The chateau looked lovely for the Patreon Day. Anna, you are incredible! tamp down boar holes, clean the chateau, off load a huge pile of garden debris, hook up and move the trailer, pick and arrange flowers all over the chateau and garden, take care of everyone and everything and still look beautiful for the Patreon Day. Well done! Phillip, you did okay too. Ha, ha!

Boars: "Let's help them by aerating the lawn!"...

This spring I have skunks “aerating” my lawn! We have had frequent rain storms this year so the lawn is easy for them to dig up for worms or grubs. They leave a mess but not as bad as those boars - poor Ana and Philip 😲

What a mess! Poor chateau! But you must admit, if they wanted to get attention, their timing was perfect! GRRRRR! Once Anna fixed it, it really looked okay! Good job! A beautiful meet-up experience! Happy for everyone! You worked so hard to make it happen.

OMG I love you Philip. You and your balls are so funny!

Ana I’m surprised you weren’t too exhausted to meet everyone after all that work. Great job both of you, everything looks so lovely!😀🌸

How lovely that your girls are helping, while Philip and the dog sit around! 😅

Philip you have such a funny sense of humor Anna You're a good hearted woman

An amazing vlog per usual. Anna is a true artist in all she does. Phillip is hysterical. Love watching all patrons coming together and it was nice meeting them. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

Anna. I admire you so much. Your hard work is inspiring to me.

In Germany we get healthy low fat (because they are so active) boar sausages from France - maybe you can start a new business besides the candles 🐗= 🥩🍷

In Siena, Italy, there is a shop that sells boar meat that has been especially prepared over months to taste not so gamey. Wild boar is a delicacy? It looks like you all had a lot of fun meeting each other. (I'm impressed with Philipp's directorial skills. He seems to get the best out of everyone, including children and dogs.)

Such a fun day! Everyone seemed to enjoy the day. Anna, you area dynamo and so talented . Phillip, you are hilarious. ❤

That was so great to see how much the patrons admire and love your home and family unit. It just shows what an amazing couple you guys are, well done.

Glad you had a nice gathering. It was nice to see some of your patrons.

Philip is manscaping!!!! ❤❤❤❤. He has lots of balls 😂😂😂😂

Great Content. The Best Edit. So enjoyable. Amusing and thoughtful. Continued Success to you, and your family.

Anna & Phillip here in SW i.e. Texas we too have wild boar issues. They mess w/ grounds & the cattle are hurt by falling in holes that are left from looking for food. Here the boars look for grubs b4 turning into insects try kill them b4 that stage w/ dishwater soap Dawn & water breaks up the pods left b4 they mature & hatch into insects. Wonderful seeing all your patrons!

Congratulations on a successful Patron Meet-Up. The thoughtfulness you bring to your Vlog is evident in the continued and growing interest of your viewers. Blessings for many more events in future!

You two are so funny, but accurate in your portrayal of who does what in any household.

What a lovely day and meet and greet ❤ I am sure they all just treasured the live tours and meeting you guys in person.

What fun it must've been?? Guys, you've created a truly beautiful space, a work of art but a home most importantly, with all its comforts, warmth and charm. When a few arrangements of fresh cut flowers from the garden are placed here and there is all it takes to elevate your space to a showpiece, you know that what you've created is harmonious, visually pleasing and something to truly be proud of! Excellent work and thanks for sharing!

Lovely event 🎉❤🎉 Happy Father’s Day 🎉

Wow, you guys must want to shoot those boar. Seeing your patrons and hearing them speak brought tears to my eyes because of the community you have created just by sharing who you are with the world. It's the most amazing thing about the internet. So many lives you have touched Philipp and Anna, I sure hope you know what an amazing legacy you are creating. So much love to you 🥰🥰

It's easy to see why Anna keeps her very trim figure (even with two kids) when she's always doing "the hard lifting!". I think the tempo of the music does truthfully match the intensity of Anna's work load!:) Anna, you should have made Phillip clean the backyard mess, since he forgot to keep the electric fence free of debris!

I think so too!

Ah you two - you so motivate me . I had never considered until tonight that Philip was an influencer in wastepipes - what a huge step from that to sail-boating! Proud to be watching such important life influences! Well done Anna x

Now I know where the song "Roll Out the Barrell" came from.😄

lol love the difference in the efforts between you two. That was funny.

Philipps explanation of the term sailboating actually makes a lot of sense!!! And it made me giggle. 😂That's what I love about your channel: the combination of beautiful design and humour! Well done!

Ana so sorry about the boars, you did a remarkable job of fixing everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Philip 😂😂😂😂😂❤️

You did it again Phillip...you managed to get our questionable minds going with the "balls" reference. I have to add, they are nice! I love the fact you brought all your patreons together. Well done!

HAPPY FOR YOU: I’m so pleased you guys had a special day with friends and many thanks for taking the rest of us along for the ride. It looked very fun and you two seemed very happy. I’m glad you did it! I’ve been watching from the US for 2 years and even though I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - your Chateau is my favorite on KZread!! Your style is closest to my own and I love watching each of your projects…..they both inspire me and give me hope for my own simultaneous renovations. Best Wishes - Carry On

How wonderful to host a lovely Patron meetup. You made it special for them and us watching this on YT. The girls did an amazing job helping with sanding and flowers and cleanup. So sweet. Thanks for sharing.

