STANDING IN C.S. LEWIS'S BEDROOM - LAST DAY IN ENGLAND 

The pride in Mike’s face when Andrew is talking about CS Lewis is so heartwarming x

This was just the best England trip ever. Thank you for letting us tag along.

I’m in England too and I love how you choose to visit the unspoilt places rather than the usual tourist traps! Well done for reminding me just how beautiful our country is 👍

At the risk of sounding like a creepy middle aged woman (I’m not creepy!) I am so impressed with Andrew! The way he thinks and expresses himself, his kindness and enthusiasm for life and learning make him such an attractive person. Plus he’s so cute!! I hope that you guys stay on RU-vid long enough for us to see the lucky young people who will pair up with your amazing children.

I'm a big CS Lewis fan, too. Greatness doesn't seem to come from grand gestures but from ordinary people moving forward in ordinary ways that somehow get noticed. It's important to improve our own corners of the world and our own selves in our own families. That is what makes greatness.

Love Andrew’s profound comment after the CS Lewis tour! Sometimes it’s just the simple things that bring about the greatest good! 📝

I found myself becoming very emotional at Andrew’s observations on creating grand works. I think my emotions come from a realisation that these ordinary people become conduits to a divine source that requires of them to bring fourth this work into the world.

Andrew is such an inspirational young man. We have been watching since the beginning and love all your children, and they are all special in their own way, but Andrew has such a uniqueness about him. He is a precious young man and will do great and mighty things for the Lord.❤

Can't thank you enough for taking us along on Andrew's trip!! Now I am anxious to see everyone at home and the house.

I love the sound of the English country side. Every time I hear the birdsongs, I immediately think of the opening scene in the movie Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley. Thank you for sharing all your travels and your life. I love watching your channel and your lovely family. I love Andrew's excitement over history, especially of his favorite authors. He described the way I would feel over the history of people and things I love.

I loved your England Series. Beautiful Scenery, churches, beautiful videoing and editing and great story making. You have such a nice relationship with each other. The videos were very calming. I have to admit though I am so anxious to see the progress on your house. Your trip to England was a very nice interlude from the stressful pace of your cottage renovating.

Years ago when we visited The Kilnes, I was carrying my very heavy and sleeping 2 year old. The tour guide told me to just put the baby in Mr. Lewis’s bed since the door to the house was locked anyway. So that is a bit of story in our family. Like Andrew, I was struck by the ordinariness of CS Lewis’s home. Mike oblivious about the Emma movie…I mean, the man was probably at Home Depot 9 of 10 times Eve was watching that movie. And then the part about returning to the Cotswolds for the dessert. 🤣. Loved it!!!

When you live in such a beautiful country you become used to it and often forget just how gorgeous it is. Thank you for reminding me. I am fortunate enough to live completely surrounded in history. Mainly Naval history with HMS Victory, the Mary Rose etc but also a lot of stunning historic places. I worked in Gunwharf Quays when it was being developed from an old ammunition base and then moved across the water (to my hometown of Gosport- Gods Port) to Royal Clarence Yard which made all of the bread etc for the war ships and I loved listening to the archaeologists stories when they told us and showed us what they had found during the excavations and searching in the old historic buildings. I even got to stand under the railway bridge which stored Queen Victoria body overnight when she was taken from her home on the Isle of Wight to London. It had a very spooky feel to it. That bit of track is still there along with a small section of the bridge. My children have grown up with us taking them to all of the wonderful places around us but now I feel that we need to revisit all of these places and start to investigate further afield. Xxx

Thank you Andrew for choosing this as your Senior trip! It would be a dream trip for me and I have loved every minute you have shared.

Thank you so much for taking us along on your amazing trip! I am awe struck by these videos. A place I always wanted to go, but never was able to . Now I am a Great Grandma and unable to travel. So thank you again for being our wonderful travel guides !! Love, hugs and prayers from Kansas

I tell you - - best Senior trip ever!!! Everything was so English and wonderful. I’m partial to England and have been many times but your locations I’ve never seen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a treat to end a stressful day at work with a Knorpp video from England. I just love the English countryside. What a beautiful area. As a kid, I collected David Winter cottages because I was (and still am) intrigued by English cottages. Glad you enjoyed the scenery, the history, and the food!

