How does such a young man become so elegant beyond your years ? Your videos have such a calming affect on me . You show us how all the many little things in daily life can be slowed down to where they can truly be enjoyed .

I'm going to miss you Nicolas but I hope you have a well deserved break and looking forward to your return in the future. Take care and thanks for all of the inspo!

Dear Nicolas , I am a senior citizen writing to you from Vancouver BC: how I do love Your serenity , calmness and beautiful routines, also I do love that you have a little fur kid Thank you so much for all the joy , your wonderful vlog brings to me ✍️👀

Being a high anxiety person you are the best therapy for me. I Love every thing you do. Watching you is so calming and enjoyable.

Your lovely ways, charming content, soothing voice, and beautiful things give me so much joy and comfort. You and your channel have and always will be a true treasure for me! Enjoy your break see you in August!! Thank Goodness.☆♡☆

I’m sure I speak for us all when I say the title filled us with fear 😧 the relief that it’s just a fortnight is indescribable. Enjoy your break cherub ❤️

Enjoy your break, sweetie. We'll miss you, but "absence makes the heart grow fonder". Take care of you, and get some well deserved down time! Love you!

Let’s face it, so many people have come to love you and your content Nicolas! It is a highlight of every week, for me pal. Although I’ll miss your posts for a few weeks, I sure admire you taking a break to rest, renew, and refresh. That’s important to do! Have fun, and THANK YOU for all the joy you bring to this world, via your platform. ❌⭕️❌⭕️

Thank you, Nicolas, for sharing your day and dinner party. Everything you do is first class, elegant, and interesting. Each week you bring peace and joy to my life. All the best from New York. Gabriel.

Enjoy yourself. hoping you'll return and share some of your holiday stories from Italy and maybe a photo or two of your beautiful sister's wedding - with her permission of course. See you soon!

May I add to all the lovely comments here, and wish you well for a break-and how wonderful to attend a loved family members wedding! Sophie is delightful as always. I am having a huge clear-out and clean up at home. It is hard work, but so rewarding. Best wishes❤️

Hello Nicholas! I looked with pleasure at your pudding, and with what love you set the table in the garden. I am delighted with your imagination, modesty, friendliness, as well as thriftiness, self-discipline, grace and beauty of your voice. Thank you Mr Fairford!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

I'm so glad to hear that you are only taking a temporary break. I was afraid you were leaving us indefinitely. Enjoy your time away from youtube.

Thank you for sharing Sophie with us!! I love her 😍

I would love to share the book . . . The first strawberry Pavlova I ever tasted - 1974 on a New Orleans trip with my aunt and grandmother. Thanks for the memory!

Hi, Nicholas! Meringue was used extensively in the American South for sweet treats. I don’t see it as often these days. When I was a child and went to the ocean to visit my Aunt Catherine, she would bake individual meringues with chopped pecans, pack them in an air-tight tin, and give them to me to enjoy on the long trip back home. My mother made meringue shells and would fill them with vanilla icecream and home made chocolate sauce and sometimes use strawberries instead ( as you did in the video ). Of course we also used meringue as the topper for lemon, chocolate and coconut cream pies. Thank you for bringing back these memories. I think I will make meringue shells this week!

LOVE the idea of paying a book forward!! The idea of having those who read it write their name inside is genius! I’ll miss your videos but certainly understand needing a break from KZfaq. Wishing you all the best, Nicholas! ❤️

Awwww Sophie is so happy, her little tail is going a mile a minute!(lol) thank you for your videos, hurry back! 😊 I love that little dog!

Nicolas,you finally showed your dinner companions! It made the vlog so much better!

I can picture myself sitting in my courtyard reading the book and sipping my afternoon tea. Then forwarding to my friend Emily.

I would love to receive the book and pass it along. My daughter and I love watching your videos and trying out your ideas. They always put us in a good mood.

You bring peace and beauty to my life and deserve the same. Enjoy your break. 💗

Dear Nicolas - you are a rare soul - I don't think you know how many people you uplift with your charming persona & beautiful videos - we will miss you - but this break is much needed for you - we will miss you while you are away - hurry back - much love.

