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.

Tracy can't stop her face from smiling!😊 Not surprised, I smiled all the way through that! Congratulations 🎉 💜💜💜
So glad that you are keeping that small window because the dogs will have a view. 👏🏼👍🏼🐶🌳🌳🌲🌳
I’m soo pleased that you listened to us! You will really appreciate having a the little toilet room in the wee hours of the night.🥰 Things are really coming along in the cottage. Well done!🥰🇨🇦
Yes, you were right :)
To see how quickly Tony and Tracy have made the cottage liveable, belies the amount of work it took to get to this stage. I couldn’t be more impressed with their work ethic, painstaking effort, and ingenuity in delivering the goods. I imagine you won’t need much heating upstairs, what with all that insulation, and the heat traveling up to fill the open space upstairs. I am seriously SO impressed!
You have your own throne upstairs!! You are all unbelievably had workers and have made such a beautiful difference to the cottage and the house😀
Tracy is just glowing with excitement! Tony is making major brownie points. 😁
I love how you guys continually turn back time reminding us how far you have come
So glad to see Mum so excited and happy about the upstairs bathroom and how it will be laid out....Love, Love, Love
The littlest window upstairs in the cottage would be a great spot for the dogs to look out of.
Brilliant! A fire and a toilet….next electrics. Well done.
Tony and Moms achievements in the cottage are remarkable. Showing from where they started til now, proves their handy work and creativity.
It is such a relief to see Tracy’s excitement. Those first few videos after she arrived I felt so bad for her. See appeared so sad and almost confused about the future of her little family. I think if someone had driven up and offered her a ride back to the UK, she would have been gone in a flash. Luckily, after seeing all the hard work Tony had put in and the progress he had made, evidently she began to catch a bit of the vision of what could be. I think part of it for Tracy, too, was her concern for Jonathan. Would he fit in at school, would he miss his friends and family back home, would he remain the happy little guy she knew and loved? Once she realized that those concerns were unfounded, she could allow herself to relax a bit and concentrate on settling in herself. Thanks to Tony for his unfailing support and patience.
Amen!! Assuring her with gentle confidence was really great to see!!
Loved seeing more about the cottage. Things are coming along nicely. The tiny windows are adorable, and the door handles are lovely. Happy you now have a toasty fire going. 🔥 It's terrific to see Jonathan pitching in helping with the renovations during the retrospective footage. He's a clever boy!!
The recap of the cottage works just reminds us of the terrific amount of effort put in so far. It’s going to be beautiful 🥰
C'est clair, ils ont travaillé dur !
OMG.Cottage is looking brilliant. Tracy’s excitement is contagious ✌️
Having the fire has given Tracy so much pleasure its great seeing it all come together i am so happy for you all.hugs.
Thank you Myrna
I'm so excited to see the fire in the cottage and all the work! Tony & Tracey have worked so hard and it has really paid off! I'm a big fan of Tracey and Tony, especially Tracey! :)
Thanks Rosalie! They are amazing!
Hello Terry, I’m a new member from Canada of your You tube channel. I’m so impressed with your massive undertaking. Tony & Mom are so hardworking folks. I’m so happy to have stumbled on your channel. I’m only on my 5th episode; I have lots of catching up to do.
Thank you so much for joining us in our family adventure 🥰🥰
Congratulations for getting to the magical point where the home fires are finally actually burning! I'm a-glow with happiness for you all!
Had a little giggle to myself. Only a Brit would warm his beer on a mantelpiece over a raging fire. The cottage is looking spectacular. You've earned the beer.
I can already picture a Christmas card by the fireplace with the family and adorable Patrick, Sasha, and Louie.
The joy on your mams face at the fire is brilliant, cottage is coming along nicely. Take care.x
All the animals will want to move in with Tracy and Tony with the new fireplace! lol...Great job!
So glad to see your mom smiling and so happy about the fire/heat! She’s worked so hard - she deserves it! Yeah Mom!
You should all be so proud of the work you have put into restoring the cottage and outbuildings. It is starting to look great. The Chateau will be amazing once completed.
You guys are moving fast! Love that you put a toilet and sink in that space and the fireplace is awesome! Well done. It’s going to be a Christmas to remember😍 so happy for the entire family xxx
Wow ! The cottage has come a long ways. AMAZING ! 😉👍
Super decision of getting an upstairs toilet being so convenient at night. Fireplace looks stunning. I can imagine you can hardly wait to move in. Admire your creative thinking and that you take advise seriously. You are an extraordinary family
Cheers!!! This is fantastic! Of all the renovated and restored chateaus I have watched over the last years, the transformation of your cottage has become my favorite. Just love to see a family work together on their dreams to create something with a story and beauty to share. All things are possible with your great attitudes and hard work.
its great to see people getting much more relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. new vlogging stars -
Agreed! Especially Tracy has become more accustomed to where we can see her lovely personality!
Your work ethic is amazing.
Beautiful fireplace. And a toilet. That counts as two surprises in the cottage, Terry. I love the railings idea, upstairs. It'll means more light on the stairs and hallway.
The idea of skim-coating the walls and ceilings on the upper floor is brilliant. The perfection of the walls/ceilings will play against the gorgeous rough-hewn original beams, showing them off to their best. Well done all!
Wow, the cottage is coming along beautifully. With heat, comes comfort and a cosy feel. The cottage would be feeling the love... ❤🇦🇺
Wow great you look so happy togheter after so mutch hard work i live the look and feel of the cottag and howe it comes togheter now 👍🙏🥂❤
Tracy is so happy! I love it!
I'd forgotten how much work you guys had done to the cottage living room. It really is a massive transformation. Well done.
