Hi Gustavo & Reni. Only just seen you have joined us all on RUclips. So glad you will continue showing this Chateau for everyone. As you know we have a lot of followers who would love to watch the progress. Would you like us to plug the channel. We you try and show videos every week at a certain time so people get into the habit of watching you guys. Let us know Adrian, Carole & Beth 😃
Hello Adrian, Carol, & Beth…that would be incredible and so kind of you! We weren’t sure about sharing our process (Gustavo is a bit camera shy, haha), but it was from watching your videos that we became inspired and convinced that we should continue your work - not just the restoration but the sharing of it. So thank you for that and we hope we can do you guys justice. Sending all our love from the chateau - Gustavo & Reni. P.S. Laurent from bar du centre says hi :)
I'm so glad I can continue to watch this chateau renovation. Carol and Adrian put in so much work. Good luck and enjoy the voyage of love in the chateau.
I just found you thanks to Adrian and Carol who were the previous owners. I am so happy to follow your channel. When they were getting ready to sell it almost felt like a death but now new life will be breathed into this beautiful stately home. You will have your own way of doing things and I look forward to watching as you find your way. Just be personable and invite us along for this adventure and your subscribers will grow. Thank you for jumping in feet first and having the desire to grow your vision of what you want Chateau de la Ferte to become. I am so looking forward to watching the reawakening of the chateau and the awakening of gifts within you both that will stretch you as a couple and as friends...in a good way. Best wishes for your new endeavor. We want you to succeed and we will be with you through every step. 😃
Carol and Adrian were anxious for their fans to support your continuing their beautiful work. If you haven’t seen their journey, I reccomend you visit their channel. Your home comes with years of hard work and love. Bonne chance from Florida!
I just found your comment at Adrian and Carol's channel. Once the word gets out I'm sure that a lot of former viewers will be joining you to see the continuation of the great work they did on Chateau de la Ferte. I'm sure you will put your own stamp on the restoration. You are welcoming us and we welcome you! Good luck.
You have started behind the 8 ball for those of us coming from Carol and Adrien because you refused many of their renovations (especially the chandeliers). As a fellow American I am giving you a chance. Good luck.
@@beckysimeone4882 Not necessarily. As much as I enjoyed the previous renovation on this chateau, not all was my taste, and I'm sure this couple will have lots of new ideas. some I will love, some I won't. That's why many of us enjoy watching these channels.... the opportunity to see how others interpret a space and put their mark on it. WE are now lucky enough to see how another couple sees the chateau. I can't wait for another exciting journey.
@@beckysimeone4882 they didn’t refuse renovations, there were decorative items (chandeliers, draperies, etc.) that may not have been to their personal taste and they were at least honest about that, giving Carole and Adrian the opportunity to remove and keep those items. They could have just removed them and binned them or sold them, but they were offered back to the sellers. Not everyone has the same taste, nor should anyone expect this couple to not make changes and use their own personal decor/design preferences. If you’ve ever purchased a house, have you kept the interior decor and design as the previous owners left it? I know I haven’t - I’ve always made it my own. Like it or not, these are the new chatelaines of de la Ferte’ and they get to do whatever they want. They don’t deserve your criticism. Give them a chance before you pass judgment. ✌🏼
So glad you're going to be on RUclips, and that I can continue to follow the restoration of this Chateau. Referred by Adrian and Carol. Wishing y'all the best of luck.
❤ The end with the bird. 😂 Congratulations 🎊 👏 Can't wait to see your progress over time. Welcome to the château youtubers club. Adrian and Carol and Beth sent me. 😉👍
Thank you Gustavo and Reni for allowing us to see the continuing life of La Ferte. Looking forward to seeing how you progress with a different point of view. Especially excited to see the coach house come to life!! Adrian will be so jealous as he said this is his favourite part as you may know! I wish you all the best and I hope your channel grows to allow lots of money to help with the renovations. As someone else commented - YOU Do YOU! 😊 I know everyone is entitled to an opinion but why such nasty, negative comments? - about this first, very short introduction, to the painstaking gold work done by Carole!! - as said by a famous rabbit "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. A RUclips channel is a lot of work and should not be underrated. Stephanie paved they way for all the chateau channels. Ted and Lesa showed us what you can do with little money and a lot of imagination, to great effect. There are enough channels to please anyone, so watch one you like, I say. It seems some people are just jealous and have nothing better to do than be a "keyboard warrior" Still at least even negative comments help a channel!😃
Welcome to the chateau, I love what Carol and Adrian have done, I look forward to seeing what you will be doing. Adrian and Carol sent me to your channel. I’ve been watching them for years. They are two of the hardest and talented workers you will fine.
