The way you approach each project on both of your channels are a revelation. From all the details and history, to the tasks you do together as a family, make this a favorite of mine! ❤️🙏 Just fab!
Thank you very much - it’s so kind of you to say so!
Lovely also to see the highland cattle again. The friendship between them and the pig is wonderful to behold! This video was really special with the various projects you showed us and the dramatic story of the near tragedy.
Both of you channels have improved greatly ! I love them both so much and I’ve learned so much from you ! bravo !
We pay somebody to film and edit now! I just didn’t have time with all the work, and little kids. Hopefully the channels will start to make money so we can afford to keep going!
Glad to see the cows are happy and safe! 🥰
The blue is very soothing loved how the cows and pig get along i love highland cows all the best ❤😊 margo is a wonderfull companion part of the family 🎉😊❤
I really like the blue for the color of the wall. I guess it just reminds me of the color of the sky. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
It will dry a little lighter but it's so pretty as it is, I agree!
Excitingly close and I’m loving he fact you will soon be living in the coach house ❤
Hopefully!
You two are amazing! You compliment each other so well.😊
Thank you!
I’m old enough to remember when we had a blue bag (a small solid chunk of blue in a small cloth bag) in the laundry. It was dissolved in the final rinse. This was before we had an automatic washing machine. I can also remember a TV ad for washing powder that went “the blue beads bleach and whiten, the white beads clean and brighten”. It’s funny how such old memories popped into my head when Amy mentioned blue in relation to laundry.
Now I wish in addition to the “Like” button there was a “really like” button 😊
You’re very kind. Thank you!
Amy I have been watching a very long tome. You have always had amazing vlogs.i am excited to see your greenhouse and all the plants! I love the color and the brightness.
You’re very kind, thank you. And thank you for sticking with us!
The history of this buildings is never ending and amazing.
So glad you enjoy hearing about it!
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres I do. I love old buildings. The older the better. The story the men that lived in the chateau told you was very scary and thanks God his sister survived. What and amazing opportunity to know him! That is once in a lifetime opportunity.
Great job love the colours you have chosen pale blue and white nice, I enjoyed watching the little piggy with the cows so funny no-one wants my bread😂, greenhouse coming on nicely.take care see you both next time 💕🤗
Great footage of the animals and the plastering and painting; I think the pale blue and the whitewashed ceiling is an excellent combination!
Thank you!
Your pig's attraction to the Highland "coos" mirrors the escaped pig from The Pethericks that was found socializing with the neighbor's cows. As commenters there noted, pigs are very social creatures and will seek out companions if they don't live with other pigs. But you probably know that. :D
Yep. Marc's a proper, trained, registered farmer :-) The only reason our pig is alone is that he's a rescue pig and we weren't set up for more when we unexpectedly took him in. We had another, but he escaped and never came back. We'll sort the pig situation as soon as we can!
super narrative, closeups and editing!
Love Marcs little puns 😁 great sence of humour Marc .I remember my nan using the blue blocks in her washing . Can wait untill we see the finished glass house ,plus the other glasshouse Marc has 😍
Such fun with the cows and pig. Caring for the walls was a lot of work. Blue walls are becoming a pretty blue.
The blue is really nice, oh I did not know colour makes a difference with the plants,
Always happy to watch your vlog.
I do laugh at Marc.. he is funny and he also got good a cheeky smile sometimes
Love the blue color ❤❤❤❤❤It’s amazing how much brighter it looks. Well done 🎊🎉😍😘
The piggy thinks he’s a cow! They are all so beautiful. The blue looks good and there’s a scientific reason for the color. Great job. The project is so exciting. xx
Always wearing safety gear, well done 👍
Should have had glasses too but couldn’t find them. Had itchy eyes as it was a windy day!
It’s great to see so many exciting things happening! Thanks for sharing... ✨🌞✨
Thanks for watching!
