Dear Young Man, I am seventy three years and live in a starkly minimalist gray and white box high in the skies of Los Angeles... It is the complete opposite of your lifestyle. You Tube is new to me... as is the experience of being "grounded" and prodded into living vicariously ... I must finally tell you how delighted I am to be following your journey and feel compelled to add my support for the Herculean efforts of you and your hard working, visionary family. My special regards to the Patriarch.
Ms. Sarah, if you have any questions on how to navigate RUclips, ask away. I agree, this is a lovely family. And this hard working young man is amazing. I’ve enjoyed all his videos as I’m sure you will as well. I make sure to like, comment, share, and watch the ads in their entirety so he can continue to be successful with this channel. Welcome to the fan club 🥳🎉🎊
Yes, that Patriarch is something else, isn't he? Leads by example and taught his family a healthy work ethic. This family is the best and a joy to watch.
When I sat down at my computer this morning I had a choice. I could scroll through the news and be pummeled with doom and despair, or I could take a break from that and watch Michael clean up the greenhouse and make chutney. I chose the latter and now I feel calm and relaxed. Thanks for this!
It is so satisfying to see the greenhouse get cleaned up. I love seeing the scraggly looking weeds raked out and the final clean greenhouse. I want to get in there and plant something!
Michael throw some mustard seed in before u replant tomatoes to prevent disease and rebalance your soil. I'm a seed saver and have a small seed company here in Australia and you're spot on re tomatoes. I'm also slowly retiring and you guys are a pleasure to watch. Thank you
@@happyhead63 In the soil - let them grow and then dig them back into the soil as a "green manure". The mustard plants repel nematodes & pests which can attack tomatoes and cause disease.
I think the name “Peter Pepper” for the Lizard. But better names might come along. The greenhouse looks really nice. And as usual a pleasant and entertaining video. How would you describe the flavor of the chutney and what do you serve it with? Thanks Michael.
Michael, I still think you could write and illustrate the stories of a little boy named Ernest who lives in a fairy tale chateau and who befriends all sorts of creatures living on the estate with him. Mr. Lizard which lives in the green house could be one of them.
Hello Michael, thank you so much for sharing all your adventures. I have been following your adventures since last spring. I am a housebound senior but I am not depressed because my house has lovely large windows which look out onto spreading lawns. In the meantime I have been enjoying seeing the development of your little cottage. You have even made me think again about Aga stoves which I previously dismissed because I didn’t understand how to use them. Please give my best to the rest of your family with hugs for baby Ernest. Sarah
"Do they have chickens?" "Can you buy egg?" Elias is such a great addition to the fun-ness of the vlog and future vlogs! I hope he'll stay much, much longer. He seems fun to work with.
Sharing your frustrations from past months has done you the world of good Michael. So good to see you in a much better place. You’re looking so much better too. Well done on releasing your demons. Onwards and upwards now! X
If it helps, I watch for the day to day things. Not everything has to be epic. I love to see what is going on with your home. But, post what and when can. Your mental health is key. Remember, you are the most important person in your life.

@@snjezanam.9101 Michael gave Isabelle rose cuttings. I just commented that she would be happy the greenhouse was clean and tidy, as she keeps her greenhouse tidy.
Another goodie Mick. You did a good job on the greenhouse, told Bill you should do The Convent one too. Hope thats ok? Funny, but allergic to tomato [red] not green. Thanks m8!
I'm so glad to see you back, Michael. I can hear in you voice that Elias has lifted some weight off your shoulders. You sound a bit more at ease and free to enjoy the things you love to do. I'm going back to watch the video now. Take care. Stay safe.
Remember how it felt when you filmed the Lake District and you walked the paths of Peter Rabbit's creator? We were right there with you and the beautiful love of Miss Potter, her Lake District. We are on this journey with you. I remember laying in bed with my Peter Rabbit books as a child and now I watch you bring the spirit of Miss Potter to the heart of so many. That little girl was resurrected and I remember all the excitement of going to the library with my friends for Peter Rabbit week. We are on this journey with you! It's a wonderful addition to the Chateau's. Continue the story Michael!
I really love the energy of "the recipe calls for this but I don't have that so we're using this instead" repeated for basically every ingredient. Use what you've got!
