Returning Home to the Chateau - Doing it Ourselves

- I’m finally back to making chateau videos in France. In this video my brother gives me a tour of all the work done since I left, I uncover some unexpected damage to the cottage oak panelling and AGA!, and take a look at the progress in the walled garden and greenhouse.

I really appreciate Billy showing all of us his recent projects- that we just had hints of. It is lovely to see the brothers together! Welcome home😘
Welcome home Michael! Hoping to see more restoration work on the cottage, more art, more walks. more piano, more cooking, more garden tours, more fun -- no pressure :) Stay well!
But no pressure 😉🤣🤣!!
Welcome home, can’t wait to see more cooking videos, too. What are you using for ventilation in the chateau kitchen, and the cottage kitchen, to clear the carbon monoxide and petrol solvents?
Well done, Billy, with all the projects! The drainage system is great! Welcome back, Michael, you were missed!
Baby Ernest is a teenager. THAT'S how long Michael's been gone. LOL
LOL
LOL 😂
Lol 😂
😂😂😂😂
LOL
We always write the date on the eggs with a pencil. So you always knows which are the oldest.
Let me add to the hundreds (perhaps thousands) of others who I am sure are all saying the same thing - it feels so good seeing you back at the chateau with your brother, Dad and the rest of your family. I really do believe that you needed that break and how fortuitous that the two weeks became two months. You seem restored and ready to “get cracking”again. I think even the hens missed you and I’m positive that all of us have. Welcome back, Michael
“Brenda is in the zoo with the other Gibbons” 😂😂
Gwen smiles to the camera...we all catch ourselves smiling back at her😊. Alot of essential work has been done on the Chateau, good on you Billy and Dad! Excellent video 🙏. Feel up to date now. Thank you 😊
"Gwen smiles to the camera"...I know, she is very lovely, isn't she?
Who else has lawn mower envy? So good to see Michael back and catch up with his family.
No wonder your brother hasn't been uploading, he has been busy
Good that the water damage in the cottage can be repaired rather easily. Digging a french drain at the back should put an end to that problem. Glad you are home.
That's good to hear 👂
Billy you are such a positive person and a wonderful brother. So enjoy your videos Michael. So glad to see you.
Really looking forward to this Micheal , it’s great to have you back in a positive frame of mind. You have thousands of us wishing you to do well. Xxx
Well done Ernest! AND well done Gwendelyn for letting him serve himself. 😜 Can just see his confidence growing. And what a wonderful mum and sister you have Michael, keeping the greenhouse in check! Not forgetting chief mechanical man Papa Pethridge and chief cook and bottle washer Billy. Beautiful family. Stay safe, stay well, stay happy! Good to have you home again.
Who was taking care of chickens while you were away
I just adore this Family. Love your Vlogs. Binge watching until I catch up.
Yay so good to see you back making videos Michael and you look refreshed and happy 😁. Good to take a breather and to look after yourself. Just know you are supported and we see your talents and appreciate them 🙏🏻
Tom-A-toe, Tom-AH-toe
Welcome Michael back to the chateau
With Earnest, Billy and Gwen
The family is back together again!
-- Happy Days.
Two brothers together, helping each other. We need more of this in the world. Life’s a village. The Pethericks are such a United family. Prosperity will always be with them. God bless the whole family.
Michael very happy to see you back. ❤️
Which of the brothers is the oldest. I heard Michael say once when they were younger, people thought they were twins. So how close in age are they?
Happy to see the Petherick boys back together! Can’t wait for your vlogs! Welcome back!!
Welcome back home Michael. You have been missed. 🤗
Welcome back! And big kudos to Billy for all the incredible work you've done. Very cool.
PRIME THOSE WALLS with a stain blocker before you paint them green! You never want to paint directly on unfinished cement/plaster board walls, it will suck up your paint at different rates and your entire finish will be uneven.
Ernest's coordination and steadiness with the salad utensils was great for a child his age! Well done mom and dad for spending the time working with him on this. So many parents do everything for their children and suddenly they are 14 and can't cut their own meat.
I am so glad you are home. There is no place like home. We are all so looking forward to hearing about your trip to Spain and your new love interest. Thank you for giving us this latest video. We love seeing you happy and home!
Beyond excited for this ❤️❤️❤️😎 so happy that you are back x x x
Love to you all 🥰
Me. Too. Anna can’t wait 🇨🇦🥰
Gotta say Billy and Pa Petherick have done great. The shower nearly finished. The drainage. Well done you two..
Wow Billy you have been busy! Well done! Everything looks so good!
Billy is so positive and supportive. I love his attitude towards things.
Welcome back! And as an spanish suscriber I have to say that I laughed way too hard when I saw the "El gabacho" hoodie lol
Welcome back Michael!! You’re looking well and refreshed. Hard to believe how much happened while you were away. Lovely of your mom to care for your garden and Sadie loving on Bertie. He’s so big now. I’m sure he’s happy you’re back too.
