MA-THA-FUC A's, VO-TAH-SUK'A'S, VOLK-SUK- 'A's 👺Has it appeared to you yet that in the present New Testament & New Economy (?) now, that probably most ALL riding mowers and/or electric bicycles are faster than older 🚴road bicycles or even old 12 Speed Huffy Tectra Lites from Detroit USA ? glk ILKS Memoirs

I very much enjoy following your adventures in Brittany Roger. I was in a quandary as the brexit cutoff approached and eventually made the decision to return to the UK (N. Wales) as my children and grandchildren are there and I felt the separation would be difficult, especially considering the 90 day rule and pensions, healthcare etc. I traded down to a much smaller house due to the ridiculous inflated Welsh property market (I’d also sold my sailing boat). I appreciate your stance on the realities of climate change and it’s scientific evidence base. I wish more people would speak out and do what they can to ameliorate the problem/crisis. I feel a smaller manageable sailing boat may be something I’ll need in my life soon. I’ve restored a number of old houses including an cruck built stone cottage in Wales which I used lime-based mortar and render. I also spent some time restoring a stone farmhouse near Landivisiau (Finistère) belonging to a friend

An absolute masterpiece!

I'm enjoying your house renovation videos, not least because I'm seriously looking to get a late foothold on the property ladder with pretty meagre savings from my pension. I don't think I'll get much for 8000€ 😬 allowing up to 3000 on top of that for notaire fees...🤔. So I'm following carefully how you've tackled the insulation question, having seen how wet-rot, dry rot can get into the spaces created by plaster-boarding or timber cladding..

Mon dieu, je l'espere pas....

I think you find it’s Blackpool.

The one thing i'd advise against is adding too many windows as many British expats do, the original sizes and positions of windows were well thought out to minimise heat loss in the winter and keep houses cooler in the summer ! That aside it does give you a nice view.

Thanks you Roger.

Roger what or who is sing in the video, notice you have used it before.

I enjoyed the video and the slow diction of Roger. I wonder what the composition is that Roger puts on the wall: what is the volume of hemp and lime? Can it be done by hand like abobe?

Superb, what a fun day out!

Hello Roger. When I look at your smiling face I hope it reflects the joy your videos have given me, my bother and my late wife. Together we built a Seil over nearly 4 years. We live in NSW. Australia and we now have joined up with other dinghy sailors under the tells of Sailing Kate Louise. Paul, the originator of this group happily admits that you were his inspiration. So I hope that smile grows ever larger in the knowledge of the gratitude so many of us owe you. Patrick

What is the sail rig name on Roger’s boat?..anybody?

How far forward does the mast have to be to be considered a "Cat Boat."

That's a very nice boat but it's not really a "dinghy". One criteria for a dinghy is that it can be easily car-toped by two people. "EASILY" cart-toped! But one can call this boat anything a person wishes, I . It's a pleasure looking at this video, thanks.

Superb video Roger, thank you! I imagine that dinghy cruising with company is very different from being alone - and I'm sure both are wonderful in their own way. Mary looks like great fun, I hope she's loving her Scamp. God bless & fair winds, Chris 👍

What’s the approximate weight of your boat and trailer? I was interested to get something similar but want to make sure I can tow it

I recall a philosophy prof positing that one of the worst inventions affecting mankind's well-being was the minute hand on the clock... He added, "the clock itself was bad enough..." ; )

A man from Shetland told me that fishermen there noticed almost 50 years ago they were catching fish they had never experienced that far north before. Climate change is very real and has been going on for a long time. Well done Roger to you and your team for the innovative work that you are doing. Best wishes from North East Scotland.

A recoil start AND a clutch?? What is the new fangled stuff doing on a Seagull - it will never catch on. 🙂

Estoy construyendo un pequeño velero , para navegar en los canales paragònicos del sur de Chile , saludos desde Puerto Montt, Chile, gracias por tus videos.

Hermoso tú video, libertad pura, saludos desde Puerto Montt, chile.

I am loving this channel I have recently stumbled on, might I suggest to plug and screw those horizontal timbers to the wall, maybe a smaller drill bit is called, and dispense with the hammer...

