    Just a word of appreciation for your beautiful videos. I specifically enjoy the choice of simple shots, the beautiful scenery and amazing drone shots, all tastefully presented with wonderful music. They all have a slight Wes Anderson vibe, which I really enjoy as well as your style of tongue-in-cheek humor.
    I always look forward to your videos and on those rare occasions when you were not able to produce or upload a weekly video, I must admit that I missed it and even slightly worried if perhaps something happened to you.
    It must be a heck of a job to run a family, do all the regular maintenance of the house and the gardens and all the improvements your are carrying out, plus looking after the various animals while at the same time recording yourself, carrying all that camera gear around, setting up a perfect shot of you driving your car or walking down a lane and then having to go all the way back to pick up the camera and the tripod. In short, all the video-shooting related work which is not shown in your videos but which can be inferred from them and which are absolutely necessary for you to produce the high-quality videos you present us every (or almost every) week. You are doing a fantastic job.
    Please keep making them.

    I don’t know about you, Amanda and Lincoln when in doubt something Can go wrong don’t worry it will. If I don’t laugh about it, I’ll start crying. Poor Lincoln can’t use Amanda’s desk gets sent to the basement and even when he does get to go into the grand Salon with his new desk, he still has to share it with the Château cats.😸 Lincoln just doesn’t get no respect. Looks like the cats who permanently moved into the grand salon in the château. Thank you for showing us the beautiful scenery on the drone, of the shoreline and also for introducing all your gorgeous château kitties. can’t wait until you redo the grand salon. It will look marvelous no matter what changes you make or don’t make.
    Thank you for all your hard work that you put into these videos and drone footage and the rising of the sun is beautiful.❤

    The "Minus" was missing from your gravel. You should have ordered Crushed Rock. I have maintained our quarter mile gravel driveway 35 years now. Whenever I order gravel I ask for "five eigths crushed rock". This gravel contains everything from 5/8" down to sand. My daughter experienced your same issue when the gravel yard sent out 5/8" gravel not crushed rock material with no minus. This material will never pack down and create a solid surface that is needed on a road. Its like walking on a beach with deep unpacked sand... How do they expect you to evenly mix the material with the already wrong material? You may have to get a big vibratory ride on drum roller and pack it into the soil below since the little plate type compactor will be unlikley to ever do the job well enough.
    Best,
    Brian

    Great u gave yourselves a day for RR, well deserved after your constant projects at your chateau. St Malo looks like a lovely place.
    Our son & wife's first visit to France was St Malo & loved it. (during their OE in UK )
    Years later when they had their first child they named him Malo. He's now 8 & learning French language at school in Nz
    Prehaps one day he'll get to visit too.
    Take care.

    I can understand your frustration. When I had a place in Tuscany, we had a fixer. He was a local gentleman who ran a construction materials business. We always had him be our middleman for whatever we had done. He was great. I’m not sure you can find someone like that where you are but local knowledge and local connections areuseful

    Instead of the grand salon, I'm thinking it should be renamed the room of requirement. It's the room that becomes whatever you require it to be. It also can be used for secret wizard training, hiding disheveled potion books or discovering a lost diadem...

I love how you both are looking at the gravel path for the donkeys, and they just tag along. Hope that all works out for you guys!

    Bonjour Amanda and Lincoln, first of all screw the gravel people, hopefully the gravel won't get stuck in the donkey's hooves and cause them problems. The grand salon is beautiful. The sketch of the Chateau was nice to see, so they eliminated the 3rd floor/attic am I understanding that correctly, I wonder if it was due to the window tax, they had. St Malo looked so beautiful, the drone shots stunning there and the chateau as well. Good luck with the donkey path, and it's always a good day when they are around. The kitties are getting big, I hope you can find them a home. Love from N.Y.
