Sorry for the green flashes folks. Don't know what the craic is with that 🤨 I'll consult my production team (Dan and Nic) tomorrow and sort it. Probably some setting to change or something 🙄 (Could be the fairies...) Anyway hope it didn't ruin it for you! B
Loving the production team 😂 I knoooow that feeling when you can’t find things you just used 🤣😩 my brain is fog because I’m old now … not sure what you’re all excuses are … But if all else fails….Blame the puppy!!! 😊 ❤❤❤❤
Brian, your vlog has become my refuge from the pure ugliness, insanity and anxiety of American politics right now. So thank you for such a serene respite.
I love your daily vlogs but couldn't help laugh when you said "just look at this view" & we heard Nick shoot back immediately with "All I can see is OSB!" 🤣 xx
Not sure if you know this Brian, but I believe there is a requirement for a daily joke and a daily puppy cuddle in the fine print of your TH-cam contract. I could listen to you talk for hours and your walks through the villages are lovely.
Departement Creuse Brian, you're right smack in the middle of France. What a perfect setup. If you carry on with your brilliant vlogs, the departement should pay you for bringing in the tourists, us 33.700 are al ready for coming. Cheers!
Loved the coffee and talk. The view from the top of the tower was gorgeous. I'm glad the weather is cooperating. Thanks Brian. Another day in paradise.
Hello Brian, it's very nice to see you and share your experiencing in life. I'd like to comment on your choice of musical accompaniment. It's perfect! Thank you! and take good care!
I had an Old Ford Popular that required a run up hills, otherwise it slowed right down. When I eventually sold it there was a hole in the radiator and where the front passenger put their feet. In the winter I had to hit the starter motor with an iron rod. The kids these days have no idea of the fun we had back in the day.😅
When I saw how the light enters the top of the chapel I have to think of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Place everybody should visit to see. Thanks Brian! I like the positive Energy! 👍🏻
Another lovely morning with you! Thanks for the glimpse into the church at Saint-Leonard and your description of the peacefulness of it. Really pretty view from the tower too!
LOOOOVE your reference to San Andreas! Grew up in San Francisco - The Land of the Earthquake, but I just love listening to you chat to us. And YES! I had a truck that I literally had to get a huge running start to get up the hills in San Francisco. Good Times! Your new camera is awesome, too. The clarity makes a ton of difference.
Brian I am from and live in the USA and I have known about the origin of Halloween and all about the Irish origins but to hear a true Irish person tell about is absolutely marvelous thank you
Hi Brian🍀I just love riding around with you while you tell us about your life and what your up to. I think the Towns and Villages you stop at for a coffee are so quaint and lovely. ☕Thank you for sharing the story of the origins of Halloween that is celebrated in Ireland, it was facinating! Have a lovely day.🙏🇺🇸
Stay warm, bring on the good coffee … because you have a chateau to help build 😉 and every good chateau build in France needs a good cup of coffee and some Irish sensibility
Really nice video, Brian. Was sipping on a coffee myself during your story. I love when you share the beauty of the buildings...inside and out. Much appreciated. I especially like your choice of music. Perfect. See you later.
Yes, I have always loved Irish Folklore. Lots of it has trickled into my country, the U.S. Tell us about Tara - In Gone With the Wind, Scarlett O'Hara's family home was named, "Tara." I don't think the author, of that book, ever explained where the name came from.
Tara is a townland in County Meath about 40kms or 25ish miles from Dublin city centre. Pasted directly from the website for the "Hill of Tara" The Hill of Tara has been important since the late Stone Age, when a passage tomb was built there. However, the site became truly significant in the Iron Age (600 BC to 400 AD) and into the Early Christian Period when it rose to supreme prominence - as the seat of the high kings of Ireland. All old Irish roads lead to this critical site. St Patrick himself went there in the fifth century. As Christianity achieved dominance over the following centuries, Tara’s importance became symbolic. Its halls and palaces have now disappeared and only earthworks remain. There are still remarkable sights to be seen, however. Just one example is the Lia Fáil - the great coronation stone and one of the four legendary treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann - which stands proudly on the monument known as An Forradh
I absolutely loved the origins of Samhain/Halloween and my heart actually jumped for joy when I heard you pronounce Samhain!! I have had many of heated debates over the pronunciation!!!! I’ll be checking out the podcast you mentioned, I love hearing Irish folk lore. My granny was half Irish and half Dutch, and raised in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia, USA. I’m very much drawn to the Irish/Celtic folklore.
Today i took you out to coffee with me in my local ‘village’ on the Sunshine Coast Queensland, Australia. Enjoyed my long black and blueberry danish while laughing aloud at your stories. Hope you enjoyed it as much as i do when you take me to the cafe in France.😉
Your new camera appears to have some sort of ‘beauty’ filter enabled - it makes your features soft & pink and appear less like you. Your natural features are lovely. Really enjoying your channel - thank you for sharing your France with us. It’s a delightful calm at the end of the day. 🇨🇦
Mutt & Jeff, I love your humor. 🤣 I do have a question about the tower. Does it need lighting rods? Being the tallest structure for miles I imagine it is a beacon for lighting strikes?
Oooooo! Thank you Brian! I absolutely love the Irish history of Samhain, and the Tuatha de Danann this American girl has loads of books on them and lots of Leprechauns too I only collect the statues of them on my birth 3/17. Lol
Sounds like your mates vans timing out and needs a good service, Brian. Looks like a lovely day. I must say your camera expertise is getting good. Loved watching ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed the story shared about the origins of Halloween, and will check out that pod cast. Loved the music, as always, and appreciate you and all that you share. Cheers!
Samhain is also a pagan holiday which is a bit like day of the dead and thanksgiving rolled into one. It's also celebrated in Scotland. Edinborough does a big celebration too. Also, I've been looking at central France. Seems the least expensive and all the little towns are lovely.
Hey Brian, France really does have some nice towns/villages. the history and the architecture are truly amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. love from N.Y.
I love all the little villages you go through in France, so quaint. I was surprised when you said it was hilly as it always looks so flat on your journeys. Your lovely Irish lilt really calms me!! I thought Halloween was All Hallows Eve and I thought it was a pagan English festival. I guess we have the history in England and Ireland!
Kaffee, Herbst und Sonne. Dieses Leben ist soooooo schön. Halloween kommt von den Kelten und es werden die Wächter der dunklen Jahreszeit willkommen geheißen. Es ist eine seeeeeeeehr alte Tradition 😂😂😂😂❤
The views! The little towns with their clean and shiny windows (my town is mostly covered with wildfire soot) and the smooth jazz. But yes, many of us have heard the Halloween origins, since a significant portion of our 'ethnic' cultures relies on our proto-Celt ancestors, who arrived in Europe in the Early Bronze Age with with carts, cattle and cauldrons (they went everywhere in Europe). My favorite modern interpretation of fairies was in "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell", written by Susanna Clark in 2004 and presented on BBC One in 2015. Fairies are trixie and vicious ;)
Hi Brian, those glitches have occured since you have the new Sony camera. The last videos also had little 'hickups' in the middle of your talking. It seems the condition got worse. Regardless, I love your videos. And: How do you survive the instant coffee at the chateau as someone who obviously loves a good freshly brewed coffee?
Sorry for the green flashes folks.
Don't know what the craic is with that 🤨
I'll consult my production team (Dan and Nic) tomorrow and sort it.
Probably some setting to change or something 🙄
(Could be the fairies...)
Anyway hope it didn't ruin it for you!
B
You haven’t been strimming hawthorns for your neighbour, have you Brian?
Like the Fairies idea!😂
Funny how it was happening just as you telling us about the “world beyond our world” . . . The veil. . . . Ooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooo
i thought it is my graphic card in my pc ! 😂🤣
Loving the production team 😂
I knoooow that feeling when you can’t find things you just used 🤣😩 my brain is fog because I’m old now … not sure what you’re all excuses are …
But if all else fails….Blame the puppy!!! 😊 ❤❤❤❤

