A Week in the Life of a Medieval Chateau: Sunday (In Which Amy Launches Operation Terence)

Well it's been a long time coming but here, at last, is the final episode of 'A Week in the Life of a Medieval Chateau.' If you can remember that far back, it was Easter Sunday, and so Marc gets creative in the kitchen with a local tradition that I'm pretty sure that none of you will have heard of before!
We've decided to start posting our videos every other Wednesday. This feels a little bit more achievable than a video a day, or even a video a week. We love sharing our life with you, but we've discovered that there's a bit of a limit to how much time we can spend editing and uploading our videos. We run a smallholding, maintain a 130 acre estate, and are attempting to renovate a pretty large chateau, four houses, five barns, many of which are nearly completely derelict. Oh and we also have a toddler! (All of the above is also why our place is rather a mess at times).
Maybe our editing will get faster and easier in time, and maybe once we have more areas renovated and have more than one bathroom, we can welcome more volunteers who might be able to help us out (you have to be a bit special to be prepared to share the same bathroom as a one year old!)
In the meantime, if you want to see more of us, do follow us on instagram and facebook (we also have a facebook group called 'The Chronicles of Rosieres). And do consider joining our Patreon community, which starts at 4 Euros a month (or the equivalent in your currency). It's such a lovely, friendly, supportive group of people and we post little videos and other posts regularly - sometimes multiple times a week. We also have a chat group going on Discord for Patreon members. / chateaurosieres

What a star Clement is. That smile ❤ Marc is a baking legend, but Amy had the best line ever "is shrew obesity a problem?" 🤔 Love your work 🥰

[@sueheathcock8791]

Yes - I loved that comment too!

[@joanns5250]

Give that man a gold star for his ability to stay FOCUSED!

[@tinekejoldersma]

Indeed!

[@Chroniclesofrosieres]

Haha - he has a lot of practice!

[@margoarmstrong3042]

Although you balance so many things, your vlogs give a sense of calm, peacefulness and joy as you care for each other and creatures great and small. 🌻 from 🇨🇦.

[@KrisanthiaMum]

You put into words exactly what I was thinking 🥰 I’ve falling in love with this family and all they are doing.

[@tweety6666]

Well done Marc!, for baking, babysitting and letting Amy have a sleep in 😇 xx

[@Chroniclesofrosieres]

He's really good like that!

[@rosaliejackson7650]

Marc's sense of humor is so fun! I love how calm and talented he is, amazingly diverse in his talents, and so good with his Clement!

[@kennethdimmick2118]

The look on Clements face as he watched his father breaking the eggs for the dough was priceless!

[@chrstphr12]

I enjoy your videos so much that I'm always a little sad when they're over. You both are so good with Clement and you have such a sweet relationship. Thank you!

[@normamurray4450]

I love your dry humour Marc and your bread baking skills....wow! The patience you have with Clement by your side while you spoke and baked....again, Wow!

[@42apprentice]

Clement was a hoot when he was practising speech sounds and gesturing. He a wee sweetheart

[@Chroniclesofrosieres]

We can't wait to find out what he's saying as he seems very intent on telling us a lot of things!

[@aatikahcarmenhappy3494]

I would not get any work done with such cuteness around

[@kathrynschumann5254]

Darlings, no need to explain! Quality over quantity and that you do well. I adore your precious family and enjoy the videos when they arrive.

[@soccermom1245]

Clement is practicing his peacock call! Wow! Marc has quite a sweet way with Clement.

[@Chroniclesofrosieres]

They're devoted to each other - it's really lovely.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

The daily repair list of a chateau owner never ends! Clement holds onto his little car very well for such a youngster. Lots of love from America❣️

[@mariak9727]

As a Swiss citizen, I thank you for honoring the Swiss guard😜

[@nicolecouture4514]

So cute Clément!!! You are quite the little chatter box. Wow, great work Marc!!😀😀

[@taitweigel64]

With a chateau there is always something to do. Clement is adorable and good natured.

[@karentozer1871]

I love seeing these snippets into your life. Poor Marc tried so hard not to be distracted bless him 😂😂 whilst telling us the history, I think Clement enjoyed himself more watching the baking 😀

[@cassandrasingleton3267]

I love the way that Clement knows how to hold on to the steering wheel, and lift his feet up at the same time! Clever little man!

