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.

Don’t apologise about your videos, they are always interesting , just seeing what you are up to. The area is looking so much more tidy and practical.
Mirror and ventilation as well
It really is amazing what Patrick has been able to get his team to do in such a short time! His dreams really are coming true.
Well, if you're not sufficiently proud of the work you've done on the Caravan area, there are 2.5 thousand thumbs up fans that are truly impressed and will tell you, job well done!!!
Painting of the shed bathroom was very satisfying to watch. I couldn’t imagine how beautiful it would be when it was finished.
The caravan area looks SO much more inviting. Wish I were 20 years younger and strong enough to come help while staying there.
@@jeannettesmyth7643 ..... or just stay in your front room for the rest of your days .....
they will teach you how to drive the mowers ...... and push a broom ...... and collect the eggs ..... and feed the chooks .... and and and and ..... you won't know unless you give it a go
I wouldn’t mind staying in one of the caravans & volunteering to help around the chateau. Imagine all the fascinating people you would meet.

I would love working on this beautiful place.
You folks are certainly attentive to the needs and comfort of your volunteers. You did a beautiful job on their areas! Well done!
Your attention to the comfort of al of your volunteers will keep the Chateau restoration always moving forward. This is just brilliant!!!
There is a great number of things that I really really enjoy about your guy's (&gal) channel. However, I think what I just love and appreciate the most about it and keeps drawing me in for more, is you all go above and beyond. Always taking it up a few notches to the highest level and standard. I'm an OCD perfectionist as well. And I never do anything by halves. My parents taught us kids to take pride in our work. If you are going to do something, do it right. And what we do is not just a reflection of our individual integrity and character, but reflection on our family values as well. Greatly appreciate your willingness to share your journey and adventures with the rest of us.
I'm glad you prioritized making things lovely for your fantastic volunteers!!
Terry, no need to apologise, I and I bet everyone else loves watching everything you do, it all adds up to making the chateau whole again. The volunteers' area is superb what a lovely space to relax I so wish I could come over but I'm not sure apart from planting weeding and general pottering I'd be much use, (I'm disabled) but one day I will come over and stay :)
You have created a nice spot for the volunteers. I am sure they will appreciate your efforts. 👍
Everything is so thoughtfully done, not only for practical purposes, but also for esthetic reasons. You are wonderfully considerate.
Patrick loves to be in the middle of it all
Of course, Patrick is supervising ALL the digging, like the little expert he is!
When I think of how long you've all been there, and the difference you've made! I'm in awe! You're are brilliant team and a loving family. Bravo to you all. Oh and, the consideration you pay your volunteers is wonderful.😊
Dear Terry, Ash, and Tracy Your work is so admirable. One suggestion, and it is late. Please lay landscaping material under your gravel. The plastic is only a temporary option. The landscaping material under the gravel allows the rain to pass through and that will water your trees. There will be less weeds growing up through the landscaping material to the gravel. And, there are various grades of landscaping material. Get experienced advice on which one will serve your needs. So sorry, not to have been in your decision process earlier to warn you that plastic was not a good choice. Anyway, cheers to you all. Love your videos and can't miss them! Liza
What a coincidence...I've just said the same thing. Landscaping material will probably be more expensive than the sheeting they have used...may just have to use what they can afford. They could always spike it I suppose. It's sloping so perhaps it won't be too bad.
Hi everyone,OMG😱 you’ve worked so hard getting the shower 🚿 block finished 👌 the caravan area looks great with the added touches of plants 🪴& the seating,is absolutely perfect to chill with a nice cold drink 🍹 Love that you’ve exposed more cobble stones,they add more character to the area! Take care lots of love 🥰💕
Personally, I like watching everything y'all do whether it's inside or out. 😁❤️
It's no boring we are seeing what's been done, and want to see all of it ,hat's why we watch
I recommend you put a light or a warning flag on a stick on the caravan's hitches as your volunteers may walk between the caravans in the dark and trip over the hitch. Happy Rob is back with you. Cheers from Toronto
What a wonderful area you’ve created for your volunteers, we love everything you achieve, don’t apologise for anything Terry. We think you’re all amazing ❤❤❤
Tracy sure can throw that stone fast.🤪🤠
Ur mom is amazing with all she does. She reminds me of my mom. Please give her an extra hug tonight from me. She is the best.
