Amy, you never have to apologize for not doing a riveting video. Just seeing your lovely face and hearing about your plans and sick children is good enough. Many of us have been there with little ones catching every virus out there, I feel for you with so many projects you’re involved in, but things will get easier with the children. The night sky is lovely. xx
It’s real life Amy and just as interesting as the big projects, it makes for a nice mix. It’s really good of you to involve us in your lives x
Amy you are a joy, there is nothing mundane about your life and work at the chateau... keep it coming.
Please don’t apologise. I love to your vlogs, enjoy your humour and sharing of mundane stuff, artistic experiments, simple activities of your day etc. Looking forward to the next one!
Sometimes we just want to be with you and find out what’s going on. It’s not about all the DIY. We enjoy you! Love your humor with real life.
Don’t sell yourself short! We all like to hear about what’s being done and you have a great sense of humor. The light switch story made me laugh. GZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Don't feel despondent with the children being sick. Soon, they will be immune to most stuff and all grown up.
This vlog was a wonderful window into your life. Your followers love to live vicariously at your property. It is all interesting to me and others! I love gardening, renovating, decorating, and history so both of your channels are a huge treat. Thanks for sharing your never boring life at Chateau de Rosieres with us. I hope Clement and Juliette are healthy for an extended period of time. ❤
Amy - you are a hoot! Emerging from the front of the tarpaulin was a belly-laugh:) Your daily predicaments and priorities (aside from the kiddies) give us joyful moments - thank you!

Beautiful night scene!
How fun. I love everything you do. But defending yourself from the peacock with a selfie stick made me laugh😂. It shouldn't have been funny because I had to fend off pet turkeys growing up. Maybe that's why. Brilliant job securing the tarp. And hopefully Clement gets to feeling better soon.
Stop apologizing, anything you are up to is interesting to me because it is soooo different from my life. So thank you! 😍
Impressive problem solving. The moonlight was so bright! Magical.
Children must always come first, so shuffling jobs and running a semi normal household is always challenging. Your doing a great job Amy and I enjoy watching any of your daily tasks. You did a good job securing that tarp, not an easy thing to do, well done 💕🇦🇺
Tell us more about this National Award! And yes,this is a riveting episode Your honesty counts for a lot. "Slightly chaotic orgaisation"-- that sums up my many years!
I loved this video. It shows the different tasks that all need to be accomplished, and that is life. Hope the children are feeling better. Take care.
We get “big tasks “ from you so often so please don’t apologise but life is filled with the small, medium and big things as well as ups and downs, challenges and the unexpected. Thanks for sharing all of this. It gives us a 3D rather than superficial view and your authenticity is why we follow you. Your sense of humour is seasoning to a perfect product. Keep being true to yourselves and sharing with us. I love your integrity and vision.
Sorry Sorry your precious babies aren't feeling well, such is the way with building their immune systems! You were amazing with that huge tarp! Conquered that very well! And thank you for inviting us to join you in your moments at midnight. What glorious night sounds you have surrounding your beautiful home! As usual, looking forward to our next visit! Thank you, Amy!
Hi Amy, love the fact that you keep it real. Being a mum with small children who pick up every little thing and trying to do renovations on your amazing Chateau, is no mean feat. I love watching you both doing your projects and renovations. Watching you both is my little escape. Your tiles will look beautiful when they are finished. Thank you to you both for sharing your life with us on KZread. Keep up the amazing vlogs it is wonderful to see what you're doing.
It seems appropriate that a selfie stick is the magical weapon against juvenile peacocks

These are some of your best videos showing real life.
Another lovely blog. You’re some woman Love you cool fun and your understanding that it’s hard for us to know sometimes where you are on the estate. I feel the atmosphere at the chateau through your chats and projects. Keep the faith in yourselves. You are marvellous. ❤
Amy, you are a treasure! There is nothing you can't do when you put your mind to it. Very good job! Your videos are always extremely interesting. Hope the children get better soon. Marc's long piece of metal was a huge help. He must be so proud of you. I enjoy tackling farm chores with my husband. Janice from Arkansas USA
Amy i am glad you include real life episodes on your channel. Great job on the tarp. It appeared the peacock was a bit scared off by the selfie stick and the tarp noise, maybe take a piece of it and attach it to the selfie stick for defense against him next time. Could work. Hope the kiddos feel better soon. That greenhouse will be beautiful. Hadn't seen it before. The view outside after midnight was so peaceful.
I'm sure I'm not alone in being glad that you decided to continue videos and even expanded into the second channel. Keep it coming
The early years are a problem with small children, their immune systems are developing but they pick up everything - once they get to about 5 or 6 it improves somewhat! Much respect to you for what you do achieve under these circumstances. xxx
Another lovely chat and real life at the Chateau❤

