Julie & Ian
I've enjoyed most of your videos, but this one is amongst the most enjoyable. You two are truly amazing. Please hire a professional to sell your 'turn-key' business/property so you can maximize your return.
We will but they do charge a fortune 😮
Amazing! You folks are special. Thank you for sharing this in-depth look at the last 2 decades of really hard work.
Thanks Roger 😀
Wow, your business/home is gorgeous and your combined talents and workmanship is finely displayed. What a beautiful getaway for people weary of their current bustle. Looking forward to all the new things you have coming for us.
Thank you so much! 😊
I love this video. How exciting to finally see the business facility. Yes. Someone is going to get a very well set up bike touring business. The amount of work you've accomplished over the years is impressive. Very well done.
Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻
Oo boy, you are awesome. Huge respect and support. Keep livong your dreams!!!
Regards from Oslo!!!
Thanks so much!! 😀
Only seems like yesterday we were staying and riding with you! So many good memories - I still have the birthday card you got me Julie an Ian, I have your hand drawn map showing the way home taking your "shortcut" over a couple of col's. I still smile every time I hear Tyson mention and Saskia trying to camp in his paddock!
Hi Kerry - so good to hear from you. Just got back from a Pyrenean Traverse, now heading off to the Basque Country. Tyson is still going strong, now 37 years old. We are old grandparents too with Lewis having two little French kids.... How are you guys, it has been a while now. 😀
Oh what a beautiful home you have created. Can understand the downsizing, but what a wrench!
It really is! Longest home we have ever lived in ☹️
Loved this video. U certainly put ur hearts and souls into that place. It shows. Very tidy inside and out. You pair have been flat out there. Thanks for sharing
Your house would be a great place for a bed & breakfast in the country side , beautiful house and your right to down size now because once your older and more gray a big house like that is a lot of work, you need to relax and enjoy life. Larry
Exactly right. Need to put my feet up
Hi guys have been watching you both progress through your new build from the start and thank you both for sharing your lifestyles with us all. You have worked incredibly hard to succeed with your business and that is evident in your honesty. Thanks for sharing this with us, can’t wait for the next chapter, ‘the house build’ ! Have a great summer 👍
Thanks Robert, means a lot 😀
Brilliant if I was younger I would buy it from you it is sure to sell guys
We have not started the process yet - scary stuff.
Wow you deserve it all with the hard work you have put in 👍❤
Thank you so much!

Thanks for showing this side of your life, gives more perspektive and all. Keep up your dream, looks like it will come true.
Thank you 🙏
Wow! What a wonderful life you both created! Well done ❤

So much hard work. You should be proud of your accomplishments.
Thank you. It is hard remembering back to all that work.
Remember the good times and forget the hard times And life will be happy
I wish you all the best
Cheers Billy 👍
4:49 I think Ian works hard. I’m not saying anything I’ve been grey for a long time. Enjoy your new home when you move in and thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.
Haha, I thought the same when I saw that photo
Wow , just wow ,what a place you have made for yourselves.It's lovely, and good luck in the future for you both .
Thank you so much 😊
Fantastic episode. Impressive home. Wish you had done this years ago as it gives great insight. If Julie can replicate that garden, wow.
Thanks Arthur 👍
Such a nice insight in what you've been doing, selling your 19 year old business, great move.
Ah, this is pre-recorded 🙂
Thanks guys, cheers 👍💪✌
We can’t afford to sell just yet, a few more years of parallel working.
You guys have such an amazing story. Thank you so much for bringing us along and sharing with us all. I look forward to your videos every week, you never disappoint.
Thank you so much! 😊
I've no idea how you do it all! I cut half the grass today and I'm wrecked.
My body is certainly not forgiving me these days 😬
You guys are inspiring .
Cheers Peter 👍

