  • Anna has had Donkeys in the past, she loves their personality and affection. Over the last week or so, we have heard the constant calling of a donkey from somewhere around us; we set out to see if we can find and check in on him, a welfare check really, and as we do so, happen on a beautiful Chateau, which is now a renovation project!
    We end our trip out with a strong café cream!

    Please donkeys need a companion, horse, goat , donkey. Plus coats aren’t waterproof so need shelter

    Such a sweet video searching for the donkey. I rescued a donkey many years ago by walking in the nearby woods shaking a bucket filled with some feed and carrots. He was called moonlight and his companion Agatha! We had them with us for many years. He had been left behind when a family had to move. Have a lovely weekend.

    Please, please, please, two donkeys together. They get incredibly lonely and depressed if they are alone and need another donkey with them, they are herd animals. Their coats are not waterproof and they need easy access to shelter. We have had donkeys for years and know that they are the most intelligent and loving animals…but…never let them learn bad habits. Treats are only for when they achieve something willingly and receive lots of praise…like lifting their hooves for cleaning, or accepting a head collar for example. If treats are given without reason, they will become nappy and you don’t want that. There is a great donkey sanctuary in the Dordogne called Heehaws, they always have donkey pairs looking for a loving home.

    Fascinating story about the chateau y’all found! I agree about those towers, my son is a lineman and he climbs t(EMS to repair them all the time. He’s even worked in the mountains where he’s been flown in hanging from a rope to fix a tower line! Ugh,makes a momma old quick, but my youngest is a special ops marine! I guess I made them too tough as a single mom! Lol hugs and love y’all! From Texas!

We in the states have had been inundated with never ending rain as well. I feel a bit water logged. Enough already! Love your videos see you soon.

    Anna, I am sure, is an animal whisperer. Thanks for showing the chateau. Interesting history. I agree that it would be costly to keep heated and maintained.❤

    No donkey found today but keep after it...he/she is out there somewhere! What a stunning chateau being renovated! That crane....a great way to proceed but the expense!!! One of the things I love about France is that you can literally drive around a bend in the road and a stunning chateau or ruin will just appear......almost like magic. I never tire of just finding these beautifies whispering to me to "come have a look and dream a little!" I SO enjoy these treasure hunts with you and Anna! I found an amazing chateau on a high hill on my way to lunch with you and Anna last fall. I think you should pack a picnic and make a day trip there soon as it is truly charming. Plus, I found in the same general area a local fois gras business.....only open one afternoon a week but proud of myself for hunting it down after just seeing a small sign on the highway. Sending along the exact locations for your future adventures! Cheers!

    Great to see you, Miss Anna! ❣I wonder if the donkey was sleeping when you two tried to find him during the day because he was obviously up at night concerning Anna. 🤍I always love it when you guys show and talk about architecture style and eras. Fascinating! 🤍Reading the comments, I'd love to know the tale of how Peter & Anna met! 🥰Was it on the dance floor or shopping for 1940's attire? 💃💞🕺You could make a silent film telling the story! 🎥

    I’m still interested (or nosey really 🙂), to how in the end Anna met you. ………… just by thumbing through the items on UA-cam several months ago-I came across Anna’s story from a local news channel in Yorkshire. I must say that I was in awe and amazed of the way she had chosen to live her life in her house. I remember her saying it was difficult to find someone to share her life with the love of old 1930/40s items and ways.
    So how did Anna find Peter 🙂

    • @Louisefenner
      @Louisefenner Місяць тому +2

      @@Louisefenner ………. That’s a totally different thing……… I didn’t ask anything of that nature, all I asked was ‘How did they find each other’.
      Yes my question is a nosey one and possibly they don’t want to answer and that’s fine, but it was only because I recognised Anna, on a local news programme in a town in Yorkshire.

    Maybe you can interview them Peter and Anna once they are done renovation if they are willing would love to see the finish. Sorry you didn't find Eeyore :( maybe someone was playing that video on their phone ;) I am the same would rather have a cottage or a manor home much easier to keep and maintain. Glad to see you two out and about again. That cat didn't look well I hope it belongs to someone seems friendly. The cafe is nice did they have a full menu?

    How odd, do donkeys call constantly? Wondering if someone, somewhere is winding you up. Given that the you tube video sound you played of the distressed donkey is super realistic, could it actually be a prankster instead?, someone very close to home perhaps.....
