I'm so happy for Benoit, not only for his impressive, safe, modern equipment but also for his new assistant. Onward and upward.
Felicitacions Benoit!
❤🥰🥰❤❤❤❤👨👩👧👧
Many safe happy years with these newer safer tools!!🥰😃😊😁🇺🇸💕❤️
Is new left hand 😂
Oh I am too. It’s wonderful for him and of course so much safer now. Best wishes to him. God bless.
Actually, Philipp pointing out how not everyday is exciting or interesting is so important for people to hear these days. Life is not a perfectly lit instagram post, or video. And we all need to remember that! Also love to see Benoit up and about again :D
Rightt i neeeded someone to say that...everyones life basically goes thru the same cycle...we have struggles we dont always get moments on camera and we learn a lot by living.
So happy for him, Benoit deserves the best tools for his fantastic carpentry.
Benoit looks ten years younger! So pleased he has Vincent to work by his side...he is itching to get started with his new toys. Thanks to you, Anna, Daphne and Ian for starting the funding page to support your friend.
Hoping Ella and Lily will soon be healed.
Anna, love the plants from your shopping spree.
Phillip, we all have little obstacles when we're doing jobs around our homes. Your good humour helps you through.
Take care all...thank you for the vlogs, never boring and always with good humour!
I too thought that Benoit looks younger.
You can't keep a good craftsman down. Blessings to Benoit and Vincent!!! Ditto to his friends who believe in Benoit and supported him.
So glad to see Benoit so happy and grateful…. Things may sometimes be not so interesting but you always make us smile. Good job !
and after all that, Benoit looks great, rested, happy eyes and feeling the love sent to him. A high five ending with Phillip clasping Anna's fingers, and an oops...perfectly enjoyable.
You guys are bringing me to tears. Phillip, what you did for Benoit was from the heart. Helping a FRIEND IN NEED! He is beside himself with gratitude for your selfless act. Phillip, you bring the “funniest dry humor”and Anna brings a “heartwarming artistic elegance” to your podcast. So enjoy your journey. ❣️🥰
I agree with all you said
Greetings from a usually silent watcher (aka lurker). Just want to say I am so happy for Benoit and I really loved how he arranged his bandages! I would've done the same, always look for some fun in bad things you can't change for now :) I'm not sure how to say it in proper english but I really hope for Benoit to keep a good recovery, of course as quickly and best as possible! And Vincent looks like a decent guy :)
Am hoping Vincent is a total "nutcase" like Benoit and Phillip........Look forward to seeing the banter between them all!! HUGS Benoit.....
Lovely to see Benoit and his rainbow of fingers, they look a bit like happy sausages. We’re all so glad his new tools are proving to be a joy for him. He has a long recovery road ahead, and I hope knowing that a renovated workshop awaits him at the end will help to keep his spirits up through this difficult time. Philipp, many thanks to you and Anna for starting the funding drive and giving it so much time in your videos. In the language of my people, it was a mitzvah.
As a woodworker myself, I'm so glad to have been able to contribute a little to Benoit new tools! Losing finger is way to common in our trade. I'm glade he will now have safer tools.
How wonderful for Benoit! His heart must be filled with so much joy. To have your wishes come true, to work safely at a job you love, is gold! When something terrible happens to you it's nice to know people care.
Happy to Benoit smiling, the tools and his assistant will change his life for the better. He deserves it.
It brought tears to my eyes watching Benoit’s equipment being installed and his words of gratitude. Tools are the life of a craftsman; and to see someone who works hard and produces quality work receiving such blessings was very moving.
Wonderful outcome for Benoit! My husband's only disappointment was that he really wanted a close up on all the new tools. We got a huge laugh out of the Philip and Alexa interplay - while he was giving instructions (or trying to) he activated our Alexa who was trying in vain to respond at the same time as yours - ours also did not accept feedback! As my husband and our Alexa have an ongoing love/hate relationship he was heartened to find that he wasn't alone in his battle to control AI. My sister actually asked our Alexa the other day if she liked my husband. Alexa's response "Hmmmm. I have to think about that".
