    Thank you so much for giving us an update on baby Rusty. You took such good care of him! I’m sure he’ll bring his babies back to show them the château he grew up in and his human parents. It would be fun if somebody would write and illustrate a story about Rusty and the Château. I don’t understand why people make foolish remarks on UA-cam channels. We watch your channel to find out what you and Angelina or up to in your adventures. You take us interesting places and we get to see what you’re doing at the Château. There’s no time frame or agenda to be followed. We don’t get a say on when you do things or how you do things. It’s none of our business. Ignore the foolish things that foolish people say. This is your channel and I for one enjoy each of your videos very very much! Love from Vermont.

    "Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans." John Lennon. The ability to pivot to meet new challenges is a prerequisite, not only for Chateau living, but for living in general. Not all of us have, or can develop, that skill. You and Angelina are doing so well with the Chateau. It takes time and you knew that going in. Unfortunately, there is no pot of money at the end of the rainbow. Take your time, don't get discouraged (well, ok you can get discouraged for about 15minutes). It will work out in the end. I love your enthusiasm for a new day.

Lovely to hear the progress of your room and about Rusty. It must have been sad to let him go but knowing that he is where he should be. Out among the trees enjoying being a squirrel.

    Phil, my recommendation...if people are using the Comments section to be nasty or tell you that you are doing something wrong (or too slow) then just ignore them. It's yours and Angelina's chateau, so do whatever it is that you want to do. Unfortunately, the world is full of small, unkind people. I really enjoy the videos!

    Hi Phil, I was lucky enough to be with you guys, when you found Rusty. I am sure he is lurking somewhere, close to home. There are only so many hours in a day, you will get to the renovations, when you get to them. Running a pub, is a full-time job, it requires a lot of your attention to make it a success. You can't close up shop at 5pm and go home for the day and have weekends off. So, we will be watching, when you get to the renovations. Love from N.Y.

Glad to see your sweet wife for just a min also. I'm glad you aren't taking peoples criticisms serious, I like I said before we all have a limit to what we can physically do or afford to do so don't worry about what anyone says, they aren't living your life and have no clue.

    She has stated that it doesn’t bother her. She’s a sweet lady. So you can answer that 1 negative comment, ?, etc., and leave the others alone. They don’t know your business! We’re here for you! 👍🏽

    We have several squirrels that come up to our front porch and take peanuts out of our hands. We get the unsalted in-shell peanuts from a local farm supply store. They live in the trees around our house, but some of them made a nest in the porch roof and we're pretty sure they had babies up there. We haven't seen them yet, but we can hear them up there.

    If all I wanted was DIY, I'd watch HGTV or DIY or any of the plethora of DIY programs. I watch your vlog because I'm invested in you two by the amount of time I've spent with you in the rain, at a war memorial, your pub opening, pollarding trees, digging up the courtyard, driving relief supplies and so on.
    I'm hopeful for your business success at the Château and the pub and your English venture. I also wish you success and happiness in your personal life. I hope you will someday be content to live with your home the way you've made it.
    I watch you because I like you and think I would want to hang out with you, have a few drinks, maybe throw some darts and listen to some good music. Maybe we could even share some chili fries or nachos.
    Good fortune, wisdom and prosperity! I hope it all comes yo you.

    David Attenborough would be proud of you two! Rusty was adorable, but I am so glad you released him to live his life in the trees. Such a heartwarming story. You are too hard on yourself Phil. Your home is important, so how you decorate it and how fast is entirely up to you. So long as you and Angelina are happy is all that matters. As for the gardens being your main source of money for repairs, then you are right to prioritise the outside space. It looks great anyway. 😀
