So come join Tracy and I Budo on this amazing journey and way of living.

Thanks so much 😊it is all very exciting for us have a Bon weekend and thank you for watching xx
The plaster work is fabulous and the lavender is looking lovely. Your red box bees look more like our American honey bees, which are smaller than your black ones and more yellow.
Thank you Rainbow i didn't know that about American Bees Italian bees are the same too in the UK we have these slightly bigger dark bees which are wild bees if you like which are much more resilient to pests and diseases there the ones i prefer all the best Budo
Yet again such skill Budo,I love it. Great to see the bees doing well. Bug hugs to you both
Thank you Bon weekend 😍
The porch is lovely ❤
Thank you 🙏 xx
Budo, you do such extraordinary work. Always just top notch and very bespoke looking. The front porch is looking beautiful and Tracey your lavender is gorgeous. You both work so hard. It is really making the place begin to shine. I have to tell you, however, I got quite a chuckle when I first glanced at Tracey in the field and saw the other person with her I thought it was a man with bagpipes and I actually said out loud to myself, “hummm, wonder if that’s an old French/English/Scottish tradition for making the harvest more plentiful!” I laughed out loud when I realized my 80 year old eyes had mistaken a man with a large camera for bagpipes…oh, my … still enjoying and watching from PA, USA.
Oh Paula we are still laughing we love your comment 😂😅and thank you for watching and we are glad you enjoyed it. Bon weekend to you 😍xx
Budo, the porch looks great.
Bees, bees, and more bees are good news.
Merci beaucoup 😊 great news for the homestead. Bon weekend to you xx
Beautiful video guys
Thank you Michelle you are welcome xx
Beautiful to see another vlog, of your incredible renovations Tracey and Budo! The land is looking so healthy, the willow sticks you planted are ginormous again this summer and the lavender cuttings being planted out! Lots and lots of hard work, with awesome results, thank you so, so much. 🙏👍🫶😎
Thank you for watching and your wonderful comment have a great weekend ❤
The outside of the patio looks wonderful Budo! Thank you for showing us how we too, can do this!
Thank you so much have a great weekend😍
lol! Budo your humor is hilarious! Bodies, lime and pigs 😂 … the simplistic of tools make the finished look like a million! Not to mention your skills are top notch. Good to see you both this week.
Thank you Cathleen glad you enjoyed the video xx
Fantastic as always!
Thank you Bernice bon weekend to you 😻🙏🏻
The porch looks great. And the lavender one of my favourite plants is beautiful I can just imagine the wonderful fragrance you will have, wafting across your land. 👍👍👍
Thank you Pam 🙏😍and the smell now is phenomenal and it is so beautiful to look at when you drive past xxx
superbe, un véritable artiste
Merci beaucoup et bon week-end 😍
Always good to see your gifted hands at work, Budo. News of the bees' prospering in hive one and a new group in hive two always fascinating, thank you.
Thank you Jeanette 😍
The beading looks stunning Budo, great job and great vlog. Stay well.
Thank you and a Bon weekend to you 😍
the bead work looks very nice guys , so nice how you explain how to do it , thx🥰 the bees 🤩 all the best Yves
Thanks so much 😊 Bon weekend to you both
I grew up in California's Central Valley surrounded by almond orchards. Every year the beekeepers would deliver their boxes to the orchards and later sell their fresh, local honey at the farmer's market. Wonderful to see you keeping bees. The plaster panels on the porch are perfect. I'm intrigued to see what you'll eventually do for your entry step(s). You're both so creative and talented. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you for sharing this with us sounds wonderful and thank you for watching ❤xx
Everything looks fabulous! You do such an awesome job, so very talented. I can't believe how fast the lavender field has grown in just one season! You guys sure have the magic touch. The bees are so awesome, you are doing such a wonderful job for the environment, the bees are so important ! Congratulations on the getting selected by the television show. Budo will be able to inspire so many more people, and teach his special skills, what an honor. You are both such an inspiration. Thank you for continuing to put a show up, I know it is a lot of work for you. Blessings to you both
Wow Cathy we are so touched by your comment thank you so much and a Bon dimanche to you ❤️❤️xxx
The porch facade is looking superb 😊 loved the music and deer 😊
Thank you so much 😊so glad you enjoyed xx
I just love what you've done to the porch. Nice job!
