2021-01-05 11:13:48 +0000 UTCHappy new year Jon! I am so proud to be able to help you with Patreon. Please don't get discouraged - Believe me I understand what it takes as an audio engineer-producer to create art (and you do create art). You bring history to life, and are an anchor in rough seas. Those who do NOT understand history and learn from its mistakes are doomed to repeat them, That is WHY history was (and I hope still is) taught in school!!!!! Love you!!!! Stay safe and please please all you OUR whole family - stay well.

2021-01-01 21:14:48 +0000 UTCThank you for all the work you and the team do! My husband and I have been re-enactments for over 30 years and have so enjoyed the videos that were a breath of fresh air in 2020. He passed in October and again your videos helped me through this hard time. Our “date” at the Nutmeg Tavern, with our Nutmeg mugs is something I treasure and look forward to each week. Thank you for this.

2021-01-01 13:05:17 +0000 UTCYour channel is a source of calm in a truly tumultuous world, especially this year. Everyone on the team is absolutely spectacular, and talented, and truly special. I thank you all for the effort and hard work you put in for us. Happy New Year - may it be safe, healthy, and prosperous for all!

2021-01-01 03:22:56 +0000 UTCJon, there aren't words to say how much you and the whole Townsends team mean to me. Your dedication to history and to always deliver family-friendly content in social media platforms that are anything but family-friendly these days is a testament to your integrity and character. The channel is indeed a bright candle shining in the darkness of crazy times, and your constant desire to go the extra mile to keep history alive and exciting is appreciated more than you know. I pray everyone at Townsends has a blessed, safe, and healthy 2021. God Bless.

2021-01-01 01:53:22 +0000 UTCGotta say--the $10 a month I give on Patreon is probably THE best monthly investment I make in any online content (that includes Netflix)!! Huzzah! And just want to echo what everyone else here has said in thanks to you and your entire team--and to wish you all a productive and not TOO busy 2021 (you need breaks just like all of us!). Stay healthy, stay warm and looking forward to what you all come up with!

2021-01-01 00:45:02 +0000 UTCGod bless you and yours. You have made my year so much better. I came across your channel a few years ago and was one of those who would watch every once in a while. Of course now I’m hooked. You all rock!!!!!

2020-12-31 22:38:44 +0000 UTCThank you, Jon, for all of the time and hard work. It shows in everything you produce. You make content worth watching. Wishing you, your family, and the entire Townsends crew, a VERY happy new year!

2020-12-31 21:37:33 +0000 UTCThank you John! Your channel is my go-to for those little details that help make my 18th century set novels feel more authentic, and bring the setting to life, whether it's food on the table or the ingredients in a cabin's daubing. Wishing you a peaceful and gentle new year (even if we have to carry the peace in our hearts).

2020-12-31 21:22:10 +0000 UTCAnd for ever viewer who eloquently states their feelings like Justin and Peter, there are 1000 (10,000?) like me who enjoy Townsends just as much but typically don't write comments.

2020-12-31 21:16:59 +0000 UTCFrom one John to another. Have a great New Year, and you know what make those scary decisions we've got your back.

2020-12-31 20:35:56 +0000 UTCI think we'll never be able to thank you enough for the content and for the good campany you make to us. Even this afternoon as I saw my father watching some shabby program about tresure hunters in the History channel I thought how different your channel is from the main stream. Also today I tried one of your recipes for the first time. So even 5.000 away you are a great improvement in my life, if it matters for something. I only wish I could support you even more. I find that the most honest creators here on patron are the ones who make very few or even none exclusive content. People support you because they want and not because they'll get any benefit from it. You really don't have to put anything behind "a payed wall" to make people want to support. Your videos and live streams are more than enough. Have happy new year and I hope all your projects for 2021 become reality. Here we are waiting for it. All the best.

2020-12-31 20:11:19 +0000 UTCThanks to you and your wonderful team for everything you do, Jon. But make sure you make time for yourselves! If the effort becomes overwhelming or untenable for any reason, back off on content production a bit. You've got a ton of stuff out there already for new fans to discover, and your long-time fans will be happy to see whatever you come up with, whenever you can swing it. We all want you to be able to keep doing what you're doing, and support you in that effort as we can, and we also don't want you to burn out! Your enthusiasm and creativity have gotten me through a lot of rough patches this year, and I really, truly appreciate what you're doing. I wish all of you all the best for a happy, healthy and saner new year, and many good years to come.

2020-12-31 20:04:40 +0000 UTCJon, I wish you a very happy new year! Like so many before me, I want to thank you for providing us a space for respite from all of the ill winds of 2020. Giving us a safe place to retreat and harken back on times when self-reliance was critical; it gave us hope by knowing that those who preceded us survived and even found beauty, we, too, will mostly survive and carry on this journey of time. We will be the story for those who succeed us. That is the lesson that I learned from you this year and am looking forward to next year.