Snook you in Jason 😁
Love all the Befores, but seeing the hens is my favorite. Great episode. Cheers from the USA ❤
Lots more hen action. The big release when we get back this Saturday
Thanks for showing us through your home it's really impressive what the two of you have done I'd love to live in a home like that all those mancagepure sheds out back shear luxury.welldone keep those videos coming 😂😊
The workshops will be hard to let go. But we have built the new one now so can’t wait to get busy in it 👍
Lovely, great to see where you live and what you do for a living. Great job on the house renovation. One of your best vlogs. Keep up the good work.👍
Thank you 🙏
great, looks like a great cycling busines for someone to step into... Good luck with finding a lucky new owner.
Just need to find them
Lovely thanks Ian and Julie for the video
Thank you Billy 👍
You've both created an amazing beautiful home and business. Great video ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
Luv it has loads of history what a beautiful property x
Cheers Tam 😀
Lovely video thank you .
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely Stunning Home ❤️ 👀
Thank you! 🤗
This is really a video that calls for smooth TV presenters who can walk and talk while appearing to be comfortable and in control. No need to look very far for on-camera talent because you both fill the bill with lots left over. I'd like to know someday whether either or both of you have on-camera experience. Most people can't do what you do in this video - be yourselves while "performing." Congratulations on this and all the other things you do so well.
You are so kind. No presenting experience at all. You can see from our earlier videos 😂
I really enjoyed this video. I wish you all the very best.
Thank you so much! 😊
Very nice video! Beautifull renovation you have done there. Waiting here to see the construction of your new home.
Very soon! We will start the foundations end of summer
Thank you dreamteam! It looks wonderful. What a work has been put in your home/ business.
Cheers Edwin 👍🏻
Julie can you do a short on how you string up your tomatoes? Thx
When we get back I will do one. They are pretty big now. 😀
Love all your videos, your living my dream.
Haha, it is a nice spot. Winning the lottery would top it all off 😂
What a beautiful beautiful property! Always look forward to your videos
A cheeky thumbs up from me!
Cheers 👍
You both have such a wonderful home. Seeing all those bikes brought back memories of when I used to cycle so long ago. I had moved temporarily into my mothers for a while near the end of my days of cycling & then after finding an alternate place to live I moved out of my mothers place & had my bikes, rollers & tools temporally stored in a small 6 foot x 3 foot shed while I was getting my new place prepared. Other family members had their stuff in other sheds in the backyard also but when I came back about a year later to collect everything it was all gone but all the other family's possessions were still in the other sheds. The family had shoved it on the kerb for anyone to help themselves to it.
Can you imagine a Reynolds 531 professionally made criterium road frame with Shimano Dura Ace AX gearing with Campag wheels with Clement 12 cotton singles, the road bike you could lift up on your little finger plus a Tange Aero Reynolds 750 track frame with Campag wheels with Clement 9 cotton singles as well as Shimano Dura Ace AX gearing plus all the specialized tools & rollers all thrown out. The Track bike I set the unofficial world record of 1 min 52 seconds for the 1000m Timetrial in 1984 & 1 min 48 seconds in 1988. The Road bike had won many races long & short distance as I was not only capable of long endurance races but also extremely good at sprinting.
I didn't care about trophies etc as I lived for riding & winning so it would have been nice to keep the bikes as something to hang up on the wall for others to wonder why I would have 2 bikes on the wall but my dysfunctional family for some reason hated me doing cycling. Not one of them ever came to any of my events or cared about if I was any good or not. All I got was why are you wasting your money on stupid bikes when you're never going to get anywhere with them. If I were to buy 2 bikes of the same abilities today then they would be tens of thousands of dollars to replace each, it's such a shame that the world has crazy ppl like that in it.
Those were the days, toe clips and down shifters. The bike hanging on the wall was Julie’s brothers’ back from 86 when I met her. Got me started in racing.
You two are absolute amazing! Thank you so much for sharing, I am so in awe of what you have done and continue to do! ❤️
Thank you so much! 😊
Leuk om te zien! Nu kunnen we zien waar jullie bouwskills vandaan komen
We hebben niet veel gedaan aan ons huis in Voorschoten toen we daar woonden (voor Frankrijk), maar we hielden van de Nederlandse architectuur. 👍🏻
I love you guys!
Thank you 🙏
Great video, impressive results you’ve achieved and no doubt will continue to achieve, I think you must run your lives at 1.25 speed!
Slowed down a little now we are back at work for a while ☹️
Great job you guys did on the house and property. Should be an easy sell to the right person. And I totally agree its so much nicer doing a new build vs a remodel. On a remodel you spend more time and $ in materials redoing stuff vs just building it all from scratch. I totally agree on if you could swap out the house for a smaller one and staying as that would be perfect. So how busy are you in the off season. Should I grab the better half and make a trip there?
You are more than welcome. Our off season is from end of September to start of May. Building and building
Great guys
Thank you 😊
Very slick video :)
Thank you
When the move happens please keep posting videos of your life in France.
You get new viewers from different projects but they stick around because of your personalities.
Thank you. We will of course. It is keeping us honest and motivated
Hi Ian an julie
😀
Than you
Or even thank you
Cheers Christian 👍
Wonderful video so interesting. How many containers are you planning on converting ? Looking forward to following that build. Top team.
We are muddling through our design at the moment - but there will be at least one container involved
Sorry to differ BUT! By now you are pretty good builders. You just don't get paid, other then a nice place to live.... You have really done an impressive remodel to your current home.
We are learning along the way 😬
Hmmm.. strange parallels......The fist house I bought i1980 (Derbyshire) was an old Flax Farm that had been converted into two houses for the two daughters, who although not hating each other led very separate lives.(one got married)..My plan was to buy up the second part when the old lady died......but complications with my wife who became my ex put the mockers on that plan.
It was weird when we signed for the house. The two 70 year old girls even started hitting each other. 😮
@@HomesteadingUncontained Blimey....for me the two old ladies were in their late 50's, (youngsters) one met a bloke for the first time (at old time dancing classes) and the other was a district nurse (she drove a battered old mini clubman estate - which she used to scrape along the dry stone wall at the side of the garden to get to the garage - she said the driveway was small, I had a Marina 1.8TC and I never hit anything....I,ll swear she used to stop only when she hit the back wall of the garage!!!) Both were affable, the one I bought the half a house from.(it was a big old farmhouse made of stone blocks 2 foot thick)....needed money to buy a property with her new fella, I offered a cash deal...took the money in a brief case 13,000 pounds in fivers....nothing in todays money, wouldn't buy a good used car....but they grabbed the money and I got 3 grand off....went straight to her solicitors and handed over the paperwork. Then the renovation work started, house was solid, but one day I came home from work and my ex (that's why she is my ex) had carpet fitters in and they had carpeted over the stairs to my cellar.(you are too young to know but it was like the entrance to Grandad Munster's laboratory)....this was a real old farmhouse cellar with big stone butchering slabs and hooks in the ceiling for carcases....my future workshop!!! marriage ended there🤣🤣🤣🤣

Far too big for u2, served a purpose at the time no doubt, best move, always get debt free as soon as possible, life can take a nasty turn, you never know, enjoy it now before you cant.
So true. Thanks 😊