Thank you! Bon weekend to you 😍
Your a talented man Budo. A real artist. You take such pride in your work. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you how lovely Bon weekend to you ❤
Great Video, as always. The Lime plaster job looks beautiful. Have to say the BEES are really something special since we keep hearing the world is short on Bees. You certainly are doing your part to put that rumor to rest. More Lavender !! How spectacular it looks. Hope you can keep those pesky Deer from your garden, they can be a menace!
Have a great weekend.!!😊
Hi Sue its a big lie with the bees there are plenty in the wild its just judged by all the people who keep bees but end up killing them with bad management then blame every thing else i.e. global warming or varroa or colony collapse its the way of the world now unfortunately any way glad you enjoyed the video all the best Budo xx
Porch looks wonderful. It also keeps in character with the original facade.
Thank you exactly what we said as well xx
It is nice to see your channel is growing. 😊
Thank you Janet we wish it was xx
I love the design on the front/sides of the porch, beautiful. And it doesn't compete with those wonderful windows.
We agree! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Love the raised panels well done budo ,tracey planting the lavender such hard worksthe both of you
Thank you glad you enjoyed did Bon weekend to you 😍
absolutely fascinating to see all the work you are both doing and the skills you have - the lavender garden, the decoration on the outside of the front porch and the information about the bees- unreal xxx
Thank you so much such a lovely comment Bon weekend to you 😍xx
Brilliant plaster work on the porch Budo such skill. Great team work in house and garden. The lavender honey will taste so good.
Thank you Phil buddy 👍🏻
That was just wonderful, thank you.
Thank you Luminya 😍 have a lovely day xx
Wonderful work and dry comments. Made me laugh
Glad you enjoyed it Jean xx
Amazing work on the porch. I hope the TV people are able to include all the many past jaw dropping events such as fitting the giant oak beam with your son, making the sash windows finding the old writing on the beam in the barn, Tracy's transformation of the bedroom and building the kitchen roof without using modern measuring methods. I'd be here forever if I had to name all the awe inspiring jobs that have been done. I love the very British word 'tittifating' [adding fancy detail] quite different from 'titillating' which has a mild sexual content 😅😊.And I love Budo's little quip about the other things lime is good for.🤣. The nod to humour shows both of your strength of character. Great to see the bee's.
Thank you Sindy and we always love your kind comments and loyalty to our channel and we are so glad you are enjoying our journey and have been there all the way xx all the best Budo
How lucky are you to have deer in garden-so jealous❤
Thank you we do like waking up in the morning and watching them with a nice cup of tea xx
What a beautiful home you’re creating, really enjoying your channel.
Thank you Vickie glad you are enjoying our journey xx
Looking 👍
thank you
Wonderful to see the deer on your property. I hope your veggie patch is fully fenced off. The porch is no ordinary one. Your skills are above and beyond Budo. Beautiful skills thank you. Wow! I can imagine the honey will be glorious. Interesting to watch the bees and you explaining a few things about them.
Thank you 🙏 yes there is a barrier on the potager and on around the trees in our orchard as well. Thank you for watching Bon dimanche xx
Fantastic job Budo. Love your work a great craftsman
Thank you so much Judith you will be on the coffee fence in next weeks video so don’t forget to put your notification on. Bon weekend xx

Doesn't that look great wow Budo man of make talents Nice to see you both 10K wow congrats!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Valarie x
Wonderfull craftsmanship on the porch facade. Really inspiring to see how the tools do the job. We also have found a beehive on the old attic we want to bring to life in the garden, probably next year. So nice to see the bees working. Also love the lavender fields, must smell really nice and calm in the garden 🙂
Thank you guys so glad you are enjoying our journey to and on your bees try and get a bee keeper to mentor you as if you are new to bee keeping they can be dangerous have you guys a UA-cam channel if so let us know and we're in france 🇫🇷 are you all the best Budo 👍🏻
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries Sure we will first ask a friend of ours that keeps bees to tell us all the details 😊 We have found an old beehive on our attic and want to restore it. We will see how it goes.
and we live in central France in le Berry province. All the best!
