We care about you. Imagine yourselves on the other side of the Visa challenge and related concerns. Imagine that your visa apps have been accepted and how you feel, how your world looks being over that hump and with the freedom to expand in all of the ways that you love to. That time that jump that feeling of elation is already in motion. Your place is steadily becoming your beautiful grounded and inspiring sanctuary. You are loved
Hope the visa issue can be swiftly resolved. I guess it becomes more complicated when neither of you is currently salaried, as bureaucrats like a nice easy box to tick!
Vous devez vous battre pour continuer à vivre dans cette campagne normande dont vous êtes en train de faire un paradis pour vous et les chats. Nous sommes à vos côtés pour vous soutenir. Bon courage à vous deux.
Some lovely words you said about MrB there Miss Budz, possibly the finest compliment any human could ever hope to be rewarded with... Stay safe folks and stay strong the visa will come... its a French thing Every day you return that old derelict house into a welcoming home, all things like replacing the windows and broken doors make it look loved, and then you help the land by rescuing the lovely old cherry tree from its choking parasite great work you two and long may you continue to make things better for the house just as importantly the land it sits upon!
That double rainbow, planting the evergreen oaks. You made that Cherry tree, oh so happy. You two are the best and have special hearts! You will find a way Daren and Pam. Positive vibes and lots of love your way. Bryan & Nora
So grateful to see you back! I cannot speak to other countries, but when expatriating here to Mexico, a savvy local Facillator (who may or may not be an attorney but has a good reputation) was a huge help! It was well worth their fees, so crucial to have an advocate, and they know their way thru all the hurdles! Keep believing and seek local help!
I really do hope and pray that you manage to sort out your permits guys. You have both worked so hard to create the beginnings of a beautiful home and life in France. Lovely to see you both again in a really beautiful post. Thanks for sharing. Love n' hugs xxx
I am very saddened that you have to leave France. Im aware that they have strict rules about who can stay but the application process is tedious and i think the government requires a certain minimum income and medical insurance as part of the approval process. Do either of you have grandparents who were born in France or other EU countries? Are you planning on selling your property? I know that you have returned to Havre de Grace in Maryland. But I pray you don’t abandon your hopes and take a course of action that allows you to achieve your dreams. Please keep us posted. All my best…Joe and Gigi retired in Cape May.
Sadly neither of us have European lineage! our biggest mistake was not hiring a professional to help us with our visas from the get go. We are selling the property! Keeping it is just logistically impossible for us. We rebuild here in Maryland....Slowly but surely! Cheers Joe and Gigi❤️
@@mrbloke please don’t be so hard on yourselves. You two seem to be lovely people are have settled in a beautiful town. I loved living in Annapolis and working in Baltimore. I held the position of Executive director for Maryland’s Child Support Program. Main office in Baltimore with a satellite office in Annapolis. I’ll have to tell you about that someday. I enjoyed living at the mouth of the Seven River and was able to watch the sunrise. After retiring I decided to move to Cape May and watch the most beautiful sunsets. A metaphor for my life? Even from my front porch I can see it. I sold my Annapolis condo to buy this old farmhouse (C 1890) which has been designated historic. I had made many friends involved in the healing arts and dated a Naturopathic Doctor whose office (Bodhi Clinic) is now in Columbia MD. Please don’t think me as pushy; however, it might be fun to meet up. Enjoy your week. Joe.
Just loved Mr Bloke hugging the freed tree and you saying "Gotcha tree, we gotcha!". Conveyed so much emotion in just a magical clip - brilliant vidoegraphy. Do hope your visa issues are sorted out in a positive manner, I can only wish you the very very best of luck. Keep safe you two.
Looks so much better...you both have worked so hard through some really challenging circumstances,!!! Perhaps a lawyer could help with the visa mess. Sometimes we can do more damage in trying to do it ourselves!! You will figure it out as you have with every other problem. Stay strong!!