Fascinating about the colours. Love piggy with the cattle❤️
I truly did like it. The blue was very nice. I’m sure the plants will absolutely love love it Marc! Very humorous with moving the cows & Piggy. You’ll look back in the future of a mass chaos with young kids, a dog underfoot. The neighbors drop in the room being plastered as amusing times and times you cherish.❤😊❤ Thank you for sharing your achievements, big and small!
Great, but very scary story about ice in pond - still happens too often in North America! Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊
John Ken
It still gives me chills when I’m in there sometimes. We’re so careful with fencing off water here!
The blue looks great and the plants will be so happy!
You guys and your animals ! 💗 The pig loves the cows ! 😊👍. Love your progress on the greenhouse project !
Really interesting video, I really like the blue wall. Have a lovely weekend too xx
Thank you Janet!
I have a dear frient SW of Toulouse who has two highlanders. They had a 3rd but she crossed the bridge 2 years ago. Truly magnificent cows. One of theirs escaped a few years back and was found 2 miles away grazing a few days later. Thank you for this most enjoyable video.
That pig is so cute. I really hope he is a pet not being fattend up to eat. Him and the cows though, so lovely.The work you both do is incredible, even more so as you have young children.
The story with the accident on the frozen pond is really dramatic!
The plastered wall looks great, perfect colour!
Are you planning to do subsequent layers of lime wash on the ceiling?
Yes we’re definitely going to add more lime wash. It was a bit tricky that day for many reasons but we’ve got ideas!
I am so excited for the greenhouse and all your projects you are doing. Amazing progress.
Thanks so much!
Like the way your sweater matches your wall
So many people are commenting on that! I love this sweater and wear it all the time 😊
It's progressing well!
Wow, you blew my mind with your talk about plants, light and colour. Never knew that :)
Love the light blue. Alot of work well done & carefully chosen.
Marc knows his greenery! 👍👏👏❤
Very nice love the colour, very close to our master bedroom.greetings from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
That's cool!
Aw I love the cows & pig. 🐷🐄🐮
love the blue plaster.
Thank you!
How could we not like sharing your inspiring adventures 😍
Great vlog, lovely to see Marc’s hamsters, they are so cute. Love do you all K🇬🇧❤️❤️
They’re so cute! Thanks for watching 😊
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres ❤️❤️
I was wondering how I missed seeing the “hamsters” and then I remembered what cheeky Marc had called their cows when he was going to pick them up 🤣
@@judymossip7446 😂😂
Looking good, steady progress within a meaningful project.
Thank you! Yes it’s a labour of love, but what a labour!
Love the highland cows and piggy. The blue plaster looks great there. The plants will be happy. ❤
Love the colour! Well done
Bonsoir de la Belgique .
j'espère ne pas ètre le seul francophone sur cette chaine ?
je trouve très attachant de voir vos animaux si heureux de gambader ca et la .😍😍
longue et grande vie a votre chaine .

Le Québec est représenté ici 👍
Bonsoir les francophones 😊
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres Bien le bonjour . Merci :)
@@denyseleonard240 Bonjour . Heureux de voir cette mixité :)
I had to do the family laundry. We had a maytag wringer washer and a double cancrete tub. With 10 in the family there were a lot of white shirts. I used a blueing agent, and spray starch when ironing. That was in the 60's. The wet dog sounds like fun. As the cistern is partially under ground the wall will be damp taking longer to dry. They maid milk paint. The chipmunks seem to enjoy their new pet.
That blue is beautiful !
Came for the glasshouse renovation... fell in love with the 'coos' 😍
Ha ha I love that! Reckon you’re going to like the next glasshouse even better…
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres Well hurry up!! 😂😂😂 I’m dying to see it!!!
