It’s your house! Your yard! Your Dog! Your Bar! And your life! No one is responsible for your happiness but You! So stay busy doing just what you want to do! We will still be watching and loving whatever you do! Just keep on keeping on! We’re there behind you.❤🏆👍🏻👏🏻😍

[@retiredlor]

Phil, you are only answerable to yourself. Sometimes the general public are sh×t!

[@jeanmkaufmann]

Agreed. 🙂🇨🇦

[@clairetremblay3023]

Very well said. 💐

[@hopewalker8886]

He doesnt own the chateau. He rents it.

[@shirpaten]

Phil, you DO NOT owe anybody any apologies for doing what's best for you! It's your life - live it as you choose!

[@lindabradley1054]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@sushirules]

More power to you, Phil. No judgement passed here! 👍

[@kkay2270]

Well said. I agree with your comment.

[@pattysands564]

Absolutely!

[@kathleenestep2419]

I had a malamute , the hair never ends… ever…. Lightening is handsome and a wonderful companion🩵 Sometimes you just have to do what’s best for you, always. No apologies needed.

[@Dani_Capozzi]

For those who have not planned events for the public, it is a massive amount of work, often times, requiring months of planning. If you are not up to it, then don't do it. You also cannot do it alone.

[@mapesdhs597]

In Aug/2022 I did a yard sale as part of dealing with an estate as Executor (a house on an island, so a lot of passing tourists), and ye gods, you speak the truth. I wish I'd had at least an extra month to prepare, and the hours were insane, up at 4am, midnight to bed if I was lucky, little food. Nine lucrative days, but close to burnout by the end of it, cut short by pending bad weather, which was perhaps fortuitous. Very rewarding of course, but yeah a lot of work doing it on one's own. With hindsight it really needed 2 or 3 people to do it properly, as otherwise the setup and tear down times each day were very long. It was an extraordinary experience, but quite exhausting.

[@NancyStich-wc1iu]

The château and gardens are looking beautiful . I agree with you - no volunteers , no guests - it’s your home.

[@hungrygrl333]

You have the bar now. It not necessary to have events at your place unless you want to. You don't have to do this vlog unless you want to as well. I love watching and appreciate the effort that goes into these vlogs/channels. I do look forward to seeing the progress you make on fixing this chateau up.

[@lisam145]

Sometimes you need a pause in life. I remember being pregnant and could do all the things I use to volunteer for. Someone said, "There is a season in life for things and right now you are looking after yourself". That really brought comfort to me. Different seasons come and go. Hang it there.

[@vsalvati123]

Phil you do what you want. Don't let other people talk you into something you don't want. Take care of yourself. We all care about you.The Mrs Atlanta Georgia 😊

[@PatriciaBride]

Billy just found the Range Rover seats! We love Lightening ❣️ ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY IS ALL YOU NEED! Carry on

[@jenniferbrennan1623]

You do what you need to do. You answer to no one

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Stick to your grounds keep going and keep getting your mental health better!

[@danstorozuk2519]

Just a tip on grooming ur dog ...if u don't mind...we have a husky and i brush him outside and let the fur blow in the wind...birds do pick it up for their nests..talk about recycling

[@aussieangela]

Hey Phil, I think that is a great idea. Sort yourself out, spend time getting your home in order & then reassess the future. You never know what’s around the corner!

[@julieduchek2969]

Your dog looks very happy and healthy and very much loved. Don’t let people who think they “know it all” get you down. 😊

[@marilynwade9448]

Your chateau is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy it

[@nelleg152]

Its never ending brushing a dog especially when they don't like being brushed ❤

[@malina1239]

I have 4 longhaired cats who’s now shedding their massive undercoat . I’m brushing and shaving, but the amount of shedding and hair flying around and gathering in the house is astounding !! I have a special air cleanser with pet hair collector and carbon filter . It’s full every week now😮 This year has been worse than anyone I can remember … I’ve had cats for 30 years and way more than I have now when I were fostering 12 cats, a dog and a bunny😂 I think I need to take the guys and gals to the vet and give the a vitamin B shot to get back some control of their fur..