First time here under your new ownership. I’m excited to see the projects you tackle. May I make a suggestion. Create a clean restored space for a bedroom. This is your place to restore yourselves from your hard work, blood, sweat and tears. And for those times when your ill. It’s very important to have one space you both can relax in, free of tools, paint, dust, etc. May God bless you both and your new home.
I am so glad you have decided to start a RUclips channel, so we could watch you continue with it! I wish you luck, and I'm really excited to see the next chapter in the life of la Ferte!
I can't wait to see what you do with La Ferte. It has so many rooms left to renovate that have not been touched or are partly done, but it is liveable and has some finished rooms to be able get away from the renovations. I wish you great success and will be watching. Carole and Adrian may have left a little blood behind, but you won't fall through the floor 😂
Oh, fabulous. I followed Adrian, Carole and Beth from the very start of their journey. I'm so pleased you are picking up from where they left off and have decided to share your adventure on RUclips. Thank you. From UK.
Sent here by Adrian. I'm excited to watch your creativity with the Chateau. Hopefully, the two of you will teach the rest of us a few renovating tricks that we can apply in our homes. Welcome to the RUclips Chateau renovating community.
When I heard you say Chateau de la Ferte I did a double take. I am so excited to be able to see the continuation of the progress of this beautiful building. Thank you for including us.
Thank you so much for sharing Chateau de la Forte with us. I literally cried when Carole and Adrian announced they were selling. I was invested in seeing the Chateau being restored. THANK YOU!
Gustavo will get used to being filmed, alot of follwers from Carole, Beth and Adrian were pretty invested in watching the renovations of Chateau Le Ferte .. hopefully now we can continue to see what becomes of this gorgeous Chateau. All the best on your journey, and i hope people remember it no longer belongs to Carole,Adrian, and Beth and that they give you time to settle in and show us what youre plans are for the Chateau 😊.
You should put Chateau de la Ferte in the title so people can see the next stages of this beautiful building. I just hope you won’t turn it into modern mid century interiors like so many of the architects in France seems to do. Don’t know why they buy historical buildings then they turn the interior into Dwell’s magazine showpiece. Anyway, looking forward to what happens next with this building.
Hi, I am coming from old Chateau channel. It makes me glad that renovation continues. In YT there is nice community of chateau owners in Francewho help and visit eachothers, share tips and antiques. Previous owners knew some of them, I hope you two will find lot of friends among them too..... bc more is merrier :D
Congratulations on your new project from 🇦🇺. Looking forward to your journey with Chateau de la Ferte. I have followed Carole & Adrian from the beginning.
You know that Stephanie and Philip of Chateau Diaries are known to help other "Chateaulanders" if you need it. If is a hard task so slow and steady wins the race. Sending love and prayers from Eden North Carolina usa 🌻
I'm so excited to see the continuation of the restoration. I was saddened thinking I wouldn't be able to see the final touches. Carol and Adrian have worked so hard. You're going to be the perfect custodians. Looking forward to seeing more.
This is so exciting as I was a Chateau de la Ferte subscriber and was so sad when they sold the Chateau. Good luck with this adventure and I’m glad to be taken along on your journey 🥰🥰
Great to hear from Adrian & Carole that you’ve taken up the reigns where they left off I must say you seem an ideal couple in every way to take on this challenge. I’ll be most interested to see what you do. Good Luck! John in Monmouth 🏴
Congratulations on your beautiful purchase of the chateau, was directed here by the previous owners carol and Adrian who restored some of the rooms at a high standard, best wishes to you both on your journey looking forward to what's in store ..
No pressure. Share what you can. I'm looking forward to seeing this chateaux fully restored. Have enjoyed the restoration so far from Adrian and Carol. Thank you for continuing♥
I subscribed after Adrian told us about your channel. Le Ferte is very popular and much loved after Adrian, Carole and Beth shared their part of the restoration. Good luck with your custodianship. Looking forward to your adventures.
