@@sjohnson9202I like that saying that old ladies can say what they want. 😂 Didn't know that, so thank you for that ❤. I too think that Brian is a lovely man who deserves more from life than tough construction work and being cold all the time. Since you and I seem to share the same crampy seat in Pascal any ideas how we can get this man way more subscribers?
What I like about your vlogs is that although there may be 46 of us watching, it feels like you are just chatting with me alone, and I am sure there are many others who feel the same way. It’s like catching up with a friend. I look forward everyday to your vlogs…thank you so much.
Today your story begins with a mouse and finishes with a very personal, moving memory in less then 5 minute. I am impressed... great storyteller, great experiences too

Ooohhh!!! I really like you Brian, you are such a lovely ,kind interesting man. As I have said before ,I am an old grand mum ,and I would be so proud to have you in my family 🤗
You’re definitely in the cool-but-you-don’t-know-it zone. Taking care of working day business, holding on to the good, formative people in your life, loving up that sweet puppy, making legit lasagna…and the man has a beautiful sauna. Gold stars all round. 🤩🤩🤩
Loved your 'Tom' story, Brian. Makes me wonder how many of your friends and acquaintances just so happen to think that maybe you're the coolest guy they've ever known. I think you'd be high on a 'coolest man' list.
Awwwwww the emotion from recalling that moment was palpable...... beautiful memory to share. The lasagne looked yummy. Brian, did your neighbour ever find his cat?
What could be better? Smooooth music, messy hair, Beautiful story of Tom, Vintage Javelin Jacket, Nick’s no smoking sign, cooking class of Lasagna, Sauna & Sweet Dreams!❤from Montreal
Thank you, Brian, for sharing a very special and personal memory with us. It's a privilege to glimpse some of your interior life. You are definitely a darlin. Blessings! ❤
You just gained a TON of respect in my eye, Bryan. I was on an EMT (what they used to be called) team decades ago and also worked ER at the hospital. Telling us of your friend was very touching. I had a great leader as well, named Pauline. She was something else too. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Yes and today is a great day to remember that. California has thousands of them working so hard today. Such special giving people that can help others having the worst day in their life. Takes a very “cool” caring person. Thanks to ALL first responders , Dr ER Nurses and those just being kind to others.
The opening drone footage is always a treat, but today’s opening was especially beautiful. Then the reminiscences of Tom - such a lovely tribute to one of your mentors. And then finally, the snuggles with Lottie. Loved this vlog
Anyone else start to tear up over Tom? What a lovely man he is or was. Not many have such a great mentor in their life. I see how grateful you are. I so wish everyone had a Tom in their life. Anyone else think Brian should be a “big brother” or whatever they call it in France? I would have loved my son to have had a Brian or Tom in his life. Bless your kind soul. I’m so very moved by the person I’ve met on this vlog! 💜
It is sweet how the Javelin jacket suddenly had a heart and brought you back close to another heart ✨💕💕✨ “ One only sees well with the heart “ The Little Prince Thank you 😊
Minus eight is a little chilly, do love hearing about the tap dancing “Dor Mousey thing” @ loir. Can understand your love for a Javelin jacket, I have a ripper fleecy which has been consigned to gardening during winter, both my husband and my Mum threatened to cut it up for dusting ! God bless “Tom” and your admiration for him
Brian, wonderful memory in your life, thanks for sharing. I had a Tom in my life, his name was Bob… an Italian guy from NJ. He guided me through the most productive time in my life. He was cool and maybe only had a hint that he was. I never got to thank him for everything he taught me and I never got to say good bye.
Sorry you didn’t get to say Goodbye to Bob. You sure honored him by telling all 46 of us about him. So glad you had a special person. Thanks Bob huge hugs to his memory.
I really enjoyed this wonderful story about Tom. Everyone should have met a Tom like that at least once in their life. Brian, why don't you show us the jacket you like so much
Search and Rescue Teams/ First Responders are undoubtedly all cool people. You are a special breed. Watching the Search and Recuse/ First Responders here in Los Angeles these past few days validates what I already knew, you beyond cool. Thank you to any and all who have done this service. Brian this includes you and your mentor Tom.
Hi Brian. Lovely story about your teacher. I had one also. We are lucky!!💜 He was a level 3 project manager. He took me under his wing and taught me so much. (I was fresh out of school and taking on a nuclear power plant.) I digress. Glad to see ya. Hi Nick! Love and blessings to all.❤.🎶🎶🎶❤️🎶🎶
I so loved hearing your tell us about Tom the cool. I had tears in my eyes because of your emotion in remembering. Thank you, Brian, for sharing that piece of yourself. Love to you from New York.
Thank you for sharing. We can see how much Tom means to you. ❤ For the loire, I have heard if you play loud music, they move on. Not sure how true it is though!!
