What a great thing to have this channel in addition to Dan's. Every time when there's not much to do at the château, there's a good, productive vlog by Brian

[@lindabryant4292]

I hadn't thought of that. Good point. :)

[@bartdevries6790]

I agree

[@francer1793]

Yes 👍 I agree

[@sallyflavell6221]

Yep👌🤓

[@picturenut]

Nice looking vehicle. Do you live in it? It’s the in thing, these days. If I weren’t an old lady, I think I might love to do that.I am enjoying you as the witty one in the team I am enjoying you as one of the the team that’s bringing Dan’s Château back to life, one brick at a time plus noggins.😢

[@jennyd255]

Brian "I need to get some keys cut and I need to get some paint..." Next shot is an impressive Patisserie and Brian Drinking coffee. This is clearly a man with his priorities right!

[@lynnlovattjones4171]

No. He said he got coffee!!😊

[@karenhantsche9270]

Right! Pan to pastries......

[@fletcher2311]

Was about to comment the same. Work ethic goals!

[@McMillinLass-h8s]

No pressure Brian… how does it feel to know you are making thousands of people smile and laugh every day?!? Thank you from my smiley face!

[@jimthain8777]

It's just 33 people, it's not that big of a deal...

[@monicateeling810]

That’s what is so perfect about your vlogs, a normal guy doing normal things✅✅✅

[@debbiem3146]

Everyone may think Brian is a bit odd with Pascal. But what you don't realise is that so many people in the French countryside drive around in ancient cars. Brian is the norm. I lived in France for years. But this week is my first return after 6 years. And nothing has changed. This is a different world. And now I am here I realise how much I have missed it. I am number 10.x

[@janmccann8081]

Why? Why? Why is this fun to watch? I burst out laughing when you showed the car getting washed by those big red whooshy things. It's just all slightly bonkers, and so utterly charming. Thanks, Brian!

[@dorianmorton67]

Because he’s just a regular guy, with a great accent, great look, and great personality. 🇨🇦❤️

[@millywood6801]

He's just so chilled and relaxed, doesn't flap about things. To watch is to escape all the mad things that are happening in the world today. Short videos, yes but so enjoyable. We just love Brian

[@maggiej253]

No wonder you love living in France Brian! Very civilised pace of life, yummy food and gorgeous scenery.

[@susandellet7121]

Love the music

[@lgrindrod3474]

The two times I laugh during the day are during your videos and the Dad Joke segment on Dan's video. Bless your Irish wit and charm. 💜

[@suzanneconner8056]

I like the slower pace, real life vlog that you have.😊 and hearing your jokes and ramblings.

[@luannschomel2642]

It's like hanging out with a friend..

[@Dao0253]

I love trundling around rural France with you❤🇨🇦

[@valeriejohnson5283]

Good morning, Brian🍀I've never understood why an auto repair shop is closed on Saturday. People work during the week and usually only have the weekend off to take their cars in or need parts. How can you run out of COFFEE!😂Have a wonderful weekend. 🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@sarahhhh775]

It's called France. It's how it is. 😎

[@gordoncrone2354]

Hi Brian, have a couple of puns: I could never be friends with a seamstress. They're too clothes-minded. A bunch of hypocrites went to war. They marched under a double standard. The inventor of Velcro died recently. Rip. An animal that only eats circus performers? Carnyvore. Fred is really good at drawing perpendicular lines. His skill is unparalleled. I thought about starting a diet. But at the moment I just have too much on my plate.

[@jimthain8777]

Thanks, that was puntastic!

[@sadielaurentiwhitley3762]

These are great. I hope h3 gets to say these on Dan’s channel 😂

[@CindyEriksen]

I love making lists and then getting to check off the things I’ve accomplished ♥️

[@RichieHas-v1e]

“Terribly interesting vlog isn’t it?” Even more interesting with cakes and macaroons!! 😂 Keep it going Brian it’s more interesting than being retired on a cold wet day in York! 👍

[@donmorrow1923]

Good afternoon Brian. Thanks for taking us along for your day of shopping for bits and bobs. I was thinking if I was a 12 year old boy you totally entertain me with all of your self improvement projects, your Dad was probably like that with you. I wish there was such a thing as a simple automated car wash where I’m at…it’s all done by manpower, which makes for a long tedious process. Yes doing it myself is possible, but at my age, or even when I was younger, it was one of those things I just don’t enjoy.