I am impressed with the ad for square space. Here the whole time I thought you edited to make it look that way just for fun. Who knew it was done for the advertisement first silliness second. Touché. Well done.

Better to think about a composter soon as possible. 🤗 Great job there again you are ready. Do not worry too much 🙌🏻❤😊

We love a bit of drama.

Definitely Philipp, this time the girls did more work 😄 Maybe sailboating is more your thing than topiary 🤣 Lovely patreons, glad you had good weather for the event ☀

"WOW I wish I could have been there" Philip "Happy Father's Day " from Beaverton Oregon USA.

The girls have grow up so much. It was nice to see them. It looked like everyone had a lovely time

What a wonderful idea to host a special Patron day. Many thanks for sharing this video with everyone. Wonderful to see so many of your patreon community travelling far and wide to be there. Anna and Philipp, you really have made such an important contribution to enhancing the lives of so many followers. Through your amazing channel, I’m sure people have, and will, make life long friends with ‘like minded’ people all over the world. It was so delightful to see beautiful Ella helping Mumma with flower arranging. Great job Ella ❤ Ziggy of course is as cute as ever. Philipp’s clever editing, choice of music and sprinkles of comedy satisfied my laughter fix for the day. Philipp, you really are a hero in my eyes, because you are so willing and humbly prepared to take ‘flax’ for appearing to let Anna do most of the work, (for the benefit of our giggles) when in fact, you both work very hard as a team. I love that Philipp is also now a ‘sail boat’ and a ‘waste pipe’ influencer. Wishing you another great week, Mary from 🌴 😎 tropical Central East Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

No wonder you got a beautiful family it starts with happy healthy balls. Those are well cared for 😂. Although you two looked tired the meet and greet looked like it was a wonderful time.

You are definitely loved by your viewers and your patrons. Such a joy to watch and to listen every week :). Merci :)

How beautiful to share the joy of watching your videos with these nice people!

Anna is so talented, the bouquets you made were so beautiful!

Now I understand, my step dad was a sailboater. We rarely went sailing, too windy, not enough wind, too hot, too cold, but he loved to fix up those boats.

What a great episode and party! Thank you for sharing! Love your channel

as always, in great editing fashion - loved the variety of music with the indoor/outdoor work...thank you

A lovely meeting of like minds. Chateau lovers.👋👋⭐️⭐️

What a lovely group of people. And even from Hungary! Talpra Magyarok!

What lovely comments about your chateau!! ☀️

It appears a good time was had by all, good job.

I am consistently impressed😂 by both of you, but humor that actually strikes one as amusing it’s difficult to find, and the fact that you deliver it in your second or third language is amazing to me

Seeing your patrons made me quite happy and had a tear in my eye too 😍 So lovely and what a happy day for you! All the best from Denmark ❤️

It was fun to meet your patrons too! The couple from Hungary was awesome. Amazing that so many came from near and far. Gorgeous weather too! A triumph for all.

philip your one liners one thing for sure life's never (boring ) 😂

That was really cool showing the patreon event! Those naughty boars!!!

Always important for community get togethers

So sweet!

Wow, that’s amazing. Congratulations to you and your family for having such a wonderful patrons.

Anna is a beast. In a good way. She has the skill and determination to get the tasks done and done right.

Love seeing the girls jumping in to help and learn some skills!

I'll be chuckling to myself all day now......Phillip's humour, brilliant!

HHAhahaha. Philip! Your super chill music when you’re gardening…and then the HECTIC Vivaldi 4 seasons for Anna’s work😂

I'm sure nobody will mind, it's lovely that you get to share your beautiful garden with the wild life of Normandy as well as your lovely patrons!

Lovely, everything looked so warm and welcoming. All your special touches that highlight your beautiful chateau.

Pro tip on emptying that trailer- put a tarp down on the bottom before you pile it up, then drop that little tailgate and tug it all out with the tarp in one go. It doesn't work every time (sometimes it's too heavy or the tarp pulls out without the whole load), but well enough to be worth trying.

I was so sure that today's sponsor was going to be a Manscaping company after Philip's references to his gardening!

Wow what a wonderful way to thank your Paterons

Roflssss the musical contrast between the two of you are just funny.

That moment with the baby girl killed me 😂 such a cutie ❤️ love her

Are you making compost with the yard waste? It can take all of the leaves, grass clippings, non-meat kitchen scraps, etc, and convert it all to fertilizer, mulch, and potting soil. After you get into the routine, you'll wonder how you did without it. And, you'll be recycling, which is always high style.

You guys have lovely and charming patrons.

Wow, such a great idea hosting patrons 🥰

Well done both of you.

I'm already exhausted by watching your video!!! You both work so hard, especially you, Anna😊! I think if I was 40 years younger I could keep up with you!

Omg Phllip...your humor and the hilarious editing! I watch your videos while drinking my morning coffee, makes me crack up and puts me in a good mood everytime!

Wonderful watching your meeting with your Patreons. What a lovely little community across borders ❤ I believe we met John and Jane Baker from south of Cambridge 2 years ago in May when we stayed at your B&B. Lovely people. Nice seeing them again here in your vlog 😃❤

What a beautiful patron day! The weather really cooperated to compliment all your hard work in and out of the Chateau.

Your music choices made me smile.

Its impressive!the amount of labor you two accomplish 💪🏼👏🏼

So Phillip, life goes on with speed and effect ,while you play with your balls lol, Thankyou for making me smile .🤗