2020-12-31 19:35:33 +0000 UTCJon, I want to say "thank you" very much for the HARD work you do. I know I say this and many others have or would agree...we very much enjoy what you and your team do to bring content of information, entertainment and learning to/for us. Again, THANKYOU for all you do. Bless you and yours in 2021!

2020-12-31 19:16:50 +0000 UTCThank you Justin Gramm for putting into words what I am feeling as well. The Townsend channel has felt like an island of calm and goodness in a year that is full of such turmoil.

2020-12-31 18:43:04 +0000 UTCWhile I definitely appreciate and enjoy the Patreon content, that's not why I donate. If you never made another Patreon video, I'd still keep the money flowing because I love what you're doing, and am glad to be a part (even if a tiny part) of helping you keep doing what you do. So, thank you for everything, and here's to your continued success in 2021. Maybe a little extra nutmeg will help make that just a bit less scary. Also, even being a backer here on Patreon, I still need to say Thank You, because your channel has brought me more joy and helped my mental state, especially this year, than anything I could ever repay.
Justin Gramm
2020-12-31 18:40:08 +0000 UTCThank you, Jon! Your little video messages and appreciation for your supporters are heartwarming. I loved the encouraging fire side chats this year. It is my honor and pleasure to help support the Townsends channel and all that you and the others do to make it happen! Many blessings to all for a wonderful healthy happy cheerful 2021! Cheers!!!

2020-12-31 18:07:07 +0000 UTCWow i didn't know my patron support Makes you work harder, Jon Know I'll continue as I love your works.

2020-12-31 18:01:48 +0000 UTCThank you, Jon. Your outlook and the outlook you brought forth this year was the soothing balm we (the country AND the world!) needed. The best part was hearing "We will get through this" with such frank earnestnessfrom you that it was impossible not to have some hope for a better tomorrow. See you in 2021!

2020-12-31 17:41:17 +0000 UTCI don't comment much, but I watched this and wanted to say that your channel has been one of the things that got me through 2020 - I love history and the cooking videos have given me fun ideas and your upbeat, cheerful demeanor is just a bright spot when a video goes up. Thank you for the content y'all make and I'm looking forward to what you bring us in 2021. Happy New year to you and yours!
Kate Poole
2020-12-31 17:30:57 +0000 UTCPriviledged to be part of your circle. Wish I could support you more financially, but am supporting you for sure. Particularly love the fireside shoots. The Thanksgiving Inn scene was so heart-warming. Keep sending out the humor, the education, and the warmth. Best to you All Townsends and blessings on your families.

2020-12-31 17:29:41 +0000 UTCOh, Jon! I got quite emotional watching this. Thank you SO much for everything you and the team do. 2020 has been tough, but you guys have been a light in the dark for many. Sending warmest wishes for 2021 from the UK! Sarah (and Nigel) Gilbert xx

2020-12-31 17:23:52 +0000 UTCYour videos are a healthy escape to the past from the current situation, I enjoy every one. As long as you don't start telling about the plague and other diseases of 1700th century! Happy New year!
Risto Alanko
2020-12-31 17:11:22 +0000 UTCWith enough nutmeg, your new year plans can be done. 😊 Do what you all enjoy and it will continue to shine through. It's a joy to be at a point where I can offer even a little support. Just have fun, so you don't burn out. Happy, bright, and healthy New Year!

2020-12-31 17:06:47 +0000 UTCIt is a privilege to be the tiniest part of the work you do. Happy new year to you and the (beyond Patreon) team, Jon.

2020-12-31 17:02:11 +0000 UTCI didn’t know Patreon is all you, Jon. Glad to be part of the ‘inner circle’! 2020 was an incredible emotional struggle for me, and the wholesome content on the channel made the days better. I think we all appreciate the hard work that goes into it. You and your team all have your own struggles, I’m sure: the usual life complications of families and mortgages and car issues and health and kids and who knows what else. But you folks keep the content coming anyway. Small businesses like Townsends are the heart and soul of America. I wish you folks a year full of prosperity and support in 2021.

2020-12-31 16:59:16 +0000 UTCAs people how truly believe that the keys to our future reside hidden in our history your programming has truly been a Light in our home during these times! You have especially made the holiday season special with the reading of classical literature! Thank-you, again! And here’s to a better new year!!!!

2020-12-31 16:57:06 +0000 UTCI am absolutely proud to be part of the circle! Mushroom ketchup brought me here and I am so very thankful it did!
