What a life, I have. Every night I get so excited about going to bed and putting TH-cam on, I say to myself I don't need to go on any trips, I have all the Chateau families lives with each one of their journeys, thankyou Stuart and Patrick for sharing your lives with us 😘🥰
Dear Patrick and Stuart, I’m in love with everything behind you including your flowers and the table they’re sitting on. It’s such a beautiful display. Thank you for taking us on your visit to the chateau. The roses are beautiful and will bring you years of happiness! I laughed when you said you will be gilding the mirror, as if you have nothing else to do. My goodness, you are two very busy men yet you continue to smile, and seeing that you are both very happy, makes my day! I would love to see a tour of the ground floor rooms whenever you decide to do it as you’ve been collecting many lovely pieces to fill the rooms. Stay well, continue being happy and looking forward to your next video. xx
Good morning Stephanie. The roses are wonderful, all scented too. A must for me.😊. I always. Loved roses. I had over 40 different varieties in a garden I designed a long time ago and I was a teen then 😮. My camera skills are not great but I might just film a tour of the current state of the ground floor. Hope it turns out well. 😂😂😂. Love your comment, as always, thoughtful and uplifting. Hugs from Colombe. ❤😊❤
Mademoiselle Alfred Carriere is an antique rose that is beautiful. You might also want to find Louis Phillipe d'Angers. It is not listed as a climber but mine is well over 10 foot tall. It is nearly thornless and flowers prolifically and constantly. They are deep red, double, with a heady rose scent, and very hardy. Plus, I've been able to just prune a sturdy stem, stick it deep in the ground, and have it successfully grow. As to the pendulum clock, mine does that when it is over wound. I just keep prompting it to swing again and eventually, it keeps going. Hope that works for you as well.
The Thumbnail was hilerious.😂😂 Stuart the music was well added visiting the Chateau.🎻 It was like being at a Ball in Vienna💃 by the way I've visited this Chateau...it's beautilful. I think the flowers will look lovely in the garden next year. Like the items you bought pitty they painted over the gilding. Even having so much to restore I think that you both never had any regrets buying the Chateau and living in France. Hugs and kisses 🥰😘
Isn't it nice to get a plant fix? Spring never comes fast enough for me. Good thing you have enough land to support your plant addictions. I am running out of space so time to buy a chateau!!!
Let us know, where to look for your chateau. Happy to help a fellow plant addict! ❤😊❤. And indeed, a plant fix is absolutely nice. Spring is fully here and we love it. Hugs from Colombe. 👍🏻🌷🌸🌹
Patrick and Stewart your backdrop is so beautiful and brings Spring into our lives even though it’s still very cold and wet here in Northern California. You both are such charming and delightful to follow in your new journey of château life. Chuckled on your refilling task to go along with everything you already are doing. The commode looks so nice . In time you’ll get the ground floor as you wish it to be… take your time .. Thank you for taking us to the château, what a lovely garden and home. The roses will be a great addition to your garden. I can imagine vases filled with scented roses . Have a great weekend ❤❤
Oh I'd love to see a tour now that you've aquired so much furniture and decor lately! I know it's still in process but that's exactly why it's interesting to see, it's the process that's always interesting for anyone interested in interior design and how it comes togethet over time! 💕 Wonderful outings! Those iris varieties... Lovely roses you bought, those will bring you joy in all the years to come!
Stuart, bravo on the cinematography and musical interludes. Patrick, you had too much fun in that toolbox, making your selections; it reminded me of choosing ones favorite chocolates from a deluxe box. Château Cheverny is quite a home, and their flower selection was phenomenal. I can see how you could easily go bankrupt from plant purchases. All of you châtelain should get together for a swap meet to exchange plants, bulbs, cuttings, etc. to increase your gardens diversity and keep your costs down. Then, there will no longer be a need for "Robin Hoods."