YES!! Puppy cuddles and a joke is (or should be) in the fine print!!
I really enjoy hearing the history, lore and culture. It's entirely new to me.
You’ve certainly got the Irish magic for storytelling Brian, so calming! Have you ever thought of doing your own Pod Cast?
Departement Creuse Brian, you're right smack in the middle of France. What a perfect setup. If you carry on with your brilliant vlogs, the departement should pay you for bringing in the tourists, us 33.700 are al ready for coming. Cheers!
The town tours are priceless. More please!
The architecture of that church was amazing! ❤
Loved the coffee and talk. The view from the top of the tower was gorgeous. I'm glad the weather is cooperating. Thanks Brian. Another day in paradise.
Hello Brian, it's very nice to see you and share your experiencing in life. I'd like to comment on your choice of musical accompaniment. It's perfect! Thank you! and take good care!
I was just going to comment on the music as well. So lovely. Perfect.
I love the rural towns you take us to on your travels.
C'est dans les vieux pots qu'on fait les meilleures confitures, c'est dans les vieilles bagnoles que la conduite est plus folle ! 🙃
Love your views of life in France. Thanks Brian. 😘
Loved hearing about the folklore it was like listening to a bedtime story 😊
Rural France looks so nice❤
France is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Brian for the video
I really enjoy your music choices. Relax with the camera, you will get used to each other with time.
Have a lovely evening
yeah I was just thinking the same. What's today's jazz tune?
I had an Old Ford Popular that required a run up hills, otherwise it slowed right down. When I eventually sold it there was a hole in the radiator and where the front passenger put their feet. In the winter I had to hit the starter motor with an iron rod. The kids these days have no idea of the fun we had back in the day.😅
Brian my two brothers live very close to the cave of the cats and this the first time I ever heard about it now I need to know more thanks for that
Thank you for such a beautiful tour of the French countryside’s.
When I saw how the light enters the top of the chapel I have to think of Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Place everybody should visit to see. Thanks Brian! I like the positive Energy! 👍🏻
Thanks for taking me along. That church was lovely. And, it was very quiet in that town, which was nice. The sun rising was stunning.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing.
❤❤❤❤
Thank you so very much for the Irish history.❤❤❤❤
Will be checking out that podcast. ❤
Another lovely morning with you! Thanks for the glimpse into the church at Saint-Leonard and your description of the peacefulness of it. Really pretty view from the tower too!
My cup of tea, I appreciate the heads-up on an interesting podcast & neat fairy story. Cheers ☕
Enjoy every video you post. Love the small towns and the coffee shops ❤❤
Enjoyable as always Brian. Keep them coming. Cheers. 🍷
LOOOOVE your reference to San Andreas! Grew up in San Francisco - The Land of the Earthquake, but I just love listening to you chat to us. And YES!