That's so nice of you Linda,,,,,,,,, hello 👋 how are you doing I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Thanks, How are you doing?
Michael, I can't wait to see what you do next in the cottage! You look so happy and full of life, that holiday worked wonders! Xx
I am so glad to see you back. Even though you needed and deserved a well earned break. I hope you are staying in touch with the person that brought you joy during your vacation
@@chapichapo78 Nope, because everyone deserves it. It isn't excessive at all.
@@Thadius_Invictus why didn’t he bring his SO with him to France? I’m just curious as to why he left them back in Spain☹️
@@fionaokeefe1906 To me, it doesn't matter, that is his personal business that I don't want to pry into. I am interested in what he wants us to see. His private life is his private life.
@@chapichapo78 I think you deserve a well earned break as well. I hope you have one and enjoy it. It’s not hard hard to be nice and wish the best for someone. I am personally taking a well earned week break at the end of June and plan a lovely trip to the beach with my family. Where will you go?
Wow, must be amazing being able to take off 2 months.
Darling Earnest was so good at placing his salad in his dish! So glad you are back Michael. Damage in cottage doesn’t look too bad but of course I’m not doing the work to repair it! Hope you planted some basil for those tomatoes 🍅.
You two look a lot alike. So glad to see you guys again
I never realized how much I had missed that intro!
Welcome back Michael you look much much better and happier. Too many eggs, do what I do in the summer when the hens are too productive, preserve them in Hydrated Lime and water,
1oz wheight not fluid oz of lime to 1 quart cold water - pref @ room temp. Multiply this to amount required. These eggs will stay preserved for 12 months and more. Store with the pointed bit downwards. These will keep you going during the winter months when the hens stop laying or slow down. It really is good to see the family back together.
Billy has been working hard; that bathroom looks stunning! Such beauties ...
Billy’s been working hard! Your garden and chickens are beautiful! Sorry your wood bowed. Hope you get that restored and properly fixed. Ernest is an amazing server. Welcome home!
Michael. You have returned with more energy and confidence. Your followers will be delighted to see you looking so well and happy. Go for it.
Great to see you back looking wonderfully well with you “zing” fully restored. Billy has been a busy bee with restoration and maintenance. Love seeing how the progress made. Time for omelette, frittata, scotch eggs, egg custard, mayonnaise, flans, egg fried rice etc etc - don’t waste those eggs
(Moira Ashton) Great to have you back, and its LOVELY to hear that intro music again -I LOVE it... 🥰😍🤩
Good job Mum for looking after Michael's veg etc., great to see things getting back to normal at the chateau. Billy doing a good job. Welcome home. Xx
Everyone needs some more time. Glad to see you back Michael.
Glad you are home Michael. Blessings.
The chickens! The chickens are happy! You have them in a good spot and they're well relaxed.
Welcome home. Glad the damage was minimal and easily fixed inside.
Happy that Michael is home safe & sound and I'm looking forward to a regular viewing schedule from one of my favorite people! Watching Michael with Stephanie & her gang was fun, Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed your vacation, can’t wait to see what’s going on with the cottage!
So nice to see you back Michael and so happy as well! Too bad about the cottage but it sounds like it is a not too difficult of a repair which is a blessing! Billy has certainly been busy, he has done an amazing job with every thing. It was so nice to see Gwen, Ernest and your dad as well. You have a wonderful family. Thank you for the updates and keep well!!
Billy's optimism is delightful 😄
Great to see you again. Love your talent and energy! Blessings from BC Canada
Just hearing the intro again is thrilling lol Like the first time I saw the channel on episode 1! I found you through The Chateau Diaries just before lockdown as I was looking for romantic and charming French cottage decorating ideas! So blessed that you encouraged Stephanie to put her Instagram stories on RUclips and start her channel ❤💕 What a legacy you both started through your friendship and brought so many people together!🍾🥂
Great vlog. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you sort out the water damage. Don't get discouraged by it. There will be a few setbacks. You have youth and energy on your side. The tomatoes look fantastic .
Not much straw in the hen house. Definitely need a layer in nestboxes. Leaving eggs on the food is asking for rats/nice
What a delight to see you back home reunited with your family. You’ll soon get the cottage sorted. Greenhouse and herb garden is thriving, ready for your culinary magic. Welcome back 🤗
Welcome home, sweet Michael!!! We all missed seeing you! I am excited to see what you have in store with your cottage. I have been putting together a package for you and your home, which I plan on sending sometime next month. Your brother has been working hard while you were away and things are looking great! Would love to hear more about your trip and what adventures you had. You look so refreshed and happy. Thank you, for always sharing your life and adventures with us!
Much love from the USA (Winder, Georgia),♡