I was just listening to your renovate introduction! When did you live in Williamsburg, Virginia! I am 79 years old. I was born and raised here born in 1945! In the old Hospital that no longer exist. I moved away from Williamsburg in 1964 to go to college and then move to Washington DC during my professional working career moved back to Leesburg in 1996 to care for my dad briefly moved to Charlotte North Carolina in 2000 to 2007 then returned to Williamsburg and have been here ever since to take care of my elderly mother who passed away in 2014. I live in a house that was left to me, our neighbor so that I would come home and take care of my mother! So I live next to my family home in a quiet neighborhood in Williamsburg! Like you, I love the history and the quality of the buildings! So I love this country because of the history! Unlike you because I only lived in one house growing up I wanted to live in a lot of different places so I physically moved over 28 times always living in a brand new property! When I change jobs if I didn’t wanna travel in the traffic I would move so that I didn’t have to deal with that! I was young and single and we just sell all my vans and buy new ones for the new property. It was always. And they all lived a very well constructed house small but very well built colonial, like Williamsburg with a fireplace that literally is built to heat the whole house if necessary! Everything is colonial features which I love beautiful hardwood floors. I have a very large piece of Williamsburg so I enjoy walking in my garden. The one thing I loved about growing up in Williamsburg was the quality of the buildings and the furnishings! When I lived in DC, I was married for a short period of time and we bought a house that was colonial and I wanted beautiful furnishings like Williamsburg but at the time could not afford it! It ended up my husband worked as an auditor and was auditing the property in DC and they had just opened and model apartments that they were getting rid of the furnishings and they gave my husband and I a beautiful collection of colonial Williamsburg type furnishings for our living room and dining area and they gave it to us free so I ended up having the very best without spending a dime! So I’m looking forward to see the two of you with the château. I was following the previous owners and they were doing a beautiful job so I look forward to seeing what your ideas are. Best wishes I know it’s going to be a lot of work and hopefully the two of you will enjoy it. I’m sure I will enjoy watching.
It's nice to have another chateau couple posting videos. Some of us MAY be addicted... I, however, am NOT! My interest is purely academic. As a certified cabinetmaker, kitchen designer, and architectural draftsman who restored houses for a living, I'll be very interested in how things are going. Thanks for sharing your work with the world.
How exciting! So happy that you have taken on this challenge and it will be amazing! I've watched Carol and Adrian's journey with Chateau de la Ferte so this will just be more good stuff! I just returned from 3 weeks in France and closing on a 1750's stone barn that we will convert into a home! Not as grand as a chateau but big enough for me! Cheers!
So excited to be allowed to follow the story of Chateau de la Ferte. I have been there since Adrian and Carole started the renovation. I wish you all the best for this coming chapter.
It took 16 years but we can finally see Gustavo talking about his life in social media!! That's a bigger achievement than the Castle renovation!😂😂😂 Congratulations Reni!! We haven't met but i'm already a fan.
As a loyal follower of Adrian, Carole, and Beth at Chateau de la Ferte I am excited that you are sharing the next chapter in the life of this grand country home.
Just amazing! really inspirational, we’ve bought an ancient French village that has been sat abandoned for 30 years in the heart of Normandy, gaining inspiration from your vlogs and hoping ours will inspire people too. Thanks so much 🙏🏼🥳🥰 Y + P Ps..and you’re just up the road from us..how wonderful🙏🏼🥳🥰
Greetings, Gustavo & Reni! Hopefully it isn't too presumptuous to welcome you to your new home at Ferte. I see a lot of warm and welcoming comments from other subscribers to Carole, Adrian and Beth's channel. We were so vested in watching the Chateua de la Ferte coming back to life under their loving care. It is really exciting that you have taken up the challenge and are going to share your vision with us, too! Bon Chance and Allons-y!!!
Subscribed after seeing on Adrian and Carol’s channel. Look forward to seeing you continue the hard work they put in. I want to see that coach house done🙌
Lovely new Chapter in your lives moving to a Chateau. I’m sure with your skills and knowledge it’ll be glorious. I’m sure you’ll be speaking French fluently in no time. Btw you could just throw a blanket over the bird to remove it quicker and less stressful for the bird
Congrats and good luck to you both, I look forward to following you new journey,and I’m happy that us,that have followed Carole and Adrian, can continue to follow the chateau “part two” renovation with you guys, greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Welcome in France, and all my best ! If I may, Carole and Adrian were very nice people with probably good intentions, but the results of their restoration were a bit (how can I put it right ?) confusing ? Weird ? They turned a rural mansion into some sort of bling-bling residence, white fabrics and fake gold everywhere, gilded items here and there, and they also partially destroyed the original simple and elegant décors on this purpose… So, I don't know what your plans are, but maybe keep in mind that this sort of property was meant to be simple, consistent with the landscapes, the area and the neighbourhood. But I guess an architect knows more than me about it 🙂 Anyway, good luck, and all my best once again !
