So thrilled to see you back on youtube! Congrats on your transition and best wishes for many great videos! Cheers!
Nora and I are so, so, happy to see you guys back again. It looks like you’ve ended up in a very nice corner of the US, close to family with a little taste of France to go with it.
We’ll continue to follow you Pam and Daren. Good vibes and love being sent your way.
Santé! Bryan and Nora
Aw Thank you guys❤️
So gutted for you that the life in France didn't work out. Looks beautiful where you are and I'm sure with your positive attitudes you'll do your best and make a good go of things. Bon Chance❤
Thank you❤️
I'm sooo happy you are still filming!!!! Let's see what great adventure awaits ...looking at that lush garden from Tucson.....
Thank you❤️
Big welcome back into our lives with yours. So happy to see you both carving out a beautiful future together in another lovely place. Go team Blokies! xxx
Aw Thank you❤️
Sending happy thoughts and best wishes 💛✨️🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Thank you❤️
What a nice surprise! Most US citizens don’t realize how much influence France has had on the US including my home town of Annapolis. I bought two sailboats from the Tidewater Marina. Havre de Grace is such a lovely town.
Im currently living in Cape May in an historic farmhouse built in 1890. But I really miss Maryland. Enjoy your time in Maryland. Joe.
Cheers Joe❤️
Gracias por mostrarnos esos sitios tan maravilloso al igual que hiciste con Francia, mucha fortuna y deseando ver tus trabajos con tanto arte.
Already house hunting 😁, I love those old wooden farmhouses they have over there!
Lovely to see you again sorry to hear about France I've come across the issues with them before, lovely to see you back in the USA a great country, you two are so resilient hope all goes well this time I'll be eager to see and thanks for the pleasure. take care xx
I’m glad y’all posted again. Super happy y’all are doing well and sorting out your next steps. ❤❤
Thank you❤️
Welcome back. Thank you as ever for taking us with you...
Our pleasure!❤️
Glad to see you back ! I lived a bit north of Deal Island for a few years…Mt. Vernon/Princess Anne lovely area! Looking forward to you settling into a new home soon….😊
Thank you❤️
Glad to be with you once again, thank you for taking us with you.
A Gram from MO.
Thank you❤️
missin watchin ur weekly videos ,hope all well n get videos back on xx
Thank you❤️Slowly but surely❤️
J'espère qu'un jour vous reviendrez vous installer en Europe si c'est votre rêve, vous êtes très courageux tous les deux ... votre vidéo est agréable à regarder et j'ai hâte de voir la suite de votre installation.
I love fireflies. Get them in SA but not the UK. The children's author, Eric Carle, wrote a lovely story about a firefly.
They call them Blinkies in Jamaica
I am so glad you’re posting again. I really liked watching your videos of you both renovating your property in France. I am sorry to hear you could not continue there. I visited Etsy and placed a heart on a 1/2 dozen items to get Mr. Bloke back on page 1. Looking forward to your next video. Good luck 😊
Thank you❤️We really appreciate you taking the time on Etsy
Surprise here you are to my lonely eyes. I had to make sure my subscription was not playing games on me. Glad to see you and I am hoping you will stick around for everyones pleasure. I hope you find that little piece of heaven that does not need a crazy amount of work or change. Till next time welcome back to the States.
Thank you❤️
Welcome back to the US!
Hope all is well with you both. Would be great to get an update on what you’ve been doing lately. Best regards, Dale and Barbara
I can't understand why you;d want to live in France when you can live in that wonderful place. Vive la France ! Good luck and keep those videos coming
Thank you❤️
France didn't give them any choice but to leave, they really wanted to stay. If you haven't watched their last video, give a watch it'll explain everything.
What a lovely town. So happy for you.
Thank you❤️
So glad to see you back, I was wondering where you were. Wow all that amazing work you did in France I hope can go back to enjoy it xx
Thank you! 😃
What a lovely spot to land in. I thought, for moment, that you might try Cajun Country. Again, that French vibe. Either that or closer to Quebec. You've managed to find something in between. It won't be as miserably hot as Louisiana, nor as bitterly cold as Canada.
What a beautiful farm to come across with all that lavender and gardens. The wood is beautiful too! What a lucky find!
So, have you decided Maryland is where you definitely want to be? Minus horseflies naturally!
May your dream be everything I could wish for you and more! I'll look forward to you finding just the right house and how you make it your home. After all, you already have the most important parts, love and two open hearts!
Blessed Be!
Thank you Abigail❤️We think Maryland is a fabulous choice as it's so beautiful and we have a huge support network here❤️
@@mrbloke Maryland is an excellent state to live in especially if you’re interested in France. Did you know the tomb of the French unknown soldier is located on the grounds of Saint Johns College in Annapolis? And the General Lafayette encamped on a bluff in Annapolis? And the treaty of Paris which ended the US war for independence was signed in Annapolis? One of the most active chapters of the Alliance Française is the Annapolis chapter with many members being from France? I could go on but I’ll leave it for others to comment. A bientôt… Josef.