I love seeing how excited Tracy is getting! All of the hard prep work is starting to pay off…well done!
I love your family's sense of humour. And everything is coming along beautifully.
Heat means everything, it’s such a boost to continue with renewed energy, like the logs burning demonstrate.
So happy for you guys. First the washroom upstairs and then the heat. Exciting week. Congrats everyone.
Such a privilege to watch and be apart of all your hard work on the cottage and chateau. Christmas has been saved with the install of the burner. You all deserve the very best. Big hugs from Toronto
Did anyone else cheer when the dog made the jump? 🤣
Your folks. Are so delightful Terry. They are so very happy to be together and each day brings a new advancement on the cottage.
Thank you :)
The kitchen ceiling is finished beaurifully
The cottage is moved by faster now, just like Tony and Tracy said, it looking beautiful!! Yey!! Fire 🔥!!!!! 🥰 Thanks for sharing 💞p
Can she Tracy is so happy to have the fireplace in. Will make it very cosy for Christmas.
The fire is in and burning away so nicely!!!! It looks so cozy....ah yes, Christmas in a cottage....perfect!!! That's been my dream since I was a child. I live in a Cape Cod style home here in British Columbia and it's cozy, but a cottage like yours is No. 1. You all are doing a fantastic job not only in the Cottage but the Chateau as well!!!! I love seeing Jonathan working away with his little shovel and wheelbarrow!
A toilet and a fire! That’s real progress. Congratulations!
How is Jonathan coming along with learning French? It's a good thing he's learning the language this young.
Amazing! He’s teaching all of us!
Those upstairs windows are perfect dachshund height
It made me smile to see Tony and Tracy so happy about the fire being lit. You guys worked so hard to reach this milestone. I wish you good health to enjoy it and lots of energy to finish your new home 🍀
Good morning Tracey And Tony see you both and Terry ,Ash and little johnathon ,Patrick, Louis and Sasha . See you later
Thank you very much, will see you later 🥰
I am thrilled to bits for you all. Warmth will make all the difference to the cottage and it is looking great... even with just a little paint on the walls. Well done. Have a fabulous week. xx
The Cottage is coming along beautifully. Such a hard working couple.
So pleased your stove is up and running, it makes it so much easier to work if you're warm. I think you will both really crack on now 😊😊
Your channel, as well as Phillip and Anna's from How to renovate a chateau, are my favourite chateau restauration channels. Keep up with the good work, you seem like such a tight-knit lovely family!
Thank you M. M.
Looks AMAZING!!!!! Well done 👍
Great work folks, I’d say it’ll be hard to take that smile off of Tracey’s face 👍🍀
I look forward to all your interesting blogs 🎉 from one mom to another, your mom is amazing!!!!!😎 💕🙏
She is amazing!!
This is the equivalent of the discovery of fire! YAAAAAAAAY!!!!
House with an open fire 🔥 makes it a home 👍👍
The before and after pictures are remarkable. Congratulations to all.
Those are beautiful side tables. The wood burner looks wonderful installed with the fire crackling. And once the kitchen is fitted it will become home. Well Done!
Terry, you should be proud of Ash handling the live premier all on his own tonight. Hope your shopping was successful. See you Sunday 😉👍❤️
Thanks Jimmy 😂😂
Such an exciting day….They look soooo pleased!
Everything coming together at the cottage looks fantastic, and now the wood fire in nothing like it ,well done look forward to seeing more cheers🍷🍷

Hi all.
Brilliant....to have a toilet by the bedroom. I am in my 70"s and a toilet near the bedroom is a must...LOL!!! Everything is really coming along....well done!!
Ah, warms the cockles of your heart, seeing that fire burning. Your cottage is looking lovely. The chateau is coming along well to. Great to see good quality work being done. The property deserves it. Best wishes as always Yvonne x
Honestly, you should have seen me smiling, I could feel your excitement. Fantastic achievements in the cottage, you deserve that drink x
The cottage is coming along beautifully. The upstairs toilet is a brilliant idea and also love the railings too. Johanna Maine USA
Fantastic team work everyone with a few laughs and a drink at the end of the day, so well deserved 👍
Delighted the work is coming on nicely. I love how excited Tracey is for Christmas. Bring it on!
Wow! another fantastic video Terry! you've all worked so hard! and there's an upstairs loo!! & a fire 😃 so chuffed for your mam, she deserves a bit of comfort, she works so hard grafting all day, but always with a smile on her face... she's such an inspiration.....
I’m fascinated with the chateau and all that Terry & Ash have planned there, but my heart is really the cottage and mums insistence at leaving the upstairs as open as possible is grand, & it will allow heat to rise up more easily too. Crack on !
The work your mum & dad have done on the cottage is incredible The fire looks lovely Andrew 💐💜xx
Fun to be reminded how the cottage looked in the beginning. So much hard work, expertise and vision. You are amazing! I love how the curved shapes on the stove in the chateau are similar to the curves in the marble surround. It's going to look terrific.
So happy and excited for Tracey and Tony!
We have a log burner here in our farmhouse and it certainly belts the heat out. Its all coming along nicely. Well done!
Omg that cute little bathroom, I love it and that fireplace wow!! Just beautiful. You are amazing, all of you. Wonderful video, thank you so much (I have been looking forward to that for the whole week)❤💛💚💙💜
great, fantastic, what else can i say. when i seen the chateau when you all first moved there this time last year, i thought never in a life time. proved me wrong,
It is going to be really beautiful , worth all yalls hard work . I love watching all your videos .
Thanks San
@@ashleywaters7198 welcome
