As a retired interior designer I found the history and process of Lincrusta fascinating. It would be so nice if they could reproduce your paper and provide it with the idea of showcasing the finished project in a video. You could be a great advertisement for historic preservation and restoration.
Michael, I have to say, this is one of your best video's - I mean they are all super, but this video is so well put together and so much information and historic information - this is like a National Geographic field trip. Just amazing!
You can drive in any country if you take driver's training in the US. I used to have a few foreign exchange students in my Driver's Ed classes. If they could get into the class, it was much cheaper and easier to get a license than in Europe. To tell the truth, they were excellent students and did very well, especially since they weren't allowed to drive outside of class like is required by US students.
You know what it lovely to see? Two brothers enjoying a journey together, having some fun while accomplishing some business. It really is a joy to behold.
Hey Jason, from one Californian to another, isn’t it wonderful to dream about châteaus in France- and then to run into a content creator while vacationing in England-that was the cherry on top for that day I’m sure.
Isn't it heartening for you, Billy and Phil to know that people will know you and be so happy to see you no matter where you go just because of your Vlogs? Your smiles shine through us❤
Wow, this is such an exciting journey to follow the history of the wallpaper. Keeping my fingers crossed that it can be reproduced and you can re create your original dining room.
I share your passion for historical buildings and history. This is so exciting. Thank you for hand delivering the samples and taking us along for the ride. The whole video was beautiful. Hope the three of you had a great time.
This video was wonderful. It is good to see artists who are all interested in history and restoration get together. Looks like a hopeful beginning to one of your new projects.
I can't believe you were at Downton Abby! I'm so jealous and I expected Carson too meet you at the door! This whole video has been a learning experience and It's so nice to see the books that your aunt illustrates! I can see how the talent runs in the family! Congratulation on passing your driving test and looking forward to see what the outcome will be of the Lincrusta wallpaper sample. Thank you for taking us to England with you!
Hats off to you Michael! I've gotta say, that I've been with y'all since day 1 and the amount of growth that I've seen you go through is absolutely epic. As someone that struggles with depression and such when ever I watch the channels videos it offers me an escape, helps me feel better and inspires me to do great things. Congrats on passing your test and I'm glad y'all were able to get the wall covering to Lincrusta! So excited to see more progress! Keep up the amazing work and I'm so proud of you guys! Much love and well wishes!
So Michael got his talent from his uncle and his aunts ability to illustrate. Loving the tour, congratulations on the test. A long time ago in the early 60’s in north east texas we had driving text books and drivers ed and got our license at 14. Given that it was so far away from places we had to be able to drive to get anywhere! Bizarre
LOL @ a long time ago in the 60s"... I was born in 1958 so I know that is 65 years ago but never heard it referred to as a long time ago... but I guess it was LOL
I feel absolutely giddy!! To hold this piece of history in your hands..... It's so beautiful and THAT ARCHIVE BOOK!!! That's akin to heaven 🥰🥰 TY Michael for this continued journey and YES you should do your own books plural!!! 😄😜😁 ❤❤
Michael you really do have an onscreen sparkle, it’s obvious you’re passionate about history, congrats on driving test & can’t wait for wallpaper outcome, my guess it’ll be positive & possible.
Great video, so glad you took the paper to Lincrusta. If they create a new roller, get them to market it as the Baismagnee range. 🎉🎉🎉 Congrats on passing your theory 🎉🎉🎉
Looks like you boys had a fabulous time together. The showroom at Lincrusta had so much to look at. I wish you could have spent a little more time looking at samples so we could understand just how vast their collection is. So much beauty and possibility in one place. I really hope you can make more time to go back and have a proper look at things. I think the master suite as well as the other rooms on the first floor at the chateau should also be done in the same period as the main floor, if you can raise the finds to do it. Those rooms would have been occupied by the owners, and would have been decorated with the same finery as the main floor. Of course, Billy and Gwendolyn would need to make all the final decisions on how they're decorated. Don't be afraid to dream really big, guys. Just look what all you've accomplished in just 7 years. Sending you all lots of love and hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
Such a great trip for Michael, Billy and Phil! And how exciting for the folks from Fresno to run into the Pethericks at Highclere castle! And to get a book with your aunt’s illustrations as well as the bottle of gin.❤ The Lincrusta paper is so beautiful - I really hope they can make it again for La Basmaigne.
