Great vid. You did a lot of work properly. For me the biggest transformation had to be the kitchen, a real classy job.

I feel your pain, I have experienced the youtube subscriber count issues too. I make my videos when I can. But it is not easy and it takes too much time in my opinion. I will never get to the 1000 subs to get monetized but I am not looking at that aspect or it will get me down. Keep going as your videos have good content, I keep going because it is just a bit of fun to record stuff for family to look back on. Keep your pecker up. Regards Dave

The horse might have an abssess in it's hoof and the person who owns it might be aware but you could tell them. I don't know much about this but the earlier it's dealt with the better it will be for the horse and more than likely the cheaper the bill will be. If it develops the more expensive the farrier bills will be and more than likely vet treatment.

No worries at all mate. Any time 🇫🇷👍

step by step , keep going 😉

Good luck with the move, hope it goes well and you find a house soon.

Bon Voyage.

looking forward to catching up with you on your new adventure

Know the feeling on being busy moving stuff. Thats all I have been doing on my own in the last three weeks on my on throwing things out that I can not take back to England from France I had such a lot such a shame I could not has I have nowhere to put it. Plus cutting the trees and tiding up in the big garden plus cleaning and painting,, wood work it was never ending and all this on my own . I am upset that I will not be ever going back there in 18yrs of owning the property , but not the same on my own now, Good luck with the move 😘

This is just a suggestion you guys need to get the clip on microphones so we can hear what you’re saying

Poor horse really has a problem. I wonder if it has scratches,might need to see a vet.

i don't get the youtube algoritm , were stuck at 1400 for ages , loosing like you 5 , 10 , gaining the same amount ... i know , we don't post every week tho , might be that .. hope for you you find the right place , just think the videos you make are a memory also for you in the first place 😉 all the best 🤗

Has he got a stone in his hoof😢😢😢❤

I hope you stay on if you enjoy making the videos. The same happens to us - I just told my husband we had 2 new Subscribers then when I looked again 1 was gone. That has happened a few times to our channel.

Keep going guys ..we're interested to see your journey.. it takes time to find a good fitting property.

Must get you down a bit. Just found you, having a bit of a bing and hope to see more of you

1 cabbage, 1 sprout, did you take turns making the tea.

I never peel new potatoes, scrape them if you want, I just think it's a matter of taste.

Well done, sweet pastry can be a bit of a bu..er, you mastered it

Mate, don’t be too disheartened. It’s a struggle for sure. I’m certainly no RUclips expert and my channel isn’t doing amazing so take from my advice what you want. It may help 1- To get monetised you need 1000 subs and 4000 watch hours (in any 12 months). To give you any idea on how much you’ll get. A video either 16000 views will get you around 100 euros. You’ve then got to pay tax on that 2 - Make videos that you enjoy watching yourselves 3 - Be careful of a lengthy intro. Your last two videos didn’t have an intro which is good I believe. The reason being is the first 30 secs of any video so so so important. Audience retention needs to be over 60% otherwise the algorithm won’t push your video anymore. 4 - your title and your thumbnail is very important too. What you promise the potential viewer in the title and thumbnail needs to be delivered within the first 30 secs. 5 - keep an eye on your stats in RUclips studio 6 - people love consistency, so pick a day and frequency of videos and stick to it. 7 - as you know likes and comments are very important as you know. Even a thumbs down is good too. Ask the viewers a question in your video and ask them to reply in the comment. People love to give advice 8 - never get merch. It seems to be the kiss of death lol 9 - I’ve noticed your phantom 3. Do footage of your house and garden. 10 - spend time working your video in the video subscription - it’s called SEOs - search engine optimisation. RUclips is linked to google so if someone is searching for something on google, and the phrase or sentence is in your video description it should highlight the video to them. 11 - don’t be too disheartened. It’s gonna take a while Good luck guys. Hopefully this is of help Rob

Apparently 70% of YT channels close within 18 months because of the time and effort required to produce a channel /lack of viewers/problems with YT. I also read that there are a lot of scammers target channels and RUclipsrs have been stalked by dodgy people [mainly in the USA] maybe that's why YT have unsubscribed some suspect viewers. I think the best thing is to keep your actual exact location out of the picture. I found your house on Google Maps in minuets because you told us [I'm not nuts] I just wanted to see how close you were to Reims because I lived there once. I also think there are quite a few channels out there with the same or a similar name to your channel, maybe it's time for a slight change especially with the exciting new property in the near future [if you do let us all know]. I am loyal to new beginnings and love to see how people turn around a property in need of either a complete reno/modernisation or TLC, I think most people like to be 'in on it' from the start. You've already got great personalities and informative skills and I'm looking forward to seeing how Lorraine transforms a garden/veggie patch. So I predict lots more viewers for the new place. Sorry for the long post.

