New Lives in France - Episode 5 - Kirsty and her life in the French countryside as a gardener at Château de Lalande - In the fifth episode of my new series, New Lives in France, I meet up with gardener at Château de Lalande, Kirsty. Why did Kirsty make the move over to France? How did she end up working at one of Escape to the Chateau’s (now Chateau DIY) most well-known chateaux? And where does she find the time to look after all of her beautiful animals? Find out all this and more in this episode of New Lives in France.
Subscribe to my channel so you never miss a video! I'll share my slow living videos and chat to you about my new life living in France in the countryside - with lots of stunning shots of France and French culture that you won’t want to miss. I’ll also share some home improvement tips and tricks and how-to videos, as well as tips on how to live on a budget in the countryside in France. Plus, my new series ‘New Lives in France’, where I chat with people who have made the move to start a new life in France, will go out once a month. I hope this will inspire you! With guest appearances from my chickens and cats, of course!

Kirsty has the right kind of peronality for a life in France. Try anything, live like the locals, be self sufficient. She also fits in well with the crew at Lalande, her workplace, humour, self starting and kind.

[@LifeinLaCampagne]

That's very true! Thanks for watching :)

[@SurrealSaDiabel]

Kristy is an actual goddess of the land. I mean just look at her with her animals. She's a dream.

I've seen her on Chateau Diaries...

I'm a fan of Kirsty too! She is always a positive person with a warm smile. So nice to find this episode about her & her partner and their new home.

[@LifeinLaCampagne]

[@rayn8740]

Everybody loves Kirsty! She is a mighty force in the garden and with all of her furry and feathered friends. Stephanie and Dan are really lucky to have her on the staff at Chateau de Lalande. The garden, flower beds, hedges and mote have been transformed. It's been a monumental task, all captured on multiple vlogs. Kirsty's witty and brite and she's become a RUclips star in her own right. Kirsty rocks!

[@LifeinLaCampagne]

She is lovely :) The series airs once a month - can't wait to share the next episode with you :) Thanks for watching.

[@libbyanderson3752]

@@LifeinLaCampagne Haven't seen the next episode and this was posted 12 months ago. What's happened? Would welcome another episode with Kirsty to see how her garden has developed. Guess she might be too busy as she's always on the go.

Kirsty is a sweetheart to know and admire, uncomplicated, no ego, kind to all animals and humans, hard working , great gardener , I imagine that if she is your friend then you are a very lucky person.

She is a natural gardener and grower of beautiful plants and animals!
All the best to her!

I would have liked to see inside the house. Kirsty is such a happy friendly person, a x very busy with all those animals to look after!

[@LifeinLaCampagne]

Thank you for watching :)

[@gnarbeljo8980]

I think keeping a fine line of professionalism and integrity is important to Kirsty (amd refreshing imo). Her private rooms, relations etc isn't relevant as she's not a lifestyle vlogger. She's generous with exposure as it is considering she's a gardener and small farmer/homesteader and not in the mediaexposure business.
She's a great asset to Lalande as head gardener and soon with a new assistant and clearly has a life of her own that has a different focus than the chatelaines.
Respect. ❤️
