I'm binging your channel from the beginning, so that's why comments on old vlogs. If you get a donkey, you'll have to get two because a single lonely and depressed. A while ago I think I read some recommendations for you to watch Garden Answer for great gardening tips. They're in Colorado, but Laura is one of the best vloggers I've come across - other than you two of course. Her raised beds are so nice and her in ground cut flower garden is always a treat to look at, and she's just started an orchard.
You must buy the dog and donkey together as babies and let them grow up together as donkeys are very social and need buddies as much as dogs. With those two your wildlife invader issues would soon end with a little training.
Sounds lovely, but if you then take the dog into the house at night the donkey will be braying for its friend all night and you won't get a wink of sleep. Better get two donkeys. Twice the fun, and not that much more work.
Philipp, your filmmaking is just so much better than other vlogs. The scripting, editing, the way you frame each shot and capture the girls, really beautiful. If you’re taking votes from your viewers, I vote 1️⃣for the dog, 2️⃣donkey, then 3️⃣motorcycle.
Yes, I know Philipp doesn't mind being the silly one while the rest of the family makes fun of him, but I know that it is his editing, storytelling, and filmmaking that is creating such a wonderful vlog. The mild drama and humor completely adds to it.
Beautiful day, beautiful gardens and extra beautiful daughters. Phillip, have a master plan as he suggested but just start, you would be amazed how quickly the time goes by. Your film skills matched the spirit of the gardens.
My wife and I love watching your videos. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but I have to say your music is always in excellent taste and adds to the pleasure of your videos. I have to mention this because there are so many vlogs in which the music is so irritating and such a distraction it ruins what otherwise would be an interesting and entertaining effort. Thank you.
An astoundingly beautiful countryside , and the garden is simply a dream. If I had life over again I think I would give serious thought to living in France .
Another commenter suggested getting a puppy & young donkey together at the same time so they could grow up together & be best friends. Though I don't see a motorbike fitting in this mix.
What an amazing garden developed thru sheer hard work and a grand plan..a perfect place for inspiration..but also knowing what your expertise is..renovating chateaux to become also amazingly beautiful….combining both is like taking a slice of inspiration from those who gone before …spending a perfect day with your girls and their grandparents…happy days to all..🌲🌿🌞🌿🌲
I have just bought that hydrangea, it is called Vanilla Fraise and it is a paniculata hydrangea. It has done so well in its first year, it quite likes the sun. It grows on new growth, unlike a macrophylla hydrangea, so you can cut it back quite a bit.
Yess, reminder on, thumbs up clicked, comment dropped, share on social media, these are the ways we can support them to make more great videos, looking forward to days installment :D
Thank you for sharing your family outing! The garden you visited is beautiful! And it is relevant to you and your chateau, as you and it share the same soil and climate. Of course, you must bear in mind that it takes time for a garden to develop! The owner gave you the secret: a master plan. Your girls steal all the scenes they are in!!! As a grandfather myself, I cannot get enough of them. A lovely day, and I very much appreciated having the chance to share, however vicariously, in the pleasure of seeing the verdant countryside and the seashore. Be well, and please keep the charming videos coming!
I love Mom's response to Philip. No words, incredulous laugh, readable thought, "You've got to be kidding!?!" Such a beautiful garden and yes, Philip must have his donkey, LOL, but only if you get the girls a rideable chicken. 😁
Thank you, Philip and Anna, for your vlogs! Of all the chateau series I began subscribing to during Covid, yours is hands-down my favorite. As an avid gardener in Marietta, Georgia USA, this one, in particular, was so refreshing and inspirational that I immediately made notes of what to plant next season. We share all the same plants as you do! Isn’t that great? Thank you again!!
This must be one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen and most certainly made even more enchanting by the giggles and laughter of those two spirited "fairies" running around . Lovely to see you reunited with your parents. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
