EP184 A shock discovery beneath our large cemetery slabs, we weren't expecting this

[@bdlodahl]

"Psychic Susie... she's done it again! It's a bit worrying, really! ... I wonder if she can read my thoughts!" 🤔 I love the dry, quiet, dutiful Rols patiently pecking away at helping Susie's parkland vision come to fruition on this grand ancient property! This was great fun, but then, it wasn't I digging and moving rocks from one end of the property to another for the umpteenth time! 🤭🤣 I love them both! ❤

[@fourtails1192]

It's looking like Suzie could be right about there once being a gate there 😊✌️

[@janeblandford852]

I love the way you are both are so methodical when you do your cleanups. You have done so much over the last year and it is all very impressive. Well done and it is so much fun watching all of the finds when you do these jobs....always so many discoveries! Great video!!

[@newday5]

Could you use the flat stones as doorway steps somewhere to the many doors you have? Really dig this vlog !

[@lorassorkin]

Absolutely love it! New/old discoveries are fantastic!

[@franj.1461]

There are secrets all over the place, distracting yes, but so much fun. You never know what lies beneath or what you will find in any cleanup you do. Let the digging commence!😃

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Yes it's very exciting! 😂

[@roberta1678]

One of my favourite videos so far! How fun to see your mysteries unfolding.

[@patriciathompson350]

I'm looking forward to more videos. Very exciting!😊

[@vickiellibby7051]

Since you don't use van often, bring battery in during non use wide cold temperature varies degrade the battery.

[@patriciathompson350]

You need someone to lend you a digger too. ❤❤😊

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

Well! This is not the path we started the video on is it 😂 Who would have thought that finally you could move those granite slabs! 👍🏻 😊🍻to the many videos ahead!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

😂 🤣 Watch this space!

[@normamurray4450]

I love the comments you make, down to earth. It's gets exciting every time you dig something up and try to solve some puzzles. Keep digging!

[@debpate9405]

Very interesting, another bit of history teasing and tempting you again. Happy digging!

[@marysutherland8570]

No worries if you must make digging videos, dig away!!! We will "dig" with you! Our yard, or as you say, garden, is about the size of a postage stamp, so joining you in your adventures brings so much satisfaction! I'm so curious as to how big this stone courtyard is, or is it a path, and if so, where does it lead to? Wish so much i could come join you! Oh and the "raised gardens"? I have no idea why anyone should "lol"! They are significantly above the level of the grass and ground around them, so they are RAISED! Brilliant idea of raising them even more over time though, as you accumulate compost and materials to fill them with! As always, looking forward to your next video! So good to see sweet Suzi have the strength to do all this! Praise God for His mercies and blessings!

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

Never a dull moment ! You’ll always have something to do ❤

[@CarolLoch-ww7po]

Well you have your dirt for the veg bed's x 🎉

[@carolynewilliams1194]

It’s like making omelets. Gotta crack some eggs! One task leads to another! You’re going to be busy for a while. Very interesting thought. Perhaps you should turn your meadow into a temporary camp air and invite volunteers to come and help you? Don’t expect to see me there though, I’m going through a thing similar to what Suzie has been going through. So I won’t be up to it. Sorry! ❤

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Yes, you're right, one thing seems to lead to another here, but it's exciting peeling back the past. So sorry you're going through something similar too me, it's not easy is it, everyday's a battle isn't it, but I'm going to fight this exciting one, best wishes to you, Suzie 🤗 xx

[@annegretewardrope5668]

Loved it thank you, very interesting 😊

[@CynthiaBerry713]

A raised bed is anything raised off the ground, which yours are, so yes they ARE raised beds. There is no set in stone heighth. Smh.

[@annettesharrock1236]

Looks like you have a bigger job to do than expected Rols😂..a path seems the way. Hope your van is sorted out as you will have to empty all that rubbish to go to the tip.Yes probably the battery the problem short journeys do not do any good. A s suggested below we Or I now have a couple of then left on our vehicles in France they do help charge if not used regularly. Loved watching Suzie and Rols . Take care😘

[@agnesgosling3347]

As always Suzie and Rols highly entertaining and so enjoyable well done both.👍👍

[@marydeloach5962]

Life is an adventure! I sure enjoy the way you live it! Wishing you many more interesting good times. Mary in San Francisco

[@katherineleavitt7275]

I laughed out loud when Suzie said she thought the path of the stones was going to the left and not straight like Rols was digging. She didn't want to bother Rols but!! You might have to dig up the whole yard!!! It just might be a courtyard!!! Kathy USA 🇺🇸

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

😂 🤣

[@susanamann1806]

Stone steps, for back door or fence by road , could use probe to find the stone walkway limit before digging

[@NatMCI]

Pathway or courtyard.... RUN ROLS RUNNNNN !!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good laughs and fantastic video. Love those granite slabs. It looks like the stone used for tombstones before being carved!!!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Natasha 😂 xx

[@TinaCarstens-r7p]

