The fact that you are now able to talk about Lynx so beautifully without crying made me feel super proud of you 🥹 I remember it as if it was yesterday, and I remember how much it affected you even time after that and now seeing that you healed makes me so happy 🥲✨ I truly wish you and Ali the best, you both have a beautiful family 🐱🐶🐶🫶🏼
Grief is such a journey isn’t it, we still miss him so much x
@@lydiamillen you always talk about country grandma vibes ... your not even a mum... let alone a grandma ... you couldn't even keep 2 cats alive... God save your kids. let's hope you choose not to have them.
@@jmem7518 Whatever you're going through, I truly hope you can get through it so it can help you from projecting your unhappiness onto others.
I was just thinking the same 🐈⬛
@@jmem7518 You seem to be so full of hatred and should never try to make others feel as l low as you do. Shame on you. If you don't like her channel just move on.
I love all your videos and they all inspire me on some level. This is one, however, is one of my favorites! I felt like I was there with you experiencing the beauty and loveliness of France. Your joy of what you see, how you appreciate it, makes me smile and feel happy too. It reminds me to notice all the beauty around me, appreciate my life. I will be wanting to watch this over and over. I love how you love your life and how you and Ali have created a life that makes you both so happy. Oh and the dresses….you make me want to care again about what I wear, how I show up in the world and more importantly how I show up for myself. Everything about this video was perfection 💚
I couldnt agree more with you Marcia...I felt like I was exploring with her...Not surprised this the hour went by so quick...This was breathtaking
You make me so happy thank you 🤍
agreed 10000%
oh my goodness Lydia, I have been in floods of Happy tears watching. I'm so glad to finally have someone that's seen this beautiful part of France. I was 16 when I visited with my step Dad and brother we went by car and took bikes. It was an absolutely an amazing time away and I now need to get back there with my husband and daughter. Thank you as always for sharing. Much lov3 and happy tears Katrina x
It’s so nice to see how much you love your life now, you get as excited over the apron as over new Hermes bag 😁 I wish you and Ali all the happiness in the world! You two are the cutest and the biggest style inspirations!!! 💖
Such an inspirational vlog.
All the beautiful gardens and interior design and beautiful Lyds of course, just lovely. ☺️
Lydia, may I say a very big thank you for taking us to France & taking the time to explain the chateaus & the filming 🙏🏻 very enjoyable ❤️🇬🇧xxxxx
THANK YOU !!!! 🙏🏻 For taking us along in your Gorgeous trip. This was a 5 Star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Vlog
What a beautiful , beautiful vlog ! I could have stayed all day in their gorgeous shop in Paris ! Just perfection xxxx
Lydia, I love watching this vlog! Your enthusiasm is contagious. I love the flower gardens and the castles. I am not your typical demographics, I am a 61 yr old American but found you during the shutdown. I have enjoyed watching you grow and mature into a beautiful woman and wife.
Lol. I’m not her demographic either. Midwest American woman “of a certain age”. Regardless i LOVE Lydia and find her always inspiring.
You lovely ladies are mistaken there are more over 55s here than under 18s 🤍and I wouldn’t have it any other way x
@@lydiamillen I like to think we are you real "granny chic" crew :) You're the BEST
@@lindah0816 Same! I am an American over 50 living in the desert (Dubai) and starting all over again after a horrific divorce (he's a Brit) from scratch and imagining what happiness should look like again with a little one. Never thought of myself as "granny chic" but no opposed to it either!
I’m 65 yr American from PR
What fun 🤩… thank you for taking us along with you on your trip to France. 🤗
When you showed the last garden it literally took my breath away. Unbelievably gorgeous! What a wonderful getaway.