Amy, I can only speak for myself, but I watch many restoration videos and since all of them takes years and years I enjoy watching the progress having no expectation of major movements. It is watching your channel and others, that owning a chateau is a dedication to having to do major work for the rest of your lives. Keep doing what your doing, we have grown attatched to your family and even the simple things puts a smile on our faces, even if it is something like you having to chase running children while filming. It's called life. Big hugs all around.
I find everyday life very relatable Amy. So don’t feel like this episode is not very interesting because I find it very fun!
Honey, you never cease to amaze me, with everything you do, and you hold it all together so well!!! LOVE your channels!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Tell you one thing Amy, you'll never get bored - never a dull moment at your place 😁
I actually REALLY enjoyed this episode! Real life is more interesting to me than just projects. I felt myself wanting to be there to help you with that tarp!
Real life is always better than staged scenes. Hope your children feel better soon. Every parent has gone thru the germ factory so we understand. Looking forward to following your journey and seeing the children grow up. Your peacock 🦚 is too funny regarding your selfie stick 😂😂😂😂😂
Amy- We love hearing from you no matter what the subject is. Great job on the tarp and overcoming your fear of heights. We like that you and Marc of genuine and authentic. It is always hard balancing kids and work. Hey, who was the other guy in the video? Was he helping Marc with a project?

I just love the chat you've done for this vlog. Feels like chatting with a friend!
That greenhouse IS Stunning!!
You’re my favourite KZread chateau people 😀 you are in it for the restoration with a real passion and a love of the life .
They say that necessity is the mother of invention and your solution to the flying tarp has proven that point. Even what you may think are the more mundane chores at the chateau simply highlight how much work you have to undertake every day. Never a dull moment . .especially when dodging that pesky peacock...lol.
The things we do to escape our animals 😂. Hope the kiddos are on the mend soon.

Bravo Amy…Ingenuity. Tarps are hard to control. Thanks Again🌹
I'm loving both channels immensely! Sorry to hear the children are sick, that's no fun.
This was great! I laughed so hard at you crawling out of the tarp,,perfect music! You and Marc have great sense of humor! Great video,,thanks. Hope kiddos are better soon!! ❤ 😊
Always a joy to watch your videos. Even the best laid plans crumble when you have children....they come first....and animals have a way of getting in on the act. Keep going.....
Lol...peacocks 😂...I love the stone wall. Looks like you overcame your fear of heights Amy ( it's a start anyway ) Bravo👏 The night sounds are so beautiful & they keep listeners alert 😳 We have "urban" fox living within our surroundings ( thx to generous neighbors feeding them - it is sad since our squirrel, rabbit & cat population is being depleted). It is sooo wonderful to watch all of the improvements @ Château Rosieres ❤
Had a rooster that would chase the kids broke the cycle by catching the rooster petting him, giving small treats teaching the kids that it was protecting the hens when to backup but never run or the rooster will continue this behavior. Life is a challenge with little ones and trying to fix and maintain your home. Small breaks, small victories and small hugs from kiddos make it worthwhile. Between you and Marc and his mighty digger you can see steps forward in your progress.

This peacock was hand reared so he has no fear, and during mating season he's bullied by the big peacock so he takes it out on other creatures. Like humans! He's sweet as anything outside of May and June!!!
Thanks for the update! I do love the new garden show! Best of luck with the peacock 🦚
Hope your kids are feeling better soon. It's so difficult when they are little. You did a great job with the tarp. Thanks so much for sharing.
The peacock may like the color scheme of the tarp, as it is bright blue on one side and green on the other, which are his colors!

"You should drink more coffee"... That made me laugh 😁👏 Great episode, real life ❤️
If you can keep the tarp from “billowing” it will be less likely to blow off. The weights are a great idea but I’d scatter some bricks or rocks around the top, too.

