Okay does anyone else feel more elegant, classy, calm and extremely happy watching this video??? It's so beautiful to watch!
and relaxed! this is honestly so soothing
Yes… me for sure. So beautiful. Makes me feel calm.
🙋🏾♀️
No, I feel like this little ponse has assaulted my gender.
no, it reminds me of how much poor people's work is stolen by these people
I’m glad, I’m not the only young person, who believes that life should be lived beautifully. Even if it’s something as simple as arranging flowers or learning embroidery. I feel that your channel will be very successful.
I feel like I'm watching PBS in the early 2000s and it's great.
Yess
Lol 😂
I can picture Hyacinth Bucket making an appearance at his tea party! I know he would get an invite to one of her candlelight super!
Yes!!!!! Love ❤️
A young person with class and taste. What a refreshing change.
This is the most British video i’ve ever seen
Hehe Thank you!
I like it!
Yes,super British.
You should see BBC's video with those tea scientists 😂
😂😂
This young man knows how to live beautifully. Refreshing!
Thank you so much ! X
Just ADORABLE! 💗
In a world of Instagram and love island I have to say this guy is a breath of fresh air
“They don’t really have a function today, but they are beautiful.”
-I felt that.
This popped up in my recommended, and I am not mad at all.
So glad!
Me TOO
The same!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺🐨
Yep. Same here
This is not just colourful tea spoon or plates this is a life style this a philosophy of living peace and bright mind , this is absolutely beautiful
This reminds me of what it is meant to “be mindful”...or “living in the moment”🥰
Well said ⭐
You have inspired this old lady!!!!! I love tea love making food for my friends and to be honest I have cancer and do not know how long I will be here so I want my friends and family's memories to be elegant and filled with love and joy. Thank you young man. LOTS OF LOVE FROM THE UNITED STATES.
“They don’t really have a function today but they are beautiful”
And *thats* the function! For what is life without beauty 🥰
aww
People often ask me why I insist on buying parts for my computer that glow and change color. "It doesn't do anything!" they say. What they forget is that, all throughout history, people have collected things for the sole purpose of them looking pretty. Gold is innately useless, but for ten thousand years it has been the most coveted material by mankind. Back in caveman days, having nice things meant you were so good at surviving, that you had time to get otherwise useless things that looked cool. It is now an almost innate behavior in humans to collect things that are beautiful for status. And while modern society doesn't necessarily value status in the same way, we still feel good having, and looking at, beautiful things. So it's a harmless way to feel good. Every time I turn on my computer, I feel good, because it's pretty. And that is the function of pretty things, to make you feel good.
😊😊😊
@@JesperoTV Exact. Why not to buy something beautiful that makes our life happiest?
Let's enjoy ourselves! 🤗🤗😉😉
Watching this made me calm.
So glad!
Same here
OMG me too! This is actually the first time I’ve seen his videos
So true.
This is like... One of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched.
Wow - thank you!
i totally agree
what a charm he is
beautiful quite simply
You are such an angelic beeing Young men , I bought in London a Tiny Book „ tea conversation“ Many years ago , manners and proper language to use
Your relatives and Friends are Lucky to have you
God bless dear 🙏🏻💝🌷😇
I am a RN Manager of a drs office and on my desk I have “The little book of manners”...I feel we need to bring more manners back into our daily lives again especially in the work place🥰
In America in the Southern states afternoon tea is still pretty popular here, I believe it was adopted after the British custom. I love having Sunday afternoon tea with my daughter and girlfriends, especially in the garden if weather permits. If you're ever in North Carolina, you're welcome at our tea table! ❤
Why would anyone dislike this video? I found it delightful. I always enjoy tea time. I try to incorporate this event on my days off. So relaxing and enjoyable.
Thank you for making this video. Me and my grandmother always had afternoon tea together whenever I visited. Since she passed away I have kept the tradition of setting up a nice afternoon tea and enjoying myself once every two weeks. I don't currently have anyone who's interested in joining me and that might sound a bit sad, but I like the calm and memories it brings me.
I want to be this guys Bestfriend! it’s the little details that make life worth living so magical thanks for sharing ur delightful creation. 🫖🍰🪞🌷
It's like having a tea party in a doll house. So pretty and cute.
You are just delightful to watch. I would love to have afternoon tea with you. Your rule of just having fun is the best rule I’ve seen.
I think it’s a great rule to carry through to all areas of life! X
I finally came to the end of my Nicolas Fairford channel marathon watching I started from his latest to the beginning and I have been thoroughly educated, entertained, and relaxed by this wonderful young gent, who exudes class, elegance, and is very savvy about all things British. Can't wait to watch all your future videos, Nicolas.
Thank you so much ! So glad you enjoyed the videos X
I really agree on your statement, make everything beautiful throughout your day with simplicity. Surround yourself with beauty and create more joyous moments. So definitely true. Philippians 4:8, " Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely...." Great job and inspiring!
“They don’t really have a function today but they are beautiful” I’m smitten. 😍
Asmr on a whole other level
People do say that!!
What does that mean, Asmr ?

