I am now taking bets on how many black cats you’ll end up keeping. They are adorable. Great visit, thank you
😂🤣
I look forward to your videos! Your one of my favorite.
Mine too.
Me too!
Mine too. I often fall behind due to babysitting duties but then I catch up.
You two are my favorite!!! Has the Wall Street Journal followed you two?? They should. You are creative, inspirational, and a joy to watch. I look forward to your blog every week.
A Flying Bat -OH NO!! Isn’t that a flying mouse? Don’t open Door 😜😜😜😜
We get bats in our cottage all the time! Best way to get them out: open a window and set a lit flashlight on the sill. Shut off all of the lights. It will find the open window and fly out very quickly!
Everything looks so lovely in and around your Chateau. Well done, as always.
I’ll be right over for coffee and croissants ❤
Don't forget to take your complimentary kitten and or cat🙀when you go!!!
The WSJ doesn't understand your wonderful dry sense of humor. I enjoy your videos.
Top notch channel and two great people ❤️
I love your videos I look forward to them thank you for a little peace in my life ❤️
1. Best Story Telling, 2. Best Music, 3. Best Cinematography, 4. Best Ads, 5. Best Personalities and not necessarily in that order! 😊
The cats look so satisfied about the drone!
As if they are saying, “What? A few teeth marks bother you? Our feline selves are not concerned!” About the WAPO article, I will try to find it. Your chateau looks beautiful as always. Glad you visited another one during Heritage Days-and decided yours was the correct size! About the bat, do you have chimney screens for all the chimneys? Or could one have slipped? The beauty that surrounds you must help, when you get a chance to look around. Thanks again for sharing your challenges and victories!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Keep one kitty and make it an even 10!! 😉
Hope mom and kittens find good homes. This week we too trapped a mom cat and 4 kittens. Took 2 days of searching for the hidden kittens but we (many people came together to help) got them all. I wish people would be responsible cat owners and spay and neuter. Here in the city in Canada most cats live indoors but there are still too many left to fend for themselves. Hope you and Lincoln have a better week coming up Amanda.
💐 ~ It's hard to imagine your videos getting anymore aesthetically beautiful - but they do and the music 🎶 when you were cutting ✂️ flowers in your garden was simply sublime ~ 💝
Magnesium Glycinate, at dinner time, chamomile tea, and about 10 pistachios nuts. 👍🏻😁 Good luck !
Love zinnias,donkeys,cats, and dogs. Good job with bat and bedroom.🇺🇸💖
I appreciate your hard work and dedication in restoring the chateau and including us in the trials and triumphs of your journey. It is so inspiring. When I find my cottage in France, I realise that it will not be “smooth sailing” every day. However, I will know how fortunate I am and that will help keep my dream intact. Lincoln and Amanda you are doing such a remarkable job with your home and your dedication to it is so encouraging. Thank you for bringing us with you 🇫🇷
🫣 ~ Bats 🦇🦇🦇 in the Belfry!!! 😵💫
Magnesium glycinate works amazing for me. I used to wake up at 3am like clockwork and the mg keeps me out the entire night and makes me feel refreshed
Bless you for helping rescuing a mama cat and her kittens. I think we have a vacancy sign out front saying all strays are welcome. We spay neuter and have taken our kitties to a no kill cat shelter called Simply Cats 😽💖 I just love those lil black Panthers 🥰
🐈⬛
It was very brave of Lincon to go into the room with the large bat flying around. Great video as always. Hope the kittens and their mum find a good home. ❤
I take magnesium at bedtime. It quiets your nerves. I also do a hot bath soak in Epsom salts when I'm really on edge. Pamper yourself.
Aren’t those Kittens cutie they look like they may have a long coat too , not so much around there heads but down there backs . I hope they find a great home . 🐈⬛😻
Always look forward to your vlog. Calming, inspiring and..cats..dogs..donkeys!!❤😂
Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed week! Hurricane winds here this past week.
Insomnia: strict sleep schedule, boring book @ bedside, melatonin, some say chamomile. Boring book is my go to.
Black kitties ... just in time for Halloween! They are all beautiful. ❤💕💕💕
Beautiful video. Good luck with your insomnia. I have yet to find a solution. ❤
Fingers crossed for more croissants and cappuccinos and fewer bats!
Your videos are so fun to watch! I look forward to each one and hope you keep doing this for a long time. I even love the footage of building the french drain. It is so interesting watching you guys problem solve and work with what you have instead of knocking it down and rebuilding. Also..work 24 hours a week, drain bank account, live in the place you love, love the work you do, have your soul recharged regularly...SOLD!
Amanda, I use castor oil on my face and eyelids. That helps with sleep, I also love love thunderstorms videos, they put me out instantly!
But it’s so sticky. I tried it a couple of times. What a mess !
@@annlyon144 I rather have that mess than face creams with all kinds of harmful ingredients. I shower as soon as i get home from work, and dab the oil on my face, by the time I go to bed its absorbed into my skin.
