Bonjour à tous,
This week at the cottage, progress on the only cottage door continues to save the history and original features of this beautiful building, but it is a long and slow process was Tracy is finding out, but with lots of filler and a lick of paint the door looks fantastic.
plus, one job leads onto another, as Tracy is cleaning the car she decided to give the original water holds a little clean, but turns into a full on gardening job.
and finally, Jonathan treats us to a little camera work and a work around to see what people are upto.

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.

I love how Jonathan is part of the restoration project and gets the opportunity to do some filming of the vlogs. He is growing up so quickly and a joy to watch how loving you all are. Tracy, you work so hard and accomplish so much. The men in your life are very lucky to have you. xx
Tracey you’ve the patience of a saint to build up, paint and sand that door. Like everything else you’ve brought back to life
It will look great. I remember you finding and digging out those fountains. Thank you for inviting us all into your life😊
Tracy, you are an inspiration. You’re such a hard worker, and we can all see that Terry gets his desire for perfection from you. Anything you do is done to the highest standard. I’m so happy you’re making the vision come to life, and not just you Tracy, but all of you! Your incredible work ethic, your desire to see your dream become a reality, and the hard graft you put in to bring that vision to life. I’m that proud of all of you ❤️
Jonathan you did a very nice job of updateing us of what has been happening. Your Nan is a very hard worker, I am very empressed with her skills.
Plant a magnolia tree in each. The flowers are magnificent and fragrant. The tree grows to a beautiful size that will provide tons of shade.
I love to see Carol:and Terry working together so happily. ❤️🇦🇺
I love that Jonathan is getting in on the filming! 👍
Jonathan is good in filming and doing his own commentaries! It’s a joy to see a young child enjoying working alongside family members in restoring a chateau. Most kids his age would find it boring but I see joy in his eyes. Good job, Jonathan!
I can picture the ponds all scrubbed out and a scratch coat of cement to seal it. Would say treat the cement with an anti algae chemicals or you will be constantly scrubbing them out. pond lily and a few gold fish to keep the bugs out. solar fountains for noise. Perfection. Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see your finished bathroom door. One step closer to that bubble bath you so deserve.
17:34 Jonathan is a great cameraman! He has his hands in everything and I think it’s wonderful! Tracey, no one works harder than you. The ponds look so good after there bath. They’ll make beautiful fountains in the future. Great commentary Jonathan. God bless and be safe. ♥️🇫🇷🌺
💕Wow if you could build a plinth in the middle of each for the fountains then dig it out to make them deeper you could add goldfish or koi💕You can get special covers to stop wildlife getting the fish💕NO other chateau has a beautiful fish pond you could have two💕
Tracy you are a women of many talents. Jonathon appreciates your efforts and is becoming quite the grown up.
Jonathan is such a sweetie doing his chat and working the camera. I love the idea of fountains in those circles Tracy...they're looking great and good job driving the tractor too!!!!
Thank you 😊
Bravo pour votre travail et votre courage...ce n'est pas une maman que vous avez c est une tornade !,quel dynamisme chapeau merci
Jonathan is such a gem!!
Tracy you are an amazing woman! Terry you have a beautiful, hardworking and strong mom. Blessings to you all. Everything will be beautiful.
Thank you 🙏
Oh, Jonathan, his cute little face, his freckles, his little teeth,. So cute.
Oh Jonathan that was fabulous. Well done little man👏👏👏
Thank you 🙏
The two T’s, great duo, who work so well together! Love your work station in the fresh air and sunshine 🌞
Jonathan our famous cinematographer!!! Great job, chasing around, showing off all that hard work!!!❤ Happy belated birthday 🎂 🥳 I heard it was a great party!!!
Good job on the camera Jonathan , nice to see your take on the life at the château. Tracy, you are a hard working woman, what an inspiration!! Have a great week all of you guys 🌸
Great work by all---and Johnathan is quite the video/narrator these days. Very enjoyable 22 minutes. Thank you.