Omg I’m so jealous of whoever gets to be your guest for afternoon tea!!
No-one during this pandemic ;)
Me too! 😊😊😊
@@NicolasFairford ...after the pandemic is over you should celebrate by having a drawing where you invite a few of your followers to afternoon tea with you🥰

I absolutely adore this!
I just want to tell you that I thought you were Ruby from 8 Passengers at first glance and I was about to tell you to fuck on outta here but then I realized- I’m sorry queen that’s all 🤧🤧
My mom would serve us finger sandwiches as children and wanted us to be refined. I didn't understand the importance of it until I got older and saw how much the world could use some of these traditions.
you're so sweet and talented! love this video so much
This is the perfect video to watch if you need to put on morning tea in a hurry 😂 my mum had me bake her up a morning tea spread and set the table for an elderly Italian couple who took morning tea seriously and scones were on the menu I was only 12 so I baked both plain and sultana scones whipped cream and jam on the side, chocolate and coconut truffles, English pound cake with lemon zest buttercream and jam and cream sponge dusted with icing sugar on the top and this was the start of my passion for cooking 🧑🍳
This has got to be the most calming and beautiful video I have ever watched. The sheer elegance and beauty of this is astounding. As an English tea addict, I inelegantly drink my tea out of mugs (more capacity). Having watched this, I will definitely be buying a beautiful tea set and a three-tiered cake stand too. Thank you, Nicolas Fairford for sharing this. You were surely born in the wrong era; I wish there were more people like you.
☀️”My whole body is smiling; my heart is filled with joy and happiness! This is as life should be!”💜💫
Ok, that was SOOOOO british. You are an ambassador of UK culture, Nicolas.
"Life should be beautiful " you make the life more beautiful doing what you love Nicolas thank you so much I love your channel ✨

My daughters and I are planning a tea with their grandmothers, we are so excited! You have really inspired us!
The people who gave thumbs down are jealous because they cannot pull off a beautiful tea party such as this 🌹I think it’s lovely 🥂
"They don't really have function today, but they're beautiful."
That's me that's me in this world minus the beautiful part maybe
Hehe!
Omg! I read this comment exactly when he said that😵
You are beautiful and you do have function. Trust the process and remember it’s all about the journey. Enjoy!
I found myself saying "ahh" and "ooh" a lot while watching this gorgeous video...loved it!
So glad you enjoyed it!
The food, the cutlery, the background, the aesthetics everything is just Perrrrfect! Dreamy 🌸🌸
You’ve inspired me to do an afternoon tea at home for my daughter’s birthday,. Thank you, you are a gentleman. 🎩😊
@Starlight Sky...what a great idea! An afternoon tea for a birthday would be just beautiful at any age🥰
A breath of fresh air during these challenging times. Thank you
You're so welcome!
1. Stunning set up
2. You need to make asmr videos
3. I wish you were my relative 🤣
So kind of you! Thank you!
Wow! I wanted to make an at-home tea party for my family because we can't go anywhere, so I was researching and watching videos. I never knew there was so much behind tea parties. I am only three minutes into the video and I have learned about ten things I didn't know about tea parties. This video is so wholesome and I love it.
What a beautiful kind human🙂
This is so relaxing to watch. His voice is calming too. Love the wonderful ideas.
Thank you so much!
what a beautiful soul you are, nicolas! thank you for this warmharded inspiration ♥
So kind! Thank you!
Well now, you are just absolutely enchanting.
@Bree...that’s the word ...elegant AND enchanting🥰
Your tulips are absolutely beautiful. Most people like roses, but tulips are my favorite. Roses are second. My grandmother loved flowers and always had a rose garden that she tended to up until her early 80s.
It's so dreamy!
Thank you!
You have a nice soothing voice.
Pretty table, wish I could have tea with you.
Thank you so much, that would be fun!!
As an Indian not a huge fan of Britain but this Briton is the best thing to happen on TH-cam today. Thanks for recommending YT feed. Subscribed already.
This is lovely....I'm diabetic which I'm sure %of viewers are. So glad you added the tomatoes and strawberries, as were allowed one carb ( starch) per meal. I would choose one cucumber sandwich and the smallest cookie . just subbed and happily catching up. Oh I'd drink all the Tea 🍅🍓☕
I live in the states and afternoon tea is a formal event with elegance. Your presentation was gorgeous and looked so inviting.
Thank you so much!
@@NicolasFairford ...You should open your very own afternoon tea place🥰
@@biancacox8630 Hard to make a decent profit.
I absolutely adore the Wedgewood dishes
They are pretty!
Omg this is so elegant and thank you so much for sharing. Spending time at home opened my creativity to another level and helped me discover new passions. Just a few weeks ago, I was able to find the perfect most beautiful Sadler London tea set at the thrift shop. Now I finally enjoy early mornings and late afternoon with tea.
So beautiful and peaceful, real joy to watch!
What a sweet table setting. I love your calming voice. Thanks for sharing your beautiful tea tips
Thank you so much 😊
I love the idea of cutting the flowers smaller, it's brilliant.
Thank you! 😊
I am a 59 yr old rugged Canadian male and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this :)

