We are Tony and Jane and we are living in and renovating our old Relais De Poste/Coaching Inn.
We live in the middle of France in a region called The Berry.
We have over 40 rooms to renovate so there is plenty of work to be done. We also love to trawl the local Brocantes, flea markets and antique shops for quirky furnishings and furniture.
We love to find out about local history and often visit other peoples buildings including our friends’ Chateaux.

Nice of Patrick and Stuart to give Tony some help. For Tony and Tracey there's a lot to do in the little cottage,like the pink wall to give it an other color.

[@amysimpson646]

Jane, I laughed out loud at your and Tony's banter. " You do the filming, Jane" 🤭 Tony would be lost without you.

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

We like to make you laugh Amy x

[@JohnSeefeldt]

Your flowers in your courtyard look very nice.

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Thanks John x

[@patriciathompson350]

Love the humour ❤

[@cheriesharp234]

I had to laugh as my other half has a twatter when something is stuck he twats it. Lol always love to see Patrick and Stuart helping each other out. Plus lovely to see Simon and Vivian too. Xx

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Handy things twatters LOL Cherie x

[@sanco511]

So nice to add curtains

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Yes 😊

[@Stacia-ep9vr]

Hello Jane! I am a fan since your first vlog. I have always been impressed with your camera work and editing to produce such quality vlogs. Your shots are beautiful, your commentary is cute, and your consistency to keep vlogs coming is appreciated. The birthday footage gives several different takes on the party and people in it. I showed my sister the episode when Tony. [master of most anything] made P & S front gate. Then, I went back last month and watched their episodes from the start. I also showed her the tree off breadhouse episode, and subsequent flooding updates and now she occasionally tunes in to both channels. My favorite of late, is your fishing of the large limb out of the river---all that fishing and nothing to eat from it. (forgot-also showed Stef the wedding & coronation parties because they were so beautiful!) keep the vlogs coming!!! Love from Ohio!

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Wow, thank you for those lovely comments Stacia x

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

At least it’s Artex and not wood-chip wallpaper 😂😂

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Both are pretty bad Steve

[@pennyneal2456]

I think that Tony needs a t shirt that says “oh, yes”. 😊

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Oh Yes Penny LOL

[@rosebud-ame]

😂

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Still waiting for the Tee shirt with ‘Are You Ready’ !!! 😂

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Love seeing you having fun with my other two favourite Cancerians. A wonderful connection you four have❤❤❤ Your Tony is so funny, you do the camera Jane. Does he realise you are pointing things out for the rest of us? Me handyman superstar you Jane🥳🥳🥳🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤ gotta love him

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

🤗thank you Susie

[@cherylmcnair5594]

Patrick and Stuart are great cooks their dishes always look delicious. I made one of their recipes, it was chocolate fudge toffee. Looks like you had a lovely evening with new friends. Those little birds were quite clever. Tony’s instructions to ‘do the filming’ are very funny 😂

[@lildavis7579]

If you spray paint it all a lite warm grey or antique white, it would way bigger clean and fresh and bigger use mirrors to expand the space visually , loved this video thanx , LILLE MARIE

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Great idea Lille Marie, thanks

[@pamkullman8839]

Patrick would have a hard time with those tight spaces in your friend’s place. My brother is super tall but skinny and he would go nuts banging his head all of the time😂

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

It was a bit of a squeeze Pam x

[@judiehavard4903]

You are good friends and neighbors to take care of things for them. With the electrics and the curtains. 👍

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Thanks Judie, it's nice to be nice x

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Nice to see those two lads with you, you all seem to help each other from time to time, which is very commendable 👏👏

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Yes we do Steve x

[@delightfuldesignsbydenise9710]

Nice…1 of your friends is taking on that salon come home.

[@danielleboely6820]

So glad you helping each other

[@lorilarkin827]

Oh my those stairs 😮. Hopefully the all the fledglings survived . Thanks for sharing Jane and Tony. Nice to Stuart and Patrick giving Tony a helping hand .