I'm so impressed by all of the thoughtful gestures you have made to ensure that your volunteers know how much their help is appreciated.
I'm so excited for the canopy restoration. That's going to make an enormous difference to the exterior. In the absence of the shutters, it will be transformative. They help to draw the eye to the entrance and they really are quite elegant too. I hope you intend to restore the one leading out to the walled garden too.
Watch for a second cobbled path, there might be a second one if it was used for horse carts
something tells me it's a yard surface .... not just a path
You are so considerate to your volunteers. It says a lot about your family:)
Never apologize for the content of your videos, this was wonderful and the high speed gravel spread was highly entertaining! The caravan area looks gorgeous especially with the flowers, plants and shady seating areas. We love watching you all especially when The Super gets involved (those little feet of his take him everywhere 💕💕💕)thank you as always xxxalex in Florida
I would love to see inside the caravans.
Me too!!
Me TOO
Nice area for the volunteers. Wish I was young enough to help you at the chateau
Rob like a friend of the family now I’m sure he won’t mind if it’s not sorted & he can then stay with you guys again. 😊
Your kindness in offering the volunteers a safe and practical haven is well above commendable and full of love. A thousand blessings on each if you and your familues. Im new at watching your journey towards completion if the chateau. Your work and the results is totally amazing.
Beautiful job of the caravan area a nice partition fo privacy of each one and a lovely quaint bathroom for the volunteers. Fab job guys ❤
The caravan and shower zone are amazing.
Your videos are ALWAYS AMAZING!!!!… please… never.. ever apologize…. They are very interesting… and so much kudos to you and your family for all the work you have thus far done!…. Everything you do is so well thought out… and done with so much love and care…. I .. for one appreciate ALL your videos… I always look forward to them…. Wishing you continued success in all your endeavours!….. Big hugs to your family… 💕.. 🇨🇦
The volunteers’ area is certainly looking cozy, and this private zone will soon be a completed task, you work so hard to make things happen. Congrats! I’m happy to know reinforcements are coming, what a wonderful thing to count on Rob and Graham.
You all work so very hard. Such a fabulous team and family. The caravan area looks great and will be more amazing than it is, once you can get the electricity going there and put some garden lights in. I'm sure your volunteers will appreciate all you've done so their stay to be comfortable. Don't forget to add a mirror in the bathroom, and maybe a hook or two to hang towels or clothes on. Looking forward to the next video. ☺🌺🥰
You are all realizing an incredible dream at Chateau de la Lacelle!!! Truly stunning projects!!! 🥰❤️🏰 Glad to see Patrick on the job!!! ❤️🐕 Your new camper area is BRILLIANT and INVITING for your workers!!! 🌲🌳🎶🌻🇫🇷
Your caravan area is clean and so thoughtful with gorgeous views of the countryside. The secret garden holds wonderful archeological finds - I think whoever placed the stones there were waiting for your family to rediscover their beauty.
Gorgeous 🥰🥰, absolutely gorgeous every volunteer as well as you all will enjoy the views and the garden.
What a nice space for the volunteers.
The volunteers area is looking good, what a difference you have made
The caravan area looks fantastic!! Your volunteers aren’t going to ever leave!
You've created a lovely restful place for the volunteers! Looks really beautiful! 💙💚🌿💚💙
The caravan area is fabulous, and that view! Love, love the shower room!
It looks great in the Caravan area . You are gradually getting things done . Things take time to do and I think you are all doing a wonderful job . I hope you all have a wonderful week
It is extremely enjoyable to share the journey with you all…and it’s super exciting too!
You've made a big difference with the gravel and the shower unit for the volunteers. They will appreciate it. Before the volunteers come,open the caravan for fresh air a few days before.