Oh my goodness! i laughed out loud when Andrew made the comment about Mike’s silly Dad comments because it was so relatable and even laughed out louder when Mike took his first bite of Sticky Toffee Pudding and the dramatic music played 😂… so funny 😆

What a joy Andrew's senior trip has been! x

Mike was the star of this video. Sticky date pudding, jam and cream scones. It's all about the food. My husband says that food is the sixth love language. Andrew's talk about ordinary people who wrote extraordinary books that influenced the world was inspiring. Wow. I'm so glad Megan got to see some English homes (CS Lewis and Jane Austen) and I'm sure we'll see that influence more of her decisions in creating her family home. Outstanding content. I love your channel. Wholesome, interesting content. I think you are an extraordinary family living life to the fullest. Giving each of your children rich experiences. Family goals right here. xo

The look on Mike's face listening to Andrew was priceless!

Thank you for reminding me what a beautiful place England is, I live here and alway forget just how wonderful it is. Hope you all throughly enjoyed your trip. xXx

Thank you for enjoying our variety of different foods we have on offer, especially our puddings which are bad for the waist line, did you put on any weight. Hope your trip lived up to your expectations.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

I am an old English born boy, and even though i have been to many of the villages in the Cotswolds, i got a little bit emotional watching this video. We do live in a beautiful Country, but to see it through the eyes of visitors was very interesting, i'm afraid most of us take our country for granted, always looking to travel abroad, Looking for a bit of guaranteed sunshine mostly. Thank you all for a lovely video.

"In a little room with a little pen, scribblings on a piece of paper, a little person in a little place can produce such amazing things but it's also kind of humbling". Well said Andrew 🌻🏵🌼🌺🌳Beautiful countryside

Andrew! Loved your realizations and hearing your thoughts after you toured CS Lewis’ house. Also, I hope that every time that you watch this video back, it’s a reminder of your dad’s deep pride in you - completely visible on his face and his concentration on your every word. Well done on this trip, Megan and Mike!

What an young man to be proud of.

England is a movie set daily. It is an amazing place!!

C.S. Lewis "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

Andrew speaking brought me to tears!!! He’s so right! 🥹

Lol I grew up in Temecula, California so I see hot air balloons all the time. It's been a while since I thought about how cool they are. They are really cool! It's nice to get a reminder to appreciate them. During covid, I used to wake up really early so I could take walks and see them. There were hardly any cars going by and it was so quiet and peaceful to watch them during my morning stroll walking my cocker spaniel, Zoey. It was the life.

You have a clued up kid who understands history and culture.

Oh my gosh….English Countryside, absolutely beautiful!!! Those meadows, sheep and cottages along with the English gardens are amazing!! Thanks for the piggyback rides through those villages! Now I too, want to walk those streets and experience the beauty of England. Welcome back home in USA now! God bless y’all. ❤❤❤CarrieJo/NC

If Andrew has never been up in a hot air balloon, he should do it!!! An awesome experience. We were up for one hour years ago in PA. If we were able, we’d do it again! Loved the tour! Beautiful.

Your trip to England has been so magical! Now I need to go back as an adult and go see these villages as well. We went when I was a kid to pick up one of my older brothers who served his mission in Englad/Wales. We saw London, Stone Henge etc, but he took us around to other spots that aren't tourist traps which were beautiful.

I was laughing so much with Mike and the sticky toffee pudding!!😂😂The music and the happiness!!❤❤

Andrew is such an intellect. I'm so impressed by how he thinks and articulates. I love how he values people and their accomplishments. Such a great young man you should be so proud of him and yourselves for raising such an amazing young man. Mike deserves a few of those treats for all the hard work he's put in over the past few months. I'm glad to see him looking more refreshed and relaxed. Megan can't wait to see your version of this dessert.

It's so beautiful and enchanting! It's like the land that time forgot! Amazing! Thank you for bringing us with you!

To think that C S Lewis was born over here in Northern Ireland, thanks for letting us see his home in England ❤

Thank you for reminding me that our churches are so beautiful, we tend to take it all for granted x x

This was an amazing trip for an amazing young man! Thanks again for taking us along. I love that you go to out of the way places to explore! Safe travels home!

Thank you for coming to England. You are very welcome back anytime. Stay safe.

