Dan shot video and included it in his vlog even when he worked and cooked for Stephanie. I really liked seeing the same day footage from both perspectives. When you film at the chateau, you get footage of the dogs and capture the jokes, discussions, teasing, screwups. Nick is all mentor and business with Dan, but the two of you have a much different vibe, and it’s fun to watch. Most of us watch Dans vlogs, so seeing the same event from different views is fun - a little behind the scene action. Plus, you can capture all of the bloopers!
It's nice to hear that. You enjoy talking to us. Because I certainly enjoy sitting here and feeling like you and I are having a cup of coffee together and talking about your day. I'm sure everyone that watches feels that way. So thank you very much for your videos.I really really enjoy them.
In such a short time our Brian has made so many friends, we all log in to have a chat with him. I know he can't hear me but I chat back to him. regards from number 19
No apologies needed, love you yammering at us, taking us out for our coffee and showing love to them pups. All very enjoyable I would say, so back at you, THANKS!
Brian, I’m glad you enjoy editing. I hope you continue to do so. I particularly like the way you weave the background music in and out. You get an instant ‘like’ from me whenever I hear that laid back jazz at the start.
Brian, no apologies needed! January 9 in the Western Hemisphere is the day when we begin seeing/experiencing more day light! The days from now on are longer! Glory Hallelujah! Good to see you safe and well! Love seeing the dogs! Lottie is so big now! Thank you! Vlog 100 is coming up! Wow with 45 folks!
BRIAN: I SO ENJOY LISTENING TO YOUR MILD RANTS...WATCHING YOUR ADVENTURES AND YOUR INTERACTION WITH YOUR CO-WORKERS...AND MOST OF THE TIME YOUR JOKES!!! THANK YOU...RICK IN CANADA
Brian, I love our chats…or rather your chat. A little bit of chateau, a little bit of doggies, a little bit of coffee and projects and fun on the weekend. Perfect. Keep it up. You are a charming friend I love spending time with and forgetting about this cold, snowy weather.
I truly enjoyed the intro music. Also your smile and good cheer brought me levity on an otherwise somber day today [9/1/2025] as North America lays to rest a good President RIP Jimmy Carter. Thanks so much Brian. :)
Brian, it feels like visiting with an old friend whenever I watch your vlog. It's funny and kind of peaceful. We love it whenever you can make one. Thank you!
I watch these videos and think that you are such a nice bloke. Can we clone you? Wishing you continued success with your channel and thank you for sharing daily Brian with us, it is such fun! Take care xx
These vlogs are a form of escapism for me from all the hullabaloo going on back home 🍁and around the World. Brian, you're a genuinely pleasant human who seems to enjoy the simple things in life. The tone is stress free & relaxing, your smile is infectious. Carry on when you can, we'll keep checking up on you :)
I can tell you Brian, I love talking and listening to you as well. It’s like having a friend to have coffee with lol. Please never feel you have to do things just so you have content for a vlog. Just be you 🤗
Brian, thank you so much for your vlog, I really needed the distraction. I am envious of your rain in France or anywhere actually. I live in Los Angeles and our community has been under siege with fires. My beautiful town looks like a war zone or photos from the blitz. Your vlog was a beautiful escape. Merci!
So very sorry to hear that. We are following on the news. We used to live in the San Bernardino Mountains and had our fair share of destruction to endure as well. We moved to Alabama for our retirement to get away from fire danger as it's supposed to rain a lot here. Not anymore though. 😢 Can't believe how bad it is in LA. No words can describe this inferno. From Alabama all the best and be safe. ❤❤
Thank you for dropping by and leaving me with a smile. As we are in midst of drab hibernation that other species sleep off you remain a loyal purveyor of human warmth.🌹🍀
You appreciate the comments… be in no doubt that we who love your vlogs appreciate your vlogs… did I say we appreciate your vlogs? A friend once called me the most wisdomous person he knew, but that was before he knew you.
I love the interactions between you and Dan's dogs. It's so sweet the way they try to kiss you while you're trying to put your boots on. Also, and really enjoy your wiggly piggly vlogs.
Bri you're so lovely🥹 honestly you're the most thankful chap on YT....i watch a few channels and some never utter the words 'thank you'... means allot and doesn't cost allot..so thank you for thanking us 😊 have a wonderful Friday 👌
Good morning Brian. I really enjoy your casual approach to making the vlogs. It makes me feel like I'm having a nice morning coffee with a friend. Please keep them coming when you can. 😀👍
Don't change a thing!! I love the higilty pigilty way you do your vlogs also when you film at Dans you get different angles and we get to hear your jokes and Nicks reactions (which I have missed) Happy New Year Brian.
Loved "not the age but the mileage." So true. You do realize that she is your puppy, Brian. I'm sure she would think it's grand to go tripping with you on the weekend.
Hello Brian from sunny Central America. 🌞🌴 No appologizes required, it’s a pleasure watching your vlogs higgledy-piggledy or not. No worries. Love your little girl when she greets you and won’t let you tie up your work boots, she loves you so much.