Philipp, it was refreshing to hear an influencer such as yourself be honest about the "uninteresting". And I'm glad your day ended with some success. Congratulations, Benoît! Be happy and well in your new atelier. Welcome to the family, Vincent.
Wonderful to see Benoit looking so well and happy in his new atelier.
HE WHISTLES! I love to hear a person whistle.
Benoit is so humble and proud but above all talented and funny.
So pleased for Benoit and that he has someone to work with 😊
Thank you Philip, Anna, Daphne and Ian for giving us all the opportunity to help a wonderful man, and such a remarkably skilled craftsman. I'm delighted that my small donation not only helped Benoit be safer, but most of all that his is passing his knowledge on to Vincent, and hopefully others in the future too. He will be a marvelous teacher and mentor.
The perfect use of internet. Besides being an artist, Benoit’s joyous nature is just heartwarming.
Benoit deserves at least a week in the Tropics. So happy for his recovery, new --and safe! equipment....and "left hand assistant."
It was so good to see Benoit and to see him so happy and humble .so happy for him .
Wonderful to see Benoit happy!! Good to see he has a new artist joining him - and with the new equipment we are sure this Vincent doesn’t lose an ear 😉
I am tearful knowing so many contributed to this project. Knowing he has a sidekick to train and assist as well as fabricate together brings me great joy. Congratulations Benoît
ROFL ooops. Benoit has new equipment and an apprentice - How Wonderful!! His hand is healing well by the looks of things too. Such good news! I am so happy for Benoit, his love for carpentry had him using the tools available and now he has the tools to match his skills and the motivation to heal to use them. Amazing!
As an ICU nurse Benoit is very lucky to keep all his fingers on his 👋. We had alot of farming accidents weather via ambulance, helicopter, or plane . My hospital it's king of orthopedics in Midwest of USA, I'm very very happy for him. ❤️💪
Anna those unknown plants you have bought are Gaura, we call them Pink Butterfly Bush, they’re pretty hardy.
And glad Benoit’s machinery has arrived.
Hi Anna! From what I see here, the little white flowers are Eringeron. They grow fast and are everflowering, at least in my temperate climate. Great for the sides of stone steps or tiles, and generally for boxes. BUT they encroach and can suffocate the plants they're around. No need to prune, you can tear the excess growth with your hands to keep them under control.
So jealous of those lilacs! What heavenly scent 💜
Also delighted for Benoit!
Awe I love the colors for Benoit, they truly are perfect for his skin tone. Glad he is recovering well and he has all kinds of new toys!
So happy for Benoît! Now he can work safely and has help.
Lovely flowers 💚🌿🌸
So wonderful to see Benoit with his new tools and a new employee to help. Love his idea of people sending in photos, what a great touch. Best wishes for his future
Well don the lights as well Phillip! Garden looks wonderful as well
How exciting for Benoit to have all new woodworking tools. I’m happy to be a tiny part of his joy. I truly wish you’re vlog was twice a week I enjoy it so much.
Great things happening to a great person!
Benoit is always such a wonderful person & a lot of us have seen it along the way. Not surprised that here he shows his gratefulness for all of the wonderful people who donated for him. A very well deserved gift for all the hard work & effort that he does to help chateau owners with restoration. I'm also happy he has a new helper because this will also help him increase his business safely with the new equipment. Welcome Vincent!
So happy for Benoit, and well deserved ❤ Glad to see Philipp had some success after the other disappointing jobs. His voice set off our Alexa when he accessed the lights 😂 Cheers from 🇨🇦
Hurray for Benoit’s new equipment. I can see how genuinely touched he is by all the donations and well wishes. If there was ever someone who deserves this type of response, it’s him. And Philipp - what a wonderful thing you, Anna, Daphne and Ian have done for him.
I am so happy that Benoit had his new tools delivered and he is still a cutie. Philip, it's just a moment in time, just look at all of your other sucesses. Nothing can possibly go right all of the time, else we would never enjoy our sucesses. Remember, you need many flowers to bring the pollinators into your garden. Maybe you can have an arrangement with a bee keeper and get some honey in exchange for them putting the hives on your property.