Lovely folklore ❤❤❤
another beautiful, varied vlog 👍☺
It certainly is a fabulous view.
Haloween explained.... Thanks. Lovely town for a cofee and a rub on a dog. Every time I see your face, you put a smile on mine.... 💋

What part of Ireland did you visit I’m from the middle of Ireland
Another great little tour of a lovely French town. Thank you, Brian! I always enjoy your vlogs… this one is one of my top 5. Have a good night sleep.
Stay warm, bring on the good coffee … because you have a chateau to help build 😉 and every good chateau build in France needs a good cup of coffee and some Irish sensibility
What a cool little town.
Lovely story in a lovely setting. Great choice of music too.
Cheers
Great Old History of Halloween from Ireland Thanks, Cheers form Alberta Canada.

Thanks for sharing that view! 🤩
Beautiful buildings, thnks Brian.

Brian's using a vanity filter? 😳😆
@ Likely not intentional on his part! Suspecting it may be a factory setting? It seems to engage any time he takes his sunglasses off.
😂 “appears less like you” Nice.
Mutt & Jeff, I love your humor. 🤣 I do have a question about the tower. Does it need lighting rods? Being the tallest structure for miles I imagine it is a beacon for lighting strikes?
Good question. I hope they’ve planned on the lightning rods.
Oooooo! Thank you Brian! I absolutely love the Irish history of Samhain, and the Tuatha de Danann this American girl has loads of books on them and lots of Leprechauns too I only collect the statues of them on my birth 3/17. Lol
Irish tale of Halloween was fascinating!

The mic works really well !!

There are a lot of cavities on that Chateau tower where a drill bit can be lost....😊
Lovely end of day video. Very nice.
Another great Vlog Im off to enjoy your Great weather in Limoges tomorrow !
Hello Brian! xx 🎉
Hey Brian, France really does have some nice towns/villages. the history and the architecture are truly amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. love from N.Y.
Loving the view from the top!
R's was rainy day, so Thanks for that I call Diamond View !!!💠💠💠, ohh and
Big bonfire story
As children we where always told on Halloween night the air is at its thinnest and the spirits can come through to visit ❤️☘️
Love the vlog and the tunes wer awesome 🥰🇬🇧
I love all the little villages you go through in France, so quaint. I was surprised when you said it was hilly as it always looks so flat on your journeys. Your lovely Irish lilt really calms me!! I thought Halloween was All Hallows Eve and I thought it was a pagan English festival. I guess we have the history in England and Ireland!
I'm sure you'll get your camera sorted out. 😊
Aaaaaw. You did it again Brian!
My god st Leonard is so beautiful …I’m jealous of the peaceful pace.
Kaffee, Herbst und Sonne. Dieses Leben ist soooooo schön. Halloween kommt von den Kelten und es werden die Wächter der dunklen Jahreszeit willkommen geheißen. Es ist eine seeeeeeeehr alte Tradition 😂😂😂😂❤
All I can see is OSB lol😂
Amazing views!
You make me want to go back to France! I just love every part of it! Didn’t know the history of Halloween, very interesting . Take care.
The views! The little towns with their clean and shiny windows (my town is mostly covered with wildfire soot) and the smooth jazz. But yes, many of us have heard the Halloween origins, since a significant portion of our 'ethnic' cultures relies on our proto-Celt ancestors, who arrived in Europe in the Early Bronze Age with with carts, cattle and cauldrons (they went everywhere in Europe).

Creuse is really under rated😮 that st Leonard village seems to worth the visit. Thanks for the true Halloween history
Nice easy going video today. I love the Irish Halloween story it pretty cool. Wow I love that view from the turret its amazing lucky you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love the tale of the origins of Halloween.
me thinks you got a bit of a raw deal on that camera, surely it shouldn't be flashing green right ?
Was wondering if it was just us as no one else was commenting on it. Wonder if it's the jump cuts in post that are actually causing it
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A big wiggly hello, Brian. I could listen to you talk rubbish for days.
I’ve never heard about that Halloween story. Will look into it, thanks for the education.
The new camera is a big improvement in video quality 👌👌was that van right hand drive?
Your new camera has a 'beauty face' setting vibe about it 😅
🤣
The streets in rural France towns are quite narrow!
How much are rents in a lovely town like you are in.
Again beautiful subtle soundtrack🍷🍷🍷Merci
Thank you
As always, enjoyed.
Hi Brian, those glitches have occured since you have the new Sony camera. The last videos also had little 'hickups' in the middle of your talking. It seems the condition got worse.