What a special treat. Thank you so much for taking us on this gorgeous garden tour. Please plant some of those breathtaking pink & white hydrangeas. They are stunning. Love Anna’s parents-so sweet. Enjoy the remainder of their visit. I can’t wait to see Phillip’ master plan. I’m sure it will be awesome. Have a wonderful week and thanks again!
My grandfather used to race horse and sulky like the one you met on the way to the garden. I remember seeing his silks he wore, the sulky and his trophy’s in the attic of the barn when I was little. The gardens were beautiful, thanks for taking us along. A donkey would keep the deer away from the trees and protect the property. Lol 🙋🏼
It is my favourite garden in Normandy; we visit it very often. An exquisite place, with so many transported and rebuilt classic Norman buildings, with so many original contents. . A work of amazing talent. And two grumpy donkeys to greet you!
This now has me longing for spring ❤ And I do hope that without the stress of preparing for guests you’ll have more time to spend on the chateau grounds this spring and summer. It will be lovely to see how you continue to develop them!
Phillipp deserves a château donkey to guard the garden from marauding deer and boar! You two are doing such a fantastic job with the renovation, I know you will make an incredible and magical garden as well. And it will be a good way to spend twenty years.
What a beautiful day as a family. The garden was fabulous, the hydrangea was unbelievable, simply gorgeous. Loved the beach scene, nothing more beautiful than hearing children’s laughter. ❤️❤️❤️
Poor Phillip....never did show us his new microphone, nor can he have a donkey! Well, that was a lovely video once again and great music. I loved the opening interview with Lily and Anna, your parents are lovely!
A Nutella episode nice your daughter’s have beautiful little personality’s ,you both have done a great job raising the girl’s . 👍🏼🥰👧🏼🥰👧🏼🥰👩🏼🥰🧑🏻oh Phillip hear you can have it all Lol🧑🏻🥰🐴🏍🐶
Beautiful gardens. It is a lot of garden for only 2 people to be tending too. Incredible people. That Hydrangea bush is breathtaking. I have never saw one that was this huge and full.. And Anna saying, "There is no Donkey Phillip." hahahaha.
Phillip needs a donkey! The garden was beautiful and I can see how you’d be totally inspired. Having your parents and girls along was a nice treat for us, viewers. I did not realize your home is so close the the sea. How great is that!
Thanks for encouraging us to re-watch! It's so lovely to see color in the middle of the winter. Its nearly time to start to plan the garden for the season.
What a delightful outing.....and fantastic hydrangeas! As a 77-year-old gardener, I picked up a few new French ideas! I so enjoyed the music with the beach scenes...was that you playing Phillip? Tell Emma's parents that we will miss them they leave....! I am having porrage for supper tonight!
That looks like it was a perfect day! A lovely garden for inspiration, a splendid locale for lunch, a romp on a sandy beach and great company. Lucky you!
Grand Family Outing!! Congrads because you show potential Vacationers to Your Chateau, what wonderful day trips they can make!! You all are very clever, I am amazed and pleased. Keep it up, like the little Family tension ploys, shame on You Philip!!
Now that is a beautiful place and why have I never met georgous like him such a beautiful French accent? I have complete faith in you Philip your garden can be just as beautiful because .....you have the intelligenc the taste and the charm as well as the talent. Beautiful family video so happy.
On your drive there, it almost reminded me of a drive through northern Michigan-until, of course, you reached that beautiful town. I can’t get over how much Anna looks like her Dad and Jenny has a great laugh! That garden was amazing, hydrangeas are my favorite. Thank you for sharing your lovely lifestyle with us!❤️❤️
What a beautiful family day with Anna’s parents! The gardens are spectacular and those hydrangeas were the prettiest I’ve ever seen! The girls are so darling and happy. I love your interest in creating beautiful gardens on your property. Your selection of music for your vlogs is enchanting as are the vlogs themselves. The photography of the scenery is beautiful! 💕
Who would of thought such HIGH quality content and film making would be on youtube. We are so lucky to have such wonderful videos from this channel.
Dry comedy AND chateaux AND gardens? Yes please!

