About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

The picture of the 2 dogs and chickens following behind Tracey and the rototiller is my favorite scene!
Yes it is thank you Saundra
Yes, mine too! I thought Tracy is a female Doctor Doolittle with her menagerie!🥰🥰 Great film work Terry! And you both worked hard to prepare the ground. It will soon pay off though once the garden is laid out and planted. 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻🌸💐🌷🥀
Terry, as a former Museum technician here in Canada 🇨🇦, I suggest that instead of any type of superglue, that you use to repair the broken china, instead, use regular white glue (polyvinyl acetate or PVA). That’s the glue of choice because it lasts longer than superglue and won’t yellow or crystallize like a superglue will. Practice gently dry-fitting the pieces together first so you figure out the order in which the pieces should be glued: nothing more frustrating than doing a repair and finding out your last piece won’t fit in it’s spot. Do a dry run first. Also, don’t try to do the entire repair in one go: rather take it in steps so each repair has a chance to dry, making it easier to glue in the next piece or two. No need to rush here. Also, as you glue pieces together, hold the mend stable with scotch tape, making sure the tape pieces are long enough to stick them together across the mend to keep the pieces in place while the glue sets up. Keep a moist cloth on hand to wipe away all extra glue; much easier to do it while it’s wet than trying to scrape it off once it’s set up. Take pictures of each step if need be too; broken pieces can tend to look all the same after a while. Also, be aware that glue takes up space and if too much is used, you won’t get your last piece to fit. I used to use a toothpick to apply a very small bead of glue on the broken edges. Have strips of scotch tape lined up along the edge of your work so they’re ready for you and fold over one end to give you something to hold on to when you need to remove it later.
While at the museum I worked on 17th century artifacts and did so for many years. Good luck. No superglue though, no, no.
Thank you. I’ll make sure Terry sees this 😊😊
@@ashleywaters7198thank you, Ash. I hope this has been helpful. 😊
That's good information! What museum did you work in? I love museums and I live in Canada - I wonder if it's one I have been to.
How wonderfully generous, to take time out to write such a detailed explanation of mending the porcelain. I am going to read it again myself for future reference. Thank you. Optical Excellence!
Thank you for this very useful information, not just for Terry, but for anyone else who needs to tackle a project like this.
I’m in awe of Tracy’s energy and work ethic,and she still manages to smile. Xx
I wonder if she's working too much.
Thank you Susan and Jim
Probably takes her mind off other things
It’s so rewarding too ❤
Just love her, she’s a natural wonder woman.
I just saw your sad news about poor sweet Louis' passing. I'm not even a dog person but I am tearing up watching the pure joy in him in this video. He had a beautiful life with you all. My heart goes out to you all 😢
I am in awe of how much work you have all done in this walled garden! No helpers, no army coming in, just you three, well five when Jonathan can be there and Ash’s dad. Incredible! ❤
Thank you Sonia :) 😊😊
Pardon me for asking, but I’m wondering what happened to Tony? I haven’t seen him for quite some time and I’ve never seen any comments about his whereabouts. I certainly hope he is okay. Haven’t seen very much of Jonathan lately either. Would someone be so kind as to bring me up to speed? Thank you for any information.
Tony is back in England to take care of business and Jonathan is in school.
My heart hurts for you at the loss of Louis 😢. Im so in awe of how much work you do restoring your lovely grande lady. You always make me smile and Lord Patrick does too. Safe travels and Godspeed. ❤
Thank you for your kind words 😊
You are an amazing team. The garden project is huge but you are getting there. It is so exciting.
Tracy, I am from your generation, and my sons are close to the same age as terry and Ash. My boys often come to the farm to help with the big chores when needed, but that is where the similarity ends. There is no way that I could come close to keeping up with the level of work you do. As you used that tiller for probably a few hours, I was amazed. I’ve used them, and that machine makes you feel like your arms are rubber and your bones have been shaken from your body. You then turned around and dug up stumps!! You were still working long after I would have passed out. You are the woman!
