#35 Weather damaged garden and a chicken with a foot abscess.
Hi everyone,
It has been raining very heavy here over the past few days so by this weekend it's a pleasure to have the sun out. My poor flowers have taken a bashing and one of my chickens has bumblefoot ( foot abcess) so I need to sort that out.

    What fun! I loved our fabric shop. I took sewing lessons as a preteen. I really enjoyed them. When I started teaching I started sewing again. It came back just like that…🤌I made historical costumes for Halloween. Just gazing at the choices was a pleasure. Then it closed.😕

    Sian thank you for the lovely travel log. I spent two days in Paris some years ago and always wanted to come back to see more of the country. Not happening now so I have to live vicariously through RUclips videos like yours. I’m totally fascinated by the architecture in France. I live in Australia and we don’t have the old buildings that are over there on the continent. I’m also a sewist so appreciate watching your work. I’m a quilter now but made clothes from about 12 years old until my daughter commandeered my machine when she was 13! I was introduced to your channel by Jenny and Nick who I hold very dear to my heart. RUclips somehow unsubscribed me so I have some catching up to do. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

    How interesting to watch the digger. You've done a great job leveling out and raking out the debris. The pile of rocks! And the interesting finds. After the seeding, I imagine by now you have a beautiful grassy area. The filming of the storm! It may have been scary for you, but on screen here, the tree branches moved so beautifully in the wind.

    What a delight watching this Spring time video the end of September. How beautiful are the grounds! Your plans for a sewing room would be perfect! I would just break enough of the brick wall to make a door into a bathroom. There would be no need to walk outside. I'm sure it's easier said than done. The roof tiles look like fish scales! Such a beautiful design.

    • @hiddenawayinfrance
      @hiddenawayinfrance 16 дней назад

      I agree with you about making the doorway, maybe if I put in a glass door then it can double up as a window. Then it can be lovely and bright inside. Thanks for watching xx

    Another inspiring video Sian, and relaxing too. Your sewing room looks so inviting and colourful. I love, and feel in my 'Happy Place' when looking at all your many stacks of beautifully colourful and textural fabrics on your shelves. And imagine ALL the many and varied creation's that, you have crated in 'your room' over the years; that have built up an ambience of concentrated 'intention' imbibed and infused with your fondness and love for what you do...with SUCH skill! The dress is so ethereal and gentle in it's style and colour. It was lovely seeing your day at Sara and Stephen's. How 'magical' and fun it looked. 😊

    • @hiddenawayinfrance
      @hiddenawayinfrance 27 дней назад

      I had just noticed that when I was editing the film. I suspect it comes down to finances but it would help keep the walls watertight. I read somewhere there that at one time the houses were rendered and that all the stone being exposed is more recent. Hence why pointing would not have been needed with rendering but now it is. Sorry for the long reply! Thanks for watching.
