Philipp is in troubles when half a tree comes down in front of the chateau in a storm right before the arrival of some very special guests. And that's only the start of the day...

I love the nephew…”That is very, very false!” 😃😂🤣
U know you're a true fan when you've memorized Anna's intro 😆
We'll come up with a new one soon, promise! :)
No please we love it 🥰
After 10 times I started skipping it... just can’t wait to get to the content 😆
Absolutely 💯
So true
"I'm only going to edit the successful ones"!!!! Literally spit out my beer!! 🤣🤣🤣 My God, you're funny!! Stephen
Listening to Phillip say "look at this" repeatedly while chopping wood made me think of my kids when they were little lol. To clarify, my kids didn't chop wood, but wanted me to look at everything they were doing ; )
Philip - you are HILARIOUS! Anna - you are just gorgeous! Kidlets are adorable!!
Church bells start chiming. Philipp: “no noise from 12:00 to 2:30. It’s France, there’s a rule for everything.” Funny but so true! Loved seeing Nathan again and the electronic surveillance is always one of my favorite segments. Anna, your apricot jam looked delicious - you are so talented. Lovely to see your family together again after such a lengthy separation. ❤️ Maine USA
Guaranteed to smile all the way through the episode. So charming, in every possible way. Thank you for lifting our spirits!
Our pleasure!
Love how you are in France 🇫🇷 having English cheese 🧀 and South African wine 🍷. Just the best 🏆
That's why we have to keep the Vlog in English, not get killed.. ;)
That's true😂in France WE DONT EAT ENGLISH CHEESE and we absolutely DON'T DRINK South African wine!!! He would be banned from getting his"cote de boeuf" from his "boucher"😂
Anna's pronunciation "Coot de buf" is so darling too 😂
South African wines are great
I ABSOLUTELY love Philipe and his antics. He cannot be too cautious with his daughters. What a great uncle and daddy; love you both. Enjoy your family!
"Family", a word that needs no further explanation. Congratulations... ❤🇦🇺
Please tell me I wasn't the only one to yell out "NATHAN!" when he rode up on the mower! Good to see him and wishing him a successful time at school ... mistresses - look out! Love the jam and the tree adventures as well.
"A man, an ax, and a fluffy microphone." Oh my goodness---you make me laugh!!
It totally cracked me up 😂😂😂
Before I saw your comment I said the same thing.
What a beautiful family! Loved seeing Anna's parents and brother and his family, the children are precious. Philip's fatherly humor for his daughters is so funny, the peach jam looked amazing and keep the drone shots of the chateau and surrounding grounds coming. The views are spectacular, and I adore the church bells. Excellent episode.
I am thrilled you are all together....Love and connectedness is what we all need. Enjoy!🥳💝🥰
Heartwarming to see families reunited. Adorable children!! Thanks!!
Thank you too!
Cousins are the best!
When you first showed the tiny chainsaw I laughed - that said - it did in fact cut up the entire tree branch so - I’ve learned something.
I thought the same
Me too. I snorted derisively, in fact. 🇦🇺
The wood needs a good amount of time to dry before burning in heater.
I enjoyed the musical suspense leading up to the backfire of the shredder! Bravo! Brilliant filmmaking!
Thanks, Mindy :)
Sometimes I question my IQ while being entertained watching Nathan mow your yard or Phillip cut wood The crazy thing though is that when the video is over, I find myself wanting more. I love that this is such sweet family show. In so many ways I can relate to the episodes that you share. Trying to herd livestock, cut firewood, make jam raise children, tackling DIY projects. These all bring back fond memories of my husband's and my younger years. Also I love the humor and really great filming. Thank for sharing your Iives with us.
Marvelous Jam! A spoon over vanilla ice cream is divine.
So lovely to see families getting together after so long apart. 😊
P: "Do you think they like your barbies?" E: "Yes!" P: "That's good. Papa's old-fashioned; we live in modern times you're right." love it! hahaha
I confess to having a tear in my eye when watching. So lovely to see a family gathering with children playing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sweet!! Having your family come over after soooo long....brought a tear to my eyes! Enjoy!!!!