What a LOVELY vlog episode! As always, your music choices are impeccable. Your story about Tom was beautiful. Your affection for the dogs at the chateau is heartwarming. And you cooked. Not much more one could ask for. ❤️☺️
We call that a "rat rodeo" where I come from! LoL tap dancing, rodeo, door mouse. Lasagna sounds nice but you didn't tell us much about the cheese... ricotta? Enjoy the sauna and thanks for sharing ❤
It's funny how memories evoke such a powerful response, even many years later. Kinda catches you at the back of the throat .... all the feels. Thank you for sharing Brian.
All because of a javelin jacket. I wonder how many people will go in search of one for you now? Beautiful story Brian. I love hearing stories of how a mentor has shaped a young man into the person he is today. Beautiful ❤❤❤
Brian … a man amongst men .. because you are funny, caring, dog lover, a great friend and neighbor, loves the outdoors, hard worker and yet is not too much of a man that you won’t show your sensitive side … Thank you for being You Brian👏DurbanSA🇿🇦
What a wonderful story on the tangent of the javelin jacket. And another layer to the man who already can do so many things. S&R person, wow. Explains your not being afraid to dangle from ropes 😄
Javlin fleece jackets were amazing! It was a British brand from Sheffield that sadly went out of business in the late-90s. The Army & Navy store in Manchester sold seconds of them for crazy-low prices, so they were pretty much standard kit for outdoors-y/student types like us (one of whom is still a mountain search & rescue team member in Scotland). PS. I just went down a Javlin Google rabbit-hole, and OMG, one of the adverts of theirs I just found... 😳
👋what a great and also emotional vlog ❤ ! these are moments in life u never forget and everytime get emotional again ! i know those too 😊!!! u r soooo real and thats why the audience and me love to watch ur vlogs !!!🥰😁 and next time give lottie a big hug and pet from all of us 😊😋
We all need a Tom in our lives! Thank you for that sweet memory Brian. Lots of vintage Javelin jackets can be found on ebay. Great episode as always! xox
This vlog touched my heart and gave me watery eyes....I can tell you have a soft heart, especially for the dogs! I enjoy traveling along on your rural France adventures! Thank you for taking the time to do your vlogs!
I had a Tom in my life named Jackie. Dyed in the wool 50s hot rodder. White T shirt with smokes rolled in the sleeve. Gearhead to the max. He was 100% disabled veteran but still got around pretty well. If he did a weekend, he spent all week recuperating. He was cool. He had class. I wasn't ever ashamed to be with him anywhere. The little town in Tennessee, everyone knew him. He was like my dad. My real dad was old enough to be my grandfather. Jack stepped in and channeled my energy that dad was lind of old to do. My dad was a great guy, and I miss both him and Jack now, especially since my wife died. I have too much time to think nowadays, 66 years old and 100% disabled veteran myself. I've always told myself that if Jack could do it, I could do it. Im slowing a lot now. Losing my wife took a lot of the energy out of me. Enjoy life while you can friend. You will blink and you will be old, it happens to all of us. Love your blog. Stay safe. And cool! Cheers Terry
If your vlogs were a book, it would be my most favourite book, read many times and well thumbed , definitely not lent out ! Im loving the chat , the beautiful French countryside and the music. Thank you so much for sharing life with us. ❤❤
Hearing about the influence of 'Tom' in your life was absolutely spesh...and I mean, could you be even more adorable than you already were, sweet Brian, when you shared about him insisting you were needed to lead a team? Plus the love you show for animals is adorable as well. 🤗 Love & appreciation, Jacqueline from New Zealand
Tom is such a Precious man in your life ,yeah he definitely means so much to you … I take it by the love you have shown for him he is no longer with us ❤❤❤❤💔if that’s the case then hold those memories forever tight … And If by chance he’s Is still here still do the same ❤❤❤❤❤… He definitely moulded you into the most amazing person we see today .. Ps Lasagne is my most favourite food ever put on this earth 😁🙌 I’ll see you in about 34 hours 😂 I wish …but sadly it’s a dream away 😊
That's definitely cool 🙂, I still have my Javlin jacket from, yes back in the 80's, warm hard wearing, they do melt if you get too near the fire though 🤔. Your memory if your mentors was great. Thanks for the vlog. Oh its 20 plus deg here in NZ 😅.
The look on your face and in your eyes when you were finished talking about "Tom" is precious. Hope he knows how much you admire him
I was going to say the same.
Well put, ruthpowers3810.
Well said!
Absolutely 😊
I, too, was emotional. Very moving story. TY
Tom helped to sculpt you into the cool, kind, funny, smart man we all love today. Well done Tom!
You're a very sweet guy. I know you're not supposed to say that about guys but you are. I'm an old lady and old ladies can say what they want.😅
He sure is. You nailed it.
We sure can. Brian, I think you are one sweetheart ❤

Me too! So glad we are part of the 46. It feels like a privlege
That is exactly right! And his humor... you gotta love his humor. ❤
Hello, Brian!

