I dont know if this style of vlog was harder to compile/edit, but I really like these day-in-the-life ones on top of your normal chateau transformation videos. They're unpredictable and heartwarming. ❤️
Glad you like them!
good job on shaving those shapes philip!
The topiary was the perfect segue into Manscape as a sponsor rather than boring old Squarespace 😂
I thought he was building up to that 😂
I thought that part was an introduction to the add 😂!!
😂😂😂
Ah, but Squarespace helps pay the bills and ensure more epiodes for us.
@@elizabethwezelman8547 Manscape would pay a premium fee for Philip’s endorsement - even more for Anna’s!
Omg! Phillip made me snort my coffee,🤣😂😅
🤣🤣🤣
I was hollering! 🤣🤣🤣
So did I!!! 😂😂😂😂
He's so funny. Love that man 😂❤
He’s hysterical!
In the book Tuesdays with Morie , The main hero, a retired college professor, with a degenerative neurological disorder, makes the statement that on your last day, you will not regret one day less spent at work. At 81 years of age, I strongly agree with that. Maintaining a good work. Life balance is important and something to be focused on.
Great book!!
I love that book! Yes! ❤
The girls will also look back and remember their Wednesdays fondly!❤
Our children are grown now, boy and girl twins (57) and younger daughter (55). We were so active with them, football, basketball, track. In our late 50's our daughter moved back with us and her 6 year old daughter. She was a swert little girl and we went through her grade school and high school years and on to college. She played a lot of basketball through those years and we traveled all over for games, in choir and plays. We always took the kids on vacations and weekend outings and did the same with her. I loved those years and miss them a lot. Never regret the time you spend with them.
i hope that your girls realize how very lucky they are to have two parents that are giving them an amazing life
Words of wisdom from Anna’s heart about spending time with the girls. Thank you for sharing your day with us. A very nice mixture of food, fun, garden work, and Iggy!!!
when I was raising my kids I realized that childhood was 980 weekends. It changed my perspective on how important work was.
What’s 980 weekends?
@@erink4685I think she means literally, that’s how many weekends you get with your kids before they grow up.
@@TheSpiralLab oh! Ha. Ok!!
I love Honfleur in winter. It is not quite so overrun with tourists then. Marketdays are allways special. I remember years back on our local market in Pont Audemer I overheard a seller saying in a joking voice to his clients: "You will see! The english will come! And they will buy all our chateaux and houses. And they will be followed by the germans!" I turned around and answered with my slight german mixed with scottish accent: "Well Monsieur, you are "hors tard" they are already here. Everybody laughed heartily at my reposte. But honestly, this is what I love about Normanday and their inhabitants. They are very family orientated, but very open when you make the effort to get to know them. I lived here for over 30 years now, did the same school-, riding lessons-, dance runs, that you did Anna. The kids grew up speaking 3 languages fluently. And ... we never finished renovating. In these old houses there is always always something to do. But we are so blessed.
Words well spoken Anna. I am a 73 year old grandmother and motherhood was the best job I ever had! Enjoy them!
I am 71 and thinking the same
I agree, Anna, it’s a special privilege to spend time with one’s children. Mine are grown ups now, but they often reflect on the time we had together, as I worked half days while they were at school.
Anna, sounds like you are a really busy normal Mom. Believe me, enjoy every moment you get to spend with your girls, we lost our beautiful 37 year old daughter in 2015, the moments I spent with her growing up and as a grown woman with children of her own was not enough. A blood clot took her away from us in just a bleak of an eye, I spent the last week with my husband in the hospital with blood clots in both lungs and his legs, time is so precious. He is doing well now even though he still has the clots but with medicine hopefully they will dissolve on their own. Blessing to you and Phillip, oh by the way Phillip did a great job on the bushes. Hugs, Kathy USA
I wish your husband a speedy recovery!
💔💔💔💔💔💔
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wishing your husband a speedy & strong recovery. Wishing you and yours much happiness & peace going forward. ❤
Sending love and good wishes to you and your husband ❤❤❤❤
What fun day off from school the girls had. These are memories that will last a lifetime. Ziggy doesn’t look sorry at all 😂😂😂😂😂Phillip’s sense of humor always cracks me up. Nice job on the landscape 😍😘
It's amazing that geniuses are so good at not just one thing, but are often genius at multiple things. A genius also just seems to grasp highly complex, clandestine and complicated theoretical concepts, like making oats, so easily. I just SO admire geniuses...
Love seeing your day! Ziggy is definitely living his best life! Swimming and rolling in cow poop, thats one lucky dog!
That’s the meaning of, ‘it’s a dog’s life!’
😂
I don't know Philipp, by shaving your balls you probably have created some work. The wood shed roof is now visible and it's rustic charm could feature in your future.