[@katiemcdonald3562]

Love this family and how they love each other and the world around them ❤️

[@robinchurch5658]

Such a sweet and funny show! As an animal and rodent lover, I so enjoyed meeting Terence the Shrew and am so touched by how tenderly you care for him🤗

[@bethpugh5205]

That was wonderful! Marc, you are so talented with Clement who is the absolute sweetest little boy! Amy, I love how you edit the videos, so different from other Chateau vloggers. Ignat, great filming! Xx

[@cyndiamontgomery6524]

So lovely to see you all again! Clement is growing leaps and bounds and will be walking before you know it! Glad to see you’re getting some rest, Amy. Marc clearly has it all under control!

[@mariadigiovanni1168]

I just want to say that you are both so sweet and genuine, and Clement is a star assistant baker! Thank you for your videos.

[@mariak9727]

🥰Those Shutter “thingies” are called shutter dogs. Ask Stephanie.........she was able to find antique ones on line💕

[@colleennobbs7218]

“This may go a bit wrong”…….we like it however you make it. It is a wonderful thing that you are even trying it.

[@bethanyshepherd6454]

Laughed straight out loud, “I’m not sure if shrew obesity is a problem” HAHAHAHAHA!!!! You’re even funnier when you don’t even try! Your channel is so wonderful! Love your chateau and your beautiful little family! :)

[@tinathene]

Brilliant! A local specialty created by (Marc’s) hand, topped off with feathers in his cap-yum! Plus: The taming of the shrew baby who lost its way - part 1 Merci , Amy & Marc!

[@cheriesharp234]

Well done Marc for showing that men can multi task when required 😂 I think little Clement like the mixing. And Amy how sweet of you to help the little shrew. I have my fingers crossed all goes well with release xxxx

[@sharongreen6334]

Charming! Enjoyed watching Marc juggle the ever giggling Clement in one arm, whilst baking or mixing adhesive with the other :-)

[@paris0551]

I loved this, Clement chattering away - over Marc in the introduction was classic. So glad to see you back, safe and well. Keep doing what you do, and sincere thanks for sharing 😘

[@lpkay]

Such a sweet video, oh I laughed when Clement bashed the dog bowl off camera! Please consider renaming your channel to 'The Chronicles of Chateau de Rosieres' - keyword chateau for fans of diy etc.

[@TheFiown]

In the Pink Panther movie, Inspector Cluzeau asks a man in a hotel if his 'dog bites', the man says 'no', Cluzeau bends down to pat the dog who bites him. Cluzeau annoyed says to the man ' you said that your dog didn't bite', the man replies ' but it is not my dog' ! Marc always makes me think of that scene somehow. His almost perfect English coupled with an exagerated accent makes for fantastic comedy. He would make me laugh all day long but never mockingly. xoxo

[@germaineholmes2247]

What a delightful vidéo. I love that everyone comes over so naturally. I also love the variety of the material from baking, shutter dogs to taking the shrew

[@rosa-f4865]

The Swiss Guard biscuit looked good your videos are so enjoyable Clement likes his car ride he's so cute. Looking forward to seeing operation Terance outcome . Take care keep safe and well xx

[@mkmmurphy9601]

Lovely video! The history for the Swiss Guard brioche is so interesting!

[@rhymeandreasoning]

Marc, could listen to him talk all the time.

[@dianegriffith3006]

Yes, me too..

[@dawnchorus7167]

Love your videos. So sweet of you to look after Terrence. 😊

[@paulakershaw5452]

I love you Amy, everything has a purpose & needs to have every chance to live with your help 💞

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

You’re a delightful family. I really enjoy your vlogs and seeing baby Clement. He’s such a good boy, a testament to both of your calm demeanors. Marc, you get a gold star for letting Amy sleep late and baking a delicious treat!! Stay well and I can’t wait for your next vlog!!💕

[@newday5]

Brave father , your son is so sweet !

