Watching from Canada - you truly have no idea how nice it is for us to watch something enjoyable to distract us from the turmoil. Your kittens are best homed with you - caring for something and then giving it up is hard. You've made such a generous and impactful difference on your land and in your neighbourhood.
YOU may think it looks depressing, but I think it all looks lovely! 😍 So much is still green, and the skies look majestic. And, of course, the sweet kitties.
Yes, I enjoy all of your videos! Shadow is beautiful! Wonderful that you saved him and continue to care for him. I do hope you win him over in the sunny days ahead. So the kittens are at home with you. They sure are lucky. As always I love seeing the dogs and the donkeys. You guys always make this old lady almost eighty smile. Thanks for being a bright spot in my day! Hugs!!
Kudos to you with all you have to do and raising kittens. I did so with a feral cat and her kittens, wow,what job. How lucky they are being in a beautiful room in your chateau.
Hopefully the drone still works. I feel for the kitties, but it needed to be done. You are a great cat mom! Lincoln was très drôle (very funny!) in his French role. Love that black striped shirt and beret, so traditionally French.. Looking forward to the assembling of the greenhouse. Lynn in AZ
The greenhouse is going to be gorgeous!!! You picked beauty! Can't wait to see it finished! So the car count is now 13? You both have the biggest hearts. ❤😻
I always enjoy your videos. I beg you and everyone one watching "NEVER EVER CARRY A SHEET OF GALSS UNDER YOUR ARM!!!SHOULD YOU FALL,SLIP ETC YOU "WILL CUT A MAYOR ARTARIE No one has ever made it to a hospital in time to survive the accident. My best to all,and be safe. Once again, "Love your videos.
Shadow is a great looking cat who day dreams about catching birds. Love the “commercial” with the strange Frenchman. 😂 Great video in spite of the drone mishap. ❤
I suspect your greenhouse comes with a base (like mine) that has anchor points (one each corner, and one on each in the middle of the longer sides) that you are supposed to concrete down to below the frost line. For me that was 1.5 meters down, I used an earth auger as far as it went and dug the rest.
I spent the afternoon painting a watercolor for my new niece who was born in Jan., her birth flower is snowdrops! Quite the coincidence that i see snowdrops in your post tonight- lovely!
I don't think they have a very deep frost line in Brittany. There are cold spells, but it doesn't last long enough to go down far. [Note the green grass...]
They say you can get your cat to view a ride in a car as "non-threatening. That works right up until the time they take their first ride to the vet. After that EVERY ride in the car IS a threatening ride.
Your Lincoln reminds me so much of MY husband Lincoln! I beat myself up about some idiot thing I've done ( and we work together at our business -we're together a LOT) and he says just what YOUR Lincoln said " it happens- don't worry about it!" Maybe it's something in the name! 😊Anyway - we're both very lucky!!❤️
What a beautiful video you two produced today. You have the best video available for living in France. The cats are such a joy to see and hear about. I love those donkeys. The guest bedroom will be nice for your mother and friends. Your tall trees and meadow are gorgeous. I look forward to seeing your greenhouse.💙🐈⬛💙🐈⬛💙🐈💙🪻🇺🇸💙
I’m so excited to see your greenhouse go up, it’s going to be beautiful! I really love town you added in a lot of footage of the animals, especially the donkeys . I’d love the little black cats. They’re so beautiful. It looks like you just have a farm with a lot of cats. You definitely are a cat lady. ❤
Your green grass is so refreshing! I'm in northern Maine where we have 5 months of snow cover. Winter is half over today, Feb 2. That green is so beautiful to me right now.
Try wedging a screwdriver between the sill and the bottom rail of the window until the wind passes. We just survived the winds in Pasadena and luckily still have a house.
Do you remember when trees used to capture kites? Obviously that tree was starved for attention or really, really hungry. Best to all of you from a not so sunny California.
Where is lived in upstate NY (capital area). Where my guy plowed the driveway, by the time spring came, the edges of the driveway always needed to be cleaned up and raked out to get rid of the rutts so I could mow come sprong/summer time ❤
I feel for you last week we had a storm 90 miles an hour winds and scary as anything, I lost a bit of the roof and my honeysuckle was pulled down. Stay safe
I too hope Shadow lets you get closer to him. Such a handsome boy 😻😻😻😻😻Just curious as to what was the appropriate amount of swearing when you crashed the drone? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Hope Lincoln can fix it as I enjoy your drone shots. Looking forward to the next vlog 😍😘