[@brittawrolson5936]

Having ‘Invite Only’ events at your chateau sounds so much fun,,,and so much less stress and set up. Your bar events can fill the spot if locals are asking about the music or beer events.

[@danielulz1640]

Phil, the chateau is your personal and private home, you are not obligated to open it to the public at large. Take the year off and then see how you feel about it. At a later date, you might consider letting the grounds for a charity event, providing that the people hosting the event tend to all of the gorey details.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

We are just here for the ride. You are the bus driver. We go where you take us. I love Lightning talking. 🙂

[@AndreatheDoria]

Phil you have to do what brings you peace and joy! Right now who needs the stress. This is from someone who worked in live theater hosting public events is beyond stressful. Just be safe and enjoy your life and have adventures

[@sallyrowland6063]

You do you Phil ~ no need to explain yourself. You have more than enough to do just keeping the chateau looking awesome, plus the pub!! ❤ 👋 🇦🇺

[@johart8922]

Phil, I have followed you for many years. I understand your feelings on this. You need to regain your equilibrium. Just do what you can. What you're happy with. If people cannot understand that, then it's not your problem... It's theirs. bon chance.

[@user-ty1yw2ng9z]

The grounds and the chateau look gorgeous! Do what you feel comfortable with and makes you happy. No stress needed, just enjoy your beautiful home. Good luck with the removal of the bath! Xx

[@deborahberry6746]

I agree with you. With life's changes, we change. I understand. Follow your heart and emotions. I like it!

[@charc9009]

Your caption had me afraid something happened to the furball!!! He’s just the sweetest. The château is your home - you do what you feel is best for you!!

[@RosemarieComtois-qs8ce]

No more events means you'll have more time for other projects you want to do T your chateau. Less stress is great for everyone. As your viewership goes up , it will earn more money 💰. Its fun tuning in from Syracuse New York. ❤

[@rosemarywickham8479]

Good for you,Phil! YOU are the number one priority! Look after yourself. I love seeing what you have achieved with the chateau and the gardens are looking wonderful. Take care of yourself.

[@cathymoore3446]

It’s your home. You do what pleases you.

[@Ldyrev1]

Don't worry about anyone else. You need to do what's right for you right now. It's OK to just be yourself and find happiness where you can. I'm saying prayers for your happiness Phil. Blessings!

[@jesschee5891]

Wise decision Phil. Life is too short to do things that you don’t enjoy anymore. You open your home and life to all of us and I hope the chateau can feel the joy that brings everyone watching. Lightening looks beautiful, loads of work keeping up with his coat

[@Gramma_Holly]

Your home, your choice.

[@user-yx4yh9xf9v]

Hey Phil, I had a Big German Shepherd who absolutely despised brushing. I brushed him outside, & the second I started to grab the piles of hair off the comb, the bird's who were swooping around, would swoop in and grab it in the air! They absolutely love it for their nests. You do you. It's YOUR life. Keep it simple. Just say no, not for another year or so. Sending love, prayers & granny hugs. ❤️

[@wandacasper5612]

Phil u owe us nothing. I really just enjoy watching a different world than what I live in. ❤❤❤❤

[@debragonser745]

I agree! That’s a lot of work for one person. I don’t blame you!!!

[@terrysuemakesvideosforyou9940]

That is a great decision to just work on your home! It seemed that the public events were too much work for you and a small amount of help. I would think the town would be happy to come to the pub for music on the weekends! Please try and enjoy your summer, not having to think about what everyone else wants! Some other Chateaus have afield in or near their town, where the town holds the town festival. They only supply the field.... not the whole thing! A massive amount of work for you! I hope that you have a good week.

