That was phenomenal to watch. I don’t ever recall having watched a Halloween party that was that spectacular. The effects and the filming was mind-blowing and the costumes worn by the participants were amazing. Loved the entire film.
I love how you have all created a “family” at the château! In today’s world it’s refreshing to see people making it work, creating a loving & encouraging environment where you can all share in the responsibility and have a place. More group’s of folks should aspire to band together as successfully as all of you! Loved the party & the costumes. A great big thanks to you and Ryan for the video. Love 💕 to your entire troupe & a happy harvest to come 😊
Absolutely fantastic …..loved the party clips and the Q&A ….! I used to watch the Channel 4 DIY which is where I first came across you Pethericks and I was just in awe of what you’d taken on ….! I’m now more than ever in awe of what you have achieved with your on going projects and I’ve got to say your excellent videos are far superior to the Channel 4 series ….you don’t need TV when you can put out such professional videos yourself …..! As for all the different jobs you tackle and the respect you show Billy to everyone helping …well….you’ve taken it all to another level…..! This old lady is well and truly hooked …..love all your family and your team …..thank you for sharing !x 😊
Fabulous video today! The party juxtaposed with such a spontaneous Q & A. I feel pretty sure that Billy didn't know the questions in advance. He seemed a little flummoxed on a couple -- charmingly so. Well done.
Billy, a very tactful reply to the chandelier question. The story Michael told about the unfair way he was treated by “that programme” stuck with me and I’ve not watched another single episode since. Sounds like they took advantage of everyone’s talents for their own gains. You have a great UA-cam channel with genuine content and keep going from strength to strength. Well done 👍
After the angel actually filmed her own children picking the flowers that made up the design and claimed it for her own was enough for me. It is bad enough to steal Michael’s work, but to involve her children was despicable.
I've never watched a thing they produced and never will again since Michael told that us about their treatment. When I did watch Chateau DYI I always found the way they swan in and give other chateau owners advice very condescending.
Not a question but a comment. I adore the way all of the family is together, living and working together. It's like the Waltons - except its English people living in France 😂 We have a large property here in Texas, with houses we put in, thinking to have the same type of situation. Sadly, it has turned out to be just us, with my mother-in-law next door. Our children all decided to live in cities 😅
Billy, you have outdone yourself with the Halloween filming and editing! Great job. It was so nice to see parts of the chateau again during the Halloween preparations. While I enjoy the convent, I look forward to the future renovations at the chateau - especially the kitchen. And I hope Michael starts the un-renovated rooms upstairs (and continues to vlog again). The 'hangers-on' question was something else.
Billy, 20% vinegar (cleaning vinegar) kills weeds like a charm. Just spray it directly on the weeds and they turn brown and die. I have a brick patio and weeds grow up between the bricks, so this is my preferred method. Even regular strength vinegar will work, though you may need more than one application. Cleaning vinegar is the most effective, but a little more expensive, but cheaper and safer than weed chemicals.
I'm being cheeky suggesting this, but a Big Christmas Tree in the middle of the Convent court yard would really make a statement for those walking by and peering through the gates. I loved the questions and answers. Good entertainment as always!
What a great idea, and the carolers too! But to bring a sense of letting us followers of the channel take part, they could ask for outdoor type ornaments for the tree to be sent. Also have local schools make ornaments and get to come help hang them?
