French Country Journal: Life through the seasons
Stories from a Farmhouse kitchen and herb garden
Welcome to a hidden corner of the Berry in the heart of rustic, hidden France.
Join Ruth, Nigel, and our tabby cat Sybil (who wandered in, bedraggled, and never left) as we try to live a simpler, frugal, slower life - rooted in seasonal rhythms, rustic recipes, and a touch of French countryside magic.
This channel is a mixture of:
🍞 Farmhouse kitchen recipes
🌿 Herb gardening and potager life
🧵 Preserving, patchwork and frugal tips
🍂 Silent vlogs and mindful countryside moments
We share the landscape with wild boar, deer, glow-worms, woodpeckers, hawks and hedgehogs. As the seasons shift, so does the focus of life.

Frugal French Living: A Countryside Journal
Is anyone interested in joining a live stream Journal Club - journalling prompts once a month? I could do this as a live stream on the channel. Maybe at 21:00 hrs Paris time? Maybe on a Wednesday. I think that would work for a lot of viewers. It should be easy to set up - let me know if interested - Ruth

Frugal French Living: A Countryside Journal
I set up a different channel for the mindful stress reduction videos I used to post on this channel - it seemed to need a channel dedicated to that. For those who are interested in this I've just started a new series on building a Serenity Stress reduction Toolkit. The first video is up there.
