You have a handsome, graceful, humble husband, Amy. He holds and nuzzles his children & he is graceful, protective & considerate of you. Gods peace & blessings upon you & yours & all your endeavors. 💫
I love how Marc holds Juliette with one arm and her head resting in the crook of his arm. She seems very contented in that position.
Marc the "electrician" was too funny. So happy the little pig has a new home. He seemed to love his surroundings. Clement and Juliette are totally adorable. I just love your channel. God bless your family.
I absolutely love how you let your little ones 'help'. Taking care of living creatures are such important life lessons. ❤️
Marc has a great sense of humour. Really noticing that Juliette is looking more like her dad everyday. Really enjoyed this vlog. Luv from Canada
They’re astonishingly alike. You should see them sitting together wiggling those eyebrows!
Thank you Amy and Marc. Such a lovely video, I just love how you work together so well, and your infectious laugh Amy, had me laughing. I loved seeing Clement copying his daddy how to put the poles in the ground, and also how Clement takes his chainsaw everywhere with him. Juliette is growing fast, what a lovely family you are . Sending hugs to you all xx
Thank you Janet!
What a joy and delight. Love Mark and his electrical talents. You both bring such joy and happines to life.
What an adorable little pig! I loved seeing his tail wagging. What a good laugh I had when Clement was in the cage! Juliette is such a little cutie. I was on the edge of my seat when Marc was playing with electricity. Oh my! 🐖 🌸🌱
Happy birthday to Clement❤️❤️. The pig is a good addition to the Chateau and a great friend for Clement. Our daughter’s family had one for about five years and their three children loved it! Watching the two of you doing electrical work was too funny! You both have such a great sense of humor!
Pig looks so so happy! Love the little tail wagging 💖
Another delightful episode introducing Piggy. I always look forward to your vlogs. We spent all our childhood vacations on our grandparent’s farm which was established near Berlin, Germany, in the early 1800s so I watch your farm life with great joy and nostalgia. There’s nothing like exploring a dusty attic finding treasure. And nothing like being shocked by an electric fence….The last time I found my grandmother’s Art Deco crystal pink vanity set she brought when she married my grandfather. It’s lovely and must have been a wedding gift. My cousin and I pieced the history together, realizing the bedroom suite was also Art Deco but from a catalog. Farmers are frugal people. I was so glad when my cousin gave it to me and it has now pride of place in my own bedroom. Family history! Omi and Opa were also once young and full of joy and hope. When the last uncle passed on, we as four cousins, decided to keep it as a family vacation home. Of course there’s always one who wants the money so we paid her out. We leased out the pastures and wheat fields so it’s the homestead, outbuildings and Grandma’s farm garden which is now a wildflower meadow. But the old lilacs and berry bushes are still there. To others - and the renegade - it’s nothing but a crumbling pile of old, dusty, filthy brick and stone. But for us it’s our childhood and the memories and the connection to a long line of hardworking people.
My three cousins living close by maintain it and I do hope to visit next year again! I live in Houston, Texas. To us it’s our homeland. Our Heimat.
You two kill me !! Your conversations are so funny and little Clement in the cage..... I couldn't stop laughing. Great vlog xx
pigs are SOOOO intelligent, & they "jump for joy"...I've seen it. wonderful addition to your menagerie..believe Gerald Durrell would applaud..very inclusive life there... so lovely to see "piggy" out & about in later videos, definitely part of the WHOLE family... Bravo!!! "Remember Wilber, Charlotte's Web, how I came to respect arachnids"
Cute piglet. I was so relieved when you had the pop-up the chainsaw is a toy. I'm such a mom, I fretted when he Clement fell on it. 😆
Juliette seems to be mesmerized by daddy's voice. She looks so comfortable in such odd positions. Good daddy Marc. I know Amy appreciates his help. He's a natural.
I got a baby pot bellied pig when Peter Pig was 6 weeks old. He lived in the house as a dog would and I potty trained him. When he became 110 lbs I re-homed him to a farm close to where I was living at that time. Pete was a sweet boy.