If you can't always be in sexy attire you make up for it with humour Phillip. Always look forward to your antics and Anna's patience and creativity. 💖
Love Phillip is like most fellows with their joy in their big boys toys
Look at this, look at this, look at this - one hit wonder. Thank you again for smiles and laughs.
It’s so nice seeing families gathering again. Especially the little ones.
This is one of my favourite KZhead channels. A great watch on a Sunday!
My favorite channel to watch! Can’t wait to see what Phillip and Anna are up to in this video.
Thank you Tanya, also for the kind superchat!
I agree simply can’t wait for all the crazy plights Philip and Anna come up with.
@@HowToRenovateAChateau you’re very welcome! Thank You for sharing your lives with us in a most spectacular way.
Such a delightful video, full of happiness! And Nathan - he is such a good straight man. He and Philipp together always make me laugh.
The chateau looks like a lovely jewel box in the arial views.. Phillip, you are just about my very favorite influencer. I love your dry sense of humor and Anna, so calm, so poised and so talented.
How lovely that you all were together again after 20 months!!! 💚🌿🌸
So happy to see the joy on everyone's faces reuniting after so long! Hope you enjoyed the wine, it's part of our pride and joy here in South Africa.
Hi there, also a fan of the crazy funny couple. And also from South Africa.
Philipp is hilarious! I love your sense of humor! My daughters are 40, 36, and 36. We brainwashed them from birth that they could not marry until at least 30. It worked. One us a chiropractor, one a pharmacist, and one an elder care giver. We now have 3 beautiful grandchildren who are also being brainwashed. It works.😇🥰
Philip you made me laugh successfully before breakfast,well done
Having lived abroad myself for many years I understand your joy in someone bringing you cheddar. 🥰🥰🥰
6:00. Tips for Jam making… 🍏 🍑 🍏 🍊 🍏 🍒 🍏 🍇 🍏 🫐 I love using unripe apples to make the pectin for jams. Just boil whatever you have of green drops or imperfect unripe apples, strain off the liquid, compost the apples, and use the liquid for you jam making. I put the filled jars into a hot water bath to help eliminate air bubbles and finish the cooking of the jam if it is needed. I also echo the advice of others who have said: use a funnel for the jam pouring, it goes so much better for speed and efficiency.
Phillip, stating he will not permit his daughters to go out unchaperoned until they are 34 truly cracked me up. This reminded me of my son who is in the police force … calling to let me know that his eldest daughter had been asked to go see a film at the cinema. Much to his dismay, because like Philipp, he told his girls they wouldn’t be allowed to date ‘til they were 26…and Kaila was 14…my son invited the young man to visit before the date and greeted him at the door wearing his full police uniform including his gun. As the boy was just 16 and couldn’t drive my son drove them to the film …and sat a distance away in case he was needed🥹😁👀 Needless to say the poor boy was frightened away …he never asked Kaila out again. 😔
Always entertaining. Happy to see Nathan as well.
Hi Philipp and Anna, lovely to see your family visiting! The kids have such fun on that trampoline, don't they? Anna, there are easier ways to make jam! The best hints I can give you (from over 50 years of jam making!) are - Freeze your fruit in 1-2kg bags until you need it, and thaw as much as you need at a time. I only make jams etc in the Winter, too hot to do in Summer! It makes the flavour of the fruit more intense and cooks quicker. Don't soak your fruit in the sugar, just bung it in the pot with about 1/2 ltr water per kg, and the juice of a couple of lemons, and let it just simmer for about an hour, or less, just until the fruit is falling apart. Add your sugar (NOT jam sugar - it's a marketing rip off and way too expensive) by measuring the cooked pulp volume cup for cup sugar/fruit. Turn up the heat a bit and add the sugar, stirring, until it's combined, bit by bit. Give it a stir now and again, and it should be ready to bottle fairly quickly, about 10-15 mins from adding the sugar. It starts to go clear as it's cooked. Test by putting a teaspoonful onto a cold saucer, when it's done, you will get a little wrinkle on the jam's surface if you prod it with your finger. Doing the jam like this gives it a lovely colour, and it's got a nice jellied consistency. Bottle and enjoy!! Hope this gives you an easier option, I feel for you standing there waiting for that fruit to soften for hours when the whole lot could have been done and dusted in way less time! Love and big hugs xx
Thank you so much, Karen, we'll try this method for the next batch! With normal sugar! thanks for the tip!