Just like the trees and hazelnuts you planted, the fruits of labours will prevail, roots will grow deep, as will time in France when the Visas come through. Don’t allow the invasive ivy take over and crowd your vision or cherry tree! Jobs well done.
I’ve never written on a vlog before. I had to write here. I love your home in France! I love the work and the love you both share on this site! I hope you continue with this effort and that the work visa thing will happen for you. If I was younger I’d go there and dig with you! Thank you for sharing this with me.
French visas can be tough! Call on some legal experts for help. Truly, ridiculous since they allow expats to buy land & homes. But you two are very special and as strong as your oaks. I loved that the cherry was released from the Ivy! Sending you love & support❣️🌱❤️
Only 2 videos on youtube that I never want to end!!......Mr. & Mrs Bloke and Dreaming of a Chateau❤ You both make everything beautiful from recycled ,unwanted stuff and your both "Earth Mothers". Thank you for 26 min.of Joy ❤❤
The planting of those oak trees gave me goose bumps. It is truly symbolic of you both putting down your roots in France and I’m sure will lead to your permits coming through. Have faith. 🦋
@@budzcreates It looks like they may have been planted too DEEP. @25:27 But I am only going by a video. >>> Always plant a tree at the same level as the soil in the pot or top of the root ball.” The top of the soil in the pot.....should be at the same *Level as the ground. You can Look this up.....and Good Luck.
Great video guys you have worked so hard and made the place look more natural and back to its better place it was meant to be that way so on wards and up wards for you both thank you for sharing chat soon all the best Budo xx
What can we say, everyone has said it. We love watching you both and the transformation. ❤ Sending love and light to you both and the cats xx Louise and Bryan.
Planting a tree is always a good way to help sink roots. Your new oak trees will need regular watering the 1st year to help them get their roots settled in. Ask a local nursery how often and how much.
I sure hope you get your visa issues resolved. You’re doing such good work! And I love love love those five black cats. The scene where they were sitting in a sentry line all evenly spaced was adorable!
The smell of hay is the best isn't it. So is Olivier 😍. So are your Mom and Jed. Fabulous week. Meanwhile keep jumping those hoopa... Keep visualizing....keep acting as if. ♥️🇨🇦
Thank you for a most amazing video, Loved every second of it. Will pray so that your visas get approved and you can continue to build dreams in your beautiful French home.
Love the blue door. That tree was taking huge breaths every time a piece came off. I cried when you hugged it. Thank you, thank you. It feels loved. Greetings from Australia. Hi Olivier. Greetings to Mum and Ged. Love the song words at the end. See yar next time.
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey. Finally a Homestead outside of the USA!!! God ☦️ ☦️ bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in 🙏🏻 Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 💙 🙏🏻
Oh you have both worked so hard, the land is looking magical, love how you got the creeper off the stunning cherry tree. I was sad watching you put in all the new windows, I felt like you were getting ready to lock up……. I’m sorry to hear you are having visa problems, I hope it can be resolved , I so look forward to seeing you both and your beautiful fur babies each week…..kindest regards Ruth from New Zealand…….
Keep that mesh you picked up between the building & fence. It could be used to filter/sieve soils that has rocks & roots etc. Build a wooden frame then apply the mesh to it. The finer soil material falls through leaving the rubbish on the top. Then sort & relocate the various sorts of rubble etc.
Are you aware of French land law - if you allow someone to use your land ( whether paid or unpaid) they can claim it as theirs after a length of time. Be very careful or you could lose your meadows. Hope your Visa problems get resolved you have worked so hard. An inspiration and a joy to follow your journey.❤
Amending my previous comment. The Visa struggles must be scary, stressful, taxing and come with a degree of threat to your hopes and your dreams. You deserve to live out your dream in France and you have shown such commitment already to this. You have value and want to share this value, to contribute locally in such genuine, soulful, unobtrusive ways. You are assets and I imagine that this is the pragmatic question or view taken by their bureaucracy. So unless you have a dark criminal seedy sinister past 😮 then we believe that the road block about your visas will peel away presenting new life opportunities just like the ivy on your cherry tree!!! Isn’t it great how the windows and doors came into being?! So clever and creative. Function with rustic charm 🤗 The two of you are a strong loving force.