J’en ai des larmes aux yeux! Je suis super contente pour Benoît. Il le mérite tellement car il est plus qu’un artisan, c’est un artiste du bois. En plus, il est super sympa! Alors, gros bisous à Benoît de la part de ses fans du Canada 🇨🇦 et un gros merci aux 4 châtelains d’avoir démarré cette belle initiative.
So happy that Benoit is healing and proceeding with his new equipment and his helper. He will be busier than ever while also being safe. Thanks to Philip and Anna and Ian and his wife for helping Benoit.
Benoit❤❤❤!! So happy that 4 lovely people have arranged something for another lovely person. And there’s a new face to boot!
What a blessing to see a true craftsman united with great equipment.
Congratulations Benoit! Hope it helped you even a little after your nasty injury x
Well done, Philipp, for setting the ball rolling with Benoit’s gofundme-initiative. Sometimes you need to be given the credit you deserve for very entertaining content, but also all the little things you do, making huge differences. Your subtle humor, your self-deprecating quirps and multitude of skills (especially measuring) make for award-worthy content. Thank you! 🇿🇦
Great to see Benoit looking well and happy. Looking forward to seeing him using all the new equipment 😊
Benoit I'm so HAPPY for youuuu!!!! ♥🧡💛💚💙💜💓💖🥰😘
Its great to see an artist like Benoit get quality tools and equipment.(i think the little white flowers are Erigeron and the tall pink flowered plants are Gaura,’butterfly bush’) Hi Hildergard!
Thankyou & Cheers!
I love reading Benoits’ get well messages, please don’t feel left out Philip!!! Benoit u r truly one of a kind!!!
Phillip, you make everything interesting! You are so funny! And, I agree with Anna about how you look with your glasses on!😎
What a huge blessing for this kind, funny, talented carpenter! I can't wait to see the lovely projects he builds with his fancy new machinery. Your new assistant will be learning from the greatest! Enjoy! Stay safe!
Thats great news for Benoit, and what a lovely thing he asked of the people that helped with the money, he was so appreciative.
Awwwww, Just to see Benoit’s face upon receiving all his new equipment just made my day!!! He is so dear to us, your followers. You guys and the other couple have done such a nice thing. Now, Benoit is going to work in a safe environment.
As to the the girls...so sorry that they had such injuries. I hope they heal soon. The Chateaux is looking beautiful!
Very glad to see Benoit's life changing in this way, to see the light and the life in his eyes is such a treasure!! Vincent's presence was and is a welcome shock!! 😄😁 TY for everything you, Anna, Ian, Daphne, and every can't be named persons for helping make his never dared to dream dream come to fruition 😊🥰🥰 everything at the chateau is looking great but there's an awwwwww for the injured munchkins!!! Huggles for Lily and Ella and Ziggy too just because ❤️❤️❤️🐻🐸🦴
The soft colours of the chateau marry well with your lovely garden. You work is honouring this beautiful historic home
It is so wonderful to see Benoit on the mend. His new workshop will help him beyond measure.
Congratulations Benoit! It was great seeing him again. I love your content no matter what is happening. Aesthetically everything is so beautiful and relaxing it's even a pleasure to watch paint dry 😍 Thank you for bringing joy, beauty and my favorite type of humor.
So happy to hear… we love you Benoit ❤
I am so happy for this fine craftsman to finally have safe, up to date equipment.
He made beautiful things with the old, so I hope he finds much joy creating more, safely. :)
Love from BC Canada
Super! So happy for Benoit and appreciate the people who gave to a man who gives his all.
I love that both of you are consistently hoarding plants, be it trees or flowers.
Anna is so creative and intellectual while Phillip, you are so funny. It was so good of Ben to thank you in person and others for the new safe equipment he got. I love watching you both.
