How I missed your videos. I enjoyed so much to see you doing your own thing, no TH-cam press, no algorithms, just real life. The footage, choice of music and narrating were a work of art as well. Thank you so much for this. Looking forward to see what's next. Much love from Belgium.
Thank you, Brook and Rebecca. It's good to see you again, and your boys with blurred faces. You have been missed. Your 2024 year's work has achieved so much. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Thanks Beverley! It's funny because it's been our most productive year, but because I filmed less when I came to editing this it felt like it hadn't been that productive - until Rebecca reminded me! Anyway here's to 2025!
How nice to see another video--I do appreciate the boys being blurred. My goodness, how they have grown! Amazing progress on the homestead. You are really living the life you wanted for yourselves and for the boys.From where you started to now--just amazing transformation.
Another gorgeous slow-paced masterpiece Brook. There’s little more satisfying than documented progress. And leaving the grand reveal until the end of the year is familiarly poetic, knitting together the seasons visually and practically. I hope you’re both super proud of what you are achieving for yourselves and your boys. I feel privileged to be watching your lives unfold and grow in all the ways. 😊
Wow, you definitely look and sound better for making the changes to your TH-cam life, glad to see your all well x much love and happiness see you next year x
Congratulations to both of you on a very successful year, great progress on your renovation turning into a beautiful home, well done. Wishing you a healthy and happy 2025.
You have been missed, but this video shows how much you have accomplished over the year. Love that you are away from utube and allow yourselves family togetherness... good on you, I like that.
Hi guys wow what a year you have had busy busy . Everything you filmed is fantastic you have done marvels with your garden and house and gosh how much the boys have grown. I hope you have a great New Year and I can’t wait to see what you achieve in 2025 . Oh yes we get George Clark’s show here as well I loved your impersonation it was so good .😀🥂🇦🇺🙋♀️
This was enjoyable! Love seeing you grow! Learning new skills is always good for us isn’t it?! I am much older than you and still am learning. Updates like this are great.
I thoroughly enjoyed this beautifully put together “timelapse year”. I wish I had your calm demeanour.......looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful re worked home and how you fair in 2025... Good luck .
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Bravo please in the future do what works for you on TH-cam! If you don’t wanna do monthly or six month videos. Please don’t! If you don’t, wanna talk or tell the process to accomplish something then don’t . Brook, please do what works for you works for you. I will watch whatever you put out even if it’s once a year. You’ve made so much progress in your home in your garden and if this brings you peace of mind doing yearly videos, I applaud you and Rebecca and your two beautiful children. Thank you for putting this video together and seeing so many of your accomplishes in the garden around your fruit garden the guttering, the pointing the work in your house and the rewiring of the electrical. I thank you for sharing. You’re always in my thoughts. Please do what’s in your heart and best for yourself, and your family. ❤
So nice to see you back with an amazing update...thank you!! The boys have grown so much and are adorable! The pointing on the walls looks so good and makes things look so finished. Your office is beautiful and looks cozy. You have certainly done a lot this year....congratulations. Your home must be a lot warmer now as well. I am so happy for you and your family to have done so much. Well done and thank you for updating us. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year and all the best. Much love from Canada xo
Thank you so much for sharing. It's so lovely to see you both again. Bonne année 2025 et au plaisir de suivre votre parcours l'année prochaine, bonne continuation! Bravo encore et merci beaucoup!
Sending best wishes to you , Rebecca and your family for a very happy and healthy New Year, and thank you for sharing your Loire journey with us here in you tube.
I have really enjoyed all your videos, but I think I love even more this year’s end view format. It is a busy life you have, and thank you for sharing it so beautifully.
Wonderful to come across this video tonight, so good to catch up with you all and your achievements. Thank you for posting. Happy New Year to you and your lovely family.
Wow! You have learnt & achieved SO much, you must be incredibly proud. Wonderful to see you all again. Félicitations et bonne continuation en 2025 🎉 And George Clarke made me laugh out loud 😂
Great to hear from you and the family. The property and buildings are impressive - well done. I appreciate the boys blurred faces (I wish more channels would follow your lead). Loved seeing the playful cats, table tennis table in use - brings back many good memories, and the discussion regarding the experiences and life skills the boys are gaining. Are you currently adding to the family, or it may have already happened? Keep smiling. You are a beautiful family. I think one has to be half mad to vlog on TH-cam - with all the toxic words and time involved, so please remember to look after YOU. I hope the boys (or cats) didn't wake you up to early on Christmas day. Happy New Year 🙃🥳.
How wonderful that you and your family have returned. We sincerely know that you’re feeling absolutely great. Now, get on with your pleasing episodes, so that we also can enjoy your lives. All the best 🙂↔️ 🎉
Unlike others, I absolutely forgot to mention that our message to you and your wife, was sent from Los Gatos, California with a heap of love and success!
