About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

I see Lord Patrick is not adverse to getting his paws dirty. His new title hasn't gone to his head ...yet.
Lol He does look a little bossy though.
Not yet 😉😂
Worried he’s gonna end up with a short shnoz to match his cute widdle legs though! He’s not scared of the shovels or picks!
He helps with the work as well as supervising the job gets done properly. An extra dog bone for him.
I’m Tracy’s age ...and every time I watch her digging, I’m convinced: The Lass has Vertibrae of Brass! 😊
Nope, she’s just Wonderwoman! Thanks Jennifer :)
I know! All that bending would defeat me! Well done Tracey! Well done everyone!
It's good to see that becoming a Lord has not gone to Patrick's head, he is still being busy getting dirty and pitching in where needed!
Very democratic of Lord Patrick to dig in with the workers. Lead by example Patrick! Well done Milord.
I love watching Lord Parick digging. A very hard worker just like his Dad's.
Haha. Oh he is that!
Jonathon you are so sweet, so blessed to have the loving family that you do!
Everybody chipped in. Well done on what will be a beautiful entrance! Jonathon is a good worker and probably the most famous student in his school. 😊❤
Thank you :)
Well I see Lord Patrick is the hardest working Lord out there. All praise Lord P. :) love you guys.
Fabulous job guys. The road looks fantastic. Johnathan you are an inspiration. Most children your age are more on cell phones or in front of TV. I know grandma and granddad and Terry and Ash are so proud of you, as I am. Tracy, I am so hafor all the Birthday wishes you recieved you deserve each and every one of them. Lord Patrick is also a great hand at helping dig! All of you truly amaze me. ✨️ I wish I could still work that hard but my heart can't do it now. After 43 years as a registered nurse it is time I take care of me and guys your vlogs always lift me up. Thank you so much.
That entrance is superb. Happy birthday, Tracy. Jonathon is so lucky, he is learning so many skills that it's unlikely he will ever be bored in his life.
A good work ethic is a most valuable gift to give Jonathan. Congrats dear family!!
Thanks Jan
Lord Patrick doesn't allow his entitlement to distract him from hard work...lol
Seeing how well loved Jonathan is and the affection he is shown by all of you is so wonderful! He is challenged with tasks equivalent to his age and he is learning what it means to work hard. Jonathan will grow up to be a fine loving hard working man who knows how to love and support his close. Lovely extended family! ❤️🇨🇦
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Laura?
Lord Patrick, elegant excavator. You gotta love the little lord. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Jeanette!
Your little boy is learning very good life lessons. Working together as a family 👪. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. 😊
I just love this wonderful family, you inspire me to do more, the entrance looks amazing and Jonathan is just a treasure with the cheekiest smile,Tracy you deserve the lovely messages as you are gorgeous and so watchable, you work as hard as any man, your a lucky fella Tony, Terry and Ash are adorable, as I said I just love you all, see you Wednesday, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lord Patrick I see gave a short tutorial on how he wanted the digging to be done then went about supervising the work, I hope you made him proud of your skills, it looks great 😃👍
No one is more deserving than your family group for a happy home!! I am so refreshed to see a family unit work so hard to create such a beautiful place to live!
So much great stuff in this episode: Jonathan planting bulbs and adding the render (?) to the edging, how Tony always seems to know what to do, the decision to do the more durable skirting and drain, which looks fantastic. Your planning is long term, and there's something lovely about it. You're creating something that will last.
I am sure someone else has said it, but what an amazing family you all are! The way you work together to achieve what you have and what you will accomplish is just fabulous. I so enjoy watching your vlogs and watching your family’s progress. Bless you all.
You're such an amazing family. Absolutely nothing you can't do together.
Thank you Lori
Thank goodness you have Lord Patrick heading the excavation team. All jobs go better when the Lord is involved. What a motivational leader!
Australia would be glad to have a bunch of lovely hard working people Arms open !!! ❤😘🌻🇦🇺🙌🎈
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Cristea?
Jonathon is an excellent worker! (But he has excellent examples of good workmanship to follow!) Well done all!
You guys should put a small pub area in Chateau. Your guest would love it.
I'm always wowed at all the hard digging everyone has done! 😮! Tracy is a hard working woman! She digs and digs and digs. 😮.
Oh she does!
What a great accomplishment...that is one long driveway and to think it was done by one of the hardest working families! It's so heart warming watching you work and teach Jonathan and to see snippits of Lord Patrick digging away too! Wow! I think you should have a ribbon cutting ceremony!
Lord Patrick put in a hard days work
Always does 😂😂
All of you bring your own talents and that makes a GREAT cake!! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I have so much fun watching and get excellent ideas, too!! 😊❤😅❤
You all did a fantastic job on the zipper drain. The concrete work is really good as well. I don’t know what your considering to plant behind the entrance wall, but a few ornamental trees would look beautiful with a bunch of bulbs, with different bloom times. Poor Lord Patrick, he spent the day sniffing out truffles and no one noticed. 🤣🥲Jonathan, you did a fantastic job on the landscaping and hard scape! Your a natural!!! Cheers to a job well done. God bless and be safe ♥️🇫🇷🏰✨
Your a Great Family. Young and Older working near by near. Big Project all together. Iam sooo exciting for new Videos
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Anja?
LORD Patrick digging and barking, so focused.