Hi there Edward……😊. You got me there. I loved that tool box. 👍🏻💕👍🏻. And to think all the people who have used them before. Cheverny is fantastic. The upper 2 floors are empty (unused that is). No more scores of servants under the rafters and the many others who’d be working there every day. Cooks, gardeners, farmers……. And the extended family all living together. I love your ideas of swaps g plants and cuttings. I will get cuttings going again soon. We have so many length of the property that need hedges. Swapping with other chateau owners….. fantastic. Hugs from Colombe. ❤😊❤
I actually LOVE the older tools better made and easily refurbished and bought on a dime. I owned a preschool and needed tools constantly, I got everything I needed at garage sales. I knew good tools when I saw them because my Dad owned a tool and die manufacturing business and he was a car mechanic and a carpenter, he taught me everything he knew. The chateau and flower sale was amazing. I miss gardening and garden centres at this time of year, so I am going to live vicariously through your gardens this year. 🥰 When I was really young the entire back of our house was covered in bright red climbing roses, it was stunning. We had a beautiful row of Snowball bush viburnum which were also stunning. Your pretty and glamorous is coming for sure. With your perfect purchases, skills and eye for design there will be a certain splendor for you sit back and enjoy when all is said and done. Have an excellent week ahead!
You both look and sound like you have your second wind!......( love the background arrangement today) ...I have the white Alfred climbing rose. Lovley scent... just keeps flowering all summer. Xx❤
Thank you so much my friend. We were so excited to go. 🌷🌹🌷. The music is wonderful. Syptuart is amazing with putting a vlog together. ❤. The lady at the rose stand recommended the white climber to us. It’s planed now….. cannot wait. Thank you for the feedback. We will keep you posted. Love from Colombe. 🥰😘🥰🌸
Good morning Stuart & Patrick, your videos are as usual funny, you do seem to be so happy and so relaxed. I must say the opening of the video, it looks very grand with the mirror in the back and the candelabra are magnificent. Those flowers on the table are stunning. Your idea worked beautifully. It makes the table look more unique. The visit to Chateau de Cheverny was so lovely. I loved how they decorated their gardens, the ornaments in the trees and that bunny in the flower bed, it worked so well. Hopefully all the plants you bought will bring much pleasure to the eyes. Iris's are one of many favourites. The flower is extremely delicate. A grand choice with the roses. Chateaux's must boast with beautiful roses, climbers or other varieties. You did very good. A video of the other rooms will be nice, but understandably you are busy with projects, we will enjoy what you have accomplished. How is the kitchen floor progressing, once that is done, then perhaps you can start organising the kitchen cupboards, and while that all is going on, time is passing and it would be time for the stove to arrive, you should query the progress in the meantime!! Looking forward to the next video, a perfect end to the week. Do take care, be alert. Kind regards, Elize.
Hi Patrick and Stuart glad you managed to get tool always useful the bulbs look good what a amazing chateau beautiful and so many flowers and the pond as well France has some beautiful chateaus the scenery around France is lovley it’s so nice to see the furniture being used again maybe you should get a couple of statues of your dogs made and put them in the front of your chateau it would look lovley with all the lovley plant that you are putting in just a thought you could get some whisteria that is a climber it would look beautiful against a wall and you can train it as well against a wall and it grows all through the summer
(9.20 )The Black Swan is native to Australia & was introduced to Europe in 1804 . They became part of the Empress Bonaparte’s garden menagerie at the Chateau de Malmaison 💕🇦🇺💕
Fun to start the brocanting season and BIG score on the plant sale at the Chateau! Some outstanding stock there! Put this on your list for an outing next year! Great score on the new auction pieces....little by little, it;s coming together! I can see through the construction and dust! Cheers!
Oh that is so nice. I sometimes cannot see the end result. Too much on my mind. Thank you for your confidence. The plant sale was…… fantastic. We will be back next year, for sure. And the auctions last year were great. Love from Colombe. ❤😊❤
I love your mini daffodils. The mirror behind you is extraordinarily beautiful. Stuart I think you would give us a great tour of the ground floor. I don’t feel you kids are sitting around eating bonbons. Especially with Spring almost here. Hugs to you both.