[@lwest5686]

Amy: Can I eat his ear? Marc: Which ear? Amy: Oh it's a hat. Ha ha ha! That was great! Flashback to my kids when I see you doing things with one hand while holding Clement. You're all so sweet. Great vlog and thank you. 👍🍷

[@josephinewills8647]

Fantastic Vlog Amy & Marc , Loved it 👌👌👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@karenreeves856]

So lovely to see you all! Clement is growing up so fast! Well done Marc, that baking creation looks amazing! I'm with Amy on precise instructions in a cookbook, vague just doesn't cut it lol! Amy, I hope Terrence is rehabilitated to the wild successfully. Big hugs from New Zealand xx

[@collfoxley2658]

Hi all! Will you check out that stack of fresh eggs! Great vlog post.😄 Take care all😀

[@hootenanny1001]

Awwww, that was absolutely delightful and well worth waiting for. Thank you.

[@lizzybetbutt6040]

What a lovely husband and father Marc is. Love your little family..

[@marilynnash1197]

Love this blog. Well done Marc for staying focused.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Welcome back. Missed you guys. Great history lesson with the baking of the Swiss guard. Glad Amy got some rest.

[@janetmacfarlane6500]

Pepper peeping through the glass priceless

[@ce1581]

Good man Marc ! My husband worked away quite a bit so I would lock us in a safe room and lay in front of door to nap when mine were under two yrs old 😂🤣☺️🥰 Desperate measures.❣️

[@Chroniclesofrosieres]

I've done that in the tent before. I miss the tent since it came down in a storm! There are no other safe places in the main building but I'm working on it!!!

[@debbierudolph9489]

How about a pack and play so that you can put Clement in there with toys to keep him busy but also protected when you have to do things.

[@ce1581]

@@Chroniclesofrosieres oh yes the tent ! That was an excellent idea ! Sad that it was ruined it was a nice one . I am selfish and I want to continue enjoying your videos, so I really hope a family member or angel comes into your life to watch and play with clement while you entertain us and create a revenue stream to achieve the greatest potential for your fam and home ❣️💐❣️💐❣️💐❣️✝️🙏❣️ Grammer shmammer 😉 my life is a run on sentence 🤣😉❣️

[@ce1581]

I wanted to add a funny little memory. I helped my mum with her mowing for years and again when my girl and boy were under two I would prop them in their car seats under a tree with juice and little toys. So I could mow without them runni g away or in front of the mower. It worked well ,but the yard only took thirty minutes to do. Very small yard😉❣️

[@jeffreygatrall]

Nice editing, time lapse, and music choice for the biscuit making sequence!

[@carolfowler7421]

Amy how wonderful you are. You have all these jobs and you still have time to care for the small things. Terrence wont want to leave.

[@lisakilmer2667]

It's a joy to see you back! Your family is delightful. At some point, it would be lovely to see a map of your property -- I never realized you have so many houses, even though you have done a bit of a tour..

[@isobelchapman9548]

Utterly fantastic log…….as for Clement….well I could squish him with lots and lots of cuddles. His Daddy put cold fingers in my heart when he was climbing up that ladder, glad you got down safely Marc. Well done lovely wee family.

[@michaeldriebeekvanderven]

💖 Always such a joy, your videos. You guys are just fun and uplifting to watch. 👌🏽

[@missbobbielawrence6823]

Lol loved it sorry Marc I couldn't listen to a word you said at the beginning Clement was too adorable for words 🤗 and then seeing peppers face at the window when you were whisking made me LMAO 🤣 it had everything ,laughter intrigue excitement danger 😮and Amy's usual loving care, great stuff 😚

[@letacarr6121]

What a sweet family!

[@judiscallan769]

God bless Marc. You all know why.

[@debbierudolph9489]

I love your vlogs you are such a lovely family and I can see the love you have for each other as well as all the animals on the farm. The naturalness of the way you film is so nice.

[@Chroniclesofrosieres]

Thank you Debbie!

[@kerryharding5587]

Thanks Amy and Marc- lovely to have a peak at your day to day daily life. And sweet little clement’s adventures 🕊💕 till next time.

