- Come along to one of my absolute favourite places, Erddig at Christmas time. Wander the gardens, the inside and the bookshop… and see what books I somehow seemed to acquire. Hopefully something festive for you on Christmas Eve Eve. Sending you all lots of love and wishing you all a very, very Merry Christmas. #vlogmas #christmas #bookish #erddig

That close up of Chris’s mouth while he was eating the scone was diabolic, Simon 🤣. Merry Christmas
😈🤣
Hahahaha. Oops.
Savidge shenanigans are the best, your trip so beautifully edited, and such a joy to watch! Wishing the two of you a very merry Christmas!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this. I wish you and yours a very very merry Christmas.
Fabulous festive trip 🎄👍☺️

God Jul Simon! Your channel have been an absolute joy to me this year. Hope you have a wonderful Jul (as we say in Sweden)! ❤🎄
Thank you. That’s lovely to hear!!! And a very, very Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Absolutely lovely to see the stately homes of England. Keep the videos coming we hear in the states are gonna need them in the coming years.
I wish there was more I could do but hopefully some escapism, sometimes to the occasional stately home, and cheerful chatter will help. Though let’s also allow ourselves to not think about ‘all that’ occasionally too. I am a big fan of occasional temporary denial.
Thanks for a lovely and chrismassy video!
A pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re such a beautiful couple you both. Wishing you both a merry Christmas ❤❤
And a very, very Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Absolutely love Chris’s dry sense of humour ❤
Dry senses of humour are some of my favourites. Though I also really love an innuendo.
Merry Christmas, Simon! 💚❤️
And to you and yours 🎄🎄

What a lovely day, rain and queuing and all!
It was a grand festive day out!
NEVER too much Savidge shenanigans ;)
Hahahaha. I dunno it’s been A LOT more than usual lately 😉
What a lovely festive treat! Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 Simon.
And to you too!!!
Loved this, watching this whilst making my nut roast for Xmas dinner 😊
Oooh lovely. Hope you’re having, or have had, a very Merry Christmas.
Loved the queue..as you say so British. Happy Christmas. 🎄
A very Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
Happy Christmas! I'm missing you already . Thank you for all the lovely videos and chats and can not wait till the new year. X 🎉
Missing me? I’m not going anywhere. Haha. And there maybe a video (or even two) before the new year!!!
Merry Christmas to you, Chris and the kitties. Such a lovely vlog. The gardens were beautiful. Looks like Chris really enjoyed that scone 😆
So pleased you enjoyed it… hopefully as much as Chris enjoyed that scone. Hahahaha.
Well this was lovely. I’ve just added Erddig to my list of British places I must visit, despite the lackluster food. Can I just say that I am also a cream then jam scone person and also that the music you chose for your stroll around the grounds was perfect. The whole vlog was a perfect lead in to the holiday. Happy Christmas to you and to Chris!
I’m sooooo pleased you enjoyed it. Music picking is sooooooooo hard for vlogs. It’s the bit I spend the longest on… and that’s saying something cos I am quite finickity with the video content. And of course you’ll do Erddig as we will go together… arguing about In Memoriam all the way 🤣 Hope you and your family have a fabulous Christmas Cindy!
@ Until we find the next book to argue about!!!
The Christmas trees were so beautifully decorated and the garden looked immaculate. What a lovely way to enjoy the festive spirit just before Christmas Simon. Yes, too bad about the food but Chris looked like he was enjoying his scone! Lol😂 Enjoyed this video Simon and wish you and Chris a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and fun New Year as well😊🎄🎉🎩
Oh the scones were great, just needed them to be a bit more equal in size. Hahaha. Such a stunning place and the decorations were wonderful! Wishing you a very very very Merry Christmas Taneese!
Merry Christmas 🎄 😊
And a very Merry Christmas 🎄
What a beautiful day out. Always a joy to tag along (rain and queueing mandatory, I feel, lol). I read Boys don’t cry about a month ago and loved it. Think I might be done with reading for the year too. Just finished Stay another day btw and it was so good, thank you for the rec!
- Wishing a lovely Christmas to you and yours too🎄
Sooooooooo glad that you enjoyed Stay Another Day. It’s possibly my favourite Christmas book ever… and needs to be a movie. Glad you enjoyed the trip out. Hahaha.
I went to Erddig with my younger brother earlier this year - he lives not too far away - and it was lovely 😊 I could just imagine Mr Darcy climbing out of the lake/pond. I remember my brother saying “you know you’re getting old when you love to walk around a nice garden!” 🤣
I don’t think that’s getting old lol. I just think that’s enjoying nature and fresh air. And Erddig has such a wonderful garden too, in all seasons.
À very Merry Christmas to you both with lots of Christmas cheer 🎉
And a very, very Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Lovely to have a day out with you and Chris 😁 I read Boys Don't Cry in 2022 and loved it. Merry Christmas 🎄
I’m looking forward to getting to it… just as soon as my desire to read comes back! Eek.
It is great that people do visit the National Trust properties. Merry Christmas to you and Chris xx
And a very, very merry Christmas to you and yours too 🎄
Really enjoyed your travel vlog and the decorations inside the historical house.The gardens looked glorious however chilly! Hope you have a happy Christmas from sunny, blue skies in Australia.
And a very, very Meery Christmas to you and yours!
Have a wonderful Christmas Simon. It’s been lovely finding you right at the end of this year ❤
Awww that’s lovely to hear. Thank you! Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas Simon, thank you for all the wonderful book recommendations.
A pleasure. Thank you for watching. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful holiday.!
And a very, very Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Happy Xmas Simon and Chris 🎄🎅🏻
And a very Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas to you both and the kitties 💕
And a very, very Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Great. Now I want scones. Well done :)
Ha. Hope you manage to sort that craving!
🎄✨️🎄
🎄🎄🎄
Rain. Visiting a National Trust property. Queuing. Hoping for scones. All you needed was a cuppa tea to make that the most British video ever. 🫖🤣
Oh there was tea with the scones. But that was dishwater tea and I refused to film it.
@@SavidgeReads Outrageous! My late mother used to cause me embarrassment at restaurants by sending back the tea if it wasn’t up to her standards. I have become my mother. 😆
Scone-gate 😂
There’s no scone gate. Just a right way (my way) and a very wrong way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best (fruit) scone I ever had was at The V&A a few years back - yum 😋
Such a great vlog. But shame about the food. I read Lily earlier this year and really enjoyed it. The blue cover is very striking.
I’m really looking forward to reading Lily at some point over the winter months ahead.
What's happened to Mildred and Oscar? Do they live in a different part of your house to the new cats? Are they okay? Happy New Year to you all, two and four legged.
They are both fine. They all rotate rooms depending on their moods and who is in charge or talking to who nowadays hahaha. I may do a cat update at the start of the new year.
@@SavidgeReads Cats are very territorial. It must be distressing for Oscar and Mildred to have two new cats move in.
@@heddwchmerched1918 do you really think I would do something to distress the two cats we have? That’s kind of insulting.
@@SavidgeReads My apologies, no insult intended, you obviously love your cats.