i agree, thats exactly what i've been told when i was in the US years ago, they were very condescending as you said about "thier bureaucracy" with far less wealthy advantages socially
Dear Bloke couple. 👍👌👏 A lot of progress is shown in this video. Congratulations ! 🎉 2) I wonder if the old machine/milling device can be used as a shredder for making very useful wood chips out of branches. Please kindly allow me to suggest that you try to find out. 3) By the way: Please buy yourselves or let donate a flat shovel. It's way more effective on flat grounds than a pointed/rounded shovel. 4) If you peel off the hairy stuff and dirt from the big pieces of ivy, you might be amazed/surprised how wonderful grown structures there are. Nice for making art but the wood must be protected against wood worms. Unfortunately I learned it the hard way (I had to throw away all my natural ivy mesh), sigh. 5) Hope the totally unnecessary, annoying/distracting visa thing will soon be solved. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved humans, animals and plants.
I concur , there are the right tools for every task , flat square mouth shovels clear debis more efficiently and less spillage , pneumatic tyres on wheelbarrows is almost a pleasure to push , and a light weight demountable scaffolding kit would be great to have in the future , you are doing a grand job and wish you every success .
I do hope all gets sorted out you are both a source of good for any country they should be glad to have you both I can only imagine the distress it is causing you bothsending positive thoughts and the whole building is coming alive with doors and windows bravo!
I'm really full of admiration for you both. You've made such a huge improvement to your property, and a lot of that occurred during quite dreadful weather. So I really hope the visa situation can be resolved happily for you. Wishing you both all the very best with everything 🤞❤️
Trust the journey not the perceived problem .......there is a solution that may not be visible or known to you yet however I see you happily settled so its not far away.....surrender and like magic Universal forces working in the background will sort things out...love and light Alessandra from Tuscany.❤
The weather must have finally warmed up if Mr. Bloke is working in his shirt sleeves! Clever use of windows! I hope you find a way to get the visas you need to stay. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Blessed Be!
I really enjoy watching how you have transformed this "jewel" that was neglected due to life happening. Your quest has been to take things that most people throw away and re-purpose them into a usable item. You seem to really focus on positivity a lot when you share which I really appreciate in a world that tends to be negative negative. I would like to make a suggestion... please consider updating your name of your UA-cam channel. Your place is a "Jewel" hidden in dirt and debris. Removing the name "dump" professes its possibility. It professes its potential. Maybe it will then bring positive energy into the visa situation. Your channel is about transformation and maybe it might change the situation. Maybe a slight name change would be the positive energy you need right now.🙏
We agree about the name. We use "Dump" more for a UA-cam marketing strategy - when you learn to do UA-cam they suggest catchy names and sadly more people click on dump than jewel! We couldn't agree with you more - words posses energy, but the title will stay for now.... we use the word "dump" lovingly and the place knows how much we love it. Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching! (Mrs. Bloke)
You have such a restful channel. I do hope something can be worked out so you are allowed to stay. You have done so much to fix and nurture the property you purchased. You gave new life to the tree that was being gurdled by the ivy vine! how happy it must be!
Lovely video as always very calming and good to see jobs getting done❤ love the cats all standing in a row😊 good luck to you both and we will chat soon Tracy Xx
I love your videos and I really hope you get it all sorted out. Get a good lawyer. Don’t stop trying! I cross all my fingers for a solution so you can stay!!! Cant wait for the next one.
So good to see you both back, I was beginning to worry a little about you both. I love watching how you have sprinkled your magic on this land when you first bought the farmstead and then with all your love and nurture how it then began to sprout new life, and as time has passed we have seen how with all the hard work you continue to feed the land the land wakes up and has taken a complete different look and feel to it, and it's got an old French rustic romantic farmhouse and land feeling to it, the type you would picture read about 😊. Praying for you both that things can be sorted out and you get your visas❤ sending you love and hugs.