I’ve watched your family since before you left on the RV trip. It’s crazy how fast the kids are growing up. But o too loved this series. But o love everything your family puts out. But I had to chuckle thinking back to the grief you used to get from the haters about the term unschooling. No one can ever say your children were not schooled. Andrew is so well read, and all of the kids are so well rounded. Great job! Even though it’s sad to see them grow and leave it’s great to watch them come into their own and be the amazing people you two raised them to be.

Andrew, I appreciated your thoughts on CS Lewis. Words to think by. I have ancestors from England. These videos brought goose bumps as I thought of the possible steps my family had traveled.

I love your music selections

I absolutely love the little bits of humor that you sprinkle in your videos

You are just the sweetest family and I can’t get enough of your traveling videos. Your kids are so bright and you’re all so close, you’re an inspiration.

This was a very respectful and beautiful look at a small part of the UK as seen by other eyes.

Loved the English series. I could FEEL the awe in Andrew for his senior trip more so than any other.

Thank you for taking me to the wonderful England and showing me such beautiful places and delicious food❤️❤️❤️

Amazing.. I took my daughter to London in December 2022 …we took a tour to Oxford, Warwick castle and Shakespeare birth town …we had a blast I miss the UK looks like you guys had an amazing time… thanks for sharing ..

Oh my goodness, I have just loved watching your videos on your trip to England, and to see Andrew so inspired, just magical x

I loved seeing where CSLewis went to church.

One of the places I want to visit if my husband and I ever get over the pond is the estate of Mapperton. I’ve been watching the American Viscountess here on RU-vid and Mapperton looks amazing. It too has had some of the Jane Austen movies filmed there. 🌈🙂💖🐈🐈‍⬛

Thank you many times over for sharing this trip. You have taken me to places I will never be able to visit. Saw your beautiful fish & chip dinner, had the sticky toffee pudding, and visited so many wonderful, beautiful places. I just don't have the words to tell you how much I enjoyed it. Y'all have a Blessed day.

I’ve so enjoyed coming along with you guys to England. I would love to visit there too, some day. As much as I’ve enjoyed the videos, the music you guys have chosen to go along with the videos has been absolutely perfect and beautiful! You guys rock!!!

You have raised thoughtful children. Well done! Have a safe trip home.

You had a wonderful trip! Andrew clearly drew inspiration from CS Lewis' home, work, study and living spaces. Glad you were able to tour there. That sticky toffee pudding sounds yummy.

We don’t get loopy when Mike has the camera…😆. Sorry Megan…. The songbirds were so peaceful to listen to❤️

wow.. beautiful... what an amazing trip...Andrew is an amazing young man.... All the kids, growing up so fast...

Andrew is so knowledgeable about England but I am especially impressed with his views regarding C.S. Lewis and his great works and the fact that he addressed the humble humanity of someone who profoundly impressed him. Well done Andrew and well done Mom and Dad.

Mike's face had me tearing up at how he was admiring Andrew!!!

If I had the money, I'd be on the first, first-class seat to the UK and go to all those wonderful places. Looked ah-mazing!

So beautiful and green! Thank you for sharing this! It's like a virtual vacation. LOL!!!

I absolutely loved this video, I was born in England, you did an amazing job sharing the history and beauty. Thank you...

The drink advertisement 😂 love it!

Andrew is such a remarkable young man, I am sure he will do great things in his life

Thank you for all the lovely films you have made here in the UK. I live in West Devon. I have loved watching your travels, your filming and dialogue. Well done to Andrew and lovely to see how much you all got from the whole trip.

I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face. This trip has touched my heart. "It's kind of extraordinary that such normal people that live such normal lives in such normal rooms can do such great things." *Andrew Knorpp* My new favorite quote.