It would be kind of fun to see a Christmas market in the courtyard of the convent but it’s probably not quite big enough so maybe a real life nativity would be amazing . An outside musical event ,probably more a summer event though, wether modern or a classical orchestra could be wicked, I’ll bet the acoustics are great there. It’s a good layout for a paying venue with only one way in and out. Thanks for the answers, lots of good information . Glad the party went well👍🏼🙋🏼♀️
Great work filming and editing . Lots of fun watching Mick and Yanis getting into it.. It was so well done I sure wish it could have been longer. Thanks Billy
WOW great party footage,looks like so much fun. I recently saw a replay of escape to the Chateau,and there you were and Gwen and Micheal, and your dad Mick,helping you relay the Terrace.i have watched you ever since those programs were made,and it makes me mad at how you were treated,but so grateful you are "doing it yourselves" now and love seeing everything you film Thank you
Hi Billy I’m commenting to tell you that I have found the convent on google maps 😂 and no worries because it has been updated!! I am only 13 so I’m not going to tell anyone or come visit myself. I looked because I am really enjoying watching it come along like this and you buying new things for it! Looking forward to all of this weeks episodes already ❤
My question has to be how the HELL we can get invited to your halloween parties? I have watched I think at least 3 years worth now and they just seem to get better and better. Happy to help set up, decorate and clear up, don't live too far away, though would need to stay over (have caravan, can travel, lol). I wish we were close enough to offer help regularly, but about 1.5-2 hours away, so not impossible, but for a day, tough call. I will be honest and say for me, my aims have always be to get to the next Disney opening crew reunion (every 5 years, so next 2026), but with my cancers resurgence, my aims and targets have to be closer dated than that. What a BRILLIANT crowd you all are.
Billy you are such a good leader, friend and family member. I’m pleased you are getting Michael motivated, I have really missed his UA-cam channel. Loved to comments about DIY program you were part, I get exactly what you were saying.
I love Billy. He’s the real deal. He scored very high on my list when he spoke of not doing Halloween at the convent because it would be a bit like letting the devil in. Thank you Billy for keeping it real.
I really enjoy these Q&A segments, especially when the questions are about your life in France, projects and plans, and how you feel about the way things are going...oh, and your sense of humour. Thanks for adding these personal touches that help us get to know you, your family and friends a bit more.
I want to thank you for the party video. I've been seriously I'll for over 5 years and can no longer go out but my mind is young and I get so much pleasure from your videos. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO. Smiles
You and Michael are so talented! I remember his "mystery" videos and would love to see another. Must be something in the family genes because your filming skills continue to get better. I heard how you'd like to incentivise Michael to work on the chateau's kitchen. I'd love to see him take on that project. I'd love to just see him again, period. Keep looking forward!
I am glad Ryan told us that Billy did the editing because I thought it was fabulous and had wondered if there was a collaboration between the two of you. I think you deserve an award for this post.
I'm old, I have seen some "stuff", in all seriousness, the portion from the party was epic and that hardly begins to describes it. The Q & A was also good, thanks. It's great to see your family and friends enjoying yourselves every bit as much as the hard work you put into your projects. Well done, well done indeed.
Your French is quite good Billy. Here's a tip. When I first started working back in the mid-seventies, my schooling had been all in French for the past 5 years. When I hit the workplace, my boss was a Scotsman with a full-bodied broad Scots' accent! He was very difficult to understand. After working there for 3 months, he issued me a challenge: "If you say "I'm sorry, could you repeat that again please? I didn't understand.", you're fired!" It set me back quite a lot! 1st, I didn't want to get fired and secondly, I needed the job to pay for university in 3 years time. So I decided right there and then to listen and stop "translating" the English words into French then back into English words in my head before speaking them out. Instead, I decided to listen to the accents, absorb what was said as if I was listening to an audio-book and respond in the same language. Within 3 weekends of shifts I was able to converse and respond easily and thankfully, my boss let me stay on. When I handed in my resignation 4 years later, he complimented me and wrote in his reference letter that I was a quick learner - which was the nicest thing anyone had ever told me at that time. In my mid-30s I was diagnosed with auditory dyslexia after years of trying to figure out why certain sounds confused my brain. I now tell people why I'm asking them to state their question in different words. It works every time and I have friends instead of frustrated colleagues (that used to think I wasn't smart). Cheers!
Thankyou for the questions and answers,so nice to get some honest ones,glad you moved away from the DIY show,you are true to yourselves.I guess those that stay with it get a revenue in some form,but I would feel uncomfortable with it.Lovely footage and costumes of the party,such a lot of fun,well deserved.
