surprises and blessings. From México to Edimburg my respect and love to you my special and lovely friend 🥰🤗😘

I love this expectation /no expectations and maybe attitude. I do like to go back home after vacations, you could live anywhere, but as you mentioned, since transportation are not reliable, I don't think the country side is the ideal for your lifestyle. You can always visit the country side, because rainy days are extremely long when you live by your own in the middle of nowhere

Thank you Nicolas for your nice and simple video. I wish you and your family and friends, my best for this New Year 2023 and you are right to stay positive. As regards myself I will be retired this summer with my husband, hoping it will be near a Loire château but we don t exactly know where we will find a new home to live but it will be a surprise, we have many places we like. We would like to live in the country to be peaceful but with some transports, bus or railways and not to far cultural points at the same time. A lot of perspective ! Good luck for all your projects too. Amitiés

P.S. I ordered 3 of Jamie’s Cookbooks because of your past year discussions on his easy to follow recipes.

Thank you Nicolas for a brand new hello for the new year. I also came back from the state side after a month break and now back to Germany where my home is for a few years. There’s no place like home isn’t there! Hope I get to go see my friends in London soon and like you said, hope for all the best to come! Happy New Year!❤❤

Welcome back. I enjoy all of your videos. Wonderful gift from Jamie Oliver. I love him as well. So glad you enjoyed your trip and feeling better. Your visit with your family sounds wonderful. Can’t wait till next video.

Welcome back and Happy New Year Nicolas. Your Christmas holiday with family sounds wonderful. Thanks for a great vlog❤️🙏

Enjoyed the episode. I will have to get Jamie’s new cookbook. Thank you for cooking one of the recipes. Best wishes for 2023.

Welcome back. It is always nice to start fresh after the Christmas holiday. I took this opportunity to declutter my home. It is so fresh and ready for the new year. Have a blessed week.

I have been loving and enjoying your videos in 2022 I know I will again in 2023. Happy New Year may all your dreams come true!

Shoes on the chair!!! Egads. 😮 Many thanks for the cookbook idea and your positive ideas about the new year. Lucky for you to stay at the Langham! Beautiful!

Happy 2023 Nic🎉! I agree , living life in a state of “Gratitude “ allows amazing opportunities in our life 😇 Thanks for sharing the cookbook , just ordered my copy .

Nice to see you again, Nicholas. What a beautiful, luxurious hotel stay you had ! Love that Jamie Oliver hamper, what a great gift to receive. Happy 2023 Nicholas 🎉

Lovely as always to hear from you ❤, Nicolas! The Langham looks delightful; you stay in the finest of accommodations. We've taken down our Christmas things as well. It's a bitter sweet joy cleaning up, as one wants to hold on to the tangible memories as long as possible. Some of my wife's family had Christmas meals with us, and she delighted us with her cooking. It was very cold here in Canada 🇨🇦 over the holidays; thankfully, it has warmed considerably.; it is funny that you mentioned your Mom complaining about heating costs, as heating costs have doubled here. Otherwise, the Christmas Season was wonderful. Please do include us in your Birthday Celebrations in January. God Bless A

Afternoon Tea at the Langham. On my bucket list!

thank you Nicholas, that was a sweet video.I live in Ontario Canada and just love your gentle voice and your lifestyle. Keep up the good work, good vibes and a very good New Year to you and little Sophie

Very cool. Love Jamie O and you can do this hamper justice. Go for it! Good you both connected- you found each other for this collab. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Welcome home Nicolas and May the New Year make all your dreams a reality! So glad you can spend time with your family. Love your positive attitude. I’m hoping for a year of surprises and joy as well. Hope you meet someone special this year. ❤️🤞

Happy New Year, Nicolas! This is another lovely video and bravo on preparing Jamie Oliver’s recipe. He is my favorite and I’m actually a collector of his cookbooks. They are on display in my kitchen. You are so loved and appreciated and a gift to us all. 💙

Happy new year from Greece Mykonos!

Fabulous sweater! My goal for 2023 is simple: keep my head above water and bring color into bleak lives 😊

Happy Healthy Prosperous New Year

Best wishes on your new endeavors! Looking forward to your posts in 2023.

Welcome back Nicolas. Missed you. Its always so nice to be able to get away from the usual.

Such elegance! The hotel is a dream and your re-entry to your home inspirational.

Thank you for sharing and allowing us to be part of your journey👋

A very happy new year Nicolas xxx thank you so much sharing the beautiful hotel. ❤

Thinking of that cookbook purchase…it reminds me of cooking with Julia Child. Have you seen the film Julia Julia. It about A young person who cooks 1 recipe a day from her cookbook starting with page 1, as it’s designed to teach & tackle culinary skills, starting with basic & gradually gets more difficult as you move through the book with the most challenging at the end. Completion is like completing professional courses at the famous Cordon bleu chef school. The film shows 1 persons attempt/journey is very entertaining. I’m going to treat myself to another watch on this very rainy day.

I’m a 58yr mom, just wanted to tell u I found ur videos by “mistake”😜I super love what u do...keeping order in our environment n making us see that we don’t need to live in a castle to enjoy “castle living”👌...big hug from Fontana California

Oooo, that hotel is gorgeous. How nice to see you again. Happy New Year! It’s going to be a great one.