Wow!!! So good to see you all again here - missed your story telling... And it is so pleasing to see your massive progress with the complete overhaul renovation as well as all the beauty you show in the "little" things - the changing seasons, impressive clouds, flowers, the playfulness of the kittens, your gorgeous young helpers in the garden, dart arrows hitting an intended mark perfectly... Thank you for sharing this work of art - snippets of your life, beautifully edited and underscored with fitting music... All the very best for 2025 for you and your family, incl. the furry and feathered members! 😊🥳
Great to see you again bud. The joy of hard effort seems missing these days. Sun on your back, sweat on your brow and dirt on your hands, nothing like it. Your family looks like you are prospering. What great memories they’ll have, so worth any sacrifice.
Good to see you and the family back….what amazing progress you’ve made! Now a great New Year is upon us….big great changes are coming including your new kitchen!
Great to see you all again. Merry Christmas (belated) and a happy new year. Really enjoyed seeing your improvements and I love the way you have done this vlog. Your content is always interesting and varied. Well done all of you on your hard work. The garden is something to be so proud of, all the lovely veggies you have all lovingly produced for your family.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video - the way you presented this year was very calming, when I realise that it was a year of intense action. Thank you. Best wishes.
Lovely to see you all again, with this meditative presentation of a heck of a lot of work. Best wishes to you family and your plans for the coming year. btw, brilliant George Clarke imitation.
Congratulations for you two !!! I have followed you , and I was missing you. But this resume was excelent in every way. Keep going brave couple, Happy New Year, from Chile with LOVE
You're doing amazing work Brook...it's so nice seeing the house come together like this and watching your skills develop. Congratulations and I am so looking forward to your next video! I hope I won't have to wait 12 months... Ha ha!... maybe you could do a quarterly update? Be well all of you.
Oh guys your efforts are just amazing... love that path with tall flowers going to the barn, missed your videos, but i know it's a "one off", beautiful views of the countryside. hope you're all doing well, stay warm Brook and Beck's. Happy New year
Lovely, just lovely 😊I've missed your videos but you know I think the long wait was worth it. Well done on walking your own path and the house is coming along beautifully. Hoping you had a peaceful Christmas and wishing you now a Happy New Year. Hot here at the moment (it always is at Christmas) how I miss the cold days 😪 of Christmas! Looking forward to your next video and I'll keep looking out for a surprise when you post it whether it be in a week or a year. ☺
We've had a lot of fog lately so I wouldn't turn down a day or two of heat. But we have previously spent two Christmases in hot countries and it is odd when you're used to it being cold!
You and your wife have accomplished so much. You are both amazing. You have 2 healthy, busy children you are raising while going through this enormous renovation! Thank you for sharing. Hopefully, you will show your future progress when you are able.
The work you both have done is incredible😊what abeautiful home you have given your boys to growup in😊 well done 😊 happy newyear and God bless you all xxxxxx😊
Microwavé 🤣 Thanks. you two (4)! So relaxing (sorry) watching you work (it was the music!) Have been thinking of you and wishing you Bonne fin d'année. 😍😍
Hi there! Thank you for sharing, I hope and I wish for you guys all the best for 2025. I know it will be a year of growth and even more beautiful memories will be made. Take care and upload more!!!🎉
You live only once and you better do it your own way. Your home is improving step by step and so are your skills. It’s looking good and you are looking good. See you!
Well that was worth waiting for! I have missed you and often wondered how you all were but if this way works for you that's all that matters.Love,peace and happiness to you all.❤
Glad to see you’re all doing okay. I must say that this video, the images, the voice and the music had me dozing off. Very calming. I’m taking timeout from being downstairs because my daughter is snapping at me for everything at the moment so I’m obviously not doing the right things. Glad Xmas is over.
Just filming and letting the action tell the story is a good way of going about making videos. Martijn Doolaard does this and I find it very enjoyable to watch. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more videos in the year to come.
You have done so very well. Please celebrate 🎉 all the little wins to keep the momentum going. I Love what you doing. I'm visiting France next May and dream of doing what your doing. 😊❤❤
Such a great video and well done on the progress over the year, you have both been busy! You have found your niche when it comes to video making, great music, great narration and made us want to move to France! Looking forward to seeing your next installment, all the best for 2025! 🎉

Thanks Lizette. Slowly but surely. We're certainly not a speed renovation channel but it has been good to see some solid progress this year.
I don't think I've ever clicked on a video so fast. Thank you both for the time you put into this, for sharing your life in France with us.
Thank you for doing this compilation video and sharing all that you have accomplished. Wishing you all a very blessed New Year.
Happy New Year to you too Jamie!