[@Rebekahlow]

I love hearing Clement talk while you're talking.He is adorable!! Marc is a wonderful cook!!! Amy reminds me of myself as a little girl.I would wear a towel on my head after my bath and pretend I had long hair.You've been a wonderful foster family for Terence.Clement's drum skills are excellent! Love from Vermont

[@Daytona2]

Pepper looking at Marc cooking through the kitchen door ❤

[@Michelle-if6jn]

Sorry Marc, I missed your explanation about Napoleon and the origin of the biscuit because Clement was so cute, he seemed to be doing his own discourse!. I'll watch again paying you full attention!

[@Chroniclesofrosieres]

😂

[@judiscallan769]

I finally introduced my husband to your channel. He had nothing negative to say. I think he enjoyed watching an episode. I 💘 seeing what you do with Clement. Such a wonderful upbringing he's having. I included my babies in my working in the house and the yard. xxxooo

[@shannonvans]

It was well worth the wait! Just a beautiful day with your family. Take it easy and enjoy the vlog and I'll enjoy every other Wednesday with you.

[@vickimclean6697]

Your Swiss guard is a work of art...very impressive, Marc!

[@ritajohnson5594]

Always amazes me on the equipment you need to maintain homes. Glad you had the ladders and made me nervous when you started climbing out the window ..lol Good seeing you

[@leslikuyweski4576]

Always work to be done! The Swiss Guard looked delicious! I look forward to code Terrence.

[@shirleygraham6229]

Sometimes a cord or fine rope tied to a drill allows for lowering it to the ground when not required so that hands are free. Please, please tie your ladder to something for safety. Well done with your bakery effort. Best wishes. Look forward to your fortnightly vlog.

[@karenstein1490]

oh my gosh I love this vid. I had no idea about booz in bread.and all the rest. I loved your demonstration of making bread. More cooking demos please !!!

[@sheilaroper1599]

What a lovely and very interesting vlog. It's amazing to see how Clement is growing and so good on his little car. xx

[@jeangodding6348]

Great intro to your video...I love it. Mark you did a great job baking the Swiss Guard. ❤

[@m.patriciafrancis7036]

[@alisondoughty2194]

[@kathsmith4924]

[@normaspande3141]

I simply love your homestead, thank you for opening it to all of us.

[@lucyyoung5307]

Bravo Marc !

[@larryr.johnson3048]

Clement is the star of the show! He’s just adorable and is such a happy baby! Seems like he’s always laughing. Perhaps he finds Amy and Marc a bit funny? I I get a kick out of seeing him put his toes in the air so that his feet clear the ground while being pulled around on his toy car. So cute!! Yes, Terrence is cute too? Johanna Maine USA

[@joyfulthings1]

I couldn’t focus on what Marc was saying because I was focused on the so very adorable Clement. I had to watch again 😊

[@marcellejosephine9119]

Lovely to see you all!! French bread is the best in the world and that Swiss guard looked delicious! I’ll be waiting for a Terence update!! 💚🌿🌸🐭

[@fast800journeylifebeyond5]

Lovely to see all your happy faces again, look forward to the adventures of Terence, you could write a kids book ‘the adventures of Terence the shrew’

[@Abravenewfear]

Keep us updated on Terence ✊

[@rhondagoldberg8419]

Wonderful vlog. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

[@ritakidney2970]

And Well done Marc and Clement. Love you all.

[@blueyzsf]

The Swedish soldier looks like a teddy bear after baking… LOL! I’m so glad you two took time away from KZbin to process things and get through this period of life! Please perhaps make one of those Wednesday posts a premiere? Love having the opportunity to interact! Clemente must be walking by now,?!?! I love how you DIY and work with Bebe in tow! Glad you two are back! 😁😁😁

[@jo-annewoerle3390]

That recipe from Marc looks so good I will have to give it a try. Maybe make little bun sizes. So nice to see that everyone is doing well. Clement will be learning a lot from both of you. He does seem to pay attention to what is happening.

[@pv6450]

Lovely glimpse into your days. Thanks for sharing

[@Saloni63]

Oh my Clement is sooo cute. I love watching him grow and develop skills with the help of both of you whom you can see he clearly adores by the smile on his face when he looks at you.

[@1234OopsyDaisy]

Clement is the sweetest little boy on YT 💕