Well, for my two cents worth.. love your content! I love your vibe. So relaxing and also interesting. I like seeing France through your adventures. Keep doing what you're doing! ❤❤❤
An informal chat and some cool music, what more could anyone wants. It's like an old friend phoning you up just to say hi there. ( note to self, must phone my school friend up to morrow have known her for over 60 years) A trip to Germany with Brian, now that's something to look forward to. Cheers from number 19, in a very cold England.
Loved watching you fighting to get your boots on with the welcoming committee trying to help you! Watching you chatting to the doggos (and them chatting back) is one of the things I like best about your vlogs, Brian. Did you find the neighbour's cat?
🇨🇦 Greetings from Canada Brian! We are enjoying your vibe and sense of humor. Loved the cycling segment on the last vlog. Thanks for sharing. Cindy and Paul from Ottawa, Ontario.
Lots of us enjoy listening to you Brian. I look forward to every vlog that you make whatever the content, also love the banter between you Dan and Nick ❤
Hello Irish!❤🍀You get to talk to us, and tell us about what is going on in your head and what your plans are. We are your Vlog Psychiatrists, but we don't analyze you. Well, at least I don't. I just love hearing your brogue accent, visiting the villages you go to, and drinking coffee or Guinness beer with you. See you in the next session.☕❤
Hi Brian, hard work in cold weather is exhausting. Add to that short days and the seasonal need to warm up, eat well and rest soundly that make everything else truly secondary and a friendly chat over coffee all the more appreciated. So thank you much for today's vlog and even more for the valiant search for the neighbor's cat. Higglely pigglely is perfectly understandle.
Your blogs are always nice - relaxing. Funny and interesting, too. Just keep being the spontaneous, down-to-earth person you are. It’s refreshing. One feels you are genuine and unaffected. It’s nice.
Do what you enjoy, don't feel committed to any timeframe or any content 'rules', when you want to share we want to view. Your life, your channel, your choice. ❤😊
The rain will be doing the gardens at the Château the world of good. Your blogs are great, I love the way you relate to people. Love your narration on your trips especially when touring the countryside.
Like to talk that's the Irish in you like my husband born in Canada he thought he was mostly Welsh turns out no Welsh just Irish and his mom French Canadian so he loved conversation ! Miss him a lot your humor is very enjoyable and reminds me of Joe and makes me giggle which is a good thing when live alone so Thank you for that ! 😀😍
Love chatting with you. I totally agree and understand about getting home from work and just cozying up for the night. Hope you don’t feel pressured to post something every day. You need to do what works for you, viewers need to understand. I enjoy watching whatever and whenever you post
Brian, I just love your vlob. You are a total ray of sunshine. Please keep posting even when you don't think it will be interesting. You are always interesting to us. Cheers.
How nice that you enjoy talking to us. Perhaps we should all introduce ourselves, so you know who you're talking to! I'm Wendy, and love to watch renovation/travel videos, enjoy making ceramics and baking, and also have a lovely Spanish mastiff called Heidi. Hello to fellow Brian subscribers x
Hi 👋 I’m Gaelene I live in New Zealand I paint and revamp /up cycle one off pieces of furniture as a job in my own shop .. (5 years) I watch a ton of vlogs on revolutions of French château’s but am hooked on Dans and his team of merry men … but Brian’s is captivating you feel like your there and he’s family ❤😊
Thank you so much for your vlogs. I really enjoy your excursions. It has been my dream to retire in France and watching your daily life reinforces my resolve to do so. Oh, love the jokes and your sense of humor! Keep them coming and stay safe (especially at the chateau).
First of all, I totally relate to being middle-aged and weather-beaten. Secondly, your channel is my favorite. I feel like I'm catching up with a good friend when I watch. Lastly, I love your relationship with the dogs. Both of ours are gone now (rescues that lived to age 14 and 15), and we aren't getting any more (for now), but that's exactly the relationship I had with them. I loved them dearly, but they were always "up in my grill" being pains in the ass! 😂
Loved your filming aproaching the Chateau today always thought the site was top of a hill not on full view from the road suppose its the way to neighbours the old gardeners cottage and further on ,wall on the one side and woods to open country.
I agree with the TGIF sentiment. Hope the cat was found. Love the rainbow as you were driving in to Chaumont. Looking forward to enjoying what you get up to this weekend.
I’ve had to be out after work 3 times this week, and all I’ve wanted to do is be home. It’s bitter cold here in up state New York. I have karate class twice a week and it’s so hard to go out in the cold , once you’ve gotten home. But, I do and now I’m off for 3 days! Good to see you!
Dan shot video and included it in his vlog even when he worked and cooked for Stephanie. I really liked seeing the same day footage from both perspectives.