Me too sent by previous owners Carol and Adrian. So sad they sold it but I get it hey need to be closer to work and family. Sooo good luck to you both, going to follow your adventure and see what you are up to. Nice to hear you plan to have folks invited to your Chateau and fill it with fun and good times. Me from Pa of USA.
Welcome to Chateau de la Ferte. I have followed Adrian and Carole for I think three years. They just sent me here. Adrian and Carole have done marvelous work to try and stabilize the Chateau. I will be interested in seeing what your ideas are. So I am very familiar with the house.
I can't believe I just stumbled on you. I followed Carole and Adrian's channel and I was so disappointed I wouldn't be able to see the chateau finished. 😊
Good for you😊 guys..excited to watch the next chapter ….I was following this château and wondered who bought it… it may help to put the chatter name in the title… because of the fans who have been watching the Reno for many years… the last owners did a lot of detail…. Excited to see what is left to do
I was a big fan of Adrian and Carole and chateau de la Ferte so happy you are doing a utube channel too!!looking forward to your vision for this grand old chateau. Folliwing from The Okanagan in BC 🇨🇦👏👏❤
Heard you were doing this on Adrian and Carole's channel. I would love to see your Chateau finished. They got quite a bit done, but there is so much more to do. Congratulations on such a beautiful place.
Past follower of the Chateau just came across you and liked the humour in your title, and you are young and I thought there would be a different spin on things, love that you are doing this as we get to see you follow on from Adrian and Carol 😊❤
Lovely! Subscribed! Spent my childhood in Curitiba I know Avenida Paulista from the late seventies and early nineties, but it was so overwhelming, absolutely love the photo of the once small street with lovely mansions, absolutely stunning. Cheers from the Southwest of Ireland (which looks a lot like Curitiba including some araucárias).
As so many others have said I am so looking forward to seeing you put your stamp on the chateau, having watched Carol and Adrian from the beginning. Happy renovating!
Thank you for sharing your new adventure. It is your experience, separate from others. You are the new custodians. Cannot wait for what you do. Muitas felicidades
I enjoyed watching the previous owners care for this Chateau was heartbroken when they decided to give up on her so unfollowed their channel so HAPPY to see new owners and thrilled you are sharing a RUclips channel! Congratulations I will follow!
I am sure these two new home owners appreciate the remedial work that has been put into this lovely chateau. But at the same time they are free to put their own stamp on it, make it their own and not feel that they have to live in someone else's dream. I look forward to what they will do with it, changes they make and restorations they embark on.
Hey Oregon, I watched Carole and Adrien throughout their voyage, glad I found you so early!!! I was also born in Oregon, moved to Alaska, been in Paris for 36 years...for a different artistic field!!! Break a leg!!!
Do you! I’m excited to watch your journey. I can see from comments this will be hard for you but I think you can find your audience. Sometimes it’s good to acknowledge the elephant in the room e.g. Carol & Adrian vs your style in this instance, so when you have time, take us on that journey (which I’m sure you have planned already). ❤️🇦🇺🌺

Where on RUclips can I see your original renovation of Chateau La Ferte? (I am already subscribed to your Life After La Ferte channel.)
@@meridiefricker4156 if you scroll back to our old videos they are all of the chateau 😊 you should be able to view them in date order!
Directed here by the former owners, Carol and Adrian. Congrats on the purchase, and good luck with the renos!
So glad you are continuing Carole and Adrian’s work on de la Ferte
i thought the name sounded familiar
I'm so glad I can continue to watch this chateau renovation. Carol and Adrian put in so much work. Good luck and enjoy the voyage of love in the chateau.

As an Oregonian and a follower of Adrian and Caroles channel, I am so excited to follow your channel and am really looking forward to the journey.
How nice for the old girl to have your youth and enthusiasm
So glad such a great couple has bought the Chateau. Always watched Adrain and Carol. Good luck with your adventure.
Thank you Gustavo and Reni for allowing us to see the continuing life of La Ferte. Looking forward to seeing how you progress with a different point of view. Especially excited to see the coach house come to life!! Adrian will be so jealous as he said this is his favourite part as you may know!