In the U.S. some small pigs only eat grass. It takes a long time to grow big enough to harvest an eat. They are usually friendly. Heritage breeds are popular with homesteaders.
Happy Birthday Clement
Lovely vlog thanks for sharing
I just love the love emanating from this family; my favourite part of all. That is truly a wonderful cake Amy....great memories for sure♥
Enjoyed the electricity master class
Thank you lovely family
Oh my goodness you two I had a very good giggle…
Love from California !
Screamingly funny Marc! Rikki Biermann, Pretoria, South Africa
Clement has got the animal husbandry bug - such a natural way for a child to learn - with his own "pig". Sparky Marcy has charmed words but Astute Amy knows better. Great vlog - in the mountains one has to turn ones hand to anything. Wonderful family - wonderful plans. Keep safe . Hugs & bisous. 🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘
Thanks lovely Kathryn x
Oh My Word! When you said an electric fence, I thought you were talking about the one where a dog wears a collar & can't cross a buried wire or he'll get a shock! That would be called an invisible fence. Dugh
I just Luv how Clement is so determined to always help! 💗
You are all wonderful. Loved this video. Mark is a jack of all trades.....Enjoy your pig. You have the perfect yard for him. Do you like him Amy??
That’s a good question Judy. I’m not used to pigs and I’ve not yet ‘understood’ him. He seems a bit unpredictable. But he’s quite sweet and I like that he follows us around!
Go on, "Hold his Hand",....
it's not so bad .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s so cheeky isn’t he?!
So glad to see you all again; the children have grown so much and are just adorable! Pigs make really good pets and are quite intelligent, keep working with him, he will learn. I just love all of the animals, they are beautiful! Bless you guys and look forward to seeing you again.🥰
At 21.28 The wall socket turned black. 🤭🤭🤭 Marc continued
I came to see my mother saying fire fire 🔥🔥
It was really cool 👏👏👏
That had me laugh till I 🤣🤣
Really enjoyed the vlog thanks. Love all the animals you have. They all look so healthy and happy 🙂
I have piggy envy. I absolutely love pigs! I'd happily have some here on my little block. I had pigs here about 35 years ago, but alas they got sold at Christmas when they were a couple of years old. I did have a little work pig for a couple of years too, she was madly in love with our calf, she chased him around the house all day! But she had to go as did the calf. I do hope you get piggy "fixed" they're much quieter and easy to handle. Piggies are very social animals, they'll quite happily eat from your hand and follow you around. I had a laugh at Marc fixing the fence unit, been there,done that with my old one. I think the coil had broken on my one too, must be a common fault on old units! It's just as well I learnt to solder in my misspent youth! Handy skill isn't it? But I never electrocuted myself! Hope piggy has a long and happy life at Rosieres! Much love and big hugs 🤗♥️🤗
I love your videos so much. Thank you. 💖
Happy birthday Clemont🎂,what a happy little piggy 🐷,Marc sence of humour is funny and Juliet looks like him ,your children are so cute ,I love to see peacocks at chateaus and large homes beautiful birds x💕🌼🤗
I think your little piggy should have another piggy friend.
What a wonderful addition to the family The boys will have great fun and it looks like the dog is very curious.
Best vlog ever! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Lovely!
Found you via Stephany and Phillip. So happy to learn what animal lovers you are.😻
What A Lovely Birthday Present 💝 I Think He Will Be A Happy Pig 🐷 And Get Use To People 💕
It's so funny that Marc likes the pig 🐷. Can't you guys give him a name? Maybe Tony or Frank? I think that would be nice 😜
I love pigs. I'm jealous. You guys are great. Love your videos. Love from Quebec, Canada
Lovely family and animals! Thanks and greetings from South Africa
Thank you for watching!