I think a video of the ground floor is a good idea. We all know that, as is said, Rome wasn't built in a day. The daffodil table with mirror behind looks so lovely;)
Bonjour, I very much liked the outing to Chateau de Cheverny and the exquisite climbing roses you purchased. The auction items are lovely and fit your chateau decor. I’m glad to see you both having fun and enjoying the adventure. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli. BTW, the bulbs you nourished are beautiful in bloom.
Hello my boys! Great video as always. Patrick, you had me drooling again over all those beautiful flowers! Love the little thumb print in your tag line. It was brilliant. 🦔🤗💜😎🤟🏻🇺🇸
Wow that Chateau was beautiful. So were the plants n flowers you showed there. I really enjoy watching you two. You crack me up. We’ll see how the plants come out. Well the PICTURES of them are very nice. 🤣🤣🤣
You guy's crack me up the banter between you both is special love it, you got some beautiful treasure and the rose bushes are lovely take care and see you both soon 💕🌼🤗
I would love a tour by Stuart of the way you live now while in construction mode. We all have those times and it’s almost comforting to know someone else is in that situation. Would love to see your purchases as the arrive and your plans for them. The click is lovely as are the candelabra. Hopefully an easy repair. Really enjoy your vlogs.
I agree with you. It makes misery more bearable when we see that we are not the only ones. And yes to the honest view of how we live. I’ll pressure Stuart….. I’ll. Tell him I’ll go on strike…… 😂😊😂. Tony saw the candelabra and said…. Of course, everything can be repaired. He such a genius! Love your comment. Thank you. ❤
What are you two like great thumbnail great volg and again soo watchable be interesting to watch early reruns you have both had a journey and a half keep um coming
The Vanilla Berry iris is one of my favorite! It is gorgeous and hardy…if you got that one you won’t regret it. It has large blooms and a pleasant scent.
Stuart when you get an idea and get the giggles you make me laugh . Thanks for taking us on the plant sale . I have loads of roses and Iris I have some from my mothers garden very old . A really nice excellent performer climbing rose is Pierre De Rosamond beautiful pink cream centre . The Iris are not hard to get good results they grow well with roses use the same fertiliser Sudden Impact for Roses is great I live in Melbourne Australia . I purchased some Iris at the Melbourne Garden show and the grower told me that fertiliser is good for them .Looking forward to seeing them .Enjoy
Your thumbnail picture was hilarious!!! I’m waiting for the movie to come out!!! 😂😂😂 Plants and flowers and the duck pond!!! How about hydrangeas??? 🤗❤️🎶👏👏👏🌺🌻🌸Beautiful chateau!!! 🇨🇦🇫🇷
I visit Cheverny many times I’m glad you did it and have a lot of fun you both amazing thank you for having us with you i born in Chaumont surLoire that’s a Chateau and garden to not miss in spring absolutely beautiful it’s a full day visit go you will no regret ❤️you guys
I love going on a French countryside outing....all that was missing was a baguette, Stuart, that mirror is going to cost a fortune in gold leaf but it will be so worth it.
Oh I love you two lol ... Patrick you looked so tiny in van .. looked like you had fun shopping .. love the tiny daffodils ... life will be lovely one day ... for now it maybe a dungeon and not a chateau lol ... the Chateau is a lady in waiting ❤
You've made me very jealous! Spring is finally coming to my region of the world, but not soon enough! Such gorgeous flowers! I used to work for an outdoor plant market and this vlog has made me homesick for the smells, the sunshine, the camaraderie amongst workers, the hard work that goes on behind the scenes setting up the flats of plant pots, the whiffs of spicy fragrant carnations and delicate miniature dianthus! Beautiful memories. What I don't miss are the aching muscles at the end of each day!
Wow, what a lovely trip you took us on to the Chateau! You, like me, look at the pictures connected to beautiful plants, but it's keeping them healthy and actually growing! I scare myself sometimes when I spend money on things I can't control!! Great job on the bulb growths Patrick!! You two make me laugh when you're explaining your purchases! Yes Stuart, a tour would be great! It's Friday, so I'm going to watch that video soon.