Sweet to see Patrick and Louie romping across the garden! I know it will all be lovely when you're finished! You two rock!!!
Tracy has a bunch of little helpers running around. Lol. That garden is huge. Can’t wait to see it planted.
Thank you Catherine
I absolutely love seeing Patrick helping with the digging...so cute, he obviously sticks by your side because he knows he's loved! The way Mother and Son work together is special ...lovely people and you certainly know how to work!
Mum's arms must be as strong as a body-builders! What a hardworking woman she is! Terry & Ash, always remember what an asset Tracy is & always treasure your time spent with her! ❤💜❤🤗
We do Gracie! Tracy is amazing! 😊😊
Wonderful to see Mother and Son working together with smiles, so...much love❣️👏 your work ethic and love is so...heartfelt!! Thank you for chairing your love and wonderful video’s with us all❤️
Your "The Walled GARDEN MAKEOVER" subtitle is inspirational - those in the northern hemisphere are looking for Spring garden ideas while those in the southern hemisphere need some garden escapism as they bunker down for the cold Winter. Especially when we see how much things improve every time you post your video, and your hard work. I wonder how many of us think I'd love to help you ?
Terry and Tracy are a force to be reckoned with! They work so well together, and just never give in.👏🏻
Landscaping work is brutally hard, and the length of the stone walls needing repair and clearing of self planted trees seems endless!🥴 massive respect to you all for what you have already achieved!🥰❤️👏🏻
One thing is for certain: when you’re finished restoring the chateau, you should all be very, very proud. You’re working so hard, truly pouring your hearts into it, and that makes the finished product all the more special. I admire each of you, and really appreciate that you take the time to film and share your journey with us!
Your love of this land is palpable; and your progress staggering! What you have accomplished thus far.. is mind boggling! Such a wonderful family; living your dreams! Love the parade of animals, tailing the tilling! So cute!! Best to you all!
Thanks Mara :) 😊
Hi Guys, I can't wait to see a vlog all about Tracy and Tony on a three-week vacation. Tracy for all you extremely hard work and effort certainly deserves and has earned a fabulous vacation away from everyone. Mark & Scott
Your mother is remarkable
Dear Terry, you and your mom work so well together. It’s truly inspiring. It’s so difficult to fathom the amount of work you have completed in two short years. Most people don’t accomplish what you have, in a lifetime! When you were digging out the stump, I remembered over 55 years ago, I was maybe 12 or 13 and my sister was two years younger, our dad was leveling a large area of ground similar to yours with lots of rocks and tree roots. We were helping him along with our mom, he hit a stone with the tiller so took a shovel to try to dig it out. He kept digging and digging, wider and deeper until many hours later he uncovered a boulder the size of a car! He had to hire a bulldozer to move it to a different location on the property. My sister and I used to climb on top of that boulder to have our sisterly conversations. I forgot about it until watching this video. Thank you for reminding me of a fun memory from my young life. God bless all of you, and so sorry to hear about your sweet Westie!! Many Hugs. xx
Great story with memories
God Bless your Mum. She works harder then most construction workers out there! Truly enjoy your adventures of family, love, dedication, joy and continuing the dream. I admire all you have done and continue to do. One day this will be your crowning achievement. Because it was done with not only hard hard work. Attention to staying true to the chateauxs history. But most importantly It was done with endless love. ❤
Good to see both dogs running together in the Walled Garden! Sorry for the loss of Loui
Thanks Cristina 😊
Your Chateau is so charming and elegant .The walled garden will be a stunning addition to the property. keep going!!
