    Thank you all so much for the past year of smiles and giggles! Wish you, your children and your herd of adorable critters the Merriest of Brittany Christmases!
    PS. Love the hexagon tiles. Timeless 🎉 But the smaller hexagons. Looks way older than the larger.

    What about a wild flower meadow where your ground has been cleared? They look amazing and help bees 😊.

    A wild meadow area and a natural swimming pool would be so stunning. You could also grow, roses, fox gloves, bluebells and a trumpet vine up the wall. It will be so beautiful

    Love your channel, your humor is so refreshing and welcomed with all that’s going on in the world these days. Can’t wait to see the cottage transformed. Such hard work you both have put into the chateau and now the cottages. You are just the kind of caretakers that these old chateaus need to carry on for the next generation . ❤ Merry Christmas and may you both have a Blessed year ahead.

    Thanks for all the wonderful videos this year! Between the donkeys, the scenery, both of your sense of humor and everything else, you guys have been a real bright spot. Living in the US over the past, well, let's call it ~8 years, 🤔, there's little to feel good about. So, seeing how pleasant things can be on the other side of the Atlantic is a needed distraction from the insanity.

    I loved the aerial shots of your property, and the May and December shots of the area that was cleared. I also loved the camera work at the beginning where you « fly » into the cottage. Well done! Thank you for taking us along on your journey. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and hordes of new subscribers! Btw, I just received the first of my totes. It’s beautiful and will be well used. Cheers 🇨🇦

    "Joyeux noel" Amanda and Lincoln. It's a never-ending job, that Chateau, but so worth it. The cottage is going to be so amazing when you are done. I love that the farmers are willing to clear the area for you and take the wood. I would say Pickles, was in a pickle on top of the wardrobe. I have enjoyed all your videos this year and looking forward to the new year with you. As we say in my house, "Boun Natale e un Felice Anno Nuovo". Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Love from N.Y.

    Wonderful channel, I've been watching a few episodes each day to catch up. Love your humour Amanda, it must be your Italian blood ha! Many people have no idea how much effort it takes to film the way you do. You make it look effortless. Well done Lincoln... what a hard working hubby you are, bet you both never dreamed you would be popular RUclipsrs a few years back! ❤

  • @chandeliers1022
    @chandeliers1022 10 месяцев назад

    🍎 Amanda and Lincoln,
    Beautiful, fabulous sunny day in our part of the world! About moving heavy pieces of furniture, lay a thick blanket or two blankets and overlap it on the ground and lay the piece of furniture on it's side or back. You want to leave about two feet in front free, as one will be pulling the blanket with the piece of furniture on it's side or back while the other one pushes it. It's a lot less strain on one's back and muscles. Whenever you pull or move a piece of furniture, concentrate that the weight should go in your arms and not the back. It also works great to use a blanket when you have to get a piece of furniture upstairs. You can also open big pieces of cardboard, and lay the furniture on its side, leaving two or three pieces in front so you can pull the furniture on the cardboard and the other one pushes from behind. My husband was a furniture mover, but now he is a cross country trucker in America. So he knows all about moving furniture. Even grand pianos, this is how they get the heavy furniture in people's homes with less weight on the back using big blankets.
    Bye for now.
    Happy No Stress 2024! 🎇 🎆

    Clear and plant grass, mow! A larger hex tile would be nice, less grout is less to clean. Love marble it is so posh. Worth the money for something that’s permanent. Don’t leave Lincoln, he tries to do things when you aren’t around so as to not inconvenience you, but he needs your help. Keep him safe.

    I love the little octagon tiles the most. I love the classic simplicity. Your property is enchanting. It must have been an inspiration to a beautiful nursery rhyme or love poem. I think you couldn’t have bought a more beautiful property. I love how you both work together and have a similar sense of the way things should be. Wishing you, (Amanda), Lincoln the girls and your sweet animals a very Merry Christmas. ❤️

    Hi! Take a look at 1" ceramic penny tiles which were used in early 1900's. They were about the same time frame as the small hex shaped tiles you liked. It's a visual preference between square or round. Merry Christmas and stay warm ;). I love watching you and enjoy your animals.

    Love watching yr vlogs. Great sense of humour and keeping it real. Must say my eye was drawn to the top tile panel on the wall behind the ceramic octagonal black and white tile Lincoln was holding at 5.36 mins in. It was a warm limestone staggered pattern of offset tiles that looks like it cld hv been laid last century and wouldn’t be slippery when wet. Only if yr looking for other ideas.