Billy and family, wow ! Spectacular the filming, lightning and special effects were outstanding you are a fantastic film director, loved seeing everyone having fun, I'm so glad you are the custodian of such a fantastic chateau, you are a brilliant business man and I have watched you all from the start of your journey and it has been a wonderful experience seeing you all grow ,all the restoration and planning you have done is inspiring, I love that you and Ryan are now back working together , I feel so proud and blessed to be able to be a part of your journey, It's a pleasure seeing your team working at the convent. Lots of love to you all ,see you next time.xx
Billy, I went through the same as you with learning a new language. I remember clearly the stage you are at, where you translate back and forth in your head, making the reply you have ready delayed and far behind the conversation. Take the opportunity to speak french as often as possible, at some point it just clicks in your brain. Someone told me once, that you will be fluent when you think and dream in Danish. I found that rings true, I also found that readingor listening to recorded books in Danish really helpful to formulate proper grammer. You might try that in French if you ever find the time. 😊
Really awesome video work, Billy!!! You want the work that you do, no matter what it is, to be of the highest quality that you can manage. Your efforts really shine through. Try not to be too much of a perfectionist. It'll drive you mad. Thanks to Ryan for being such a wonderful and very helpful friend. The daily vlogs are so appreciated. Have a wonderful evening. See you tomorrow. 💝💖💗💕
Billy, try a mix of white vinegar, vegetable oil & dish soap to spray the weeds. It works really well! BTW, glyphosate is still available in the States, unfortuantely.
Great party, costumes, spooky effects, filming, music, editing. Love seeing your mom and dad dancing and having fun. Billy, I love seeing you smile when you’re relaxed and having fun with Ryan. Q and A always fun with the two of you. xx
The costumes at the party are all so very creative!! I imagine everybody had a great time laughing in delight at each other’s “alter ego” :) . The Chateau looked splendid all lit up in red light especially viewed by the drone. Yes, i agree with the person who siad it appeares as though the drone just automatically follows you around.. You have a wonderful group of family and friends around you, You are Blessed. in your work, especially restoring the Convent. And I do believe that Saint Joseph is guiding and protecting your work because you have shown a sincere respect for the memory and legacy of the of the nuns and priests who dedicated their lives to caring for the sick.❤️. 🇺🇸 .
I love to see Mick and Sherri, just having fun with their family. What a fun family you all are, amongst so much other talent. Billy you are the head of your family and you are doing a fantastic job leading the way. I enjoyed the Q & A so much. A tiny bit more in this vlog. I have always been in awe of your work ethic, as your Dad, and then the commitment to it, and done so well and know so much of most everything, just amazing, your dixlesia isn't interfering with getting things done. However, Billy I have the most utmost respect for you more, as you don't want to use the chapel or convent to be used as a Halloween party place, as many, especially in the US, have done. But ready it for the town to use it and it will done the line, for many events down the future. You have such a respect for history, buildings and items, but also for the nuns and clergy who lived there. I am glad I follow you and that I joined. Kudos to your parents.
Hello Bill you and your family are doing a great job on your properties. Lovely to see your dad enjoying the party. Looking forward to seeing the progress on the nunnery thank you for sharing Geraldine England
Fantastic video, great costumes too! Omg! Love hearing you dish the dirt on escape to the chateau money grabbers 🤣🤣🤣. Your whole family seems very close to one another which is lovely to see. Do you all sit and have meals together on a regular basis? Xx
This question session is most entertaining! Thank you Ryan and Billie (and family) for including us in your life. We learn, are entertained, and continue to love your vlogs! I understand how hard you all work, and the extra effort you make is much appreciated. I have family living in Italy and I visit often. I understand your comments regarding language. As I say to my wee grand daughter and family (during our long Italian meals) that if they correct my Italian, I much appreciate it. That means they understand my Italian! How lovely is that! Much love to you all from Canada.