[@jamesgause9546]

Never apologize or reply to nosy people, life’s too short! Do what makes you happy. Life is better if you love yourself first then you pass it on to those near and dear. Enjoy your spring gardening! .

[@user-es2dv1ky4p]

You do what's right for you Phil. ❤

[@shanacrous2214]

Follow your intituion, & keep moving towards your ultimate goal.

[@rosemaryferguson7644]

Enjoy your home, enjoy your life and thank you for sharing.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Keep your heart up!

[@homerooster4022]

The most telling statement you made in the vlog was “and I don’t miss it”. (The public events). So often we go against what our gut is telling us and cause ourselves angst, stress and unhappiness. Best wishes to you wherever your future goes.

[@mmn1442]

Priorities change. Life is too short, so do what brings you joy.

[@lgrigg5439]

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 love your gorgeous chateau.

[@dianecooper3098]

Glad to here you are looking after yourself. Keep it up.

[@cynhanrahan4012]

The conversation with Lightening was hilarious. Oh yes the double coats shed loads in the spring, but really quite a bit all year round. Your decision about your home - I completely agree with you. Right now I'm looking for a small place here in the US since my landlord is selling. Being a private person is absolutely valid. I can't imagine what public events, tours and people traipsing about the place would do to your peace of mind. I know what it would do to mine. We'll see you here. You get to curate what you share.

[@floridasunshine3916]

Good for you Phil. You have enough to do there and don’t need the stress of the public event. Do what makes you happy 😃

[@gregfyn]

Well...glad to watch to the end to find out what sad meant...and that your dog is OK, your title made me worry a bit... ;)

[@laurenglass4514]

spring is looking beautiful in rural France

[@leighcairns2601]

I have watched your vlog over past few years And at times I felt so sad for what was going on But you have pushed forward always being open and honest You do what's good for you Get your home sorted and your own life Take it easy Phil we love your open honest chat you are a bkiddy good man and you have a lot to give and you will eventually Just keep trucking we are all behind you Leigh 🎉

[@carolinewalker368]

You're the man of your manor. You do as you please!! Take your time doing what you want. We do so love your videos!!!❤❤❤❤

[@juliemix3373]

Phil, Lighting will be so happy in the summer after all the grooming you do. I'm looking forward to the bedroom renovation. Cheers

[@marianbrown1015]

Do what is best for you xx

[@sue7190]

You should do what is right for you. Loved hearing Lightning chatting 😊 what a lovely dog and wonderful companion.

[@pamelawright1369]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@karenmorrison8112]

Love it, Simon, Ryan and Yannis all having fun. How cool Phil. And your home is your sanctuary, invite parties are really great. And who knows you may open Chateau grounds for visits. Plow on..

[@lyndacran1219]

Your home, see them at the bar. Set something up at bar, it's your house, not public.

[@kimsytsma8493]

A private party, the people that are there are your friends & they are the people that love you. They are the best kind of parties. Enjoy yourself! Life is too short to not live your best life!

[@20thcenturyrescue]

All I can say is GOOD FOR YOU! People grow in and out of things. You are now finding what makes you happy.

[@dospalmascb]

As an experienced hotelier, where we lived on site for many years, I fully understand what you feel. Your point about stopping doing something and not missing it is very very valid. When we closed the doors on our last property just over a year ago, I was panicked and couldn't imagine doing anything else after 8 years and 3 hotels in our portfolio. BUT boy was I wrong, how wonderful it is not to have the worries of wages, customers, suppliers, reviews, locals, brides, how will i have time to celebrate our anniversary or a birthday. Do what's right for you and Angelina!

[@lyndacran1219]

I love the view of your chateau, peaceful.

[@susannystrom-marshall9437]

That's not sad! you are making time to reinvent yourself, don't worry about everyone else. It's good to see you taking a direction and are open to ideas as and when.

[@Donnie_M.]