Bob voyage Nicolas! Have a wonderful vacation. We will enjoy viewing your old videos until you return. Safe travels and enjoy!

You’re such a hard worker Nicolas! We hope to see you soon :-)! Get some much needed rest, we will be waiting patiently til August xx

Look after you ! We'll be here when you're ready xxx

When I lived in Australia I recall them considering pavlova their national dessert. An off-set spatula is one of the most helpful (and inexpensive) kitchen tools and would help with spreading the meringue (sp?) and cream. We all need breaks - have a good one.

I love to sit down every week and have a quiet break watching your channel. You create a calming , peaceful content. Enjoy your time off visiting with family and have a restful vacation poolside with a new good book !!!!

You deserve a break! You're so delightful Nicolas!...everytime I see your videos it reminds me to simply slow down and smell the roses take extra time for myself and splurge on elegant simplicity.You make everything so doable and lovely.Enjoy your Family time...they must be so proud of you😘 throw my name in the book well ❤

Wonderful to hear that you are not leaving forever, Nicholas!!! Awesome:) Enjoy your break!

Greetings from Santa Fe, ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 Have a nice two-week holiday, Nicolás. You deserve a good rest to recharge your energy. Fill your eyes and heart with Italian beauty. Bon Voyage! 🏵

love you all the calming videos that makes so many of us happy

Hi Nicolas! Thank you for offering the book to one of your viewers. I’m an avid reader and would love the chance to read this and share with a friend! Enjoy your time away!

Enjoy your well earned break, Nicolas. Look forward to seeing you again in August. Have a great time at your sister’s wedding. Take care in the heat.

Stay safe Nicolas! enjoy your time. Grateful for your channel brings, peace and joy sending prayers, love and light to you and all who come here to find joy and creativity 1

I, as many others, turn to your videos for their serenity, the calmness in your voice, the beauty in your surroundings, and your wonderful ideas and suggestions. Thank you Nicolas and please don't ever leave us. A friend in SanDiego, CA.

Pavlova, so simple yet so elegant. And it's delicious too! Your garden and table were lovely, as always, Nicholas. We will miss you, of course, but look forward to hearing about your lovely holiday. Have a wonderful time! See you when you get home.

All the best Nicolas! A well-earned break for sure. Enjoy your time with family, too. I've always tried to be a "pay it forward" person with books I don't plan to keep as well. Your idea of writing one's name before passing it on is very creative. I love it!

Enjoy your break Nicolas. I was so worried that your break would be so much longer. Thanks for taking only 2 weeks. Pavlova is very Australian. Us Aussies love it in our summer, Christmas and Easter time

Dear Nicolas. You are just the sweetest. Your table setting looked so lovely. You always do it up right. I wish you a most wonderful holiday. Enjoy your sister's wedding to the fullest. Take time for yourself for some well deserved self care. All the best. Cheers from Canada. 🤗💛🤗

Thank you for all the lovely videos 😊 they are calming , informative and inspirational . They remind us of delicate beauty in the daily round and self-care. I found them valuable in helping me cope with the unexpected loss of my husband. You bring such joy to so many ❗️❤️

Thank you, Nicolas. Have a wonderful break and family time in Italy. We will be here when you return and remember to stay safe.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the title of this vlog. You certainly do deserve some time off and you seem to have some wonderful things planned. Your trip to Italy sounds lovely and I hope you will be able to share pictures from your sister’s wedding. Thank you for the recipe for the pavlova; it has always been my goal to make one, so no more excuses! Your vlog is such a pleasure; your beautiful home, recipes, tours of the city, and calming voice bring me joy and relaxation. All the best to you and Sofie. Enjoy the summer and know that we will be waiting for you.

Thank you for sharing your elegance with us. Have a lovely time in Mallorca, you deserve it!

Nicolas, what a fabulous idea about passing the book to others. How fun!

I have really come to enjoy your channel and content. My biggest take away is feeling confident enough to host my own dinner party. You’ve made it look so easy and fun that I think I can do it as well. I’m so glad you’re not going away indefinitely. Lots of love and gratitude 💖

Beauty in life is a joy. Thank you.

