While I love the historical videos on Mapperton and restoring the manor, these fun videos and watching you two interact just make my day. As for the egg sandwiches, I am from the southern US, and our egg salad sandwiches have eggs, mayo, S&P, a touch of mustard, and a bit of sweet pickle relish.
Egg-cellent suggestion, this is how we do it in south Louisiana as well-spicy Creole mustard, a dash of cayenne, & heaping spoonful of homemade relish makes for picnic perfection (works for chicken salad, too!) We have hens so free-range eggs are always on the Bill of Fare.
“Zing” 😂(a little mustard makes it 👍)!! You two are too funny and, Julie, I just love your speaking voice! Always so clear and articulate with humor added to it!
I agree! Would love to see the two of you (notice how I avoid using "you guys"--one of my pet peeves) working with a digger to restore the stream around the island. Silt actually is a great word for the fine sand/clay mixture that builds up to block the water flow. Mud or muck seems like a better term for the stuff that mired down you and the crew.
I laughed so hard even watching this the second time! My husband thinks I’ve lost it but the joke’s on him because I’m planning a trip from North Carolina so we can stay and visit Mapperton 😁
you guys are lovely/adorable/quirky/hilarious - love all your adventures + Stephen & Claire's adventures - you are all more fun to watch than anything on TV!!! Keep the adventures coming!
This was a fun video! To add to your egg salad sandwich, I use plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise a bit of Dijon mustard and watercress and dill.
I didn't get all the ingredients in Luke's sandwich so it's possible I might have liked his best. Was that green onion I saw him chopping? that sounds great for egg salad sandwiches. I really do think that American name best conveys the idea of the sandwich.
You two are absolutely adorable ! Congrats Julie on that good ol' American coordination and bravo Vicount for that Glorious return. Love you both to the moon and back.
😂. That looked fun! Gave me a good laugh today. Julie is definitely spot on. Have to have some mustard in that salad. A little pickle or banana peppers are good too.
Thank you so very much for making me laugh! My mother was an avid follower of your channel(s). She passed in October of 2022, and I miss her dearly. She is the reason I am a subscriber, as I feel her while watching your videos. She adored you both. ❤❤❤
You both have your own personality, which you both respect and cherish about eachother .From love to competition to understanding to sweet arguments to being patient to sharing your own personal stories with each other ,touch wood,this is how I want my relationship to be and i will wait till I find someone like this .
Oh my goodness! As a writer, I just keeping thinking what a hysterical romantic comedy this would make (sort of an Emerson and Amelia type story in the Amelia Peabody mystery-style). Lol, the dashing Viscount offers to take her on a picnic, but the beautiful Lady Julie discovers it is more of a hazardous wilderness trek. He strides into the swamp with vigor while she follows behind, struggling with stinging nettles and the enormous picnic basket, and getting slightly more horrified by the minute. Lol. I love these two. Also, yes to a small amount of mustard in the egg salad, and yes to the digger. I can I can only imagine the drama that will ensue.
Then later Julie is the one to go over the bridge to the Island first. We never did see Luke try the Tarzan bit. My guess is that the vine wasn't sturdy enough to hold him.
lol @ " I don't think I needed the waders" this was so funny and Luke's voice got faster and faster the more anxious he was...this was like a "Carry on Sandwich" movie
She should wear them more often. They're practically her trademark look now! Seriously, Deltanord waders are very good value for the money and actually work out cheaper to buy than Le Chameau's wellies.
A visit to swamp island, complete with stinging nettles and flying insects! Such a perfect idyllic romantic outing! Uh, NOT! Bless you both (or actually, all four of you!) for having such a great sense of humor! I'll wait for the dredging and bridge building and nettle clearing first! Great video, and thanks for the head's up on Stephen and Claire's Scotland trip! Off to view it next!
I laughed so loud in this episode! You two & Camera folk are so funny! I’m laying here alittle under the weather so watched today. Hugs all from New Zealand 💛💐🐝🍯
I LOVE this, y’all crack me up! I am just loving all your videos, thank you so much for the entertainment and you have a beautiful home. I just absolutely love and enjoy the history
Thank you Luke and Julie (and Stephen and Claire). From the moment I saw this one on my TH-cam I knew it would be a corker. Romantic picnic! It was more like a trial of endurance,but most English picnics are. Picnics on TH-cam take place in Paris by the Seine or in one of the Parks or Jardins. The partakers are smart and attractive (you tick that box) and the food is crisp and delicious. The English picnics of yore I recall did involve trekking miles (or it felt like it) through brambles and nettles only to find all your food prepared at home that morning had gone soggy and unappetizing but you ate it anyway. This was fun. Be nice if you could tidy up a bit then maybe you could make a nice secluded picnic area for your visitors,be quite popular I would think. I went to see the white horse at uffington this weekend. I also tried to find Wayland's Smithy but as befits a magical place of mystery it was too elusive for me to find. I don't think I'm at the right spiritual level.🌳🌳🌳
Great job Luke getting back over the bridge. You two are so adorable. Julie I make my egg salad the same way but I also add in some relish. Give it a go. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I'm enjoying watching the elegant life of the British Aristocracy. Seriously though, the amount of responsibility involved in running a place like Mapperton was something I had not thought of before finding this channel.