What a beautiful trip!! Amazing chateaus..landscaping..gardens..places to stay!! Loved all the green in that one chateau..a dream 😍 Thank you sooo much for taking us along 💟
The dream trip I think this is probably one of my favourite vlogs and lovely to see you in your element amongst the things that naturally inspire you 🌿🌸
Hi Lydia, I've been following you for nearly 7 years. Started in my mid 30's, when you were still in your 20's. I mention that as a preface to say, after all these years i just about never comment. I think this is my third comment on one of your videos in over 7 years. I watch your vlogs without fail, and this is by far my absolute favourite of yours. It is the perfect balance of beauty (which is often and sadly perceived as a vacuous pursuit, yet need not be, if and when presented well), which you have nailed! :) It is beauty with substance, a glimpse into where something can start and end (ie: botanicals, into stunning fragrance, amidst beautiful locations etc) It is obviously something that the French have perfected over the centuries. Anyway, thank you for the perfect balance of fashion on this trip, plus travel, plus soul full-filling projects (botany) that have amounted to a stunning vlog.
Complete side note - I haven't been able to take my eyes off your watch, just wondering 2 things, is it the Tank Francaise?
I've had my eye on that model before, but only ever seen it in photos online. Second question- is it yellow gold as it's sometimes tricky with lighting to ascertain whether it's yellow or rose gold. Either way, it is simply stunning. :) Love from Australia.
This vlog was so lovely 🥰 I really love content like this where you’re clearly so passionate about everything you’re experiencing- wonderful!
Wow, that was an absolutely stunning video. Thank you so much for taking us along.
Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! Breathtaking chateaus with some amazing antiques and glorious gardens! I could ride along for these Chateau tours all day long! If you want an excuse to go to France frequently and start a chateau tour series, I’m definitely on board! I love beauty and it’s everywhere you look! Loved this vlog!
Omg. I know Lydia you said you couldn't stop smiling but neither could I. I absolutely loved this vlog. The dresses looked amazing on you. Thanks for taking us along to France.
I had so much memories when I watched this. I have been in France in 1990 December 1st spend there a month. It was amazing, watched this blog definitely wanna go back there ♥️
Hi Lydia your Vlog today is one of my favourites I have ever seen; this feels like I was really there with you. Your descriptions everything in such detail. I wish vlog was longer because it was so interesting. I’m very excited and can’t wait for the Second part! 🥰
Paintings never need glass (if on canvas, wood pane etc) - if it is a work on paper then it should be behind glass. To keep the work looking it’s best, you would ideally use a glass with a high UV protection.
This has got be one of my favourite vlogs and made me smile so much in what is a difficult time at the moment. You and Ali are like a ray of sunshine and I've just watched Alis content and said you should do a bloopers video in particular your pronunciation of the French dialect which is so funny and endearing too. I'm 51 and am a brit livi g in Australia but your videos are my little piece of home and cannot wait to see them beautiful rolling hills of the Yorkshire dales. Take care beautiful girl and keep smiling. Xx. PS I even bought the Amazon dress that you have with the puff sleeves that you have in green and orange and am always getting complimented, so please keep the Amazon hauls coming. Xx
Lydia , This was spectacular . Thank you so much, I cannot wait to take this trip with my daughter . Brava bella . 🪴🥕🥦🥬🍆💚
This vlog was so * chef's kiss * Absolutely had a treat of a time going to all the chateaus and also fangirling over the landscaping and dreaming of owning a chateau! hahahaha This was such a fun brand trip! And you Lydia are such a delightful happy treat as well! It makes my heart happy to see you so full of joy! Thank you for sharing ❤
I’m so so happy you enjoyed it
This was such a beautiful video. Thank you for taking us along on your wonderful trip! I will be checking out this fragrance Co.
❤️🤗❤️you are beautiful too!
The most wonderful gift you can give is wanting things that she had. It’s comforting for her to know where her things are going to be loved.
What an amazing video - you packed so much beauty in this. Thank you !
