This was so wonderful and fun! Add water bubblers in the pool. Remember what David said, air circulation! Moving water helps to keep the pool clean. On another channel they have made a natural clear pond for trout. Very hard to do so they got a large bubbler that's weighted and hooked it up to a small solar panel to run it. It's just like putting in a soft fountain 😊

I too am descended from the Montegues, but my Montagu ancestors decided to come to America in the 1600s. I wish I could afford to help but I’m your poor cousin.

I have been following you both for several years and have found your content interesting.However, of late,your constant requests for $$$ from ur viewers and patrons is really getting rather tiresome.Living in the US we have many,many historic properties that need support.Why would I support a money sucking estate in the UK with endless needs for restoration? The Earl of Sandwich has a lot of money (including a profitable restaurant at Disney World!) and Luke,you are not starving either.You live a v affluent life.A lot of these repairs should have been invested in over the decades by the current Earl Sandwich and Luke, like many British aristocrats,$ are short to maintain such large and elaborate estates.

Feels like Rich people begging for more money. 😢 sell some unusable properties.

Julie....I'm ready to come out there and kick some butt for you!!! I am a grandma from Michigan whose a real kick ass!!! You are such a wonderful person and are doing a fantastic job!!!! Most all your subscribers love you...and we got your back!!!!!😂🥰😇

Would have been nice to grow up in that house on that land around nature and to see it in its hayday

yall must have that Old Timey Family money to something to have Land and a pool like that and money to have it cleaned

What a beautiful team you both are so well matched 🖤🌸

I am happy with a sea salt solution rather than any chlorine. I'm convinced that you need a liner.

Have you heard about drones that pick apples? Maybe you could get some of those to save yourself some time picking apples.

Just FYI, I’ve bought 3 shirts from Beaufort & Blake, who I only know about from their sponsorship of your videos. They’re wonderful shirts, and I plan to buy more. Thanks for introducing me to them!

Do you know who @MarySpender is? She’s a musician and UK KZfaqr. She’s going on tour in the fall, maybe you could invite her to perform at one of your fairs. She’s brilliant, and very entrepreneurial.

What about inviting Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to camp there? You probably wouldn’t make much money, but you might get interest from the parents.

Have you thought about corporate retreats? I work for a large multi-national law firm (with an office in London), and we spend A LOT on parties and firm events.

IMO, the plant experiment doesn’t work for the size of the pool and detracts from the beauty of the pool.

Wait how was the room turned bathrooms window handled? New windows, wall divided…?

I know the plants growing all over the buildings are beautiful BUT the plants suck all the water out of the mortar and stone work. One of my husband’s good friends used to own a business that in America that restores damage to mortar and it is usually from Ivy growing on buildings. He made enough money to retire at a young age that is how damaging it can be. Just something to think about.

Could have saved that money and put it towards your leaky roof

Greetings from Georgia in the U.S. Lady Hinchingbrooke! Your content is a joy to watch! Thank you for sharing your adventures!

It's time to become a bed and breakfast? I've sold off numerous pieces of history to save my place. But at some point it isn't enough, and you start to regret actions

Julie, I will help. I love your videos, and your family. You all are amazing people❤

There is this British program I watch on Youtbe called "Country House Rescue" where this lady Ruth goes around the UK trying, helping and convincing the owners of these big old family-owned country homes on how to turn these large old mansions/homes into cash making estates in order to make them livable and to save them from complete destruction. In some cases, some owners categorically refuse to turn their homes into a cash making estate as it will require them to open them to the public or to convert them into event, function places or lodging. The irony of it all is that these aristocrats own or inherit these large estates, mansions, palaces, manors, castles with no money. The best way to preserve these large country homes/palaces/castles is to put them under a preservation trust that will control and run the estates. In return these estates will run/operate as a living museum or event venues to which a percentage of the proceed from the estate's earned income can be giving to the owners monthly or annually while the remaining earned income stays in the preservation trust for the up-keeping of the estates.