😂
Anna, the last things you had to say today are so true! My “children” are now 27 and 30. I was a stay at home mom and don’t regret any of the moments I was privileged to spend with them. You will ALWAYS be thankful for these times.
I love Ziggy posing like the perfect calendar dog in the background during Anna's outro ❤ And I think he was looking sad in the bathtub because you were washing away all that delicious cow poop odor, which he so carefully applied 😂
I agree. My Westie once managed to find some manure the same day she'd been to the dog groomer. So pleased with herself. Not so much when she got a second shower once we returned home. Us hoomans, tut tut, we just don't understand.
Your girls will surely want to spend time with you when they are teenagers . Mine did….and they’re in their twenties now and we adore each other’s company…travelling together, cooking, hiking….
Children will always remember the time you spent with them.Time goes so fast.Thank you for sharing your day with us.Phillip you make me laugh.
I miss the years of the presence of our girls in the home. I remember complaining about the noise & mess. One day it dawned on me that one day we would have a quiet tidy house but no girls. It was a good reminder to be thankful for their presence & all that came with them ❤ I miss those days but I am thoroughly enjoying the grandchildren!!
Anna, treasure these days with your daughters. It goes so fast. My daughter is now 25 with a child of her own & she loved the days we spent at horseback riding, traveling, piano, etc. these are the memories they will thank you for. Phillipp makes me laugh and I love Ziggy. You have a sweet family!
Thank you so much for sharing these lovely moments with us! A delightful video. Savor every moment with your children, who will likewise look back on these moments with fondness and affection.
Honesty one of your best vids. The town/village you live in is so beautiful. It would be great to see more of it. Your children are wonderful and yes they do grow up so fast. Ours is in college know and was London not to long ago as a exchange student.
Thank you! Will do!
Love being out and about in your village/coast. ❤❤.
Thank you for sharing your Wednesday you have a beautiful life! Looking back on my life as an 80 year old grandmother, yes every single moment with family is the most important thing in life!!
Your sentiments about spending time with your children....spot on! I had my children when i was 19 and 21, they are now in the 40s. I wish I'd had the insight and the wisdom to realize that before it was too late. The do grow up far too quickly. Phillip, you're hilarious!
Mine similar but great memories made for us and our children. I love watching this beautiful family live there's now. Can't wait for Grandchildren now. 😊❤
What a lovely change of pace showing a bit of family time 😊those galettes looked delicious
You take such good care of the girls and Ziggy.....its lovely to watch...!😊Ps : Phillipe your gardening balls look great..!😂
You are so correct re the children and enjoying time together in everyday ways...including the garden. Ziggy's face in the bath had me really chortling too😂.
Beautiful fur baby❤
Super to see Honfleur again. You are lucky to live close by. We parked in the aire with our motorhome. So enjoy your vlogs x
You are right - those days when your children are young are numbered. Work will be there, but you’ll never get those days back. I enjoyed the glimpses of Honfleur. We spent several days there last year - it’s a lovely town. I enjoy Philip’s sense of humor, too.
I know Honfleur by its reputation as a pretty town and desirable location. This real view exceeds my expectations. Its beautiful. Now on my bucket list.
Mine too ❤😊
No school here in Belgium on Wednesday afternoons either. I spend the whole time driving kids around to sports/activities.... I feel your pain!
As a parent, I would be so happy with a 4 day school week. Time with my kids and the ability to wake up and not have to rush would do wonders for my attitude!
You are right about time spent with your children. I brought up my daughter on my own and honestly I remember almost nothing of all the years she was at school Her whole childhood and I dont really remember any of it at all. She is almost 30 now and often says"Remember when?...." and I honestly dont, but when I say "Remember when?.." to my own mother, about my own vividly remembered childhood, she doesnt remember either, so I applaud the way you get mandated to spend Kid-time mid-week in France, giving you a chance to build memories together
Anna enjoy motherhood, they won’t be little for much longer. Exhausting but so rewarding as well.
Anna, the years fly by so fast as you said, so it’s great that you learned to enjoy Wednesdays with your girls. France has it right. Family means everything. The landscaping looks great. xx
I love Honfleur , thank you for taking us there . I was a Nanny in Paris in the late Fifties and they didn’t have Wednesday off in those days xxx
The girls are amazing on horses for their ages. So fearless!
You are so right Ana, enjoy your girls! It’s good for them and for you! I am a grandmother of the age of 79 and certainly made mistakes in my life, but the staying home was the best thing to do for my boys. Later I did the same with my grandchildren and took all my time for them. We have a great bond what is lovely and a good feeling. Thank you and Phillip so much for the episodes, I love it very much and can’t wait for the Sunday afternoons to see the new chapter. Caracas Venezuela.
I hope there will be more videos like this, even after everything is finished with the chateau.