Michael brilliant video, fabulous scenery and glorious countryside. Elias and yourself make a great filming team. Basmaignee has beautiful land. Brilliant. 💗☘️
Hi Michael, I watched the video yesterday, and got busy on watering houseplants, mapping out a Valentine design project etc. instead of commenting. But that is a good thing because you are helping all of us who are alone due to the Pandemic and also have compromised immune systems. Staying safe is getting OLD! Anyway, you are looking very good now that you got things off your chest, says this 60 year old seamstress, lol! Thanks to you (and Stephanie) for keeping me going as it will still be weeks for me until I might get called for vaccination. I was starting to lose it the other day, and your Vlog got my head right back where it needs to be. Thank you! Also, my little dog Bingo, my big cat Sergeant Cubs, my Siamese Kitty-Bear and my littlest Tortie-cat Bella all love when I am watching all the Petherick and La Lande vlogs as they get to hang out and get lots of attention while I obsessively love them each up while watching every new Vlog!
Really enjoyed this Michael 👍🏻☺️ I loved the greenhouse cleanout.. So You found a roof tile from Normandy in the brook, so I think Sir NORMAN would be a fitting name for our little lizard friend 😁😁🦎The cottage looks so so cozy too and I would love to see where your up to with the rest of the restoration work. Elias seems to really enjoy the Property and he is doing a great job in helping you out. I love how friends just pop into our lives at the right time 👏🏻😁✨🎯 You look bright and happy 👏🏻😁 God Bless
Autumn is only a couple of months away here in Australia, so you have inspired me to get preserving for the winter. Your kitchen is so pretty 🤩 Thanks Michael xx
Just commenting for the algorithm and to say that I love your channel, it’s brought a lot of light into my boring self-quarantined-self in regards to school....and in general. ❤️
I am pleased to have found him online. A great addition to my list of people who give me confidence and courage to enjoy the rest of my journey in life.
I absolutely love these videos and Michael. My favorites are when Michael does a little bit of everything in a single video..... tours and scenery, renovation, artwork, cooking, gardening, etc. They warm my heart!!!!!!! 😁🥶😁
Sir Laurence Olizier! lol It's so good to see you having a laugh and doing a little something different from all of the work you've been putting into the cottage. Much love from me to you.
Michael, I am Michael as well! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your talents and vulnerability with us. You are a breath of fresh air and inspiration. Your life at the chateau is fodder for my dreams and food for my soul. Thank you!
You found the lizard while gathering last bits for chutney and a surprise lemon tree.. Chutmon.. a combo of both. He’s lovely. Thank you for being like minded and gentle. Loved the seed gathering lesson. Makes me happy seeing you so happy once more. 🌺
How lovely to have that sweet green house! Great addition to the cottage. Glad you're ok Michael. I love your music! Dearest Michael, please please! Don't change or do ANYTHING because of trolls or toxic ppl. You are fine, healthy & lovely just the way you are!
So good to see you laughing and having fun guys!!!!! I love going on the adventures with you! Love you Michael!!! Your friend from Richmond Virginia! 💕
They seem to appreciate each other's company so am sure Michael enjoys filming 😊. Also, it does make great content having Elias discover the chateau and grounds. Who wouldn't want to be lucky Elias!
We have many lizards at our property just a few kilometres away from LaLande. We call them all Eddie after the famous English comedian. We also have a crow called Russell here in the UK.
This was so funny. How clever you are Michael! The recipe say 200g of xxx, I don’t have xxx so I used xxx. And then the same with every ingredient. 😂 And then we see the dog and the cat on a stroll, together. BFF’s, so cute.
So great to see you smiling and enjoying the beauty all around you. I think I more often find joy and feel much gratitude in the simple things, and none of the so-called big things really matter. Enjoy the weekend everyone, stay safe and well. Your friend Dee from Michigan USA👏🏻💚
Dear Michael, I am si happy to see you back on track ! You genuinely look and sound uplifted and it is a real joy to see you that way! Please ignore all the haters, the stalkers, etc...and focus only on the things you love and want to share because out there, people like me are thousands who do love what you and your family are doing to save and preserve these old buildings. I know it does take so much work and courage to make your dreams come true ! It si easy to let it go or even to criticize...but I support both your family's and Stéphanie' s Channels to the best of my ability. You are genuinely good, positive and honest people ! That shows off 🤗! Vote for ... Lazare Le Lésard because Lazare rhymes with lésard ( d is not pronounced). Bisous d'Alsace 😘🌹🍀❤️
Oh Michael, I love that you have a new camera man and friend. I see your both having fun I just love it. Thanks for the ride in the big small forest. Its beautifu.
