Thank you Amina! So glad you liked it. More coming soon 💕🤗💕

Thank you! Yes I love the teal sofas too, and they are very comfortable. They are one of the few items we have bought new. Most of the furniture came with the house, some more we bought in brocantes (second hand), but those sofas and the kitchen islands are the only new items we’ve bought so far.

Aww, Thanks Mon! 💕🤗💕 Hope we get to catch up soon 👍🏼

Thank you! 💕🤗💕

Hi Sue! Thank you for joining us 🤗 That’s an interesting idea indeed. On the other hand, I do love having the dining room on the side with the terrace, as we so often start the meal with aperitifs on the terrace. At some point though we’ll get an outdoor table for the west side of the house, however the prevailing wind does tend to come from that way, so we end up eating on the terrace or in the dining room mostly. Thanks again for watching! 💕🤗💕

Hi Sally! Yes I agree, but so far we’re planning to ‘wall’ it with hedges… but they need to be planted in the Autumn and will take time to grow into ‘walls’. Also, south of the house there is a large walled garden, only one of the walls is now overgrown with fruit trees. We will show you this in more detail in future episodes.

Thank you. Yes we love the layout too. It’s one of the things that attracted us to this house 💕

Hi Rochelle, Thank you for your comments and questions ! We bought it in 2020, and we have about 3 acres. Indeed it is a farm! It used to produce Cognac and Tobbaco, but we have much smaller scale plans that we shall reveal in due course. Yes I like the lighter green for the kitchen too. Thank you for watching💕🤗💕

Me too!

Hi Lauren! Yes Windmill Lane does seem to be the favourite. Thank you for watching! 💕🤗💕

Hi AJ, Thank you! Yes the layout is definitely on the the things that attracted us to this house. The renovations are going to take some time however! Thank you so much for watching, we're so glad to have you along with us : )

Thanks Oliver! Yes we love old buildings too!

Bingo! That’s the one we’re going for. Thank you. Yes the skylight was my husband’s idea 💕🤗💕

Thank you Brenda 💕🥂💕

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching : )

Hi Oliver, It's a family affair... most of the filming I do myself, unless I'm walking around on camera, of course, then it could be my husband or my son behind the camera, or frankly just about anyone I can grab who will let me put the camera in their hands! ; )

@@jennyschateaufarm thanks Jenny for the replies. So the hubby is the one who camera shy right?! 😂👍🏼

@@oliverpavic275 Yup! And my son too. Who knows though, maybe they’ll change their mind one day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jenny, how long did it take you to learn the drone photography? It’s wonderful. A Yankee writing to you from Normandy. 😘

Thanks Linda, yes I prefer the lighter shades. The kitchen is a bit dark just now but that’s only because all the shutters are closed to keep lit the heat - it’s nearly 40C here(104F)! 🥵🌡

@@jennyschateaufarm ugh! And no air conditioning! We Americans are so spoiled. Of course we Texans dealt with 30 straight days over 100 on up into the teens. Blazing hot this summer!

Hi @@rhondathomas7952 ! Yes I remember those Texan summers well - I had a Grandma who used to live in Denison Texas. We certainly could not have survived without air con. Charente is thankfully much more forgiving as those high temperatures do not last so long, and generally, the thick stone walls keep this house nice and cool,. So long as we keep the shutters closed to keep the hot Sun out.

Thanks Irina! I’m with you 😉

I agree. It seems as such a comforting color.

Hi Peter! Thank you! Yes the car events in the village are really great! Sometimes they don't even bother to officially record the race times, they just do it because it's so much fun and brings everyone together! Thank you for watching : )

Hi Harriett, Thank you! 💕🤗💕

Yes they were! I’m glad they’re gone too 💕👍🏼💕

Awww, thank you Linda! So glad to have you along with us : )

Aww thank you Mary! Your place sounds wonderful! I love Cape Cod! It’s one of my favourite places in the world. I have many happy memories from there. It’s a beautiful place to be 💕🥰💕

Thank you Mary Ann. You are very kind 😊

Thank you Mary, Yes we’re going with yellow in the hallway, and the pantry will remain separate. Glad you are enjoying the videos, more coming soon. 🤗

Hi Randall, I use Soundstripe for all my background music. Here’s the one I used for that intro: app.soundstripe.com/songs/12030

Hi Svg! Thank you for your comments!

Thank you! Yes that’s the one we’ll be using! It’s almost unanimously the favourite! 💕🤗💕

Hi Leah! We use Soundstripe for all our music. That particular piano music is by Adrian Walther. It's called "Hampstead Heath Moments"

@@jennyschateaufarm Hey Jenny, thank you for this. Great choice of 'atmospheric' piano music for the opening of your video. Best wishes for future videos :-)

@@leahhamdaoui7755 Thank you Leah! 💕🙏💕

Hi Harry, yes the high ceiling heights were one of the things we were looking for in a property. And we love the large windows that come with the high ceilings too!

@@jennyschateaufarm The pig sty had a ceiling too low for me to stand up straight in, but the overall height of the building limited how high I could raise it, as that would cut the height of the bedroom and bathroom above it. Compromises have been made! It is all fun!

Hi Camille, yes the kitchen in the dining room area was already there when we bought the property, so that is what we have been using. But we intend to renovate what was the old kitchen into a larger kitchen, and then restore the dining room to being just that - with a larger table able to accommodate at least 12 people. Thanks for your great question! : )

Hi Sandy, Thank you! Yes older Chateaux can be very higgledy piggledy by nature of them being redeveloped so many times over the years. Ours is very symmetrical and relatively modern. Yes Windmill Lane seems to be coming out as the favourite, I'm not sure if it is my husbands favourite though, so we'll have to wait and see. Thank you for watching! : )

Hi ChuckandMax, Yes that is the plan, but we do love it so we plan to re-use it elsewhere. : )

Dear Mr JamMaster! I do need more content. You are right!

Thank you 🤗

🤣 You caught me! It was just so good 😋

Yeah, not good.

I noticed as well! Too bad…….. not nice for your dinnner guest😛