Here are some Juicy questions Billy and Ryan 😂 Billy, if your not renovating the chateau or the convent, what do you do for fun? Are there things to do for fun locally or do you stay home? Also, why did you move to France and buy the chateau and stay in France? Do you miss England? What part of England are you from and what are major differences to where you live now? Thank you in advance for considering my long list of questions 😂❤ love what you all are doing
Thanks for the Q&A it was very entertaining. Billy you are such a genuine person. When you are in front of the camera that's what comes across. You are so relaxed in front of the camera . It's such a difference from when you first started. Do you ever go back and look at some of the videos when you first started? You look so uncomfortable in front of the camera. I think it's because you are such a genuine and down to earth person . You've really got the knack of it now. You and Ryan have a great rapport and you make a great team.
Great party, everyone seemed to be having fun. Your Dad and Mum looked happy. As if you would let just anyone in with you in the chateau what a strange question. Those who have watched you from the beginning know about that other chateau and the people concerned. Ethics is not a word they are familiar with, which is surprising because he seems educated. They must be so envious these days at the success of the Pethericks.
That party looks like a blast and the music was great, the costumes and the editing. I’m glad you had fun. You spoke of the convent and Christmas. We had a nice church in our neighborhood that used to do Christmas bazaars and local crafters would sell Christmas ornaments and cookies and little gifts before Christmas and it would raise money. Another idea might be having a coffee shop on the premises.
another great vlog. Love hearing your support of Michael. My favourite room in the chateau is the old kitchen. Super happy you have found a solution to the leaky terrace. Can't wait to see it restored.
Your skill at cinematography is so apparent,,the party video clips were beyond spectacular. It looked like a great deal of fun!!🎉🎉🎃🎃🎃. The Q&A was great as always. You are naturals Ryan and Billy!
From Georgia, USA, Billy, mix vinegar, dish soap( Dawn, i.e.) and water for the weeds. Cheap and effective. Love all your progress. 1 gallon water, 1 quart vinegar, 1/4 cup dish soap, proportionately for the area you need, in a sprayer.
Excellent filming and editing of the party Billy! Love all your projects but really look forward to the restoration of the chateau kitchen. Thanks Billy and Ryan🙏🏻❤️
Having such a lovely family is mostly luck. Acquiring such lovely friends takes skill and heart. Love the party video and really enjoy the questions and answers. Thanks for taking the time for them in your videos.
It would be nice that Micheal seeing again doing his thing, because, he is just a amazing guy with so many talents. Maybe a idea, you and Ryan making such good vlogs..why not making them for tv. Start a own company and sell them, your family are so talented and amazing. Thank you for those vlogs do really enjoy them.
When I watch you tackle all those DIY projects, it motivates me to have a go. I spend more time at my local hardware then my hubby lol Thank you for your awesome vlogs 👌
I love the Halloween party. Who was the person in the Spanish flamenco dress? Billy did not see you in costume, neither Ryan. Where was Michael and Florin? I’m glad everyone was having fun. See ya tomorrow. Take care and stay safe 🍺❤️🌹🙏🎈🌈👍🇺🇸🕊🌞😇🤡🎃👻
I think in the future you could do a harvest celebration at the convent rather than a Halloween event. It wouldn't need to be on Halloween but close to celebrate the transition into Fall and the bounty of harvest time. There may be old traditions that can be incorporated into an event. It would be a great thing for the cmmunity.
Sam This is Darci I loved meeting your family your daughter is fantastic she seems like such a wonderful person.Hopefully I get to see you both more before I leave or when hopefully life brings me back here.Will you be at Gwen womens circle on the 7th??
The Party footage is spectacular!! You can count yourself as a producer for videos if you get tired of working at DIY projects.. You can create your own made for tv or major screen videos.. I love that you all get along so well and it is one large family at the chateau.. The best part is how well you all get along and you don't take time for petty drama.. Life can be such a joy if one doesn't get bogged down in the small stuff and takes it on with a smile on their face and a "Crack On" attitude...
That was phenomenal to watch. I don’t ever recall having watched a Halloween party that was that spectacular. The effects and the filming was mind-blowing and the costumes worn by the participants were amazing. Loved the entire film.
Totally agree Lee - from the camera work to the costumes and settings *outstanding* and it looked like *HOOTS* of fun lol .. wishing we were there ❤
@@thepenelopejones I couldn’t agree more.