Amy, thanks for another wonderful video. I really appreciated your explanations of everything that is happening at the chateau at the beginning of this vlog. So please don't apologize for that. Take care, and hope you all stay healthy!
Whaoooo, beautiful greenhouse! Love the fact that the the beautiful structure goes over a digged surface below the soil level, semi enterrée, I suppose that it was done that way to ensure a certain high to the plants inside but surely they used geothermal energy to protect the plants from a harsh environment . I noticed it in a video about in the altiplano with no structure over, think it was to protect the crop from the wind. As always, it is delightful to hear you. Bon dimanche❤
Oh my gosh Amy! Way to go with that tarp! I laughed out loud as I could see you moving along under the tarp and literally cheered for your determination to just get the job done! I truly enjoy the casual chat style videos just bringing us along with whatever is happening with you during week. Others seem to agree that its quite fun and you needn’t apologize. It seems like the things you fear might be too boring we find the most fascinating and enjoyable. 😊 Keep sharing “your boring life” 😉😘 with us and well wishes to your sweet children. (Loving Marc’s channel too!)
This is riveting....you have us enthralled...laughing. . understanding about small children and their illnesses. But what you and Mark are involved with...the work you do..what? Mark broke his ribs! ..You both have our greatest Admiration!.. Blessings.
lovely, funny and very entertaining
Amy. thanks for the update! Great job on the wood! Hope the Kids feel better💕
I think Mr. Peacock likes you very much! Loved the video and the nught sounds, they are so beautiful , no wonder you stayed up to listen and look at the night sky. Heavenly.
Cool music choice
Have to say your everyday is a superwoman effort. Lucky your ants are not like our ants that bite really hard!!! Good thinking with the tarp! Loved seeing your 'day'.
Hope your little darlings get well soon, soon they get used to all the bugs that children get sick with, the worst is when you pick it up and still have to do so many things, you have your hands full, and you both are doing a fantastic flog, take your time with everything, we will and can wait for the flogs to come, look after yourself and mark and them darlings come first, your a very beautiful family, love watching you, such a kind beautiful face, and maybe one day I will get to visit, one of my dreams. 🌸🌺🌸🌺
The moon with a ring around it, at the end, means rain is coming.
Loved the update & love your personality. ❤
Amy… About 30 years ago when I lived in Florida, I saw a bumper sticker on a vehicle in front of me, it stated… “I am woman, I am invincible, I am tired.” I have always thought this “truly epitomizes, a woman, and you are a good example of that. Please do not think that your channel is boring, don’t forget the majority, I believe, of your subscribers are women, so who better to understand what you are going through as a wife and a mother, and an owner of a château. I love your channel, and will also be watching your new channel.

Hope babies are both well again and I can't wait to see the tiles again x
Really excited by the new channel, an extra dose of Marc and Amy, hooray 😊. Loved this video, don't beat yourself up.
Well done Amy, I loved this video… will definitely subscribe to the other channel. You are both doing great work and I look forward to your updates. I hope your beautiful babies are on the mend. Xxxx
Your hair is the peacock's idol!
I love listening to you❤
I enjoyed your video. The peacock issue is too funny!! Great job with the tarp. You could have tied off to the trees as well. Tieing to a solid immovable object is always helpful. After spending years struggling with tarps to cover the seasons stack of hay bales for animal feed, a trick i finally figured out is keeping the wind from billowing the tarp too much by placing heavy objects where ever possible and by tieing off every grommrt to something, even it it is just the string from another grommet.
All those worries and you still crack on. Well done
Sending lots of healing prana your way! 🙏🤗🥰🥰
Well done Amy.Its the same for children all over the world.Hand,foot and mouth is rife globally.Hooe next week finds things improving.🎖️🎉
It’s hard work, specially when you have little ones ❤
All updates are welcome! Watching you climb under the tarp was pretty funny.
Good luck to you ,Amy, and Marc... the projects sound very interesting, but do them at your own pace as taking care of your little ones can be very challenging. Im happy to see any of your vlogs. Keep smiling as always. Jeanne from Melb 😁
Immensely enjoyed your cunning plan - esp the battle to get out of the tarp😊
Hello Amy, as others have said, there is no need for you to apologise for the video content. The realities of life are so refreshing against the unreal world of social media in general. A tip with tying down the taup. Tie it to something solid on the drive side, then knot it through the eyelet on that side and then continue the rope right over the top, then knot it on the eyelet on the other side, then fix it down on that side. This means that the line is taking most of the stress, not the eyelets. This method will also help to stop it rubbing on the timber. As you have it, eventually the rope will pull the eyelets out of the taup. You are such a great team. Thank you for taking us on the journey.

Thanks for the ideas! I had weighted it down on the other side too so it shouldn't shift but you're right it would have been a good technique on this side. I'll bear that in mind in future!