What would be amazing would be a video on Lord Hinchingbrooke's mother and her story about her becoming a Countess and joining the family ... whenever I look at this channel all I think is what a lovely memories you are documenting for your children, grandchildren and family to come , to look back on. Another great Idea would be an interview with Lord Sanwich and his recollections as a child in the family and of some of the earlier relations he knew growing up !
We have just been watching your very funny and entertaining video and how you reached your 'island' to be able to have your picnic.Haven't laughed at a video so much in ages! Your picnic sounded amazing but we would not have used mustard in the egg mayonnaise! We will be watching Stephen and Claire's videos later. Congratulations on your Tube award! We just love all your Mapperton live and American Viscountess' lives' - so much more enjoyable than many TV programmes! Have recommended them to friends too! Please continue to make them as we love the historical interest ones too on Mapperton and other estates in the UK. Best wishes Christina and Nick Findell, Crediton, Devon UK.
To answer the question at 10:00 YES Julie should surely do the digging job at the silt. She already has her hip boots to do the job. She also needs a good pair of working gloves and an overall to prevent her of getting dirty. I am curious how the little stream will flow again into the pond. It might encourage other people to do a similar job at their streams.
The two of you are such a hoot! 😂 Julie, you are spot on with the egg salad...definitely a shot of mustard. NO to the celery! (sorry, Luke) It changes the entire taste and texture. Off to boil some eggs now!
Aaaughh! You have nettles! We had nettles in Washington State. I got “thwacked” really good a number of times! Bring wooden boards next time to float over that muck!
OMG! Luke getting stuck...I'm dying!!! LOL!
While I love the historical videos on Mapperton and restoring the manor, these fun videos and watching you two interact just make my day. As for the egg sandwiches, I am from the southern US, and our egg salad sandwiches have eggs, mayo, S&P, a touch of mustard, and a bit of sweet pickle relish.
🍁 i have never put mustard and relish in egg salad, i will have to try that.
Agree 💯% with the needed mustard and relish
Yes, touch of mustard and sweet pickle relish along with the mayo and S&P makes perfect egg salad
What is S&P?
Egg-cellent suggestion, this is how we do it in south Louisiana as well-spicy Creole mustard, a dash of cayenne, & heaping spoonful of homemade relish makes for picnic perfection (works for chicken salad, too!) We have hens so free-range eggs are always on the Bill of Fare.
You two are a “HOOT”❣️❣️❣️
I’m not sure how romantic this was, I can say without doubt it was an adventure.
I laughed and might have snorted a few times!
Most laughs I’ve had in a while! Thanks to the Ricky and Lucy of royalty! We love you for this and both egg salads looked delicious!
Ricky and Lucy! I love it! 👍🤣
One of my favorite ones of all your adventures. I really enjoyed all the snide comments to the camera!
Ricky and Lucy!! Love it!
"The Ricky and Lucy of royalty" is the perfect description for them.
Hilarious. You two are just wonderful. Thank you for the laughs.
Always can count on Luke and Julie to make us laugh. Loved this guys. 💕🇺🇸
Never a dull moment watching the two of you and your many adventures.🤣
Thank you so much for the best laugh I’ve had in a long time. You two are hysterical. 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
“Zing” 😂(a little mustard makes it 👍)!! You two are too funny and, Julie, I just love your speaking voice! Always so clear and articulate with humor added to it!
🤣🤣🤣that was all too funny 😂😂😂 oh Julie, “A really romantic picnic everybody” hahaha. That last mad dash by Luke was wild!😂😂
Great job all 4 of you with crossing on the logs! Your egg salad looked delicious!
OMGoodness!!!! This was soo funny. 😂😂 There’s never a dull moment with Luke and Julie.
I hope we can see that pond and stream restored. How delightful to have such an adventure on your own estate.
I agree! Would love to see the two of you (notice how I avoid using "you guys"--one of my pet peeves) working with a digger to restore the stream around the island. Silt actually is a great word for the fine sand/clay mixture that builds up to block the water flow. Mud or muck seems like a better term for the stuff that mired down you and the crew.
