Jörg and I chose a tiny and charming English cottage in the beautiful Cotswolds for a weekend getaway.

So you step right into the cosy sitting room and of course we had to make a fire and use the wood burner.

This cottage was built around 1750 and the moment you enter it you feel like in the film

It's one of our favourite films, we watch it every single year.

It's such a cosy space, I absolutely love it.

And there's wonderful artwork in here as well.

For example this is my favourite painting, I wish we could buy it, it's so beautiful.

And the wall colour is from Little Green, I thought I would share that.

It's really great for smaller spaces and it's more neutral but the funny thing is it changes its tone depending on the light.

Sometimes it's more brown than grey, sometimes even green.

I always love the window seats in these old cottages.

As you can see we have a TV but we never watch TV when we're on the road.

You find a lot of quirky and well, antique furniture.

By the way this cottage has such a beautiful old limestone floor, so much character.

This is the small but very lovely kitchen.

And this is also Portland Stone on the wall.

We have an aga here, this is an electric aga but it's wonderful.

Gorgeous windows and this is a breakfast nook.

There's something really unique here in the kitchen.

These two panels are supposedly from the Cutty Sark, the famous clipper ship from the 19th century that was built exclusively for the China tea trade.

So a tub with an integrated shower, then the toilet but I must say they really made great use of this space so yeah.

I will show you my favourite room after I've shown you the bedroom because it's my favourite space.

It's absolutely beautiful and I'm sure you will fall in love with it as well.

But you need to see the handrail here first because I've never seen anything like it.

It's actually quite spacious, very big and comfy bed and the unique thing in here is the headboard because this is an original champagne riddling rack and its purpose is to hold bottles of wine during the process of making sparkling wine so yeah, that's really interesting.

Shabby chic furniture and this colour, this deep blue is little green, navy blue.

So there's actually plenty of space, I was surprised by this to be honest.

I love this chest of drawers with the gorgeous mirror and the entire cottage has this um, heavy linen fabric that I really like.

It's simple but it suits a cottage like this so so much.

Now comes my favourite room in Artists Studio.

We have the most beautiful little patio or courtyard, it's so romantic, I think it is.

And we have glorious sunshine so we can sit outside later to enjoy a cup of tea.

But now you need to see my favourite room.

So that's the so-called Artists Studio but you can, I well, I would use it as an office.

So it has the same uh, shade of blue as their bedroom, navy blue from little green.

My goodness, I'm so in love with this room.

Look at this, there's even a little watch burner.

I love this painting and if you're tired from all the painting or drawing or well, just working on your laptop, you can rest here on the chairs long.

So at the end of the day, although the cottage is tiny, I think having this space makes it so special.

I know I say it all the time but we always pick, we always pick places that we absolutely love so it's not surprising, is it?

So a while ago we stumbled upon this stall, Bramble Heath Roadside Stall.

On the internet, I think on Instagram and we thought we just have to come.

I love your dahlias, they are so gorgeous.

I'm just gonna go turn the diamonds over and then we'll come back.

Of course, don't worry, we'll have a look.

So this gorgeous little stand is run by Kate and she sells fruit and vetch, eggs.

We stepped out of the cottage and it's raining.

The blue cakes are because I did a Tiffany birthday cake.

I don't normally make bright blue cakes but that's why they're in there today.

They're not got, they haven't got a filling in but if people want them filled, I can rush inside.

It's good that people come and they see them here.

We're on our way back to the cottage and Jörg, how excited are you about the donuts?
