Does anyone else feel as though they’ve landed on a gorgeous television show that just teaches you the importance of looking at your life through a beautiful lense?!
I'm so happy that you feel this way!
Yes and so relaxing , Nicolas Is human glass bottle of Calgon after a hectic day ..... kudos .!.!!!
Absolutely!
Yes

It’s a wonder the TV don’t snatch you up Nicolas,or some home magazine.
Your channel is really a delight to watch.
Love your etiquette in all things nice.
Thankyou.
Thank you so much - that is really sweet of you! I'd love that! x
Sshhhhh....don't let our lovely little secret out yet. We want to keep Nicolas to ourselves for a bit longer lol!
@@stacythomas1587 exactly 😍
@@stacythomas1587 Also the lack of independent creativity is likely to happen. On TH-cam, you have that freedom.
He’s what we thought Martha was before she went to jail .... Nicolas is an uber elegant gentleman...!!!
You have certainly found your calling, darling! Please, please continue to brighten this world with your delicate, comforting presence, charm, talent, and all the wonderful things that makeup you. I so needed this today, you have no idea. It feels as though I am with a friend who is trying to cheer me up and heal my broken heart.
I pray that God heals you and makes you happy and at peace...May your days be filled with sunshine and laughter and contentment ,always..
You have a winning formula......high style, sumptuous esthetic, simple but delicious food, and not a trace of pretension or haughtiness! A recipe for success imho
Lol... totally!
So thankful for your kind comment - Thank you!
Absolutely Carolyn : )
This guy is like Liziqi to me. Such a relaxing person just living his life and not caring about what people may think. I strive to manifest a life like this.
Don’t we all wish we could squeeze in and join in on that luxurious picnic? ☺️
I had a long morning. My son had a medical procedure done. I could only wait in the lobby of medial building social distancing. I watched this video it was what I needed to calm me! Thank you for the delicious recipes. Easy to make! Beautiful looking picnic spread. You inspire us to enjoy the simple pleasures in life! So good to see all of you having a fun time. Sending hugs 🤗 from California. See you next Friday!
Hope the procedure was successful.
OMG !!!!!! THAT PICNIC SET UP LOOKS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING !!!!!! WOW
Thank you so much x
I vote yes, and I feel very strongly about these episodes being on HGTV. It's time that you are recognized to host a television show and a magazine. Everything about that picnic is thoughtfully perfection.
Nicholas is too sophisticated for HGTV. Yes?
@@carolhomick4467 😊 Yes indeed, Nicholas is gifted. I'm going to be right here to watch him soar pass HGTV.😁
I adore your smile. You are precious, wish you were my grandson. Excellent spread, great friends, food, and fun!
I wish he was my roommate
Always a pleasure to hear your voice and appreciate your perfect surroundings. Enjoy the lovely Sunshine
Thank you so much x
@@NicolasFairford 🙏🏻
The weather is rather nice lately, so I think it is time for a picnic. :) Thank you Nicolas. Also everyone: say YES to real cutlery, plates and glasses at a picnic!
I totally agree re the real cutlery, plates, etc
The beautiful outdoors, a taste of Summer, delicious food and enjoying some glorious freedom after a long year! This video brightens my day and gives us all hope! Beautifully done, Nicholas!
I know exactly how you feel! Hope it will get better soon x