[@melissaeden1219]

Catch-up Fridays are always a good thing.

[@larssoderblom.englund]

You know it’s still enjoyable. Thanks man. Have a great weekend.

[@susansouthern6704]

Thanks for the lovely afternoon with a handsome fellow

[@patrickdemarcevol]

That white Peugeot 504 coupé by Pininfarina is a beauty! My cousin used to drive one back in the 70's, lovely car

[@penihavir1777]

Had to chuckle at the car wash. Never saw one without a building around it. But then we’re buried in deep snow here in winter (or at least used to be, and sometimes still are), and temperatures can get down to -40°C/F. So that wouldn’t work for months around here. 😂

[@carolann6072]

Spending a Friday running errands has never been so fun! And now I must have a coffee... you're an influencer, Brian. 😉

[@1231ms54]

Glad you had a day off.

[@KarieChant]

Thanks for taking us for coffee & lunch - bonus! Productive day, relaxing evening.

[@Saxtonwells]

Have a lovely weekend.

[@maluneid5277]

Your relaxing day makes me chill a bit in the stress I have here in rural Canada!

[@lindabryant4292]

While you can occasionally buy car batteries in a grocery store in the US, it is not common. I suppose in rural France things are much further apart, so you might find yourself away from an auto parts store and in need. I thought that was an interesting tidbit. Keep the tidbits coming. Cases of macaroons. Thank goodness, I am only there vicariously,. Thanks for letting us tag along with you today. 🧡

[@JamesHardiman99]

I haven't commented in 10 days: been in hospital with Covid and the WiFi was weird ... but I have been watching!

[@лилия-и5ь5ы]

Выздоравливайте.

[@polgarauk5606]

Hope you are feeling much better, I have had Covid twice and it's very very draining. Take good care of yourself xx 🤗🤗

[@patriciaarroni2142]

Hope you're better now😊

[@alisonmccoy5813]

Hope you’re recovering well.

We really enjoy your blogs Brian keep them coming 💖

[@jlotoo850]

Yeah, but we need Dad jokes on here as well...LOL

[@ttorraca24]

Did you forget to buy coffee Brian? Have a great weekend 👍

[@lindabryant4292]

Hahaha! You're right, it seems he did.

[@stephaniepelc1618]

Where’s the coffee!?!? ☕️

[@joannegreig9231]

Did he forget the part for his car as well???

[@paulabouwer6750]

Fabulous music, love it!

[@lindabryant4292]

Yes! The music at the beginning caught me straightaway.

[@joannegreig9231]

The music reminds me of my father who loved Big Band tunes!

[@veg-hb3kt]

Hi Brian, I like your taste in music. Enjoy your weekend.

[@Didi-sq4hl]

Relaxing l dont think so, lm exhausted just watching! 😂X

[@catherinesalber6442]

Good afternoon Brian.😊

[@monicaambs]

Great music again today Brian. Relaxing and even romantic music.

Enjoy your day off 😀

[@louisegatti9262]

Nice visit, have a great weekend, it's supposed to be in the 70's here in Wisconsin. Need to rake those leaves.

[@barbaraking6980]

Oh yes, COFFEE ! Thee most important thing on the list......can't function without my first coffee of the day :) Have a cracking weekend Brian, chill, and we'll see ya sometime in the week 👍

[@Chateaulady]

You must have picked up some coffee ☕️ when you took us to the patisserie. Hope you didn't forget it.....rough morning tomorrow. I so enjoy the music choices. Thank you!

[@nativetexson]

Yep, sometimes you have to have a "life maintenance" day.

[@cathyhatfield5340]

Hi Brian love to follow you around on your day off! It appears to be a productive day. Have a good night and enjoy a beer or two😎 Also enjoy the weekend doing something fun😎❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@susannahwhitaker994]

Awsume video, so relaxing, just sitting back and watching. Have a great weekend.

[@Stizel-Swik]

THAT was a REALLY long day@ (8 minutes, 20 seconds). I am like totally exhausted! ROFLH UH OH, Brian's hittin' the "gadget store"! Watch out, World! Here he comes!... lol. I LOVE riding along with you seeing the french scenery and the little villages, Brian. It's like bein' with one of my sons. It's beautiful there! you got quite a bit done in one day!!! Good on you! See ya next time!

