3 STORIES from our LIFE IN FRANCE: Italy, Progress & Scout

[@marilynharper759]

I commented many months ago that I viewed your vlogs as I do a favorite author’s book….i wait till I go through “withdrawal” and have to finish the installment. I just finished yours! Thank you for taking me on your trips/adventures to places I’ll never get to, letting me enjoy your wonder and pleasure in new places, and seeing your “art” in all that you both enjoy and achieve. Really great content in all your videos! ❤️

[@growinginfrance]

Oh Marilyn, thank you so much - we love this comment! ❤️ It's such a pleasure to be able to share this all with you and everyone else, and we're so happy that you enjoy the videos. 😍

[@ChrissyAshton-l6x]

Wow and wow! What a wonderful place in the world you live! Yet again you continue to amaze me Jack with the skills you've learnt & you're SO patient! And Scout is WAY too cute..adorable🥰

[@growinginfrance]

Yes, it's wonderful over here (you'll get to see that soon enough 😉) haha and yeah Scouty is a cutie that's for sure!

[@BASECAMPMASK]

Hi Jack and Becs! So glad to hear that you find our mask effective and comfortable. It’s wonderful to see you care for Scout! 🥰🤗

[@Neroli-Daydreaming-of-France]

Busy people, I loved going along for the ride, what a mission to get to Italy and back, but then again, you can just drive to Italy and back! Adorable Scout. Lovely bathroom

[@growinginfrance]

Yes, it never gets old living here! Much easier to drive a few hours than flying for 30 😅

[@Wendy-r6v]

Hi from a very early morning in Australia ❤

[@growinginfrance]

Morning! Thanks for watching and commenting, see you again soon!

[@65bravo]

Thankx for taking care of the so cute little "Tangerine" 😍

[@growinginfrance]

Of course! I think stray kittens comes with the french country life, we're happy to give them a home 🧡

[@kimberleychavez216]

I love your new hair cut. You look beautiful!!

[@growinginfrance]

Oh thanks Kimberly! I’m loving having it off 🥰

[@moosegreen2612]

Aww nice one on kitten rescue, you've got your hands full(er) now! Best not to give him milk as can give them stomach upset (unless special kitten milk)! Just in case you didn't know. Great job on bathroom, strokes for Scout. TY🤗

[@growinginfrance]

Thank you, really appreciate the advice! My (Jack's) first thought was to give him some cream, but Becs steered me in the right direction, and we got him special kitten milk now. He's gaining heaps of weight and doing really well. 🥰

[@francesdoyle9833]

Loved your video…wow scenery….great progress with bathroom. Good luck with Scout 🐈!!

[@growinginfrance]

Thank you! And thanks for luck with Scout, he is really adding a lot of work, he's lucky he's fluffy and orange and just so adorable.

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

Hi Jack & Becs. I see the famous ‘cat dispersion systems’ is active there. Scout is utterly precious, and yes it’s amazing how much work is involved with a kitten, especially a ginger. They are totally lovable little ones. We have an orange & white one who rules our other 3 (all found) and who is adored by my husband who never liked cats😅. Becs, thanks for that beautiful ride! The wedding place was amazing! Can’t wait to see the finished bathroom. You are both so talented in decorating that it’s sure to be special. Love seeing those sweet little ones❤❤❤

[@growinginfrance]

Hey Kathy! Yes very active - and you're so right, ginger kittens are something special. I (Jack) was always more of a dog person, but this is now our third lil ginger rescue and they totally steal my heart every time. (Becs saved a poor wee deaf kitten from traffic back in NZ and we had to hide it in our rental 😬, plus we've still got Bee, one of our three other cats who has popped up in a couple videos, including the start of this one) It's so exciting to be getting towards the end of the bathroom process - I love seeing Becs' finishing touches that bring the place to life, so I can't wait!

[@Jane-3229]

Love your videos 😊 the bathroom looks amazing ❤ the kitten adorable 🥰 and Italy 🇮🇹 wow 🤩

[@growinginfrance]

Huge progress made on the bathroom again today, cannot wait to share this, turning out to be something we're really proud of!! And can't wait to use it as well! Italy is so stunning, pinch myself that we can just drive there. Kitten is proving a lot of work, lucky he's cute! Thanks for watching and commenting 💚

[@Jane-3229]

@@growinginfrance oooooo I can’t wait to see next update now! Know what you mean about kitten! I have a puppy and say lucky I love him so much! 🤣

[@CynthiaBerry713]

Aww a wee ginger ninja ❤❤❤

😂 haha ninja is so right! He won't stop climbing all over the place

[@rainaeales6692]

All kittens seem to be ninjas lol. Sneak attacks

Thanks so much Patricia, we're stoked to be back!

Love your videos 💪💐

[@growinginfrance]

Aw thank you! Glad you like them! 🙏🥰

[@pruelowden3536]

Just found your Chanel and loving it. Have peeked at past ones and find it interesting that you’re part of the crowd who doesn’t ‘ really fit in’ in NZ culture.

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

@pruelowden35 Go back thru all their videos and subscribe to their channel. Most interesting channel on KZbin and such a lovely family. You will not regret getting to know Jack & Becs😊

[@growinginfrance]

Hey Prue! Glad you're loving it. 🥰 Yeah it never really felt like a good fit for either of us, whereas France felt like home right away. Are you a kiwi?

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

[@equaljustice2054]

Love your hair

[@growinginfrance]

❤️ thank you!

[@amayastrata4629]

We drove from Menton in France into Italy and then up to go through the Frejus tunnel (55 euros!) to Hauteluce in France. The tunnel is huge and has its own radio station. Amazing area.

[@growinginfrance]

Isn’t it just the most beautiful area! So worth the tunnel fee haha 😂😂

[@goodlifefrance]

Scout is a cutie - and no 4 cats is not too much says a woman with 7 cats! lol! 🙂

[@growinginfrance]

Haha wow, I think we're good with 4 for now, but when they're this cute I don't know how we'd say no to any more 😂

[@goodlifefrance]

@@growinginfrance And that's the problem - there is a cat grape vine and one they know you're a friend, they share you and more turn up! Bon courage!

Kia ora, you're a cool couple, love your vlogs. The whenua there is so beautiful

[@growinginfrance]

Thanks, yeah it's really stunning - and so varied all over Europe - we're still always blown away and grateful for it

[@rubystarr-1]

Yay, a kitten! He's adorable and love the name. I used to have a dog named Scout. I too am allergic to cats but I still have two. It's really the dander on the cat's skin and coat that causes the reaction in most people. He might need a good bath. Also, you might want to keep him out of your bedroom, if that's at all possible. It's not here since my cats pretty much run the place.

[@growinginfrance]

Yeah it's not proving easy to keep him out of anywhere haha he really is a ginger ninja

[@rubystarr-1]

@@growinginfrance I've always wanted a ginger cat. I think they're cool.

[@growinginfrance]

@@rubystarr-1 This is our third, and we totally agree. They're the best!

[@Francis-kw9ui]

Protect your eyes. Kitties can sometimes tolerate goat milk. Nice job

[@corricatt]

Do you not do premieres anymore? Its always so fun to speak with you both live.

We haven't in a while, but maybe it's time for a live chat! What's your timezone?