Hope things work out for you two. You have made such progress on setting down roots and making a home for yourselves. The property is looking spectacular. Such hard work from both of you.
Great to get some windows in. I’d suggest finding an advisor to help with your visa application. There will be someone who can navigate the French bureaucracy for you ❤
Great to see you guys back. Good luck with the work visas, you deserve them after what you've done to the dump! Think it's time to drop that tag as in my eyes it's truly beautiful, you've made it look amazing. With the harvesting of the hay contributing to the local economy and your future plans, I'm sure the mayor will help pursue your work visas. Stay safe ❤
God, i know how you feel taking off that ivy. It was all over the rear of our renovation .it took me ages to get it off. Good luck to you both. We are just starting our journey and were not far from you, Gina & Chubb ❤
I cross my fingers for your Visas. Your house is looking better and better. As said above don't hesitate to see the Mayor, explain your project and remain positiv, your are no more living in a dump.. ( Delay : don't forget we are in Election period till July 7th and your Mayor is converned as well)... Welcome to Normandy !
Our admiration is only growing for you . Your dream is also our dream , I hope we meet at one time in france. When we are also living there in our own homestead.
Slowly but surely you are making this your home. It’s amazing the progress already. Keep your beautiful positive attitude as it’ll all work out as you want it to be.
This must be very stressful. I hope you are working hard on your Plan B (and C and D). The place is looking so much more loved and cared for. Good work!
Adding more doors and windows makes such a difference. I am so looking forward to seeing the missing lintel put back in its place. I feel that it is the keystone, and a turning point for you and your new home. PS - I have been following you since your Mann box video.
you've perfected the Croc-shuffle Mr Bloke ~ There was a Croc-éd man, who walked a Croc-éd mile, he found a Croc-éd sixpence beside a Croc-éd style, he bought 5 Croc-éd cats who caught 5 Croc-éd mice and they all lived together in a little Croc-éd house.
I love watching someone else tidy up and organise their stuff. Sorry to hear your visa problems. I hope there’s some way of sorting this out for you guys. Your property is looking so good. Thank you for sharing
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! No, no! It's not the end. Positivity and double rainbows kind of magick! Make sure you get all the help and advice as possible. (Strictly Legal France is good for that on VisageLivre) sorry being cautious here. Truly, bright blessings to you both. XX
We care about you. Imagine yourselves on the other side of the Visa challenge and related concerns. Imagine that your visa apps have been accepted and how you feel, how your world looks being over that hump and with the freedom to expand in all of the ways that you love to. That time that jump that feeling of elation is already in motion. Your place is steadily becoming your beautiful grounded and inspiring sanctuary.

I love your videos and I really hope you get it all sorted out. Get a good lawyer. Don’t stop trying! I cross all my fingers for a solution so you can stay!!!
Cant wait for the next one.
Sorry about your work visas, but you will find a way, you always have. Inspirational. 👍👋
The area looks nice and neat now. Well done. Thinking of you with the visas.
Thanks! 😃
You made a lot of progress.... Impresive cleaning up the next room and particularly the cherry tree gets freed! Big kudos to both of you!
So good to see you both back, I was beginning to worry a little about you both.
I love watching how you have sprinkled your magic on this land when you first bought the farmstead and then with all your love and nurture how it then began to sprout new life, and as time has passed we have seen how with all the hard work you continue to feed the land the land wakes up and has taken a complete different look and feel to it, and it's got an old French rustic romantic farmhouse and land feeling to it, the type you would picture read about 😊.
Praying for you both that things can be sorted out and you get your visas❤ sending you love and hugs.
Thank you ❤️
Missed you both so much. Sending love and positive thoughts to you 💛
It's not a dump.. it's a positive property to start from to make a nice home to live in. All the best with the future!