I know exactly how you feel, I have the same happen to me, last year I lost 135 subscribers in less than a week, last month 50! contacted youtube who are a waste of time, they just seem to look after the big boys.. when you think of the hours filming, editing, etc etc it makes you wonder if its all worth while.. I almost closed my channel last month, and I'm still on the fence.. take care cheers

Hi, sorry to hear u are both down, the subscribing thing is normal, we go up & down like a yo yo, its an emotional roller coaster, keep going with it though, we would miss watching u both if u stopped, keep your chins up ❤

Hi sorry i not been able to watch as in France at my house but no Internet i am in the process of selling mine as my husband died and does not seem quite right here now as it is a,same😢 as love it here don't give up RUclips you need to advertise on fb that you are going to put a vlog out Hooe that helps ❤

Please, don’t give up. I really like your channel! Looking forward to see you both! We get you to your 300 subscribers. Just don’t give up!

Keep the faith folks, your videos are always interesting.

It is sad that your leaving but you've don right by the new owners sorting all the problems out so there's little for them to do. One day maybe you can show/ explain those tattoo's. From what I can see they look amazing.

Sorry about your lack of luck house hunting. Whereabouts are you looking? I could keep an eye out for you. You after something to do up?

I have a septic tank/soak away shared with my neighbour. We haven't had it cleaned out for 5 years and although that's considered a long time it's working ok. We've recently had a quote for £450 [we pay half each] a much higher price than last time. I wish I was on mains drains because I've had to rod it out a few times due to blockages [baby wipes-not my fault] and it's not a job for the faint hearted. By the way the horse has FEATHER MITES [the hairy parts of the lower leg/heel/fetlock area are called feathers] I can tell because he has classic symptoms. There is a wealth of info on Google and YT about them. The condition looks petty advanced enough to warrant a vets visit which will have to include the feather being clipped off [it will grow back] If untreated they will get so bad that it causes life long very painful problems. The leg stamping is a sign of being in distress already. Sos for sounding like a bit of 'know it all' but I cringed watching him struggling.

I enjoyed the drive through the lovely woods. Very pretty place. You have such a wealth of antiques in France. We’re relatively a very young country, not so much old stuff around.

Our Dear little Paddy, 14.5 y.o. Shi Tzu passed away 3 weeks ago. We miss him so much. Cute Short!

4 mins in, did somebody fart? lol

Bumper crop considering they were grown in raised beds. I hope the dog is feeling better. Good look with the house search, can't wait for the new reno.

Sorry to hear you’ve both been ill. So far we’ve avoided it but several friends have had the virus again.

I don’t think you have to peel them I never do as long as you give them a good scrub they say most of the goodness is in the skin

Lol! 😂 😅😂 They are sprouts! I think!

Not a bad crop of potatoes , I think they look like cabbages

I hope you don’t give up. I really like your videos! Wish you a lot of subscribers.

Wow, I could hear the wind hauling the whole time. Sorry, that it didn’t work out with the new house.

im taking a guess you live in burgundy 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Good repair on the gate with the tools you had available. All the Great War remembrance stuff was very touching especially the 'modern art' looking trio of statues. Hope your both feeling better now.

Sorry to hear you have had covid hope you both feeling better now, Its a bummer when you pack stuff away and then you need something typical

Hope your both feeling ok now, its the little jobs that take up the time... thanks for sharing cheers

You do need to peel those new potatoes!

😂

Do you eat the Carp?

Great tip!

lovely tatters 👍 we had birds nesting last year inside , they so lovely 🥰 congrats with the signing

What a lovely video. Well done for doing right by the birds. I've never seen potato plants that tall but the spuds looked good cooked. It really is amazing what the owners of the gite have done to the place and it was nice to see mares and foals out in the sunshine. I have worked with horses all my life as a BHS [British Horse Society] qualified riding instructor and I never get tired of looking at horses. Can't wait for the move.

What made you decide to move ?
