Vielen Dank Sabine. Truly lovely comment. Thank you. 🥰

The patches of mauve, purple and white "upside down" flowers are wild cyclamens (cyclamen purpurascens). They are native to central Europe and Slovania, though they grow just about everywhere in Europe and UK from seeds. They mostly bloom in shady glades where lots of humus (leaves, branches, vines, etc.) litter the forest floor in late August and early Fall. The interesting thing about them is that when the flower dies off, it forms a "ball" at the tip and as the days go by, they curl into themselves, creating whirls of corkscrews. Eventually, these "curls" tighten around the "ball" resembling a python squeezing life out of its victim. It's quite the conversation stopper.

Morning Stuart & Patrick, what a lovely video, great spirits and good laughter. Loved the Gite, it looks so cosy and clean. The basic is there more can be added later if necessary, loved the big tile floors. The window divide in the bathroom was a great idea and that wooden hanging board, how magnificent is that? Serbet it has so much character, the design in so nice, polish up those hangers it would look even better or have them done for permanent shine. So worth it. Lovely to have your parents visiting again, think it is also time if possible for the other parents to come for a visit. That brocant was so nice, I bet there were stacks you could have collected, but discipline must be the order of the day. It is a good idea presenting the programme every week in a different section of the chateaux then we become more at home as you progress as well. Must be great not to have drama, that is so stressful, we can do without it. Do take care, kind regards, Elize

Hi Hannah. Thank you. Same to you. Hope all is well in Normandy. We had overnight visitors from Normandy this week! Good lord, where did the time go? We went nonstop besides that nasty summer flu. Big hugs. 😊🥰😊

@@labellevieinnormandy819 Hannah, we will be so happy to welcome you here. It was a really hectic time. Getting the farmhouse ready after loosing 2 weeks due to the summer flu was stressful. Having Terry and Ash stop overnight was lovely. It seems to be the case that for us, all comes at once or there is almost nothing happening. Stuart’s father had a massive heart attack yesterday and was flown via helicopter to the hospital. He’ll have surgery today in Chicago. My parents are still here thank goodness. Have a wonderful week too. Big hug from us. 🥰

The transformation of the gite is absolutely lovely. Good on you both......or chapeaux as the French would say.

Thank you Sandy. Yes, great week and we try to be on the move. 👍🏻💖👍🏻

In six weeks what you have done is amazing boys. Along but with the unpredicted roof fall and mahoosive garden weeding project, fruit picking ( lets not go there 🤦‍♀️🤣) saved hours on bottling! Fencing in etc just …. Amazing work. Love the renovations so far well done. HUGEat on the back guys 😘💐😘