Lovely to see the results of so many people's generosity. Benoit is such a craftsman that he will make beautiful things with his fab new 'toys' and with Vincent continue to 'pay it forward ' by sharing his expertise
The happiness on Benoit’s face with his new “toys” is such a joy to see!
And Vincent also is a happy addition!
In my village in Dordogne there is an incredible huge 16 th century chateau with a botanical park where I walk the dogs and there are many Judas trees, I didn't know that name of them until you told me here. The colours in real life are incredible. There are also lots of dogwood/cornus and last winter I cut a branch and stuck it into the ground and it is covered in young leaves now, as easy as that!
Hi Stephanie. The Judas tree gives lot's of seeds after flowering. But you need to plant them straight into a pot. If they grow on the ground and you try to dig them up the die. They did when I tried. The seedlings grow very strong roots in the ground. They are a lovely tree. Best wishes from Australia 💚💜
@@franpie2264 Thank you, I will look at what the seeds are like and when to pick them and plant them. Best wishes from the south of France x
That pink ornamental tree is known here in the southern US as a Redbud, a more attractive name. I wonder if there are any other local names in Europe. It seems a shame to associate it with the betrayer.
@@cs3742 Yes much prettier, it's latin name is Cercis siliquastrum. Back when I made gardens (for myself) I used to know most of the plant names in English French and Latin, but alas no more ! x
Isn’t it also called a smoke bush? If not they are closely related.
So happy for Benoit that he got his new equipment and an assistant. He deserves a safe environment to create. Phillip is hysterical a usual and Ziggy is definitely a star ⭐️ Wishing the girls a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 😍😘
We are all so happy for Benoit! Please give us updates on his lovely new workshop once it is all set up!
The flowers for the garden look beautiful.
How great to see Benoit so happy with his new equipment. Now he can continue to do the work he loves to do and feel safe doing it. Such a success fundraising for this wonderful person. ❤❤❤
I am thrilled about what was done for Benoit. So kind of folks. He is such a nice man. 🧡
SO HAPPY for the new safer equipment. USE IT IN GOOD HEALTH! How wonderful to have a good helper too. Craftmen are SO NEEDED TODAY. Carry on with the new equipment and making beautiful things!!!
Brought tears to my eyes
Aaaah. The trampoline park-- so much fun..so sorry the girls are injured. Hope they have a very speedy recovery.
❤ Your vlogs are never long enough. I'm not complaining. Please upload more. You all are loved even Benoit n Nathan. I'm glad he is doing better n has a safer machine. Thank you for the update on Benoit!
And children have no taste anyway 😆🤣
It's really good to see Benoit healing well from his accident, and being gifted with safer, modern equipment so he can continue making beautiful things. Phillip and Anna, Daphne and Ian, thank you for spearheading the funding page to help your friend, who has become the broader community's virtual friend. And welcome, Vincent, to a sometimes exciting, sometimes meandering but always welcoming wider community.
Phillip, a big success of yours went completely unrecognized. Near the very end of the episode, you whistled a complex tune in perfect pitch like a graduate from a top classical whistling conservatory.
So glad to see Benoit so happy.
Extremely happy for Benoit. loved to see Daphne and Ian making a guest appearance
Benoit you deserve to work safely,a humble man and has to put up with Phillip.😂😂.👍
Benoit, you deserve these new toys no matter what age you may be.
Phillip you really are having a bad day….. 🤦♀️💛
Benoit is so happy and appreciated of the love and generosity from all❤. We can see he is so touched ❤❤
The ordering from Italy made me laugh!
So happy for Benoit. Looking forward to seeing his work with Vincent. Welcome, Vincent!
I’m so thrilled Benoit has brand new tools. What a joy and also happy his fingers are healing. Thank you Phillip and the other channel for helpful mg him along.
Philipp, I would be happy simply watching you drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Just following you and Anna around (without me getting underfoot) is pleasure enough. Please do let us watch Anna making her loose informal flower bouquets and see where she puts them. We haven't visited the other charming rooms in the chateau for a while. There are no lilacs here and I miss them. Love to all of you from St Augustine Fl. 💗
Great video… I loved the foraging wild flowers arrangement. Happy for Benoit; hope he doesn’t get hurt anymore!
