    CHILD LABOR!!! Lol I absolutely positively LOVE how well you raise your adorable boys!! It’s so incredible how much they seem to thrive there on your little slice of heaven. It’s amazing how much they help and seem to really enjoy it. You’re teaching them the importance of self reliance, accountability, chores and all of those important things at such a young age. What incredible parents you both are!! I watched 2 of your videos then realized how sweet your little family was and went to the very first one and have binged watched all of them now. How enjoyable!! You seem to be getting better and better at you tuning as well. I feel like I know you now. Haha! Thanks for the entertainment and sharing your darling lives with all of us. God bless you all! Xoxo

    To the comment re getting organised and getting on with it. Do remember he works as well and money is very tight so every little job takes time and will be prioritised according to what can be achieved as time and money dictate. I also think your boys are gorgeous. Mine, who are grown men were very close only 13mths apart. Your patience is incredible well done. I feel guilty as I did my jobs when they were either asleep or entertained.

    Jack is no quitter! He was so determined to carry the planter by himself. He is definitely a chip off the old man’s block! Thomas too...he didn’t want to stop his gardening. They are such a nice family and so much to do! If I was in France I would organize a clean up the yard day for them to help out. Feel guilty just watching, but so much enjoy it.

    Started at the beginning and still not caught up on all of the older vlogs. Enjoying it so much. My fathers family comes from Northeastern France and Leicestershire, England from the 1700's and I'm thrilled the revival is picking up to refurbish all the chateaus and castles and bringing the farmland along and restoring the lakes and canals. I love seeing you Dan on the digger. What fun. The food you prepare is so elegant. Wish I could try it. Love your family and all you do to teach them the value in hard work. The garden lovely but I'm watching pre 2021.

    we had a shorter pool from 2004 to 2016, left it up in winter in Canada , didn't empty it, it filled with snow, the dog went in, filled dognail holes with goo, started to deteriorate after 12 years, emptied it in spring washing it, put a floating chlorine puck holder in as soon as the ice melted out, never filled with algae, had to replace the filter pump 3 times even though we brought it in in winter, our well is 323 feet deep, hard water, used plastic tubing to suck the settled iron off the bottom, used a net on a stick to take leaves out