Yes, agree, it was AWESOME!!!!
I too agree!! It was awesome !!! Thanks for sharing with us
Seeing Mick (and Sherri) cutting it up on the dance floor made my day!
Ditto!! So adorable seeing mum & dad enjoying a dance
Yes, agree that their still have it...
I love how you have all created a “family” at the château! In today’s world it’s refreshing to see people making it work, creating a loving & encouraging environment where you can all share in the responsibility and have a place. More group’s of folks should aspire to band together as successfully as all of you!
Loved the party & the costumes. A great big thanks to you and Ryan for the video. Love 💕 to your entire troupe & a happy harvest to come 😊
You have outdone yourself….truly spectacular filming, editing and content! 🎃
Absolutely fantastic …..loved the party clips and the Q&A ….!

Agree, he's a great human being and very modest and humble.
Ditto! 😍😍
The party footage was excellent Billy, you did a grand job there, your dad looked a proper geezer 😊
Thank you so much from all us Moons 🌙, we had absolutely wonderful time , 10 mins from home now 🤣. Thank you @thepethericks 🌙 Skol 🤣
What an incredible video and amazing moment 🎉 thanks billy and Gwendoline to make it happen ❤
Fabulous video today! The party juxtaposed with such a spontaneous Q & A. I feel pretty sure that Billy didn't know the questions in advance. He seemed a little flummoxed on a couple -- charmingly so. Well done.

Sounds like they took advantage of everyone’s talents for their own gains. You have a great UA-cam channel with genuine content and keep going from strength to strength. Well done 👍
Same here. I think it was despicable, and I would not watch "that program" if I were paid to do so.
Yes myself as well. I do not watch anything related to their Chanel after how they treated the Petherick family.
After the angel actually filmed her own children picking the flowers that made up the design and claimed it for her own was enough for me. It is bad enough to steal Michael’s work, but to involve her children was despicable.
I've never watched a thing they produced and never will again since Michael told that us about their treatment. When I did watch Chateau DYI I always found the way they swan in and give other chateau owners advice very condescending.
What program is it?
Not a question but a comment. I adore the way all of the family is together, living and working together. It's like the Waltons - except its English people living in France 😂 We have a large property here in Texas, with houses we put in, thinking to have the same type of situation. Sadly, it has turned out to be just us, with my mother-in-law next door. Our children all decided to live in cities 😅

While I enjoy the convent, I look forward to the future renovations at the chateau - especially the kitchen. And I hope Michael starts the un-renovated rooms upstairs (and continues to vlog again).
The 'hangers-on' question was something else.
You are the most inspirational family ever. A true joy to watch on UA-cam. Thank you all for sharing.
❤❤
Billy you are becoming quite the cinematographer! Well done with the editing and drone footage!
My favorite part of the entire vlog was Bertie! I love that he was included in the Halloween 🎃festivities 👻
Amazing! You guys deserve to have a wonderful burst of fun every now then. Enjoy!
Incredible production. Go you Billy it was by far the best video you have ever produced! I loved it!! 👏👏👏
Billy, 20% vinegar (cleaning vinegar) kills weeds like a charm. Just spray it directly on the weeds and they turn brown and die. I have a brick patio and weeds grow up between the bricks, so this is my preferred method. Even regular strength vinegar will work, though you may need more than one application. Cleaning vinegar is the most effective, but a little more expensive, but cheaper and safer than weed chemicals.
The vinegar in our experience killed the weed but then a few weeks the weed comes back nice and healthy.
I'm being cheeky suggesting this, but a Big Christmas Tree in the middle of the Convent court yard would really make a statement for those walking by and peering through the gates. I loved the questions and answers. Good entertainment as always!
I agree with you, also Carol singers
What a great idea, and the carolers too! But to bring a sense of letting us followers of the channel take part, they could ask for outdoor type ornaments for the tree to be sent. Also have local schools make ornaments and get to come help hang them?

Exactly what I was thinking of. Christmas markets are huge in Europe. I love them. Of I would love to go. Wish some rooms could be for staying at.