Some maintenance to wall pool maybe some revestiment

Definitely more , a lot more filter plants

I’m thinking that you could get funding if you rent some of the rooms and use part of your house as an airbnb. Another idea could be buying old houses, and use them as rentals, and investing in the stock market.

There are🌿🍁🍂🐸🦎🕷️🦟🦟into swimming pool🤨❓is amazing 😮

It’s a tremendous responsibility indeed maintaining these beautiful historic properties. I am in awe of your endless enthusiasm in doing so and if I could make a substantial financial contribution I would gladly help. I watch your videos and let the ads run which I know helps in a small way. You are both wonderful.

White pepper pure butter n cream is the best mash. Solid Irish woman here. Grans rules lol

Hi from Canada

So, this old pool is really almost more of a pond? I think that’s wonderful. I enjoyed watching your pandemic swims, wishing I had access to something similar. Pressure/power washing looks like a full-body workout. Thank you for the pond pool update!

I want to see Luke get into the water, lol!!!

Очень плохая съемка, но ничего не видно, одна болтовня

Thank you 🙏 Lady Sandwich, for your honest and true remarks… It is quite obvious that your love of paintings is deeper than genuine, it also seems to be a passion.. Lady Julie (?) viscountess Montague, (?) no disrespect… what a joy for you to have these times is must be… the best to you both…

Always bellyaching… you should have considered that before you started blowing the money on your side projects

Thought you were to have bubbles under the beds.. maybe a fountain to keep the water moving..

As a Tudor enthusiast, it’s wonder to know the laughter is still heard a lot through your halls, perhaps I too will visit… it would be a dream…

Here's an idea: why don 't you donate to the homeless.

This is sooooo funny. I,m laughing more at the lack of sympathy shown by Luke 😂. Julie you're a little star sweetheart. Well done peep's,love it❤

Aren't there funds or trusts to support renovations/restaurations? I hope some really creative people with a budget will get in touch with you guys over the farm buildings etc. They would be such a lovely project to renovate and create housing and with the right kind of folk the landscape would be kept under maintenance also

I want that trunk!!!!

Don’t know what to say after reading some of the comments. Look don’t shade on people who are custodians of these houses. After all they belong to us all. Feel like the government should step in and help assure it’s patrimoine. Here in France, there are just hundreds of these places totally falling to ruin. That being said, a lot of people are struggling (my family included) so I understand the frustration. Think this video is destined for a specific audience 💵🇺🇸😂

Chlorine! Drain, resurface in dark grey, and add chlorine. It’s the only way.

Good gravy! Your hubby has to get into this last pool. You are so brave Darlin!

Re: More Turtles. I live down in Southern Louisiana. We have lots of "locks" and waterways that are built up like yalls pool. It is full of turtles that are living their best lives! The water is so clean in the locks and those are just water areas held in from the River. I really think the turtles help keep thise areas clean. It is really fun and people go there a lot with their kids to feed them and get pictures. Yall could probably just find 3 or 4 more and the odds of them mating will be good. It could be a nice site for people to visit out there. Sone places have food machines. They are like the old gum ball machines you put quarters into, turn the knob, hold your hand under and it pours out pellets to feed them. That may help with food costs, too. Or yall could have people adopt a turtle and put the name on the shell [or that might not be good for them. Maybe check first] they really are relaxing and fun to watch.

I adore Luke but.... is he ADD? We joked that we could play a drinking game based on a shot everytime he cuts someone off/ talks over them or just wanders off in another conversation. I say this jokingly and not in a mean way at all. My husband and i are both cracking up watching picking out parts of us in these videos of y'all! 😂❤ congratulations

Julie, what about a sauna in the pool house? Like the vikings cold/ warm. It would be a great addition with a changing room.

We miss Steve and your mom videos

Julie and Luke what a magnificent episode, funny, Informative, eco friendly what a pleasure to be able to enjoy the life cycle of this most wonderful natural pool. Looking forward to next major program at Mapperton Manor House. Be safe, take care and God Bless 😇👍🙏🏰