Great to see you both again keep safe.
Le Havre de Grace is a place I visited when travelling from Australia. Was one of my favourite towns to visit. So happy to see you both back on line. Hope you find somewhere to live soon.
Thank you❤️
So glad to see you guys back in the game in the US. Looks like a fabulous place there in Maryland. All our best wishes Eunan & Mandy Doherty, Donegal, Ireland 👍👏🇮🇪☘️
Thank you Guys❤️
Welcome to Maryland where the towns are quaint and the flag is wild! I hope you find the perfect place to settle down where the cats can roam and you feel at home very quickly. I ❤❤ a bunch of stuff on your Etsy shop for the algorithm. LET'S GO O's!!!
Woo Hoo! Thanks for the ❤️'s
We have horses flies here in Australia, 🇦🇺 they are only around for a little while. 😊
Welcome back to Maryland! You’re just up the road from us here in Severn! Havre de Grace is a lovely artsy town.
Hello neighbor❤️
We wish you both all the best , to bad france did’nt work out . Love youre videos . !!
Thank you ❤️
Heureuse de vous savoir en famille, hâte de connaître votre prochain lieu de rêve.
❤️
I’m so excited for the next part of your beautiful dreams!
Looks like a lovely town hope you are able to settle and enjoy your lives again as some one else said Frances loss more fool them
Thank you❤️
Nice to see you both are doing good! I'll be looking forward to your new chapter. I know that you will find just the right place to make it your happy place! Take care my friends! ❤
Thank you❤️
Sorry to see you had to leave france, we wish you all the best.
Thank you❤️
Looks so pretty there.
Stay positive you two, you’re doing great! Americas gain Frances loss! x
Thank you❤️
as a french guy, I'm really sorry :( it's even more saddening as we let the illegal immigrants enter and work, give them financial support while sometimes receiving nothing in return... France is a joke, I'm ashamed
Looking forward to this new Episode. Wishing you both strength, joy and happiness.
Thank you❤️
Seeing you this evening (from Avranches, 50) was like seeing old friends...Le Havre de Grace looks wonderful and I hope you'll find a nice home for yourselves and the kitties. You both worked so hard in France, in dire conditions as we had the worse weather for years...just a few days of sun this week. I hope that you managed to sell without problems. All the very best to you both.x
Thank you❤️We'll keep you posted if/when the house sells. As you probably know - real estate deals take an age in France!
Such a contrast between two great nations!
Hi Daren & Budzy! I received my spice rack yesterday in a very timely manner & we just love it❣️ It’s so well crafted and love the color we chose. It’s such a beautiful addition to our kitchen, thank you so much❣️ I have tried to write a review on Etsy but I could not open the app. I will keep trying! Hope you folks are well🌸❣️
Hi Debbie ❤️Thank you so much! We are very happy to hear that you love your spice rack. Thanks for supporting our little channel and also helping our Etsy shop along❤️❤️❤️You are awesome!
Can't wait to see what you get up to in the USA ❤
Thank you for sharing Maryland with us, good luck with the house hunt, hopefully one day you can get back to France, we really enjoy your updates Thanks!

Glad to have you back in my home again, thanks for the video's, I wish you the best

Thank you❤️
So happy to see you both 😊
Welcome back to the States! As someone who grew up in Delaware and have friends & family in Maryland, I enjoyed today's video. In fact, my ex's father once worked in Havre de Grace. You did their Chamber of Commece a solid 😅
I don't miss those bottle flies, however!!
Thank you❤️We love it here!
Welcome home and to your next adventure!!! Sending you both the very best!!!!🦋
Thank you so much!!❤️
Yehhhhhhh, hi guys. I was thinking…..you’re like your cats. Landed on your feet. So good to see you. (Loved Lucy’s garden). Greetings from Australia.
Very cool old farm house!
Hi to you both, I was so disappointed to hear that you had to leave your property in France , I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your unique way of tackling the renovations of the rather derelict property and was looking forward to watching you gradually bring the old property back to life. I will definitely continue to support your channel and I am sure that there will be many more knew and innovative projects. You just seem to be the type of people to make the most of your situation in a very positive way even though there must have been many disappointments following your last venture. Best wishes and success from an avid fan Collette…..
Thank you so much for your kind words Collette❤️
Glad that you are Somewhat settling back to near normal ,after the upheaval. - One day ,if you still have it in mind (?) There maybe a neglected haven back in France, awaiting !
Looks like there's a lot of good things going on over that side of the water! Good work adjusting to the big change of plan!! X
Cheers Laura❤️We're getting there!
So glad you’re back on, France have lost a very enthusiastic couple.. Good luck for your future with much abundance and prosperity..