Makes me happy to see you smiling! I could enjoy watching you cook, clean out the hot house, rebuild the gardeners cottage, most anything while you smile and enjoy yourself!
I also thought along your lines too but came up with MORTY (for mortar). I do have to admit when I say Morty out loud he seems to have a New York accent lol
Oh, i’m so excited to see you work on your garden just like mummy isabelle’s garden at La lalande. It’s one of your contents i’m looking forward to. Sooo excited about this. ❤️❤️ plssssss more garden videos in the future, michael. Plsss plssss 🤗😘
Michael I so love seeing you pottering in your new kitchen, walking in the woods, cooking for us... oh and making the greenhouse shipshape, Mummy Isabelle would be proud 😉. I sincerely hope you realize now how loved you are🥰
Somehow missed this vlog, what a surprise to realize I have a vlog still to watch. Michael I enjoy the fact that you’re a walking encyclopedia filled with knowledge and all sort of interesting facts. Always looking forward to your vlogs, so natural and doings things in your stride. Finds your blogs very interesting and uplifting. Thank you 🙏🏻
The very nicest soil improvement for my area has been coffee grounds, Using a 50:50 mix of coffee grounds to cow manure then mixing that mix back into my top soil st the rste of 50:50 has created an excellent growing medium for all my acid loving plants. Here in the states we have a local county extension agent who can test our soils to tell us which way we should amend the ground. Good luck on all your gardening efforts. 🌻🌼🌹🌸💐🌞🍄
I am again overwhelmed with the beauty of your home. The cottage looks wonderful but so does the cobbled walkways and the rustic greenhouse. You did such a good job in that greenhouse. It looked haunted when you began but it now looks ready for spring. And you got chutney and a baby lemon tree out of it. Really lovely.
Chris Maraccini you are correct, I would not either! I apologize for my misspoken words I just felt it a shame they were discarded in a stream. I stand corrected 🙏
So relieved to see you back Michael! sending positive karma and wishes for all things happy to you. My husband Rick, a retired director of photography, and I wait, none to patiently grin, for each of your videos to come out. we love you and your work, such a respite from all things covid. Thank you!!
Michael, you look wonderful! Love that you are back and enjoyed your cooking. My family and I loved watching All of the Pethericks and their adventures during our lockdowns. Hoping that you continue sharing the happenings at the chateau
Here, from Seattle, wishing you both and your family all the best. Thank you for the smiles. Love seeing you both smiling on this outing. Have fun, boys! Life is shorter than one often realizes. Make the most. Many here have your back.
@Jumpin Jo Hosafatz omg just cut and paste wherever you can. Not even a creative troll. No wonder this channel upsets you. I’ve given you some ideas for channels that you might actually enjoy. Move along little tool.
@Jumpin Jo Hosafatz omg, your are jealous! No one is forcing people to watch or be Patreon’s. Michael is more transparent than you, you even hide behind a meaningless handle.
@Jumpin Jo Hosafatz jealous of a man who shares a family home with all his family (it’s called multi generation living which is very popular in Europe and Asia and makes for happy connected people). I recommend you sign up and volunteer with this family. If you had followed Michael you would know he had work before the pandemic and he lived at the chateau before his parents moved in.
Loving having Elias on board. The videos were thoroughly enjoyable before, but they are even better now with the montages, music and editing. Wonderfully done.

He truly is a multi talented person 🥰
Would live to see some more faux
Painting and decorating videos.
😍
he also does Stephanie's hair colour, and curls !
Great to see the old Michael has returned and so pleased that you have so much support and respect for being so brave, well done Michael.
PLEASE CREATE YOUR OWN Ms. Potter STORY about the Greenhouse Lizard!!! Maybe name him Monsieur Vert (after the green in greenhouse!)
Oooh yes & some watercolor illustrations would be wonderful 👍👍
Cuz we know you’re not busy 😂
Oh yes a lizard story with water colour illustrations. Now I would buy that. I have a copy of Aloysius the ram.🤣
Oooooo! I 💚this!
GREAT Idea! :)
It is so satisfying to see the greenhouse get cleaned up. I love seeing the scraggly looking weeds raked out and the final clean greenhouse. I want to get in there and plant something!