What a fabulous company. You can see why they have been in business for so many years. I really hope that it all works out for you and the walls can be restored to as near to original as possible. It was lovely to see the beautiful property too. Another place to add to my travel wish list. ❤🐨
I so enjoyed the segment on the wallpaper and possibly having it reproduced again what a Amazing company and so pleasant and also willing to share their history….I absolutely love wallpaper actually I am trying to choose between two wallpaper for my kitchen!Wallpapering is a art but so rewarding when it’s hanging for years to come…..Thank You Michael for sharing this journey
What a cool thing to be able to do - take a piece of the original chateau back to the company that made it, full-circle. They must be so thrilled to see it and meet you. Highclere Castle was gorgeous! I loved Downton Abbey and would be so happy to take that tour someday. Also, congrats on your successful driving theory test! Looking forward to seeing you buzz around having adventures under your own power. 😉💕
That was exciting to think there is a possibility of replicating the wallpaper. Congratulations Michael on passing your theory best of luck on the practical side. Loved the visit ❤️ to Highclere. Thanks so much for sharing xx
I was also thrilled that you were able to carry the wallpaper samples to Lincrusta in person, Michael! Good luck getting them replicated. The other visits to Downton Abbey, licensing bureau, etc sounds like great fun too!
What a cool video! Congratulations on passing your test! I'm excited for you. When I saw you were at Highclere, I thought "Oh, I hope you see Jason Nash while you're there" and there he was! Go Jason. It was so nice of him to give you the gift pack. I'm glad you also followed up on the wallpaper. Wow, a whirlwind of a great trip. Thanks for sharing the highlights with us. ❤U
So much in this video Michael, all fascinating stuff! What a privilege playing the piano at Highclere - not many people could say they’ve done that I’m sure. The outcome of the wallpaper investigation will be very interesting so keep us posted please?
You should frame a piece of the original paper for the history of the château or even cover a beautiful box and keep as much of the original paper and reuse it where possible. This original paper should not be discarded at all. It’s part of history that will never come back to reality. 😊 21:46
Dear Michael, You always produce an interesting and enjoyable video. You are a natural interviewer and how lovely to meet someone who is a fan of yours. I’m going to enjoy the journey of the wallpaper and congratulations on passing your driving test. xx
Good on you for passing the written driving test. Visit to Highclere Castle was a delight. Always have a giggle when Michael impersonates Mrs. Patmore ❤ Thanks for the follow up on the Lincrusta wall covering. Wise move hand delivering your sample to the sales office. Maine USA
This was fantastic Michael! Loved the time at Highclere castle , learning about your aunt and uncle and the lincrusta visit. If you ever plan a tour in England, I’d sign up! You’d make a fabulous tour guide!
My thoughts precisely ...tours of the great-house of England & castles of England & Scotland, etc. & chateaus of Frances & eventually great houses & castles of Europe. He could become the historian par excellence of these great places ...maybe churches and other places as well!
This whole episode was epic! Each segment was so interesting and you’ve shown us the history of things which represent why we love your channel so very much.
Fascinating video. The Lincrusta part was so interesting. I hope the design can be reproduced in some way. Highclere visit looked like a lot of fun . I’ve read lots of Jason’s comments on the vlogs so it was nice to put a face to the name. What a beautiful place to work, too! And it just proves you Petherick brothers are global celebrities 😂😂 ❤
Wow! What a trip you all had. Driver's written test (I scored 100% on mine in California 50 years ago!) Gotta get you driving kiddo! Love that you ran into some fans at the castle. Billy seemed a bit grumpy but he's probably just tired. He works so hard at the convent! Loved the visit with the wallpaper folks. Fingers crossed it's affordable. Cheers!
Well done Michael for passing your theory test 🎉 . Nice to Jason, he does make me laugh, and what a fabulous job he has. Wow hope the wallpaper can be reproduced and what such history nof it. Thanks it was good to watch Michael. Very informative ❤
Don't put your chateau down Billy.....yours is amazing as well, just a different style and type. All beautiful!! Yea Michael for the start of your driver's license....well done and in a few months, you can have your own wheels!! Congratulations!! Well, there is a lot of talent in your family....another artist. There you go Michael art is in your blood! So exciting about the wallpaper....so glad that you did it in person too!!