Hi there Amy, I know this is a little late, however my husband urged me to send a comment. I may be repeating others comments or you may have already learnt this. But if not then it may be helpful to you. Your wee pig looks like a Vietnamese Potbelly Cross breed. (A purebred shouldnt have any white markings) He can grow quite large and heavy being a cross because of hybrid vigor.He can live up to 25 years old if he's well looked after and you keep an eye on the condition of his teeth which can start to rot and wear down noticeably when he hits his teens. If he's a boar, he should /may grow tusks which can become sharp and need paring back for safety. He can and will bite if he gets annoyed and if he does grow tusks he will use those too. If he's not castrated and you plan to keep him for his life, I urge you to castrate him. Also an electric fence will not stop a pig that takes fright. They will run flat out and go through, between or under the fence. We have very recently lost the last of our pigs to old age. My beautiful PJ was a 20 yr old, Kune Kune Boar (also a minature breed), he was just over 200 kgs (not fat, just solid with the weight of his cartilage like armour). He was like a walking brick & he grew to the size of a shetland pony. He had massive tusks but had lost all of his molars from grass grazing over the years, so the last 3 years of his life he was feed 3 times a day by me. We taught him early on to walk on a dog harness for ease of shifting him etc. But when he grew tusks we used a pig board as well to ensure there was wood between us and him. We also taught him to sit, roll over and stay. All for ease of handling him. But being an intelligent boy he liked the challenge and the stimulation. He was good natured most of the time, however he was also very territorial and could be aggressive to strangers, dogs and horses. We are experienced pig owners , who previously had a free range breeding operation of 200 Berkshire Sows and half a dozen Boars. The minature breeds don't grow as big as our Commercial pigs, but a boar is a boar and can be aggressive and unpredictable at times. So prevention is better than cure. PS he would also appreciate a water wallow as pigs don't sweat so the wallow helps them stay cool and fly free in the summer. Love your Vlog by the way X
(from Sharon) Thank you so much for making the effort to put together a vlog in what I remember to be a very difficult time to find a spare minute! The little piglet is a perfect addition to the menagerie of animals at Rosieres. I enjoy the banter between the two of you:))
My sister's dog, known forever known as "Sparky', figured out a way to test electrical fencing...by urinating on it. Twice. The learning curve is real!
😂😂😂
Love your intro! I has a cute piggy face! Too bad your children are so ignored by their parents😉. How lucky you are to be able to be with them so much! So cute that the piggy wags his tale!
What a great birthday present 🎁 Your son is so adorable and Juliette’s expressions are priceless. Have you named the pig? Are you planning to get more? Really enjoyed watching this vlog. Marc’s sense of humor is cheeky to say the least. Can’t wait to see what’s happening in the carriage house 😍😘
What a cute piggie!
I'm a little late in seeing this. It was a great relaxed wonderful video! kudos to you!
Congratulations Marc on multitasking - vlogging, holding baby, erecting a fence!
The both of you make fantastic real life actors. The electrocution was hilarious 😂. Did you name the pig after?
Still chuckling after greatly enjoying watching this Vlog. I actually gasped out loud when Clemont fell on the " chain saw"..
😂😂😂 Marc did make me laugh with his electric shocks! I love the pig and hasn’t he grown!
Happy 2nd birthday Clement xx
Better grab the second pig sooner than later. Pigs by their nature are very social.
What a very lucky pig, he will be very well taken care of.
Marc looked like a schoolboy doing a science experiment in school haha ,Clement was funny while he tried to help ,Even more hilarious him in the cage
Happy Birthday Clement 🎂 Interesting that the birds are all Free-Range but is in a coop. The chickens, peacock and turkeys all seem very interested in what Marc is doing. The piggy is adorable. I'm happy Marc did not electrocute himself! Love from Vermont
Clement is trying so hard to help his Dad. He sure is a great little helper. What does Pepper think of Pig?
Well that was a little bit Shocking lol sorry couldn't help myself. Lovely family you have an so friendly an down to earth. Always get a laugh , in a good way , out of your videos. Take care.
My gosh, Juliette certainly does resemble her Daddy....she's a doll and Clement certainly is becoming a little man...busy busy! Your tractor cake was cute...well done and happy birthday handsome Clement. I love Marc's humour....so dry....hilarious! The little pig is so cute! Good luck! Thanks again for a lovely family video!