Absolutely love love love this video. So nice to see you unfold the mysteries. I so enjoy your journey. My favorite channel. Best wishes Tina 😘🇾🇪

[@lynneh9744]

Was it ever farmed ie a dairy herd with a milking shed? Because that raised platform of granite, next to the filled in narrower gap in wall, looks a lot like the platforms farmers in the UK used to have outside thier yards to put dairy churns on ready for collection by the milk float from dairy. The milk would be emptied out of the churns into tank on milk van or float, and the emptied churns put back onto the platform ready for farmer to recollect to clean and refill for next collection.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Oh, that's really interesting, thank you for this information Lynn ☺

[@gloriasmestad3803]

You two are really on a voyage of discovery! Probably a courtyard of some size. Was your property a Relais de Post? If so, a goodly portion of the walled area could have been stone so the wheeled vehicles wouldn’t get stuck in the mud

[@nancywhite1439]

Rols, Could this lovely place be made into a courtyard with all those beautiful stone tiles….surely much work….but would be beautiful with Susie’s lavender surround!

[@daynight4902]

BEST TO YOU

[@claudebernardin1096]

I love you guys. ❤I sense frustration. You do have a lot to contend with. 😳🤔 my two cents? Just focus on immediate survival and peaceful existence. Your specific needs. And the rest for other days, months, years. Rethink digging up a courtyard. I’d leave it and get on with living needs. These other jobs can wait. Plant your food crops. Make a nice spot to rest in shade and bbq and drink tea and such. Focus on storage barn. House. Lessen your burden of worry if you can. I will pray for you both. You’re good people. 🙏❤️

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks for your kind comments Claude 🤗

[@grammasgardenofideas5081]

maybe some of those rocks u r collecting could be part of the parking pad for your van

[@giacomoforesti]

E un gran bel lavoro non scoraggiarti

[@bioyac]

I love what you’re doing and I’m enjoying the adventure from afar! Thank you :-)

[@lorelebeverland5585]

I remember you clearing that parking space for the van. So much work. But it sure is interesting and curious. Those huge granite slabs are a neat discovery.

[@CindieShatto]

In the USA, these are called Raised Beds. lol

[@machellep1]

We will dig it ! Since in the past, people didn’t have lawns like in modern days, they had stone courtyards to stop dust and dirt from horses and other livestock, you very well may have a full stone courtyard buried under that grass. The question is do you want to leave the grass or remove it ?

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Could be, but we think since digging more out, it just runs along the front there, phew! No wouldn't get rid of the grass there now xx

[@terrysuemakesvideosforyou9940]

Could this have been where the Chapel was located? Like you said, the wall is different behind the slabs of granite. So much to do! Have a good week!

[@joannemacintyre251]

If you want to use the same spot for the van and still have a worry re start up, why not just back it in instead. Then maybe the terminals can be reached easier that way.😊

[@ladonnafuoco2684]

Those stones by the fence I heard were so they could court their sweetheart over the fence!

[@louiseemerson331]

Another great video where the chateau keeps on giving and surprising! The granite slabs are beautiful! As Suzie said, they will make nice steps somewhere.

[@jimhirst]

Hi. If you don't use your motor much don't forget you can get a small solo pannel resting on your dashboard which will keep the battery topped up for months.

[@lorelebeverland5585]

great idea.

[@joannemacintyre251]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@nancibishof6462]

Those slabs would make great steps and the tiles are a treasure. I like the idea of a pedestrian gate.

[@carolesmith6620]

Very interesting find,the slabs will make a lovely path in your garden nice find plenty of jobs to keep you both going and like you said nice granite for some steps nice job take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗

[@DEEDEE-cn1ud]

A good start on that project. Rest your back tomorrow from all that digging and lifting of stones. I agree, those granite slabs could have been for exterior stairs on your property... or even an entry way to the house. The search will have to continue to test out the path.

[@nelleg152]

Very interesting I wonder what you will find ❤

[@wyldchild346]

Discovery Domino's of the Citadelle.....LOL All caught up binge watching over the last two weeks. Best vlogs on YT! You two are Precious! and the doggies too!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Oh, that's so nice of you to say, thank you xx

[@rozbarber3195]

Poor Rols. Another surprise waiting for you. The château that keeps on giving you her secrets and psychic Suzie finding them! How anyone could say your vlogs are boring is obviously suffering from visual impairment and a definite lack of a sense of humour! I’m loving the adventures. What else are you going to find….. can’t wait!!

[@evakinney3152]

The granite would make great steps or even just one at the entrance to an outbuilding. Would it be faster to use a pressure washer to find the cobbles?

[@peterwhite9261]

Rols, by now, I am sure Suzie can read your mind. At least, somewhat. 😂 Those big slab stones can be used for so much. I look forward to parts 2, 3, and 4.❤

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

That would explain a lot 😂😂 Thanks Peter, see you next time, Rols

[@sallymoffit3751]

You have a lifetime supply of stone on the property. Your muscles must be screaming. Glad you can continue laughing.