I laughed so hard even watching this the second time! My husband thinks I’ve lost it but the joke’s on him because I’m planning a trip from North Carolina so we can stay and visit Mapperton 😁
I feel for Julie. My husband would also think this was romantic. Well done Julie! 💚🇨🇦
Hilarious! Thank you for the funny episode, at your expense! I love seeing the funny interactions and natural reactions you have with each other!
you guys are lovely/adorable/quirky/hilarious - love all your adventures + Stephen & Claire's adventures - you are all more fun to watch than anything on TV!!! Keep the adventures coming!
Thank you!!!
You two are simply adorable. I appreciate the laughs, and love seeing more of the estate. Julie was very brave with approaching the calves.
The look on her face when he picked up the celery 🤣🤣. Don’t say tomato 🍅
This is a hilarious video.
That hard "t" sound at the end is so British and "Tomadough" is so American.
This was a fun video! To add to your egg salad sandwich, I use plain Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise a bit of Dijon mustard and watercress and dill.
This brought me a much needed laugh 😂 🤣 thanks for being so uninhibited ❤️
You are so welcome!
You guys are great together!!!!! Natural comedians at best❤️
Right up there with Lucy & Desi🤣
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your weekend👍🏻😊
I agree with Julie about the mustard. Though I do also add either sweet pickle relish or diced sweet pickle.
I agree and a dash of mustard and pickle relish is good with deviled eggs as well.
Same with me for both. I sometimes even use honey mustard for a sweet kick and sweet gherkins!
I like finely diced celery and onion, and bits of green olive
The more I see of Luke, the more I really like him. He’s soo funny and I LOVE the determination to get to the island!!!!!!!
You two are absolutely hysterical!! I’m with Julie on the egg salad. It’s all about what we grew up with eating. ❤️❤️❤️
So good!
I didn't get all the ingredients in Luke's sandwich so it's possible I might have liked his best. Was that green onion I saw him chopping? that sounds great for egg salad sandwiches. I really do think that American name best conveys the idea of the sandwich.
Always enjoyed your episodes with Stephen and Claire in front of the camera -- thank you for introducing us to their channel -- can't wait to watch!
Thank you Wallace! You can new join our adventures here: th-cam.com/users/stephenandclaire
Great episode! Happy every one made it to and from the picnic spot without any injuries!
Utterly ADORABLE ❤❤❤❤
More please 😁
Okay, that was hilarious! Good job, all four of you!
You can new join our adventures on our own channel here: th-cam.com/users/stephenandclaire
Yes, a zing of mustard in egg salad.😊 A little minced onion is good too. Luke, you got it right on peeling eggs, too. Love your videos, thanks.
Yes, a little mustard! Love your banter😍
You two are absolutely adorable ! Congrats Julie on that good ol' American coordination and bravo Vicount for that Glorious return. Love you both to the moon and back.
what a lovely vibe these two have together! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this video.
😂. That looked fun! Gave me a good laugh today. Julie is definitely spot on. Have to have some mustard in that salad. A little pickle or banana peppers are good too.
Laughed my socks off at the 'bridge' crossing and the way Julie screams all the time 😄
Thank you so very much for making me laugh! My mother was an avid follower of your channel(s). She passed in October of 2022, and I miss her dearly. She is the reason I am a subscriber, as I feel her while watching your videos. She adored you both. ❤❤❤
this is probably most awesome ,fun episode I watched. thank you for making me laugh so much..
You both have your own personality, which you both respect and cherish about eachother .From love to competition to understanding to sweet arguments to being patient to sharing your own personal stories with each other ,touch wood,this is how I want my relationship to be and i will wait till I find someone like this .

Also, yes to a small amount of mustard in the egg salad, and yes to the digger. I can I can only imagine the drama that will ensue.
Start writing, please. We need a new FUNNY sitcom.
I was laughing so hard I could not contain myself this was the best ever …U2 are great together!
Then later Julie is the one to go over the bridge to the Island first. We never did see Luke try the Tarzan bit. My guess is that the vine wasn't sturdy enough to hold him.
Julie and Luke, thank you for this! We could watch your channel all day! Love you two together!
Big fans in Canada
Y'all were so cute listening for the bird.
I am laughing out loud!!! You guys are so fun. No alligators…. Wonderful. 😂😂😂
Love it!!! Being from Wisconsin, I used mustard in my egg salad as well.❤
Love it!!
lol @ " I don't think I needed the waders" this was so funny and Luke's voice got faster and faster the more anxious he was...this was like a "Carry on Sandwich" movie
I know this is sponsored by Le Chameau, but thanks for wearing the Deltanord waders, very nice video.
Thanks for watching!
She should wear them more often. They're practically her trademark look now! Seriously, Deltanord waders are very good value for the money and actually work out cheaper to buy than Le Chameau's wellies.
Oh my gosh. You two crack me up. So darn funny. You had me laughing pretty hard with this video. Love your banter.
