wow can really see spring about to explode from the landscape drive through, nothing better than the sudden arrival of spring in france, tue, vous yeah really complicated all depends on the class and the power relationship , if you want to throw someone of guard its a good tool
6:30 C'est le Printemps ! Et merci pour les œufs ! 🤣🤣
Hi Rob the Jp garden scene did make me chuckle 😂😂 thanks for that.
ps there was an emission on TF1 about 10 days ago about the english in charente it was very up good
Okay, I haven't watched yet becuase I am two plus weeks behind, as I just got back from my 2-week France scouting trip a few days ago and am still recovering! But I missed y'all! But WTH was that cold weather you all had for me when I was there? No bueno!
Grue's are back can only mean one thing Spring/Summer on the way.
Birdsong on the video ,not heard that for a while, been freezing and grey here, loved the Benny Hill bit.
So funny, l reckon she loved being chased really 🤣
J’adore <<La Charente la nuit>>! Où est l’autre chaîne dont vous parlez?
Ummmmm & lol, I’ve been married to a French guy forever & have been traveling back & forth these many years & not even once have I seen a 🇫🇷 man wearing a beret.
Oh no Rob I'm still laughing about JP running after Leezar to lift his spirits a la Benny Hill. You naughty boy!! Lisa is such a good sport. Great vlog. Thanks as always for sharing. Love to you, Lisa, Robbie and Avangeline. Hugs Helen, East Gippsland Australia
Got to ask. A lifetime of the gear stick in your left hand – what's it like in the right hand? Feel unusual?
Do any French trees have leaves during Winter? Everything looks dead! Australia has very few deciduous trees (imports I suspect).
OMG – JP needs to wear different clothes in the interviews. Even Kenneth Williams whatever his name is would have. I remember seeing him in a TV show with Syd James when I lived in the Caribbean as a child.
Great video again and so much content Rob and some amazing editing skills – that fade as well when you were at the horse float. So lovely to hear young Robbie was invited to friend's Birthday party. He is a lovely boy. And Avangeline with the cats. So gentle and creative. Those birds were amazing and noisy! And the night sky never disappoints.
You need to watch that JP lurking around outside your door. He has a cheeky glint in his eye just like Benny Hill. Fun memories of British comedy on TV as a child (not allowed now).
Wonder what Wally and Belle were thinking when the new arrival walked past? It was interesting to see their reactions. Even chickens stood still and took it all in. And she got to go down to the back field… poor Wally. And then there were three!
Welcome to Millie. Enjoy your beautiful weather. Thanks again Rob.
Very entertaining. I enjoyed the funny skit. 😂
Rob, your Jean Pierre is « un petit coquin » ( little rascal ) 😂😂I laughed a lot seeing him chasing Lisa !!!
Congrats for « asseyez vous «
Soon you will tell him « assieds toi « when your are closer friends 😉
Tu and Vous is very tricky in French . Just start with Vous since it’s easier .After a while people who know you will tell you « on peut se tutoyer si tu veux «
You are really improving 👏👏
🤣JP – Quality
Another great video and always look forward to watching, now following Colin, ear trumpet & the Halls. Loved watching JP’s antics & think Lisa enjoyed it 😂
Looking forward to the next one 🎥
😆😆 caught by the neighbour. With regards the tu and vous, we've had it when you arrive at a party it's vous and by the time you leave it's tu. Also went to visit a French friend the other day and there was another lady there. I didn't even get to use vous, a complete bypass as we share a friend I'm to use tu from the outset. Same as you tu with my hairdresser and yet the elderly lady I work for it is and always will, even after 10+ years, vous. 😜 confused, you will be!
Great vlog Rob… Luv those night-specs… (I used to have a couple myself…years ago)…. Not sure if you have a few brocante's in your area, but you need to get a mini "roller" to attach to that tractor so that you can even-out those 'divots'…. a lot of hard work, horses; so well done to Lisa 👏👏👏…(just watching your podcast on the other channel…..so far, the others in the vlog look as if they are saying to themselves, "well my problems don't appear that bad" 👀
One of the best!!! Your JP benny hill routine was brilliant!!!
You should have 100k subs!!
Hi Rob and Lisa. I realised that your videos have become a staple part of my week… you called it a show the other week and told yourself off…. but it kind of is. Love watching the weather improve.. only 18 days and we're there! Yay. Please do what you can about the rain for us. Be ever so grateful. Lol
I say nothing…… (about the cutting)
Looks like your "french" friend had to go urgently to the toilet, according his walk.
In that case Rob, you're going to have to drag it over the lawn 😂…(That or a towbar on your bike 🤣)… Have a great rest of the week….I'm off to York to see family….(I'm not looking forward to their weather 🥶🥶🥶)
What a good video, thanks!
