Philipp is in troubles when half a tree comes down in front of the chateau in a storm right before the arrival of some very special guests. And that's only the start of the day...

I love the nephew…”That is very, very false!” 😃😂🤣
"I'm only going to edit the successful ones"!!!! Literally spit out my beer!! 🤣🤣🤣
My God, you're funny!!
Stephen
U know you're a true fan when you've memorized Anna's intro 😆
We'll come up with a new one soon, promise! :)
No please we love it 🥰
After 10 times I started skipping it... just can’t wait to get to the content 😆
Absolutely 💯
So true
Listening to Phillip say "look at this" repeatedly while chopping wood made me think of my kids when they were little lol. To clarify, my kids didn't chop wood, but wanted me to look at everything they were doing ; )
Guaranteed to smile all the way through the episode. So charming, in every possible way. Thank you for lifting our spirits!
Our pleasure!
"A man, an ax, and a fluffy microphone." Oh my goodness---you make me laugh!!
It totally cracked me up 😂😂😂
Before I saw your comment I said the same thing.
Love how you are in France 🇫🇷 having English cheese 🧀 and South African wine 🍷. Just the best 🏆
That's why we have to keep the Vlog in English, not get killed.. ;)
That's true😂in France WE DONT EAT ENGLISH CHEESE and we absolutely DON'T DRINK South African wine!!! He would be banned from getting his"cote de boeuf" from his "boucher"😂
Anna's pronunciation "Coot de buf" is so darling too 😂
South African wines are great
Church bells start chiming. Philipp: “no noise from 12:00 to 2:30. It’s France, there’s a rule for everything.” Funny but so true! Loved seeing Nathan again and the electronic surveillance is always one of my favorite segments. Anna, your apricot jam looked delicious - you are so talented. Lovely to see your family together again after such a lengthy separation. ❤️

Please tell me I wasn't the only one to yell out "NATHAN!" when he rode up on the mower! Good to see him and wishing him a successful time at school ... mistresses - look out! Love the jam and the tree adventures as well.
P: "Do you think they like your barbies?"
E: "Yes!"
P: "That's good. Papa's old-fashioned; we live in modern times you're right." love it! hahaha
I ABSOLUTELY love Philipe and his antics. He cannot be too cautious with his daughters. What a great uncle and daddy; love you both. Enjoy your family!
When you first showed the tiny chainsaw I laughed - that said - it did in fact cut up the entire tree branch so - I’ve learned something.
I thought the same
Me too. I snorted derisively, in fact. 🇦🇺
The wood needs a good amount of time to dry before burning in heater.
Sometimes I question my IQ while being entertained watching Nathan mow your yard or Phillip cut wood
The crazy thing though is that when the video is over, I find myself wanting more.
I love that this is such sweet family show. In so many ways I can relate to the episodes that you share. Trying to herd livestock, cut firewood, make jam raise children, tackling DIY projects.
These all bring back fond memories of my husband's and my younger years.
Also I love the humor and really great filming. Thank for sharing your Iives with us.
I enjoyed the musical suspense leading up to the backfire of the shredder! Bravo! Brilliant filmmaking!
Thanks, Mindy :)
My favorite channel to watch! Can’t wait to see what Phillip and Anna are up to in this video.
Thank you Tanya, also for the kind superchat!
I agree simply can’t wait for all the crazy plights Philip and Anna come up with.
@@HowToRenovateAChateau you’re very welcome! Thank You for sharing your lives with us in a most spectacular way.
"Family", a word that needs no further explanation. Congratulations... ❤🇦🇺
Heartwarming to see families reunited. Adorable children!! Thanks!!
Thank you too!
Cousins are the best!
What a beautiful family! Loved seeing Anna's parents and brother and his family, the children are precious. Philip's fatherly humor for his daughters is so funny, the peach jam looked amazing and keep the drone shots of the chateau and surrounding grounds coming. The views are spectacular, and I adore the church bells. Excellent episode.
re. your jam recipe. I learned that you can use the same process of mixing fruit with lemon and sugar to then freeze the fruit in containers or bags. I was surprised that the fruit maintains its texture well without the extra step of cooking the fruit down as with jam. It is also possible to freeze tomatoes whole without blanching them to be used in sauces or other cooked recipes. The tomato skins rub off easily once the tomatoes are slightly thawed or you have run them under some warm water for a few seconds.