That looks like the best picnic I’ve ever seen. Surprisingly you made everything look easy. I would have been thrilled to have been invited to your picnic. Well done Nicolas!
Wow - thank you!
I adore the way you use a paintbrush instead of a pastry brush. You are showing us all that there is always another way to do things. Thanks Nicolas for taking the time to share with us.
Carole from New Zealand. Be Happy.
Thank you so much Carole x
Glad you took Sophie with you. Getting together again is so wonderful. ❤️
I agree - thank you x
What a romantic setting! I think I just fell in love with this idea!
So glad to hear that x
I was thinking of doing a picnic with the family..you know, maybe sandwhiches, fruit, tea in a flask, all in a big red cooler and a blanket!! After watching the video, I definately need to turn it up a notch!! Love the cozy outdoor set up, the classic wicker picnic basket, the cushions and low chairs. Once it gets darker maybe I would add fairy lights..You created such a beautiful afternoon picnic. Thank you for the wonderful ideas as always.
Hello dear boy! Sending loves and hugs, from Massachusetts....Another beautiful video that makes my heart soar. God bless you dear boy, love, GRAM❤️🤍❤️
Your food is so beautiful for an afternoon tea party or a bridal or baby shower. So wonderful. Thanks for all your creative ideas.!!
Still in lookdown here......totally hell in the province of Quebec City....but sunshine and Nicolas videos keep me going.....
I thought i was doing well buying my wee picnic plates and lovely napkins. This is outstanding. You’ve set the bar high Nicolas...I’m going to enjoy putting the effort in to make mine wonderful.
@Loretta Moon, I can relate! This picnic setting has raised the bar on outdoor AND indoor dining!
Don’t sell yourself short. You can do anything you put your mind to and I bet your menu has/had more variety.
I'm sure your picnic was just as wonderful x x
Your wonderful combination of contemporary expression juxtaposed with classic styling along with a touch of endearing ASMR is inviting. Bravo!
Thank you so much for this!
Such lovely recipes..A perfect balance between British and Italian.nice to see Tracey and Sophie at the end. Overall a fine picnic setting 👏
Love the last shot of Sophie chillin near the blankets.
She loves being in the garden with the humans!
North Carolinian here! I want to move to your block so I can come to your picnics. Love you!
Thank you so much x
Nicolas, did you know the Friday you posted the video was actually National Picnic Day?! 🧺As always, your presentation is impeccable! Such a classy affair! Glad Sophie got to join in on the fun! 💕 Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
My brother is living in the UK for the first time after living in Queens, N.Y., so we have been sharing our various Spring weather experiences. (I live in Kentucky). I'm so pleased for all of you who can finally be outdoors in a cool, but bloom filled, park. Also, a huge Congratulations! for braving a difficult, but sucessful, lockdown. Bravo!
Life goes on post pandemic and with Nicholas nearby, it goes on beautifully!
I loved this gorgeous, peaceful picnic!! You are right, so easy to make a spectacular menu with easy recipes! Thank you for this beautiful, video it made my day!
Hello Lucia 🥰
This is perfect for a bridal shower, small wedding, ladies gathering or business opening, I could continue...FANTASTIC!!💖🦩
Would also make a lovely indoor brunch, don't you think? 🥰🥰🥰
Maybe even for a gentlemen's gathering...
I agree - it would be really fun for a number of occasions! x