I never knew what was going to pop out of the screen next. Fun shopping wow. I would have spent so much money lovely primroses and irises. So enjoyable 😊
The yellow flowers in the round bowl thing between you guys are gorgeous! The mirror and candlesticks look like they were made to go together! ❤❤ what a wonderful flower market and beautiful chateau! You guys need terrier statues made for your garden😁
I did not visit Cheverny when I was in the Loire Valley but I did purchase a postcard of a room in which the walls were completely covered with blue and white porcelain, not just tiles but 3D objects, with the ceiling sporting an upside-down bowl. It was for a friend who loves blue and white porcelain. I thought the room was at Cheverny. Do y'all know? Don't forget that Cheverny is also the headquarters of cartoon doggie Milou and his human, Tin Tin. Stuart gave me a jump scare with that music and the shot of the Easter bunny. Loved the video. Swan--moat?, rubber duckies in their lazy river. Leave it to us dog lovers to find the dogs at places. I see you are back to your funny thumbnails from the chateau hunters days. Love it!
The background for this vlog was beautiful guys! A successful spring bloom! That mirror is pretty gorgeous! Have we ever met this superwoman Florence! She is such a valuable resource and friend!
Love the intro music it’s really upbeat and so French. The Brocante was great too and the cheese looked yummy! Fantastic day at that Chateau with all those flowers and plants so many beautiful things to look at. I was admiring your spring bulbs especially the daffodils ❤
You both are such darlings, full of knowledge and fun and something very mischievous about you both. You do make me smile and Thanks for another lovely interesting vlog. Xx🇨🇮
The thumbnail was hilarious. Now that it is spring, there will be lots of nurseries and pop-up plant sales. Every year I buy less as the heat waves we have kills everything. I am not that healthy for gardening these days, but I do like the gigantic geraniums as they tolerate the heat and do well when not watered regularly. Your spring bulbs turned out beautifully. I like your new acquisitions, the commode, the clock, the candelabras, etc. Tony will fix that candelabra in a jiffy. The Chateau you visited is beautiful. I love the modern art and the eggs that grow on trees. LOL.Peter rabbit looked very handsome. 😅 Best wishes and love to you both and the fur babes from Canada.
Hi guys, wonderful video I so enjoyed it, you are both such a pleasure to watch, I loved the Chateau and the plants and your purchases are gorgeous, I know your Chateau has a long way to go before it’s been renovated to the way you would both like it to be, but I’m in love with it’s pure charm, warts an all and I’m so looking forward to the journey of making it beautiful once again, much love to you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can understand the feeling of having to restrain yourselves with the plants, those beautiful walls at your Chateau are ideal for climbing roses they will look fantastic. I was a little bit surprised you resisted those lovely hydrangeas. I was wondering about all those beautiful pieces behind you. Look forward to more vlogs thank you x
We love the climbers we got. We will have ,more….. surprise!? I we bought 15 hydrangeas already. So we are good for 2 years….. 😮. We need to clear and weed spaces. Now we will have so many walls to cover…. And we will. Love from us at Colombe.
I loved the thumbnail! I could not decide between The Mod Squad and Robin Hood! LOL! I am proud of your restraint at the flower / plant show! I love the clock!! I hope you can rebalance the pendulum (or whatever it needs)! My daffodils are blooming and we are getting some rain. (We need it, it was a dry winter.)