OMG you guys had me cracking up - glad you both survived electrocution. 😂Your kids are going to have such fun experiences growing up with the animals. So many life lessons to be learned. I have this sneaky feeling that pig will be quite large one day. 😂
What a lovely story. Happy pig with a lovely family.
Lovely video
Really nice enjoyed this vlog🙂
Just love watching you both interact with each other. Is the pig a pet or meat? Are you getting a girlfriend for him? You kids are just adorable.Love the story of Marc and his first experiment with electricity
Thank you! I think he'll be a pet unless he seriously misbehaves! And we'll be getting him a pal once he's fixed!!!
Happy Bday Clement! What an adorable pig you got for your Bday. Bless you guys for saving the pig. ❤🙏
Loved this pig episode 🍰☕🍰☕💐
See you next time 🤗
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤
Ahh , love all your animals, pig is lovely, it's great for the children to grow up around animals. Enjoying watching your videos, jane.
Love your pig, new family member! Amy & Marc, you are both so cute together, your sense of humour gets me laughing!
Very comforting to see a happy pig in this world. Well done.
What joy to watch you all, and the adorable babies are growing so fast! And the cute little piggy , they use to love to nest in lots of hay and straw to dive in under , they also love blankets to hide under when they sleep, I think he will be an even more happier piggy 🐷
Enjoyed the excitement of the pig and mending the electric pen. The children are growing so quickly and even more adorable. Always thrilled with your videos. Janice from Arkansas USA
Pigs are so smart and you just gave him a play park! That's one happy little pig!
Pigs are emotionally intelligent and social animals - very much like dogs. He would love have a companion one day... once he's fixed that is (wink-wink). You're creating such an enriching environment for your children to grow up in. Blessings to all the chateau inhabitants!
👍🍀🇮🇪🇺🇦🇮🇪 great vlog
What a sweet and adorable pig. Pigs are very intelligent and lovely family pets. They are very family oriented so they will warm up to you if you’re gentle with them. They can easily become part of the family in a house. Pigs are not given enough credit for their intelligence and their interactive skills with humans. You’re giving him a chance to get to know you and they easily warm up to you. I would look up the breed you have and their temperament and what they like and get to know him better. I’ve never seen a black haired pig with a white spot on his face he is adorable and unique. He’s already become very friendly in three months. They are so adaptable.🌈🇨🇦
I haven't done the research but was always told they were not very intelligent. I will have to look into this before I comment again. He is adorable.
Yes. Pigs are super smart. Fun fact from Wikipedia fifth-most intelligent animal in the world-even more intelligent than dogs-and are capable of playing video games with more focus and success than chimps! They also have excellent object-location memory. If they find grub in one spot, they'll remember to look there next time.Jan 14, 2016
Awww you're all so sweet and fun! That piggy is a very lucky one and has found a perfect home! I'm sure all the animals will soon be best of friends. :D
The pig is a great addition to your menagerie of animals! Your children are growing so fast, and they are both so cute!
Blimey you nearly gave me a heart attack …… wonderful to see the wee ones outside albeit Juliette is still a tad too young to be helping her big brother with his ground works. God bless all and take care…..please xx
That was fun! My, how that pig grew in 3 months :) I also have a husband prone to shock himself with electrical work, sigh. Glad all went well, and the sweet piggy has a home. Thanks so much!
please tell me his name is Pumba. I feel like Clement and Juliette will need a Pumba in their life. And pigs are just sooo smart. How he immediately knows to wait for you to cover the wire with the plank and then just trots out!
Also I think Clement was being really clever as well, when he tried to emulate putting up the fencing rods. He just watched and immediately knew he should push down on it with his foot. Just the balance wasn‘t there yet.
Nice pig😊
Love the feeder...