Caster oil…omg…the smell alone would keep you awake
@@elizabethmckelvie5418 Castor oil doesn’t have a smell.
Juste un petit coucou à toute la famille et bonne semaine!
Relaxing teas, magnesium, less caffeine / sugar / gluten, more exercise, less stress, yoga, mediation 🥵😵💫🥱😥🥵 .......HRT! 😴
Drink early, not late :) Adorable mom and kittens!
💕Pancake is innocent!!
😴Re sleep: no liquids after 6pm, deep breathing exercises, have a 10-15 routine in bed……listening to or reading something.🥰
Bonjour Amanda and Lincoln, everything looks nice around the Chateau, now that Fall has arrived, I was thinking about the hunters and hoping they keep their distance from you. Yup, I see two donkeys, how nice to be recognized for all your hard labor by the WSJ, the kittens are cute, I hope they and mom find good homes. Thanks for rescuing them in the interim. Love from N.Y.
😊
Best wishes to you
Yes one of my favourite RUclipsrs 👏 and love the music you choose! Oh and that bat 🦇 ❤❤❤ and those kittens & mumma 🐈⬛😻 thank you for helping them!!!
Thanks for the video! I hope this week goes better for you. Thanks for helping the kitties, I hope you can find homes for them. I have a black cat, and she is a sweetheart.
I love the way you decorate your chateau It's simple but chic!♥️♥️♥️😘!
Short but sweet: I enjoyed the views of early fall [+ the drone landing!]
I’ve noticed with tubers that sometimes the Chanel picks up momentum or else drops out. Quite ruthless really. But your Chanel seems to have hit its true vision. You just get better and better, the music and arty shots are so beautiful. I’m sorry you’re not sleeping much but it doesn’t show in conveying your wonderful eye. Again , thank you both so much. ❤❤🇦🇺
Thank you so much :)
Love your videos and all the pets. Sweet kittens.
I know you two are so busy with the chateau renovation, right now. But, I am hoping, after you are finished and rested, you can start doing videos on how to do some cooking. Maybe some French cooking - like how to bake those beautiful croissants you showed us and made me hungry for! Maybe you can also do a tutorial on floral arrangements. They always look so beautiful! Just some future ideas.
Love that drone footage of the French countryside.
Well.....Halloween is around the corner if that is any consolation 🦇🦇...& black cats too! I love the drone footage...the green space surrounding your Château is wonderful ❤
Here's hoping things get continuously better in the weeks to come!
Lovely video as always 😊
Beautiful video!! Loved all the drone shots and your pics of the kitties and the pretty pink zinnias!! Hope your next week goes better!! Oh and I love the donkeys pics too!!
Amanda and Lincoln, beautiful tree, Autumn colours in the beginning of your video. Unlucky about the 🦇, and your cat eating your drone. 🤔 OR bird? Your grounds look lovely, so peaceful, and your flowers are beautiful! Love your videos! Thank you for sharing …
Love the music in this one, especially during the French drain and the one immediately after.
Insomnia is the pits!!!! I think your chateau is the perfect size for a small family. Sorry the week was not a stellar one....
Between bats and a cat eating drones what a start! I suspect sabotage on the part of the bird.
Wall Street Journal?!? Does that mean the donkeys are celebrities now? Will they be demanding a bigger house as a result ;->
Love the video. Thanks for doing such a great job. Oh and the croissants look fantastic!
Amanda, I thought Lincoln would walk out of that room with the bat wearing fake vampire 🧛♂️ theeth 😅😂Lmao 🤣
C'est un plaisir de vous suivre ❤
Hope next week is much calmer for you all.
Great video as usual 💙thanks for the laughs and style plus croissants 🥐🥐🥐🥐
We love your videos!! Thank you, thank you for the lovely scenery as we have had rainy and cloudy skies for 8 days now with hurricane Helene. Love the cat drama, Enzo and Guava are happy happy with a splash of bat issues. Hello Donkeys !! Wish you could FedEx me a kitten back to the USA ! Keep it coming!!
😊
Another great video.
I wish you luck finding homes for the cat family.
Time stops when I enter your world symbiotic wonder of my sense. Today, the soundtrack was genius. A balm to weary souls.🌺🌺🌺
Eicks on the bat. No way would I go in that room. However the kitties are adorable.
Great music selection in your vlogs. For sleep, magnesium, as many have already said. The (bis) glycinate form. Magnesium is water soluable - any excess is eliminated. It helps in so many other ways too. No caffeine (including milk or dark chocolate) after noon esp when you have insomnia and try herbal tea - there are really good ones for sleep now...with lemon balm, passionflower, skullcap. 💤
Hope the kittens and their mother find lovely homes
Chamomile tea before might help. I usually fix it right when I'm ready crawl into bed. Drink the tea while in bed so you can just close your eyes and fade to sleep. Hope this helps.