Take your life at your pace, not at the pace others want. You'll be very happy with that arrangement.

[@bluejeanie8978]

It`s YOUR life to live as YOU want. I just love Lightening!

[@Wren9]

Phil you gotta do what you gotta do or not do 😆 Just live and love and keep it just as it suits you. I would be much the same. I like my privacy and hoping to move to a house with a bit of space around it. Enjoy life and do your thing Phil. ✔️💯

[@lhmcd5538]

I’m pleased you are looking after yourself Phil. It’s so important that you do. Lightening is just blowing his coat as normal. Would he allow you to vacuum him or the reverse and blow dry his coat to get the hair out like groomers do. I’m sure the birds in your neighbourhood would love his fur for their nests. I was worried about Lightening for a moment. I’m pleased to see his adorable self. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

[@audreyatherton3373]

Your chateau looks beautiful. Keep up the good work. The grounds are amazing.

[@andrearathbun]

You do you! Love your videos.

[@gaelenecole4053]

You do you 😊❤❤❤❤ Life is too short to have to worry about Offending others …doing stuff your not feeling up too doing …..they will either suck it up and understand … or move on… ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-vp2qf8qr1m]

One can only imagine in wildest dreams what it would feel like walking the grounds of a place like yours each morning, and having all the rooms to wonder through. Enjoy the process at a pace you can handle.

[@amdwestca]

That dog is loving life. We had one identical and its the never-ending brushing party...so beautiful!

[@carolfaberpeake857]

Phil it’s your life, your home and balance is important! Take care of yourself and your heart 🎉

[@judithfryer7024]

Having a public event sounds so stressful. The thing is it is your home for you to enjoy as and when you want. X

[@edwardulrich1515]

Phil, I had an Alaskan Malamute, so I can commiserate with you on Lightning's undercoat shedding. I felt as if I had my own personal cotton field and spent about a month plucking cotton balls from my beloved dog. My sister actually made yarn from the fluff. 😂😅😊

[@jeanwoodhouse8899]

I was just thinking of seeing if Phil had some homeweavers nearby who might want the fur.😊😊

[@user-fc2hb3de2w]

I love the 'conversations' between you and Lightening. He's very vocal. Beautiful dog. Don't sweat the small stuff Phil. I love to see the grounds bursting with green and flowers!

[@hippy9309]

You do what makes you happy. Nobody lives your life, pays your bills or feeds you but YOU! And i for one find you to be a beautiful human. Be happy

[@Turbogran]

We ran horse trial 3-day events for a number of years which included International Events all of which were open to the public in Canada. The rules, regulations and insurance regarding liability when the public are involved weren’t worth it and didn’t offset the cost. Some Events in England are cancelling (sometimes weather related). Gatcombe Park is no longer hosting Events. Please don’t concern yourself. Have fun and keep it private!

[@laurenglass4514]

its up to you if you are going to do public events. if you have private events then thats up to you.

[@dellamcconnochie]

Thanks for sharing 😊enjoyed video

[@pathoodjoy]

Well said - if you stop doing it and don't miss it then perhaps it's not needed. It's always sad to give away things that take our time and have brought happiness in the past, but doing so opens up time for new happiness in the future.

[@ChateauDIYlover]

Good for you Phil. Glad you made the decision that is right for you. A private party will be fun and maybe Billy will film it again for us.

[@catherinekilgour2563]

My first reaction was sadness but then I thought about the event I am organising, which is only two months away, and I realised you have made the right decision. It is a lot of work to run an event open to the public. You also have the pub to run now as well as wanting to get more work done on the chateau. Much better to decide early on not to do it than end up with a half done job and no one happy, or more likely you burnt out to meet your own expectations.