I love how you go on trips with each one of your kids at certain stages. Or ages this was totally awesome❤❤❤

As an english person was a delight to see how much you enjoyed your trip ❤

Another amazing video. Watching Andrew is like watching my son 5 years in the future. It is encouraging and inspiring. Congrats on Graduation Andrew! 🎉

I think you too are extraordinary Andrew,❤ God bless you and yours, Love, jenwhite

PLEASE read for Andrew my recommendation below. First off, You all are so my kind of people. I love you all. And thank you for this AMAZING MAGICAL VIDEO SERIES OF ENGLAND, JANE AUSTIN & C.S. LEWIS NOSTALGIA. I watched more than once. Andrew gets it, simple people with big hearts/ big wisdom/ gentle or educated thoughts, they create the greatest works of literature & then they become big too. It shows everyone has greatness in them in some way to open the door to achieve & find true potential. Know Thyself. This geared to Andrew- I too a writer, & love of literature, & calligraphy writing too, you should start collecting fountain pens & ink & write the way it was done in Austin & Lewis Era. The feel of a beautiful flexy nib on quality paper like they used to have back then....nothing else like it. Then spending more & getting vintage nibs or fountain pens, writing on Tomoe River, Clairfontaine or Rhodia etc paper with high quality wet ink. The writing FEELS AMAZING TOO. Pen gliding beautifully on beautifully coated high GSM paper with a wonderful good ink flowing wet out of the flexy nib , words flowing like butter & silk from thought heart & Wisdom onto page... Mom & Dad, get Andrew a very good fountain pen with good ink and a good paper. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING ANDREW THESE: 1. Pilot Iroshuzuki INK in any shade, they've many.. 2. A Conklin Duragraph fountain PEN with a 1.1 mm stub nib, an AMAZING WRITER! Comes with ink converter. 3. A Leuchtturm1917 Hardback with elastic closure (for finished pages etc) it's a journaling or BOOK WRITING NOTEBOOK with 200+ pages that are bleed through proof to the back and excellently coated for writing like silk. They have a beautiful ivory vs white to the page, lines, blank, (or dot grid for calligraphers, my fav)...pair that with a brown ink too for a vintage look. This will all set you back near $100. BUT MAKING THAT MAGIC HAPPEN FOR ANDREW, A WRITER ...MAKE THE FEEL OF THE EXPERIENCE SO MUCH MORE MAGIC & THE FINAL PRODUCT OF THE WRITING A THING OF BEAUTY BEFORE EVEN READING THE WORDS. ALSO- There are BEAUTIFUL shimmer sheening multicolor sparkling pearling inks in say Harry Potter Gryffendor colors or purple silver gold combo or brown with bronze & gold shimmer...Endless color sheen sparkle options. So many color combo options there. My fav are Galaxy by Fountain Pen Revolution (FPR), J. Herban Emerald Chivore, or Wearingaul Jong Yun Du in Starry Sky, an orange yellow gold ink. Writing with THOSE specialty inks on amazing paper with quality pen/nib...OH THE BEAUTY OF IT. MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR ANDREW TO INCREASE THE MAGIC OF FINE WRITING FOR AN UP & COMING ADULT WRITER ......P.S. IT'S WHAT AUSTIN & LEWIS EXPERIENCED WRITING, because back then it was quality instruments vintage nibs, ink, & paper BEFORE mass produced to throw & toss convenient pens & thin GSM papers to sell cheap ...which progress is nice, but once you know true OLD, SCHOOL writing ✍️ ✒️📃🪶 & how it FEELS & LOOKS....as a writer.... Take the experience further. I also love wax stamps sealing letters/envelopes. It's JUST LIKE THIS- in your video, eating the WORST sticky toffee pudding daily & being used to it & then finding the Sticky Toffy Pudding of Mike's DREAMS😊, & going back to THAT as the preferred S.T.P. as none other compare or hold a candle to it. Heaven!! Oh i hope you GIVE THAT GIFT TO ANDREW with my recommended pen/nib, ink, & paper for his next birthday or a 'just because' gift. HE WILL LOVE IT!!! (And want to write even more)! He COULD write that number one best seller with that, via ordering more notebooks ...3 of the high quality Lech journals with high quality paper would be 1200 pages (front & back) or 600 pages without writing back side of page so as not to risk ghosting/bleed through from the prior page. Rhodia Webnotebook is identical to Leuchtturm1917 but made for fine nibs .38 to .50 vs broader smoother nibs like a 1.1 stub. Which 1.1 can hold specialty inks & not clog the bigger nib. So you want Leuchtturm1917 as it's GSM in the paper is a little bit thicker. OPEN THIS DOOR TO ANDREW: 🎉 FINE PENS, FINE NIBS, FINE INKS, FINE PAPER. THEN LET ANDREW WRITE LIKE MAGIC. 🎉❤✨️🌈😇📝 ✨️⚜️✒️📃🪶👑✨️ P.S. Japanese pens, ink, Maruman brand papers are AMAZING along with French clairfontaine paper, J. Herban inks & British & German top brands of fine writing tools etc. Conklin uses the German Jowo nibs. So any of their top brands. And, Japanese Jinhao fountain pens are GREAT AFFORDABLE entry pens in the BENT NIB, broad FUDE PEN catagory made for holding specialty inks on a budget. They'll set you back $20 for the pen vs $60 for the Conklin Duragraph 1.1 stub. But oh get the Duragraph first. It's just magic! And best budget friendly $80 pen typically found on sale on Prime for $50 to $60. It writes like a $400 Pilot pen OR a creme de le creme Montblanc. When Andrew gets his best seller published, he can get a Montblanc pen. 😊😊