Fantastic video Michael, one of your best, from the tour of Highclere Castle meeting Jason and American fans to passing your theory test - well done so pleased you will finally be independent when you do the practical test - and the amazing visit at Lincrusta. Loved it! Hope you 3 boys had a fun time together, sure you did!!!! X
What a great video this was! I loved seeing Highclere Castle even if we couldn't see inside but then to see someone who is a big fan get to meet you was also fun. I found the story of the wall covering to be really interesting as well and I really hope that you and the company can find some way to recreate such a beautiful paper for the chateau.
It is encouraging that these materials are being reproduced. Whether in the original materials (preferred) or in contempory materials. I am impressed you are going through the effort (and expense) to recreeate this wonderful material,
Congratulations Michael on passing your test 🎉 How lovely to play the piano in the drawing room I believe it is an old model D steinway concert grand. Years ago I played the bechstein grand in the drawing room at Longleat house Kind regards Nicholas 😂
Some years ago when they were redecorating the drawing room at Highclere they found painted over cupboards in the door recess and on opening them, they were full of Egyptian antiquities:
Congratulations on passing your theory test, I see you driving around in a smart sports car. Loved the Highclere trip, Tuttankhamun fascinated me as a child can you imagine the thrill of breaking that seal and finding all the incredible artefacts inside. Lincrusta was interesting and what a lovely lady who was obviously passionate about her work, loved it all. Hugs to Bertie ❤
You have so much passion and excitement towards this wall paper that you got me excited (I am sure I am not the only one) then I see that the rollers are still hand made and I was like ZOINKS! 😳
Hello Michael I’m from America, I’ve been watching you and your family from the beginning. I just want you to know you made me feel better about not having my license yet at the age of 28, makes me feel like it’s not too late. Love you so much, crack on💕🇺🇸
Nice video Michael and must say to Billy that your castle is much more beautiful with many details, and not just a big box with towers, No you can be proud and how beautiful it has become with your hard work. And congratulations on the theory test well done with such a high score. Wishing you all a good summer,😘🦮🐎🦋🐞🌻🌷🍀
Just revisited this video on Wednesday, June 26, 2024‼️❣️‼️ So-so-special, a real pleasure. Greetings from San Mateo, CA - three months in my new home!
I've been waiting to hear about the wall covering! I'm so happy you took it there your self and got to see the place and talk to her. It will be amazing if they can reproduce this, because it's one of a kind and so beautiful. I heard you say something about using this product in other places. That would be so cool to see it in other places in the Chateau. Not the same design, but other designs of theirs. It's art. I'm also happy to see a follower of yours and Billy's found you at Downton Abby. What a huge place. The box lunch's looked good, and what a lovey gift bag of things they gave you. How wonderful that there was a book that your family illustrated! Your whole family is very talented. Thank you for sharing and keeping us all updated.
Lots of great places you visited, thank you for taking us along👍🏼. I started driving when I was about 13, our family owned blueberry fields that were harvested in late August. The berries were stacked in piles of wooden boxes around the fields and at days end they were gathered into a 5 ton truck and driven to a processor. My Dad always wanted a son but got two daughters so I got to learn the son stuff which included driving that huge truck around the field while he and a hand loaded boxes. I couldn’t reach the pedals and see out the window so they yelled directions to me as I jerked the truck around, it’s a wonder I didn’t tear the clutch out of it.😂🤣 I never actually got my legal license until age 21 , congratulations of getting your theory done, I think that’s much harder than getting the driving part. Go to a smaller town or village with a smaller car to get that part, I’d be worried to have to take it in Chelsea. 🙋🏼♀️
Wow !!! hope the wallpaper can be replicated and not too expensive.😮 the tour of Downton Abbey would have been amazing and the housekeeper was a jolly chap. Cheers ❤
Congratulations on passing your test, Michael. Soon we will see you driving your own car on the video! Loved the visit in the Lincrusta showroom and getting to visit the grounds of Highclere. 💕💞💕
A great video! Congrats on passing your test. The interview with Lincrusta, how they make it was very interesting! Love Downton Abby, Highclere Castle. Glad you took Philip with you.
Michael, it seems they loved you bringing them the piece o wallpaper and I pray they can reproduce it for so the dining room is back to its original glory. Thanks to Linguists for being so kind and looking into this for them. And it is amazing how it is made. Textiles I do so love and yours last and stay gorgeous!
What fun field trips. Bill must be so proud of his baby brother. I know all who love and appreciate you are! It was very interesting learning abt Lincrusta wall papers. Thank you!
An action packed (feel good) adventure all around, made for a fantastic vlog(s) 🥳 Congrats on passing your test, Michael... it won't be long now, enjoy lots of practice...