I loved this! Spending time in your beautiful grounds, (watching Phillip shave his balls), and seeing your lovely coastal village is so refreshing. But the best part is seeing two sweet and lucky girls, engaged in fabulous activities; and having a great day out with their amazing Mum.
If you put a tarp down before you trim most of the branches and cuttings will land on the tarp and thus it’s a quick clean up vs picking everything up all the time. Yard is looking swell!
Yay for the litter picking! Your home is just gorgeous.
Thank you for sharing your daily lives through videos with us! Yes those years with your girls is a treasure .
You keep the Chateau looking so beautiful.
finding a good work-life balance is so great! love that the girls are learning to ride horses. IT is such a rare thing in the States these days with all of the organized sports activities.
I enjoy these everyday activities just as much as the here’s a project videos. Life is interesting enough. ❤❤❤
For liking water so much, Ziggy’s face at bath time was hilarious!
I have two girls just a bit older than yours and we homeschool. Our life has become so peaceful and content since we started a few years ago. We are pretty active but we take a lot of down time too, always trying to strike a balance for everyone’s sake. I treasure every moment as before you know it, they’re gone. Love your incredible hard work, creativity and the beauty you both have added to this world. 😊
Precious girls! All the time you spend with them is priceless. My children are now in their late thirties and we so much fun when we get together!
Awesome to see Phillip playing around with trimming his balls again. Brilliant video about glimpse into your Wednesday life. Just Brilliant in general.. Not just the women enjoy this content, just fyi... You guys are totally rocking this. But keep in mind that Dan is competing with most popular Chateau vlog...
Your trimming was perfectly done! The garden is beautiful.
Phillip 😂❤ you are so funny. Love this beautiful family. ❤. Thank you for keeping the beach clean😊. Wish everyone would do that here, we do. Sending love to all. From Rosie O from a sunny Devon,England 🏴
Enjoy every moment you have with your children. You will not regret it. When they are gone (before you) you cannot get that time back. Enjoy it and love it because they will love you :) 😊❤
I remember the days of running my 3 daughters after school to dance, piano lessons, various sports. Busy times, but now 2 of my daughters are doing that for their children. Time flies so quickly, but I am proud of my daughters and their efforts at raising their children & working full time. You are both wonderful and loving parents.
Anna, yes, you will “never regret this time” that you have spent. They grow up so quickly.
Lovely world you have made❤
France is soo beautiful! You all are admired so for your diligence in caring for your children and your chateau ❤ I love your channel and haven't missed an episode! I wish I lived in France, love from Alaska USA.
En Fleur is a stunning seaside town, what fun to see Ziggy zoom around the beach. How fortunate for your girls that you and Phillip are available every Wednesday. Thank you for sharing this part of your family life with us. Bless oh and just in case Phillip is despairing the end if renovations never mind there's always plenty to do in your very large garden 🤭🤭
Les plantes adorent le jardin. Elles grandissent vite et les volumes sont extraordinaires. Elles aiment l’espace, la terre, et s’ installent vite. Cela fait plaisir à voir. C’ est super . Merci au jardinier. Anna, les enfants sont heureux. Profitez bien de cette vie avec eux au Château. Vous faites avec votre époux tout pour vos filles. C’ était aussi le but en venant du côté de Honfleur. Avec ce Château. Sooo, It makes sense 🌹🌹🌹😊
What a beautiful balanced life you have created for your family. What an inspiration 💖🏡💖
Anna , your words at the end of the video are so true. Soak in every possible moment it does go fast. It’s a beautiful time in life. Now I am a grandmother of 3 and I am blessed to live near all of them and their dogs and attend their concerts and other events . I’m so happy you live near the sea we do as well and it’s a big part of our family life. Ziggy certainly enjoys it! Such a wonderful thing to teach your girls about keeping trash off our beaches . Have fun on Wednesdays ! Dancing, horseback riding all fun things! Philip great job on the trimming of the bushes and balls…
I was waiting for the manscaped ad/sponsoring 😂 7:35
😂🤣
Such an enjoyable time. For me? Another Sunday another laugh! And love all the Wednesday's activities
A leaf rake is an essential tool for gardening. Cow manure is more of an outdoor hose down than in house shampoo in TEXAS. Have a great wkend. cgzone8
Yes maybe better to hose Ziggy down with a water hose outside. Rosie O 🏴 😂❤
What a wonderful beautiful family 🐶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Phillip you are so funny! I love the way you describe hedge and bush trimming!
I think Ziggy’s activities look so much fun! 😅. So nice of you all to do a quick clean up at the beach. I remember when we lived in Germany, stationed there, and my son and my husband went on a boy scouts trip to Normandy beaches for a massive clean up. The boys actually enjoyed it. We went as a family, but camped out as well.