I am thrilled you are all together....Love and connectedness is what we all need. Enjoy!🥳💝🥰
Hi Philipp and Anna, lovely to see your family visiting! The kids have such fun on that trampoline, don't they? Anna, there are easier ways to make jam! The best hints I can give you (from over 50 years of jam making!) are - Freeze your fruit in 1-2kg bags until you need it, and thaw as much as you need at a time. I only make jams etc in the Winter, too hot to do in Summer! It makes the flavour of the fruit more intense and cooks quicker. Don't soak your fruit in the sugar, just bung it in the pot with about 1/2 ltr water per kg, and the juice of a couple of lemons, and let it just simmer for about an hour, or less, just until the fruit is falling apart. Add your sugar (NOT jam sugar - it's a marketing rip off and way too expensive) by measuring the cooked pulp volume cup for cup sugar/fruit. Turn up the heat a bit and add the sugar, stirring, until it's combined, bit by bit. Give it a stir now and again, and it should be ready to bottle fairly quickly, about 10-15 mins from adding the sugar. It starts to go clear as it's cooked. Test by putting a teaspoonful onto a cold saucer, when it's done, you will get a little wrinkle on the jam's surface if you prod it with your finger. Doing the jam like this gives it a lovely colour, and it's got a nice jellied consistency. Bottle and enjoy!! Hope this gives you an easier option, I feel for you standing there waiting for that fruit to soften for hours when the whole lot could have been done and dusted in way less time! Love and big hugs xx
Thank you so much, Karen, we'll try this method for the next batch! With normal sugar! thanks for the tip!
So lovely to see families getting together after so long apart. 😊
Darling video! Anna, you need a canning funnel. Place the funnel on a jar and use a 4 cup measure that has a spout to add your hot jam to multiple jars. Just move funnel from filled to empty jar. No more multiple ladling for one jar.
That’s the way my mother did it…with a funnel. Her sterilization of jars was accomplished by inverting them in a large pot of boiling water (10 minutes, I believe)
If you can't always be in sexy attire you make up for it with humour Phillip. Always look forward to your antics and Anna's patience and creativity. 💖
This is one of my favourite RUclips channels. A great watch on a Sunday!
Love watching your daughter call you for dinner 🥰 Those limbs are called “widow makes” as is the dead pines. Be careful. Oh I could almost taste that apricot jam/jelly. Yeaaaaa family is the best to come visit you!!!
Love your Daddy protector mode 👍 The boys are as adorable as your girls.
“A very false statement!” 😂
Thank you for the laughter today OXOXOX’s TTFN
widow makers
I was thinking the same thing. Be careful when approaching a tree that has lost limbs… could be one hanging up there still.
So happy to see the joy on everyone's faces reuniting after so long! Hope you enjoyed the wine, it's part of our pride and joy here in South Africa.
Hi there, also a fan of the crazy funny couple. And also from South Africa.
Having lived abroad myself for many years I understand your joy in someone bringing you cheddar. 🥰🥰🥰
Marvelous Jam! A spoon over vanilla ice cream is divine.
Look at this, look at this, look at this - one hit wonder. Thank you again for smiles and laughs.
I confess to having a tear in my eye when watching. So lovely to see a family gathering with children playing.
Glad you enjoyed it
The chateau looks like a lovely jewel box in the arial views.. Phillip, you are just about my very favorite influencer. I love your dry sense of humor and Anna, so calm, so poised and so talented.
Family, friends and fun, all in one video can't beat that. I love the sound of church bells myself. I live in a tiny, tiny town on the shore in Maryland, at exactly 9:45 they ring to let everyone know they have 15 mins to get there. I always picture by gone days with people pulling up every Sunday in their horse drawn buggies.
Always entertaining. Happy to see Nathan as well.
Love your chateau and all the renovations you’ve done. Your humor is so hilarious it cracks me up! Keep up the great videos 👍❤️❤️❤️
How lovely that you all were together again after 20 months!!! 💚🌿🌸
Hi Philipp & Anna, this was so special...it was so heartwarming to see your family reunited! The children are adorable! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Much love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Love that drone detector footage!
Better boil the Apricotes first, make a puree by a blender and the add the preserving sugar; boil 4 minutes - ready!