Love your chateau and all the renovations you’ve done. Your humor is so hilarious it cracks me up! Keep up the great videos 👍❤️❤️❤️
Hi Philipp & Anna, this was so special...it was so heartwarming to see your family reunited! The children are adorable! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Much love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Family, friends and fun, all in one video can't beat that. I love the sound of church bells myself. I live in a tiny, tiny town on the shore in Maryland, at exactly 9:45 they ring to let everyone know they have 15 mins to get there. I always picture by gone days with people pulling up every Sunday in their horse drawn buggies.
It’s fun to see the old kitchen and how well it still worked for you to create meals for your family and guest. Then we get to see what you did with your incredible remodel and that spectacular Le Cornu range.
I seriously cannot get enough of your life and adventures....you guys need to upload more lol
A Man, an Axe, and a Fluffy Microphone! 😂AND the only videomaker of this category with impeccable taste in music and hilarious drone footage! 👏👏👏❤️
It warms my heart to see families being able to all come together once more. Be safe, be well, enjoy!
re. your jam recipe. I learned that you can use the same process of mixing fruit with lemon and sugar to then freeze the fruit in containers or bags. I was surprised that the fruit maintains its texture well without the extra step of cooking the fruit down as with jam. It is also possible to freeze tomatoes whole without blanching them to be used in sauces or other cooked recipes. The tomato skins rub off easily once the tomatoes are slightly thawed or you have run them under some warm water for a few seconds.
Love watching your daughter call you for dinner 🥰 Those limbs are called “widow makes” as is the dead pines. Be careful. Oh I could almost taste that apricot jam/jelly. Yeaaaaa family is the best to come visit you!!! Love your Daddy protector mode 👍 The boys are as adorable as your girls. “A very false statement!” 😂 Thank you for the laughter today OXOXOX’s TTFN
widow makers I was thinking the same thing. Be careful when approaching a tree that has lost limbs… could be one hanging up there still.
the drone bit, with the stranger things style music and the different target watches kills me each and every time! Comedy gold 😆
Love that drone detector footage!
Always a pleasure to watch. Your vlog is unique, it is entertaining, friendly, the filming is gorgeous and every episode is to done with a sense of style and elegance.
"I should do this for a living. Well, part time..." - I am dying here.
Your chateau is positively beautiful! No regrets I hope!
I love the Südtirol Speck apron on Anna :-)
God bless your family. Just adorable
Nathan will go far (with Phillip mentoring him) 🙄 😂 😂😂 You are such a great couple... So entertaining. Thanks for all your memorise love
Indeed Chestnut branches fall without warning during the late summer and fall as the fruit (nuts) grows. Keeping the tree and branches balance with proper pruning while removing knotted, rotting, and diseased branches reduces the likelihood hood of failure. Thankfully nobody was near the tree. At least you now know not to work under this tree during late summer and fall..... particularly when you can't hear a branch breaking and falling over equipment running or with headphones on. Bravo Anna! Your jam looks and according to Phillip taste the part. Well done. Cheers!
good point!
I love your sense of humour. So refreshing. Keep up the great work.
großes lob an anna, alles was sie macht ist perfekt, sogar die wahl ihres mannes
Darling video! Anna, you need a canning funnel. Place the funnel on a jar and use a 4 cup measure that has a spout to add your hot jam to multiple jars. Just move funnel from filled to empty jar. No more multiple ladling for one jar.
That’s the way my mother did it…with a funnel. Her sterilization of jars was accomplished by inverting them in a large pot of boiling water (10 minutes, I believe)
It's fun to watch your kids grow up.
It is so funny to see someone cook marmelade in the traditional french pot meant for exactly that purpose. Years ago my mother brought one back with her from france we stored all kinds of things in it but never used it for cooking marmelade. Nowadays the grandchildren love to play with it and they especially enjoy sitting in it. Also the jam looks really good.