Superb blog which made me very happy thank you X. You’re unique in the best possible way! Loved the chateaus, gardens and interiors - the way it was filmed made me feel I was there so I’d say an excellent job Lydia 😊
Lydia I love how much you respect your grandmother!!! Those pictures she have you are not only beautiful but priceless!!!! Honor and cherish them!😍
Happy to see your video today❤️❤️ they are slick in Italy also, pick pockets are ruining travels. Omg look at all the beautiful antiques in the last 2 Chateau
Looks like you were right in your element! You even matched with the green rooms 🤩 You definitely need to go back there and have a proper vacation, lovely!
The plant you liked is called Russian Sage :) It’s best suited for a well draining area because they’re like lavender and prefer to be a little more on the dry side. Lots of people will use them in gravel gardens
Your videos are so beautiful. Honestly they give you a sense of peace because you’re transported to another place.
Lydia, this vlog is one of the best I have ever seen. It felt as if we were there with you. You described everything in such details. It was a long vlog, but did not feel like it because it was so interesting. I am really looking forward to see the second part!
I’m so glad! I know they have been quite mammoth the vlogs recently it’s because I just enjoy vlogging so much again x
@@lydiamillen I absolutely love your longer blogs! 💕
Living in Shetland it is cold and windy all year round...we're lucky if it reaches 15⁰c in summer! X
Lydia- Thank you so much for an incredible video, and for taking us with you on your journey to the Loir Valley. I have been there and thought deeply about retiring there. Thank you.
What a stunning vlog Lydia I really enjoyed all the different château’s xx
Thank you for working so hard on this! It was incredible footage!
Your garden looks beautiful, your dresses looked great and the destination in France was just the cherry on top! Wowsers! I want to go there this instant!! Thank you for sharing that with us. I'm inspired!
I was that absorbed in the vlog, feeling as though as I was in Paris with you, that I lent forward to smell the perfume that you sprayed. So wished you tube had smellovision. This by far, is my favourite vlog that you have done Lydia, thank you for taking the time to show us all of the details, the château’s are absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this. This so reminded me of a summer spent in the Loire valley - we stayed in a lovely little gîte. We finished up in Paris for a few days. I remember finding out that Chateau de Chenonceau was used as an escape route during WW2, as one side of the river was in occupied France and the other side wasn't.
I love watching your vlogs! I want to go to France even more after watching this vlog! I will also be planting some wildflower seeds soon! Hopefully today :) I hope you have a great rest of your day!
Lydia I have watched all your videos since Covid and must tell you that this one was exceptional, the photography with all the beauty. Even your dresses matched the settings perfectly.👌😍
I smiled all the way through this video as I related to the excitement in your voice the places you went to all looked amazing xx
Thanks Lydia for pretty much being one of the vlogers I depend on to get your content out when you say you will. It was the 4th of July in the US and you still produced. I have been sick in the house with covid and some other stuff. What a great pleasure to see you posted. So thanks for that. I really needed that vlog. Hopefully your still enjoying your weather.
Dunno whar 4th kd july has wirh british person doing their job
It is a such lovely vlog Lydia! The pictures are wonderful and the way you are and the way you explain slowly with emotion and authenticity are amazing. Thanks for this beautiful moment. xoxo axelle🌼
Your vlog is phenomenal Lydia! It has truly been a wonderful experience feeling as though we are there in France 🇫🇷 with you. The epitome of an exceptional tour guide.
Thank You Garden 🪴 Goddess 🤍👸🏻
This was such a beautiful vlog. I imagine the perfume smells amazing and the location looked stunning 😍
Oh Lydia, I absolutely loved this video. I toured the Loire Valley and visited many of the chateaus when I was in my 20's. I just loved it. I remember especially the chateau over the river which you said was privately owned by famous French chocolate makers. I had no idea, I thought it was a museum. We also went to a winery and toured the champagne makers, I remember buying my first bottle of champagne there and bringing it home. I was especially impressed with Fouquet's chateau Vaux-Le-Vicomte, not sure you went there (interesting story behind that one!). The food and your hotel there looked fabulous. I actually thought the 4 men singing at the end were going to break out in a Beach Boy song. But that would be strange. Many of the garden inspirations for French garden design came from Italian Maria De Medici and the Italian formal garden style. Thank you for this video, sweetie. I love the same things you do and I miss my animals when I am away, too.