I have just loved the trip to Lincrusta and all the history, I have found it all very interesting, and can't wait to see if they can reproduce your paper. Well done Michael on passing your Theory test x
Wow what a fun vlog. Did not know art ran in his family. Yes he should write and illustrate books. Buying books for children I’ve always been attracted to the illustrations.
Great to see you back Michael. Highclere is on my list of places to visit but found your visit to Lincrusta really interesting. Are they open to the public to visit to see their fabulous designs? Congratulations on passing your theory, hope you can get booked in to do your test within your 2 years. Looking forward to seeing how the cottage is progressing.
Congratulation on passing your drivers exam! The world will open up once you get behind the wheel. Wonderful video, always a happy day when you share with us. So nice you ran into subscribers - see how happy you make people! Lovely gifts from Downton Abbey. I so hope the wallpaper gets reproduced for you - I love it! I know years ago when we bought embossed papers they were very expensive. $45 canadian dollars in the 70's so I could not imagine the price now.
If you kept part of the original paper and had it framed like the Marketing lady said, you could hang it on the new wallpaper in an exact location that you wouldn't normally see it, if you use a sample in a frameless mount.
Yay! Thrilled for you….you’ll be driving in no time! Such an exciting visit to Lincrusta. Looking forward to seeing how that turns out. And see….you are recognised everywhere! This video was just delightful! Thank you. Onward! Love to you xx❤
Michael, there was so much in this video to say congratulations. From day one till today, this was the best experience. As my late aunt would say, absolutely brilliant or bloody smashing.. thanks
Beautiful intro and beautiful downtown abbey castle.. I still need to catch up on that movie. Also, I can’t wait to see what the wallpaper will come out looking like you’re very smart and you knew about the book and the little book that your art did. Illustrations in is adorable thank you Michael,missed Florian.❤
Lovely to see you in London, are you going to the Chelsea flower show and perhaps meet up with Stephanie. Great to see you back in to the swing of u tubing, very interesting content.
What an adventure and that chateau...AMAZING...I do hope you are able to have it reproduced for the chateau's original feature, so very exciting...now head to the pub for a well deserved treat...cheers...!
As if the chateau isn't stunning enough, the out--buildings are like a beautiful little village. Well done Michael, Billy, Gwendolyn, baby Ernest and granddad, as well as all the other helpers. Every vlog takes me along this journey of renewal, rebuilding and French antique hunting. Life couldn't be better for me. Thank you so much from Kona, Hawai'i Island!!!
You lucky thing touring the Castle of Downton Abbey fame. I’m a huge fan of the Show and Movie. So Jealous. The lady at Lincrusta is so lovely they must be wrapt to have that wallpaper sample from the Chateau I hope something great becomes of it all. Also Congrats on passing part of your licence. Well done ! Terrific video as usual
So happy you hand delivered the original wallpaper. Congrats on passing your written test 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 What a wonderful day at Downton Abbey. I hope to visit it one day. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Fantastic video, Michael. Congratulations on your driving test and good luck with the preparations for the practical exam. Nice to see you working on positive things in your life. The lady at Lincrusta was so kind and helpful. How wonderful that they want to work with you.
How amazing! From meeting friends, fans, to bridging the past to the present in the wall coverings. The gift of the book your Aunt had been involved in creating was especially touching.
What a fantastic video ❤ I’ll keep everything crossed for you that they can reproduce the wall covering for you xx loved your day at the Castle and your guide was blooming lovely 🥰
Well that's was a very busy visit to London.. Michael thank you so much for taking us along ...so enjoyable..and informative..so happy to see you take the wallpaper.. sending love 💞🇨🇦👍😎😊
Fascinating! Michael, if it's too costly to engrave a new roller, there may be something in their current inventory that would create a similar effect.
As a retired interior designer I found the history and process of Lincrusta fascinating. It would be so nice if they could reproduce your paper and provide it with the idea of showcasing the finished project in a video. You could be a great advertisement for historic preservation and restoration.
Michael, I have to say, this is one of your best video's - I mean they are all super, but this video is so well put together and so much information and historic information - this is like a National Geographic field trip. Just amazing!
Agreed 💯%
💯 agree
Congratulations Michael on passing the written test. You'll be driving in no time
he needs a french license no?
@@theselva You can drive in France on a UK license.
