Happy Birthday Lisa. Sending lots of hugs. Hope you get totally spoilt and have the best day! What a great creative fun video. Next level Rob. So enjoyed the 'extra' input from subscribers... great editing. You certainly have a way of engaging people. Classic look from Robbie at the table when you unpacked the weights. I'm sure he was saying to himself in French... 'What's he up to now?' Tell me you won't change 'chop and chat' to workout sessions. Still smiling Rob. Thanks heaps.
@@glynislouis5778 Thank you Glynis, that’s so lovely of you to say. I’ll pass it onto Lisa. Glad you appreciate the editing. I enjoy it but it’s a lot of effort for sure. I’ll be keeping the chop and chat as it is so don’t worry Robbie does look at me bewildered at times lol 👍🇫🇷
Thanks for the tip about the store in St Junien. I must be quite near you , we are in Haute Vienne...but not there all the time as life took some serious turns a while ago. I can't keep up with the accent, but I am trying! Love your vlog.
Rob, there are some apps on your telephone that you can use to remind you of your appointments. You can also write your appointment on the blackboard in your kitchen. That was a cheeky split you did there. Missed the "comedy capers" tune when you were struggling to get the box through the door. And a happy birthday for Lisa.
@@JoepMeijer Lol Joep, ironically I do use the blackboard for appointments but after a day they are ignored. Hopefully I’ve sorted it now I’ll pass the message onto Lisa thanks 👍🇫🇷
Well done for picking that box up Rob 😂 i thought u had bit off a bit much at first 😂. Are u going to start a curl n chat section now.... Love the chop and chat bit really great. Keep up the great channel mate its the highlight of our day when we sit down to watch. 👍
lol, it’s only 41kg so not heavy but too big for us both to fit through the door lol. Seems as though the chop and chat is a hit. Do like the curl and chat idea lol It’s an honour to be the highlight of your day when you watch us 👍🇫🇷
I split logs in barefoot, slippers, trainers,boots sometimes in high heels ,depends on what I'm doing next😂Happy birthday Lisa🎉, for tomorrow my nephew shares the same day😊
Happy birthday Lisa. Can I ask why you chop all your logs so small? I only used to chop a ' starter' kit up, once the fire was going, I would put logs the size you start with on, as they burn slower. Perhaps I was just tight with my wood!
Thank you so much. I will pass it on. Simple answer is......Ive more words to say than logs available, so i just keep chopping. It's nothing tactical lol
ohh Rob , your English is like the south accent in France, i have difficulties to understand you but i am French so , if an American can't understand you , that give me hope !!! you speak like a "mitraillette" , and i love making effort , parle un peu Français de temps en temps qu on rigole , merci and joyeux anniversaire a Lisa .
lol… I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…. Your personality is where it’s at!!! I’m coming to France for two weeks in October- let’s you, me and Lisa have a point!!! Happy Birthday Lisa!!!🎉🎉🎉
That is hilarious anyone in America would talk about your accent when we have hundreds of different dialects in America with different slang lol I'm married to an Irishman so I have a pretty good ear for any UK language. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Hubby is a retired Marine, but I was Navy. Or as Arthur likes to call me, "a squid." I guess you could say that squids wear peeky-toe shoes just like those who operate mechanical log-splitters.😂 Happy-Happy Birthday to Lisa!🎂🎈🎉

Hi Rob , Lisa & family . First & foremost I send best Birthday wishes to Lisa , I hope you have a wonderful day . Again a great video . May I suggest that you ask the hairdresser to phone you on the day before the appointment just so you don't forget , I am sure she will not mind . As to upsetting the French don't worry about it , I do it every day , cause I am the local 'Bobby' in my village . It's great fun . Evening all .
@@Escapetofrance-Charente I am the local ASVP. In other words I look after the security of the village including traffic duties , illegal parking , & keeping an eye on all municipal buildings & equipment .
What you mean you won’t wear the standard issue white stilettos with Ron Hills as well 😂. Got to say love my 7 tonne splitter makes it so much easier. Gemma says do you wear trainers for Wood chopping but looks like your wearing the stilettos for moving the boxes 😜. Happy Birthday to Lisa have a great day. 🎉
LOL. I helped him off load. He nearly fainted when i just picked one up off the back and then he asked me for help with the second. Shame I didn't have the camera lol
You’re a good lad, you’d of had to pay at my hairdressers. 🤣🤣Don’t dye your hair it’s distinguished when grey😊😊. Your chopping is improving..I hope you all enjoy Lisa’s birthday.🥰🌈🥰
Appointment missed means a costumer lost for hairdresser : it is your fault and like say frenchs " for make you forgive,next time bring a wine bottle" ! ( I am joking : that happened but it is not the end of the world )
The U.S. Armed Forces are the same, we have to harass the other groups, and yes the Army is the best. Well done on getting back into working out. I started about 3 months ago and feel much better for it. Happy Birthday Lisa! Laterzz!!

Un très bon anniversaire à Lisa. 🎉Je lui souhaite beaucoup de joie avec ses chevaux adorés. Pouvez vous les monter ? Ce serait chouette de faire des balades dans la campagne.🐎 Sinon une très belle année 2025 à toute la famille. Savez vous qu’ici on peut souhaiter « bonne année « jusqu’au dernier jour de janvier ? Les voeux sont en perte de vitesse parmi les jeunes mais c’est une bonne occasion d’avoir des nouvelles de personnes un peu éloignées.
Bonjour Martine. Merci pour vos vœux d'anniversaire pour Lisa. Elle a passé une excellente journée hier, merci. Non, nous ne montons pas les chevaux car ils sont à la retraite. Fait intéressant à propos des souhaits de bonne année, alors merci