Jonathan has such a beautiful smile. He is a great little worker.😊

Johnathan is growing so fast, I love how he is always ready to help out.
Patrick showing everyone how it is done. So adorable. Really enjoying sharing this adventure with the family!
This driveway is incredible!! I can't believe that you built most of it by hand....amazing!!! Like the saying says, " if there is a will there is a way" and you guys did it as a team. Well done!!
Johnathon is always so willing, such a hard worker and he will be learning so much.
I See Lord Patrick Is dipping Helping You To Made The Drive Way 🐶🐕💕
Great job, everyone. I think I heard Ash say "chain gang." Funny and true, right? 😉 You'll take pride in your accomplishment every time you turn into your property. Glad the weather is cooperating for you. Passe une bonne semaine!
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Wanda?
I love how Patrick is always helping you all dig!!! lol He is very serious about it also. lol I think Tracy has dug more dirt here than anyone! She is a workhorse for sure ... You all have done such a great job on this concrete entrance. Excellent.
Sir digsalot is helping the team again lol…. The entrance is really starting to take shape… well done everyone.
I noticed you have trees planted along the driveway. Hope they are not too close to it in case you want to widen driveway later on? Your family works so well together! Grats to you all 👏👏👏👏👍👍🇭🇲
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Jean?

He’s a bit cute!
Congratulations team Lalacelle. Brillant job, well done.
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Sue?
I can already picture it in the spring. That is going to be a amusingly beautiful entrance to the chateau. Plus I just love how the whole family works together to get things done. Chateau de Lalacelle is going to be so beautiful. Good job to everyone one of you.
What an amazing job with all hands on deck 👏. Little Patrick is such good help 😀
Everything your family does is amazing. I bet that bath tub feels good at night. 😊🇺🇸
Absolutely Catherine
The chateau looking stunning and I am loving how Patrick like to help with the digging of the road soo cute those little leg's going ten to a dozen 🤣( Lord Patrick).great video x 💕🌼🤗
Oh my goodness, Patrick is the cutest thing! He loves to help dig. 😂 I so admire the teamwork you all have.
Jonathan is getting tall! And is such a good worker!
Lord Patrick certrainly enjoys his digging! You should get in touch with Steve from Manor and Maker for your logo. He does fantastic work.
Thanks Jane :)
The entrance looks amazing!
Good suggestion
It is one elegant and stunning entrance. Tony hit the nail on the head...it draws you in!!!❤ The pride on your faces says it all.
Thanks Jo!
Lord Patrick is having the time of his life with all that digging! What an amazing hardworking family you are!
Terry, your Mum will do anything! She is truly remarkable! Great spirit within, for sure! Cheers!
One would think you have been restoring Chateaus and building driveways your entire lives. Your attention to detail and thoughtfulness with each job will certainly ensure the chateau and grounds will be around for hundreds of years to follow. With each video you share and since the beginning I have been in awe of just what you can and have accomplished. 😃 Once again Jonathan rocks! Great helper!
Dig Lord P, dig. haha
Ash - you do a great job on the commercials
Haha. Thanks Carole :)
Lord Patrick is a fabulous help😂
Beautiful job. I love watching Patrick helping out. He reminds me of my little Sweet Pea. I lost her last May. She was going on 20. She loved to dig as well. I have missed the inside work, but I'm sure that will pick up as winter sets in. The outside is looking great!
It's so refreshing to see the Lord of the Manor pitching in to help! Clearly he could just sit there and watch you work! He could even chew on a nice hambone right in front of the workers. You can tell that he knows if he wants it done right he better lend a paw!
Steve from Manor and Maker did a fantastic job for Stephanie Jarvis regarding the logo . I would contact him. Great job with the road. Can’t wait to see how it looks in the spring with the tulips and daffodils. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Rosemarie?
And lord Patrick always does his part, not one that just tells people what to do, he gets in there and digs along with the rest. So cute! The Entrance is looking sooo nice! GOD bless
Patrick keeps on digging perhaps not alway in the right place. Bless him. ❤
I love to watch you all turn this beautiful property into a livable testament to history! great job!
Thank you!
It all looks so amazing. You should all be really proud of yourselves. What great recounts Jonathan can write about at school
Thanks Nadean
A school trip is in order!
Love the content, love the family, love the entrance, and the music for your time lapse videos is perfect. Superb!