You have great heart.
Today your story begins with a mouse and finishes with a very personal, moving memory in less then 5 minute. I am impressed... great storyteller, great experiences too

Hey, show us some photos one day of you as a rescuer etc, would love to see !! ❤❤
Brian, I think you are so very cool, just like Tom. A really lovely man. ❤❤❤❤
Awwwwww the emotion from recalling that moment was palpable...... beautiful memory to share. The lasagne looked yummy. Brian, did your neighbour ever find his cat?

Hi, Brian, Search & Rescue "people" are superheroes in my opinion. I've massive respect for them. Cool vlog ❤
Yes and today is a great day to remember that. California has thousands of them working so hard today. Such special giving people that can help others having the worst day in their life. Takes a very “cool” caring person. Thanks to ALL first responders , Dr ER Nurses and those just being kind to others.
Love listening to your stories xxx
Thank you Brian for sharing the words and emotions on how 'Tom' helped shape you into the man you are. Those people are blessings.
The admiration and respect for Tom shows the kind of man you are. The cool kind! Thanks for sharing
The opening drone footage is always a treat, but today’s opening was especially beautiful. Then the reminiscences of Tom - such a lovely tribute to one of your mentors. And then finally, the snuggles with Lottie. Loved this vlog
It's nice to have someone to look up to, thanks for sharing your story Brian. It's also a great vlog when Lottie makes an appearance.

Tears from Irish eyes. 😊

God bless “Tom” and your admiration for him
Amazing story about your cool friend Tom. I hope he hears this, he would be so proud. We all should aspire to be a “Tom.”
God bless those that nurture others. It is a gift❤
Cool is cool but do not confuse cool with cold, because if you have a javelin jacket.... you're not cold, you're cool. :D
Tom sounds like an amazing peer! Love how you choose to express his amazing impact on your life! 🤩
Aww...😢..thankyou for sharing your story..we are all loving your channel.❤
I just love to see the emotion on your face, Brian .
Yourself becoming a legend. Tom and your dad must be proud ❤
Brian, that was such a lovely tribute. Thank you so much for sharing. Hope you enjoyed the lasagne!
What a lovely story. Thanks for sharing it with us. Would love to see that pic of you, Dad and Tom.
Thank you Brian. That was good.
Brian you can't tear up when your driving, it's dangerous. Well done Tom , what a man.

Beautiful memories today - thanks for sharing your day even when you feel pretty exhausted!
Felt special today
Fabulous music.... Thank you very much!!! Go Brian!!!
“Tom” evidently recognized a special person when he saw him!! You are definitely an interesting hilarious person!!!😊

Brian! Like Tom, you are cool buddy. And like most under stated folk, drilling down is required to uncover it!
Dang! Brian, you've hit me in the face with the story of Tom.I was touched.
I do like the little scènes with Lottie. So adorable.
Such a lovely and moving story about Tom and his influence on you. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hearing about the influence of 'Tom' in your life was absolutely spesh...and I mean, could you be even more adorable than you already were, sweet Brian, when you shared about him insisting you were needed to lead a team? Plus the love you show for animals is adorable as well. 🤗

Javelin jacket! Your chatty story brought back memories of dinghy sailing the the seventies - good grief! Now I’m wishing I’d hung onto mine LOL
You were born to do this!
Tom is such a Precious man in your life ,yeah he definitely means so much to you … I take it by the love you have shown for him he is no longer with us ❤❤❤❤💔if that’s the case then hold those memories forever tight …
And If by chance he’s Is still here still do the same ❤❤❤❤❤…
He definitely moulded you into the most amazing person we see today ..

I wish …but sadly it’s a dream away 😊
That's definitely cool 🙂, I still have my Javlin jacket from, yes back in the 80's, warm hard wearing, they do melt if you get too near the fire though 🤔.
Your memory if your mentors was great.
Thanks for the vlog.
Oh its 20 plus deg here in NZ 😅.
I used to have a Javelin Jacket back in the early to mid 80's!
Lovely,poignant story about your mentor Tom.❤
