I love that Michael giggled when he said “Hello everyone”. His smile and laugh are heartwarming.

🐝 busy bees, doing the chores, wrangling the animals, and a little concert to cap it off. Always a treat to watch!

Every male in this family is like a clone of each other. I seriously have never seen anything like it! Grandad has some amazingly strong genes, my goodness.

Michael- you’re a real renaissance man...just love seeing all the lovely sides of your personality! From chicken coop to the dump and then from garden to piano - you’ve created an idyllic life for yourself and I just love watching you and your family. Thank you for sharing with us all :)

Michael, I'm a chicken lover myself and here is a tip for you: when it is getting warmer the chickens might get problems with red mite attacking them at night. I think these creatures are called that way in English, in Dutch it is 'bloedluis'. If they get attacked a lot the chickens get ill. To prevent this you could use some poisonous stuff, but a much healthier option is to use raw lin seed oil on all the wooden parts of the coop. The red mite will die in the oil. You have to repeat it a few times during the summer, because the wood absorbs the oil. I have never used poison and since we have chickens always used raw lin seed oil and no problems with these nasty little buggers! And happy chickens!

This is a very wholesome and optimistic episode. It was great to hear you talking to Millie and she understood just what you were telling her. She knew she was being a naughty dog ! Your very wise dad brings so much experience to every task. It must be wonderful to have a close, multigenerational family working together and terrific to share it with so many viewers. That hammer hurt. We could see the site when you were leaning out the chicken coup doorway. Expect a bruise.

One of my favorite videos! I love that Gwen and Ernest were in it. And I loved seeing Papa Petherick with Ernest talking to the chickens. 💖💖💖💖

Lovely to see Ernest with his Grandad so cute 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔❤️

I could literally watch 30 minutes of you playing the piano. 😍

That was just the best, you crazy kids...I can honestly say I smiled all the way through this video, the concert was a bonus...now for tea...!

Looks like Michael's got his mojo back.loved the episode .

Your dad is a gem. Reminds me of growing up on my farm and helping my dad over 60 yr ago. Treasure these moments! ‘Someday my prince will come...’ Haven’t heard that Disney tune for years!

Michael’s in love! How wonderful

I'm pretty sure Michael can do just about anything.😊

I just want to say how much joy I feel when I see how far you've gone, especially with the beautiful cottage, it makes my heart happy when I see how much it has evolved over this year! It's so incredible to watch your journey! ❤️ Much love from Slovakia ❤️❤️❤️

So glad to have you back filming videos Michael. It’s a joy to watch you and your family!

Chickens are great to have around. Ours have stopped laying double-yolkers now, but we used to get one almost every day when they first started. Please wear a mask when cleaning the coop, or a bandana or something... Bacteria, even in dried chicken dung, can cause serious lung disease, and dried dung powder gets airborne really easily to be inhaled. Ernest's "pok pok pok" made me smile. I don't understand how you've done the seeds - What liquid have you added? We take ours and sort-of smear them across a paper towel, straight from the tomato. The smearing breaks most of the gel-coating and the paper towel dries them quickly. We let them dry flat, then just roll them up and tuck them away... They stay stuck to the paper towel. When it's planting time, we peel them off or just tear the towel to bits and plant it with them. Fast, easy, and has worked well here.

I can barely believe that I was gifted on Christmas Day, 2023, with you playing my favorite work by Beethoven a few years ago... Noel.

How do your things get thrown into the trash? You were good natured about it. Loved knowing about the pond! where a bomb went off, and seeing the adorable naughty dog rounded up. Chickens and working with your Dad, tomato seeds, and piano . Wonderful variety!

Oh Michael you are the cutest thing sitting at the piano playing for us. I just love you. This was a fun video chickens and all. I really enjoyed it .

Honestly, is there anything better than seeing two men shopping and then serenading the camera with beautiful piano music??

Terriers are like the rats they love to hunt, by design...can fit through tiniest of spaces. That part of Peter Rabbit was my son's (now 38) favorite: "and skeezed under the gate!"

I remember when we had chickens on our allotment and my daughter who was 3 years old then went up to the chickens and said “ chicken lay me an egg for my tea please “.... the chicken clucked and squatted down and plopped an egg right into her hand 😵😵. We were amazed and couldn’t believe what had happened. Of course she thought that was all she had to do every time she wanted an egg. Sadly it never happened again but we did have several double Yolkers. You can bear your own fresh eggs especially free range ones.

I'll have a cup of tea, the solving of all our problems... hahahaha

Our fence for the chickens is six feet tall so they can’t fly over, and we laid wire on the ground then chicken wire on top, so things can’t burrow in like civet cats and raccoons. Last we put in fake eggs ( marked “fake”) in the nesting boxes. When one of the fake eggs is missing, we know we have a snake.

Someday, indeed! And said Prince is going to be quite lucky to find someone so handy, creative, and sensitive. Great video, Michael. 🤗

Love how gently you handled your chickens. No doubt they will live a happy life in their coop and garden. Sunshine, bugs and hopefully Mr Fox will stay away.

I miss your old videos with the kids, chickens, hunting the dogs. They are so charming and and everyday things.add to the list Mick and Sherry.

You should be made to practice every night - so beautiful. I can only imagine sitting there with a glass of wine listing to music throughout the Chateau. What a dream!

Oh wow Michael thank you so much for playing that beautiful tune on the piano. It reminded me of coming home from school back in the 70's and hearing / listening to my late mum play that tune, I wish I could remember what it was called.

When we were little boys in Ohio and spending time at our grandmother's house, our mother would send my brother and me out to the chicken coop to fetch fresh eggs. Until this video, that memory had not entered my head in decades but I can see upon reflection just how rich those memories still are and how lucky we were. Here we see another little boy who will have fortunate memories. And his Uncle Michael will also provide many of them. Is there anything this guy cannot do, and always with a smile on his face?

I could listen to Michael play all day. Beautiful!

🇨🇦❤️Oh Michael! You have brought me so much joy today! My parents always kept chickens and pheasants, (chickens for eggs and pheasants to eat), so it was lovely to see and hear your new feathered friends. I hope you can put a comparison on video between store purchased eggs and “real” eggs as my father called them. Yolks of real eggs are high and bright orange whereas the ones from stores are flat and pale yellow. The flavour is so much better as well, as you know. It was so lucky that you went to the rubbish tip with the family and discovered the items that would have been lost. The footage of your Dad and Ernest looking in at the chickens is beyond wonderful. (I’ve subscribed to Seans channel as well, naturally. Thank you for the link). Thanks for the information about the heirloom tomato seeds. I will definitely take advantage of that and grow some delicious tomatoes of my own. Finally, the impromptu piano concert made my heart soar. I wish you could have seen me smiling. I just couldn’t stop. I know that if Miss Potter had ever met you, she would have become your dear friend. 🐇