Very happy for Benoit. Vincent is lovely, please feature him some time 😍
This was great! Happy for Benoit and his new toys and partner! And Phillip and Anna,,you are both so delightful to watch! Congrats on the TV show! Couldn't happen to anyone better,,you set the standard for Chateau entertainment, in my old lady from USA humble opinion!! 😊❤
Everyday things in life that you share trust me, are enough to spend 20 minutes out of our busy life. Happy for Benoit!!!
Just seeing that gorgeous kitchen bathed in soft sunlight is excitement enough for me 😊 With some random guy babbling in the foreground.
So happy for Benoit! ❤✋🏻His new and safer equipment and a bonus - assistant Vincent! Anna, you looked so delighted throughout with all of your flowers - spring is your season! Better days ahead for the girls and Philip!🙂💖
I offen like the "slow-vlogs" Like this one best. ☺️ And yay for Benoit🎉
Good to know! thanks, will do it again.
Wonderful to see Benoit happy again. It was looking quite difficult for a bit for him. So glad he has new toys as well as an assistant (hi Vincent!). As always you all crack me up with your antics and your way of handling difficult days. I wish all of you happy and healthy futures.
So happy to see donations in action and to see the donations going to help the right people.
What a wonderful thing to do for your friend,what a difference it will make to him. Perhaps you are a inspiration to us all because that’s what good friends do. Congratulations Philip. Now back to work.
You have Gaura Lindhemersii (butterfly bush) and The one that looks like a wild daisy is erigeron karvinskianus it loves the heat. Enjoy your gardening ps: plant shopping is never a waste of time !!
I think that Philipp will be unable to comment on any plant shopping after his tree spree. 😄
I love gauras, I have a bunch. They grow really large. In my experience they need a sharp pruning in the winter, almost all the way down. I also guessed erigeron! Good to know my gardening eye is working ☺️
And I think the blue/purple might be Campanula poscharskyana, not Lobelia. What do yall think? :)
So happy to see Benoit happy and healing. Loved the video too.
Life isn’t always exciting and certainly you can’t have a camera ready for every exciting moment. I enjoy the mundane, when things don’t always go right, but you can still smile and crack jokes and be relatable to all of us. Benoit is so grateful yet it is all very well deserved. He looks so much better and now having an assistant will make life so much better for him. Wishing him well, and to you sweet daughter that she recovers soon. Anna the flowers are beautiful. xx
I’m smiling from ear to ear because seing Benoit setting up his new workshop made my day 💚🥰😎🤪. Amazing amount raised - 👏!!!
About the château, go easy on yourselves - it is not sustainable if you are not enjoying the day to day pace of it & in your shoes, I would consider perhaps filling the chateau up with either family or a few house guest to celebrate how you can now enjoy a more relaxed summer for the first time… ❤ this is, after all, what uou have worked for all along! IMO… just film a little bit here and there, but try to accept that since you have now done a lot of your renovations, your content must change pace, and that it SHOULD be a bit slower for a bit.
Try to focus on village life &
on a day like today, you can, for examples, tell us more about Benoit, about his new colleague -we would have loved a few words from him - perhaps a few words about your plans for anything you will do in the fall, over summer.
Shed a tear for brave Benoît and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the video as always. Hope the girls get well soon! What a blessing to have this weird and lovely channel in my life.
loved the gratitude Benoit showed the generous viewers and his request for signed photos of these lovely people ❤ That made me cry and i see how much this means to him and his humble sweet grace❤
Its good to hear some of the not so easy parts of renovating as I also get down when things don’t work out well as you want all the time. Old buildings are like old people and need to just be given time to rest a bit and that gives the workers time to go smell the roses❤😂
If they clone Benoit, can I have one?
Glad Benoit has got better tools now ❤ you do make me laugh Phillip 😂 Anna you can tell alexa to turn off lights and on 😂 The flowers you picked from the garden was beautiful. loved Watching as usual ❤🎉