Marc loves that feeder. It was quite something to bring it back from the UK!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put a WARNING ⚠️ for future videos involving Mark and electricity ⚡️ I was at my doctors office in the waiting room packed full of people with my headphones on when Mark electrocuted himself. I completely lost it. I couldn’t stop 🛑 I started laughing so hard then even harder when he once again asked you to hold his hand on shoulders. I nearly peed my pants. I started laughing harder because everyone was just staring at me. Some looked worried like I could have been some junkie/zombie about to chew their face off. Seriously. Disclaimers keep people like myself from embarrassing themselves in public.
Honestly best laugh I’ve had in awhile so thank you so much. Your husband kinda comes off as sweet and shy but I’m seeing more and more that he has a magnificent sense of humor and your laughter is so genuine and hilarious.
I think adding a pig to your little family of animals was the logical next step in the evolution of the property and there were more reason but Mark wouldn’t pay me enough for more thought out reasons for having a pig. He wants alpacas 🦙 next.
Can’t wait to see you next week.
And now you’ve had me laughing out loud at the image of your doctor’s waiting room 😂
@@Chroniclesofrosieres I think my doctors nurse thinks I’m have a mental break. She asked me if I had started menopause yet with a serious look in her eyes and I started laughing again. I finally stopped long enough to tell her I went through menopause 8 years ago and that I’m just normally bat $hit crazy so there was no cause for alarm. Now every time she walks in she keeps giving me side eye and I just keep laughing. I can’t stop it I might be a little bit hysterical in a fun way and I have to pee really bad.
Also I really think you need to name the pig Hamlet. I really think it’s the most appropriate name for him and fits right in with all of the rest of names.
Hello to you all, What a gorgeous piggy; he was so little and nervous when you rescued him and now he's really big and happy. Thought of a name yet? Peppa? I wonder if Clement will name him? I was really worried that Marc kept getting electric shocks but well done for persevering with that ancient kit! I love your vlogs: you are such a gorgeous and fun family. Clement is adorable as is Juliet. I am excited to learn about your project for the coach house. Whoopee can't wait. Lots of love. Xxx🤗
😗🌻xxxx
OMG!! The kids are just adorable...Good luck with your new family member....At least you can get rid of some garden extras now...God Bless!!
Happy second Birthday Clement, not everyone gets a cute pig for their birthday. Have you thought of tweaking the intro to include Juliette?
Lovely video, this brought back memories, i was born on a farm in Australia, and my uncle gave me 13 chickens for my 13th Birthday.
Pigs get huge! Do you know if it’s a pot bellied pig or just an everyday pig? Is it a male or female? Pigs love eggs so if you have any extra the pig will gladly help and when the orchard is covered in dropped fruit the pig will help then too. Piggy looks very hale, hearty and happy now, he’ll be very big in no time 🤣😂🤣. Maybe wear a leather or rubber glove while working on the transformer or at least disconnect from the power source till you’re done 😵💫. Juliettte is growing so fast, she’s so sweet.🥰 Good luck with the pig and Happy Belated Birthday to Clement.
I feel the orchard full of dropped fruit is a recipe for a drunk pig … 😂 there is this one documentary from maybe the 90s or early 2000s, where a lot of animals in the African wilderness all eat overripe fruit and get hilariously drunk. Stumbling elephants, monkeys and so on…
Oh, and congratulations on your new 'digger' Clemont X happy Birthday darling
That was bloody brilliant❤️❤️
A happy piggy to have a good home with many other creatures large and small to interact with. To be shocked once is one shock too many, but poor Marc was shocked multiple times yet he still managed to laugh about it and get the transformer to work. He is a man who knows how to do many things. You are both so much fun. xx
I love your charming videos!
Loved this! Cant wait to see more piggie updates 🐷🐷
The pig needs a friend ♥️
Your children are so adorable, love how hands on you both are with them. Enjoyed watching the pig 🐖 get a new home and was quire concerned that Marc was going to electrocute himself. Love from South Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
As ever, funny and informative. 😁♥️♥️♥️ Your content is always improving. The kids are ever entertaining, and nice supporting roles by Dave and Pepper. 🙂
We had a similar house pig. She is only 450 lbs full grown. Just a wee thing 😂😂😂🤪
