Fabulous Darlene and Sean.... such hard work but what a wonder you have created. The simple house is truly becooming a mansion! You are obviously very happy in the Dordogne.
OH GOSH! Just WOW you two...we are so impressed with what you've done in such a short time really! We were only there with you in Spring and look at the amazing changes already! It looks STUNNING! We hope that one day we can get back and sit under that amazing canopy of "scrumptiousness" and share another bottle of vin rosé with you lovely people! But don't forget...Tuscany awaits you too! Big bisous and best of wishes for Christmas and the New Year, Marisa & David 🥰🤗😘💖🥂🥂🥂
Thank you so much Marisa et David! You do know that when we return to Italy (hopefully late next year) we will definitely be knocking on your door!Renovations, like you know, are enduring but so very rewarding when completed. Thank you and all the best for you and a wonderful, joyous festive season. Gros bisous 😘
@@DarleneLavett awww I think that sounds perfect! Our little apartment should be totally complete next Spring, so you'd be welcome! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year in your beautiful abode...it will be heavenly I'm sure. Best wishes and bisous to you all! 🥰🤗😘
Merci et oui nos invités étaient vraiment très à l'aise ! Parmi eux, notre maire de Daglan, des membres de la municipalité, un chef cuisinier réputé, des chefs d'entreprises locales et un ou deux musiciens très talentueux. Ce fut une soirée incroyable.
Lovely surprise, an update! Wow Sean you excelled yourself the terrace looks wonderful. Great interpretation of Darlenes idea board. Darlene your path looks really good and being higher you will keep dry paws and feet. Glad to see you are still hosting Fun Centrale👌👏👏👏🤣🤣🥳🥳😞Have a brilliant holiday season🩷🩷🩷🩷
How exquisite, it's absolute perfection, every detail. You two have worked so hard. What a team. Thank you for sharing with us all again Darlene and Shaun. Hugs Helen, East Gippsland Australia
It looks amazing!! The table that Shaun made is fantastic and fits so beautifully with the overall look!❤❤Great job, you two, teamwork makes the dream work❤
Thanks so much Hanna! We’ve really found our groove knowing who can do what and how to problem solve along the way. To see Shaun make a table that size out of 5 big slabs of oak was quite amazing, plus it was a quarter of the price it would have cost to buy something retail 😊
Thank you Nerida! We’ve had many neighbours and residents in the village comment. Everyone is just so happy that we are investing in the community and bringing life and love to this little village.
Guys, glad to see you again. You've done an excellent job on the Pergola with the help of your very clever local forgeron. Isn't it wonderful that these artisans still exist. Dreams do come true! We hope life is continuing to go well for you both. BW. Maria e Rowan
Thank you! It really is incredible to get something at that scale in metalwork custom made (by Monsieur Bichon from Sarlat) and to enjoy the beautiful Autumn we had in that space was wonderful.
Darlene you have a special and very talented husband there, great to also see the local Blacksmith also engaged for all the metal works. You have such a wonderful life there in Daglan, is it a little better than Manly Qld? Take care, god bless and hope you have a Merry White Christmas 🎄
Hello again 👋 and yes I agree, I am one very lucky girl! Life is great here but then again it’s all about your mindset I believe! We set out together to do something different with all intentions of it working out and so far so good. Carpe diem! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy some time to rest and rejoice. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thanks Sharon. I promise there’s more to come! The next vlog will show the work we’ve done to renovate and decorate our French salon. C'est tres chic et glamour 😊
Nice job for the pergola but I'm surprised that you did not use electrical sheath ("gaine électrique ICTA" in French) to protect the cable from the concrete and to be able to change it if necessary in the future. I even think it is mandatory to respect the French norm NFC-15-100.
Absolutely beautiful. Great job.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕💕
Aww thank you Annie! 🙏
Wow your new terrace looks amazing 🤩
Merci beaucoup for your lovely msg.
Magnifique. Tout est fait avec beaucoup de goût. Merci de faire travailler les artisans locaux.
Merci ! La finition et la qualité sont incomparables. Notre prochain projet de ferronnerie sera la balustrade de l'escalier.
Darlene & Sean, sooooooo very beautiful. Love your vlog happy holidays Colorado Cherri
Thank you Cherri and happy holidays to you 😊

Thank you so much Helen from beautiful Gippsland! I worked in Sale at the RAAF Base for a number of years and really enjoyed that part of the world.
The gravel matches the stone color
Yes, it’s so nice you noticed that. I wanted to ensure the colours were correct for the Périgord Noir region.
It looks amazing!! The table that Shaun made is fantastic and fits so beautifully with the overall look!❤❤Great job, you two, teamwork makes the dream work❤

The patio has turned out just lovely. Your wisteria is going to be stunning trailing over the top of it.
Thank you ☺️ and fortunately the wisteria just loves the free draining acidic soil here.
It's great to see you guys again.