Wow Tracy you truly are wonder woman! You've made a fantastic job of that door and you drove that tractor as good as any. Your strength and determination leaves me speechless. I loved little Jonathan's contribution at the end, made me laugh. Best wishes always.
Wonder Woman is at it again!♀️💪🤗
😂😂😂thank you xx
I love the fast time lapse of Tracey on the tractor and then her on slow tractor speed! 😁😁😁
😁🎶❤️💗🌸🌻🌺🍷🇨🇦🇫🇷
Happy Birthday, Jonathan! 🎂
Such a great job on the original door. The stone circles will look very beautiful with fountains in them, they will make a spectacular entrance.
Working on the original door is a labour of love, sooooo much work but it will look fabulous when it is finished. Great job on making your own videos Jonathan.
Brilliant door Tracy well done 🤗Jonathan is a great camera man🤗
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏
Great filming Johnathan!
Good evening ❤️
Admire your perseverance and tenacity to restore that door, Tracey! That door will be your legacy and a valuable addition to the cottage.
Regarding the wells, how about creating a garden in each and include fountains.
You must have the patience of a Saint with that door Tracy! X
It’s taken a while 👍👍😂
Great filming Jonathan! Loads of fun things going on @ Cheateau de la Lacelle! 😊
Tracey, you are and amazingly quick study on that door and the pools look so nice washed and tidy. 🍁
The ponds are awesome. The formal garden symmetry is definitely starting to show. You have really great bones left to help guide you in creating the new garden space. Before you repoint the rock walls or add the concrete liner don’t forget to trench over power and water lines to each pond. Now is a great time to do it while you don’t have a nice grassy lawn or formal pathway’s to destroy digging trenches. You will definitely thank yourselves later for adding power to plug in fountains and water to fill up the ponds so you do t have to drag garden hosepipe around every time they get a little low. I look forward to seeing the progress on the area.
Your mum is awesome. Felt like it's been a while since I watched her do a video
Cute Jonathan and his filming at the end…..lovely…explaining about his day with school hours and all, and what everyone else was doing..so cute.
Jonathan is an expert in front of the camera.
Very happy to see attention being paid to the water features.
Good job on the door Tracy, Jonathan is getting to be quite the videographer.

Wow your subscribers have really increased so happy for your channel!! You guys are the real deal!!
Thank you 🙏
Good morning from Canada 🇨🇦 looking forward to seeing you
Jonathan is doing a great job filming and doing the commentary. Hopefully summer vacation comes soon sweetie.
Your videos are too short-i really enjoy them. 😊 Your family is so lovely. Missed seeing Terry. 🙂
You have been very bussy a lot of work has been done you all been bussy thanks for sharing 👌👌😊
Superb job restoring that door!! A lot of time and work great job.
..make the water fountain smaller in the center and then plant flowers around inside the rest of the circle...
Tracy doing a fantastic job !!! You all are ,love the videos !!! Watching from the USA ,God Bless and good health everyone !!!
I’m so excited for you that your subscribers are increasing. Yay!!
Fantastic job you are all doing
Well done doing the door Tracy, looks so good. The circles look lovely,
Love 💕 your ride on the tractor, xx
Jonathan is so cute. Love all the freckles. Love watching your videos and all your progress.
Tracy brilliant job 👍 well done.
Looks good guys. I just love you new Camera man and commentator. Great job Johnathan. 👏
I can’t wait to see the fountains complete and working!
Cardboard is the best weed suppressor and a good and natural way to enhance the soil... No dig gardens!
Before concrete think about rubber pond liner.👍 Oh Ya, think about Koi too. 💝What's one more thing to look after?😊 If you come up with any spare time 🙄(after all needs done r done) 🥳u could re point the fountains & cobblestone between & up to the stairs.🤔 A Real courtyard 💖💃🏆
Edit) I'm not saying now, (hence the done part) I mean something that can be added to as time & finance allow.🙃🙄
Oooh. Nearly 50k. Excellent!
Lots of projects, for sure. You're my favorite chateau channel to watch because you actually do stuff! You seem like such a nice family.
I’m a new to your channel and am completely in awe of your hard work to the cottage. Beautiful.
