My name is Michael Petherick and I live with my family at Chateau de la Basmaignee in north west France.
My brother and his fiancé bought this building with some inheritance money three years ago and we are slowly restoring it to live in, and run as a business.
It’s always a financial struggle to keep the place going and we have to work hard to keep our heads above water, but we love it and wouldn’t have It any other way.
When they knew that they were buying the château, my brother asked me if I would like to move over and take part in their new adventure... so I packed my bags, gave up my life in England and moved here to help bring this place back to life.
We do all the renovations ourselves including construction, decorating and collecting antique furniture that we buy cheaply to restore. Our goal is to fill the château with beauty and life as it once was.
I have a passion for history, art and all things old.
These videos are a series of stories about my life and experiences living in a French castle
I’ll be showing all aspects of life here, from renovation and DIY, to crafts and baking, art, daily life and a bit of fun thrown in for good measure. There’s much more to see and our journey is still just beginning.
Michael: "I don't remember how it goes"
Also Michael: "Proceeds to play it perfectly"
I can't even pick a favorite part of this video, the whole thing was just so wholesome and fun. It's exactly what I needed today!
I couldn't agree more !💖☺️
@@ournewnormalnow8432 - me too! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🐨🇦🇺
I am amazed at all of Michael’s talents! He can play the piano beautifully! He can garden. He can cook! He raises chickens. He’s remodeling the chateau and cottage. He’s a carpenter. He rebuilt the auger. Gosh, a man of many talents! Such a joy to watch him. He’s got the most beautiful eyes and smile! ❤️
Me too such a talented guy
@@debbiecostrino7042 I agree! I was going to say the exact same thing! Is there anything this guy cannot do?? ☺️
Michael, is there anything you can’t do??
A well versed all around guy and still so young. In this day and age it’s refreshing and rare! 🎼🏆💗
Ernest is having the best childhood anyone could ask for! What a cutie
Looks like getting away with friends was just the ticket to bring you back stronger than ever! Love the variety of content - especially the impromptu piano! 👏👏👏
Yes it was. Really cheered me up.
🐝 busy bees, doing the chores, wrangling the animals, and a little concert to cap it off. Always a treat to watch!
Ernest - "No sir" to petting a chicken. But perfectly happy to have a conversation with them in cluck. Smart boy!
Gosh doesn't Ernest look like his Grandad when they are side by side! Fresh eggs and homegrown tomatoes - does it get any better than that?
He has the Petherick walk too!
We said the exact same thing, Julie!! Ernest is the spitting image of his Grandad :)
Ernest was absolutely adorable with the chickens! Such a precious little boy! 🐔
Fur Elise never grows old for me, or too "mainstream." Thank you, Michael, that was lovely.
Ernest is such a darling little guy. In a couple of weeks he will be going right up to the chickens. Enjoyed your piano playing Micheal
Poor Stephanie- she puts so much love & consideration in to her presents and it nearly went in the skip 😳
Michael- you’re a real renaissance man...just love seeing all the lovely sides of your personality! From chicken coop to the dump and then from garden to piano - you’ve created an idyllic life for yourself and I just love watching you and your family. Thank you for sharing with us all :)
Michael has so many talents and yet he’s so down to earth! Genuinely nice guy!
I was just thinking the same thing. He's a gem.
Doing it Ourselves: makes a dumpster look beautiful.
The filming/editing quality is off the charts Michael
I love that Michael giggled when he said “Hello everyone”. His smile and laugh are heartwarming.
Goodness Michael you are so patient with your family. First they are chucking your stuff out, next your dad is trying to break your arm with a sledgehammer! Lovely to see you happy again.
I love the way Michael plays the piano.
I dearly wish he would play more and write more of his own music. He is through and through a wonderful modest artist.
As soon as I saw your dad hitting the second post that was against the wall, I screamed 'Micheal move your hand, your dad is going to hit you!' and a second later he did! Sorry you couldn't hear me!
He shouldn't be up on that little ladder. Its an accident waiting to happen. I wish I could have chickens. Always wanted them but we are not allowed in our neighborhood 😒
Glad you are feeling better 😊
I too, ouch
At least he didn't get the smart watch!!!
I was flinching as well.
😆
That ending was beautiful. Lordy, I've missed you.
So good to see you happy Michael. I think having Elias for support and company has been brilliant for you
Earnest saying " BocBocBoc" was so cute!!😊🐔🐔🐔
That was just the best, you crazy kids...I can honestly say I smiled all the way through this video, the concert was a bonus...now for tea...!