Thanks for the tip!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau Gern geschehen!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau or you could just blend them without cooking. works also really well and saves time. adding a few drops of natural vegetable oil will also help prevent foam from building. and I don't know if you do this, but after filling the jars turn them over so that they create a vacuum while cooling down. prevents the jam from going bad. :)
It’s so nice seeing families gathering again. Especially the little ones.
Yes, please do show us the church sometime!
Such a delightful video, full of happiness! And Nathan - he is such a good straight man. He and Philipp together always make me laugh.
Philip, just a suggestion, let the wood you cut, sit for a while to dry. Green wood is much harder to split than aged wood. Remember work smarter not harder! Thank you always for sharing your adventures!
Sweet!! Having your family come over after soooo long....brought a tear to my eyes! Enjoy!!!!
I love the Südtirol Speck apron on Anna :-)
Philip - you are HILARIOUS! Anna - you are just gorgeous!
Kidlets are adorable!!
So great to see some South African wine 🍷 I’ve tried Lomond before - it’s delicious‼️
Yes it was!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau Yes … I did pause & zoom in on the label 🏷 And Double Yes - you guys are the BEST‼️
Philipp is hilarious! I love your sense of humor! My daughters are 40, 36, and 36. We brainwashed them from birth that they could not marry until at least 30. It worked. One us a chiropractor, one a pharmacist, and one an elder care giver. We now have 3 beautiful grandchildren who are also being brainwashed. It works.😇🥰
6:00. Tips for Jam making… 🍏 🍑 🍏 🍊 🍏 🍒 🍏 🍇 🍏 🫐 I love using unripe apples to make the pectin for jams. Just boil whatever you have of green drops or imperfect unripe apples, strain off the liquid, compost the apples, and use the liquid for you jam making.
I put the filled jars into a hot water bath to help eliminate air bubbles and finish the cooking of the jam if it is needed.
I also echo the advice of others who have said: use a funnel for the jam pouring, it goes so much better for speed and efficiency.
I seriously cannot get enough of your life and adventures....you guys need to upload more lol
Always a pleasure to watch. Your vlog is unique, it is entertaining, friendly, the filming is gorgeous and every episode is to done with a sense of style and elegance.
Nathan will go far (with Phillip mentoring him) 🙄 😂 😂😂
You are such a great couple... So entertaining. Thanks for all your memorise love
Phillip, stating he will not permit his daughters to go out unchaperoned until they are 34 truly cracked me up.
This reminded me of my son who is in the police force … calling to let me know that his eldest daughter had been asked to go see a film at the cinema. Much to his dismay, because like Philipp, he told his girls they wouldn’t be allowed to date ‘til they were 26…and Kaila was 14…my son invited the young man to visit before the date and greeted him at the door wearing his full police uniform including his gun.
As the boy was just 16 and couldn’t drive my son drove them to the film …and sat a distance away in case he was needed🥹😁👀
Needless to say the poor boy was frightened away …he never asked Kaila out again. 😔
großes lob an anna, alles was sie macht ist perfekt, sogar die wahl ihres mannes
‘One hit wonder’! Omg, you are so funny!!
A Man, an Axe, and a Fluffy Microphone! 😂AND the only videomaker of this category with impeccable taste in music and hilarious drone footage! 👏👏👏❤️
Lovely in every way. Family is everything isn’t it?
Anna was in a bit of a ‘jam’ with the apricots…the ‘will they soften’ hourly check up was nail biting!! 😀🥫
Well, the delicious wine helped a lot :) Thank you!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau Must say I nearly spilt my wine when I saw Anna holding the bottle!! Really glad you liked it…geniet (enjoy)🍷
I nearly freaked out when Anna started talking about liking the video and subscribing....I thought it was over and I was sooooo SAD!! It's a lovely thing to be wrong sometimes. On occasion.
Apparently.... if they wait until the end many dont tick and like or whatever. Other youtubers do the same?
@@pebblesmiller9026 I don't know? Most that I have watched do it at the end?? But, I also think that my brain is still stuck in the '80's TV mode and anything remotely sounding like an "ending" was.....does that make sense?
If you will add one tablespoon of butter to the fruit when you are cooking it down it will remove the foam that forms on top and it doesn’t change the flavor at all.
It warms my heart to see families being able to all come together once more. Be safe, be well, enjoy!