A visit to swamp island, complete with stinging nettles and flying insects! Such a perfect idyllic romantic outing! Uh, NOT! Bless you both (or actually, all four of you!) for having such a great sense of humor! I'll wait for the dredging and bridge building and nettle clearing first! Great video, and thanks for the head's up on Stephen and Claire's Scotland trip! Off to view it next!
I am just imagining your kids watching this in years to come & going... "Oh my gosh... What were they thinking?" 💛 In the sweetest way.
Oh dear I couldn’t spot laughing, romantic has a whole new meaning, bravo guys, you made it.
Love you guys!! You are so fun to watch!😂
A small bridge should be added to the projects list. The island is a lovely destination!
What riot!! There are so many lovely spots in the Mapperton Gardens for a lovely picnic. Interesting choice of this swampy island. This was fun.
I laughed so loud in this episode! You two & Camera folk are so funny! I’m laying here alittle under the weather so watched today. Hugs all from New Zealand 💛💐🐝🍯
That was GREAT! I would never have done this but you guys knocked it out of the swamp.
Julie exercising her American We Can Do It! spirit---you go gurl!
One of the best videos of you two yet!!! You go Julie with your bad ass self and egg salad sandwich!!! You guys rock!!
I’m in tears ! You two are the best …another Lucy and Ricki combo! Julie’s SCREAMS always throw me into outrageous laughter!
This was hysterical! I haven't laughed so much in a while. Priceless. So much for the risk assessment. 😂 💕
This was hilarious. Thank you. I was enjoying the American Viscountess videos, but this is even better. Your interactions are so much fun.
I LOVE this, y’all crack me up! I am just loving all your videos, thank you so much for the entertainment and you have a beautiful home. I just absolutely love and enjoy the history
Just love the two of you together...always entertaining and fun. I put mustard,mayo, and celery in my egg salad.
You just kill me! The two of you together are so 😜 silly
I absolutely loved this video ❤️✨❤️
What a wonderful couple ✨✨✨
Romantic lake picnic turns into swamp picnic!!😆too funny!!
What an adventure! I laughed so hard. Thanks for letting us join you on your picnic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Julie you also need a little diced scallion and fresh paper with that Dijon!
I never laughed so hard! Not near long enough you two. ❤️❤️❤️
My vote is for Egg Salad with Celery! Oh, and a little mustard. Funny video… my husband asked me why I was laughing. You two crack me UP
this is my comfort episode. I'd love to see the island when the water freezes around it 💚
Laughing so much made my day, bravo to both of you, you’re braver than me.
This was great! Loved it. If you open up that space though, those cows will be in that bog in no time!
Hysterical. Love your adventures
This was so entertaining Luke and Julie I was laughing all threw the video. Please do more of these fun and funny videos once in awhile.
Love watching the two of you!

Just a smidge on the mustard! Lol.
You two are so real and engaging! ❣️
A breath of fresh air! Thank you for maintaining pride in who you are . Sincerely Renae Ferguson / Texas 👵🏽🎶💜🙏🏽
A dash of curry in the egg salad mix adds another dimension. Yummmm😁
Yes! That was my M-I-L's secret. Also works with roast lamb to counter the gammy taste.
Great job Luke getting back over the bridge. You two are so adorable. Julie I make my egg salad the same way but I also add in some relish. Give it a go. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I'm enjoying watching the elegant life of the British Aristocracy. Seriously though, the amount of responsibility involved in running a place like Mapperton was something I had not thought of before finding this channel.
Vous êtes drôles et tellement adorables! Meilleure avant-première pour le sandwich aux oeufs 😎❤️🇨🇦
You two have to get a comedy show!
I would definitely watch that!!
Yes to a dash of mustard and also some horseradish sauce gives a little kick to the egg salad.
This was a ridiculous and hilarious endeavor. Well done!

Like Lucy and Desi in the movie The Long Trailer.. Hilarious.. 🤣😂🤣😂
Ive really enjoyed every single minute this episode!
To answer the question at 10:00 YES Julie should surely do the digging job at the silt. She already has her hip boots to do the job. She also needs a good pair of working gloves and an overall to prevent her of getting dirty. I am curious how the little stream will flow again into the pond.

This was truly so funny! Indeed I laughed too! Lots of love xxx
Aaaughh! You have nettles! We had nettles in Washington State. I got “thwacked” really good a number of times! Bring wooden boards next time to float over that muck!
Hope you both can be there for the digging!
Absolutely fun and funny adventures 👍🏼😂🤣❤️🕊️🥪
Fun, fun, fun! Egg salad sandwiches - LOL, I use both mustard and celery, with a bit of scallions, s&p. Sometimes a bit of dill or tarragon.
Yes Julie I make it the same way. 😉 I kept holding my breath each time you guys crossed. 🤣😂
😁
Roflol, not very romantic when you are getting ate up by mosquitoes! Hahaha 😆
I cracked laughing when we all got to see Luke’s crack!