I think the datsund is convinced he knows what he is doing. What a helper! ❤
I love how everyone has their job to do and all work together even Pattrick and the chickens. It's looking amazing guys
Thank you Jerry 😊
Tracey, Terry and Ash. Did you ever imagine this undertaking would reveal such a grand former estate? Removing the layers of neglect have produced this amazing home. Your efforts over the past two years is a testimony to restoration. I look forward to following your progress this summer. ~ Diane
It was nice to see little Louis so happy before he crossed over..Love the video..thats some hard work all done by hand.
Thanks Susan. That’s Sasha in the videos 😊
It's amazing to see what the walled garden looked like when you first arrived and to see it now 。 I can't wait to see it with the formal garden in 。 It's always fun watching Lord Patrick supervising the humans !
💜💜💜
Lovely to see your animals helping out especially little Louis so happy running round this vlog is a fitting tribute to him
Patrick is wonderful! What a helper!
He is thank you Melanie
@@Tracyhort522 When I saw how close he gets to the tiller I got nervous. I would be too anxious to operate that with a dog hanging around. Nerves of steel you have Tracy!
What backbreaking work! I think I would have knocked down one of the garden walls to get a tractor in there! I’m so glad you got the rug that Carol and Adrian didn’t want. It’s absolutely beautiful. You and your mum need some gardening hats! That sun is hot.
Thanks Shannon. We can fit the tractor through the opening so that helps 😊😊
Terry, you are the only one in the world who would care that those capstones on your beautiful walls were slightly crooked.
Oh my goodness! You all work so hard! The walled garden is going to be amazing when it’s done.
Brilliant editing of the music and video - particularly the drone shot drawing back across the garden as the dogs chased it. Inspiringly brilliant - bravo! 🥰
I wish you had 2-3 guys there to help you. To pay them. It would help make a difference with grounds work, stone work etc. A psychological boost for sure 💪🙂
I'm avoiding cleaning out my vehicle- you all are way more fun and interesting
How sweet all the animals have come out to Supervise you Tracy 😃Your doing a cracking job of turning over the soil 👏
What a difference in the wall garden all that work which you all have done is amazing,it was so funny watching Lord Patrick following Tracey and your other dog and chickens too.I am in awe of all the work you guy's have done both inside and outside the chateau and cottage bravo to you all 💕🌼🤗
It’s so fantastic looking. Just think how many gardeners in the past were used to do this very thing the three of you have done all by yourselves. Just remarkable how much you have accomplished, albeit of course with help from Sir Patrick’s supervisory leadership and Johnathan’s technical skills. Hugs from Oklahoma City-Candice 🇺🇸😀🇺🇸
You all are doing a wonderful job, love the background music
Thank you Jimmy D
How blessed you are to have your mom with so much energy and welling to help. ❤
The metal planters on top of the stairs are really beautiful. I love them.
LIKED THE MUSIC this episode...4
Lord Patrick bless him worked so hard to do his bit ❤ I love watching the progress!
Thank you Naomi
How exciting to see the table runner I made you on the dining room table!!!
Thank you so much Raygena! It’s beautiful 😊😊
What an absolutely beautiful piece of professional needle craft, what a wonderful example of "craftwomanship" at its best along with your kindness at such a beautiful gift. 🙏
The walled garden even without the flowers is looking wonderful with all the walls looking beautiful 🤩 😊
Those plates that John sent will look lovely hanging in the suite. Thank you for the inside update, and the work y'all have done on the garden is outstanding. ❤
Thank you Lori :) 😊
I love how the dogs and chickens want to help you both out! The music was beautiful this vlog.
Thanks Barbara 😊
Wow Tracy! Your arms are probably like steel! Running a rototiller is very hard work, I know this first hand. Seeing the chickens coming behind you picking worms was so funny and Patrick helping out. You all have done such a wonderful job and I hope you put down a weed blocker in the formal garden to make your life easier. Noticed the scaffolding up and am very excited!
Thank you so much Michelle 😊
The tea set is lovely. Love how you all are restoring the Chateau... Love the furniture.