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

You’re welcome Jane 😊

[@normamurray4450]

Friends helping friends...wonderful!!!

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Surprised that the local cat hasn’t enjoyed a baby bird dinner.

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

That's what I was worried about Steve, but luckily not

[@attract1234]

Great as always Jane, Xx

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Thanks so much 😊

[@nelleg152]

A lot going on really enjoyed watching ❤

[@RonRobertson-lafrance]

I did enjoy that! I'm back home up north (left Patrick and Stuart's place this morning). It was so much fun meeting you and Tony! Hope to see you again soon, either down there or up here! Hugs to you both.

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

It was lovely to meet you too Ron xx

[@sheilaosullivan3056]

Hello Jane and Tony, I do think you will get to the 10 ,000 quite soon. Both you and Tony are always doing kind things for others and it’s nice to see the favours returned. It’s so good to hear you laughing again Jane and getting out and about more. 😘🇨🇮

[@jenh9252]

Love that little house of Tony Paint

[@LynBritten]

Regarding the little bird, you may have to catch it and put it somewhere higher, I understand that they can't take off from the ground...xxx

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Thanks Lyn, it hopped up the logs in the woodpile and eventually took off from there x

[@thewilliamseswonderfulworld]

That crème brûlée looked so good! The cute birds are cute!

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

It was delicious x

[@sorcha259]

Lovely video Jane 😊🌸💐🌺🪴🍷

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Thank you Sorcha 🤗

[@suehall3298]

[@ruthdixon7556]

Tony you have patience i would got the angle grinder out but you did it and not a bad word said ..lol😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Thanks Ruth x

[@raynonabohrer5624]

Great job Tony.. I think you need to leave the Shir.Just like it is. Only put in a ship's window. And thank you at sea when you're in this shower. And I think it would be pretty easy.

[@JetteBell-cs6nb]

Lovely to see you again. Recovering from covid which I got a couple of days after returning from France😢

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Oh no! hope you're feeling better real soon xx

[@TerriJansma-dn8go]

Do you have tankless water heaters in France? So effective and it takes up very little space. I love each episode you put out. Thanks so much!

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Not that I know of Terri, I think they are gas but we don't have town gas here x

[@penihavir1777]

🙂♥️👍

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Bonjour x

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

First again Steve x

[@Francis-kw9ui]

Can you put frames into the bathroom doors sliding with glass panels to add light, even a skylight

[@_Tiamat_.]

💜💙💚

[@barbarawaldorf330]

My question is why are water heaters up near the ceiling? In the USA it's on the floor and usually in the basement. No risk of falling down.

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

I assume it was because they wanted to squeeze it into the bathroom Barbara, and there wasn't enough floor space.

[@genevieverenoud-grappin1399]

Bonjour, j adore vos blogs. Pourquoi ne pas appeler ce joli petit chat Frimousse...

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

C'est notre plaisir Genevieve

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

There seems to be a lot of wasted space in that cupboard of the electrical box…… is that a stone wall I can see ?

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Yes it's probably going to be redesigned, and yes stone wall behind

[@genevieverenoud-grappin1399]

J aimerais vous proposer lustres, objets d église et meubles pour votre château mais je ne trouve pas votre mail afin de vous envoyer des photos. Cordialement

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Si vous allez sur la page de notre chaîne, où il est écrit "Nous sommes Tony et Jane..." Cliquez sur "plus", cela vous amènera à la page "À propos" où se trouve un bouton pour afficher notre adresse e-mail.Thank you Genevieve x

[@maureenivory342]

Couldn't live in that house with those stairs. Couldn't make out anything you were all speaking at the same time and you laughing into mic and butting in all the time when Tony was working He was getting a bit annoyed

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

The stairs are a bit tight Maureen yes, sorry you couldn't make out what we were saying but it was more about what we were doing x

[@jenh9252]

Too much mutual utubing going on😮 at the dinner. I would hate not being able to eat my pudding because someone pushing their money making channel wanted to photograph it.

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

It's what we do Jen, otherwise you would not have all our vlogs to watch x
