Don’t forget to remind Billy of the leak in the attic from the rain !

Billy's not happy? Couldn't have been further from it, always so gracious and grateful for all the help and company he has. Everyone did a phenomenal job keeping up the channel and adding a flair of fun and exploration of the grounds many of us perhaps hadn't seen before. I really enjoyed the 'ghost hunt' portion, hopefully you can organize another on the dates of known deaths in the convent and another closer to halloween? And I also really enjoyed exploring the gardens and mapping those out. Cheers everyone!

Well Billy, you can now understand why we love the show!

Welcome back, Billy. Hope you all had a great holiday. Thanks to all the guys who kept the channel going while you were gone.

That transition where you both ducked behind the truck at the chateau and popped up at the convent really made me laugh. Wonderful bit of editing

Oh! Poor Ryan! He worked SO hard to get off all that blasted wallpaper, he held out his hand to the wall and Billy didn’t even take note. It’s ok Ryan, we know exactly how hard you worked and Billy is a take-charge, what’s next kinda guy so no harm! Welcome back Billy and crack on!! Can’t wait to see how the convent continues to take shape.

Not happy? He seems happy enough to me 😸

Welcome back, Billy (and Gwen, Ernest & Archie). Glad you had a relaxing holiday. Loving the new camera - now it looks like the BBC are following you around 😀. You all definitely ‘cracked on’ today. The rustic ramp (as it will always be named) finishes off the entrance beautifully. Just imagine when the new doors are fitted.

Welcome back Billy!

Billy something came to my mind the other day when looking the chapel. You remember that painting of Mother and Child you bought . Well I noticed in the chapel on the wall opposite to where the alter would have been, you have a reset. I think maybe it would be a nice place for this painting. Hope you read my suggestion

I was out today and saw a guy with a “Crack On” cap on ! Great to see you back Billy, missed ya but they others have been brilliant

Love the rustic modernization. I think that's the right way to go

The subtitle I never saw where Billy was not happy now watching to see if I missed something 😂

Cutaway (not sure if that's what it's called) from chateau to convent was slick! Definitely notice a difference in camera/video quality - nice upgrade. Welcome back Billy!

Welcome home Billy. Your team has done a great job

The video quality did ramp up a bit today. The new camera highlights Alex's fine ability.

Welcome back Billy! You are quite clearly in charge of your domain and your projects. Everyone did an outstanding job in your absence but I'm sure they are happy to have you back in charge!

I am a patreon at la lande. I was raised in a convent from almost 5 til 16 while living in England. Moved to usa in 1974. Plainly the life there in the convent was terrifying. St Patrick's England I believe it was burnt. Good job

Beautiful wrought iron. tsk tsk, some people... It was wrapped in plastic. How could anyone assume what/ where they came from. One of my favourite things about France is the stunning wrought iron and your choice is absolutely lovely. oh and welcome back, please keep all the old orchard trees . It just need a tidy up, and some fert. a bit of pruning and see how to update the paths around it. It doesn't have to be straight lines

I see a difference! Welcome back Billy.

Billy, you should have more than one water point in the courtyard. When you place the sink in the kitchen, have it near a courtyard wall to drill through the wall to fit tap on the exterior. When eventually restoring the garden, have multi water points in the garden roughly every 15 to 20m.

OK. So, now Alex has to carry two cameras ... the large one for most shots, and the small one for handing to Billy when he's sticking his head somewhere sketchy. And because the camera is bigger, the next purchase will be a Camera Stabilizer (couple of hundred), and after that a proper Steadicam and vest (couple of thousand). And then alex will look like a proper cyborg doing his work. ;) And billy will question why he ever moved on from the handheld format. ;)

Billy you look amazing! You need a holiday more often. We enjoyed everyone too. It was fun.

Be happy, Billy, the grass was even mowed just for you!! Plus, Ryan even left one flower stock un-mowed for you. It's sometimes hard to come back from a vacation and go back to work; at least that's my experience. :)

I am surprised they didn't line up for inspection when Billy showed up!

This is the brightest part of my day. When my boys were growing up ours was the house that all the kids came to. Having Billy and the gang is like having some of my boys stop by for a quick visit each day. Everyone smash the thumbs up. Smiles to all.
