This may seem like an odd request but maybe you could talk about your dog sometime and how you trained her - so impressed with her good behavior.

Some years ago I met Julia Child at a book signing for her Cooking At Home book. I thanked her for teaching me how to cook and told her I was still throwing things on the floor. She threw back her head and let out her wonderful laugh!

I loved seeing and hearing you laugh when you dropped the lemon. Your soup looked delicious- food for the soul, as you said. Thanks Nicolas🙏🏻❤️

Nicolas, I would really like to see a video on gardening in pots when you mentioned wanting to organise your courtyard. I would love to see the end result, everything you design is beautiful.

Beautiful video. I would like to see you do garden video decorating your patio courtyard and pot up containers with lovely flowers and herbs. Add a little bistro set to sit outside.

I'm so glad you chose Mouse's Back for your living room. It's so comforting and the perfect backdrop for your furniture and accessories. I had to smile at your Fortnum and Mason hamper as it reminds me of the thank you hampers Mrs. Pumphrey and Tricki Woo sent to his Uncle Herriott in All Creatures Great and Small. Speaking of which if anyone is in need of a comforting tv show the recent remake of All Creatures that's currently airing Stateside on PBS's Masterpiece is wonderful.

You are so relaxing to watch and listen to. I would like to see you with some friends doing anything. Cooking, walking, having a tea party, being hosted for dinner by you (and you could make that a 2 or more video series - the planning and shopping, the cleaning and prep and flower arranging, the setting the table, the cooking and a bit of the party) as soon as it is safe to do so. You seem so solitary that I enjoy the videos where you interview people, like that designer, or interact. Make something from Julia Child’s book with a friend. Maybe you have a chat with someone at one of the cool places you visit and they share some of the history of the place. More walks, for sure. Always wonderful. On the other hand, you could keep doing what you are doing and husband and I will keep watching. Happy 2022 to you and top all of your viewers.

It is a pleasure to see such a beautiful view of Edinburgh. I went there with my parents in 1977 we have a very good time together and such good memories now that they live in another world....Also I will try your good recipe for sure. You are a real source of inspiration, I like the cosy atmosphere there is in your videos. Thanks a lot Nicolas

What a view you have!!! Are you kidding me, that is spectacular! I love your walk-abouts and short trips & views of the country side and even the city sides of life where you live! Good job on the organization! The soup recipe is SO simple and SO rewarding and tasty! I found it fascinating and encouraging that, while she led a full and exciting life before her cooking show, Julia didn’t even become “famous” on TV until she was 50! That gives everyone encouragement to keep chasing our dreams! I’m excited about your kitchen results and while you were talking about “neutral” colors, I was looking at your inspiration colors right there sitting pretty in your lap! Sophie’s colors are beautiful and go well with your paint in your living room! Love your channel and am a fan for life! All the best to you!

Little housekeeping tip - store glassware open end down. Keeps dust out of your glassware. 😊

Loved the look over the City of Edinburgh with you & Sophie (a very historical place) - the visit to the book store (very tranquil) the soup you made (delicious) including dropping the lemon (really lovely made me laugh - how many times have I done that myself while cooking) the changing of those yukky red tiles (great) looking forward to seeing the lovely new neutral tones & most of all loved Sophie jumping on your lap for a cuddle - what a gorgeous wee doggy really appreciate your uplifting presentations.

I've eaten a big bowl of homemade soup every night since 12 January, when I was trying to tempt myself to eat after being ill. I cook a big mixture of 8-10 fresh and frozen mixed veg, with about 3 ozs red lentils in veg stock. All the fibre and protein, and very easy and filling. The lentils melt down and thicken the soup wonderfully, and there's enough for 3 days.