That was a glorious article you're taking about, it will probably shape the next Carnival. But you should reeeeeeaally read the article on Elle if you haven't yet.

Hello sir! how can i contact with you?

I asked my local builder’s merchant for limewash paint but was told it would be difficult to find anyone who was technically competent to apply it. Ha Ha! The oldest paint in the world. Farrow and Ball offer it at somewhere near the same price as gold. Fortunately I found a traditional maker in North Devon. I bought two hundred litres for one hundred pounds. Put it in my car and took it to my home in France. My ninety centimetre thick stone walls of my five hundred year old house can breath!

Couldn’t agree more: living in the countryside is an isolating experience. A car for every journey. I live in the centre of a small ancient city in northern Brittany. I use my car once a week for my major shop.

Doing something similar , hemp board for ceiling, sheep's wool insulation, calcitherm and lime plaster to walls. Will be stayimg in Loncron in June, will take a wander over to Dournanez and take a look.

Nice cruise, glad to see you out and about! Best to Sally.

GREAT , work and no metal stud work , keep going and enjoy your adventure .😉👍 ✌to those that dare . How does it feel to have ideas and have to pay for your own materials ?

I think that you found a very nice spot to live your life in/on. Absolute wonderful. The house turn out astonishing. This town looks amazing with the little harbour close by and the sea. What more to expect? So interesting to learn about the alternative building techniques when it comes to old house renovations. Thanks a lot. Hope to see you sone while in progress 🙏 Fredrik

Its a very elegant staircase

It must be my age. Years ago I held my breath when a roofer wandered about without a worry on my storm damaged roof. I guess the carpenter-fitter is used to working on what a fellow follower affectionately termed a Basil Fawlty window. Just out of interest, does it open😬

so nice. the sea air must be wonderful

Hemp.. great for buildings

for sure this is an impeccable channel, I have never watched a video that was not wonderful. You know what? I am a regular viewer of your KZbin channel. your content quality are very good. your channel has great quality content.

Thank you Roger for your fantastic insights and overviews of the town of Douarnenez in Brittany. We vacationed there for a week when the kids were small, enjoying the wooden boat festival and camping near the beach. My wife's sister had an import/export business in Italy and was a buyer of their salted fish. I got a chance to go out on one of the locals fishing boats for the day,. We got up close to some of the square rigger training vessels on short tacks inside the bay. It was blowing 20-30 naughts, so I'll never forget that experience. We are retired now and decided to move from the U.S. to France. We bought an old 12th century Chateau in the Loire Valley, so I can relate to your DIY experiences. However, I love sailing and the ocean and still dream of the wonderful time we had in Douarnenez. Life was simpler then, I remember having a beer and meal at a local pub called Le Pourquoi Pas (the why not). Hope it's still there. We are now looking at homes again, this time concentrating in Brittany. Cheers.

Your saw is blunt

As an owner of an old farmhouse in Normandy I am very grateful for the ideas on material usage. But, I would like to understand how you decided that there was enough strength in the house to support the extra weight you're putting "up top".

Mr Barnes………a breath of fresh air, thank you

They took all the sardines and emptied the sea then the factories closed , stupid people

I hope it didn't rain so much in Duarnenez. Regards

Great video Roger and in principle I agree. However we are moving to a place in the country! Hopefully in a few short months. We do have our reasons for our decision and we are sparing the YT population of our story 😂 We will be approx an hour from la rochelle and my question to you is, are there any qualifications to dinghy ownership in France? I can't find anything online but i thought if anyone knows, it would be you 😊 Love watching your videos, we know the region well. Unfortunately we wanted to be closer to friends and family which has taken us into Le Vendee. All the best

Really nice video i will try sculling aswell this season

Betteridge's law of headlines in action! 😂en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines

Heraklith boards work well in these old stone houses..

Love the music. If Douarnnez wasn't the coolest place in north-west France it probably is now you've gone to live there. Aren't French people wonderful,they take no shit eh. These films must be really useful for people who are doing it up their French property.

All your videos are delightful Roger.👍

Quick , the tides going out and you re in the junk room
