    Your videos are getting better and better, Michael. They are so delightful, interesting and full of a kind of nostalgia for me, plus your Mum is lovely and Andrew is simply a delight. More, please! 💕

    “C’mon Mum - put your foot down!! Pure joy - how wonderful that the simple things can make for such happiness. Using the umbrella for a hook, baking huge loaves of bread, riding all over in the golf cart and sharing a joke with Mum. 😁

    Michael I enjoyed this vlog soooooooooooo much! The simplest of life at the chateau! The baking of bread, cooking and getting back to how you started it all! Painting and DIY’s. But this one was so special as you and your Mom doing such fun together! Teasing her and her having fun. She is enjoying life having her son back to his ole creative self and spending time with him. Gosh any Mom would love to live in a place like that with all her kids together & yet still have their own lives! 👌🏼🙌🏼

    I really enjoyed that Michael, it was nice just to see you out in the countryside with two of your favourite people and the dogs picking berries. With blackberries the best are usually hiding underneath close to the ground...or maybe other people picked the top ones and I just found the loads underneath. I’m jealous of your bread, it raised so high, I can never get it to raise so well like my grandmother did. One gran made hers with water and the other lived on a farm and used milk and they made very different types of just plain white bread. Back then they made bread at least twice a week, usually three times if there was any extras at table. They lived to far from a store, store bread was too expensive and tasted like crap😂🤣😂. It’s a treat to have hand made bread these days, though my daughter uses a bread machine and that’s ok. Can’t wait to see the jam being made if you show that, I usually make jellies because I don’t like all the seeds, especially blackberries, they are too big and get stuck between my teeth. I’ve really enjoyed your videos this week Michael and thats the way to get all your subscribers and Patrons back, maybe 2 or 3 a week for a bit before you cut back. I don’t mean to tell you what to do with your channel but ...there’s that nasty word but...just from watching other channels grow, those that are successful and those that just didn’t make it. There are so many chateaux channels looking for a piece of the market now it’s bound to be harder to keep the interest if you’re not consistent in getting content out. I have a lot of time on my hands ( health) and watch way too many vloggers. Those that consistently put out one video, same day and time every week, have the odd extra and occasionally a live seem to be the most successful long term. It’s like how people like to watch the weekly show of their favourite Tv program , it’s something reliable to look forward to. Anyway, too much nattering, well done this week and your sweet camera man did a lovely job🥰🙋🏼