Michael your dad is an absolute star ⭐️
Please always wear a dust mask when mucking out the chickens. You can also use a low dust litter, like hemp (varies by location) instead of wood shavings or straw, as well.
Yes! You can get a nasty parasite and bacterial lung infection from breathing in their dust! Safety first.
This is a very wholesome and optimistic episode. It was great to hear you talking to Millie and she understood just what you were telling her. She knew she was being a naughty dog ! Your very wise dad brings so much experience to every task. It must be wonderful to have a close, multigenerational family working together and terrific to share it with so many viewers. That hammer hurt. We could see the site when you were leaning out the chicken coup doorway. Expect a bruise.
Every male in this family is like a clone of each other. I seriously have never seen anything like it! Grandad has some amazingly strong genes, my goodness.
So much fun on this video Michael, Elias and the family together. It's completely random anything goes that's what makes it wholesome!!! Aaahhhwww love those chickens. They are very lucky to live in the Château ha ha😂🤣Pls give them names they're adorable. I really enjoyed watching it. Thanks again Michael with your music and the video. I've been waiting this and now it completed my Friday afternoon. Have great wkend to all!!! 🥰👍🤗CHEERS 🌻🌷🌹🥀🌼
Family what can you do with them...looks like you'll have to go on every garbage run just to salvage your stuff! 🤓
I Feel for you Michael. My family to same way with me.
My husband of 45 years, always wants to get rid of everything!
It seems the only things that are doomed for the garbage...
are MINE‼️
😳🙄😬🤨🤬
When I was young, I could have fallen in love with you. You can do anything you touch. You are a real joy. I'm sure I am older than your Grandmother, but I am still alive and you make my heart flutter.
How do your things get thrown into the trash? You were good natured about it. Loved knowing about the pond! where a bomb went off, and seeing the adorable naughty dog rounded up. Chickens and working with your Dad, tomato seeds, and piano . Wonderful variety!
Kinda reminds me of Harry Potters friend Luna, her things were taken and strewn everywhere.
Can’t help but to giggle with you talking to Missy , the cows and barbed wire ,electric fences oh my! Love spending time with Michael and family🦋
"Oh the joys of the countryside." What a great sentiment.
One of my favorite videos! I love that Gwen and Ernest were in it. And I loved seeing Papa Petherick with Ernest talking to the chickens. 💖💖💖💖
I'm pretty sure Michael can do just about anything.😊
Your dad is a gem. Reminds me of growing up on my farm and helping my dad over 60 yr ago. Treasure these moments!
‘Someday my prince will come...’ Haven’t heard that Disney tune for years!
Michael’s in love! How wonderful
Ernest meeting the chicken was too precious 😭
So glad to have you back filming videos Michael. It’s a joy to watch you and your family!
Like taking my son to the refuse station. I’m dumping and he’s “shopping”
I've had to do the same with my roommate cleaning. If he doesn't know what something is, he tosses it out. um not your's, leave it be.
Lovely to see Ernest with his Grandad so cute 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔❤️
I just want to say how much joy I feel when I see how far you've gone, especially with the beautiful cottage, it makes my heart happy when I see how much it has evolved over this year! It's so incredible to watch your journey! ❤️ Much love from Slovakia ❤️❤️❤️
I love when you play. Would you consider playing properly, like a concert? Elias is wrong; there is nothing mainstream about Für Elise.
Love this video. Love to see you smiling Michael. Elias is nice edition. Your dad is such a character. Hope your hand is okay.
I'm so glad your back doing video's. I host a youtube and fb show called the Shine Your Light Network where I actively shine the light of others out to the world. It's a little channel with a big heart as I believe deeply that we all have a special piece of the puzzle of life and that when we shine it out to the world...the whole world shines with you...Michael I noticed you have a very bright light and would love to have you on my show here in Ireland sometime in the near future to have a heartwarming and uplifting conversation. I love watching your channel and feel inspired by you and your family. Let me know by email if you are interested in being a guest on my show. Robin@calmartstudio.com
The always multitalented Michael.
Thank you guys! 🐔🐓 So nice to see everyone! This was great! 🤗
Chickens like to roost in trees, as high as they can fly, somewhat like a Harrier Jet, straight up. Have you any tall trees near the house you built them. Foxes cannot climb trees!
It’s good to see you looking happy and content, Michael. When Missy got under the gate I had a lump in my throat as my little jackawawa did the same thing and was sadly hit by a car and died instantly. I was heartbroken - I’d even put more wire and boards under the gate.......so please watch Missy! I love hearing you play the piano! Nice to see the chickens in their new home!
I am so sorry about your little one.😢💛
@@elizabethmilner2045 thank you.
