Preparing for Spring in the Countryside - Resetting the Garden (and Myself)

A slower, longer episode this week. I wanted to let the moments breathe. If you’re watching on your TV with a cup of tea, or keeping me company while you cook or fold laundry, this one is for you. This week, I prepare the garden for spring — clearing what no longer belongs, planting what might grow, and slowly reshaping the space around me. Somewhere between brocante finds, lake walks, cooking, and turning soil, I realized I wasn’t just resetting the garden. I was resetting myself. Living in rural France has taught me that transformation doesn’t have to be loud. Sometimes it’s just showing up for a week, one small task at a time. Thank you for being here, quietly. If you enjoy these slower, more cinematic episodes, let me know in the comments — it helps me shape what this space becomes. 👇 Say hello in the comments – I always love hearing from you. 00:00 Monday 04:00 New Antique Finds 08:30 Working out & Hip Appointment 10:03 Tuesday 12:37 Shopping in La Rochefoucauld 13:50 Vegan Brioche & Cozy Evening 14:57 Wednesday 16:04 Gardening & Bye Bye Boat 19:20 Lunch 21:58 Thursday 23:29 Countryside Walk 24:40 Decorative Plates 25:06 Garden Result 26:48 Friday: Dechetterie & Garden looking good 28:25 Wind Down: Bathtime & Apéro — Stay connected: 🌍 Website: ledemichateau.com 📸 Instagram: @le_demi_chateau 🧡 Support:   / ledemichateau   — Favorite books, cooking tools and everyday items from the château: https://www.amazon.com/shop/lifewitha...