It was totally worth it for Anna to stay up late 😂😂 Love from Spain
My favorite family on KZhead! Love the pic of Philip with the girls on his shoulders, so Cute!
Philip, just a suggestion, let the wood you cut, sit for a while to dry. Green wood is much harder to split than aged wood. Remember work smarter not harder! Thank you always for sharing your adventures!
Lovely in every way. Family is everything isn’t it?
I always find myself smiling whle watching your vlog, sometimes I laugh out loud, you are like ''Laurel & Hardy ' ;-) Anna did you ever think you would be the 'straight man' to Phillpp? You are simply marvelous together..the show is well-crafted and well-filmed..the charisma you share is spontaneous and real...thank you for the craftmanship and excellence in renovating, such an eye, Anna ;-)
mmmm the jam, and happy summer days, it doesn't get better than this, enjoy!
It's amazing when something from your region of the world pops up on a channel on the other side. I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦 we do have great wines here, I hope you enjoyed it
Those trees are so beautiful
If French rules stop you from making noise at certain times and days just come to Spain. Here we use to cut wood, let cement mixers run, drill holes in our houses or fell trees all around the clock, Sunday mornings included. And then we burn the leftovers. You would love it.
Nathan does such a good job mowing the lawn. Those stripes look great.
Always too short. Time flies when you are really enjoying something. Loved seeing all your family together.
Good job, Phillip😂
I love your channel....very different from everyday....things. The Chateau is getting stunning..
Philipp-you are a man of many talents. Thank you for sharing your skills with us! Anna, you may need more wine…😉🥰
Its not about the Chateau - its about a family!
Better boil the Apricotes first, make a puree by a blender and the add the preserving sugar; boil 4 minutes - ready!
Thanks for the tip!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau Gern geschehen!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau or you could just blend them without cooking. works also really well and saves time. adding a few drops of natural vegetable oil will also help prevent foam from building. and I don't know if you do this, but after filling the jars turn them over so that they create a vacuum while cooling down. prevents the jam from going bad. :)
I always left at your many wonderfully funny ways of showing your doing ...so cool 😎
Wine, mature cheese, beautiful bbq, and beautifully family
Omg the copper pots. They are so lovely. The timber management is rather impressive.
A large fallen tree branch is known as a "widow maker".
Always a big LIKE! LUCKY ME! I am able to virtually visit your lovely chateau in France. Thank you for the excellent filming and all the family fun.
Philip cracks me up!!! The jam looks delicious! Wonderful to see the family together!! Love the "Cousin Cam"!! Nathan's education goals are very interesting! Love from Vermont
Phillipp is a laugh! He is so funny and he doesn't even mean to be lol
Yes, please do show us the church sometime!
The very dry humor might be my favorite part.
If you will add one tablespoon of butter to the fruit when you are cooking it down it will remove the foam that forms on top and it doesn’t change the flavor at all.
So nice your family is all together after so long!
So happy you guys are getting to spend this time with family!
Another fabulous family reunion. Great watching.👏👏
The government of Normandy should sponsor you for services to tourism!
There is nothing like cousins as playmates when one is young What fun!
What a cute little French chainsaw. I've never seen a chainsaw that small in America.
Yes, ours in America sound like a 747 taking off.
Thanks Anna and Philip for sharing such a happy time with family. I was impressed with the jam making and the clean up of the fallen branches-great job! 🙏🏻❤️
Excellent mulch for flower beds and garden
I nearly freaked out when Anna started talking about liking the video and subscribing....I thought it was over and I was sooooo SAD!! It's a lovely thing to be wrong sometimes. On occasion.
Apparently.... if they wait until the end many dont tick and like or whatever. Other youtubers do the same?
@@pebblesmiller9026 I don't know? Most that I have watched do it at the end?? But, I also think that my brain is still stuck in the '80's TV mode and anything remotely sounding like an "ending" was.....does that make sense?
The music is on point today ! That apricot jam looks delicious 🤤
What a lovely rule to live by....no noise from 12 until 2 siesta time! Brilliant! Here in NZ it's always the time to do the damn lawns....with noisy machines! Time to listen to the birds and relax.