[@jenniferwatt5209]

Look for one of those plug in battery operated small hand held fans to clip near a hot air vent. Might help. Nice TLC day

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

Your productive day made me feel great!😂Love it when things get done! Also, great music!

[@brabusg350]

great vlog as allways, solved almost all mobility problems, well done and the music choice was perfekt !!! again 😉😊😁!!!

[@busylizzieb]

Love it when you take us shopping. Brings back lovely memories of my time in French supermarkets ❤. The things you can buy is amazing.

[@Musique-David]

What a relaxing way to start the weekend. Any stress I had from the week disappeared while watching this video. Thank you

[@craigott7003]

Well i have similar problems with my truck being 35 years old , i was replacing damn near everything. And the thing i realized was used parts are just as old .Fortunately for me there are companies making new OEM parts you have to hunt for them.you could try to match the blower motor with a newer one and adapting to the old housing .but my advice would be to take the part to an eletric motor shop and see if they can help or put you in the right direction.

[@dawnb7457]

Great soundtrack 🎶😎

Hopefully there is very little rain! They were calling for a huge amount and concerns about major flooding......🙏🏽🤞

I even loved the Peugeot being washed. I had a 2013 Pug 308 HDI Diesel Auto Allure but now have 2016 Pug 2008 Outdoor 1.6L Manual....I still miss my 308 as it had some real grunt!!

[@delwyngraham4033]

I always have to make lists otherwise I forget what I’m supposed to be getting and buy a gadget instead maybe😂but I never forget the coffee or chocolate

[@jdawake]

Feels so GREAT to get your list done, doesn’t it? I enjoyed going along-those macaroons looked so delicious! 😍 hope you enjoyed your evening by the 🔥 I’m tucked in early myself over on this side of the pond! Have a great weekend! 👋

[@margaretchettleburgh5828]

You achieved heaps! You deserve a relaxing weekend.

[@gaelenecole4053]

Love your random vlogs …. It’s nice to see France is old school and things are shut on the weekends A million shops down here are open 7 days a week … but I understand that it’s inconvenient for folks who need parts or things… Glad you got new eyes for the Peugeot … (thanks for the reminder 🤦‍♀️I need new brighter ones for my 96 Toyota super custom van ) Love poking around in op shops /gadget shops for bargains and who doesn’t like car washes 🙌😁 Have a fantastic weekend ❤

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Nice blog Brian, and you managed to get some loose ends tied up! Well done mate, and the weekend before you! Lubbly…Jubbly.

[@daanh8194]

your vlogs are such a breath of fresh, uncomplicated, relaxed and joyful daily air, that it's become the one i really, really, *really* hope pops up on my feed - and it did before i had to turn in for the night.... thanks for these!! have a lovely weekend... 💕

[@np8173]

LOVING your music choices - the music does add a bit of je ne sais quoi.

[@avivat3010]

I love your "getting things done music" Brian. It's somehow comforting to go shopping with someone else, as long as things get done. The french pastries look as wonderful as ever. Lucky you! Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for just being you.

[@louettahuddleson7194]

Wow! So much accomplished in one video. Good job Brian. See ya next time👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Watching on my lunch break- thanks for sharing a happy day off in rural France! Greetings from California.

[@polgarauk5606]

Ahh nothing better than a little jobs day, lots of achievements except Did you get coffee or the boot part? My main achievement today was a car demonstration 😂 I have actually waited months for this as they are really busy. Citroen Berlingo was the car (not necessarily my personal choice a necessity one), I needed assessing on what additions I need to make it accessible for my wheelchair and nyself as the driver. Turns out quite a lot extra needed 😢 that means report, grant reassessment, possible home visit then finally if agreed to I wait for it to be built. Yeah I ain't getting a car till mid next year I suspect as it has already taken 5 months to get this far ain't life fun 😂😂😂 Have a wonderful weekend Brian 😊

[@zeenatbaer138]

Coffee and cake ☕️🍰 .. glad we got two coffee stops 🎉

Sounds like it never was the bad weather Dan was expecting - which means Dan is probably trying to do the roof by himself again! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope not but we all know Dan‼️

Hi Brian. Thanks for the 🎶🎵, coffee and Friday pm ❤ love and blessings to all ❤

I bet as the chateau work was cancelled on Friday, we get a vlog on Sunday with Dan dangling off the chateau doing something dangerous out of boredom 😄 (On second thoughts I forgot Calvin is there so they'll probably be out for drinkies)
