The First Party At The Château In Over 40 Years. Ep20
This week at the chateau,
We celebrate a number of occasions, firstly, the family finally being reunited after a year long away, secondly, Ash's belated birthday party, and thirdly, to welcome friends and family to our new home.
But before all that, we have to clear all the overgrowth on the south terrace and walled garden ready for the party. A job that Ash said will only take a day for him, ended up taken 4 days with 4 people, but that is just like every other job at the chateau.
Tony tackles a monster of a machine that is older than him to help with the gardening but seems a little to much to handle.
We would like to thank everyone that was at the party and we look forward to welcoming more of you in the future.
Thank you to,

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.

When it panned into the freshly painted and stained gables, they were magnificent! The roof and the chimneys look so much better. Just seeing what can be done is so inspiring.
Patrick is helping so much in the garden
Inspector Datsun is supervising as always and approving the garden work! Those poochies are solo cute. ❤❤
Glad to see your party was a smashing success! Also, nice to know Patrick was helping out with keeping everyone in line by supervising the work. Barking out instructions to work harder, work faster. Demonstrating his digging skills as an example. 😂 Absolutely love the squirrel bench, very nice. You guys did a great job getting everything cleaned up in such a short time! Back breaking work for sure.
What a wonderful family with a work ethic to match. And Tracy again axe in hand. 👍👍👍
Thank you very much, yes Tracy is not scared of hard work 🥰
It's so funny-- I was driving down the N12 towards my house in Mayenne when out of the corner of my eye I saw your chateau and I recognised it from the videos!! Now I know how close you are I will definitely be in touch to see the progress. Cheers, Robert
Yes it’s great to see from the N12 🥰
That is so cool! I hope I get there someday !
Sweet to see Patrick is such an enthusiastic helper digging in the garden!!! Lovely job all of you, great to see you having some good fun with family and friends too!!! It was wonderful to see Phil, Angelina and Billy and know that you are all connected and supporting each other.
Love Tony’s sense of humour and all of his skills he is bringing to the table.
Tony used to do all the talking, everyone was shy on camera, now he can’t get a word in edgewise 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yes, I noticed! It was just so good! ☺️
Have you noticed that while he speaks, he pulls the hair off, his chin, chin, chin. What a lovely looking family. Patrick always steals the show, for me
Such a nice party to share! It was good to see Billy and family and Phil and Angelina as well! What a great job you did!
So nice to see them come and support you all. 👌🏼
A, 3 x Ts and J, all supervised by Patrick, barking his orders from the top of the wall. Great team work guys, looks magical for your party, happy birthday Ash 🥂🎉🎂
❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; Terry, Ash, Patrick, Panda and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤️ 🎪
It’s so wonderful to follow your journey at the chateau. Lots of familiar faces! No longer do I follow channels; instead, I’m following my “family of friends.” Thank you!
Thank you so much, it really is a family of friends ❤️🥰❤️
Its fantastic to see this 2 years old pictures of the garden and watch now the new videos. Its amazing what Your family worked! Chapeau!
Your hard work has been a tribute to the resurrection of the Chateau !!! It looks wonderful & you deserved a great celebration !!!
Really guys Tracey is unstoppable. The 4 of you better take good care of her. 😀
Thank you very much, we definitely will ❤️🥰❤️
It's delightful seeing how happy all of you are to be together and "working" your dream. Congratulations. So smart to celebrate! Too often when we are in the midst of a big project we forget to stop and celebrate the moment. Thanks for inviting us to join you at your party!!!
Mom is Wonder Woman! She deserves a cake and a group hug. Another great video. May I suggest riding lawnmower(s).
Stunningly beautiful - the terrace is gorgeous and that was just after a “tidy up”. That was a back breaking effort from all of you. What a romantic setting. Thoroughly love seeing your progress - thank you for sharing. Xx
Thanks for sharing this happy time with us. Celebrating having family together again is delightful. You've made it and every month to come will be full of milestones of accomplishment! 🐦🌿🌹🐦🌿🌹🐦🌿🌹
Holy cow, you actually hauled a big stainless steel fridge into that tent! Certainly this gives a great sense for how special events could go when the place is ready. You've been working SO hard, and it is really beginning to show.