In the old houses you will see that the downstairs windows are " normal " were as the upper windows are narrower and taller , this is because the spinners had their machines upstairs and used to spin the Cotton and wool while downstairs is were the family used to sleep and live . The older housing you see that are long but not so high but only have one door on the front are usually 2-3 houses ( if not more ) knocked into one for modern day living .

I did enjoy the sounds of nature as ya'll walked down the path. You were right, and I'm so glad you didn't record music for the walk down the path.

I feel like I have watched your boys grow up while I have been watching my own boys grow up. Love Andrew's thoughts on the small home of CS Lewis and how such great works came from that. Made me think of the scripture, "that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass." Alma 37:6

Oh this might be one of my favorite trips with your fam. I love to see inside Andrew’s thoughts. You have been able to grow creative thinkers. And a beautiful family. Thanks for the sneak peek in places I will never get to go. I could almost smell the mustiness of the buildings and rooms.

Andrew is destined for great things.

Another incredible video! I seriously love England! Now can't wait to get back to the house transformation!

Sticky toffee pudding is my fav, well done Mike.

What a fantastic vlog, showing me around my own country… been to York.. but the rest is amazing!!! Try Bakewell next time in Derbyshire… the pudding is gorgeous… hope you find a suitable recipe for sticky toffee pudding too, may have asked the pub kitchen you ate at? Glad the weather was kind too you most of the time… so enjoy your Vlogs and thank you for taking us a long with us too :)

Awesome love C.S. Lewis and J.R. Tolkien, Tolkien was born in South Africa.

Awesome trip. Thanks for taking me along.

Loved every moment of this journey.! You all look so relaxed and content. I’m joining the bandwagon to say I too am impressed with Andrew. Such confidence and goodness that streams from him.

Beautiful scenery! It's just so peaceful and serene. I would enjoy seeing all of England 🥰

Even though I live in England I have enjoyed all of your videos so much such a blessing thank you for sharing your safe journey home although I think you must be home by now!

I love Andrew's passion for books and the authors, this whole video made me smile. I feel the same about J.R.R.Tolkien, my father gave me his book The Hobbit when I was 12yrs old and said that this book will change my life and it did. It was the start of an amazing adventure and journey into a new world. Books are magical.

Thanks for sharing your trip

Awesome Tip. Thank You for taking Us with You’ll.

Glad you enjoyed my childhood area….I grew up near Stow-on-the-Wold in a little Cotswold stone cottage and my ancestors for over 300 years lived in that area too. 💚🧡

Thank you for sharing! I will dial this series up whenever I’m in need of green tranquility. ❤

Oh Wow, wonderful video!! Ty so much for sharing 💓

That was fabulous! I must go to some of those places you visited. Broadway is my favourite Cotswold town but it’s beautiful around there. Really enjoyed these videos, hope you can come back soon. Love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The Sticky Toffee pudding I had in England was amazing too!

I am sooooo appreciative and thankful for these videos that you are sharing. Much love !

Deliah Smith’s recipe for sticky toffee pudding is a good one. I’ve never made it myself but I’ve eaten and enjoyed it on several occasions as it’s one of my friends specialities. I remember that walk between upper and lower Slaughter from my childhood when we stayed in the area.

Thank you so much. So enjoyed this one.

I am a huge C.S.Lewis fan also ❤

Really enjoyed your English travels. Thank you so much.