@@janetpendlebury6808Yes! Not sure how Brexit has affected it but in principle you should be able to convert your licence fairly easily.
You can drive in any country if you take driver's training in the US. I used to have a few foreign exchange students in my Driver's Ed classes. If they could get into the class, it was much cheaper and easier to get a license than in Europe. To tell the truth, they were excellent students and did very well, especially since they weren't allowed to drive outside of class like is required by US students.
You know what it lovely to see? Two brothers enjoying a journey together, having some fun while accomplishing some business. It really is a joy to behold.
I’m so happy you carried the wall coverings to the factory. I was so afraid they’d get damaged or lost otherwise. I hope they can be recreated.
Hello Michael, indeed it was an incredible and special day, a privilege to meet you. Thankyou for sharing 😉😊
I think we can all agree. It’s clear you two need to spend more time together. 😉
How lovely what a great guy you are Jason,I know this was a while ago but I'm playing catch up 😊
Hey Jason, from one Californian to another, isn’t it wonderful to dream about châteaus in France- and then to run into a content creator while vacationing in England-that was the cherry on top for that day I’m sure.
Isn't it heartening for you, Billy and Phil to know that people will know you and be so happy to see you no matter where you go just because of your Vlogs? Your smiles shine through us❤

The whole video was beautiful.
Hope the three of you had a great time.
This video was wonderful. It is good to see artists who are all interested in history and restoration get together. Looks like a hopeful beginning to one of your new projects.
I can't believe you were at Downton Abby! I'm so jealous and I expected Carson too meet you at the door!

Much love and well wishes!
So Michael got his talent from his uncle and his aunts ability to illustrate. Loving the tour, congratulations on the test. A long time ago in the early 60’s in north east texas we had driving text books and drivers ed and got our license at 14. Given that it was so far away from places we had to be able to drive to get anywhere! Bizarre
I was one of those Texans that got my license at 14! In fact, it was the last year they offered it.
LOL @ a long time ago in the 60s"... I was born in 1958 so I know that is 65 years ago but never heard it referred to as a long time ago... but I guess it was LOL
Oh that must have been an amazing experience having a tour by the household staff. So jealous Michael!
Thank you for supporting true craftsmanship!
The discovery of the wall paper is amazing, and I love how enthusiastic the company is. I had never heard ofit but looks like an amazing product!
I feel absolutely giddy!! To hold this piece of history in your hands..... It's so beautiful and THAT ARCHIVE BOOK!!! That's akin to heaven 🥰🥰 TY Michael for this continued journey and YES you should do your own books plural!!! 😄😜😁 ❤❤
Michael you really do have an onscreen sparkle, it’s obvious you’re passionate about history, congrats on driving test & can’t wait for wallpaper outcome, my guess it’ll be positive & possible.
He has IT

And to get a book with your aunt’s illustrations as well as the bottle of gin.❤ The Lincrusta paper is so beautiful - I really hope they can make it again for La Basmaigne.
My jaw dropped when you introduced the people from Fresno as I sat here in Fresno (my birthplace) watching! Great video.
What a fabulous company. You can see why they have been in business for so many years. I really hope that it all works out for you and the walls can be restored to as near to original as possible. It was lovely to see the beautiful property too. Another place to add to my travel wish list. ❤🐨
I so enjoyed the segment on the wallpaper and possibly having it reproduced again what a Amazing company and so pleasant and also willing to share their history….I absolutely love wallpaper actually I am trying to choose between two wallpaper for my kitchen!Wallpapering is a art but so rewarding when it’s hanging for years to come…..Thank You Michael for sharing this journey

I’m in hospital with a broken leg waiting surgery and this video lifted my spirits so much! ❤
Note to Lincrusta: I have never known about Lincrusta until these Vlogs, now I love it and wish to have some in my home.
Michael, getting Lincrusta on the radar of thousands of new people. This will be a very interesting journey.
I was also thrilled that you were able to carry the wallpaper samples to Lincrusta in person, Michael!
Good luck getting them replicated. The other visits to Downton Abbey, licensing bureau, etc sounds like great fun too!

Your videos are like movies and documentaries all in one…..love them! ❤

Some years ago when they were redecorating the drawing room at Highclere they found painted over cupboards in the door recess and on opening them, they were full of Egyptian antiquities:
Hidden Egyptian figures that may be from the tomb of King Tut. 😮
Congratulations on passing your theory test, I see you driving around in a smart sports car.