Great effort on the garden. Nice to see Billy, Phil and Angelina were attending! Well done!!!
Your terraces are starting to look beautiful, what a find.
The whole family works so hard. Great job!
So exciting to see all the work you accomplished this week. Just Brilliant and you all deserved a party with friends and family. Congratulations!!!
And chandeliers in a tent is just brilliant 。
You all transferred the space into an ethereal fairy space, so beautiful 。
All of you did an amazing job with the clean up. I can't believe it only took a week....there was so much to clear out. I have been following you since the beginning of your journey and can't believe how much has been done to date. Well done all of you especially Tony and Tracey!!! So nice to see Angelina, Phil, Carole, Adrien and the Petherick"s at your party....that is so great that all of you are neighbours and can get together. Each of the above mentioned chateau owners know a lot about renovations, so between all of you any job is possible! Congratulations to all of you for work well done and look forward to what comes up next. Blessings from Ontario, Canada xo
Marvelous footage! Being farmers, we can appreciate what a tedious labor it is to clear out overgrowth. But the outcome was brilliant! An entire terrace uncovered for a perfect party location. Good to host it outside in the fresh air. Lovely French Country decorations! And good to celebrate with family and friends. They can see your dreams unfold firsthand. Also, I understand other chateau owners attended. I'm sure you all shared your journey and restoration progress. Your dream is unfolding in good order! Thank you for bringing us along. Your dedication and faith in this project has encourage me to keep plodding along with our own modest restorations that started in 2015. There are times when it is a bit overwhelming and I have to take a step back and breath! ~ Diane
That terrace is beautiful, you guys did a great job preparing for the party. Hi from USA.
It was wonderful to watch the beginnings of restoring your gardens.
Hi Everyone . It so good to see the chateau coming alive . It also heartwarming to see you all come together and having a moment of fun and relaxation with your friends . Tracy all this hard work is obviously good for you . The change in you in the last year has been brilliant . So full of energy and full of life . Praying you all get the homes you so desire . It certainly is a place of dreams . Love to you all.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment, it was a great night and so nice for us all to relax and enjoy. ❤️🥰❤️
A well deserved party even although you all worked super hard to get everything done in time... You lads are so lucky to have Tracey who does more than her fair share of the hard work , the gardens looked magical!! 🤗
Hats off to this family .restoring this beatiful place.some serious grass cutting machinery required...
How did I miss this episode? I really enjoy watching you having a break from hard working, you deserve it.
I like that so many chateau restorationists know and help each other. It looks like a lot of work but so very rewarding as well!
What a wonderful hardworking family. Watching Makes me want to join in!
Hi lovelies fantastic job on the chateau this week massive job Party looked fantastic the garden lights were beautiful Yes your chateau would be absolutely wonderful for weddings See you all next week 😀
Wonderful group effort! Tracy, you should be shouting ‘timber’ when you cut down those tree branches ! Good job!
That is one strong woman!
I've finally.been able to sit down to watch and as always you do not disappoint. I appreciate watching your labours bear fruit and am pleased for you that you could enjoy your grounds with friends. The evening shots were magical! Congratulations!
Wow the terrace looking beautiful all of your very hard work has paid off. Stunning really! Tracy deserves a medal for all her efforts especially! Keep going I cant wait to see what happens next!
The amount of work you have done in 1year is amazing…well done and thank you for sharing ❤️❤️👍
Your place will be beautiful for events. It’s truly the perfect size. As an event planner in the US, I would love your Chateau. Good luck in your hard work and cheers to you as a family working it out together. God Bless you all!
The shots in this edition/video are fantastic.