Enjoyed. The restoration of the door is coming along nicely. I love the discovery of the fountain pools.
Bravo Jonathan future film maker
Great progress as always. Well done Jonathan on your filming. Very impressive👏🏻👏🏻
It is he is so clever 👍👍😊
You do a great job on the door
Mum is such an inspiration.
Thank you 🙏
You are my English’s favorite family. The « firm» of Lalacelle! I love all of you. Bonne continuation! From Québec.
💕I LOVE when people recycle & bring back to life items from around there home💕Especially woodwork💕I still have doors in my house that are nearly 90yrs old💕
Nice see you all . The door is looking good.
I think you all must have lost weight since moving in to the château. You all work so hard, harder than working out in a gym! What a great difference the power washer makes in cleaning those stones, amazing!! Jonathan is a good camera man!!
He is great 👍 I 😊😊
Jonathan is a little cutie! Will he be working on directing films soon??
Perfectly imperfect!🥰
Hello, from small town Texas! Found your channel last weekend and just love it!
Thank you so much for joining us 🥰
Wow those circular raised beds will look amazing with soil and plants in them. I like your little cameraman.
Great video! Enjoyed seeing and hearing from Jonathon. And well done Tracy! The door is starting to look fabulous! Hope you’ll use nice patterned frosting on the glass inserts. And I love how you pitch in and learn new things like the glass edgings and using the tractor. You’re a star Tracy!
Thank you Jennifer 😊😊
Love your work Tracy that door is looking fantastic. The circles will look wonderful with fountains in for sure. How cute is Jonathan on the camera. He may have found his calling 😁❤️
The future fountain should not be filled with concrete. I would put heavy layers of cardboard and heavy landscape fabric used for pools/ponds along with a layer of gravel and stones. Nice job on the door and love Jonathan’s comments at the end. Great job all round. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Missed the live! So much work Tracy!! Your home will be magnificent! (Please wear safety goggles when using the high powered washer! A friend got a very small piece of metal in the white of her eye, and didn't realize it at first. She thought it was her allergies....but when it started hurting and turning red she went to have it checked and the optometrist had to remove it....turns out it had started rusting in her eye!) We want you to stay well!! Hugs from Canada!
You definitely won't forget the time it took you Tracy and how dedicated you were to Restoring The bathroom/kitchen door love will you 🥰 .it's looking good 👍. 💛💚💜💙🤎🤍🧡❤xxxxx
It is sue nearly there 👍👍😊
Yer mams a typical north east lass gettin stuck in. We r not scared of hard work up here. I’m gonna keep watching to see how yer get on. The little lad is a little toppa I hope he’s keeping ok.
We are 😂😂Jonathan is good just been back visiting family for a couple of days 😊😊
Johnathan has grown up so much just precious 😇❤️
He is 😊😊
You could fill the fountains with water and get solar foundations.
I absolutely enjoy your videos on the progress as well as your family personalities. I am not a fan of the Calvin Klein commercials though. I hope today is a great day at the Chateau for all. Great video from Jonathon, too!
Fingers crossed Tracey all you hard work will be worth it. It easy to just pop to brico and buy a new door, but you seem to have fallen in love with that door and thats what makes it special. Xxx well done love. Xxx
Jonathan is a good camera man
Do you think the two water butts would have been built identically with the same number of stone courses?
They'd look nice planted up with sunflowers or suchlike .
You're going to be very happy with the kitchen door. It will look gorgeous.
wow you all have some great restoration skills. The door is going to be awesome. Wow, this looks so very good. I would render is also. It would stabilize all the stones too. Somebody better wake up ... lol lol Nice you can use the tractor!!!
Tracy I say it again you are amazing. Love Jonathan’s filming career started lol
Love watching you. Do you ever get one project completed? As in “done and move on?” Your multitudinous way of doing projects would drive me bonkers. Keep up the good work.
We have to work with what the day brings there is so many jobs we have to just chip away at each one 👍👍😊
Great camera work Jonathan! Let’s see some more from you!
