    A work of art, that is what that cobblestone path looks like! Michael, you are so lucky to have such a loving family that is right there to pitch in to help with whatever needs being done. I am amazed at how strong and fit your father is. I think it was Sadie that posted the photo of your parents all dressed up for the wedding and they both looked fabulous. I was not blessed with a close or encouraging family, you and your siblings are among the lucky ones to have such wonderful parents!

    Greetings from Alaska.
    First. Happy birthday to Billy, grandma Pethrick, Anna, and Michael. (And to Bertie)
    Now on to comments. I love this cobblestone area.
    It’s such a simple project but it adds such a quaintness and charm to the cottage and garden.
    It’s even more endearing to me because it was built by all three generations of the family. Dad, both sons, and grandson. This is a memory you can all look back on and remember fondly. (Having a vlog record of it helps. lol)
    I am excited to hear about this trip. I hope you all enjoy it and have a wonderful time. You all work so hard taking care of each other, the chateau, and the various channels that you deserve the occasional break. I hope the weather is good wherever you are going and that you have loads of fun together.
    I would ask you share this with us, but I figure that’s a given as all of you together is vlogger gold. Lol
    I know Stephanie posted they were going to meet up with Kat for her birthday and I think it would be amazing if you all were able to get together.
    🧞‍♂️ (wishes ). 🤞(fingers crossed). 🤜🪵 (and knock/touch wood). Lol
    I look forward to viewing more progress on the cottage. And hope you all remain well and have a safe journey.
    As always my love to all and wish for you to stay safe.

Plus, Americans are "gaga" over Englishmen speaking English in their various, wonderful accents. Please don't stop. Happy Birthday Billy, if I were closer I would bake you a cake like I did today for my daughter, Suzanne's birthday. I miss your trips to the Brocante's along with your comments...; Nothing ends a vlog better than Ernest wandering on asking to help Thanks for a wonderful time.Mary Ann Recht, Chicago.