I think that great film about afternoon tea and the history of it in a British tradition within the home.
“They don’t really have a function today, but they are beautiful.”
😀 This is so well said 💞
So happy that you're here on TH-cam. Loved this video xx
Audrey Coyne Thank you so much! That is so kind X

I think I may have rewatched this about 5 times just this morning. You are just so charming and sweet and I LOVE this!!!
Excellent video, Mr. Nicolas Fairford. Delightful & Perfect Afternoon Tea at a very pretty home in Scotland. Wonderful to watch. Thank you for fantastic filming & showing the British perfect afternoon tea at home. Happy new year. Happy Birthday & Happy Valentines.
I dont know how I ended up here but Im glad. This is absolutely beautiful.
My mom is having a tea party with my niece next month...I’m helping setting this up. This video is everything. Love your voice 💜
I have just discovered the most pleasing video on TH-cam. Love this!!!!
He's MAGNIFICENT! Love his vibe!!
"Theres alot of debate whether its cream or jam first"
Me: Ah yes, the ol' cream vs jam debate
Haha - always!
Ya gotta jam it first before you could cream!
AKA Cornwall vs. Devon
Putting cream on AFTER jam is just way more messier to me😂🙄
This is the prettiest most peaceful video I have ever seen. Brightened my day! I could watch this over and over just to make my day feel beautiful!
Nicolas, I am a new follower in a small town near Houston, Tx. I am so delighted every time I watch one of your videos. They bring me so much joy. On this lovely afternoon, I am painting my bedroom walls in very much the same color of your bedroom paint by Lick. I finally found something comparable and was inspired by you of course. My bedroom, I have styled very much like yours. I would have never been so inspired and motivated without your videos. I am also following your advice on painting the furniture with chalk paint and white washing it. I restored two lamps and bought new lamp shades. Now to go shopping for artwork and some topiaries. You truly are an inspiration and my life is so much happier with you showing me how to enjoy and savor living in the present moment. Eternally Thankful, Jen 🌹❤️
Now the beauty of the 🍵 tea time is in the beautiful people you share it with 🕊️
Oh you give such a nice positive energy. I am so relaxed watching ur videos. Thank you very much, Angel 💕
So kind of you! Thank you!
Such an adorable and elegant table setting!!! I absolutely love this 💖
Such a lovely table setting. I love to do tea parties with my grandchildren to teach manners. We have a lot of fun at our tea parties and good memories.
I know now who I will be asking to be my wedding planner. He has great taste.
I love he has my accent ! Im a Northerner - I’m married to a Southener - totally different vocal ambiance!
This is some really excellent quality stuff! I can see the passion you're putting into this, it really shows! As someone looking to do something like this for some friends across the pond, this was a real treat to watch!
Thank you so much! So kind of you x
How lovely! I’m giving my Mother a tea party for her 80th.
This is a much appreciated introduction to afternoon tea. I can appreciate why my great grandparents had a set of China for such an occasion now. I feel inspired to use them and enjoy them in the same way they did thanks to your presentation. With gratitude.
I am feeling so inspired! And may I add, you have quite a beautiful home
Great taste. I loved the table setting.
Thank you Nicolas for sharing lovely things . You don't need lots of money to have a good time. I like to bake my desserts from scratch . I have been wanting to make an afternoon tea. My son in law Robert Gillies introduced this to me. He is originally from the UK and now lives in Norway. Long live Tea Time!.
This was pleasing to watch. I actually came here because I am planning to have a tea party with 3 of my gf..having visited England..I fell in love with high tea culture and wanted some guidance on how it should be done.
Well done..👏 👏 👏 👏
Would love to have ☺tea with you at this besutifully set table.. Anyone would feel like a queen being enertained by you! You are fabulous😊
I feel like an uncultured swine 😂
Laugh out loud 🤣
nooooo 🤣😩🤚🏼

I just spit my coffee reading this 😂
Me, too 😅
I’ve just discovered this young man. I just love his videos.
I just love serving & having afternoon tea !
Beautiful, beautiful, beauty..full!!!! Lovely calming voice too.
Thank you so much 😊
What a lovely message of beauty and care you have shared with everyone! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