I am in love with your channel - you are such amazing, lovely, sincere, hard working and talented people! I watched all episodes so far (from Upstate New York, USA), and I look forward to each new episode! Today I watched the 5/5/2023 episode - and felt compelled to reach out and say how much I am happy to see the Olympic Pineapple, Titanic plate, and table runner. May peace and love surround all of you, always!!
I truly appreciate all your hard work but those chickens and dogs are priceless! Thank for sharing such an enjoyable video.
Patrick is such a big help.😀
The walled garden is a blank slate now. Your hard, hard, hard work is showing. So glad to be a part of the base that supports your efforts.
The three of you have done an amazing job…when I say three I’m talking about Tracey, Terry and Patrick of course
I can’t even tell you how much I adore the s shaped stairs at the far end of the walled garden. They are magical!
Love the wee dachy and the chooks bringing up the rear when you're a tilling😂
Tracy, you are an inspiration. And the joking and camaraderie between you and your son is so fun to watch.
The place could not have fallen into better hands. Crack on!
Looking at your drone footage it is easy to imagine the blocked up doors and windows opened at the end of the walled garden and how they would have used it for a summer terrace for dinner and dancing with the views and scents of the garden lit with lanterns. Very romantic and luxury🎉 🌟💐
When the drone reveals the walled garden with the chateaux beyond, I believe Cinderella could have (or did) live here! So beautiful and magical!
It seems that the garden work is too thwarting, a task that will never be completed, but at the end of each day you can easily see the progress and it is so rewarding to behold. I'm just a spectator, but I am proud of my Lalacelle family of consummate workers. Your vision is approaching fruition and you deserve praise indeed.
Love the chickens following along for breakfast,lunch and dinner.😊❤
Wow that garden space is huge. Such a huge job, but your moving right along.
You have shown the upstairs things very often.
But there was also a place where the servants did their work, the so-called down stairs.
The old kitchen where the family cooked, where the clothes were washed, the silver was polished and so on.
I've never seen that with you before.
I think you and all of you are a beautiful family
Your transformation is amazing. I am envious of the time you two get to spend together and your strong bond. Blessed
Got that tractor pulling your roots, save your back,!
I don’t know which takes me longer, watching the wonderful vlog or reading all the positive vibes coming through in the comments.
I’m not really a doggie person, so I don’t know whether digging is a daschund trait or just heaven on a stick for Patrick but it’s very cute to see him.
Props to you all, including Ash, who is, no doubt, either doing stuff to keep the household running or working on his own project elsewhere. We all have our skill sets and I love that you can all happily work in the combinations that work best. Xx
The sheer amount of work you've all put in to prepare the terrace for the formal garden is both eye-opening and admirable. The size of some of those root-balls you hacked out of the ground was unexpected! Also, that opening drone shot of the terrace was a great prelude accompanied by the soundtrack giving the visual narrative a lovely pastoral interlude. Well done, Terry!
Thanks Lin. Tez has done an amazing job with the editing 😊
Loving all your puppies running around
The formal garden is going to be lovely, hope you don’t use box, that may very soon get sick. Lavender may be lovely.
I had a little Patrick🐕 many yrs ago. Lovely 💖lil guy. Yes they do like to dig!! They think they'll find a badger🦝
Hi from Australia. I hate to nag you all but you so need hats on in that sun. We have terrible trouble with skin cancer in Australia and it is drilled into us to wear sun protection. Particularly those who are fair skinned. Besides that the walled garden is looking terrific. Sooo much work. Well done.
Thank you so much, we know now to always put it on 🙏🥰🥰
Terry and Tracy, you both are unbeatable. That is incredibly hard work. You guys need an ecofridge on your little table in the corner to stay cool and hydrated. I hope they send you one soon.
Patrick and Sasha running together looked like a doggie love story. All the animals following ye around getting their share of worms and moles.
Those are beautiful gifts your viewers sent. I use to do fine crochet work like that but now can't as I have carpet tunnel and neuropathy.
