- The digger has arrived to dig out the side of the old fournil ( bakehouse) and pull up the bramble roots and tree stumps. I've got a lot of raking to do, going through the soil to pull out all of the stones and rubble before re-seeding.
There is a lot of work to do and the weather is not playing ball at all. There is a lot to do for my vision to come to life. Some interesting finds in the soil gets my amature archeologist self rather excited over bits of broken glass : ))
Hidden away in France is a channel showing my life in the countryside of France. As a dressmaker of whimsical fairytale dresses to living a simple life whilst trying to renovate my old farm. My love of the outdoors and nature, ancient buildings and architecture to period costumes and all things related.
Thanks for watching,

That bake house is so charming!
❤looks a lovely place
Thank you 🥰
All those stones would make a nice retaining wall behind the bake house.
That's exactly what I was thinking. 😊
You are definitely an inspiration for woman on their own who would love to do what you are doing but are scared to just do it. Lovely to see the grounds coming together. I would love to see what you have done inside your home.
Thank you, my motto is have a go, life is short. I will show my house soon but that too is an ongoing project! ; )
Hello ! The thing you are holding (20:35) is a -very rusty- cow shoe. Cows used to be shod so they could walk the stony paths to and from pastures twice a day in olden times. You can still see many contraptions in villages, which were employed to shoe cows. They are called "travails". HIH
Thanks so much for this, I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it. It was oxen that was used here to tend to the land and not horses, so it would make sense that shoes would drop off while they were working.
Very beautiful place you've chosen to live. You are doing a wonderful job of "taming" it. My first time here and you've gained a new subscriber. Bon Soir!
Thanks for joining me and bonne soirée to you.
Your hard work is paying off in the garden, and once it greens over you will definitely thank yourself for doing what you’re doing.
Your videos are nicely filmed. I’m not being critical but your audio levels are a bit all over the place…..just a small thing but it does effect watching, hope you don’t mind me saying
Thank you and thanks for your feedback about the audio,I'll check it out.
Bonjour ! What part of France are you living in ? Very pretty spot ❤
@@MarianneInmarsiliaBonjour, I'm in south Haute-Vienne. 🥰
You might as well cut those Iris stalks with the buds. Now that you've uprooted them they're not likely to fully bloom. I'd ake them inside and enjoy as cut flowers. It's also recommended to cut all but about 3-4 inches of leaf off when you transplant. The roots can't support that much leaf after disrupting the root system. Recommended time for transplanting Iris I'd after they bloom.
That saved a lot of back-breaking work and quite a transformation already. What will the old bakehouse be used for? 👍
Yes it did and so quick too. I need a place to store fabrics as my sewing room is over full! So it is crucial the building is as dry as possible.
@@hiddenawayinfrance Amazing. Good luck with your projects 👍
Dommage que je ne puisse pas avoir de traduction en Français 😊 bon courage pour les travaux
Bonjour, Je vais essayer de faire des versions françaises de mes vidéos. Merci pour vos commentaires.
@@hiddenawayinfrance c’est vraiment très attentionné, je vous remercie !!
I believe if you supply captions, there are translation programs like Google Translate which would allow speakers of other languages to see what you're saying. Ask Google.
