- Spring has sprung and the grass is growing! But not for long as Nick kicks off this week’s episode by prepping the yard for this week’s activities so strimming is top of the list with more prep work to follow and for Clare it is a cleaning catch up before we have some special visitors arrive.
Andy - the ‘Man with a Digger’ arrives and him and Nick spend the day working on the major bits of the yard whilst Clare stays well out of the way with the dogs.
And who does not love a delivery! More aggregates arrive.
It is finally time for the seedling to be planted outside and Clare gives you this weeks Garden update whilst helping Nick with the yard raking gravel and finally slowly moving into the greenhouse.
Merlot and fussy Flora get a special New treat this week but where will one of them end up?
And never forgetting the finale - Wine of the Week and a very kind gift from our visitors this week a very lovely red number.

Great seeing how you two are reimagining the various spaces of your property. You both bring vision and skills to the task! Great work!
Ha...my Alexa responded too😊
Hot house/Garden looks grand!
Dogs likely found something that has been there left a sent or died there!
Claire, about 10 years ago, I took a band of brothers tour in Normandy (it was early March so there were only 2 others in the van). It was mind blowing to see the actual sites that were a) the actual sites, and b) the places where BOB was filmed.
So much progress on your chateau sized maison de maitre! Claire, you might appreciate this. Autocorrect change the word maitre to Mätresse which is German for mistress. 😆 Luckily I caught it.
How wonderful that you had visitors from overseas, lunch looked delicious. The man and the digger made things look easy didn't they. I do hope the seedlings do well, the pots and garden will look spectacular.
It was lovely to see Derrick and Glenn . Your so lucky I live in Ireland as that was a very inviting afternoon spread you put on. Your garden is looking amazing, good luck with the glass house.
It has brought so much gravitas to the courtyard. Looks good though. Love the shots of the garden colours are wonderful. I grow borage in my garden.
Wow what a transformation it looks fantastic! Another job well done! You both work so hard and it shows in every episode... Cheers
Looking good! I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸
Marilyn Manson? I can’t clean to the heavy stuff. Like yesterday I played some Anthrax and all I could do was headbang whilststt my dogs stared at me like I had lost my mind 😂 Anywho keep up the good work guys!
You activated my Alexa too…thanks for that. LoL That baby digger was adorable. So much progress a step at a time. Make sure you have a shade cloth for the greenhouse so it doesn’t get too hot come summer. Oh and open that ceiling vent to allow extra heat and moisture out.
I was about to make the same complaint!
Great suggestion!
Oh Claire the struggle is real! I totally feel your man pain. Angry cleaning music, I must try it 🤣❤️
You two are the best! I wish I can pop by and say hi ❤The gardens and outdoor changes with that beautiful pool are looking great . Big hug from Chicago
Gosh you have been busy! The courtyard does look good with the gravel spread around, it makes such a difference eh? Nice for viewers to be able to pop in like that, I wish I could, but being at the other end of the world sort of makes it a bit of a mission, not to mention financially pretty much not going to happen any time soon! Love your little glasshouse Clare, you'll be surprised at just how fast things grow in them! Yuk to the pig's ear, the smell when that was cooking would have been a bit rank! But the doggies must have their treats! Grerat video as always xx
I cannot believe y’all are not at 100,000 subscribers! I always enjoy your videos ❤
Jerri - thanks for your lovely comment x 😘 we wonder the same thing on a weekly basis -
One day! 😉
One way of helping the channel is to increase engagement by replying to other comments, as I just did. 😉
I agree! Your videos are so entertaining. And every week I scream “Wine of the Week” !
Agree 100%👍
Oh dear Clare! I'm a fellow cleaning metalhead too !!! 🤣 ❣️❣️❣️
I loved seeing Glenn & Derrick stop by and loved you invited anyone that messages you. Thanks for being so sweet. Hope everything goes great. Kiss the four paws babies for me and have a great week. Your friend Sharon
Another job well done. So nice that you had viewers visit. That lunch looked delicious! Wish that the visitor was me!!
Flora didn't look remotely repentant. The gravel/yard is looking great. Raking is such hard work! Glad you enjoyed your visitors!
Missed your premier. But watched today. Another fun vlog 🥰🇨🇦
I don’t know how you can keep a straight face sometimes. 🤣
Next year, Lloyd and I are planning our trip of a life time. I was born a MacDougall and I hear there is a Cheiftan still. That lives in a Castle. I want to tour Scotland, a trip to Paris and I do have relatives in Ireland that I have actually met. I would love a luncheon like you served the Canadians. We really are a good people. Lol. We would like to add Spain to our list as well. 🌸🇨🇦. Plans are just in the starting phase.
Borage will self seed Clare, admittedly it’s a pretty flower,and used a lot in culinary, but in all honesty, I did plant it, and it was coming up everywhere in our little garden even between our paved backyard, and my garden is in pots. 🤷♀️
Hilarious ❤ we Canadians do have a great sense of humour as do you. 😂
Hope you enjoyed viewing the digging 😅
I think you did a great job on the new intro! 😊
Love seeing the fur babies what breed is Flora she’s a dainty thing. Merlo is a funny fella.
Flora is a miniature pinscher (min pin).
That was soooo much gravel! Well done you two! Glad you got a digger to help with the trenching. Those pig ears were ghastly, lol.
He’s a man and they are experts at making a mess, and just to let you know you just tuned on my Alexer😂😂😂
Yard with gravel looks fantastic! Do the marigolds keep bugs away from eating the garden? Flies are the downside of this beautiful season. What a treat to get the rewards of viewers visiting. You deserve all of it! ❤
the marigolds were added for luck just to keep the bugs away - fingers crossed x
When you told “Alexa” to play Marilyn Manson for your cleaning routine, my Alexa started playing Marilyn Manson. 😂 If you only knew how many times I request a song and she can’t understand me, you would laugh, too.
I have watched what I missed now lol. Now it the bog outside for Nick for him [Just in case he cant make it]😂. Seedlings are popping up now Claire. You do make ma laugh when you said sweat in between your boobs and dirt . Thats just like me 🤣. Loved watching all and not just the end. I will try and make it next week🙃😂on time😆😘
Courtyard looks fab guys💋❣️
You set my Alexa off!
The shot of your weathervane NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND “O”?? What’s the O mean? Thanks, from Texas - love your channel!!!
Hi Kimberly - the O is for Ouest - French for West.
I still find it odd to look at. All the best from
France Clare and Nick x
Have a great week. What part of France are you in?
Hi Denie - we are in the Charente Maritime x
gravel=gravier
You know what is worse than cut grass ?? Sand!!
When you are talking about what you’ve done, could please turn the camera around and show us instead of trying to show it in selfie mode. We don’t get a good view of the project!
