Hello, Have you gents retired from VLOGging?? When can we expect another video on KZbin? All the Best, happy winter and happy holidays!!! 🤗 🤗

Another lovely video.

Magical...

Wow!!! That was amazing guys!

Merci pour ce beau Clair de Lune de Debussy sur ces images romantiques de la belle Charente

So much hope this past summer, and now as winter approaches here in Michigan, I've found myself in a very dark state of mind. Your beautiful video made me think that perhaps it could be best to embrace melancholy as you did, with beauty, accepting the inevitable, finding peace in acceptance. I was a painter, but haven't touched my paints in years, the same canvas on the easel. I need to get back to it, somehow. It might not be pretty, but it might help. Thank-you, both, for such a moving video. I'll be watching it again.

Lovely thanks guys ❤😊

DEBUSSY ....Sublime. Merci , pour cette promenade 💝

Votre vidéo sur la campagne charentaise est très jolie, et les couchers de soleil apportent une certaine nostalgie sur ce qu'ils touchent. La musique était parfaite pour cette saison d'automne. Merci.

This was a wonderful gift……..so beautiful and soul soothing. ❤️ much needed and appreciated! You guys rock!

You've perfectly captured Autumn both in images and music. Stay warm. M&R

What a beaut video. Roberts music complimented it! Thanks for sharing your peaceful moments 🙏☺️

Fabulous! Both visually and musically beautiful. Thank you both!

Day dead bye-gone Laying near the lights… A beautiful, soothing accompaniment to the seasonal darkening of the countryside. Thanks for always bringing us an artistic impression of your lives in Charente. ❤

Hola from Ecuador! We don’t have the changes of the seasons as you do in the Northern Hemisphere, so it’s always nice to see the transitions - especially in the autumn. Beautiful colors.

It's funny, I've been playing a lot of Debussy lately. Lovely video. l'll actually be in your area next week, so I'll be able to see the countryside there too. It is a beautiful area.

Thank you for that. A feast for the senses.

Beautiful thank you ❤

That was so lovely….thanks for sharing!😊

Beautiful music and images!

👏👏

Thanks so much for sharing such a beautiful video!❤

Great fall video...Hearing Debussy play and very relaxing..Thanks to you both. 🤩

So nice! Thanks!!!!!

Enjoying your VLOG and your adventures. Thanks Gents. 😊

Great video, I just saw this on the playlist. I did a video about Rouillac this summer for my channel and unfortunately missed the Foire du 27, but the rest of the history of the town is interesting! I enjoy your channel as we are in the same area covering different things : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mneyi4GXebaSb6s

Hi Robert & Jyrki, I watched this vlog again after a long time to see you playing flute. I am a music teacher here in Australia (cello major) and am curious to the head joint on your flute. To me, it seems longer than the usual head joint? What is it made from, and does it differ in length? Who is the pianist out of you two? I retire in mid 2026 and plan to move to France, but will roam full time in a motorhome. My visa doesn't allow me to earn money in France, but I intend (for the fun of it) do some playing/busking on my violin, but that will have to be outside of France. Kind regards, Stuart

Those glasses look great boss

Curious to know how long you have been together? Bob and Jim in USA.

What a challenge and such an adventure. Joining your VLOG

Watching you work with the paper we see how detailed you are. Bob and Jim

Greetings from USA, Bob and Jim

I think this was the first video that I watched, when I discovered you. I just rewatched it, to refamiliarize myself, with the layout of your home. It makes much more sense, now.

Nice work guys, the tile looks fab.

😊Lovely video ❤

Perhaps the fairies in Ireland take on the appearance of foxes! There is the risk of disease from blackberries picked below knee height as this is where foxes pee.

Big market 🎉

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Enjoy your peaceful country living as long as you can boys!

Retired to SW France almost 9 years ago, everyday feels like a Sunday 😂

I am looking forward to seeing it when it is done, and more video's of the remodel as it is coming along. Jeff

🤣🤣🤣🤣The Fairies pee on them. Nice video. Kitty seems to enjoy herself there too. ❤❤❤❤ Jeff

Salut les garçons, désolé je parle pas anglais. J'ai découvert votre chaine par hasard et en suis très content. Je la trouve intéressante et très agréable à regarder, c'est chouette , continuer comme ca b..... Mais c'est vraiment dommage que je parle pas anglais. Bonne continuation olivier

It’s great just to stop and take everything in 😊

Well guys, I guess you've found out what we here call ART DE VIVRE. Enjoy!

All that rain made for lush fat blackberries!

The last winter and spring were indeed extremely rainy, not only in Charente but in all of France, here in Charente Maritime as well. Spring and summer were not very nice either and September is very ugly compared to other years. Let's hope that the winter will be less rainy! Thank you for this lovely report on your peaceful life among us. Well done for decorating the house that suits you. See you soon!

Hey guys, thanks for the video. Looks like everything is still going well and I like that it's all slowed down now. That being said, I have a question. It never occurred to me before, but I'm wondering what do you do for transportation when you're there? Do you rent a car for the entire time?

Nice!

When I was working full-time and raising two kids on my own, I don't remember a single quiet Sunday morning! Now I love them, the pace, the slow coffee, the silence, the no-obligation to do anything! Enjoy your quiet times! I'm sure you've earned them!