Magnifique!!!! Thanks for the visit... I enjoyed it very much!! You should definitely buy a castle and renovate it....I am sure it will be amazingly and perfectly decorated !!!
😍🏰😍
Lydia this was absolutely amazing. Loved the way you showed everywhere you went. What a gorgeous place. Loved your green dress you looked so stunning. Beautiful vlog thank you so much for sharing Lydia. 💜💜💙
Just tuned in and we cannot wait to tag along with you to France..... Lydia would it not be AMAZING to get a property in France..... more affordable outside the popular spots of course!!!
Absolutely beautiful vlog‼️ Lydia and Ali traveling....my favorite ‼️
Exactly 3 weeks i will be doing exactly the same trip in france(paris and loire valley)ii planned the trip since may! Hopefully i will get to see some interesting places to eat to shop etc through this vlog!
I watched this before I started planning my trip to the Loire - thanks Lydia your vlog was so inspirational. I managed to visit all 3 chateaux you included here as well as many others because I had set aside 10 days for this area of France. I think one of my most favourite memories of this trip was walking under the grapevine colonnades at Villandry 🏰 tasting the various grape varieties 🍇
Amazon reviews are saying most of the dresses lydia is recommending are cheap quality. Is this true? Anyone tried them?
This video is perfection, as always. Your lifestyle inspires me so much. I do travel in dresses and cardigans, just like you. I can’t stand travelling like I just got out of bed. I grew up in the South of France and I always wanted to visit the Loire Valley but never had a chance. It’s definitely on my bucket list. I don’t like mainstream perfumes, so L’Artisan Parfumeur is a good discovery! i would love to smell them.
I loved this Chateau tour, Lydia! Well done!
Thank you for taking us along 🥰
Gorgeous video Lydia. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Fabulous content as always x
It just keeps getting better! You are a ray of sunshine, truly! It is such a joy to go on these breathtaking adventures with you. To watch, learn, grow and be inspired by the glorious life you are cultivating with Ali. All I can say is, you’re amazing. You deserve every little bit of joy and happiness. You’ve worked so hard to earn it and all I can say is… bring on more! Love you girl! Rach 💕🌸💕🌸💕🌸😘😘😘
Such a lovely vlog! So much inspiration. Thank you!
Lydia - you are literally one of my absolute fave creators BUT the length of the videos makes me want to weep! Exam in 20 days but I’ve got 5 videos to catch up on. 😭😭😭😭
Oh Lydia. Three years since Lynx has been lost. I'll always remember because I was about to pop with my daughter Nora and I was on maternity leave before she was born. And every day I'd check in to see if Lynx was found. I'm not really a cat person but I know how much you loved that cat. No one can say you didn't do everything in your power to find him. I'm glad you're finding little hints of Lynx in Barkley. That's so wonderful.
Thank you so much for taking us with you on this amazing trip to France. I will probably never get there, but seeing it through your eyes has really been wonderful.
This video makes me want to go spend time in France and visit all those beautiful castles 💕thanks so much for this vlog Lydia, well done ! Love , Sil x
This is so much fun Lydia! Thanks for letting us tag along!!!
So, as someone who follows a lot of Chateau owners here on YT, I would recommend Stephanie who owns Chateau de LaLande. Her channel is "Chateau Diaries" and she is the loveliest person. It's like a comfort channel for me and I often binge watch her videos when stressed. She is also very knowledgeable and , when she visited the second chateau you visited, she did a lovely vlog where she shared lots of historical facts, stories and general info.
Omg! I ordered that green maxi dress from Anne Louise Boutique back in May! It's such a fun dress and dang I got so many compliments on it at work - somehow especially from the guys hahhahaaa
I've bee watching you on and off since 2017 so finally owning something you have as well is really cool ❤️
I love Paris/France, thanks for taking us with you. I really thought you were house hunting for yourself! 😤 x
Thank you for de Chenonceau, Lydia!