Well done Earnest with the salad servers, looks yummy the salad, extra super with your own eggs. Great to see the greenhouse and walled garden coming on with lots of produce. Really wonderful to have you back Michael and to see that sparkle in your eyes back again and your smashing cottage. WCL
It is so good to see you look so happy and healthy.. Billy has realy cracked one with the chateau... your cottage looks amazing,wow so meny eggs, you can pickle some to so good....
So pleased to see you and that you have got your bounce back.
This has been wonderful to watch. Xx
That's so nice of you,,,,,,, hello 👋 Karen how are you doing I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Greetings from across the pond. 🇨🇦🥰
YaY!!! You're back, I can't wait to hear about who you met, etc!🤗✨ Your Dads place looks great, so good to see him too! Your mom cared wonderfully for all your plants... much accomplished Billy and Michael I know you’ll fix the cottage wonderfully well. WELCOME HOME!✨😊✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Welcome home Michael... looking forward to more progress on the cottage! Try this for the eggs: Lightly salt the water then bring to a boil for ten minutes then allow to stand for ten minutes. Crack them under running hot water - they'll peel completely - sorry Granny.
Have missed you nice to see you back. 🇨🇦
Just wonderful to see you home again. Love seeing your whole family together. Cant wait to see you finish the cottage. LOVE from Chicago
Good to see you back, Michael!
Glad you got a vacation, but I’m excited to see what’s next for the cottage! ❤️
Loved the video Michael and Billy . Glad you're back !

Looking forward to seeing more cottage updates!!!!!!!
Hope you noticed the flowers your Mom and Sadie planted for your cottage. 🌿
Yes and they trimmed the hedges, planted flowering bushes (and flowers as you already mentioned), cut the grass etc. etc! 👏🏼WELL DONE/BRAVO Sadie and mum.
AND did quite a bit of work in the chapel.
You are looking Amazing Michael!
I am so happy for you guys you are doing what most people dream about and making it work wonderfully i commend you so much for what you have accomplished .
Proper drainage is essential! Well done!
Wow so many videos recently it's great, excited to see you are back!!! Earnest's room is so pretty, the teal and cute but elegant wallpaper is exactly how I would decorate as a 24 year old so I'm not sure what that says about me but I really love it 😂
I cannot wait to see the green paint for the cottage!
Welcome home Michael, we have missed you so much. So happy to have you back!

So happy to see Michael at home with his family. Can't wait to see more work on the cottage. Looking forward to seeing more videos from Billy as well!!
I’d like to know why RUclips won’t let me like this with 2 thumbs up.. because that is even insufficient to express how much I like seeing you back at it with that shining smile.
Same here...100 thumbs up and more!
Welcome back Micheal really missed you. Pleased you had a good holiday, you're looking well and refreshed. Take ❤ care ❤ Maggie from Somerset

Welcome back home Michael!
🇨🇦❤️Welcome back, Michael!
I thoroughly enjoyed your Instagram posts and videos from Spain, so thank you again for those.
I’m sure you’re going to make quick work of the new repairs that are needed on the gardeners cottage.
It’s obvious that your family is happy that you’re back safe and sound, and the chickens are obviously pleased as well.
I loved the chickens my parents kept and I especially loved those free-range eggs.
Thanks for sharing your return with us, Michael, and I hope the rest of your week goes well.
Very exciting! I am so happy to have Michael back with us. Am looking forward to watching this.
It's common for chefs to sign their equipment, so Anthony could very well be a chef :)
Aw,good to see you at home, Michael. Loved having the update and tour and see what's been growing in the garden! So lovely! Hope the repairs in the cottage go quickly and easily. Can't wait to see that gorgeous green paint go up!
Great to see you back Michael, and seeing you full of energy is great! The time away was good for you!
I'm glad to see this channel returning to renovations or work regarding the chateau and gardener's cottage.
What a treat to have you back home Michael! Billy it's a treat to see you chatting with Michael again and sharing all the work you have accomplished! Good job handling the serving spoons Ernest! I sure am looking forward to the next video folks!
Welcome home, Michael. It was fun seeing all the finished and near finished work that's been going on. Loved seeing your lovely chickens. The green house is looking fine inside and out.
Lots of hard work on the ivy covered wall.
Ernest continues being adorable.
Cheers to you all.
Omg I missed you sooooo much lol.
I missed this place and everyone. Glad you are home safe Michael. And thank you for this lovely long video.
Glad your back Michal loved watching. Earnest is growing so fast .Looks like you have lots of jobs to do . Cannot wait till the next vlog.