Lovely as always. ❤ You know I love some shopping! Though, that looked more like a flea market than a brocante. I love that you stopped to say hello to the little dog. How fabulous is Chateau de Cheverny?? My goodness that’s a big house! Is this plant market a regular thing? Brilliant way to diversify and make good use of their grounds. No tulips here yet. The bulb plants are just starting to break through right now. At least all of the snow has finally melted off. Spring is coming! 🌷 Big hugs to you both. ❤❤
Hoping for a lovely spring for you. Soon! ❤. It was quite a mix and more flea market. Indeed. That Beagle was so cute. The upper 2 levels are basically empty. Where there were once 30 maids and valets there is now all quiet….. 😮. The market is once every spring for charity. We are thinking about offering our grounds to the Rotary club for a spring plant show. But first kitchen and bathroom above the kitchen. Love to you and enjoy this first spring in your new home. 😊😊😊
What a fun shopping trip! I noticed Morbier cheese at the market. Yum, one of my favorites, but sometimes difficult to find. Great choice of roses too. Mme Alfred Carriere is a famous much loved variety, but too delicate for my climate in the US. Now I'm going to Google maps to find all the towns you visited.😄
The music that was playing whilst looking at the iris… surely not jazz ! Seldom that I really notice the music but that was lovely. I read the description but it said it was Jazz in Paris oder sowas !
Very warm greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 to u both. The background where u were sitting at home in yr Chateau looked stunning. U have great taste and once yr kitchen is completed u can decide on the wall treatment/colour u want in the Grand Salon it will be stunning. I have always admired yr adventurous spirit and how u uped sticks and moved 2 🇫🇷 France. Takes a lot of courage/planning. We have been watching yr vlogs since the beginning when u were viewing chateaus. There has been a lot going on in our lives so I have not been sending comments however we do watch yr vloggs each week. Fondest regards 2 u both. Victoria & Richard 👱♀️😎
Ohh, sorry we forgot to take the candelabra with us today, I'll try to pick it up over the weekend xx
What a life, I have. Every night I get so excited about going to bed and putting TH-cam on, I say to myself I don't need to go on any trips, I have all the Chateau families lives with each one of their journeys, thankyou Stuart and Patrick for sharing your lives with us 😘🥰
Hi Sharon. Love you. ❤😊❤
What a stunning chateau, with the gardeners heaven in the grounds.😊take care.

What a great Thumbnail. Looks like it’s a hit in the comments. ❤😅😂
Didn’t Stuart do a great job? I loved it, when he showed me this afternoon. 💗🥰💕
Mademoiselle Alfred Carriere is an antique rose that is beautiful. You might also want to find Louis Phillipe d'Angers. It is not listed as a climber but mine is well over 10 foot tall. It is nearly thornless and flowers prolifically and constantly. They are deep red, double, with a heady rose scent, and very hardy.

Mme Carriere❤ she's not just beautiful but enjoys with her wonderful fragrance!!!
I have work meetings today so will miss the live chat. Will catch up soon. ❤
Hi sweetie. Hope all is well and your boy is recovering. Don’t work too hard. Hugs and love from us at Colombe. 💗💖💗
We are on the mend! ❤ I loved the cheese selections! I would be sorely tempted to try them all.
The Thumbnail was hilerious.😂😂 Stuart the music was well added visiting the Chateau.🎻 It was like being at a Ball in Vienna💃 by the way I've visited this Chateau...it's beautilful.

Have a great weekend ❤❤
Stuart, I love the music you picked for the tour of the Loire Valley Chateau. Perfection!
Many thanks, Rita! ❤️
Hi Rita. I agree. So pretty. Like everyone else I see it at the premiere. So enjoyable. Love from Colombe. 💕👍🏻💕🐕
Ohhhh private owned chateau cheverny.. was there a couple of times. The thumbnail is so funny😂😂
Absolutely stunning chateau. We will be back later this spring for a tour. 😊❤😊. Glad you like the thumbnail. 😊
Oh I'd love to see a tour now that you've aquired so much furniture and decor lately! I know it's still in process but that's exactly why it's interesting to see, it's the process that's always interesting for anyone interested in interior design and how it comes togethet over time! 💕 Wonderful outings! Those iris varieties...
Lovely roses you bought, those will bring you joy in all the years to come!
That is what you need to greet people as they come into your chateau. A large Statue of one of your dogs. lol!
Your bulbs are beautiful!
Stuart, I think the idea Patrick sprung on you is an excellent idea. ❤
Thanks for taking us along on your journey! 🍻
Thank you for your support. It’ll be a true picture of our current life. 😊❤😊
I've been to Cheverny it is beautiful.

