Leanne, so happy to have you back. Please be aware that we don't need long videos, some of the really successful chanels just put out 8 or 10 minute updates, in some cases much better for time poor followers.
Thank you so much Jane. What you’ll probably see is a 10 minute update each week on the renovating channel and then 2 vlogs a week on the farm one for the next few weeks while we catch up ❤️
Hi Leanne, this channel transitioned perfectly from the old name. I’m so excited for your family and the new adventures you will be taking. I’m now subscribed to both channels and look forward to watching your story unfold.
Thank you Teresa, yes it was long overdue for some changes and hopefully an improvement for all with this channel! Thank you for being with us on our second channel too! ❤️
Another consideration regarding RUclips algorithm is *consistency.* The algorithm likes it when a channel uploads on a consistent basis. I’ll be heading over to subscribe to your new channel now. Hope you, Julian and the girls are doing well and staying safe! Cheers, Doc❤
Absolutely we agree with the consistency - but this back and forth with the different subjects happened a long time ago when we had been posting consistently every week without fail for almost 18 months. It’s actually not really the algorithm per se, but how the algorithm reacts to how people react to what you post on your channel! People came for renovating and then we showed gardening / farm stuff one week and people didn’t watch - RUclips then stops showing the channel to people. It’s completely understandable and a move we should of made over a year ago. But there was no point until we were able to post consistently - that is the key! ❤️👍
Congratulations Leanne, you are on your way. I love following your family’s journey. Thank you for sharing it with all of us. Your fan in Connecticut, USA!
What a great journey to be on. Can't wait to see the completed bedroom suite. Already subscribed to your new channel. Always love the gardening and outdoors. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Claudia, that’s good to hear that there are a few people who did like both types of content. Hopefully this change works for most people now x
Good grief, I've hunted "that chateau channel with the magnificent waterfall" for two-plus years. I was watching regularly when you went poof, and never returned. I searched and searched to no avail. If RUclips hid you from me, they hid you from thousands of others. Their algorithm is junk when I watch other French chateau channels over the last three years and I never saw a peep of yours. I'm happy to find you again, but a bit angry too. Frankly, I was more into the watching you build the gardens than renovating. I'd just as soon see a before and after than the bowels of decay in a 300+ year old French country house. I guess it was the split off of the new farm channel that put you back in my suggested views feed. When I saw your faces pop up I almost fainted. I assumed you'd dropped posting on youtube after hearing from others how much time it adds to completing the tasks.
Wow what a comment to come to after being in the 28 degree heat (already this morning) weeding some garden beds. Thank you so much for posting this. I guess as this comment is linked to the vlog we did called ‘exciting 2 channel announcements’ that you know why we have split our story off in to the two channels now (Renovating the chateau, and The Chateau Farm). In the past three years, no matter what we posted vlog wise, the channel didn’t seem to grow. We know some our vlogs haven’t been the best quality as we learned what we were doing, but it was frustrating. Then about 18 months ago it finally clicked I think what was happening. RUclips literally just stopped showing our channel to any new viewers so the people that only saw our vlogs were people who were subbed, and then even worse if they didn’t watch our previous vlog, it stopped suggesting us to them too. And we can only think it was because RUclips just didn’t know what kind of channel we were. Anyhow, of course you know now. We have had two occasions where we stopped vlogging for two or three months too (Julian broke his arm, and something else I forget, so that’s not helped). So all in all, not RUclips’s fault, mostly likely all ours. However, we are here and we hope that you like our farm journey too. Thanks so much for this comment, it’s proved that we likely have made the right choice with splitting the stories. Have a great week! Leanne & Julian 👍❤️
Hello Patrick, thank you indeed. It’s a move we should of done two years ago, but as you know, life and renovations gets in the way and sometimes you just don’t see sense - well not you guys, but that happens to me sometimes 😂❤️
@@renovatingthechateau as we now know, renovating a chateau, trying to deal with everything in French, being overwhelmed and thinking about finances....... We understand you 100%. Just glad you seem happy and have sorted out, what you want to do. Much love from us
The land makes it so worth, but bloody a lot of work 😂 we hope to get our first flat ready for stays in the spring. Good luck with the renovations 😊 and the new channel 🎉
Thanks for the update your channel has always been one I watch and always enjoy …. Good luck with the new adventure can’t wait to see all and both channels!!!
Excited for what's coming, I was happy with one channel and watched all your vlogs. Good on you for trying new things to see what works best, I'll be here watching. I am a chateau fan but your garden is so lovely, I was very interested in it from the beginning and was waiting for more. I subscribed to the garden channel yesterday and am interested in what the winter season brings.
@@renovatingthechateau I am sure I will enjoy both channels, I was brought up in a farming community so the farm side of things brings back great memories and gives me tips to help with my own garden, I used th no dig method for the first time because of you and it has been a game changer.
Hi Tina, the url domain is too new to work I think, so I’ve just updated it to the long one - it is here and I’m the description updated too now! 👍 youtube.com/@thechateaufarm?si=ypHDGYmOVf3jyGRG
Can't do it guys. Too long in the tooth. People don't have time for blah blah blah. Take a look at other channels. That's the secret. Dan the gardeners channel, best channel. NO MUCKING AROUND!!
I am so happy there will be more chateau renovations and I will definitely be watching both. I'm looking forward to all of this! 🎉👨🌾👩🌾🔨🪚🇨🇦
Hello Jill, yes our two very different hats 🎩 & 👩🌾😂😂❤️thank you x

Will always support this channel and a brand new exciting one!!!!
Thanks Dona that’s very kind of you ❤️
Such a lovely family. Good luck
Thank you Ann, you’re a lovely supporter of us as always x
I’m glad you keep these 2 areas separate. Every one can watch what they like.
Hello Ruth, that’s hopefully what we hope will happen, that way we are not forcing one subject over another on to anyone x
I watched whatever you were up to. Looking forward to whatever you are doing!
Thank you, we are surprised that many did, hopefully this change is ok for everyone now x
Bravo 🎉🇨🇦
Cheers Helen x

Looking forward to your new journey and sharing your beautiful home and land. 🤗🤗
Thank you Kathy, it’s time to start thriving hopefully in this beautiful space x
