Follow our journey as we renovate an abandoned ancient old farmhouse we bought and creating a off grid homestead by being self-sufficient growing our own food and creating an orchid for fruit, managing our own fire wood with our two woodlands to give us free heating and hot water and making every thing we need in our renovation like the doors, windows, floors, staircases, Kitchen, panelling, bathroom, porch, and many more projects as I'm a Carpenter & Joiner using my skills to build this dream which you can see in lots of our videos we have all ready loaded up on our channel and also we will be sharing our crafts and also Tracy will be doing all the soft furnishings in our farm house on our homestead. So come join Tracy and I Budo on this amazing journey and way of living.

I think that Budo and Tracy didn’t mean to appear somewhat forgetful or seemingly dismissive about us as extremely loyal fans and devoted viewers. We may not be paying patrons but we are true and consistent participants who deeply appreciate the I interaction and the “relationship” grown over the years. We do feel like family Tracy and Budo and we will miss the intimacy of weekly posts and at the same time we understand your needs and the changes that require attention. I am happy for all of your hard earned progress. Labor of Love. It is very well earned and you are very much deserving of all good happenings. We do not own a piece of you as viewers and must remember to enjoy a mutual exchange and kindred-ship that for many of us has grown quite near and dear over time. You have been especially generous with how and what you exchange. Your impact on thousands of lives has been so amazing and I know that the two of you could never take that lightly. It must leave you both in awe and feeling responsible in a way. With respect, admiration, best wishes and Love, Elizabeth in Arizona

[@jeannettesmyth7643]

You're very kind, which I appreciate; But if all the real content is going to be saved for British TV, and, as in this new video, we get long stretches of Budo strimming and Tracy painting and an interminable commercial for kit almost none of us can use, I think we are being rewarded for years of faithful subscribership with a significantly more shoddy product -- by long and often-repeated calculation.

[@geoffgreen5662]

I am continually impressed by the quality of the work. Thanks for sharing

I was not kicked off of this channel but was on others.

[@williamlawrence9875]

Budo and Tracey, Please keep going - I love your channel. I am amazed that you do not get more hits more quickly. It is a real pleasure to watch real masters of your trades so to speak. We live in France also and we have renovated just the inside of an old Maison du Maitre about 100 years old. I started 12 years ago and just wish I could have watched your videos before I had started. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I just know when someone is doing something very well. It is a pleasure to watch you both. It has always seemed very strange to me that people with no clue and botching can grow to vast numbers for their videos !!! C'est la vie. Bon courage. William ( A retired Surgeon) !!!

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Wow William thank you for your kind words sir I am humbled to know you was a surgeon a man who would know how to use tools of your profession and best of all to save peoples life's you guys are the ones that should be on the wages of these international footballers not the air bag kickers I call them thank you for your service to humanity William 😀 all the best Budo

[@AD-hs2bq]

Growth-it’s a process. At a certain point profitability in the monetary sense begins to feed on itself, “catching on”. Keep thinking abundantly instead of pulling back. Money is not the only profit. Sites that are positive and creative catch on faster. Viewers are interested in and find inspiration in your journey. Don’t buy into the consciousness of lack. You are a positive force.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you for constructive comment and we will take it all on board thank you for watching 🙏🏻😻xx

[@ronniemensch2400]

I have missed you. The one thing I do every time I watch a vlog it is the first thing I do, I click the thumbs up! I do it before I watch because sometimes the auto feed comes on, even though I do not set it, it just happens, and there is not time to click the like. I like first, then watch. I love watching you both, whether it be Tracy gardening, crafting, cooking, or the many other things she does. I also pay close attention to Budo's explanations when he is doing carpentry, masonry, etc. work. I find you both give very clear explanations and it is wonderful to see your home coming together with love. I can not afford to become a patreon and I know I miss out on all the extra that you share with those who are. I also do not often make a comment, but not because I have not enjoyed your content because I do and I am amazed at how much you both accomplish. I will try to comment each vlog to help your channel grow. You have had negative press and that upsets me. No one deserves that. But you will always get the haters, just shrug them off, and if possible block them. I have never been kicked of anyone's channel, may be because I always click like first, then watch. Your home is coming along beautifully. As I have said before I would love to have someone of your caliber of work to help us renovate our home. 11 yrs and still the 2 rooms we began are not finished. Take care. from Saskatchewan, Canada