Indeed Chestnut branches fall without warning during the late summer and fall as the fruit (nuts) grows. Keeping the tree and branches balance with proper pruning while removing knotted, rotting, and diseased branches reduces the likelihood hood of failure. Thankfully nobody was near the tree. At least you now know not to work under this tree during late summer and fall..... particularly when you can't hear a branch breaking and falling over equipment running or with headphones on.
Bravo Anna! Your jam looks and according to Phillip taste the part. Well done.
Cheers!
good point!
Well done with the tree branch! Jam is lovely.
Thank you!
Phillipp is a laugh! He is so funny and he doesn't even mean to be lol
I always find myself smiling whle watching your vlog, sometimes I laugh out loud, you are like ''Laurel & Hardy ' ;-) Anna did you ever think you would be the 'straight man' to Phillpp? You are simply marvelous together..the show is well-crafted and well-filmed..the charisma you share is spontaneous and real...thank you for the craftmanship and excellence in renovating, such an eye, Anna ;-)
"I should do this for a living. Well, part time..." - I am dying here.
The shredder should come out to the sound track from Game of Thrones. Who does't love some large power tools? Your guys are the best.
the drone bit, with the stranger things style music and the different target watches kills me each and every time! Comedy gold 😆
crack the apricot stones, and use the soft kernels, chopped, in the jam. Adds a gentle almond flavour.
But not too many.
From food safety of Ireland:
“The FSAI advises against eating apricot kernels due to the risk of cyanide poisoning. This advice applies to raw, unprocessed apricot kernels and powdered forms of them.
If you do decide to eat them, you should not eat more than 0.37g per adult per day, which is the equivalent of 1-2 small kernels. Eating more than this amount could cause an acute health risk. Children should not eat apricot kernels. “
It’s fun to see the old kitchen and how well it still worked for you to create meals for your family and guest. Then we get to see what you did with your incredible remodel and that spectacular Le Cornu range.
It is so funny to see someone cook marmelade in the traditional french pot meant for exactly that purpose. Years ago my mother brought one back with her from france we stored all kinds of things in it but never used it for cooking marmelade. Nowadays the grandchildren love to play with it and they especially enjoy sitting in it. Also the jam looks really good.
Philipp-you are a man of many talents. Thank you for sharing your skills with us! Anna, you may need more wine…😉🥰
I would love to see the church❤️
If French rules stop you from making noise at certain times and days just come to Spain. Here we use to cut wood, let cement mixers run, drill holes in our houses or fell trees all around the clock, Sunday mornings included. And then we burn the leftovers. You would love it.
We love your Vlogs. You both are so amusing. Hard work can be so frustrating. Your family makes all the work look fun filled instead of frustrating. I am watching old episodes. I don’t know the state of your lawn now. I have noticed as the Vlogs proceed the state of your lawn has deteriorated. It was once lush and green all over. Yellow streaks have appeared. The lush green carpet has disappeared. I admire all your progress motivation.
That has more to do with the seasons and amount of rain..
Most enjoyable vlog!

What a cute little French chainsaw. I've never seen a chainsaw that small in America.
Yes, ours in America sound like a 747 taking off.
I love apricot jam, I do most of mine in 6 cup batches so I can reach that jam temp. Looks like a lovely batch of jam.
So nice your family is all together after so long!
Philip you made me laugh successfully before breakfast,well done
Omg the copper pots. They are so lovely. The timber management is rather impressive.