The volunteers may never want to leave! You are all just like the energizer bunny.
Terry, the gardens are an integral part of the château, as much in the renovation as the buildings themselves. As renovation addicts, we enjoy seeing anything you folks have to offer. Consider ferns, plus different hostas for the caravan’s shaded areas. Everything is coming together so nicely. You are all a pleasure to watch. Thanks for all of the hard work. ❤ Enjoying you from Mexico City where it’s been 32º, and 34º every day for weeks. 😅
The entire area is going to be amazing. I love how you added the rock planting areas by each caravan.
Get a power washer and push the dirt and grass off of the cobblestone walkway.
I think all the care you are putting into making the volunteer area nice and inviting says a lot about all of you.
Those cobbles would make great raised beds for herbs etc near your outside kitchen
I can’t remember if I commented on your new opening to the videos, but it is sooooo good!!!! I absolutely love the music and the videography is amazing!! Thanks for putting in the hard work of doing the videos but also the chateau and gardens. Love seeing the progress and can’t wait to see more as you continue to work on your wonderful home. 🐶💙🍷🙏
I would set those caravans up on blocks and maybe even take the wheels off to preserve the tyres since you are planning to leave them there for quite some time. Store them in a somewhat climate controled place to preserve the rubber. That area looks nice and inviting now. It's a good thing Patrick doesn't have hands. He would be digging holes with a shovel all over for you to fall in. 😅😂😅😂
The original cobble path would be so charming! A power washer would get the dirt off the top easily.
The caravan area looks fabulous I am sure Rob will appreciate it alot of hard work well done of course you have your four legged supervisor keeping an eye on things x❤
The caravan area looks wonderful. You have real talent for landscaping.
You and ash should go get that chandelier then you could have a mini vacation at the same time
Any progress is exciting. Finding the cobbles was amazingly exciting.
I love seeing the "just"projects getting done. We are also putting down weed barrier and rocks everywhere we can on our property. These things gotta be done!
Hi Terry & Ash & Tracy! Love what ya did with the bath house & caravan park(it REALLY looks nice!) I have been following since you moved in & love the hard work you all have put in to this beautiful Chateau. I also love the history & appreciate you sharing it with us! Have a gr8 day!
having smashed my skins into many a trailer's tongue, I would advise putting a potted plant or something next to them so that your volunteers don't do the same in the dark! Great work by all of you.
The caravan landscaping is phenomenal compared to the outset of the project. Great views and rest areas. The shower, bathroom looks amazing. Your volunteers should be quite happy with their spaces. You could add some variegated hostas in with your ferns; they can thrive in the shady areas and give a little more contrast in the caravan gardens.
Looks calm and serene for the volunteers.
What a beautiful spot for your volunteer's to just sleep and veg while they're working. Great place to maybe build cabins for paying customer's eventually.
Hi everyone, the caravan area looks so good, it's not boring, the progress we see with each video is amazing no matter what it is. The cobbles were a nice surprise, looking forward to uncovering them. Well done all. Love from N.Y.
The area for your volunteers to stay looks amazing and cozy. Great job done by all.
Your surroundings are much more cheerful after all that work. Enjoying the outside whether working or resting is just as important. Best wishes.
What an amazing transformation....so fast. You guys move like lightning.
You have all done a fabulous job around the caravans and the shower block, so much work I am sure the volunteers will be quite happy being there. Look forward to seeing Rob again. I would think you will all need a bit of a holiday soon. Take care.
It looks great around there. The idea to do that area for the campers was so smart really. I don't think it was boring at all, when you take a mess and tidy it up that's inspirational. Thank you. I hope your backs are not too sore after all the gravel.
Attention to detail is second to none 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
Found a great tip for your water feature in that awesome trough you found. Buy some lemon grass and cut the greens into half inch pieces to float in the water. It illuminates, bacteria and green slime. I’m sure the birds will appreciate it! It’ll help you maintenance wise. Love all your episodes and never miss one! 😀
You’ve made the volunteer space a lovely and inviting area with all your hard work and effort, not to mention the inspiration to creat such a nice, cozy result. Well done, as always!