After watching at least half a dozen videos almost in a row, I subscribed with this one. What a charming soothing pleasant part of the internet you have created for us all to share.

Great idea with “paying it forward” with the book. Be happy to participate! Have a great break!

Have fun at your sister's wedding and enjoy the next 2 weeks!

All your food looks delicious. Congratulations too your sister on her upcoming wedding. Take care lovely. See you back in two weeks time. 👍🥰

All so relaxing and easy. A pleasure to be part of your everyday life.

Enjoy your break and time with family and friends. I look forward to your future videos. You have inspired me to make my mealtimes a bit more elegant and special even though they are usually just for myself.

😍Everyone deserves a vacation! Have a great time!!💕💕

Thanks Nicolas. This video makes me realise how much I appreciate and value your content. Wishing you a relaxing break. Thanks for letting us know you are taking time off.

Oh thank goodness you’re just taking time off for holiday. I’ve lost basically all of my favorite KZfaqrs over the years and that’s actually how I came here. I was hoping you weren’t quitting. Enjoy your time off, you’ve earned it. P.S. Would you ever consider noting in the description box the names of the music/ artists you use in your videos? I absolutely love the musical aesthetic your videos have. This video was particularly lovely.

Have a grand time and see you when you return. The summer dessert looks absolutely fabulous and a wonderful presentation! I also love the idea of passing forward books., something we all should be doing.

Have a wonderful vacation and rest ! I enjoy your channel so much , best wishes

I will miss you, but I also wish you a happy holiday. We will look forward to your return! Thank you for all your wonderful videos!

We will miss you! A well deserved break for you. Thanks for letting us know.

What a lovely dinner party. Please enjoy your extremely well deserved break to the absolute fullest. We'll be here when you get back and look forward to what's to come!

Have a great break - exciting couple of weeks ahead for you! Hope you have a wonderful time in Majorca and Italy and look forward to seeing you when you are back

Nicolas, your dinner looked delicious!! You always make everything look wonderful and a source of inspiration to your viewers. Enjoy your well deserved time off!

Love the idea of “paying it forward” with your book! What a great idea for a Nicholas Fairford book club. Maybe it should start it’s journey with me in Australia? ❤️✈️📚

Enjoy your time away, everyone needs a break and a well deserved rest 🥰. See you in Aug.

Everyone needs a break now and then. I do hope you enjoy yourself. 💯❣️Thanks for sharing the strawberry dessert too!

Nicolas a tip for your flowers,cut the stems under water in the sink or basin ,they come to life and will last longer much much longer,especially roses or any other flowers.

Enjoy your time off Nicolas. I learned to make pavlova from your Chanel now. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Sending your lots of love and appreciation.

It’s the summer time and the livin’ is easy! Safe travels dear Nicolas and know that you are loved. California calling.

Hello Nicolas, I have only recently found you by chance, and I NEVER usually comment, but are an absolute delight to watch, I find you so calming and relaxing, you really are amazing. I am slowly catching up with older videos, but I am really looking forward to seeing back very soon. Jan 😊

Yet again, Thank You Nicolas!! Have a great break!! Take pictures!!! Have a great time at your sister's wedding and in Italy!!!

Hello Nicolas, I love your channel and I love this idea of keeping a book moving! I am a little sad that you'll be taking a break from KZfaq but certainly understand. All of us need a break once in a while, if for no other pressing reason, than just to keep balance in our lives and rejuvenate. We'll miss you!

Thank you Nicolas for sharing your life with us. Enjoy your time off from here. So happy for your sister and what sounds like a beautiful wedding !!! You deserve this time off away from KZfaq. Love from Ohio

That breakfast looked super yummy! Your patio is looking fantastic...... Go and enjoy your time off.... congrats to your sister! Take some time for yourself as well.... Enjoy! See you soon.... xoxo Randolph

Hey Nicolas, I was devastated to hear you were taking a break you’re such an icon for our community!! I will miss you! I would love to take the book of your hands!! You have such good taste I’m sure it’s amazing!! Xx

We will miss seeing you, but you’re very smart to prioritize and not overextend yourself.