It is a beautiful property now. That’s just the name of the show :) 😅
Hope things work out for you two. You have made such progress on setting down roots and making a home for yourselves. The property is looking spectacular. Such hard work from both of you.
😊❤
You two and friends have done a beautiful job. It looks great. Hope everything works out. The old saying " We make plans and God laughs". 😊
You've both done a great job keep pouring love into your home it's beautiful. So, good to see your parents helping.
Love and Light ❤❤
Great to see you back. I hope you sort out the visa situation soon .
All the best.
So glad to see your back, fingers crossed your Visa’s come through you are both such a welcome of fresh air…
Gutted for you both after watching how hard you've both worked on the farmhouse and land but you will get your rewards I've no doubt 😊 paul
Great to get some windows in. I’d suggest finding an advisor to help with your visa application. There will be someone who can navigate the French bureaucracy for you ❤
Hello There, nice to see you both again 😉
Great to see you guys back. Good luck with the work visas, you deserve them after what you've done to the dump! Think it's time to drop that tag as in my eyes it's truly beautiful, you've made it look amazing. With the harvesting of the hay contributing to the local economy and your future plans, I'm sure the mayor will help pursue your work visas. Stay safe ❤
Thanks so much for watching!!
God, i know how you feel taking off that ivy. It was all over the rear of our renovation .it took me ages to get it off. Good luck to you both. We are just starting our journey and were not far from you, Gina & Chubb ❤
It felt so good to free up Miss Cherry!
I cross my fingers for your Visas. Your house is looking better and better.
As said above don't hesitate to see the Mayor, explain your project and remain positiv, your are no more living in a dump..
( Delay : don't forget we are in Election period till July 7th and your Mayor is converned as well)...
Welcome to Normandy !
Our admiration is only growing for you . Your dream is also our dream , I hope we meet at one time in france. When we are also living there in our own homestead.
Oh how I've missed you two!
Slowly but surely you are making this your home. It’s amazing the progress already. Keep your beautiful positive attitude as it’ll all work out as you want it to be.
All crossed for you both that you are able to stay in France and continue to build your own bit of paradise. Xxx
im loving watching this room get cleaned up and liveable. Thanks for the video.
This must be very stressful. I hope you are working hard on your Plan B (and C and D). The place is looking so much more loved and cared for. Good work!
I think we are on plan z😂

The farmyard is starting to look really nice, I hope the visa situation is solved
Great work, it's realy shaping up! Sending positive visa vibes your way. Keep going.
Adding more doors and windows makes such a difference. I am so looking forward to seeing the missing lintel put back in its place. I feel that it is the keystone, and a turning point for you and your new home. PS - I have been following you since your Mann box video.
Soooooo worth the wait!! Love you 2😊 keep moving forward!
Thank you!❤️
Great work on the cherry tree...et les portes et les fenetres aussi...incroyable! As always...peace and love ✌️
Your French is fantastic!!!❤❤❤❤
@@budzcreates vous avez email lol
you've perfected the Croc-shuffle Mr Bloke ~
There was a Croc-éd man, who walked a Croc-éd mile, he found a Croc-éd sixpence beside a Croc-éd style, he bought 5 Croc-éd cats who caught 5 Croc-éd mice and they all lived together in a little Croc-éd house.
Lovely 🥰 We call them indoor outdoors….They make life so much easier coming and going!
I love watching someone else tidy up and organise their stuff. Sorry to hear your visa problems. I hope there’s some way of sorting this out for you guys. Your property is looking so good. Thank you for sharing
6:30 my wife and I love you guys and your channel..wishing you all the luck in the world
Thank you ❤️
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! No, no! It's not the end. Positivity and double rainbows kind of magick! Make sure you get all the help and advice as possible. (Strictly Legal France is good for that on VisageLivre) sorry being cautious here. Truly, bright blessings to you both. XX
Lovely video! ❤ please come back soon! Good luck! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
That's awesome. A big Welldone to both of you. 😊