The old European way is to layer the fruit and sugar and leave it overnight then when you go to cook it the next morning add your lemon juice. This produces a better quality of jam like marinating meat you can soak it for a couple of hours but for a deeper taste marrinade it over night. I prefer to blitz the fruit in the food processor because of the time factor; this makes making the jam quicker and then add a good handful of sterilized marbles that children play with; this will prevent the jam from sticking on the bottom of the pan and help whilst stirring. To bottle you must leave a 1.25 cm head space in the top of the jar and wipe the rim of the jars with a clean damp cloth or paper towel and seal with the lids and water bath for 10 minutes and turning off the heat and leave it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes, then remove the jars with a jar lifter and place on a towel or board on your bench - never on your bench the jars will explode; and leave to cool completely; as the jars the jars will click and the center of the jars will divite. This is vacuuming if the don't you will have to repeat the whole process to achieve this or follow the helps below. To water bath you put a round cake cooling rack in the bottom of a large stock pot with a lid this will stop the jars from cracking and this is called a trivet - if you are processing small jars like 125 g jars for the breakfast tables or the 50 g jars for individual servings you will need more racks. You put your first layer of jars in the rolling simmering water with the jar lifter add another rack and so forth then place the lid on and let it do its time. You can do the same with pint jars; but when it comes to ltr jars they are best left in a single layer. You need to make sure there is at least 5 cm of water covering the jars at all times and you also need to have a second pot of water at the same simmer in case the water bath needs more water - never top up the pot with cold water, it will drop the temperature and the jars won't wont be vacuumed. If this does happen you have two choices empty the jam back into a pot and get it up to temperature and rebottle into sterilized jars and water bath correctly or put the jam in the fridge for immediate use or in the freezer in snack or sandwich clip seal bags and then placed into a larger clip seal bag dated and placed in the freezer and for when you want it defrost in the fridge over night. The cold sealed jam should be dated and stored in a dark airy cupboard for up to 12 months. Enjoy and yes the bill is in the mail. Ha Ha!
Would the jarring process be the same for apple butter? Our tree has produced sooo much fruit and the birds and bugs desided that most need a hole added so i need to process them ASAP! Normally I'd just make apple pie filling and freeze is but i dont have freezer space. So i need some jar options. I normally reuse supermarket jars (we make sambal but that doesn't need to be boiled, just sterilized jars and a good layer of oil.) that have been sterilized.
There are plenty of canners on RUclips. I know a good dozen. When I suggest you go to Homestead heart. Lovely family. She'll even show you how to can butter. That can last for 5 years.
I didn't see your comment before I did mine, telling Anna she must follow the procedures set out by The National Center for Home Food Preservation. That is okay. Now she will have a few of us helping her out there.
I think what Nathan meant was : "Plus de cinquante heures de colle", this translates to "fifty hours of detention". Quite an understandable mistake... Keep doing what you guys are doing! Love your videos!
thanks for pointing that out! you're right!
Philip cracks me up!!! The jam looks delicious! Wonderful to see the family together!! Love the "Cousin Cam"!! Nathan's education goals are very interesting! Love from Vermont
I think you need to go shopping and get your young ladies all those awesome things you mentioned, including, but not limited to, the dinosaurs, the motor bikes, and the knights with swords! How dare you deprive them of all that cool stuff.
I totally agree!
What a lovely rule to live by....no noise from 12 until 2 siesta time! Brilliant! Here in NZ it's always the time to do the damn lawns....with noisy machines! Time to listen to the birds and relax.
Another fabulous family reunion. Great watching.👏👏
Dear dear family, bénédictions pour votre prospérité!
Merci beaucoup!
Nathan does such a good job mowing the lawn. Those stripes look great.
So happy you guys are getting to spend this time with family!
For future reference if you are inadvertently in this situation again…just get a small pot and make enough for 1 or 2 jars, won’t take long. Just put the lid on the big jam pan and make the rest of the jam the next day.
good idea! thank you!
It's fun to watch your kids grow up.
Your chateau is positively beautiful! No regrets I hope!
I thought your chainsaw pants were ordinary work wear. I had never seen chainsaw pants till I started watching chateau channels - they are not used where I live in the US. Even the tree surgeons just wear jeans. I wonder if green chestnuts can be used for something (like walnuts are made into Nocino?). Philipp, you are getting more charming with every video - you are about our son-in-law's age. Keep up the good work!
It was totally worth it for Anna to stay up late 😂😂 Love from Spain
Oh Phillip, you never disappoint when you're being funny. Your warped comments crack me up because I totally get it, I guess that makes me warped too! The family gathering looked so nice out under the trees, happily eating their portions of the glorious "beef" you prepared. Anna, that jam looked so good, so I now will have to go out, get some fruit and make some jam for the winter! Your family is absolutely lovely.
The very dry humor might be my favorite part.
Nathan est de retour !!! Tu nous as manqué !!! "Pécho la prof" ahahah...trop drôle !!! Bonne rentrée !
mmmm the jam, and happy summer days, it doesn't get better than this, enjoy!
Anna. I thought you did a great job on the jam & your copper pot is everything. If you wanted to add an undertone of warmth to the apricots you could add some vanilla bean paste. It will just add a little something extra beneath the sweetness of the fruit. Continued good luck.
