    It is sweet how Michael leads us around through swamp, brambles and ruined buildings with a baking oven, explaining and commenting on everything.
    The Picknick with Steph and the twig-knife is also nice.
    Well done Michael.

    Stephanie has such a bright spirit, it's like she lights up the entire room when she's around. It probably feels like befriending a real live Disney princess too. Living in a château, having picnics and etc. Very lovely to watch tbh. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. Subscribed to Stephanie's channel too.

While my heart goes out to all those who have suffered during the horrors of 2020, a video like this and the time to watch it, is a blessing. In wintry, brown, burnt Australia my heart craves greenery and water, both of which you provided. Thank you, Michael.

    Smell of Almond maybe from ... Filipendula ulmaria, commonly known as meadowsweet or mead wort, is a perennial herb in the family Rosaceae that grows in damp meadows. It is native throughout most of Europe

      It is also a sign of arsenic, though I don't know how it would be in a stream.

    • @MichelleSinTO
      @MichelleSinTO 4 роки тому +11

      gaiayoyo almond smell refers to cyanide, not arsenic. Meadowsweet sounds likely here, though dissolved cyanide salts was my first thought. Arsenic smells more like garlic, when heated.

    Does Stephanie have names of the people who unlawfully bullied her into draining the lake? Did those people profit from their treachery and the funds that would have been assigned to help her achieve compliance, that she initially didn't know she forfeited? Those people are corrupt, those funds should go to restoring the lake and those people who misused the law as a bludgeon should be brought up on charges.

    • @oraetlabora2612

      @mrs.e3909 4 роки тому +31

      I agree, Who would want to drain another person's lake or property unless they were looking for something, or wanted to profit themselves from it. I had read in a book that in many of the old castles and chateaus there was often an underground tunnel that lead from beneath the castle to areas where people kept their treasures/riches hidden. The rooms where these things were stored often were at the end of the tunnel, near, or in some cases, under the lakes around the property. Interesting.

    The smell of almonds, is what certain poisons; like cyanide, for example; When a predator chomps into a seed, an enzyme that breaks mandelonitrile down into benzaldehyde and cyanide is released. The cyanide dissuades consumption with help from the bitter taste of benzaldehyde, which is also responsible for the classic smell of almonds. Jan 18, 2019

    This video was full of adventure and fun and thank you for bringing us along! Your right, it's a beautiful fairy world in the woods and along the stream and was thrilling to see it.
    After watching your video it seems more important now than ever to restore the lake along with the mill as they are jewels in the Chateau's history.

    Lovely job Michael! Thank you for taking me with you into the forest - such a beautiful little adventure. :) I know first hand, how time consuming it is to edit video, upload to YT, etc. and therefore have a great deal of appreciation and respect for your dedication to your craft and your audience. Well done! I hope you're feeling much better. :)

    Jolly good show, Petherick! well done Sir! Watched this with my 12 year old son Charlie and we loved it, especially the exciting walking through water, we were on tenterhooks watching you and hoping you wouldn't slip under that bridge!! Delighted you finally have a laptop, and you can now edit on the go! And congrats on getting this together in such a short time-frame, there was something really special about watching it on the day you had all those adventures! Looking forward to the next one, Niamh in Dublin xx

    I can imagine your pain at the stress theyve caused you Stephanie regarding the lake. Loved this video. Great to see you showing us round the stream.

    One quick and easy way to tell if it’s pyrite or gold is check it with a strong magnet. If it sticks to the magnet it’s pyrite if it doesn’t then it’s gold. Wonderful video Michael. It’s such a beautiful area. Also I can picture you making a vintage explorer outfit for such occasions!❤️

    the lake project is a beautifull chance to combine her plans of putting back the lake with an island in it with a very ecological way of developing this area. A wetland is a piece of nature with alot of ecological diversity so keeping that in mind gives her soooooo much opportunity to make something valuable with this project.

    Love how you just take us on a wee adventure! I am stuck in a flat on lockdown but I used to travel a lot and these little adventures of whether your foot will slip as you go up the river and have no guide are the nearest things to having an adventure. Cheers Michael!

    Love watching your fabulous UA-cam channel. You could make a fortune with fishing & charging the public to fish on a day ticket.
    Please keep producing these wonderful productions.