It's on my list to still see, but already among favourites based on what I've seen and know about it. I agree with you, it's best to take the full day to explore each château, otherwise you feel rushed 🌞
I'm hoping to move soon and I need some cutlery/silverware and some new plates. This video has taught me that I need to go to France for those plates and cutlery! Every time I see a video there, the plates, home decoration and everything look like an absolute dream! Time to get on the Eurostar, I guess.
As usual a most enjoyable video x Lynx will always be a big part of your life, I know Jess and Bev are to use after 15 years. Looking forward to your next adventure xx 💕💕
Dear Lydia, your hair always looks so stunning❤️ Greetings from Lithuania🤗
I absolutely loved watching this video/vlog! Thank You!
Eine der schönsten Vlogs überhaupt! Wunderbar die Parfüms von Lartisan Pafumeur! Bin durch Dich darauf gekommen.
Es wird immer schöner, von Vlog zu Vlog 🙏🏻
Lydia - you’re an absolute breath of fresh air. You’re so inspiring to listen to and I look forward to your vlogs weekly. Thank you for being you 🌸
Thank you so much I so glad you enjoy what I’m doing x
The vlog was amazing!!😍😍😍😍
haven't seen you this giddy in a while ! what a treat !!
Omg! So much Monty Don vibes! He toured the 2nd château with the water, I believe. Anyway, absolutely inspired to add plants to my garden. Thank you!
Well, what a fabulous vlog Lydia, love it all, thanks for sharing ✌️😘
Château de Chenonceau definitely is a princess castle. It is stunning in winter, the galerie is full of Christmas trees and looks breathtakingly beautiful ❤️ The kitchen is incredible and well worth a visit!!!
While Chenonceau is certainly worthy of a princess, I believe it was actually Chateau d'Usse where Sleeping Beauty was written (and presumably inspired). I'd love to see it in winter!
@@ellengross1027 You’re right! I was sure the guide told us that at Chenonceau, but will definitely have to visit Ussé now! Thanks ☺️
An absolutely fabulous Vlog - thank you!
Omg just so beautiful thank u so much for sharing the gardens wow
hi lydia i think this has to be the most beautifull vlog i have seen so much joy xxxxx
Thanks Lydia! What an enjoyable video. Love everything about it. From your clothes 👚 and the different places you visited. Wao!
Your garden looks amazing and love the olive dress.
Just lovely Lydia ❣️ Thank you for sharing your trip ❣️ What a beautiful experience ❣️
OMG. Paris AND the Loire valley AND chateaux?!? Please make sure it’s a long blog ❤️❤️❤️. My husband and i toured the LV in 2015. It was a dream trip come true. We drove all over. So much fun
Thank you for taking us along. It was gorgeous. We are having The World Games in Birmingham, AL. It's wonderful to have over 100 different countries visiting.
Lovely! Thank you for the beautiful travel vlog!
This has been a magnificent video. Very well done to you both.
Such a beautiful vlog Lydia and Ali 💕
Hi Lyds! The drawers aren't apothecary drawers, they are actually botany drawers for museum collections etc 🌱
green dress is stunning on you, beautiful vlog Lydia thank you
brillant video. Felt like we were there with you. such a marvelous trip.xx
I believe that the purple plant with the lavender is what we call “Russian Sage”. The plant attracts bees like crazy, so I would never plant it near a patio or home entrance, but it is very beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your trip. So amazing.
What a relaxing vlog. Such nice places and experiences.
Congratulations on a wonderful video. Completely agree with so many other comments, it is so lovely to see you a happier, more mature, person. I left you for quite a while, but am glad I have come back. You have definitely found a groove that brings out the best in you, and I have no aspirations to emulate your life, but I find your videos uplifting and interesting. May you always find your happy place.❤️
Loved your adventure in France!
Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog, so lovely and interesting, thankyou
I am the same as you, I can’t stop saying wow, those chateaus are just beautiful. I want to go there too.
