MY GOODNESS I am SO very glad to see you and know all is well (except what you're dealing with in the lovely house in France). You were missed. Please know your followers have you in their thoughts and care about you. Take care.

Considering the house has not been lived in for 8 years, its in good shape. No major structural work, its a beautiful house. Area looks amazing too.

Must have been fairly traumatic going back after all those years, but with your usual energy and determination your French house should be revived soon and ready for a new chapter. Bon courage !

As a UK citizen setting up a new business in Austria, renovating a not-yet-finished-house in Tuscany and now another project in the Dordogne. Please balance it out well. Finish the basics in your your job first in order to have a clear mind to handle both projects! See you soon!

Raff glad you are well! Funny to see your old cloths I bet. Gave me a chuckle. Okay how about some detail regarding an eight year lapse. You buy her out or you bought her out of the home. Devil is in the details as they say. Best Thomas

Welcome back! Good to see you are ok. Renting this house out will be a good income for you to continue your project in Italy. Facing the past isn’t always easy but you will be very busy while you’re at the house, and another aspect is you will see her past beauty come back to life 😊

@ellebelle85152 ай бұрын
It was touching that you included all of us in this trip as well as seeing your house in France for the first time in 8-9 years! I can imagine how many mixed emotions you are feeling. Having revisited old 'homes' after years of absence, I remember it as if sort of in dream; like I am remembering myself as another character at quite a different time of my life. It is important to let your soul absorb all the changes and appreciate the good experiences you had from that life and now the progress you've made in your present life with your family.

Charming house. Revisiting past chapters of our lives can be tough. So glad you’re going to save this beautiful gem of a home! You are certainly able to do it! I definitely would need a broom to knock down cobwebs and bug spray !!!! I’m not a princess but I don’t do bugs!! France looks beautiful. You would thoroughly enjoy New York State: Adirondack Mts,Lake George, Finger lakes, beautiful hills, waterfalls and glens and history. New England is beautiful as well. Although videos you’ve shared with Austria are amazing!!!! It really is good to see your smiling face again! We all admire your strength and bravery. It’s a brave man who can face his past in order to move forward!

Don't be sorry that it took you a while to upload something. Completely understand, you have a busy life! With that being said, I'm so happy you're back! Thank you for the update and thank you for bringing us with you on this trip. Even though the trip seems to be a bit bittersweet, I still appreciate that you're sharing a small part of the story with us. Lovely house you've got there in France as well. Must say that I'm quite surprised how nice it looked inside - expected something completely different, when I saw the exterior, haha. I always get so so happy when I see that you have uploaded a video, and I will look forward to the future ones as well. Thanks again, you're the best!

Raff, SO great to see you again! I am sorry that you have had so much trouble but I am glad you are back on line . It was good to hear you during the long drive and maybe we were a bit of company for you. I have been in and out of the Toulouse area as we have friends in the Lot. And yes so many castles and amazing how many are lived in. Imagine taking care of one of those? The place in France looks like it could be a great rental but more work for you. I can understand not parting with it. We are here for you so will look forward to your next video. Xo

Glad to see you’re back online. It’s always good to see you, even when not online for a while. Life goes on , right! Quite an emotional time arriving there at first I bet, but you can do this, you are a strong man. Renting it out or even using it through a holiday letting firm will at least save your investment in this house. It should be a great investment at least. You have a second holiday home in the meantime. So glad we all get to see you this weekend and your adventures in life. Take care and be safe! All the best, M.