Hello again Amanda & Lincoln ( Sue UK subscriber)… It would have been great to saw you start the greenhouse project… If the weather had not ‘decided ‘ to scupper your plans 🤬🤬… and thankfully Lincoln and Friend were able to move ALL of the glass to safety in a sheltered spot… Herculean effort there!!! 👏👏… Much the same awful weather over the ‘channel’… with Ireland and the northern parts of the UK having the worst time… with flooding and damage all over ( however I must say that the Californian devestating fires have really shocked and horrified me..I cannot imagine how all of those people/ families and emergency services have coped and faced the huge heroic … response and the total loss of everything !!🙏🙏🙏…) Very scary for you both at the chateau … having to stand against the window shutters.. to sto the gales breaking in!!😱😱… Some trees down but the donkeys very sensibly safe in their shelter 👍👍….Too bad about the kittens not yet finding homes.. but , not all countries are ‘bothered about their domestic/ or feral cats .. as you are!!!… 🙏👏… Hope that you will get closer to Shadow , as time goes on .. a very handsome boy !!!… abmnd well fed for these winter months too.. The guest room project is your next up grade , Amanda… looking forward to seeing that even though you say it’s pretty straight forward ?… after you had to ‘rescue ‘ the lawn after delivery truck vandalism !!!…1 am looking forward to the orearation for the greenhouse in your lovely walled garden.. that corner where you have stored the glass looked like a decent spot??.. no danger from storm damage ..but only my opinion!!.., it will be marvellous to be able to sow seeds for planting into your garden beds with far more variety and success this year 😃😩… as usual, enjoying watching you two, at the château, and sharing the ups and downs.. and the dry and whimsical humour that goes with every obstacle, and achievement..absolutely ‘priceless’… Here’s to a peaceful and productive year ahead.. and more good sponsorship for the channel.. and lots more subscribers … Cheers!🥂🍾..
Hope the drone survived! Re the greenhouse, with the weight of the glass, I dare say it will need to be spread across a fairly wide level base. The thing that concerns me a little is that a perimeter base might warp a little thus throwing out your level and causing issues with cracks in your glass. But I haven’t done the research you have so go with whatever you’ve found on proper glass greenhouses or whatever the instructions suggest. Just thought I’d throw this out there as a consideration. J
I would have used a rock or something heavy against the window until you fix it. Not depressing….dirty snow and icy walkways are depressing. Green grass, lovely donkeys and sweet cats make life a bit of fun 😊
WE LOST OUR LARGE GREENHOUSE GLASS AND ALL PICKED UP TWISTED AND DROPPED EVERYTHING LOST WIND REACHING 80 90 MILES AN HOUR IN THE UK . BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PLACE IT .ORS WAS NEXT TO A WALL WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SAFE. GOOD LUCK WITH YOURS. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
I learned the hard way that I will NEVER buy anything larger than a full size bed. A neighbor bought a king size and they had to bend it in half to get it to the second floor. Kind of ruined the mattress. I had a queen sized. Flipping the mattress yearly was a night mare. Full size, I could flip easily by myself.
About the kittens (if you reconsider keeping them): There's another US ex-pat chateau youtuber that recently lost her dog - Abby of The Chateau Chronicles. No idea how close or far you are from each other. But maybe you could suggest that kittens make good chateau pets. www.youtube.com/@chateauchronicles
Shadow is gorgeous! But his tail??? Could he have been hurt?? I hope not. My 3d Woods Kitty showed up during our freezing Coastal Ice Storm. His belly stayed full, so perhaps??? Time will tell. I hope you can make friends with Shadow. Hoping your greenhouse comes together. AND congratulations, your subscribers are going up. They are finding out what us long timers have known! You are great 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm surprised that you didn't get a glasshouse with perspex instead of glass panels which break so easily especially as you seem to have so many storms.
I must tell you this. Utube added another video on your line of videos. It was called “How to Decorate a Chateau.” One ago it was posted. It wasn’t there Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025 and today is Feb. 3, 2025. I deleted it. I thought it was rather rude of UTube. It was some blonde chick by a tall window. The room was in blue. I open it up but immediately and realized it wasn’t your chateau. I thought you could contact UTube. I have seen this happen in the last two weeks on several of the subscriptions I watch everyday.