Have a lovely 2 weeks break. Look forward to seeing you in August. I would love to be in the draw for the pay it forward book, its a great idea to add your name and pass it on once you have read it.

I love everything in your apartment if I lived on my own it would be identical to yours - you are such an inspiration

The gift of a book is a significant gift.

Oh, I would love to read, forward, and share the book love! Thank you for sharing such calming, serene peace and joy through your videos! Enjoy your well deserved respite, and cherish your family connections! See you, soon 🤗

Enjoy your break-I’m sure it will be a lovely time! Looking forward to hearing about your travels.

I would love to receive the book and then pass it along, it sounds really interesting! Thank you for your lovely, calming, tasteful videos, love watching what you do each week. Claire X

Have a wonderful time with family and friends. I celebrated my birthday in England several years ago and our hosts made a berry pavlova for me. It was amazing. Brings back wonderful memories. Blessings.

great Idea ,to gift your books ,is the gift who is keep giving

Your Pavlova looks delicious. Outdoor dinner parties are so enjoyable when the weather cooperates! Enjoy your time off, especially the wedding and family visits..

Hope you have a great time at your sister’s wedding! And relaxing and enjoying Italy as well!! What an awesome idea to give away the book you read, and starting a “chain “ of readers from different parts of the would!!! By the way, would love to read it myself as I’m an avid reader!!!🤗 Anyway! Loved your video, your Pavlova!! Looks gorgeous!!!😋😋😋

It's important to know when to take time for yourself. Have a wonderful vacation and I'll look forward to watching your next video when you return!

I took a break from KZfaq too to really enjoy summer. And you're my first destination back! I missed our time together and the beauty and peace you bring. Thank you!

Never water potted plants from the top. Rather,fill the sink with water and sut the pot in the water. It will then soak up the water encouraging the roots to grow down.

Oh yes, a well-deserved break…celebrating a special wedding in Mallorca!! Thank you for sharing today’s beautiful & inspiring video…Strawberry Pavlova with your stunning tableware! And what a great idea for book-sharing of Liars Like Me! As a big fan of YA books, and I think I recall this one reviewed as the “it” book of 2014, I would definitely love to read & continue to share it forward! Have a wonderful respite! Thanks again, Myra 💜

Oh my, how do I begin to tell you the elegance and grace offered in your videos. The soft exhibit in preparing a dinner to laying of the table, quietly, always quietly calms for the entire day into the night. And always wonderful advice....use what you have. I only have two flowered bowls that have been in my cupboard for some time now. Too pretty to use? Nonsense! Tonight I'll have a friend over for strawberry dessert and think if you... Peace and Tranquility, dear friend.

…it becomes glossy and gorgeous- exactly the meringue you need’ Amen xoxo

Hi Nicholas, I only found your KZfaq more recently and like everyone here love your work. Enjoy your break and look forward to your return. Ps Sofie is adorable

Loved today's video as always, everything you do is so elegant, always look forward to what you have to share each week. Your dinner party looked lovely and the strawberry pavlova looked 😋. Hope you enjoy your 2 week break and your sisters wedding goes well. As much as we will miss your video, we also appreciate that you deserve a break and enjoy your time with family & friends. I would love to be the next owner of your book and would be more than happy to pass it onto a new owner with the agreement for then pass it onto another new owner to allow people to share, what a great idea.. x

I feel that books are great conversation at a dinner party!

We shall welcome you back with open arms and expectations of beautiful photos of the wedding.

fun fact: for years Australians and new zealanders have debated who actually created the pavlova it is a common dish in the two countries (another fact it was named after a russian dancer Anna pavalova)

Thank you so much Nicolas for your lovely and relaxing episodes, I wish you the best in everything especially for your sister's wedding, enjoy your vacations in Italy ❤

I must admit, I have been shamelessly watching all your videos. I am so very happy I found your channel. Sending you so much love and warm wishes. Please do not leave for good. ❣