I just love your channel and so does my parrot whenever either of you laughs he joins in and sometimes laughs when he is not supposed to.
Beautiful new pieces! Great an eye. ❤
You two wonderful men brighten my day. Thank you.
You are so kind and we appreciate your lovely comment. Hugs from your friends from Colombe. 😊

Hello from PEI Canada. I want the dog statues and all of the trees.. Glorious way to spend the day
Black swans! Wow! I've never seen any. Also loved the Mr. Bunny leaning on his cane in the garden. 🥰
Hi Patrick and Stuart glad you managed to get tool always useful the bulbs look good what a amazing chateau beautiful and so many flowers and the pond as well France has some beautiful chateaus the scenery around France is lovley it’s so nice to see the furniture being used again maybe you should get a couple of statues of your dogs made and put them in the front of your chateau it would look lovley with all the lovley plant that you are putting in just a thought you could get some whisteria that is a climber it would look beautiful against a wall and you can train it as well against a wall and it grows all through the summer
The mirror, candelabras, clock, and commode are beautiful.
😂 Love the thumbnail 💕
Hi Rosa. All Stuart’s idea. He is so talented. 😊
That chateau was divine!!! Thank you for sharing with us 🥰 Loved seeing all the beautiful plants too!
Thank you too. It is stunning. And the plants were Devine. Huge hug. 😊
The thumbnail is great! My brother does have a sense of humor, LOL!
He does indeed. And his creativity is amazing too. 😊😊😊. Hope all is well

Hugs and love to both of you 😁

You guys need a costume closet for parties! Just ask Stephanie- I don’t think she could live without it at LaLande!!
You guy's crack me up the banter between you both is special love it, you got some beautiful treasure and the rose bushes are lovely take care and see you both soon 💕🌼🤗

Tony saw the candelabra and said…. Of course, everything can be repaired. He such a genius! Love your comment. Thank you. ❤
What are you two like great thumbnail great volg and again soo watchable be interesting to watch early reruns you have both had a journey and a half keep um coming
You Jim are so very kind and you made me smile. Thank you so much. Love your comment. ❤😊❤
The Vanilla Berry iris is one of my favorite! It is gorgeous and hardy…if you got that one you won’t regret it. It has large blooms and a pleasant scent.
That is indeed a magnificent Iris. I will be on the lookout. It is a bearded variety. Love them. Thank you so much. Hugs. ❤😊❤
Stuart when you get an idea and get the giggles you make me laugh . Thanks for taking us on the plant sale . I have loads of roses and Iris I have some from my mothers garden very old . A really nice excellent performer climbing rose is Pierre De Rosamond beautiful pink cream centre . The Iris are not hard to get good results they grow well with roses use the same fertiliser Sudden Impact for Roses is great I live in Melbourne Australia . I purchased some Iris at the Melbourne Garden show and the grower told me that fertiliser is good for them .Looking forward to seeing them .Enjoy

We….? Never. 🤣😂🤣. Ok maybe. ❤❤❤

Your thumbnail picture was hilarious!!! I’m waiting for the movie to come out!!! 😂😂😂 Plants and flowers and the duck pond!!! How about hydrangeas??? 🤗❤️🎶👏👏👏🌺🌻🌸Beautiful chateau!!! 🇨🇦🇫🇷
Hi there. Thank you so much. I wish I’d be half as creative as Stuart. 😊. We got 15 hydrangeas to start with. I love thé way you think. ❤😊❤

I adore your comment. Thank you so much. 💖💕💖
Can you take us for a walk through the park sometime, to see what magic Spring reveals?
❤❤❤ the beautiful flowers for sale ! The music accompanying the vlog is excellent!
I love going on a French countryside outing....all that was missing was a baguette, Stuart, that mirror is going to cost a fortune in gold leaf but it will be so worth it.
Oh wow. That commode is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait for the kitchen update. 😊
Love the spring flowers in the background! Easter in France is amazing, all the treats!