Absolutely have loved your vlogs since the beginning. I follow some of the chateau channels as well but can only imagine myself owning and restoring a farmhouse like yours. Hubby and I are a similar age to you both. Our tastes must be similar too as I have loved all your style and decor decisions. Lol Hubby is a practical man, a scaffolder and rigger in the mines of Western Australia, and I'm a mad cook who is learning to crochet... You are actually living the life that I have always dreamed of. So I wish you both not only success but the joy of fulfilling your own dreams. I hope that I can enjoy watching your journey for years to come. Hugs from Perth, Western Australia

Glad tosee you back, missed you. Good news on the tv channel hopefully it will help drive more people to you. When it goes live make sure you give us all the details and if the programme has a KZbin channel comment and introduce yourself and put your KZbin details so anyone reading their comments can find you. Wonder if it is worth having a second channel featuring Budo's construction projects as he always explains how he makes things this might pick up the diyers who wouldn't necessarily watch a channel on homesteading or French house renovation. Use the same videos you already have re edit and keep them short. Check what is out there. You deserve more subscribers. ❤

It’s so good to have you guys back!! Congrats on the new tv series, can’t wait to watch that too. I love your videos and make sure to like immediately when I start watching as I know how much that helps your channel. I did notice earlier this year that KZbin kept removing my subscriptions from the smaller channels so I now check each and every time I like a video to make sure I’m still subscribed. So disappointing to hear how hard they make it for the smaller channels. It’s a bit of an oxymoron… You can’t grow without being shared by the algorithms and we can’t subscribe if we don’t get a chance to find new channels 🤦‍♀️ Stick at it guys, I am loving how beautiful you’re making your home ❤

Hi Susan l have in the past did the same but as a rule l do not cook them. But l am growing and cook suede a lot and l often use it instead of potatoes to mash with butter and nutmeg and Parsnips we love in soup and also baked with carrots and honey and l put shredded parsnips in my cottage pie ooh lm feeling hungary 🤣😅xx

[@trishmatthews5379]

Really enjoy watching your videos, but I do have a small suggestion to make, why not open a second youtube channel to cover Budo doing his fantastic woodwork only. It does sometimes get a bit too technical for us ordinary folk, but I know lots of viewers enjoy and understand that. More cooking, making furnishings and gardening from Tracy may be the answer too.

Hi Trish thank you for your good suggestion we was thinking of starting a wood working channel and will look into it a bit more but as Tracy said we wouldn't be able to run to youtube channels as we wouldn't have the time so it might just have to be this channel or the wood working one which we will give it some more thought thanks again all the best Budo xx

[@RuthDunstan]

I think it can take a while to build a channel, I have seen a few grow very slowly. I love the craftsmanship you both display. I let the ads run as I figure if KZbin is making money off you they will send you to more people.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you so much Ruth we really appreciate it and yes it does take a long time for the smaller channels to grow. Bon weekend to you 🙏🏻😻xx

[@lizhart9]

Grt update of all your hard work- they house porch and front room look fabulous- cant wait to see the wall paper too. I have one comment to make Budo that in your enthusiasm I feel sometimes Tracey gets cut off and doesn't have enough time to finish her 'story'. Maybe you could both do some separate pieces of filming and still also come together for joint comments xxx

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you we are so glad you enjoyed the video and we will take this onboard thank you 😊 xx

[@rosemariehajar1441]

U could have dug up the ferns and replanted them around the house in containers, they look great like that.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Hi Patricia there bracken not ferns there a massive weed here but if they were ferns we would have dug them up and moved them thank you 😊

I find that when I try to click on only the LIKE button my computer insists that I Subscribe first before I can LIKE. I have never been Unsubscribed by KZbin. Fabulous content and good for you to get on TV. Wish I could watch it in Canada when it comes out.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you and glad you are enjoying the videos. Bon weekend to you 🥰🙏🏻xx

[@patriciaelsberry8360]

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Glad you enjoyed it thank you for watching 😻🙏🏻

[@CliveCocks-t3y]

As much as I admire what you do I didn’t think mainstream tv like you doing you tube while they are involved in making a show about you

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

So glad you do we are not the only ones they are filming and we have told them we have a KZbin channel and we will be filming and they are happy 😀 xx

[@judymurray6524]

Some of the Chateau vloggers talk about being film for TV and Dan (Escape to Rural France) sometimes shows the TV camera person in his KZbin vlogs

[@PatHannam-s8h]
