Anybody else watch this? I’m fascinated & although it’s not remotely like anything else I watch, I love it! I love him. I love her. (Dick Strawbridge & Angel Adoree) I haven’t seen that many episodes, but his engineering savvy & enthusiasm is ace. Her creativity makes me a bit envious!

I am prepared to be told it’s tit! I do have weird taste - I was also fangirling over Mario Van Peebles in the new Z Nation.

No, I adore them! (jeez, don't think I've ever said that about anyone let alone strangers on a telly programme!). Go right back and watch them from the beginning, what strikes me about them is they are incredibly talented, extremely hard working and have such a lovely relationship. There's no doubt how hard they work but they take everything in their stride and make everything look easy. Bloody hell my husband and I would be murdering one another in a project like that. Their outlook about their home and them being merely temporary custodians is so true and how they have brought life to that magnificent building is jaw dropping. Love, love, love them!!

So, I won't tell you it is crap. 😂
 
Oooooh fantastic. Right I am definitely going to watch from the beginning. I watched one yesterday where they got their copper pans re-tinned - who am I? I was loving it & might have been on eBay looking for copper pans! I don’t even cook!! :ROFLMAO: Him building the yurt on the pontoon too - like how is he so skilled?

when she turned out the lights & they were watching the stars - you can tell they adore each other. And they’re not typical tv presenter type folk - just obviously very talented & as you say, hard working. I’m a lazy arse & they make me feel guilty I haven’t got my patio garden looking nice!!
 
I actually worry about their lack of downtime. Seriously, Dick works so hard to get things done, they have small people (I think there are two), and Angel (Angela) spends so much time finding things for them. The way they set up for weddings is incredible. The pod on the lake amazed me. Only downside, is that there is no way on this planet that I would create a part of my chateau for the in-laws to lig along. Big up for the lovely tortie puss.

the in-laws moving in had me going WHAAAAT? And he even built her a walk-in wardrobe! The cheeky cow asked for one too!:ROFLMAO:

Yayyyyyyyyy I’ve found my happy place! I just want to go hang out with them, but I fear I’m way too lazy. :oops:
 
My husband is so happy about this thread! My mum had been telling him about it and he flicked onto it earlier in the year and has been hooked ever since. I watch when I have time, but absolutely loved last weeks episode, the children’s circus tent and the Averys were amazing, it’s so beautiful. I love their work ethic and they just seem so happy.
 
Love them both I mean every woman needs a Dick in her life that man works so bloody hard and you can tell how much he dotes on Angel, Arthur & Dorothy... I love Angel’s vintage style and the way she’s so good at making mismatched items look like they all belong together ... I looked up the price once at staying for a weekend they do an exclusive “ food “ experience.... I won’t be booking anytime soon unless I win the lottery.
 
There’s more on now. Featuring a huge glamping dome, bbq, new toilet & kitchen for the happy glampers. But how the duck does Angel manage in her cute shoes? Like even her wellies are “cute”. If that was me, I’d be wearing a lot of Lycra (pats belly) & waders. So sexy! No wonder there’s no Dick in my life.

Angel & Dorothy in Paris in gorgeous kimonos!! Who does that? Not me, ffs! I need to re-evaluate my life. Can we film it?
 
Her kimonos, dressing gowns and turbans are fabulous! At home I wear kimono inspired dressing gowns, over torn leggings and T-shirts full of holes. I have not yet advanced to turban level, but I think I'm heading there.
She is wonderfully creative and he reminds me of my late father, with the walrus mustache and being able to do whatever my mother set her mind to. My mother also has red hair! I'm watching my parents!