So wonderful to see you making more videos, and see some smiles on your face.
The fence for the chickens isnt high enough! Our fence is about 2m high and they can still fly over somtimes
I was worrying about that myself. Our fence for the chickens is six feet tall so they can’t fly over, and we laid wire on the ground then chicken wire on top, so things can’t burrow in like civet cats and raccoons. Last we put in fake eggs ( marked “fake”) in the nesting boxes. When one of the fake eggs is missing, we know we have a snake.
@@ruthcarter8895 Yeah in Germany or France there are no snakes😂
Kronos we have snakes in France 🇫🇷
@@super__surfer2454 Thanks to St. Patrick? 😅
That’s why you trim the feathers on one wing.
That’s beautiful piano playing . Ps Michael wait until Stephanie sees this video. Lol .
Enjoyed this video so much, Michael your good at everything you do .... Keep making videos ...more...more...more
I could literally watch 30 minutes of you playing the piano. 😍
Looks like Michael's got his mojo back.loved the episode .
This was just lovely, Micheal.
Just what I needed.
It's impossible to choose my fav part, but definately the addition of your ladies in the chicken coop, and Ernest's reaction! 😘💙
Just adorable.
Much Love, from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦... Keli 💖
How fascinating to hear you play the piano, I wish in all your videos you would play a song , thank you Michael, and I am sure Stephanie appreciates you saving her gift.
Oh I wish that Michael was still making videos, he's so good. Come on Michael...get cracking 😄💕
Wow, Michael. I love when you play the piano! Oh, heck...I love everything you do!!
Dang your trash dumps are nice compared to ours in the US. Can definitely tell you lost a couple lbs, you dropped it fast! Looking good!
Michael ... love the video with great mix...errant dog, electric fencing, chickens, making tomato seeds and, tah dah, wonderful piano serenade. Keep them coming!
I have always loved Fur Elise for some reason, I don’t listen to classical music but this piece by Beethoven has just stuck with me from middle school music class.
Terriers are like the rats they love to hunt, by design...can fit through tiniest of spaces. That part of Peter Rabbit was my son's (now 38) favorite: "and skeezed under the gate!"
Your piano playing is very good, Albumblatt fur Elise was one of my favorites, I learned that in grade 6 piano, and the tone of that piano in the room..marvelous. I would love to hear more, don't be shy or think you can't play, very well done, I think albeit the chickens, this was the highlight of this video.
Thank you Michael and Elias...Made me smile tonight....
So great to see you all 😊I wish we were as handy and self doers... you all are truly amazing! ❤️🙏 wow Michael lovely playing!!!
Would love to see an update on the Gardners cottage, anything currently going on?
Michael is the most "normal gay-guy" I've ever watched - and he is sooo
enchanting and I'm STRAIGHT!!!
That’s not very helpful comment as he’s never once said he was gay so don’t make assumptions,
@@robwestley7370 Ok Rob, yes, Michael is not making gay/straight part of his vlog; and yes, it is nobody's business who Michael adores. But, some of us read tea leaves. Makes no difference, Michael is still a wonderful guy.
@@robwestley7370 Well, then you obviously haven't watched his brother's videos! But you are right....that would be Michaels's story to tell when he is ready. He is beautiful either way!
@@robwestley7370 - Wellll ... he IS , how on earth couldn't YOU tell ? , and I'm afraid yr response sounds as though you think there's something wrong with being or being thought of as gay , so ...
🤣💕
First of all Micheal, you play the Piano beautifully, wish you'd play more for us! :0)
Sorry you got hurt when doing the Chicken gate by your dad, I caught a look at your wrist in part of the vid just after it happened, hope it didn't hurt too much Michael, it looked a little sore. But again, a great job seeing you all work together as family! Please wear protective gear like a hard hat and mask etc! Bird poop can be dangerous to your lungs.
Oh Michael you are the cutest thing sitting at the piano playing for us. I just love you. This was a fun video chickens and all. I really enjoyed it .
Michael is so lucky to have Elias around as a helper and a good friend , cant wait to see what Elias sketches
Michael deserves a guy like Elias. Two very nice guys enjoying life together. It's really wonderful.
@@bocachucka Deserves a guy?
@@kristin_cool6537 Yes he does, you don't think he needs a woman to share his life, do you? He enjoys being with those women at the other Chateau, but seriously, he is not meant to share his life with any of those people.