You can tell you are a professional. What beautiful work you do. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Thank you so much Jackie bless you and your great country Budo xx
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries thank you for the blessing, same to you both ❤️🙏
Beautiful work on the porch! As always Budo 😊 and I giggled when Budo had to stop for a second before uttering the word « mural ». 😂 Budo, you’ll never live that one down. It was exciting to see glimpses of the camera people filming you as you work. And 👍🏻 on your 10K subscribers. Had to put my comment in. Now, back to viewing the rest of the video. Cheers from sunny and muggy Ottawa Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you once again for your wonderful comment Rita ❤l just can’t help it now it makes me chuckle 😅Bon weekend to you xx
I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. I love the vestibule very practical. I had one in my house in Toronto. It was so practical specially with all the rain and snow we get in Canada.
How lovely thank you for watching have a great weekend ❤xx
You two are so talented.
Thank you so much ☺️ xx
The progress is fantastic, I enjoy your vlogs so much. The Lavender field is looking amazing, well done to you both x
Thank you so much ☺️ Bon weekend to you 😍
Budo, you need a nice hat to work in outside.
Thank you Angel you are so right i must get one on me head i forget as my mind is in over load some times xx
My grandfather used to make a varnish from the bee propolis. I believe it was dissolved in 2 parts propolis to one part ethanol. He used it for boat oars he made.
Hi yes this is an old recipe they would also add to that some shellac makes a very good water proofing but at the same time lets say you used spruce or larch even ash wood it would let the wood breath there for last a long time all the best Budo
10k !!!! Congrats guys. You are both amazing.
Thank you kindly Sandra 🙏 xx
Looking forward to it. Congratulations on reaching 10k you deserve more
@@judithwilson4383Thank you so much Judith ❤xx
Love the beading on the porch, it’s fabulous and I agree with you to keep it plain. Wonderful planting Tracy, it sounded very windy there , crazy summer weather isn’t it? 🐝
Thank you Nannie G ❤yes it was it was pouring down with rain but warm then very windy but the mics the to company use are great ❤xx
So enjoyed todays episode, thanks for sharing. Sincerely in San Diego California
Thank you Phyllis have a Bon weekend ❤
Thank you Phyllis have a Bon weekend ❤
Good job both of you!
Thank you 🙏
Fascinating about the bees mate, I’ve never tried honey from a local hive
well i would say Darren you have been missing out on natures nectar buddy find a local bee keeper and get some you can use it to sweeten your coffee or tea put it on your cereal and many other things but most of all it will help you with hay fever and build your immune system too an all around wonderful produce also get a hive in your wood land buddy all the best Budo
Great vlog, I love bees and your bee boxes look fab!
Thanks so much! Glad you do. Bon weekend to you 😍
14:48 this addition is so cottage! Nice job... Can't wait to see the kitchen walls up.
Please wear head coverings working in the sun you two. Or at least something to screen the sun. ❤❤
Thank you glad you enjoyed and thank you for the advice 😍
Another very enjoyable video. Filled with variety & fun along the way. I've always wondered how you do things & like the way you teach us all in such a thorough way. The lavender looks amazing & learning about the bees was awesome. I loved how you could get so close to the bees, like they trust you & know you are giving them a home. Beautiful music choice. Looking forward to your next video.
Awesome, thank you! You are so kind thank you for watching 😍xxx
Budo and Tracey, Sorry missed the Premier I was outside scrubbing trying to get moss off and forgot the time as I still had good daylight so I kept working. Oh what a great vlog, loved every minute of it and again learnt so much. Budo you could make a few of your tools up and put them for sale in Tracys Etsy shop. I would buy one and I know others would. I have to admit I am feeling my age tonight, I am so stiff after a very hard days work. Well done to you both, you are such a joy to watch, its both educational and entertaining, Cheers from Plessala.🙂❤👩
Good idea Kim while it is still light there is always something to do and it is good to keep busy. We are so glad you enjoyed and we hope you have a bon weekend 😻🙏🏻xx
Wow you are both so clever ♥️ such good team work love watching ur channel xxxx
Thank you so glad you do 😍Bon weekend xx
Thank you so much 🤗Bon weekend to you 😍
CONGRATULATIONS on your 10K. Yay!!! The porch looks good. A few more hives and you could eventually sell some honey? Lavender honey?? Good work, well done. Love your vlogs. Hugs. :)
Thank you its great news 😻🙏🏻so glad you do thank you for watching and a bon weekend to you.😻
Really impressed with the render/stucco details that make the workmanship stand out! Somehow I missed earlier videos but will look back to see what you have done on the kitchen. Marvelous progress. More power!