Freshly manscaped! Loved the girls horse riding lesson!! Haha so cute! Happy spring!
Philip, your gardening expertise is really appreciated by the viewers. we always learn something, this week was no exception....
You guys are the best! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Just loved Honfleur when on our river cruise. Love your videos all the way to NZ!
Thank you for showing us the town. We have watched all your videos and did not know that you were so close to the ocean! No wonder Phillip wants a boat! Thanks for the videos you two. Love watching, from Colorado
Thanks for watching!
Ziggy is living his best life.
hedge trimming is SO satisfying! What a lovely home life you have provided for your family, thank you for sharing. 🥰
Thank you for sharing a lovely day with Lily and Ella. It was fun to watch them choose their lunch and ride horses. Phillip was hilarious, as usual. ❤
Good words on work/life balance and how fleeting childhood years really are. Also really great to see you're kids spending the day being physically active in ways they enjoy, healthy habits start early! And I have to say it's nice to see at least one Chatelaine include equestrian sports in their weekly routine. I don't know if you have the acorage to keep horses and ride your property as some chatelaines who don't ride, but you're girls will one day inherit your spectacular house and it's a lovely, healthy outdoor sport that opens doors to have been blessed with, and perfect for any country living. They looked like they really enjoy these Wednesdays, and they're every bit as important as a day in school, for their future. Poor Ziggy looked SO humiliated in the shower, hahaha, that face omg! 😂😭💖
Phillip .... You are funny ! .... keep it up .... Loved the work in the garden ! It livens the show ! Le chateau is looking great !
Honfleur is such a magical village! You are so lucky to live there.
I really REALLY enjoyed this style of video. It was nice to see your little town and all the things you guys do outside of the château. And yes Phillip your skit with how to shape your bush into balls was hilarious!! 😂 and watching Ella on that pony made me giggle so much. It was so cute . Many blessing times your family ❤
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home and the smiles.
It was so nice to see the market and the buildings. Living in the US, especially in the Middle and Western part of the US, we have nothing that looks like your markets and building. Thanks for taking us out with you!
What a treat seeing your beautiful town!
Time spent with your family is gold ❤❤❤
love love loooove this vlog! and thank you Phillip for making my day
Glad you enjoyed it
Gosh your home looks so beautiful and it is more so because we viewers enjoyed the journey of your hard work and creativity - on your own and with a family too. Bravo💛
That's the thing about a Visla hound...they are SO easy to clean and they are as sleek as a seal! Lovely animal and Ziggy is a fine example of his breed.
Great episode … such a lovely, productive day. Loved seeing the town of Honfleur.
Wonderful living so close to a beach. Love Philip trying to explain trimming the bushes.. gave me a good laugh. The girls are so big. Ziggy is happy to have his bath. You both work so hard. ❤
pretty place to live and drive to and from
that ball bush trimming was hilarious.
I love our wandering around the garden while you show your gardening expertises, I learn so many things watching you,your amazing every time at what you do of course..I love the hedge cutter that’s a great tool.You know I always used to say I can do anything if I wanted to and I have .I even told my husband I did not need a man really.But I kept him to mow the lawns and because I loved him dearly..I love watching these videos.Anna so into her art and practical ,and you’re always getting picked on by your workers.But I can see your worth and ..Your sense of humour is like mine,some don’t get it. Thats a huge garden to look after though.,but your doing an amazing job.Its a beautiful area you live in Anna ,it was nice seeing your day with the girls and the walk on the beach.,I miss the sea I grew up in Cornwall but live in the Midlands now .The sea is miles away.So it’s nice to see the waves and sound…Naughty dog rolling in that.!I looked at my little White Yorkie and thought how awful she’d look if it had been her.He must have smelt bad..And the looks he gave you said ,he just did not care,he had fun lol!..Love n Hugs to you all 🥰
Balls …Phillip…..lol
Was waiting for Manscaped ad :D
Love Your Posts!
Phillip, please find a way to get the sailboat. Time gets away from us. Sailing is such a physical sport and gets harder as we age. Not saying you’re old 😉but the sooner you start the more time you have to do it. And the girls growing up with it a part of their lives will be such wonderful family memories.
I appreciate your support! 😀
Isn''t Ziggy face a déjà-vu? Somehow convinced it has been before haha sweet. 4-day work is definitely a way to go. Less is more in a long run. Well done!
love seeing the girls doing their wednesday things and yours too - nice change of pace and nice slice of real life!
oh ziggy - you are a typical dog arent you?
My husband is a landscape architect and he has done a lot of trimming some by hand and others with hedge trimmer. Some are done twice a year and some skip a year depending on their growth .like the lilac bushes etc Evergreen bushes will be shaped by hand as well as roses. But i think you are able to discover a World of gardening on KZhead ...🌲🌳🌹