Haha,,,,,someone has to clean all that poop afterwards!!
Great work filming and editing . Lots of fun watching Mick and Yanis getting into it.. It was so well done I sure wish it could have been longer. Thanks Billy
Spectacular Halloween party… music and filming first class … loved it just wished there was more
I must say, I have watched many of the Chateau DIY pages and not one has captured me the way yours has! I look forward to your videos everyday!!!
WOW great party footage,looks like so much fun. I recently saw a replay of escape to the Chateau,and there you were and Gwen and Micheal, and your dad Mick,helping you relay the Terrace.i have watched you ever since those programs were made,and it makes me mad at how you were treated,but so grateful you are "doing it yourselves" now and love seeing everything you film Thank you
What a great time it looked like everyone had. Mick can bust some moves.
Thank you all so much for sharing. What a great party. Well done everyone for your hard work. Q & A was good and diplomatically very honest. X
Hi Billy I’m commenting to tell you that I have found the convent on google maps 😂 and no worries because it has been updated!! I am only 13 so I’m not going to tell anyone or come visit myself.

I love that you still consider the nuns about Halloween. I agree with you and maybe even the town wouldn't like it at this present time.
Awesome party, love seeing your parents having a grand time ❤❤ exceptional video ❤❤ Thank you Billy and Ryan 🥰❤️🇨🇦

This was brilliant editing..the party looked like a music video. Yes I rewatch so many of these often.

Thanks for clearing up that chandelier story, I new something was fishy and fake about that show, they're so unprofessional. Luv y'all.
The lighting outside the chateau looked fantastic! Matched the mood of Halloween 🎃 well done
Always really perfect music choices….artistic souls
Forgot to say "Your Pop still has it - his dance moves are great."
THANK YOU FOR SHARING. Last year I thought Mick is really the good dancer and he showed off his moves again. Good times...good times!
Billy and family, wow ! Spectacular the filming, lightning and special effects were outstanding you are a fantastic film director, loved seeing everyone having fun, I'm so glad you are the custodian of such a fantastic chateau, you are a brilliant business man and I have watched you all from the start of your journey and it has been a wonderful experience seeing you all grow ,all the restoration and planning you have done is inspiring, I love that you and Ryan are now back working together , I feel so proud and blessed to be able to be a part of your journey, It's a pleasure seeing your team working at the convent. Lots of love to you all ,see you next time.xx
A Christmas Eve candlelight service would be beautiful in the convent chapel!!!
The chapel is no longer consecrated.
You're a good man!! Love and Blessings to you and your family! Just tell the bump and bangs to go Away! You own it now! Lovely!💯👍🤗

Love the costumes and love dad just kickin it on the dance floor! Good to see everyone having a good time b/c everyone always works so hard!
What a nice party! Everyone looks great! Love seeing your Mom and Dad having such a good time!
Seeing Mick was so much fun!
@@peggyvick935 Yes, Mick is quite the Groover! Bet he was a bit of a lad in his day. 👏🏻👏🏻😍
Billy, try a mix of white vinegar, vegetable oil & dish soap to spray the weeds. It works really well! BTW, glyphosate is still available in the States, unfortuantely.
Love your Dad. What a great worker; … and obviously close family.
Fantastic vlog Billy and Ryan , party looked amazing so did all the costumes. Lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves🎉🎉🎉 xxx💕💕
Ryan ! You never looked better!!! 😜 Looks like a great party as always.
Have you ever thought about inviting the neighbors? Bet they would be a blast.
Great party, costumes, spooky effects, filming, music, editing. Love seeing your mom and dad dancing and having fun. Billy, I love seeing you smile when you’re relaxed and having fun with Ryan. Q and A always fun with the two of you. xx
Love your integrity billy a genuine gentleman .