I see many packets of seeds from around the world coming your way..👀✌
That's what I was thinking lol
I may just send some to him to Lalande so he has to go there more to get his packages! Lol 📦 😁

Rita please more info please re mustard seeds , where in soil or in the glass dishes very interesting tip havnt come across that one yet 😀
@@happyhead63 In the soil - let them grow and then dig them back into the soil as a "green manure". The mustard plants repel nematodes & pests which can attack tomatoes and cause disease.
Thanks for the outsider's perspective footage!! It makes it feel like we're discovering the chateau for the first time again.
That’s true. That added something special to this video.
I am so glad to see the greenhouse all spit spot. Next are the windows to let all that sunshine in🇨🇦🙂. You look very happy now. I'm glad.
Ooohh, when you little lemon tree gets bigger and booms, the greenhouse will smell like heaven.
I think the name “Peter Pepper” for the Lizard. But better names might come along. The greenhouse looks really nice.
And as usual a pleasant and entertaining video. How would you describe the flavor of the chutney and what do you serve it with? Thanks Michael.
A viking raiding the french countryside!! I love it!! And the greenhouse looks ready for the summer!!
Michael, I still think you could write and illustrate the stories of a little boy named Ernest who lives in a fairy tale chateau and who befriends all sorts of creatures living on the estate with him. Mr. Lizard which lives in the green house could be one of them.
What a great idea!!!
That is such a delightful idea. I so hope Micheal takes it on.
Can we make this a thing....cause this really should be a thing ❤
Ooh that sounds like a great storyline! 👏🏻
That sounds beautiful. I hope Michael sees this.

Hello all, what beautiful country side! To bad someone threw garbage in the stream 😖🤦♀️ lovely to see you doing well and happy ❤️🙏
I don't consider old roof tiles garbage, but I would have taken them out & now put them back in.
Chris Maraccini you are correct, I would not either! I apologize for my misspoken words I just felt it a shame they were discarded in a stream. I stand corrected 🙏
@@Tiffany-vj1tv It is just me, I would put in my garden, just the thought of something that old. I think Michael should send me one, don't you? LOL
Chris Maraccini lol yes! 😉 and the garden would be a lovely place for them!
So relieved to see you back Michael! sending positive karma and wishes for all things happy to you. My husband Rick, a retired director of photography, and I wait, none to patiently grin, for each of your videos to come out. we love you and your work, such a respite from all things covid. Thank you!!
Love the seed lessons!!! Thank you!!
Also enjoy learning how you cook!
Michael, you look wonderful! Love that you are back and enjoyed your cooking. My family and I loved watching All of the Pethericks and their adventures during our lockdowns. Hoping that you continue sharing the happenings at the chateau
Here, from Seattle, wishing you both and your family all the best. Thank you for the smiles. Love seeing you both smiling on this outing. Have fun, boys! Life is shorter than one often realizes. Make the most. Many here have your back.
I can't tell you is lovely it is to hear Michael laughing. 💕
You sure packed a lot into this video! So much fun. The greenhouse looks wonderful!
Larry the lizard ,that's what I am going to call him . What a clever idea to get heirloom tomato seeds. Clever Michael.
You are the darling of RUclips my friend.I think people would pay to see your shows. Oh wait a minute .....THEY DO!!! Love ya!
I don't! And still enjoy
I love being a Patron and watching the extra blogs. Michael is such a sweetheart.
@Jumpin Jo Hosafatz omg just cut and paste wherever you can. Not even a creative troll. No wonder this channel upsets you. I’ve given you some ideas for channels that you might actually enjoy. Move along little tool.
@Jumpin Jo Hosafatz omg, your are jealous! No one is forcing people to watch or be Patreon’s. Michael is more transparent than you, you even hide behind a meaningless handle.
@Jumpin Jo Hosafatz jealous of a man who shares a family home with all his family (it’s called multi generation living which is very popular in Europe and Asia and makes for happy connected people). I recommend you sign up and volunteer with this family. If you had followed Michael you would know he had work before the pandemic and he lived at the chateau before his parents moved in.
Loving having Elias on board. The videos were thoroughly enjoyable before, but they are even better now with the montages, music and editing. Wonderfully done.
Yes! Being in love does incredibly wonderful things to us humans.
Elias is a speedster! :-) Great work on the greenhouse---spring is in the air!
Love the gardening and the greenhouse segments! Clearing up the greenhouse was very good to watch. Love to see a mess tidied up.
love going with you exploring in the woods. 💜🌼
Michael, really enjoy your ver down to earth vedieos. Seeing the cat and dog together outside was very cute.
