Thanks Tony 😊

[@sanco511]

The rock garden looking good!!

[@wyldchild346]

Big large Square Stones Placed in the Shade or "a View" to set your Rear End on. Today I am taking out 3 long stones to be used as corner stones in my Rock Garden to catch the watering hoses, and replacing those with a Butt stone for my Rear End. LOL Lovely to see the LOVE you have for each other. Love does exist!

[@macmcstar]

Totally agree, wonderful to see.

[@lisac1110]

Thanks 😅

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

Hi Rols and Suzie. Love the rock garden. It’s going to be amazing when the flowers come up . Suzie be careful of your amount in the sun. Might mess with your medicine. Rols, I wasn’t sure what that think was you found. Given the history there I was afraid it was a land mine😅. My imagination is getting the best of me. I like exactly where the wood wheel is against that wall. I never imagined that it would be so heavy! ❤❤❤

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

😂 Thanks Kathy, yes, you never know what you might dig up in these places! Actually, the weather caught us out really, hadn't expected it to be that hot, not so this week though, back to normal again, you're right I should watch out. Many thanks, Suzie xx

[@lorelebeverland5585]

Love the rock work.At first I thought you were taking the rocks out and leveling it. Looks like a no. 10 cast iron lid and a Clydesdale horsehoe. Yard looks fantastic. The snow has finally melted, we had our first 60f day. Moving to my son's who has a large yard to work on. Yah.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Lorele, glad it's finally thawing out where you are, have fun working on the yard xx

[@barbibaumgartner6229]

Your rockery looks amazing as does all of the garden areas!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Barbi ❤️

[@peterwhite9261]

Great gardening work. Good finds with the horseshoe, and it looks like an old drain cover? Glad you got the acro pole, thanksMichelle. Take care both.❤.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Peter, first thought is that it is an old cast iron pot lid, i'll probably find the pot in there somewhere 😂

[@agnesgosling3347]

As always you two are very industrious and the weather looks lovely please send some of your sunshine to a cold ,wet ,grey Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍

[@janegendreau6595]

It is amazing how the weather changes so quickly & drastically!! It's doing the same here, a world away from the Citadelle! Love the beginnings of the Rock garden! It will be lovely to watch it evolve into your vision for it!! Have a great rest of your week, Rols & Suzie! 🇺🇸🦋

[@christinecox8073]

Love the rock garden I really enjoy your vlogs thanks for sharing ❤

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Christine ❤️

[@NatMCI]

The rockery will look stunning when finished. I always loved rockeries!!!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Natasha, we've been busy planting it up today xx

[@daisylovelock9553]

Love the ways that your dog tries to help😅, at least it gives you a breather. Goodness me, that wheel looked very heavy, probably saturated. Garden is coming on in leaps and groans😂😂. Ours is still too wet to weed, so I'm calling it re-wilded😂😂 Have a great week.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you Daisy, these wheels are so big and heavy. We're only just starting to weed here, been far too wet to do anything, weather miserable again this week though 😔

[@sallymoffit3751]

You are teaching me how to do this in our mountain garden. Thanks

[@jonimarchese7655]

His Susie and Rols, the rock garden is looking so good, so is the garden, you are working so hard, that a nice dinner outside with your beverage of choice is a perfect way to end the day. Love from N.Y.

[@creativecottage6137]

Good to see you sitting in your garden!

[@charmees6637]

Loving your Rockgarden. Here in Sydney Australia we’re still getting really hot 28+ days in Autumn it was a long hot summer. There’s nothing like an outdoor dinner yum! 😋

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Charmee, wow, it must have been hot, we're back to around 13/14° this week, it's so chargeable, some rain and very windy again! 🤔

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

I haven’t seen every episode you’ve made, so surely I missed a bit of your story about your motivation to come to France, what your employment was in the UK previously…..why that région of France…. Maybe you just fell in love with the property ? ❤ Really enjoy your channel !

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Marianne, we rented a friend's place about 40mins from here during lockdown etc, liked the location, not too far down south and hot and far enough to get away from the English weather. We feel in love with this place for it's history and seclusion and safe for the dogs 🐶☺

[@daynight4902]

BEST

[@machellep1]

I can rest easy knowing the barn isn’t going to drop on your heads .

[@sandyfry9306]

So glad i found you again!!!

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you, see you next time ❤️

[@helen9379]

I bet you'd get extra views if you dig out the path from the wall. There is a channel called the corner house project where a couple have been digging out a stone courtyard. They were surprised how many people were interested in watching them uncover the stones.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Yes, we've been watching them too, watch this space! 🤗

[@southernboycookin5383]

Everything is looking so awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@someoneelsemothermother8259]

I love it looks wonderful. 😊 you've made me so happy. Wow and the food yum. Thank you honey. Lol

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@nelleg152]

The rockery is coming along nicely ❤

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thank you ❤️

[@user-px2ys7kg9s]

The rockery looks so lovely, I like the look. Diner looks yummy. Loved watching. Best wishes Tina 🇾🇪😘

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

Thanks Tina 🤗

[@bettychandler341]

Wouldn’t leave the wheel laying in the dirt either, get it up off the ground. Perhaps put one or a few of the stones underneath it. Having it on the ground will rot the wood.

[@chateaucitadelleducavalier]

It's ok Betty it's resting on the stone gully ☺

[@tamithirion7766]

Enjoying seeing the rockery development, nice job 🤗👍

[@gelsilicawalker3835]

Hi I tried to acess your wishlist but it says the link has expired, wondering if the problem is my end not sure? Thanks. Could I ask the plans to mend that roof is there a go fund me or something towards it? Gardens are looking amazing and the bay hedge is a wonderful idea.