Glad to hear yr both got yr noses above the water & not gone batty😂😂
The kittens are adorable,I hope you find homes for them. I can see how overwhelmed and expensive that many cats can be 🙈❤️
That bat looked humongous! Hopefully this week goes better ❤
A collective noun for bats is "cauldron" or sometimes a "camp." Collective nouns are fun.
so creative and the photography is gorgeous. really love your videos. hope you find homes for those beautiful kitties and their momma.
That was a big bat !! That reminded me of that movie The great outdoors !!!
I’m absolutely loving this music 🎶
It is so beautiful where you live. I love the drone shots and fantsize that i could live there - I couldn’t as I don’t have the skills and work ethic that you two have but still, its nice to dream 😊
Sleepy time tea!! Works for me!😉
The sound a bat makes when there is one in your house is unforgettable. Occasionally one would be in our previous house and we used the long-handled pool skimmer net to frantically try to catch it. They were little like mice with wings. And now I will be dreaming about them......
Love your sense of humour which I imagine is a must have when restoring a chateau, your home is beautiful as are all your animals. Thanks for sharing..
Amazing they are all jet black! Very unusual
The bat segment brought back memories of finding a bat in my house in Boston. I was chuckling as you were talking about it. 😂
The magnesium cream on the bottom of the feet help with sleeping! Love your videos!
My all time fav channel ❤ looking forward to the bedroom makeover. - wouldnt fancy sorting the bat yikes 😮 love love the kitties ❤
Oh those kittens. I do hope you can find them a good home.
Love yas and all your cute kitties including the newest additions 😊
Amanda, cure for insomnia - about 5 pints dry cider - certainly worked for me on Saturday night!! 😃
As usual, your drone footage was Amazing! What do you mean, it all seemed to go wrong? I guess you didn't show us those bits 🤔😃
😂
Well that went by fast!
I enjoy your videos. A bunch of years ago, I woke up in a dark room and saw a fast circling up on the ceiling above my head. In my sleepiness I said to myself “oh I must have turned on the ceiling fan” then I screamed and said to myself, “I don’t have a ceiling fan! It was a bat! I ran out of the room slamming the door with the duvet on my head, waited for the sun to rise and gave my son a call. He wasn’t happy. Hours later, he removed the bat. ❤
Same verbiage has been going on here this week after Hurricane Helene and we are one of the lucky ones.
I feel your pain regarding the bats- we’ve found that peppermint oil (mix a strong solution with water in a garden sprayer) will send them packing and keep them away without harming them. You, however, will feel like you just got dunked in icy hot so be ready for a shower. Doesn’t help you much when they’ve gotten inside but may deter them in the future. Best of luck!
A 10 minute video. 😢 How sad. I hope you have a better week. 😅❤😂❤
I hope the cat and kittens find lovely homes...
The big question, is has the NYTimes article resulted in a bump in followers? (hopefully)
Bats and black cats: you’re all ready for Halloween! 😂 As for the cluster fluke and insomnia, I hope they sort themselves out. A three letter word that starts with s and ends with x might help? 🤷♀️ What an interesting chateau you visited: looks like the grand-daddy of yours. I wouldn’t want to heat or clean Grandpa Chateau, though. If an article was written about how much work goes into owning a chateau like yours, it’s probably a good thing to keep lazy people from trying to be your neighbors. They can just join your channel and watch (and admire) from afar, like the rest of us. 🙏❤️
Love Your Channel. Adore you and Lincoln. LOVE ❤️ Seeing your progress.
Low iron can cause insomnia, get that checked ✔️.. Also a good Magnesium powder, not Tablets, can aid better sleep patterns.
Just checking in to see what you are doing to my chateau.
😂😂😂😂, good one!
What’s up with the bedroom makeover? I couldn’t tell if it was green. Looking forward to seeing the big reveal. Good luck with the sleeping thing. If you find out how to get a solid seven hours you can tell us all!
Magnesium is the sleep switch, but your body cannot absorb magnesium from your diet if you do not have enough vitamin D in your system. It has been a year of short supply in sunlight!
Kudos to you two - for all your hard work and sharing your chateau projects with us! I look forward to your videos and all that you share! Love how you have shaped everything to make yours a beautiful home!!!
The dresses from your neighboring chateau looked straight out of Gone With the Wind.
Another great video. Insomnia is an ongoing battle for me. Three years in, no figuring out how to stop it. Hopefully you can find something that will help you. Those croissants look delicious.
Ok. Funny question from an American. Is a French Drain in France just called a Drain?? LOL
Nope! Named after an American named Henry French. How is that for random!
I totally laughed out loud with your comment!
Haha 😄 😅
😂
I can't even imagine how freaked 😳 out I would be with a bat in the house. I watch another chateau channel that made some removable homemade screens for their most used windows for the same problem, and they love them. No more birds or bats flying in! Clever!