Glad you like them! Thank you for watching 😍xxx
I saw a camera person. 😊
Yes you did Sally we are being filmed for a tv show 😍thank you for watching xxx
beautifull! wel done ! i'll have a try on my walls now haha
Thank you you are welcome 😊
👏👏
I’m a nurse you should not be around them sleeveless. That’s a recipe for disaster. You do great work Budo it would be terrible for something bad to happen because of bee stings. You can have anaphylaxis even if you have been stung before and had minimal or no reaction, please be careful….
Hi Kim thank you for your concern and you are right more care but I have been stung so many times in the past even multiple times in one go I have minimal reaction to the stings at the moment but will take note all the best Budo xx
Budo, ik vond al je hout en timmerwerk prachtig en zag jouw meesterschap in dat.
Maar vandaag zag ik wat je deed met de lime. Ook dat vond ik prachtig!
Je eerste fleur-de-lis vond ik niet zo heel mooi,dus nu hoop ik dat de tweede mooier uitpakt.
Thank you so glad you enjoyed and thank you for watching 😍
So Tracey did you plan to match your t shirt to the plant pots? Lol😊
This did make us laugh 😂 Budo said l blend in with the Lavender 😍Bon weekend
So excited for you both!
Also, not sure if you said what tv show or channel you are being filmed for but could you post it?
Thank you for watching Jamie ❤we cannot say until the to programme airs on TV xxx
It’s nice to see you raising bees rather than installing bee traps like some do, then wonder why veggies and fruits are so expensive
Thank you great way of looking at it 😍Bon weekend
Hi Budo and Tracy. Two things. I noticed that on the bottom left corner of the windowsill it looked like some rainwater staining or is it my eyesight? I thought the oil you used on the frame protected the oak from that. Am I right in assuming that the two bee colonies don't mix? ( Cross breading.) Great work as usual. I can't wait for you to start on the workshop build. Love a well planned and organized workshop. (Man cave.)
.
Hi Kenneth that what you see there is the timber was green when I built it and the water is trying to get out we hope the whole of the porch goes that colour in the end looking more natural on the bees they do interbreed when the maiden queen takes flight with drones from the other colony all the best Budo 👍🏻
sorry if I am asking a question you have already answered .. who is the young woman videographer? Are we going to see you on TV as well as you tube?
Video and your skills and artistry should be shared with the nation as you level of technique needs to be learnt by others to ensure heritage skills are not lost.😊
Hi Andrew yes we will be on a new series on a uk main stream TV next year some time buddy 😀 😉
When are you going to offer Tshirts with Budos Bees on the front 🙂
Good idea thank you 🙏 enjoy your day xx
Plasters Small Tool
Thank you John we think an artist palette knife 😍
I cannot quit seeing Budos exposed head, ears and face in the sun. Please protect those areas so you do not end up with skin cancer in ten years.
well i do put on factor 50 every two hours but still burn maybe i should only work at nights LOL
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries Just a hat would help, one that shades your ears.
@@vickihansen1937 Yes i will from now on thank you x
Creating the panels is interesting, sready hand!
Bon soir, Guten Abend,
the plaster work you did Budo(amazing) you could do with any other material? And from where do you get the tools?
Hi There i made the beading tool my self as you can't buy them the other tool is an artists trowel im not sure you could do this with standard plaster i used lime putty i made in another video 6 months ago with a washed fine sharp sand which i sieved this stile of plaster work is common in Suffolk England called pargetting all the best Budo