How lovely to keep following La Fertes journey!
Have fun. Pleased to see the chateau has new custodians.
I used to watch Adrian and Carol so glad to see that you are continuing to document and show us the continued work on this Château.

It's nice to have another chateau couple posting videos. Some of us MAY be addicted... I, however, am NOT! My interest is purely academic. As a certified cabinetmaker, kitchen designer, and architectural draftsman who restored houses for a living, I'll be very interested in how things are going. Thanks for sharing your work with the world.
Oh No! Another Chateau! I'm on board!!!!! Looking forward to your great successes! Best to you form Maine, USA! Peace
It will be Good to see a continuation of this restoration. Can’t wait to see more progress. Thank you for joining and sharing with the world.
How exciting! So happy that you have taken on this challenge and it will be amazing! I've watched Carol and Adrian's journey with Chateau de la Ferte so this will just be more good stuff! I just returned from 3 weeks in France and closing on a 1750's stone barn that we will convert into a home! Not as grand as a chateau but big enough for me! Cheers!
So excited to be allowed to follow the story of Chateau de la Ferte. I have been there since Adrian and Carole started the renovation. I wish you all the best for this coming chapter.
Welcome to your Chateau at La Ferte. Found out about you via Adrian & Carole who sold you your Chateau. Wishing you fun, laughter & ton’s creativity.
Cannot wait to see what you add to Carole and Adrian’s old chateau
Adrian mentioned your channel so came and subscribed.
Don’t overthink the video’s, please show us all.
It took 16 years but we can finally see Gustavo talking about his life in social media!! That's a bigger achievement than the Castle renovation!😂😂😂 Congratulations Reni!! We haven't met but i'm already a fan.
It's definitely our biggest achievement so far - thank you for the kind words !
So excited to see the continued renovation of the Chateau.
FINALLY! So excited to share this journey with you guys :)
As a loyal follower of Adrian, Carole, and Beth at Chateau de la Ferte I am excited that you are sharing the next chapter in the life of this grand country home.
Just amazing! really inspirational, we’ve bought an ancient French village that has been sat abandoned for 30 years in the heart of Normandy, gaining inspiration from your vlogs and hoping ours will inspire people too.
Thanks so much 🙏🏼🥳🥰 Y + P
Ps..and you’re just up the road from us..how wonderful🙏🏼🥳🥰

Bonjour je suis ravi que vous repreniez le château de la ferté c'est une bonne nouvelle
Greetings, Gustavo & Reni!
Hopefully it isn't too presumptuous to welcome you to your new home at Ferte. I see a lot of warm and welcoming comments from other subscribers to Carole, Adrian and Beth's channel. We were so vested in watching the Chateua de la Ferte coming back to life under their loving care. It is really exciting that you have taken up the challenge and are going to share your vision with us, too!
Bon Chance and Allons-y!!!
SOOO Excited y’all are continuing to love and care for “Ferte.” Good luck and will follow your epic
Journey
Subscribed after seeing on Adrian and Carol’s channel. Look forward to seeing you continue the hard work they put in. I want to see that coach house done🙌
OH YEAH !!! ANOTHER CHATEAU CHANNEL !!! LOOKING FORWARD TO EVERYTHING !!! Bisous de Montréal xxx
Lovely new Chapter in your lives moving to a Chateau. I’m sure with your skills and knowledge it’ll be glorious. I’m sure you’ll be speaking French fluently in no time. Btw you could just throw a blanket over the bird to remove it quicker and less stressful for the bird
Look forward to follow your progress and see if you tastes will defer from Adrian and carol. Bonne chance et Bon courage .❤
Congrats and good luck to you both, I look forward to following you new journey,and I’m happy that us,that have followed Carole and Adrian, can continue to follow the chateau “part two” renovation with you guys, greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Welcome in France, and all my best !
If I may, Carole and Adrian were very nice people with probably good intentions, but the results of their restoration were a bit (how can I put it right ?) confusing ? Weird ? They turned a rural mansion into some sort of bling-bling residence, white fabrics and fake gold everywhere, gilded items here and there, and they also partially destroyed the original simple and elegant décors on this purpose…
So, I don't know what your plans are, but maybe keep in mind that this sort of property was meant to be simple, consistent with the landscapes, the area and the neighbourhood. But I guess an architect knows more than me about it 🙂
Anyway, good luck, and all my best once again !