The best distraction. Thank you🇨🇦
You DID find a home for the kittens LOL .... bless your kind-hearted souls :)
YOU may think it looks depressing, but I think it all looks lovely! 😍 So much is still green, and the skies look majestic. And, of course, the sweet kitties.
Your videos are always my most anticipated ones here.

HA HA HA HA! I can always count on you to put something funny (and sarcastic) in your videos. Loved Frenchy talking to the elk head!!! 💘
🥰 It will be fun watching you guys start on the greenhouse!
Congratulations on your membership 😊 You say that this time of year its dreary and in the next frame you show us beautiful snowdrops ❤
I've said it before and I'll say it again this château RUclips channel is superior to all others❤
Missed you so great your back, from Australia 🦘🇦🇺🐝

Footers below the frost line. Speaking from a cold climate. It will have to be 3 to 4 feet deep.Very excited to see your project. Heather
I don't think they have a very deep frost line in Brittany. There are cold spells, but it doesn't last long enough to go down far. [Note the green grass...]
The "drone crasher club" gave me a giggle. ☺️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, Shadow, such a squeezable little chonk!😍
Never a dull moment, hour, or day! So glad you had time to have some fun (my husband would NEVER play along with the antics!!) loves from Florida!!!
They say you can get your cat to view a ride in a car as "non-threatening. That works right up until the time they take their first ride to the vet. After that EVERY ride in the car IS a threatening ride.
That table is a nice shape, can't you paint it🤔😁

Really looking forward to seeing the greenhouse when it is finished. Love seeing the cats,donkeys and dogs. The guest room will. E lovely. ❤️

This baguette represents my undying love for you? Poor Amanda! Rejected for a ceramic gazelle head.
You guys were right in the thick of it . Thank goodness you’re 👍👍OK 😘😘
Looking forward to the greenhouse construction. It will be fantastic when it’s done.
Your such a kind soul… So is your official chatelaine title the French version “Les Crazy Chat Femme”? 😂 As Americans say Bless your Heart!
Happy you didn’t have flooding like they had in Rennes😊
Try wedging a screwdriver between the sill and the bottom rail of the window until the wind passes. We just survived the winds in Pasadena and luckily still have a house.
So happy your back love love your videos very entertaining can’t wait to see the guest room from canada
Shadow, will soon be living indoors..........💜💙❤
Beautiful kitty.
We have 2 of those black tables which we got at Target many years ago! So funny to see it at your chateau. Ours appear to be possibly smaller.
Do you remember when trees used to capture kites? Obviously that tree was starved for attention or really, really hungry. Best to all of you from a not so sunny California.
“Trashy American TV”… so true! 😂 Loved the video and appreciate all the work that you put into making it! Have a blessed week.❤😊

Check your frost line for the footings your area
Get some cheap shims for your window issue in the meantime. I would be sick with worry over the donkeys! ❤

Get that man a glass of wine or a beer for work above and beyond!
Did you forget the magic obscenity that makes the drone land? I thought everyone in the FCRR club knew it ;-) Wait...doesn't Lincoln know it? ;-)
I wondered how you all did!
I would have used a rock or something heavy against the window until you fix it. Not depressing….dirty snow and icy walkways are depressing. Green grass, lovely donkeys and sweet cats make life a bit of fun 😊
