Who did we meet in France? | Daily vlog #8

@growinginfrance

It’s always great to meet new friends when you live in a different country, especially if you live far away. And nobody lives as far away as Jack and Becs who are from New Zealand.

Today we meet them for the first time in Angouleme in France.

If you like daily vlogs about people and families living day to day in a foreign country then please like and subscribe. We are a family of four who live in France, we have bought an old house in rural France that needs a lot of renovating, so our content includes that too.

Q slowmo perfect you got but before any of that roll Intro good morning children right Hy Alie good morning well it was a good morning until I just put my finger in some chicken poo I’ll show you no um from the southwest of France here in the Chiron um region of France foggy today what’s foggy in French don’t know don’t like asking

Google all the town she gets she gets annoyed um not not Google Alexa right uh bit of a mish mash day today Sean’s coming uh with the car this morning cuz he’s got a toeb bar going to take that trailer to uh to the disy

Dis uh or the tip in England what you call what you call the tip in in America for American fact a thing like what we did yesterday it’s called grounding in America another from French fact fact boom straight off straight out of the gate this morning with a load of

Facts I think it’s a legal entitlement for every French person or any person living in France to have access to buy a baguette daily it’s the law I’m sure if I’ve got that wrong some’s going to drop in straight parachute straight into the uh comments but uh yeah let me know anyway that’s

What I’ve heard even on bank holidays anyway going up to unlam today with Lisa bet a day today we’re going to go for an Indian uh with Jack and Becks from from grown in France and uh yeah that’s exciting we meant to go last week but I thought I was coming down with

Something um I didn’t in the end which is fortunate I just had a a barri white type voice um anyway right so comments I know that that tree stomp is the launch pad for the hens and it’s only the brown hens that jump out uh although there is one it’s

Still in there I’m going to have to chop it down aren’t I it’s going to have to come in yeah not today you got too much on um so the floor in Robbie’s Room Sea got to the last part of laying the floor and then he wasn’t happy with the level he

Did some um self-leveling compound back in December uh but it it just wasn’t quite level enough I think the laminate flooring is meant to be giving you like 5 mil worth of movement and uh I think this laminate flooring only gave 2 mil so it just it started to pop back up and

Uh probably in a few months time it would have probably warped all the floor so uh yeah he’s done he’s done The Honorable thing and uh and releveled it and he’s going to do the same with the um with the office as well yeah so thanks for all the comments yeah the

Comments help actually um it helps with the YouTube algorithm uh as do likes as do waves as to thumbs down um but watch to the end is the is the biggie if you watch to the end then YouTube are just going to keep pushing the pushing the video out to people but

Um yeah oh loads of decent comments about about the Drone footage now I’d completely forgotten because we came here in September but this area is well known for T usol which is French for uh sunflowers they grow loads around here massive industry sunflower oil so this area is stunning it’s stunning anyway

But it’s it’s it’s a different type of it’s got a different type of majesty in the summer so uh I’ll definitely be taking the Drone up to give you some shots of uh the sunflower fields and uh I’ll obviously be taking my bike out so I’ll take my bik bikes out to the

Different parts of uh the cherant and uh yeah and I’ll do that yeah so I don’t know whether the the floor is going to be dry enough for sha to be doing any any more laying today um yeah so I don’t know what he’s going

To be doing I’m mostly going to be out anyway cuz we’re going to be leaving here around about 11:00 um then come back later on this afternoon pick up the kids yeah so uh in terms of my involvement in anything it’s going to be very little part from the

Got um so what’s new that’s come from leaks are growing so there yeah the massive lettuces yeah they’re the Cucumbers through rocket broccoli spring onion but they’re out as well so onion out lettuce cauliflower uh marot down the bottom garlic spare garlic for when we use the garlic from the garden what’s up

Is that MCH too that’s MCH too wow that’s coming through but also my sunflower seeds oh um the borage for planed and apple trees are I think it’ be uh helpful to explain how you grew the seeds um by researching on YouTube putting the whole pit into the

Um kitchen roll yeah wet damp kitchen roll and then packaging that up putting in a dark place and it wasn’t sprouting but what you meant to do is peel the seed first oh and then wet it put it into the kitchen ril cover it up with a

Plastic or put into a plastic bag and then put it somewhere dark within four or 5 days it’s spred going to get apples in a few weeks then yeah yes you oh but then I did find all those seeds growing in the garden yesterday so where the um Greenhouse

Over it’s um I went over there didn’t pick all the seeds up obviously cuz I couldn’t see them and they had bedded themselves yeah so I’ve now put them into a random bed just to find out what they are so they’re growing and then a load of MCH too was growing over there

It Roots it s into the grass so I picked that up put it into the bed that the m to will eventually go into yeah cuz I figured if it’s growing out there without even being in soil in this climate then it must huh it must want to

Grow anyway my arm’s aching when he go get something to eat right let’s do that right off to unim Q slow-mo can see you with my I can see I see I held it right so we’re here in onm with Jack and Beck from growing in France Link in the description Q Slowmo cl cl I can see