Thanks so much! 😊
Wonderful indeed. ❤🌷🌸
I love roses 🌹
They are so pretty. We love the ones we got. 🌹🌸🌹💗
Cheverny is a magnificent ediface. I hope you are having a fabulous week! Thank you for the video!

Oh I love you two lol ... Patrick you looked so tiny in van .. looked like you had fun shopping .. love the tiny daffodils ... life will be lovely one day ... for now it maybe a dungeon and not a chateau lol ... the Chateau is a lady in waiting ❤
You've made me very jealous! Spring is finally coming to my region of the world, but not soon enough! Such gorgeous flowers! I used to work for an outdoor plant market and this vlog has made me homesick for the smells, the sunshine, the camaraderie amongst workers, the hard work that goes on behind the scenes setting up the flats of plant pots, the whiffs of spicy fragrant carnations and delicate miniature dianthus! Beautiful memories. What I don't miss are the aching muscles at the end of each day!
There’s a very prolific rambling rose called Wedding Day. I highly recommend it.
Wow, what a lovely trip you took us on to the Chateau! You, like me, look at the pictures connected to beautiful plants, but it's keeping them healthy and actually growing! I scare myself sometimes when I spend money on things I can't control!! Great job on the bulb growths Patrick!! You two make me laugh when you're explaining your purchases! Yes Stuart, a tour would be great! It's Friday, so I'm going to watch that video soon.
I never knew what was going to pop out of the screen next. Fun shopping wow. I would have spent so much money lovely primroses and irises. So enjoyable 😊
It says something about how well that mirror fits because I didn't realize it was new for ya'll until you said something lol
The yellow flowers in the round bowl thing between you guys are gorgeous! The mirror and candlesticks look like they were made to go together! ❤❤ what a wonderful flower market and beautiful chateau! You guys need terrier statues made for your garden😁
I did not visit Cheverny when I was in the Loire Valley but I did purchase a postcard of a room in which the walls were completely covered with blue and white porcelain, not just tiles but 3D objects, with the ceiling sporting an upside-down bowl. It was for a friend who loves blue and white porcelain. I thought the room was at Cheverny. Do y'all know? Don't forget that Cheverny is also the headquarters of cartoon doggie Milou and his human, Tin Tin. Stuart gave me a jump scare with that music and the shot of the Easter bunny. Loved the video. Swan--moat?, rubber duckies in their lazy river. Leave it to us dog lovers to find the dogs at places. I see you are back to your funny thumbnails from the chateau hunters days. Love it!
Loved this format! You gentlemen are always doing something interesting and fun. Have the best week ever 🥀🌻
Thank you so much. ❤ wishing you a fantastic week too. Hugs. 🥰😘💖
Great road trips excellent purchases
Looking forward to seeing your plants bloom in the garden 🪴
What fun.
This THUMBNAIL!!!!! LOL! LOVE it!
The background for this vlog was beautiful guys! A successful spring bloom! That mirror is pretty gorgeous! Have we ever met this superwoman Florence! She is such a valuable resource and friend!
Yes. Florence has been here several times and she was one of the new years eve guests.
😂😂😂You two crack me up 😂😂😂 Love the thumbnail😂😂😂
So very happy we can make you laugh. Best medicine. Love you and you are always in our thoughts. 😘🥰😘
Love the intro music it’s really upbeat and so French. The Brocante was great too and the cheese looked yummy! Fantastic day at that Chateau with all those flowers and plants so many beautiful things to look at. I was admiring your spring bulbs especially the daffodils ❤
Hydrangea's are quite easy to multiply. Maybe next year.
You both are such darlings, full of knowledge and fun and something very mischievous about you both. You do make me smile and Thanks for another lovely interesting vlog. Xx🇨🇮
Dear Sheila, that is such a sweet and kind comment. Thank you so much. Huge hug from Colombe. 👍🏻💖👍🏻
The thumbnail was hilarious. Now that it is spring, there will be lots of nurseries and pop-up plant sales. Every year I buy less as the heat waves we have kills everything. I am not that healthy for gardening these days, but I do like the gigantic geraniums as they tolerate the heat and do well when not watered regularly.
