  • Peter and Anna take a trip into the historic town of Saint Benoît du Sault to trace the route of the old tram line, here they find the old station and carriage shed.
    Peter tries his hand at planting, but sure he prefers joinery and mechanics!!

    We have the loveliest supporters and followers of our TH-cam channel 'It's a Wonderful Life'.
    We remain committed to provide our content regularly, and of late, to increase the frequency of our vlogs. We have and continue to receive, many kind requests, to send gifts, or in some way help us financially with our channel.
    We have given this a great deal of thought. Whilst 'Patreon' and 'go fund me' are out of the question for us, we feel the 'buy me a coffee platform' (or for us, a cup of tea!) would be a great way to do this, especially in light of its ease of use and non ongoing commitment.
    Any contribution towards maintaining and hopefully enhancing our channel is very much appreciated, but never expected.
    Thank you again for all your support and kind comments, and perhaps even a 'nice cup of tea' Anna and Peter

    Hi Anna & Peter, I enjoyed the visit to the village, so reminiscent of old rural railway lines back in the UK. I can remember seeing similar types of buildings when I was young. Nice job on the planter Peter and I think that area will look wonderful when Miss Anna has worked her magic. Overall, of course its teamwork which you do so well. Take care both of you.

    Nice job on the wall Peter. Now a little tip for you, before you plant.. just when you take it out of the container it was in, encourage the roots a bit before you plant. Just saying for when you have a go the next time😂 Loved seeing the chickens. Thankyou for sharing Anna and Peter😘

    Different types of geraniums would look beautiful in those planters with some type of draping vine around the sides. Geraniums could take the heat. Coleus are beautiful too.

    Everything looks so beautiful! All the hard work shows…
    Peter and Anna are you going to be taking out that row of rocks dividing that area Anna was mowing in the video so it creates a gentle slope, first would be much easier to cut the lawn plus wouldn’t looked chopped up into two parts, plus must be hard trying to keep the grass trimmed around those rocks.
    To get rid of the grass and weeds coming through the gravel just spray with white vinegar 60% and water.40%. You can buy cheaply a canister with a wand for an easy application. Key to catch before it seeds the sun with burn it and turns to dust. Maybe a couple of applications.