Thank you❤️
Nice video. There’s always Italy in the future. lol
Hi hello American friends,i didn't realise that you had left France, I was looking forward to see that house to become a cosy home , but well c'est la vie , what will you do with the house then? all the best wishes for your new life over there, take care ❤️❤️ from France 🇫🇷
Thank you❤️The house is up for sale
Lovely to have you back. Lots of love from Kathryn & George in Australia. ❤❤
Thank you K & G❤️
Je ne connais pas Havre de Grâce. On visite les US à chaque été et vous me donnez le goût de passer dans le coin ;)
Welcome back, and happy that the two of you …and the cats…are safe and sound! Glad that you are making the Chesapeake Bay Area your home! I am a bit further south from you on the Middle Peninsula in Virginia, and we love it.
Looking forward to following you all on your new adventures. Good luck and bright blessings! ❤️
Thank you ❤️
Wishing you the best on your new adventure…your new town looks lovely ! Bises from a Bostonian (Sox fan) in Marseille 😉
Thank you! 😃
Loved the garden tour…….
Hello my friends. I had to rewatch this episode. You guys nailed it perfectly. A nice transition from France to Maryland. Seeing that part of MD made me nostalgic for it. The water scenes also reminded me of SNEBS or shorthand for the rivers Susquehanna, Northeast, Elk, Bohemian and Sassafras. Beautiful names for the five freshwater heads of the Chesapeake. I liked the farmhouse too but those nasty green heads are brutal. As are the helicopter sized mosquitoes especially around Smith Island.
You two are lovely folks. Have a pleasant evening and I hope you’ll be celebrating La fête national française. I always do. A bientôt. Joseph retired in Cape May.
Thank you Joseph❤️We will be raising a glass on Bastille day🥂.....❤️SNEBS❤️
@@mrbloke T least we’re on the same time zone. I always watch Bastille Day ceremonies on UA-cam or France 24. I’ll probably enjoy a few bottles of “Kronenbourg 1664” beer with a Demi baguette aux jumbon crude et salade. Champagne “actually a brut Spanish cava” and quiche during the fireworks.
Aw, it looks idyllic. I do hope you're not too disappointed . I wish you well..
Thank you❤️We're happy❤️
I was thrilled to see Part 2 of ya'lls adventure today and i soooo enjoyed watching ! All the very best to you both !
Thank you❤️
I'm so sorry you've lost your French dream. For very different reasons I've lost my future time in Italy and my place there. But you can now make a good life in a new place. And, if you find a good income stream, hang on to your vacation home in France.
Sorry to hear that❤️
So happy to see you again. I really missed you. Good luck with your new adventure. 😍😍😍🐱🐱🐱
Thank you!! 😊
Glad to see episode one of the new season! Looks like a beautiful area. I'm looking forward to seeing your new adventure unfold. Kitty video please!
Thank you❤️Yes we really need to do a kitty video❤️
So happy that you are back. Looking forward to the new chapter. Lots of love from Fl.
Thank you❤️
Welcome back! Good to see you arrived safely.
Thank you❤️
Loved the video, looks a beautiful place & the cats looked amazing after their upheaval. Looking forward to following your new journey with you, love Lesley & Mick. Kent, England ❤
Thanks so much! 😊❤️
❤❤❤ Can't wait for a visit. You've gotta be loving the sunshine!!🌞
OMG!!! So happy to be in the sunshine❤️We hope to see you real soon❤️
@@mrbloke Yayyyyyy!
Loved the update 😊
Happy to have you back, even though we all miss the cottage, now the alters that you are making, would also be great for bonsai display stands, but would need screws or brackets, or cross bar for larger bonsai plants, there is a large market out there , ,Sydney Australia,👍👍
Thank you❤️We will look into that.
saw a vlog from you and checked the date and a big smile to see you again. Love where you are at, and anywhere around there would be great minus the blackflies. Know them well here in Canada. I guess the biggest shock is to have SUNSHINE!!!Please be careful with the kitties, they are mixed up a bit. You are going to do really well. I can feel it.
Thank you❤️We are loving being back in the sunshine❤️The cats are all doing great....They travel so well. We're very impressed with how well they adapt❤️
Nice video again.
Glad to see you both in good spirits.
Thank you❤️
Good to see you again…sorry about all the work you put into the French property only to have to leave…did you manage to sell the French property ? 7:56
❤️We are working on it!
Looks like your back into the USA life now it’s lovely where your at 👍
So sad to see you left France.
C'est presque la France 😊😊
Cela ressemble un peu au Golfe du Morbihan.....
Sad to see your plans in France came to a sad ending
But good luck on your new journey .And Hope you find your right home soon.I did wonder about you staying in France to live as i live in Spain( Sevilla)im now a residente of Spain after a long toll in getting It sorted.
Lived in Spain 45 years today.😊
I am from the Uk.Just LOVE Europe.
Thank you❤️....Europe is awesome. We will be back one day!