You continue to amaze me with all you all do. I can't wait for the volunteers to come and help you all out.❤
Someone should tell sweet little Lord Patrick that what he’s doing isn’t “tilling”😂❤I used to love landscape work until I became disabled. Having my hands in the dirt was my happy place, though hard work. Omg those roots are incredible!
Hahaha 😂😂😂 thank you Cheryl
I watch every one of you videos, but iv never seen the kitchen to the chateau it would be lovely to see it
Your Mom is like me,in that the harder the work the better I feel.I do hope you take enough breaks though.😊
What a massive job you are doing! It's looking fabulous!
I could watch Lord Patrick dig all day! He is so intense in his job. Good little dog.
I don't envy Tracy being beaten up by that front tine tiller! My dad referred to those as "jolly jumpers" and he finally invested in a rear tine one. Pure heaven in comparison. I always am amazed at everything you lot do!
Patrick is such a busy little dog. He is gorgeous! And so helpful digging 😂
Jay a beautiful Mahjong table. Or if you like a games table. I love its finish. Beautiful work Jay thank you 😊
Patrick must be the happiest dog ever, all that digging and a loving family, doggie dreams. Do you still have the peacocks? The Walled garden will be so nice for visitors to see once it's done. I bet Terry has it all figured out in his head, so it will be wonderful. My condolences on the passing of Louis.
❤❤❤ Amazing job you've done with the walled garden and so impressive to see your work and progress really come together in this one 💪👍👏😍
Take copper nails and pound in several in each of those roots to kill off the tree. Good luck cleaning those out of the rocks.
Hi Terry such a back breaking job clear all those stones and stumps, your mother is amazing, she works so hard too ,you all do . The Chateau will wonderful band the garden will set it off . enjoy a bonfire or camp fire with all the rubbish roots and branches. I wish I had half your energy at 73 I have lost the motovation to work around my house and garden . lana Australia.
I can't believe how big the garden is now that the brush is out, what a grand focal point that will be...brings back a lot of memories of pulling out roots, but living in Florida it was all sand which made the job slightly easier(SLIGHTLY)...good job kids...!
A complete joy as always. I shed a little tear at the end. So much I can't wait to see but do show how you make the mould of the pinapple. Thank you for sharing.
Epic work on the walled garden. I can’t believe how fast you have restored it! Just amazing 🤩 I can not wait to see the plans you have for it 💚💚💚
I love the way you have shot this episode!
Nice shady hats would be beneficial to both of you.
I can’t wait to see the garden take shape. Terrific work load but it will be so worth it when you’re sitting in the shady corner with a g+t looking over it. I admire all your work ethics, there are never any short cuts taken.
Terry such a lovely video .Mother & son time is wonderful .Your sending such a good message out to families ..Amazing things Your doing bringing the Chateaux back to life .Your living Your best Life .Thank you for sharing with Us xxx
Thank you Sandy! 😊
WOW COOL CARVED PINEAPPLE! AND CROCHETED PIECE….AWESOME
Bonjour, if you want some trumpet vine, let me know. Great job, long and not easy but you need to prepare your soil for all the nice plants 😀 👍
A very big job u r doing@!@ PATRICK WILL HAVE TO STEP UP THE DIGGING WITH YOU!!😂😃😘
Your family is so hard working! I really admire your work ethic and all that you have gotten done!
Who needs a fancy gym when you have your gardens to take care of...Amazing how much labor you have put into it...Can not wait to see the finished product!! So Excited!!! Hi Jonathan...Too bad you and your friends couldn't clear the stones and get out of class for a volunteer day!!
You are SO deserving of these lovely gifts!!
Just a little tip that may help you out. Mix white vinegar dish washing soap and sea salt and put in sprayer. Spray your weeds. They will die. It will be easier to kill the weeds on the walls.
Just coming up to 2 years and my what are difference to see everywhere shaping up so well
Hard, hard work but terrific outcomes