The costumes at the party are all so very creative!! I imagine everybody had a great time laughing in delight at each other’s “alter ego” :) . The Chateau looked splendid all lit up in red light especially viewed by the drone. Yes, i agree with the person who siad it appeares as though the drone just automatically follows you around.. You have a wonderful group of family and friends around you, You are Blessed. in your work, especially restoring the Convent. And I do believe that Saint Joseph is guiding and protecting your work because you have shown a sincere respect for the memory and legacy of the of the nuns and priests who dedicated their lives to caring for the sick.❤️. 🇺🇸 .
It was such a great time..Thanks Gwen for the invite..And making me feel like family.Loved every minute of the last few days.
I love to see Mick and Sherri, just having fun with their family. What a fun family you all are, amongst so much other talent. Billy you are the head of your family and you are doing a fantastic job leading the way. I enjoyed the Q & A so much. A tiny bit more in this vlog. I have always been in awe of your work ethic, as your Dad, and then the commitment to it, and done so well and know so much of most everything, just amazing, your dixlesia isn't interfering with getting things done. However, Billy I have the most utmost respect for you more, as you don't want to use the chapel or convent to be used as a Halloween party place, as many, especially in the US, have done. But ready it for the town to use it and it will done the line, for many events down the future. You have such a respect for history, buildings and items, but also for the nuns and clergy who lived there. I am glad I follow you and that I joined. Kudos to your parents.
I’ve commented this before, but the chateau would be an incredible place to film movies at! This is so magical
Hello Bill you and your family are doing a great job on your properties. Lovely to see your dad enjoying the party. Looking forward to seeing the progress on the nunnery thank you for sharing Geraldine England
Fantastic video, great costumes too! Omg! Love hearing you dish the dirt on escape to the chateau money grabbers 🤣🤣🤣. Your whole family seems very close to one another which is lovely to see. Do you all sit and have meals together on a regular basis? Xx
This question session is most entertaining! Thank you Ryan and Billie (and family) for including us in your life. We learn, are entertained, and continue to love your vlogs!
I understand how hard you all work, and the extra effort you make is much appreciated.
I have family living in Italy and I visit often. I understand your comments regarding language. As I say to my wee grand daughter and family (during our long Italian meals) that if they correct my Italian, I much appreciate it. That means they understand my Italian! How lovely is that!
Much love to you all from Canada.
Here are some Juicy questions Billy and Ryan 😂
Billy, if your not renovating the chateau or the convent, what do you do for fun? Are there things to do for fun locally or do you stay home?
Also, why did you move to France and buy the chateau and stay in France? Do you miss England? What part of England are you from and what are major differences to where you live now?
Thank you in advance for considering my long list of questions 😂❤ love what you all are doing
Thanks for the Q&A it was very entertaining. Billy you are such a genuine person. When you are in front of the camera that's what comes across. You are so relaxed in front of the camera . It's such a difference from when you first started. Do you ever go back and look at some of the videos when you first started? You look so uncomfortable in front of the camera. I think it's because you are such a genuine and down to earth person . You've really got the knack of it now. You and Ryan have a great rapport and you make a great team.
Great party, everyone seemed to be having fun. Your Dad and Mum looked happy. As if you would let just anyone in with you in the chateau what a strange question. Those who have watched you from the beginning know about that other chateau and the people concerned. Ethics is not a word they are familiar with, which is surprising because he seems educated. They must be so envious these days at the success of the Pethericks.
That party looks like a blast and the music was great, the costumes and the editing. I’m glad you had fun. You spoke of the convent and Christmas. We had a nice church in our neighborhood that used to do Christmas bazaars and local crafters would sell Christmas ornaments and cookies and little gifts before Christmas and it would raise money. Another idea might be having a coffee shop on the premises.
another great vlog. Love hearing your support of Michael. My favourite room in the chateau is the old kitchen. Super happy you have found a solution to the leaky terrace. Can't wait to see it restored.
I love running home from work, getting my lunch and grabbing my iPad to view ur Chanel…. Thank you for doing this…. Greetings from McAllen Texas
Your skill at cinematography is so apparent,,the party video clips were beyond spectacular. It looked like a great deal of fun!!🎉🎉🎃🎃🎃. The Q&A was great as always. You are naturals Ryan and Billy!