Always a pleasure to see you Nicolas. I made a big (international ) move half way through last year, so i intend to spend this year settling into my new space and nesting a little bit. I hope to make it as attractive as yours. Best wishes and happy new year!

Welcome back. Glad you had a lovely break, but I did miss you. Yes you after right re making most of life. We bought an apartment in Sunny Queensland to spend the cold winter of Tasmania there. So 6 months in Queensland's winter which is beautiful and 6 months back in Tasmania in the summer. Warm weather 12 months of year now.

Thank you for the wonderful Christmas gift (recipe). Hope you will share with us some more)) Merry Christmas!

Thrilled to see you again. Glad you had a great time with your family. Looking forward to seeing more videos in the New Year from you.

Welcome back Nicholas and happy new year ! Thank you for your videos , good job!

Happy New Year to you too, Nicolas! I hope 2023 is a wonderful as you are. Thanks for the beauty you give the world. Love you!

Glad to have you back. So glad you had an amazing holiday with the family. It was just me and my Mom for Christmas but my friends and I had a very nice dinner before. Looking forward to your videos in 2023. Love David and Niko

I am so glad you had a lovely time away. We all need that! Thank you for all your wonderful videos. Wherever you are or go, I enjoy them all!

Welcome back and Happy New Year! Your dish looks delish

I so enjoyed your wonderful video Nicolas! You bring a lot of joy to my life seeing each of your terrific videos. Thank you. Praying for a safe new year for you, and thanking Him for you.

Nice to see you again Nicolas, Very full vlog, loved it. I am also a chef and have met Jamie and really do enjoy his books!

Happy New Year! I am looking forward to continuing my desire of living a more elegant life. Finding a great cookbook and refining your cooking skills is really satisfying, enjoy!

Dear Nicolas there's something very moving about this video, for me... I just want you to know that many times I watch your videos and I find myself wishing you all the best, a beautiful future and a love worthy of your beautiful soul. Hope this year brings you happiness and success. Love from Portugal. 🌟

Happy new year Nicholas, it's wonderful to see you looking and feeling refreshed and back behind the camera for 2023 . Making goals for the new year is an adventure ✨️ we can all do and share with family and friends. Your words an videos are inspiring keep up the great work .

Welcome back, and Happy New Year, Nicholas! Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas and holiday with your family. One I know you will cherish forever. That is what is so exciting about every new year that we wonder what it will bring for us. Of course, we hope for continued good health and any other surprises the universe wants to bring our way. I wish you the best in your endeavors.

I'm glad to hear that you had a wonderful break in beautiful surroundings. That hotel looks fantastic and who wouldn't love that Jamie Oliver basket. Best to you in 2023!

Your videography is splendid. So happy to hear from you. Glad you had a great holiday.

Happy new year. I wish all your projects come true and also happiness wherever you decide to live.

Happy New Year 2023! Love your show!😀

Welcome back and Happy new year. What a beautiful video. Everything you do is so graceful. You inspire me!

Happy New Year, Nicolas! Happy to hear that you had a great Christmas with your family. Definitely a "priceless" way to spend the holidays! As you say, new year, new beginnings, so I am confident that all of your decisions will be the right one for you! Look forward to hearing and seeing your new visions for the Year 2023. Very much enjoyed the video! Hugs!

Jamie Oliver is amazing! So excited to see you cooking from his cookbook. Happy New Year Nicolas! 🎉 Happy Hogmanay 🎉🎉🎉

Happy New Year! Keep enjoying every moment..that makes life worth living!!!

Hurrah for simple elegant taste always refreshing to see. Happy you experience this.🎉🎉❤❤❤

Glad to see you back

Welcome back Nicholas looking forward to your channel again this year.

Happy New Year. I hope 2023 is off to a great start for you. I'm glad you had a wonderful time with your family over the holiday season. All the best in the coming year. I too am excited for things to come. I am a person who likes to stay positive as well. Speaking positivity brings positivity I'm told. I too like to cook and like to stick to one to two pots or pans if possible, less clean up that way. Always looking for one pot or two pot dishes. I have also been cleaning and organizing a bit in the new year as well. Making goals is always a adventure in the new year I enjoy.

Happy New Year! Welcome back from beautiful Staffordshire. Good luck with your decision-making process - your excellent attitude will come in handy in the new year. Congratulations on your hamper - such a lovely gift and how nice of the Jamie Oliver team to think of you this Holiday Season. As I, too, live alone, I will have to look for the featured cookbook and accompanying pan. Like you, I hate to waste food and like to keep things in the kitchen as simple as possible, so both will be a good investment for the comping year, and, I hope, help me eat healthier. Thank you for all that you do for the community. You are such a lovely soul.

So good to catch up with you and the sweet Sophie again - Happy 2023! May good things come your way this year. Blessings from Devon, England. xxx

Welcome Home! Love your sweater and your skin looks beautiful all in all great to see your video again. Blessings Nicholas Happy New Year 🥳 oh I think I got many hooked on your fabulous teas! Yummy ☕️🫖🍰