Lincrusta was interesting and what a lovely lady who was obviously passionate about her work, loved it all. Hugs to Bertie ❤
Aww, what a sweet little serendipitous moment you were able to capture with the lovely lady from Fresno.
You have so much passion and excitement towards this wall paper that you got me excited (I am sure I am not the only one) then I see that the rollers are still hand made and I was like ZOINKS! 😳
This is fun seeing Michael from his own channel. Now I know why everyone missed him. Seems I have a new binge watch catchup❤️❤️👌👌👏👏🙏🏻
Wow 🤩 my granddaughter passed her theory test today must be in the air Micheal well done 😊 poor Phil always gets the short straw bless him ❤
Hello Michael I’m from America, I’ve been watching you and your family from the beginning. I just want you to know you made me feel better about not having my license yet at the age of 28, makes me feel like it’s not too late. Love you so much, crack on💕🇺🇸
They will come through for you. Her team is just as excited as you for that piece of their history!!
Nice video Michael and must say to Billy that your castle is much more beautiful with many details, and not just a big box with towers, No you can be proud and how beautiful it has become with your hard work. And congratulations on the theory test well done with such a high score. Wishing you all a good summer,😘🦮🐎🦋🐞🌻🌷🍀
Just revisited this video on Wednesday, June 26, 2024‼️❣️‼️
So-so-special, a real pleasure. Greetings from San Mateo, CA - three months in my new home!
Alison is a treasure...great interview!
I absolutely love that wallpaper. I hope it doesn't cost too much to reproduce. Maybe we could start a "buy me a wallpaper roll" fund?
So happy to see someone there representing California's Central Valley Fresno!!!! ❤️Always
This is really the best advert for Lincrusta, I want it in my Victorian home now!
I've been waiting to hear about the wall covering! I'm so happy you took it there your self and got to see the place and talk to her. It will be amazing if they can reproduce this, because it's one of a kind and so beautiful. I heard you say something about using this product in other places. That would be so cool to see it in other places in the Chateau. Not the same design, but other designs of theirs. It's art. I'm also happy to see a follower of yours and Billy's found you at
Downton Abby. What a huge place. The box lunch's looked good, and what a lovey gift bag of things they gave you. How wonderful that there was a book that your family illustrated! Your whole family is very talented. Thank you for sharing and keeping us all updated.
Congratulations on passing your test🎉🎉🎉
This is the Michael I first started watching. Fun loving and interesting vlogs. Congrats on you written drivers test too!
Lots of great places you visited, thank you for taking us along👍🏼. I started driving when I was about 13, our family owned blueberry fields that were harvested in late August. The berries were stacked in piles of wooden boxes around the fields and at days end they were gathered into a 5 ton truck and driven to a processor. My Dad always wanted a son but got two daughters so I got to learn the son stuff which included driving that huge truck around the field while he and a hand loaded boxes. I couldn’t reach the pedals and see out the window so they yelled directions to me as I jerked the truck around, it’s a wonder I didn’t tear the clutch out of it.😂🤣 I never actually got my legal license until age 21 , congratulations of getting your theory done, I think that’s much harder than getting the driving part. Go to a smaller town or village with a smaller car to get that part, I’d be worried to have to take it in Chelsea. 🙋🏼♀️
Wow !!! hope the wallpaper can be replicated and not too expensive.😮 the tour of Downton Abbey would have been amazing and the housekeeper was a jolly chap. Cheers ❤
Congratulations on passing your test, Michael. Soon we will see you driving your own car on the video! Loved the visit in the Lincrusta showroom and getting to visit the grounds of Highclere. 💕💞💕
A great video! Congrats on passing your test. The interview with Lincrusta, how they make it was very interesting! Love Downton Abby, Highclere Castle. Glad you took Philip with you.
Michael, it seems they loved you bringing them the piece o wallpaper and I pray they can reproduce it for so the dining room is back to its original glory. Thanks to Linguists for being so kind and looking into this for them. And it is amazing how it is made. Textiles I do so love and yours last and stay gorgeous!
I love Highclere I’ve been there many times and the champagne is to die for
What a jammed packed episode. Thank you all for a great time.
What fun field trips. Bill must be so proud of his baby brother. I know all who love and appreciate you are! It was very interesting learning abt Lincrusta wall papers. Thank you!
An action packed (feel good) adventure all around, made for a fantastic vlog(s)
🥳 Congrats on passing your test, Michael... it won't be long now, enjoy lots of practice...