Michael, I'm a chicken lover myself and here is a tip for you: when it is getting warmer the chickens might get problems with red mite attacking them at night. I think these creatures are called that way in English, in Dutch it is 'bloedluis'. If they get attacked a lot the chickens get ill. To prevent this you could use some poisonous stuff, but a much healthier option is to use raw lin seed oil on all the wooden parts of the coop. The red mite will die in the oil. You have to repeat it a few times during the summer, because the wood absorbs the oil. I have never used poison and since we have chickens always used raw lin seed oil and no problems with these nasty little buggers! And happy chickens!
What the hell, are you talking about bed bugs attacking outdoor chickens? Are bed bugs part of the nature in netherlands 😐
@@neuroleptika It is a little creature that sucks the blood out of the chickens. When it is hot they multiply like crazy and the poor chicks are attacked at night. They can become very anemic and ill.
In latin they are called: Dermanyssus gallinae
@@tinetkkr6041 Poultry red mite, so wasnt bed bugs thank god for that😂
Glad to see a new update. I am enjoying watching the progress of the cottage. Thank you
Someday, indeed! And said Prince is going to be quite lucky to find someone so handy, creative, and sensitive. Great video, Michael. 🤗
You spend more time with your family in a day than I do in a week 😭🖐
Your videos bring such light into my life rn - especially in this pandanemic World 🌍
I think you should make a video of yourself playing piano, like a mini concert of sorts! I love hearing you play.
I do too.
You looked so HAPPY playing the piano, so beautiful I stopped what I was doing to see you smiling. They do say do what makes you happy. Great seeing your mom an, pop today LOVE the chickens... LOVE from Chicago
BRAVO !! Handsome, talented with piano keys, hammers, and can cook!!!
Thank you Michael , good times with your family, and chickens, I love chickens
Michael, You never cease to amaze with with you talents, piano, painting, cooking, growing things, plus fixing things!!!
I remember when we had chickens on our allotment and my daughter who was 3 years old then went up to the chickens and said “ chicken lay me an egg for my tea please “.... the chicken clucked and squatted down and plopped an egg right into her hand 😵😵. We were amazed and couldn’t believe what had happened. Of course she thought that was all she had to do every time she wanted an egg. Sadly it never happened again but we did have several double Yolkers. You can bear your own fresh eggs especially free range ones.
I completely understand Ernest's concern with the chickens, I have always been a bit leery of them myself.
Wow.... I am so happy you got some “Girls” as my son used to call ours. We had a sign up outside our pen that said “The Girls Pad”. And just like I can watch you peel potatoes all day, I could watch you play the piano. The tune was my late Mums favourite. Thank you for bringing her back for just a minute. 🙏🏼😘
we call them "Sisters", chicken sisters!
Michael... Loved your impromptu piano playing, chicken buying, rubbish dump catching missy xx
How far on are you with the gardeners cottage have you moved in. ?
Loving your channel...your Dad is such a treasure! ...love, love, love!
I'll have a cup of tea, the solving of all our problems... hahahaha
Michael please post more....I am having withdrawal symptoms
From start to finish this was just amazing to watch, I love all your videos and was upset by one of your recent videos through no fault of yours. Was nice to see you happy and it really brought out your friendship with Alias 😃
Love this whole vlog. I love seeing grocery stores in other places, and Missy is livin' the life!!! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Wow , fantastic episode .
Micheal we are all the more richer, for you being in the world . Amazing man , amazing talent . Thank you
Ernest talking to the chickens ❤️
Play it again, Sam. That’s wonderful.
What a surprise.. he plays classical piano and old school Disney tunes to boot! Gosh, Michael, what can’t you do?
You could do a wonderful book featuring pup living at the chateau with her animal friends ...your pictures are so delightful, I can just imagine a whole created world.
YEEES! Children's books of animals lives at a Chateau! He would be great at that! And if he made them audio books with his lovely voice - that would be smashing!!!
Michael. New respects, from chickens to an impromptu piano performance. Very pleasant watching all the way. Proficiat.
It's amazing how much more interesting it is to watch you go about your daily chores than it is when I have to do those same things myself. Loved seeing Ernest talking 'chickenspeak'.
I can barely believe that I was gifted on Christmas Day, 2023, with you playing my favorite work by Beethoven a few years ago... Noel.
Is there no end to your talents, beautiful. Love that you have got more chickens, you do realise that you will need to get different breeds for different coloured eggs like Stephanie 😆😆
Man of many, many beautiful talents. You're an amazing soul Michael.
"Fur Elias" instead of "Fur Elise" perhaps lol. Well played Michael - v impressive.
You picked up on that too. Very clever those boys.
Your piano playing is just beautiful, Michele. Fur Elise, my favorite tune. Enjoyed watching you transfer the chickens to their coop. So, Ernest will not be afraid of them. Crack on😊. Texas, USA 🇺🇸