Good to see everyone having a good time at the Halloween party especially Mick
I love the Billy and Ryan show. Thank You!
From Georgia, USA, Billy, mix vinegar, dish soap( Dawn, i.e.) and water for the weeds. Cheap and effective. Love all your progress. 1 gallon water, 1 quart vinegar, 1/4 cup dish soap, proportionately for the area you need, in a sprayer.
Excellent filming and editing of the party Billy! Love all your projects but really look forward to the restoration of the chateau kitchen. Thanks Billy and Ryan🙏🏻❤️
Mick being the life of the party is just the BEST, every year. 👏 🎃 👻
You gentlemen are so kind and sweet.
They really are so kind this why so many are drawn to them. The most gracious folks I have met in a really long time.
Great video Billy. The lighting and everything. I think you could make a living doing music videos for the stars. Thanks for sharing with us. ♥
Absolutely brilliant, what a professional video, graphics are amazing, lovely to see the Moon Family enjoying their selfs🙏🏻
Mad respect for your Gramps, he's got more vigor and go then a man half his age.
Love the special effects at the party. Such a spectacular place for any party. The Q&A was interesting and informative. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Having such a lovely family is mostly luck. Acquiring such lovely friends takes skill and heart. Love the party video and really enjoy the questions and answers. Thanks for taking the time for them in your videos.
It would be nice that Micheal seeing again doing his thing, because, he is just a amazing guy with so many talents. Maybe a idea, you and Ryan making such good vlogs..why not making them for tv. Start a own company and sell them, your family are so talented and amazing. Thank you for those vlogs do really enjoy them.
With the amount of projects, filming, and general logistics of all that goes on with the work, Billy has skills! This was a lot of fun to watch!
Fantastic footage from the party Billy, just wish there was more to see!!
When I watch you tackle all those DIY projects, it motivates me to have a go. I spend more time at my local hardware then my hubby lol
Thank you for your awesome vlogs 👌
I love the Halloween party. Who was the person in the Spanish flamenco dress? Billy did not see you in costume, neither Ryan. Where was Michael and Florin? I’m glad everyone was having fun. See ya tomorrow. Take care and stay safe 🍺❤️🌹🙏🎈🌈👍🇺🇸🕊🌞😇🤡🎃👻
I was wondering the same thing. Cannot think who it was.
The party was amazing & Alexander's costume -- wow. I love seeing you all have fun after so much hard work!
I loved the music that accompanied the shots! Your choices in music are always brilliant.
Great footage of the party and I loved those questions and answers.
Seems like a fun party! Thank you for answering questions Billy. Awesome job editing and the drone shots were great!
I think in the future you could do a harvest celebration at the convent rather than a Halloween event. It wouldn't need to be on Halloween but close to celebrate the transition into Fall and the bounty of harvest time. There may be old traditions that can be incorporated into an event. It would be a great thing for the cmmunity.
IIRC, that's backwards. Halloween was a Christian event and harvest was pagan.
@@stimpsonjcat67
Absolutely true !
Someone please tell, Billy.
@@billgreen1861 this got highlighted, I the channel has the data.
You guys really know how to throw a party! Love how this video was put together! Thanks for sharing!
OMG!!! Off the chain opening! The party of the decade!
We had so much fun at the party thank you for inviting us 😘❤️😊
Sam This is Darci I loved meeting your family your daughter is fantastic she seems like such a wonderful person.Hopefully I get to see you both more before I leave or when hopefully life brings me back here.Will you be at Gwen womens circle on the 7th??
@@JaxonsDd007 Hi Darci it was good to meet you too! No l cant make it on the 7th, hope you enjoy. 🥰
The Party footage is spectacular!! You can count yourself as a producer for videos if you get tired of working at DIY projects.. You can create your own made for tv or major screen videos.. I love that you all get along so well and it is one large family at the chateau.. The best part is how well you all get along and you don't take time for petty drama.. Life can be such a joy if one doesn't get bogged down in the small stuff and takes it on with a smile on their face and a "Crack On" attitude...