With a hint of Regency as well! Jane Austen would be delightful!😁🌸✨🍾 Manicured garden, amazing weather in mid-April, better than in Costa Blanca😲! Thanks for the elegant, sophisticated experience. (lockdown is nearly over in May)🌷
It’s still freezing here in New England. It snowed yesterday. But I love your enthusiasm. It’s getting me in the mood for outside activities.
Gosh - still snowing? Hope it gets warmer soon! x
On lunch break wishing I could be at the park with my picnic basket just relaxing

Palm Desert, here!😀
@@carolcox684 Hello neighbor. Happy to see you. Be really grateful to have you on my channel. It's all about our beautiful desert life
Rancho in the house😄 I purpose the Fairford fanclub begins in Cali and we have our own Tea parties.
@@ethereal1257 Indeed ❤❤❤
Coachella loves Nicolas!
I love how the volume on your videos is not the loudest. Some might consider this an issue but in order to hear you, I'm forced to stop what I'm doing, be still and pay attention. You are perfect for an "anytime-of-the-day" break wth a cup of my fave Earl Grey tea. It's just lovely to be in "the moment".
Thanks for putting a positive spin on that! x
@@NicolasFairford I meant it as a HUGE compliment lol. Other videos are so loud it's like scraping nails down a chalkboard. When I watch your lovely vids, I feel like I'm in the English countryside and all my stress slips away.
Wow!...looking forward to seeing this because tomorrow it’s my daughter’s birthday and she wants a picnic Thank you for sharing 🤍
Happy Birthday to your daughter - I hope you have a lovely picnic.
Really lovely! Who wouldn’t enjoy that. I especially liked your Asparagus tart. You would enjoy a Vitamix
This was beautiful Nicolas! Great weather, delicious food and good friends-what more could you ask for. Thank you for this feast for the eyes and the soul. 🙏🏻❤️
Total pleasure x
I'm happy to see you use a lot of italian ingredients. Greetings from Rome :)
Italians do it best!
Oh Nicolas! You call this "simple"; in the U.S. we call it "five star"!
I read thru some of the comments and I couldn't agree more, I couldn't say anything as eloquently as they have. You SHOULD have your own TV show, you ARE talented, special, and charming, and you DO make my day special. Thank you!
Peaceful🌺Calm🌺 Beautiful... Yes! Thank you Nicolas🌿.. Always!
My pleasure!
A picnic with a fanciful flare! Oh you Brits know how to do it up right! Thanks for another post to inspire and entertain...from California where the sun is almost always a dependable guest at picnics.
How lucky to be in lovely, sunny California x
Nicholas Fairford is going to be a future national treasure like Mary Berry, calling it now
That is really so kind - thank you!
Absolutely love like always ❤️
Simply and absolutely LOVELY Do appreciate a well-planned picnic.
We appreciate you. We just wanna keep our houses clean, eat fresh food when we watch you.. Just wondering do you like champagne? Im just about to pop a bottle on a friday watching u

Hello Nicolas. As your gracious guest, I am delighted. Thank you.

The Primula on the Pictures behind you are blooming right now on my balcony. I love this Flower.
Sounds heavenly!
Oh my that was beautiful (like everything you do) and the picnic setting was the finishing touch. Thank you for another wonder video
What a blessing it has been to find your videos! I so enjoy every one and can feel the hectic pace of my life slow down. Thank you for sharing all that you do with us!
That beautiful picnic at the end just made me smile, I so enjoyed looking at that.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Nicolas, may I just say that you are the embodiment of refinement. It is so pacifying as well to watch you. Thanks indeed.
Before I even see the whole video I know it is going to be amazing! Thank you Nicolas!
Really kind - Thank you!
I love it, I would like to be there !! thank you Nicolas ❤️😍😘
I can visualise you being inundated with pastry brushes now Nicolas 😆
And some attachments to his food processor. Or maybe a new food processor altogether.
88,000 pastry brushes coming my way!
@@NicolasFairford 🤣
What a lovely picnic--and always nice to glimpse Tracy and Vanessa! 💕
So glad you enjoyed it!
I'm drooling not only at the food but the thoughtful and elegant setup. So beautiful! 😍

The Fortnum & Mason basket is a very nice touch to the picnic

This is the absolute perfect picnic 🧺🌷 Beautiful, relaxing and elegant! What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon.