Thank you very much 🙏🥰🥰
Ooooh my kind of garden and lights all set for a party. Happy Birthday Ash. Another amazing blog with so much accomplished. This family are incredible - even noted Jonathan has a bigger wheelbarrow now. Just love this . Thank you so much 🎂🍰🍷
Beautiful, Chateau ! Congratulations .
Lovely vlog. Let's pray that your chateau becomes a popular wedding venue in very near future. All the best.
Thank you very much ❤️🥰
Don't bill it as just weddings. Title it "Entertaining Venues" or "Event Venue" Covering; Weddings, Anniversaries, Family Reunions, Birthdays, Baby Showers\Christenings, Party Events Galore! U could even plant corn in the open field & cut it into a corn maze for a Halloween Attraction. Lots of work but the sky is the limit! Looks Great as just a residential home also... 🌹
@@marshawargo7238 thank you very much, fantastic ideas 😁👍❤️
Lovely to see you all, looking forward to this a huge well done to everyone. Have a wonderful evening.
Thank you so much 🥰
Hard work but it is so rewarding. And the party setting looked magical. Well done team! Good luck with your future wedding plans.
A well deserved party! So glad you were all able to relax (for a bit) & enjoy yourselves. It looked magical
Thank you very much, it was a great day 🥰
Beautiful party, nice to see your family all together and nice to see all your hard work paying off bringing the building back to life….cheers
Congratulations all of you! Have enjoyed watching your vlogs and looking forward to all your future ones. 😘
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Can not wait guys thank you ❤
Again you guys are not afraid of a bit of hard graft everything came together and it looked lovely, saw some familiar faces, well done look forward to seeing your next projects.
You have done an awesome job, how wonderful it looks. I enjoy your videos so very much. Keep them coming.
Thank you so much ❤️🥰❤️
What a clever idea to use pieces of the cut trees to elevate the serving dishes. At least the pesky ivy was put to good use. You guys are amazing! So inspirational! ❤
You’ve struck gold in your find!!!
You all pulled together and got those gardens in shape. It was great fun watching you all prepare for the party too.
That was a beautiful party! And that machine was a beast!
Watching you in that very overgrown area made me think...goats. They need goats. And in general, I watch three different chateau channels and I am in absolute awe of what the three of you are accomplishing with minimal outside help. Good on you, and keep up the good work.
Four of them.
Patrick steals the show! That little guy is hilarious!!
Just looking back to where you Are here, you've come a long Way! Bravo
Nice to see you all with big smiles on your face and I am glad that you were all able to let your hair down and have a great time
You have a winner here. Great episode and again your true nature shows so well and you are very much likeable. I am loving the dogs being included. Stay true to your selves and don't accept any wooden nickels (I am sure you know what that means). Great job.
You and your family are so accomplished ! Life skills physical strength and willingness !such a pleasure to see
Bless your hearts, you deserved a good night after all your hard work. Sending love and strength for the next onslaught of never ending duties, xxxx
looks like another week of hard graft but the results are well worth it, hopefully now you are all there you will be able to keep on top of it so it doesn't grow wild again. well done great job, Robb Torremolinos Spain xxx
Amazing to see the progress and unveiling of the beautiful stone in the garden.All such hard workers . Cant wait to see the shutters repaired and replaced. I think that will bring the chateau back to life, understanding it all takes time
Beautiful 🥰❤️❤️
You guys Tracie is the real worker
Absolutely incredible, what a job you are amazing!!!👍🤙🏻👍🤙🏻💕
I must comment on the music you chose, perfect!!! Also the photography of the butterflies and squirrel great quality as everything else. Doing a fantastic job as always. X
Congratulations on all the progress made. Happy belated birthday Ash. What a beautiful party setting and decorations. Looked so magical all lit up at night. Cheers 🥂😍😘
You’re hard working family and needed a break from all your work. Looks as if it was a success. Love watching the progress your little dog helping with the digging was adorable. When the two terraces are green with grass and plants it will be beautiful.