Wow Michael, this fantastic. What a real treasure you have found, just amazing. Thank you, God bless.
Yay! Making progress! Bravo, Michael!
I have just loved the trip to Lincrusta and all the history, I have found it all very interesting, and can't wait to see if they can reproduce your paper. Well done Michael on passing your Theory test x
Wow what a fun vlog. Did not know art ran in his family. Yes he should write and illustrate books. Buying books for children I’ve always been attracted to the illustrations.
Great to see you back Michael. Highclere is on my list of places to visit but found your visit to Lincrusta really interesting. Are they open to the public to visit to see their fabulous designs? Congratulations on passing your theory, hope you can get booked in to do your test within your 2 years. Looking forward to seeing how the cottage is progressing.
Congratulation on passing your drivers exam! The world will open up once you get behind the wheel. Wonderful video, always a happy day when you share with us. So nice you ran into subscribers - see how happy you make people! Lovely gifts from Downton Abbey. I so hope the wallpaper gets reproduced for you - I love it! I know years ago when we bought embossed papers they were very expensive. $45 canadian dollars in the 70's so I could not imagine the price now.
If you kept part of the original paper and had it framed like the Marketing lady said, you could hang it on the new wallpaper in an exact location that you wouldn't normally see it, if you use a sample in a frameless mount.
Congratulations on your test! You are such a natural when you are in the art and design arena.
Yay! Thrilled for you….you’ll be driving in no time! Such an exciting visit to Lincrusta. Looking forward to seeing how that turns out. And see….you are recognised everywhere! This video was just delightful! Thank you. Onward! Love to you xx❤
Michael, there was so much in this video to say congratulations. From day one till today, this was the best experience. As my late aunt would say, absolutely brilliant or bloody smashing.. thanks
Beautiful intro and beautiful downtown abbey castle.. I still need to catch up on that movie. Also, I can’t wait to see what the wallpaper will come out looking like you’re very smart and you knew about the book and the little book that your art did. Illustrations in is adorable thank you Michael,missed Florian.❤
Michael, your enthusiasm is so fun and refreshing. Thank you for this.
I am always so excited to see your content come up in my queue. This one is especially wonderful. Thank you for taking us on your incredible journey!
Lovely to see you in London, are you going to the Chelsea flower show and perhaps meet up with Stephanie. Great to see you back in to the swing of u tubing, very interesting content.
What an adventure and that chateau...AMAZING...I do hope you are able to have it reproduced for the chateau's original feature, so very exciting...now head to the pub for a well deserved treat...cheers...!
As if the chateau isn't stunning enough, the out--buildings are like a beautiful little village. Well done Michael, Billy, Gwendolyn, baby Ernest and granddad, as well as all the other helpers. Every vlog takes me along this journey of renewal, rebuilding and French antique hunting. Life couldn't be better for me. Thank you so much from Kona, Hawai'i Island!!!
You lucky thing touring the Castle of Downton Abbey fame. I’m a huge fan of the Show and Movie. So Jealous. The lady at Lincrusta is so lovely they must be wrapt to have that wallpaper sample from the Chateau I hope something great becomes of it all. Also Congrats on passing part of your licence. Well done ! Terrific video as usual
Visiting Highclere Castle is so enchanting! Thank you for sharing!!!😊
So happy you hand delivered the original wallpaper. Congrats on passing your written test 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 What a wonderful day at Downton Abbey. I hope to visit it one day. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Michael , I had such fun with you guys , you should make some more tour videos ! Keep on doing it ourselves , you're the best !
Fantastic video, Michael. Congratulations on your driving test and good luck with the preparations for the practical exam. Nice to see you working on positive things in your life. The lady at Lincrusta was so kind and helpful. How wonderful that they want to work with you.
How amazing! From meeting friends, fans, to bridging the past to the present in the wall coverings. The gift of the book your Aunt had been involved in creating was especially touching.
So much excitement in one video! Loved it!
What a fantastic video ❤ I’ll keep everything crossed for you that they can reproduce the wall covering for you xx loved your day at the Castle and your guide was blooming lovely 🥰
Well that's was a very busy visit to London.. Michael thank you so much for taking us along ...so enjoyable..and informative..so happy to see you take the wallpaper.. sending love 💞🇨🇦👍😎😊
Fascinating! Michael, if it's too costly to engrave a new roller, there may be something in their current inventory that would create a similar effect.