Philip, you are such a sweet dad. Loved your interaction with the girls. Fun seeing Anna’s parents. Her dad makes me laugh.
Donkeys are easy to care for. I had a pet one when I was a little girl. Your daughters would love it and could take care of it.
You must buy the dog and donkey together as babies and let them grow up together as donkeys are very social and need buddies as much as dogs. With those two your wildlife invader issues would soon end with a little training.
Agree! And also create a pub in the longhouse called "The Dog and Donkey"! Voilá, a perfect life!
Sounds lovely, but if you then take the dog into the house at night the donkey will be braying for its friend all night and you won't get a wink of sleep. Better get two donkeys. Twice the fun, and not that much more work.
@@pernille2389 That would be great!...But tbh I think we are really travelling deep into "Not Happening" space now! 😂
@@alexsilva-vn7jc no , I think it'll be downloaded by Anna😃
@@pernille2389
Working dogs sleep in the barn. Ticks and fleas...Lyme is NOT fun. Get a house dog for cuddles that doesn't roam.
Philipp, your filmmaking is just so much better than other vlogs. The scripting, editing, the way you frame each shot and capture the girls, really beautiful.

But what about the boat? His dream boat? Maybe he decided he could get these three for cost of one boat ?😉
Beautiful day, beautiful gardens and extra beautiful daughters. Phillip, have a master plan as he suggested but just start, you would be amazed how quickly the time goes by. Your film skills matched the spirit of the gardens.
So nice of you

I think a pond would look stunning in your garden
Savor every moment. Time goes by so quickly.
An astoundingly beautiful countryside , and the garden is simply a dream. If I had life over again I think I would give serious thought to living in France .
I personally like the idea of the motor bike topped with the donkey then the dog , Phillip, you need one for sure
Thank you for your solidarity!
Anna favors her father in looks and mannerisms. ❤️ I can sense they are kindred spirits and very close.
Such a lovely & warm time with Anna’s parents.
Philip, if you get a donkey you must get two. They do not thrive as solitary pets.
Totally agree.
also great at pulling wee carts for kids to have fun with,
It is the same with Motorbikes. I believe a Ducati and a KTM would get on well.

thank you for the info on cutting it back as I have one an was too scared to prune it :)
Thanks for the info. I don't have one but boy do I want one😁👍🦘

Mine is in bloom now. It’s amazing. Low maintenance other than cutting it back.

Where I live, you need a lot of good fertilizer to get that kind of abundance.

Yes, people do get donkeys to protect their livestock and property
11:45 when the child sounds like she ends up in the pond!Super clever at editing!
I say “dog before donkey”. Lovely garden tour and talk with the owner.

Nothing better than nature and the gorgeous flowers ....makes you feel so close to Heaven 💫 beautiful place🥰💐
Something different to look forward to. This is why I enjoy following this vlog. Keep safe.
That was a very beautiful and inspiring vlog to watch, especially on a grey and chilly Monday in Ireland, thank you so much for sharing.
This now has me longing for spring ❤ And I do hope that without the stress of preparing for guests you’ll have more time to spend on the chateau grounds this spring and summer. It will be lovely to see how you continue to develop them!
Always a wonderful time!
You are funny, clever, good looking and cool 💙
Tx Phillipp 😉
Thank you Anders :)
The gardens are so beautiful!!! I love the drone footage of the beach. Thanks for sharing ...

Thank you for recommending this again. A peaceful way to end a Sunday evening.
A lot of love in this one 😊 the girls, nature, nature, nature...
This is like something out of a fairy tail so magical
I don't know about the dog and the donkey, but I could totally imagine a couple of pheasants roaming in the garden!
This might be the most beautiful vlog yet. Thank you.
Grandpa is funny and kids adorable.
This was a great episode. This one will garner you many subscribers. So good.
Hoping you get to 100K soon. Great channel.
What a wonderful family day out. Donkeys need company - so you would need at least two😂😂
Such a nice vlog. The garden was amazing and I loved the owners advice for discouraging weeds! I hope you have 100k subscribers soon.
Thank you so much!
Ella was so cute hopping on the chicken. It’s so much fun to plan a garden…all the possibilities. Look forward to seeing your design.
Poor Phillip....never did show us his new microphone, nor can he have a donkey! Well, that was a lovely video once again and great music. I loved the opening interview with Lily and Anna, your parents are lovely!
Thank you for sharing with us such lovely day.
I have visited these gardens, they truly are gorgeous! My husband is French and has an uncle living in Normandy near Honfleur. Such a beautiful place!
That garden is the stuff of dreams, and absolutely amazing that two people made and tend it.

Thank you for posting again. I hadn't seen this and it absolutely deserves more views. One of my favorites 💞
I always hate to see these videos come to an end. Guess I’ll just have to start it over☺️

What beautiful French gardens that was. Thank you for showing us the country side on the drive there as it was so scenic & beautiful too 💜
Merci de partager ces beaux paysages, c’est toujours un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos 👏👏👍💜😉