What a beautiful home you have. Your whole family has worked so hard to fix the home. Your mom is a very hard working lady. It seems like she Iets nothing get in her way to get the job done . Two thumbs up to her ! I wish we had homes like yours in the US. The Mrs.
Beautiful wall garden, you worked so incredibly hard. Love your channel.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Brilliant teamwork. You work so hard and your chateau and grounds are looking great 👏👏🥂🥂🦘🦘🦘
The work involved is constant the whipper snippers ensure that every sinew in your arms is screaming for mercy. The Allen scythe was exciting. As a bit of a newbie bonsai person I was looking at some of the fibrous root systems even on the vines and thinking OMG this and that would make a delicious bonsai. The landscape is looking terrific it invites you to look around the next corner/wall. It warmed my heart to see such a lovely set up for the party and you all relaxing . Everything you do is putting such life back into everything. Terrific to watch. Thank you.
You know between the two oval pond/water/future/fountains, a pergola smallish would good!🤷♀️🤷♀️
I was just watching smiling the whole time! Seeing you all together working harmoniously, and seeing your progress! Kept smiling on how you all are so much happy back together but so comfortable in front of camera teasing each other. All while the youngest member is still working pushing his wheelbarrow, all while you all in front of camera. Lol! Just this! It’s easy goings from here on! 🙌🏼
Shows how much you can achieve working as a team! Seeing it all come to life again is wonderful and not a pair of gardening gloves between you !!A satisfying video especially the drone shots,greetings again from Tasmania Australia!
I now know this was one of the first videos I saw of your amazing Château journey ❤
This was just so wonderful to see you all enjoying yourselves! The tent looked amazing...well worth the hard work of putting it up! It was great to see familiar faces of other Chateau owners. I just love at the end when you are all talking together. I'm really loving your videos & seeing your journey! Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Much love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Omg, what a wonderful surprise.💗🇨🇦🐉👩🏼⚖️
Oh! I see Angelina, Phil, Billy & Gwen & their boys!
Yes all where there ❤️🥰❤️
Even the dogs are working :) I like your choice of music. It is so satisfying to see your progress.
Loved this video. Wow, the transformation of the terrace and the walled garden is absolutely amazing. What a fantastic job. Loved seeing it all. Thank you for taking us on your journey. You certainly deserved a party for all your hard work. The place looked magical at night, with all the lights. I also saw Billy and Phil & Angelina. Glad you have them as friends also. Cheers 🥂🍻
Wow ! What great job. That has given the whole place a lift. The garden has great “bones” for your business. It’s all going to be so pretty and the perfect venue or bolt hole for a summer break. As always good luck and stay happy!👌😉
Good to see family and friends gathering!!! Great work on getting the grounds ready. I know there is so much y’all want to achieve and in time it will get done. Thank you for sharing
Love you guys. You're working so hard and I can't wait for next weeks update xxx
Thank you very much 🥰🥰
It is just extraordinary what you accomplish each week! I feel so fortunate to have discovered you that I can go on this journey with you.
Thank you for posting all that goes on in repairing and restoring something that was once so beautiful but neglected for so long. It must have been soooo lovely back in the day. I am so pleased that you are restoring this. Wondering how the pond turned out. 💝🙏🏻🥰❤️💕🐶🦋 Phyllis from Fountain Hills Arizona U.S.A.

Thank you so much, it was a great night 😊
Who else noticed the supervising the dogs did? Patrick got stuck in. Fine digger (13:53). The whole family works hard. Great progress. Lovely party. "Proper French" hahahha, the extension cords
Amazing videography, definitely some of the best I've seen on the chateau channels.
So enjoyed this video. The content, music, butterflies and dogs and all you guys. Terrific work and end result. Looked fabulous all lit up. Just beautiful. Have a good week 🌸
You did so well ,it looked fabulous. Lovely to see you altogether.
I used an Allen Autosythe about 45 years ago when I was an apprentice with the parks department in Portsmouth, what a beast they are but great for clearing areas of waste ground. You have all done a fantastic job, keep up the good work.
