In this week's Friday episode, Patrick and Stuart welcome the return of Brad Quarless from "Parfait Parquet" to work on the restoration of the chateau oak wood floors on the first floor. The echelle pattern parquet floor in the chateau dates from the 17th century. Patrick also spends some time planting seeds to pre-grow some starter plants for the chateau garden and potager (kitchen garden).

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. Ginger was always there by your side or following you around. She led a good long life and got to spend her end days at a chateau in France with her loving owners. What more could a doggy ask for.

    • Carole, thank you so very much. Indeed Ginger was a forced of nature. Always the leader and she loved her life here in France. We will miss her terribly. So grateful for your comment ❤❤❤

  • From my view, you never have to apologize for laughing! We all need more laughter and cheer in our lives, not less. One thing I love about your vlog is how you two convey a sense of genuinely enjoying life and each other and the grand adventure that you are on, that you have created. You find a way to see humor or goodness, no matter the situation, like when that downspout got terribly clogged, or when you had trouble with that tractor, or when you had to rent a jack hammer, which Tony used to take out the raised concrete area in kitchen. Thank you for brightening so many days by being your dear selves and doing all you do, with your upbeat, can-do attitude. How beautiful the spring flowers, and the filming of the flowers! Big thanks from Maine, where it is still cold.

  • Those floors are going to look absolutely fabulous after they’ve been “Gilboy’d”. Today’s vlog with the flowers and planting really cheered me up after the very sad broadcast from our beautiful Catherine, Princess of Wales that she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. Then I get to the end and see that one of your much loved pets has passed away, I’m so sorry. You are in my thoughts.

    • They sure will be amazing floors. Now, we watched the announcement of the Princess of Wales are we are so sad. A young family…. And yes, Ginger had cancer and the announcement today was hitting a soft spot. We will bury Ginger tomorrow and pray for Catherine and the Wales family. Love your comment Jane (yes, we teared up watching the announcement). Bless you ❤❤❤

I am going through a very challenging time in life and watching the both of you and hearing your laughter is a huge help to me. Finally, the squeaky floors are special. Having grown up in homes 21:16 built in the 1700’s and 1800’s, I find squeaky floors very comforting!!

  • Good morning Patrick & Stuart, laughter is a sign of a happy soul. Loved this video, the flowers - they just always melt my heart - we are now into Autumn, so, sweet peas and some other winter flowers can be planted, alas, I must move. So sorry for the loss of Ginger, she always came in to see what's happening, I will miss her. Brad did a wonderful work with the flooring and the replacement board worked out wonderful, I wish him all the best for his future contracts, may it go very well with him and his company. He is a treasure. Exciting news regarding the cooking kitchen coming up, that will be a lot of fun and challenging. Glad you can enjoy good weather, it is so lovely to be outside potting about and having tea. Do enjoy a great weekend, kind regards, and many blessings. Are you cooking up a storm for Easter or going off to visit friends? We are at home, it is Easter school holidays and the coastal areas are always packed.

  • The Chateau floors are soooo beautiful now, what a great job was done sanding them back to their natural beauty. Once your finishing oiling is applied it will enhance them even more. I too love pumpkin, sweet peas are so wonderful, love your Brocantes finds and pleeeeze Patrick never stop or apologise for smiling or laughing! 😂🥰

  • I am so sorry for your loss. Ginger was such a good girl. It always hurts so much, especially when you have a whole pack and all of a sudden the pack gets smaller and smaller (it happened to us, we lost 5 of our 7 dogs within the last 1.5 years due to old age). Just know that you gave Ginger the best of life and she enjoyed it very much. *hugs*

    • Thank you so much. It is always hard. She was amazing and the most stubborn dog one can ever have 😉🤣🥰. I cannot imagine your pain for your losses. 2 losses in 5 months was as much as my heart can take. We had 2 breeder friends who warned us to spread out the ages of our dogs to not loose too many at once. Good advice but Collin wasn’t even 7…. So we pay the price for loosing them by getting so much love from them. Huge hugs from us at the Chateau

    • @@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 We always have rescues and foster dogs, esp the old ones, the sick and weird ones, so theoretically we know that their time is limited. So far, even though it was very hard, we had some miracles. Like some older abused dogs which were on death' door recovered with us and we had the pleasure to see them reaching old age depending on their size as well as health status (our Podengo Portuges Careto was a tripawed, half dead and between 6 to 9 years old when he came to us and he lived with us for ten more years, Gina a little poodle girl we took in after her owner died, was 12 when we got her and died a few days shy of her 20th birthday). I was devastated when I heard about Collin, esp as he was so young. Our youngest is 7 now, and Lina has always been and still is the 'Wirbelwind'. But it is so damn quiet around here and we are thinking of giving another rescue a nice comfy home for however long soon. We will see, room in our house and hearts is more than enough.

He does a fantastic job. I was super impressed by the Gilboys brand after watching Terry and Ash finish their floors and when they use the product on furniture, the pieces look lovely. The small table you picked up for them, doesn’t look like the same piece after he used the product on it. Enjoy spring and many hugs!!! ❤️

And I’m so jealous of your mortar and pestle. ♥️ I bought a small one, and the pestle is a joke - a skinny stick of a thing. I’ll have to make my own. Thanks for showing yours; that design looks easy to make. I’m so sorry to hear that you lost another pup. 😢 The lives of our four legged family members are always too short. Big hugs.

  • Patrick and Stuart, the floors look fantastic. Bravo, Brad! Patrick, you were doing some pretty intense planting when Stuart came by to chat. You were laser focused. If it all sprouts and grows, you will reap an abundant harvest. I'm anxious to see your garden in August. The copper pots are awesome. I buy kitchen utensils as I come across them too. I just bought a used All-Clad LTD large frying pan for $15. I couldn't pass it up. You're making great progress. ❤ from TX!