Every project looks amazingly beautiful. Enjoyed. Blessings.
Great area for the volunteers, the bathroom is a great idea.
Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis) is a nice low flowering plant for low-light areas. Nice flowers and lacy delicate foliage.
Terry you getting Volunteers they can help with digging out the path… it will look beautiful
Every episode has been amazing.....
Job well done looks awesome I like the caravan park with the little touches beautiful thanks for sharing
Please use a roller to paint the walls. It goes so much faster. Everything is looking fabulous.
Wow what a transformation it looks fantastic, I’m sure your helpers are going to love it!
Im not a vintage nor antique specialish by any means, just a girl from Oklahoma USA but i love to look at beautiful things... When i went on to ETSY and searched vintage chandeliers in Louis style they had some beautiful ones and alot were in France. Maybe give it a shot, it may not be anything of intrest like i said I AM NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO A PROFESSIONAL 😂😂😂 LOVE AND HUGS TULSA OKLAHOMA ❤❤❤❤
Me grooving to the opening music. Dear heavens you need to buy shares in the gravel company, Hahaaa So much gravel needed. Things are looking much nicer.
The shower block and caravan area look fantastic
What a great space you've created for the volunteers! Id add some street light in the corner and probably an insect repellent 😂. With so much to do around the chateau it's so great to see you invest in the area for the volunteers... ❤
Terrific job on getting the volunteer area all sorted!
The caravan area is looking great, your volunteers will be very comfortable staying there, plus the shower shed looks amazing. With the gravel and all the plants the whole area has been made into a very relaxing place. Well done everyone, I loved seeing Sasha checking on Tracy and Patrick inspecting all your work. 💕🇦🇺
I found this video really interesting. Actually they all our. What a beautiful area you’ve created for your volunteers!
Amazing transformation and amazing how much incredibly hard labor you all blow through!
I like that there's always something new to discover. The volunteers should be very happy with the camper area ,it looks great.
Always amazed at. The work effort the family does on everything ❤❤❤❤❤
The perfect colour sample of your gravel is the stone wall Terry made around the caravan. Landscape gardener speaking.
What a welcoming, peaceful and relaxing area for your volunteers. It looks wonderful 😍
I get tickled seeing what Patrick is up too. He just seems to take it all in, like the Lord of the Manor!😂
I'm afraid I'm not a huge fan of all the plastic and gravel. I would have made gravel pathways lined with rock or something back and forth to the caravans and bathroom. I think you're going to have real water issues with all that plastic as it has no where to go. I always appreciate your hard work and what a great family you are.
Thank you. I love the work you guys are doing but doesn’t anybody have concerns about the huge amount of plastic being spread around and now covering a very significant area of the ground. It’s use has a huge environmental impact as eventually it will degrade and disintegrate and will just stay in the environment for centuries. It will occlude the soil and rain will not be able to penetrate to provide water to the far reaches of those ancient trees. I will eat my hat if those trees don’t start to suffer from stress as soon as you get drought conditions, which will inevitably happen with climate change. The soil cannot breathe with all that plastic heating it up and all the small microbes, insects and diverse fungi necessary for healthy soil will be killed. I have seen soils covered in plastic just go completely sour due to the anaerobic conditions created by this plastic covering. Nothing will grow in it until the soil is opened up and allowed to breathe and all the natural processes allowed to occur again. What botanic gardens in the world has anybody ever seen with this plastic sheeting? If there are any qualified horticulturists watching this channel please offer your wisdom.
Turned out fabulous I am on my way! Lol! It's very good of you to think of your volunteers in such an appreciative and thoughtful way I am sure they will appreciate your efforts. God bless.
You've all done an amazing job cleaning it all up. Great job, it looks so inviting. Just need a good blower for the leaves 😊
Looks so good!❤❤❤❤
