About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

    Those are pollard willows, very common trees. They were originally grown to provide rods for weaving wicker baskets. They need to be pruned every winter, so the basket maker would always have thin material for their work. Since these old chateaux always had to be self supporting, there was always a farm, vegetable gardens and livestock attached (and even orangeries for more luxurious fruits). And every kind of baskets were always in need, so I think they kept them to provide travelling basket makers with material when they came by annually to work for a few weeks on the estate. By the way, Ash and Terry, what happened to the missing part of the iron fence at the edge of the barn?

    Just 2 things to remember when pollarding...1.) follow the rule of thirds for old trees that have never been pollarded before. One third the first year and the remaining the following year. 2.) always do it when the tree is dormant to prevent shock to the tree...always in the winter season in other words. :)

    Those look like whomping willows. Terry, did you bring these back from Hogwarts? 🧙🪄✨ There bizarre looking, I absolutely love them. You look like your standing inside a giant nest. Great job pruning back. Very healthy for the trees, as they’re dormant. They’ll burst to life even better now. My husband really appreciates you taking care of your equipment. It’s so ingrained for us after 35 yrs of doing landscaping. It’s great seeing homeowners doing the same. Great job all around! (Thought I was on OF for a second) 🤣🤣🛁🫧🥂🍾 Yous are great fun I can tell, and you definitely like being cheeky once in awhile. Thanks for the vlog.

    Pollarding makes overwhelming sense. Tree isn't harmed as it's dormant, it limits overall growth and you get loads of useful kindling: whats not to like?

    We see these knots or cankers on trees which have been affected by canker disease or improper pruning and failure to put pruning paint on open cuts freshly pruned. There is a spray you can use to treat the disease. I use spray paint to seal the fresh pruned areas. These cankers build up over time and eventually cut off critical sap circulation required to produce new healthy growth.

    I absolutely adore this family, But having a difficult time watching the devastation of these trees. Better to remove them entirely-especially if they are destroying the wall, and begin again. Once treated in this way, it takes a good deal of work to bring the tree back to a good shape. They will always look like something from The Hobbit. Remove and replant something that isn’t so time consuming for you to keep up, doesn’t damage your wall and is pleasing to the eye. Again, love you all and applaud all of the hard/wonderful work you have done.

    Well, you would never, ever top a live oak! The tree would never look the same and it would eventually kill it. We don't destroy a 200 year old majestic tree, we replace the sidewalks, sewer lines, fences, etc, instead. We call them heritage trees, in many cities these trees must be saved and you would be heavily fined if it were cut down to build something over it....the tree must be incorporated into the landscape plan, or moved.

I grew up in the Gulf Coast , while some trees to succumb to storms, there are plenty of 200-300 yr old live oaks. Right now , ( we live in Central Texas now) we are in the middle of an ice storm. It is devastating our live oaks. All day there's crack and crashing all over the neighborhood. Most of what is breaking are their crowns, so they will never be the same again...ugh, just saw another whole tree snap in half, a young one... probably 30 years old... never in my lifetime will it grow back the same. So heartbreaking. We have a 300 year old live oak by the house...yes, it buckled the sidewalk, but we just replaced the sidewalk and made a curve around the root.

I wondered if Patrick needed a sweater. Maybe he does not get cold outside? You guys might think about having a pair of inside shoes in the entry hall, so you could leave your outside shoes on a mat just inside the door. This is very good practice in keeping my floors clean. I enjoyed the video. Thanks and see you Sunday!

    I involuntary scream (I'm a puss, I know it) when I see even a dead spider, much less alive one. Doesn't matter if the body is decimated or freshly dead. I think a roach must've crawled over me as a baby in the crib because I don't know why I have such a fear of roaches & spiders. Dead or alive. 😳😱 If I find one at work (flipped up side down, "playing" dead, I will avoid the room until someone else can sweep it up. Before I had employees to help me I'd wait a week before I'd try sweeping it into a dustpan and I swear that's when it would start wiggling it's legs! Let me touch a bug w a broom and it'd come back to torment me. Sorry for the long story. Ash and I are kindred spirits. lol🪳🕷️🤢~Sheri

    My husband and I planted all the trees on our 3.5 acre property 45 years ago. They are now 40-50’ tall. So I understand the importance of keeping them under control. We’ve kept the area around the buildings clear of trees (shrubs, flowers, grass, and garden are better there). You have lots of open land where your large trees can flourish instead, without affecting structures. Looks neater too👏🏻❣️

    Hi Guys, It is an interesting note below about pollarding willows. Here in the states, they let "Weeping Willows" grow and never trim them, however, never plant them near a house, well, or septic system since the roots grow towards any water source. They do make for a lovely view, so many are planted along river banks, streams, or ponds. Also, thanks for sharing the chain saw sharpening tool. I just ordered the same one on Amazon for my partner. Now we'll be able to sharpen our own chains, extend their life and spend less money replacing chains or paying for sharpening. Thanks, Mark