Looks nice hard working people. Hope your guests will enjoy it as well.
I never see Patrick as happy as when he's digging in the dirt. All is looking so good!
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Linda?
Well done! So much hard work. Patrick is adorable 😍
The entrance looks beautiful and gives the “ Old Lady” the grandeur it deserves. For a logo, check with Michael Petherick. He just created a beautiful drawing of their chateau. He is a very gifted and detailed artist.
Thank you!
I know you will think I am nuts, but I was so worried that your drive exited directly onto the main road. I could not imagine you working right next to all those big trucks whizzing by! Whew!! It looks fantastic! Great job!
I never miss your videos. I love them all.
Thank you! Glad your enjoying them :)
I am so happy to see the Lord Patrick digging in and getting his feet dirty. The entrance is just beautiful, fit for a Chateau. Well done everyone, Love from N.Y.
Good morning from Canada 🇨🇦
The entrance looks amazing can’t wait to see the bulbs you planted flower 🌸🌺
Little Lord Patrick was adorable digging and helping! The new entrance is going to be fantastic! It's great that you are getting this done before snowy cold weather sets in. I can't believe all that has been accomplished in the time you've had the chateau. Your family is simply amazing 👏 ❤️ 💕!
The grand entrance is truly grand! You guys are such hard workers and it certainly is very rewarding when you see a good job done! Bravo gang! Happy birthday again Tracy! Hope the men in your life have spoiled you….you deserve it! Hugs from Canada!
The Daffodils will naturalize and in a few years, you can divide the bulbs.❤ Jonathan is learning so many skills at his age - he is growing so fast, I just noticed his long legs‼️🤩
Yup! He’s shooting up! Thanks Patricia :)
None of you is afraid of really hard back breaking work. Your dream will be realized before you know it1 Cheers!
The driveway was a journey unto itself! I am so happy for you to have this beautiful drive up to your chateau. Tracy, I can’t wait to see your flowers bloom in the spring and in the gardens you’ve created. I know in time, the outside of your cottage will also have flowers. I can see a small patio with a garden table and flowers. Have a good week. xx
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Stephanie?
Working so hard (even Patrick the dog). 👍🏻 😊 I’m amazed by all the work all of you have done in a short time. Tracy is a great worker, Jonathan is learning so much from you guys. 💕
Thanks Marina!
Another wonderful video to make me feel tired just watching. Great job by all. The place is really looking beautiful, just wait until spring for the daffodils. Jonathan is looking more like his uncle Terry every day. I wish every child could be raised just like you are raising him.❤
You lot can do Anything ! It's so good to see the entrance coming together so well, everyone pulling together and the Stars, Jonathan and Lord Patrick and the Wandering Westies making Guest Appearances rounding out another Stellar Episode. 🍁🍁🍁
Going to look beautiful. I was going to mention an avenue of trees up the driveway then I noticed you have already done that. They will make the entrance more magical and romantic when they are bigger 😊💜
It’s looking lovely!! Happy Birthday Tracey 🎉🎉🎉
Hey 👋, how are you doing today; how’s everything going; hope it was a blessed and fun day for you Carol?
Dear me, just realized that Johathon has gained some height!! Brilliant work again from the whole chateau crew!
You All Work So Hard Amazing Job The Driveway Is Done For Winter No Wet Feet The Spring Flowers Will Be A Lovely Show Look 👀 pretty After Winter ❄️💕😋🙏
The entrance is going to be amazing! Can't wait till spring! Well done family! Love how Lord Patrick isn't afraid to get his paws dirty...lol
Love the birds chirping
That was a lot of hard work! Looks good!!
'Pawed' Patrick🐾🐾 or Lord Patrick; digging for victory again I see.🐾🥳
Always 😂😂
Yet again ... such a professional job. The care taken to position and "seat' that drain properly should make an enormous difference. The run off from the road, let alone water flowing down the drive could cause major problems otherwise. A beautiful entrance to the chateau at the beginning of that amazing hand-built driveway! 🥰