Me too sent by previous owners Carol and Adrian. So sad they sold it but I get it hey need to be closer to work and family. Sooo good luck to you both, going to follow your adventure and see what you are up to. Nice to hear you plan to have folks invited to your Chateau and fill it with fun and good times. Me from Pa of USA.
Love this first video. I am looking forward to getting to know you and seeing your own style come to life in this beautiful place.
Welcome to Chateau de la Ferte. I have followed Adrian and Carole for I think three years. They just sent me here. Adrian and Carole have done marvelous work to try and stabilize the Chateau.
I will be interested in seeing what your ideas are.
So I am very familiar with the house.
I can't believe I just stumbled on you. I followed Carole and Adrian's channel and I was so disappointed I wouldn't be able to see the chateau finished. 😊
Good for you😊 guys..excited to watch the next chapter ….I was following this château and wondered who bought it… it may help to put the chatter name in the title… because of the fans who have been watching the Reno for many years… the last owners did a lot of detail…. Excited to see what is left to do
I was a big fan of Adrian and Carole and chateau de la Ferte so happy you are doing a utube channel too!!looking forward to your vision for this grand old chateau. Folliwing from The Okanagan in BC 🇨🇦👏👏❤
Heard you were doing this on Adrian and Carole's channel. I would love to see your Chateau finished. They got quite a bit done, but there is so much more to do. Congratulations on such a beautiful place.
Past follower of the Chateau just came across you and liked the humour in your title, and you are young and I thought there would be a different spin on things, love that you are doing this as we get to see you follow on from Adrian and Carol 😊❤
Lovely! Subscribed! Spent my childhood in Curitiba I know Avenida Paulista from the late seventies and early nineties, but it was so overwhelming, absolutely love the photo of the once small street with lovely mansions, absolutely stunning. Cheers from the Southwest of Ireland (which looks a lot like Curitiba including some araucárias).
Yayyy! Excited to see the continuation of this beautiful chateau!
So excited to see what you do!!! 😊
I’m here and followed the chateau’s progress so far. Soooo happy you started a channel!!! I’m here for your renovation!!!
Looking forward to see how you guys work out.
As so many others have said I am so looking forward to seeing you put your stamp on the chateau, having watched Carol and Adrian from the beginning. Happy renovating!
Can’t wait to see your restoration of it!!
Can't wait to see your vision and progress. Thanks for creating your channel and sharing with the world.
This is what I was hoping for!! thanks Adrian for sending us here.
Thank you for sharing your new adventure. It is your experience, separate from others. You are the new custodians. Cannot wait for what you do. Muitas felicidades
I enjoyed watching the previous owners care for this Chateau was heartbroken when they decided to give up on her so unfollowed their channel so HAPPY to see new owners and thrilled you are sharing a RUclips channel! Congratulations I will follow!
So glad you are starting your utube channel.Just heard about you from Adrian and Carole and Beth.
I am a former viewer of the chateau. Excited to see what you do
Interesting. Hope as you work to make this chateau your own, you will honor the enormous amount of work done by Carol and Adrian.
I am sure these two new home owners appreciate the remedial work that has been put into this lovely chateau. But at the same time they are free to put their own stamp on it, make it their own and not feel that they have to live in someone else's dream. I look forward to what they will do with it, changes they make and restorations they embark on.
@@deirdrecerasa3932 with less flamboyant taste hopefully.
@@marionwalter3873 The remedial work? Nothing remedial about replacing that floor.
@@lindamounts2193 From the Cambridge dictionary: "A remedial action is intended to correct something that is wrong or to improve a bad situation:"
Best of luck I’ll be watching and pulling for you best of luck!
Hey Oregon, I watched Carole and Adrien throughout their voyage, glad I found you so early!!! I was also born in Oregon, moved to Alaska, been in Paris for 36 years...for a different artistic field!!! Break a leg!!!
Do you! I’m excited to watch your journey. I can see from comments this will be hard for you but I think you can find your audience. Sometimes it’s good to acknowledge the elephant in the room e.g. Carol & Adrian vs your style in this instance, so when you have time, take us on that journey (which I’m sure you have planned already). ❤️🇦🇺🌺
Adrian, Carole, and Beth sent me. Watching from MA, USA.
Looking forward to your videos! It was a shame it was not finished! Good luck!