[@GraceSmith-e3o]

Love watching a good tidy up🥰

[@lisac1110]

Beutiful big stones they would make great stairs somewhere since i dont think you climb over the wall lol all the best ❤😊❤😊

[@VintageLPs]

I have a Toyota RAV4 that has gone through four batteries in four years. There is obviously a dead fuse drawing down the batteries but no one seems to be able to figure out which one. I, therefore, remove the negative battery cable when the car is sitting in my garage and reconnect it before I run errands. No more battery problems! Quite a collection of granite, rocks and slabs you have there for future projects. A little rain and they will continue to multiply. 😅

[@someoneelsemothermother8259]

I'm sitting here say "what put the extra rocks in the old out house. No you can make a rock border or a rock garden. The things I've done in my life to get to rocks. 😅 You seem to have them growing everywhere. I'll watch you dig, sort metal, wash widows, play with the dogs etc 😊 I just enjoy watching the two of you. Power on

[@someoneelsemothermother8259]

Should not write when tried. 😂

[@grammasgardenofideas5081]

the rock slabs looks like it might hv been a statue? with a little flat patio in front to sit on. or it is a burial plot and u just released the ghosts. hahaha.

[@HoltEllen]

It's another mystery!

[@penihavir1777]

So many discoveries in one day! More than you hoped for. 😉 The square tiles looked nice. I wonder, if you don’t find a new use for the granite blocks, perhaps you could sell them to fund something that you do want. If I lived in the same country, I would enjoy coming over to dig out a path for a day. But unfortunately I live an ocean and half a continent away. 😢

[@davidlyon2690]

how about the big blocks being the steps to take you down to road level but never got used

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Yes, that's our thinking, who knows with this place!

[@sparrowkay]

That could be a rock car park…

[@chateaudelannoy]

am not using that shampoo for the few i have left thank you 🤣 nice thick beams for the beds👍always finding new things in a big place like that , much love Yves

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Yves. Oh, that's a shame, we were going to send it to you, there is some clay stuff in there which apparently is good for your skin if you'd like some, might make your hair grow too! 😂 🤣

[@jennichristie5264]

Fascinating find. Might be nice for have a few paths!

[@chiffonslumierdominique3297]

Well it looks like an animal d'eau place, is there any inscription ?

[@janscorza7549]

Check the other side of the wall to see if they’re are any stone “steps” on that side. Looks like an entryway into your garden.

[@kathibrooks1401]

I am so excited. Hope you keep digging

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you Kathi ❤️

[@pattimeredith9621]

Love digging videos!!! Keep at it!

[@lindabaker2905]

Of course we “dig” dig videos 😂‼️

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

That's a relief 😂😂

[@Lea-bw9wj]

You need to get Time Team out and see what discoveries they can find. Also get them to do all the digging

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

😂😂

[@helenhelps9619]

Well I have watched everything now I have to wait for your next video. 👍👍🏰🏰

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Hello Helen, well done for enduring the binge watching 😂 Next episode has just uploaded 😊

[@charmees6637]

I was a bit concerned about you lifting those rocks/stones, etc. Be careful my Dear we don’t want you getting a back injury. Very interesting what is on the property though

[@marilynwade9448]

. Always something interesting going on with you two. What did those big bolders go to? The slabs are huge

[@Kiwigal17]

They could have been used as steps ❤

[@RobertEdward-y7b]

Jet washing quicker and more effective

[@jacquelinefannin1957]

I do like digging videos 😁❤

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

That's a relief 😂

[@claudebernardin1096]

Hmmmm was it the base for A religious statue or Memorial? Are those slabs covering a well or cistern? Seems like an awful lot of fuss and bother to place all that there just for an entrance?

[@DB.scale.models]

Take your green cart and hook it to your green tractor. But that's why I am fat and no you.

[@coby6417]

🌟👏👍🍀💐

[@patcardiff2563]

Do you ever ache when you get up in the morning from all the hard work from the day before you lift ever such a lotxxxxxx

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Hello Pat, most days are ok, the occasional ache but tend to work them off

[@Mej_Javiky]

Maybe the granite slabs were obtained with the intention of making stairs

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you for watching. It's a possibility.

[@southernboycookin5383]

I know my observations will appear irrelevant, but I have to take note: the British say: Bat-tree, while we Americans say: Bat-a-ree. Interesting.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Reminds me of the Gershwin song "You say tomayto, I say tomarto" 😂😂

[@megrawlins6358]

Don't you think those slabs may have been the steps down to the road?

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you for watching. We were told by the previous owner that they were from the cemetery, probably the easiest place to place them over the wall

[@tealeafsen]

BIG OLD water WELL AND town WELL HOUSE.? Do Not Fall in.......

[@KeithWiggins-xc1sf]

Whats the shock discovery ?

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Finding a path where the big stones are, where we thought there could be an entrance

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

'Surprising' discovery or just 'discovery' doesn't have the same affect