Now that's a beautiful spread and setting.
Most awesome picnic I have ever seen !Every single food was scrumptious
What a wonderful picnic! You've really elevated picnic dining. I'm sure it was a lot of fun. Glad you enjoyed yourselves and the lovely weather. I WILL be making that asparagus tart. Looks delicious!
Very well behave doggy during the pic nic, and the most beautiful pic nic it was! Glad you had a great time, loved the recipes!
Love your videos, you really have such an amazing style and sophistication. The picnic wouldn’t look wrong on a royal picnic at Balmoral🏴 10/10 for talent 👨🏻🍳🍓🥗🍰
Wouldn't that be lovely! Thank you so much x
@@NicolasFairford you are very welcome. You have talent in spades . I have saved you videos as my go to for inspiration. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️
Nicolas I love to see how you inspire younger people to enjoy simple, delicious entertainment. I have sent this video to my 21 year old daughter for inspiration. Thank you . Keep doing beautiful things.
This video really helped with my recent mini baby shower picnic! I was so inspired and I wanted to thank you for sharing your recipes ❤️❤️❤️ Also I love dinner napkins, and your monogrammed napkins are exquisite! Where can I get napkins like that? Will you sell them on your website?
This is so lovely. I would be enchanted were I to be invited to a similar event. 🥰🥰🥰
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Excellent youtube videos, Mr. Nicolas Fairford. Fantastic job on capturing the beauty of Scotland. Fantastic job on filming & hosting.
Beautiful day, beautiful setting, delicious food. What more can we ask for? ❤️ Love the way you do things.❤️
Hello Susan 🥰
Hi Nicolas,
Yesterday evening your channel was in my recommendations , no doubt due to the alignment of my watching "Preppy Kitchen" for the past several days! I must say you certainly are a charming individual and I am thoroughly enjoying your content..I've watched at least 30 or so of your videos since yesterday. I have found myself in complete amazement at just how beautifully calm and exquisite you are and your approach to life. I'm a life-long Chicagoan (Chicago, Il. USA), your channel is a wonderful way for me to 'escape' the loud, obnoxious, hustle & bustle in which my daily life consists of. Thank you for creating beautiful and peaceful content 💙
Lovely! And with our handsome host and darling chef....👏 wonderful...classic elegance...super pretty layout
That setup looks absolutely awesome. After everything we’ve been thru the last year your channel is so comforting
It's so nice to hear that I can help in my own small way x
I'm really enjoying your videos, it's like a peeking into a beautiful world where everything is perfect.
Thank you so much x
You delightful young man! Everything you put together looks so effortless and simple, elegant and classy. Plus the picnic scene looks absolutely divine.
Magical! Just what we all need! Thank you!
Lovely picnic
Beautiful. Great to see Sophie out and about.
Thanks Nicolas.
I’m going to take my mom on a picnic for Mother’s Day here. Thank you for your wonderful recipe.
I live in Italy and am most at home strolling the Dorsoduro in Venice. Your attention to combing so deftly everything you approach, whether it be interiors or cuisine is quite remarkable. Grazie!
I am so hungry now!! I love this celebratory picnic! Makes you realize how our relationship with others are true treasures, worthy of a fancy feast ☺️
You are so right x
Ok, I’ve just added picnic ware to my “to-buy” list. I could, however, hold out for a certain someone to create a collection (hint, hint Mr. Fairford😉). Thank you for another beautiful and inspirational video. And in true New Yorker fashion, who is the miserable schmuck who gave this a thumbs down??? Get outa here...
Thank you Marion! Maybe one day I will bring out my own picnic ware x
Everything looks☀️ WONDERFUL...🌿🌱🍃
🇺🇸...
This is wonderful Nicholas! Your good taste and wonderful creativity continue to inspire. How lucky your guests were to enjoy such beautiful food!
So glad you enjoyed it!
What a lovely preparation! Since you’re Vegan I hope others brought something you could enjoy!💕
Thank you! I am not strictly vegan, I eat whatever I feel like at the time. I'm happy to have plant-based alternatives and be cruelty-free as possible x
Everything looks beautiful and delicious. Hope everyone had a fun filled picnic.
Thank you Nick! Great Posting! I enjoyed it. Sending you much Light and Love from California!!!
Thank you! I love California x
So beautiful! I will forever now pronounce sun dried tomatoes, as sun blushed! Way more delicious!
Sun blushed tomatoes are only partially dried, and are served in a jar like preserves. Sun dried tomatoes are fully dry with all water removed through the dehydration process.
How simple, but so special!