Your spring bulbs turned out beautifully.
I like your new acquisitions, the commode, the clock, the candelabras, etc. Tony will fix that candelabra in a jiffy.
The Chateau you visited is beautiful. I love the modern art and the eggs that grow on trees. LOL.Peter rabbit looked very handsome. 😅
Best wishes and love to you both and the fur babes from Canada.
You bought lovely plants guys
Hi guys, wonderful video I so enjoyed it, you are both such a pleasure to watch, I loved the Chateau and the plants and your purchases are gorgeous, I know your Chateau has a long way to go before it’s been renovated to the way you would both like it to be, but I’m in love with it’s pure charm, warts an all and I’m so looking forward to the journey of making it beautiful once again, much love to you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I can understand the feeling of having to restrain yourselves with the plants, those beautiful walls at your Chateau are ideal for climbing roses they will look fantastic. I was a little bit surprised you resisted those lovely hydrangeas. I was wondering about all those beautiful pieces behind you. Look forward to more vlogs thank you x
We love the climbers we got. We will have ,more….. surprise!? I we bought 15 hydrangeas already. So we are good for 2 years….. 😮. We need to clear and weed spaces. Now we will have so many walls to cover…. And we will. Love from us at Colombe.
Love the thumbnail !!!!! Absolutely marvelous.
I loved the thumbnail! I could not decide between The Mod Squad and Robin Hood! LOL! I am proud of your restraint at the flower / plant show! I love the clock!! I hope you can rebalance the pendulum (or whatever it needs)! My daffodils are blooming and we are getting some rain. (We need it, it was a dry winter.)
Lovely as always. ❤ You know I love some shopping! Though, that looked more like a flea market than a brocante. I love that you stopped to say hello to the little dog.
How fabulous is Chateau de Cheverny?? My goodness that’s a big house! Is this plant market a regular thing? Brilliant way to diversify and make good use of their grounds.
No tulips here yet. The bulb plants are just starting to break through right now. At least all of the snow has finally melted off. Spring is coming! 🌷
Big hugs to you both. ❤❤
Hoping for a lovely spring for you. Soon! ❤. It was quite a mix and more flea market. Indeed. That Beagle was so cute. The upper 2 levels are basically empty. Where there were once 30 maids and valets there is now all quiet….. 😮. The market is once every spring for charity. We are thinking about offering our grounds to the Rotary club for a spring plant show. But first kitchen and bathroom above the kitchen. Love to you and enjoy this first spring in your new home. 😊😊😊
What a great vlog! I really loved the French music you used while showing the drive to the brocante!
Always thought eggs grew from a tree😂great video as usual….love watching your garden develop🌷🌺🌸🌼
😂🤣😂. It was too funny. We enjoy seeing the garden grow….. although…… not fast enough. 😂. Hugs. 🌹🌷🌸💕
Another great episode! Please make the tour video 🙂
What a fun shopping trip! I noticed Morbier cheese at the market. Yum, one of my favorites, but sometimes difficult to find. Great choice of roses too. Mme Alfred Carriere is a famous much loved variety, but too delicate for my climate in the US. Now I'm going to Google maps to find all the towns you visited.😄
The music that was playing whilst looking at the iris… surely not jazz ! Seldom that I really notice the music but that was lovely. I read the description but it said it was Jazz in Paris oder sowas !
Very warm greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 to u both. The background where u were sitting at home in yr Chateau looked stunning. U have great taste and once yr kitchen is completed u can decide on the wall treatment/colour u want in the Grand Salon it will be stunning. I have always admired yr adventurous spirit and how u uped sticks and moved 2 🇫🇷 France. Takes a lot of courage/planning.
We have been watching yr vlogs since the beginning when u were viewing chateaus. There has been a lot going on in our lives so I have not been sending comments however we do watch yr vloggs each week.
Fondest regards 2 u both. Victoria & Richard 👱♀️😎
Thank you, Victoria. 💕