You two are just incredible! From milking cows to rebuilding everything in a huge chateau, with children too! Love your enthusiasm
And authentic lifestyle! ❤😊
Just a loverly Intresting video 🤗👍💐🤗👍
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
I loved this video! I'm glad to see the cows and piggie have fallen in like with each other. The garden building looks beautiful. Blue is a very appropriate colour for a former cistern and much more calming and cool than white. I'm looking forward to the next development. Thank you for sharing your life with us!! I love how you both banter. It's so nice to see.
BEST TO YOU
Another great video. Loved watching you move the stubborn cows and the friendship piggies has for them. Really interested to hear about the colour choice, which looks beautiful and lightened the space so much. You are great custodians for this beautiful estate. ❤
the wall looks great! It is so much brighter
You have very lovely camera & color settings as well as B-roll. An addition pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you.
Thank you! It’s our videographer Adonis who films us now! He’s great.
Hola from Honduras! Great progress on the greenhouse! Mr. Pig looks so happy with his buddies! 😁
Thank you!
Love the blue. Since it use to contain water being blue like water works 😊
It is 33˚C/92˚F here today....tee shirt weather. I think you are correct in your thinking that the pond may have been enclosed in response to the near drowning of their child. And, in the not too distant time of old, gray haired ladies would 'blue' their hair for the same reason.
You guys are such naturals!!😅🤣 so funny and brilliant ❤🤩 it’s amazing all Mark can do👏👏😅🙏🙏❤️
Love you all and it’s coming together wonderfully ❤️
Thank you!
I learned something new today about the wavelength of colours and plants ability to absorb the different wavelengths!
Plaster on the wall looks great. It is difficult moving those highlands cows when there is so much good grass to eat along the way😆. My son just spent four days putting up stronger electric fence to keep his highland cows in they love escaping and making him spend half a day rounding them up.
Oh we feel your son’s pain! Our problem is the little one who just slides underneath!
The blue wall looks beautiful and is a great addition to this amazing room!! Well done you two!
Another interesting and funny vlog! Thanks for sharing so much of your outdoor life with us. I am looking forward to seeing how the greenhouse building is used over the next year and to seeing Marc brush your pig 😊
Thanks Judy!
Ahahahaha naughty piggy ❤ the colour looks uniform to me 😉
😂😂😂
That was fun to see Mark get the milk straight from the source!
He had such fun doing that!
Last week Michael Petherick’s pig kept escaping and going to the farm next to their Chateau to hang with the cows too. Funny companions.
I watched the Pethericks then too and now I wonder if there is some kind of special relationship between pigs and cows. 🤔
Pigs are very sociable creatures and shouldn't be kept alone. Ours is a rescue pig and we weren't expecting to have him so we haven't been able to set him up with others yet, but we will. They should never be isolated. We make sure to give him lots of attention whenever we can!
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres Thanks for letting us know this, Amy. That is so interesting 🤔
You need to feed them chop (crushed oats). Use a metal pail. They get used to the sound and then you just knock the handle against the pail and they'll come running and follow you anywhere.
Great tip!
Another great video. I assume the cows eventually got to their - and Piggy’s - new pasture?
Yes they got there in the end 😂
Moving along, and looking good.
Brilliant vlog, thoroughly enjoyed watching ❤
Thank you! We actually enjoyed watching it back 😊
Wonderful. Funny pig!
Love the cows and piggy. They are clearly living a happy life. Nice to see your (rescued ?) palm trees doing well. The greenhouse is really coming together, love the blue wall. Mark I am so impressed you can milk a cow! Thanks Amy and Marc for another great garden video.
Piggy🐷 being in love❤ with the cows🐂 is so sweet😊 I do hope he gets to stay with them poor fellow must have been lonely😪
What a lovely haint blue. The plants against that will be a gorgeous sight. Looking forward to it.
Great video ...fascinating about the colour choices of plants !@@
Thanks Alan! And thanks for joining the premieres!
The greenhouse is going to look wonderful (already does, although it's unfinished) as well as being super functional. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished and full of plants, and especially the irises.