[@lesleytaylor-brett4176]

Nothing sad about it. Paying attention to what feels right for you is the most sensible thing to do. If you ever feel some enthusiasm for revisiting the creation of some kind of event…. you can go for it, but you don’t have to. It’s your home to do with as you want. It’s nice of you to share some of what you do with us. I think there are many people like me who enjoy watching your videos, alongside The Pethericks, Sean’s World and The Moons etc. They are like a soothing antidote to the crazy world we are living in. Much appreciated.

[@phyllischartrand1329]

Phil now that it is just you in the video I have started watching your videos again. There was just to much negative energy before. Sorry to say. You are now on the road to recovery! Good for you!

[@Cherylherb]

It’s so exhausting to put on any kind of event . I couldn’t agree with you more! Good for you! Do what feels good for you. Phil, you are a busy guy, the house, the gardens, the bar, whew that’s a lot. I just enjoy what you are doing and anxiously await seeing more.

[@T-RexRita]

Nothing wrong with wanting your personal space! When I separated, I didn't tell, or invite anyone over for almost 2 years! Still saw my friends, but didn't want company. Nothing personal or offensive about it, just wanted time and peace. 👍🍻

[@helenhelps9619]

Philip, to be quiet frank, I enjoy your single vlogs better than the early ones. I know it hasn't been easy, but you are doing wonderful work, and it shows in the house and grounds. 👍👍❤️

[@suzannepolder3929]

I completely understand. That is your sanctuary and it is where your focus should be.

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Phil I love your dog Liberty especially when you always talk to him.

[@danielulz1640]

Lightning.

[@gingergreenhill1908]

This is your home, you can do whatever you want!

[@lynnkazwell6189]

Maybe someday in the future you will be in a better place and then you might change your mind.😊❤

[@ros9673]

Hello from Essex UK i hoe you and your dog are ok ❤

[@tracie8619]

So many wonderful supportive comments… I have nothing new to add but do what brings you joy and share with us when I are able. ❤️ You have an amazing community behind you.

[@mocarra100]

Phil, it's your KZbin channel it's your life it's your Chateau it's your bar do whatever the hell you want to do you do not owe any of us or anyone an explanation. Period! You're a great guy!

[@cecoya]

Good for you Phil!!! Take care of yourself first, then everything else will fall into place. Lightening looks very well cared after and everyone knows that spring is the shedding/molting time, no matter how much you brush and vacuum there will still be fur/feathers everywhere. You have a great day

[@denisemusicnut]

I totally support your decision! My family used to do a weekend camp-out every year, and it was a huge amount of work! It seemed like, as time went on, our guests became more demanding and some of them were downright disrespectful! It was just too much. We spent loads of time preparing, and more time cleaning up. I’m so relieved to not have it anymore! You need to do what’s best for you!

[@Jazz1959]

He is a husky my son’s husky is the same. I use a de shedding conditioner on her. It makes a big difference. You can brush them all you want it’s nonstop. 😂😂. Tala is a sweetheart. So I know what you go through Phil. I take Tala outside and use a blower on her after. There is fur all over. It’s your life I wouldn’t worry what other people think. I use to own a bar. And people expect to much sometimes.

[@ingridhendy5922]

Lightening says 'Don't touch my fluff'

[@lindabaker2905]

😂

[@ingridhendy5922]

PS anyone who wants to comment on how you groom your dog needs to watch 'Girl with the Dogs' and see how husky/malamutes respond to grooming - hint they sing the song of their people, are highly protective of their fluff and water is like acid.

[@dannsherstone1037]

We have a husky, Millie, that is almost done with her spring blowout; she hates being brushed and gets really snippy! Lightening seems rather well behaved!

[@lauriemattingly2699]

[@franuhaly7006]

Phil you just said it, if you use to do it and you stop doing it and you don’t miss it then don’t worry about what anyone else has to say!!! Do what you want and enjoy doing!!!! I enjoy your you videos and look forward to seeing them!!!

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Just take care of yourself and your fir baby. Phil. 😊❤

[@annhardesty1696]

Event planning is HARD work! Keep your focus.
