    As always Marloes such a beautiful Vlog. The Chateau was absolutely stunning and is sure to be a big success. Prayers and love to Mama cow and peace to her calf that did not make it. The countryside in full Summer bloom just beautiful. And the lovely lunch you made - yum! I hope that recipe will be in your cookbook. Merci Marloes!

    Your garden area is lovely! It's always a challenge to know what to keep and what to replace as some plants do well at first and then later not so much. Sixteen years later at our home and I'm still learning! Also, I especially like how everyone in the family takes turns cooking a favorite dish that they enjoy. Very sorry about the baby calf. The poor momma!

    It is sad to see and hear the cow's grief. I again realise, animals have emotions, personality, connections, take care and I try to be more thoughtful with food, that comes from animals.

    Just beautiful... the way you so unpretentiously arrange the flowers, the tree trunk in the shots of your sparkling white laundry drying, the sound beneath the music of a sheep calling, and the fox ! What a beautiful creature... the views of the mowed fields and trees billowing with growth in high summer, and the precious cows.. are the cream ones Charolais? - such a gentle country idyll...
    And then the contrast with the delicious simplicity of your life-style - the elegant chateau... what a delight to see the details of the architecture, the mosaic floors, and herringbone parquet, the lake and the trees.
    Your videos are a gift, thank you Marloes, and the music you choose is perfect...

    I love growing all kinds of flowers in my yard. I don't know much. For me I just plant seeds and learn from what I see works. I noticed how easy it was to grow garlic from cloves that started sprouting. I plant them in fall and then they will grow into a whole garlic bulb in early summer.

    You are probably already aware but it’s important to make sure that you are in the same “zone”as she is, meaning that when it’s the ideal time to plant and prune things in France that it is the same as for her where she’s located. My mother is a horticulturalist and she lives in a different zone than I do so when I was asking her for advice she reminded me about the different zones. Your garden looks beautiful- you do indeed have talent there.

    • @FrenchCountryLife
      @FrenchCountryLife  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Yes, but thanks still for pointing that out. With this Lathyrus, she said to cut off the beans (or the things that look like beans). I hadn’t even really noticed them but when she said it, I cut them off. It is supposed to direct energy back to growing more flowers instead of having the plant put energy into growing beans.

    Thank you for yet another fabulous vlog. The bells are so lovely but news of the calf is very sad. This has been such a lovely summer in our area compared to last years hot weather and drought. But the hail has been terrible.We feel for those on the land. We've been hit 3 times this year and the garden has been stripped bare each time. Thank you so much for your recent Newsletter. It's beautifully curated. We're exploring Burgundy at the moment as part of our adventure to find a place to call home in France. You're newsletter has introduced us to some new places we've not yet visited as well as given us greater insights into some our favourite places. Many thanks Maria et Rowan.

    Ha Marloes, dat was weer meegenieten, dankjewel. Jouw omgevallen roze Lathyrus is een klimplant. Als je een stukje kippengaas tegen de muur bevestigt, klimt hij er vanzelf tegenop. Misschien kun je deze nog met een touwtje omhoog takelen en vastzetten, maar de stengels breken snel. Maar dan weet je dat voor volgend jaar. Hartelijke groet! 🙂

I love to take a large cutting and put it in a vase on a shelf or window sill and let it trail down . A few little bottles on the table with the cow parsley is also something I love to do. My heart breaks for the brown cow looking for her baby, so sad. She’s full of milk and no baby to nurse I hope there was a way to comfort her. 😢The chateau was exquisite, thank you for taking us along.

    Don't despair. Happens to all of us. My suggestion, dare to switch your circle of opportunities and venture other venues ... like join a club ... if you like art, for instance, take classes with people who share your same interests and try to find a man who's a few years older than you... maybe in his early 30s or so, so that you can be his princess. Don't rush the relationship and don't give all of you ... leave some challenge for him ... we all like the challenge because it makes it the most interesting... don't mean to be difficult, but just value your self ... you're much more than a beautiful young woman, you are a most beautiful soul and that's the best we have. Our bodies age, but our soul remains young, kind, and beautiful. Love is beautiful and if you want to be in a good relationship for life, ask God to bless you with the right man. ❤

    Jesus! Why can’t the Vet make a house call? We have that kind of veterinary service here & I live in a city, it isn’t cheap to have an animal put down at home but I have NEVER let my other cats wonder & go nuts looking for their other family member. The Vet comes over, & after he leaves I have my alone time & then I wrap up the cat in their blanket with only his/her little face showing, I put them in their bed or favorite spot where they always slept & let the others come around. They know something’s up & they come to look & stare & even immediate death has a certain scent & they understand their friend is gone, the next day I take him/her to be cremated & when the time is right one day I will scatter the ashes someplace beautiful...not where I live, this noisy, crowded dirty place is nowhere to spend eternity...it’s tough enough for humans to deal with loss & some of my cats were raised by the older ones so I see how they grieve. I wish the sick calf would’ve been put to sleep not far from his mother & she would know why he’s no longer around, to just make him disappear like that is worse. Animals especially the mamas need attention when baby dies. Thank u for update.

      The vet came to the farm / village, they never take cows to the vet. But he advised to take the calf to the farm and bottle feed it and keep a close eye on it.