Gillian I don’t think I’m ever going to see Marc again once the greenhouse is finished, do you?!
Well, you'll have to fight for his attention even more than now, that's for sure!
Those cows are huge. Their horns are massive also. It's funny how the pig enjoys their company. Everything is looking good.
Your vision for this complex project is amazing.
I remember the blue bags that went in to your wash 😁 but I am old 😂😂
Remember them too. Bluies to make the whites look 👀 brighter lol
I didn’t know about those! Interesting!
I still have some wash blue in my laundry cupboard. Hummm, I haven’t used that for years. Maybe I’ll try it to whiten some old towels I was about to give up on.
I watch both of your channels and I’m also subscribed. It’s fascinating to see what you are doing on both channels. I absolutely LOVE your highland cows!!! They are adorable and my favorite. 🐮 The water leak in your chateau was so unfortunate. I’m glad the plumber was able to find it and stop the leak. Leaks are so frustrating. We’ve had a number of them in our house. Our house has been repiped and our roof is being replaced. We still have 1 leak to figure out. The upstairs shower leaks onto the floor downstairs right in front of the half bathroom. It’s driving me crazy! Hopefully we will figure it out soon. Love your channels! 👍🏻😉🥰💙🐶🍷🙏
I love that blue!
You also could take old mirrors for reflecting light in the greenhouse
Lovely idea!
Love the blue ! And so admire your plastering skills ❤
I remember those they were called Dolly Blues. My mum used them and Dolly Tubs to hold clothes soaking in water. Not forgetting the mangle with bìg wooden rollers.
I love the garden building! Great inspiration and implementation!

The walls look terrific! Beautiful color. I hate white, so great choice.
Amy, when my husband moves our cattle on the farm he feeds them with a bit of corn from a bag for a few days prior to the move they then relate the sound of the corn in the bag to a nice treat and will follow the sound of the bag being shaken. Might be worth a try xx
Great work everything coming along fine. 👋🎉 All great things happen in time. Imagine in 10 years you will have finished everything and you will say WOW where did I get the energy to achieve all these wonderful achievements. 🥵
Looks very nice with the blue.
Thank you!
European history major here …. I love watching you bring buildings from back in time into use again!
Love me some Highland cattle! Cute, cuddly and their color is amazing.
Glad you were able to bring them into your world. My family had a small farm with many of the animals you have. Had cattle, horses, rabbits, pigs and many things fowl but no Highlands! Your children are beautiful. Love watching them grow and enjoy the home you are making. Enjoy you sharing the saving of this lovely estate. Blessed to visit France years ago. Adieu
Thank you!
I love the blue! What a difference already! The cows add another layer of personality to your estate, your hard work is paying off.
Added bonus they 'cut' the grass😂
Love the progress 🥰
Thank you!!
Marc! What a hoot! Milking the cow for milk for the lime wash - I'd never heard of that:)
Great job! Please protect your eyes mixing lime it will burn like crazy if splashed in your eyes
Everything looks good against a sky blue
Yeah I was annoyed I couldn’t find my glasses that day. It’s not a risk of splashing, the way I do it, but the clouds of dust do make my eyes itch afterwards. I just try to close them for the beginning part!
I love the blue color. Of corse it helps that it is my favorite color 😉 but anyway, I think it is perfect for the room and what you say about the plants absorbing light from it makes totally sense. About the pig. I think you should consider finding a friend or two to sweet little Piggy. Pigs are herd animals and he definetly misses some friends to play and cuddle with. Pigs are extremely social creatures and they even sleep together in one big "pile" when they live in a herd. So if you really want to make him happy you should consider a couple of more little piggies ❤
Wonderful vlog and very educational!
Your work becomes really exciting, and is such a fascinating process! The history is so poignant, and also very emotionally fascinating!!! 😊 I LOVE your Highlands, even when stubborn!! A little attitude is good!! 🥰 From Napoleon Missouri USA