Hi Brian, 😂 husband and I like your jokes a lot, but maybe you could include the jokes on your vlog as well.
Love your chats brian .ove seeing with the dogs they do love you from down under
No more apologizing for your videos. We enjoy them as is! ❤🇨🇦
It’s an Irish thing
❤
Like she said 🇮🇹🇨🇦. From south Italy……!
@@pamlister452Also a Canadian thing 🇨🇦
100%

Thank you for feeling that his cat is important Brian. 🐈⬛
No sweat. Vlog, no vlog, we're cool with it. Whenever it suits you and you're ready for a chat. Stay safe. 👍
I truly enjoy the higilty pigilty way you put your VLOGs together!! Don't change a thing!!
Aren't dogs wonderful? Always happy to see you no matter what.
Yes they are. Their unconditional love and happiness to see you and be with you is the very best thing.
Definitely a bit of Staffie in the pup. 😊
OK Brian, that's a deal, you talk, we listen.
Amd it's very much appreciated!
I talk back to him, don't you?
@@millywood6801 Is there another way to do it?
@@millywood6801 yes, I definitely do as well. I also have a coffee when I’m watching.😊
Brian, I’m glad you enjoy editing. I hope you continue to do so. I particularly like the way you weave the background music in and out. You get an instant ‘like’ from me whenever I hear that laid back jazz at the start.
That the dogs love you so much says a lot about you because dogs are great judges of character. It's really cute to see.
A chat and a coffee is perfect 👌
Us 45 people enjoy the randomness and stream of conciousness 😊
Lottie is adorable as well ❤
And the music selections, too. "Wiggles" is a cutie pie, Brian. I was surprised you didn't take her home with you when she was a little pup.
So glad I’m one of the 45!
Me too,
Brian, no apologies needed! January 9 in the Western Hemisphere is the day when we begin seeing/experiencing more day light! The days from now on are longer! Glory Hallelujah! Good to see you safe and well! Love seeing the dogs! Lottie is so big now! Thank you! Vlog 100 is coming up! Wow with 45 folks!

Be safe! ❤️
Thank you! ❤
Hi Marie - I’m in Northern California and sending you thoughts and prayers. I can’t believe the devastation over these two days. ❤️🩹
My thoughts are with you, do what you need to to keep yourself safe ❤
So very sorry to hear that. We are following on the news. We used to live in the San Bernardino Mountains and had our fair share of destruction to endure as well. We moved to Alabama for our retirement to get away from fire danger as it's supposed to rain a lot here. Not anymore though. 😢 Can't believe how bad it is in LA. No words can describe this inferno.

You just chat, and we’ll just watch. Perfect.
Love your philosophy.... “ see what the day brings”. Love it and your vlogs. ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
Enjoy seeing the rural parts of 🇫🇷 France through your eyes! Stay happy and free!
Love the chatty vlogs Brian whatever suits you best we’ll be watching.
We love both your action vlogs and your chatty ones, carry on the way that suits you, we’ll be there! 😊
I love when you chat at us too. Thanks for the videos!
Always love the chat and all that you share.
Hope you found the cat.👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
That little dog love's you. We enjoy our chats and seeing what is happening in your life 😊
Fun dog fact: Elsa is Lottie‘s mother. Anna is Elsa’s sister. So that would make Anna Lottie’s auntie.😉 Love you Brian.🥰
Thank you for dropping by and leaving me with a smile. As we are in midst of drab hibernation that other species sleep off you remain a loyal purveyor of human warmth.🌹🍀

Love the quote too. Just in case you didn’t know, it’s from Indiana Jones.
The cinematography is great. Don't fret about the content. It's natural it varies between just stuff and excitement.

Got a joke for you Brian that Nick will just LOVE - What should you do if you are addicted to seaweed? Sea Kelp.
That’s very good!

Loved your filming aproaching the Chateau today always thought the site was top of a hill not on full view from the road suppose its the way to neighbours the old gardeners cottage and further on ,wall on the one side and woods to open country.
7:52 So love the chats, thank you Brian for taking the time.
I agree with the TGIF sentiment. Hope the cat was found. Love the rainbow as you were driving in to Chaumont. Looking forward to enjoying what you get up to this weekend.
Kia ora from New Zealand.
Thank you for helping your neighbor. I hope you found the cat. I'm going to borrow from another viewer-loved the higgledee piggledy ness
No apologies needed, just do what you do. We all enjoy it.
I’ve had to be out after work 3 times this week, and all I’ve wanted to do is be home. It’s bitter cold here in up state New York. I have karate class twice a week and it’s so hard to go out in the cold , once you’ve gotten home. But, I do and now I’m off for 3 days! Good to see you!
I dont mind higgledy piggledy Brian 👋🤗🇬🇧
♥️👍
“… it’s the mileage.” Truer words were never spoken.
The blogs are great. Your accent is fabulous.
Amazing how big those dogs have grown.wow
Sure the Irish love a good chat. Have a great weekend. ☺️
No apologies needed. Vlog as you're able, the chats, the coffee, sharing scenery on your drives and puppy kisses are all worth the wait.
