[@mmsmilenow]

Glad to see you back on a regular schedule! You’re such a sweet and happy couple and it’s a joy watching you.

I always like this channel no matter the length of the video short, medium or long. I am going to be watching.

[@pamelamason6372]

I hope that Anna and you are getting over the shock and hurt of the massacre of your gorgeous hens. Lovely to have you posting again, you were missed.

[@julesalexander8917]

Love all your videos, whatever the content, it’s fabulous what you have achieved at the farmhouse

[@elainedavies8485]

Whatever you do its always a pleasure to watch .

[@suzannetownsend1757]

Always lovely to watch anything you do x

[@bdlodahl]

Maintenance is a real-life necessity! Nobody does it better than you, Peter. You're a great role model for all of us! Nice to have a peek at the surviving surviving chickens. I'm hoping you'll soon feel safe in adding to your flock again. It's always so charming watching them pattering around the farm and laying eggs in your workshop just to show you how much they appreciate yours and Anna's loving care!

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Thank you very much :-)

Wish I could get my hubby to watch you cheerfully doing chores, might give him ideas 😂😂 loved seeing the survivors together 😊

[@LimousinLife]

Fountain looking better than ever.

[@deborahreynolds1552]

[@kokoerper]

This video gave me both inspiration and motivation to buy some wood screws and to go outside with my drill. The previous owners of my property used small nails on nearly everything, and well, you know what happens. I appreciate how you demonstrated that sometimes it doesn't have to be complicated.

[@gloriagavaneli9862]

Peter even maintenance is interesting because we learn from watching you. Thank you. Would like to see more of Miss Anna we love her sunny personality next to you ♥️

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

More to come!

[@carolynhoover9444]

Peter, you can film anything. I will watch you pouring yourself a cup of tea. You are a charming and handsome man. Funny and a great dancer, and you can build, fix anything. You are very interesting

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Thank you Carolyn :-) Blushing now!!

[@carolynhoover9444]

Oh, don't blush! You are a great guy.. 😊

[@peterwhite9261]

Peter, anything you and Anna do is interesting. I always enjoy your videos. They motivate me. Your place is beautiful, and you both take great care of it. That fountain is awesome.

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

So nice of you

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Always lovely to see you both. Sending love to Anna too. ❤

[@deborahreynolds1552]

[@pamelawhitmore7353]

Love the fountain and the duck house. Your videos are brilliant, a bit of everything. It’s been great watching your home evolve. Love to Anna. X

[@dianayavetz6286]

Maintenance is probably the most important part of owning a home. Good for you!

[@janet5587]

What aloof work has been done and it is gorgeous….a little paradise.

[@deborahreynolds1552]

I think that was meant to be "a lot of work has been done"!

[@annettewalter2273]

Missed seeing you both and your adventures. The fountain and the duck house is a lovely sight on a hot summer’s day.

[@diannedutton6127]

Yes, I enjoyed this video!❤ Always so pleasant and fun.

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

[@myhillslife27]

How different the garden looks now from when you first videoed the fountain. The planters look fabulous. Enjoying your content very much. It is so nice to see your smiley face again. X

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

[@formermichiganian]

It's good to have the fountain working. Don't mind the routine maintenance. It has to be done.

[@joannebolton1]

Regular, interesting and short is just perfect!👌 Keep up the good work 👏

[@lizhart9]

Grt to have you online again and doing so much work around the home and property. Some wood oil may protect all the decking and railing from the harsh weather of winter- a bit of moisturizing! Love your videos

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

That's the plan, another summer job, thanks Liz for following our journey :-)

[@bethsheeba1198]

I love watching all your videos. I find them creative and relaxing. Cheers from Oz. xxx

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

Yep the pond needs good aeration you should try an anti-flocculant it will help with water clarity. 😊

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Thanks for the tip!

[@pauljeffery6180]

Glad your back we missed you and miss Anna

Love seeing you fixing everything!

[@monicateeling810]

I wish the title/ name of the vlogs was “ FROM CHATEAU TO PERFECT HOME”. Love your farmhouse and have been watching from your move from the chateau. .

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Thank you so very much Monica :-)

[@annajohnson739]

I’ve missed you both. Happy your back

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Yay! Thank you!

[@lorieastside1]

Love your content!!!!

[@johnoleary528]

Pleasure watching the maintenance 😊

[@rhondadean5455]

I remember you and liked you all but, you disappeared. Nice to see you. Your place has evolved. Pretty.

[@jillphillips3227]

A smelly job, indeed! Glad that is ticked off the list for another year! So great to see the pond full of water again! Cheers!

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Our pleasure!

[@millystapleton6603]

Good to see you back and working around the grounds, would love to see a bit more of the outlying area of the lake etc and love the updates on outbuildings.

[@calmitchell85]

Pleased to see the survivors! 😊

[@shirleymcneil4410]

Good to see you both again. I really like your updated title. As to content I find those vlogs with a little bit of things across your regular and special events the most interest . I first found your vlogs when I saw these two brave people slowly walking in a village bravely explaining why their dream of chateau living was over. . I have loved watching you since then whenever I see your postings. Do you still visit local eater,pub,music events. Still dancing? I love your farmhouse. Congratulations and thanks.

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Hiya Shirley, its harder during the winter to get out to socials as lots of places just close - we hope to do these again come the summer! Thank you

[@KarenSmith958]

Your content is varied AND interesting ... Worry not. 😊

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

We really appreciate that!

[@hilaryraza4561]

I hope Anna is feeling better after the shock of losing her beloved hens

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Its hurt Anna - a time for reflection and love now :-) Thank you Hilary

[@jojo_inthemitten36]

I cleaned out my pond last weekend. Wet, gross, mucky and about 100 new baby fish to sort. A lot of work but the enjoyment factor outweighs the hassle. Happy Beltane! 🌸🐟

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

That is awesome!

[@annbottelli5682]

I really enjoy anything you do so I'm so pleasef to see. you back! Although, I don't if it was just KZbin being spoil sports and not telling me, which I believe they do sometimes!!😂

[@laurieedeburn2449]

thanks

[@RobinMuirhead]

Love the content informative and interesting!

[@Louisefenner]

Glad to have you back making content. Was worried at one stage that you might never return. Do miss seeing more of Anna in the videos. Perhaps it’s a decision she’s made to take a back seat?

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Anna isnt feeling 100% at the moment but will hopefully return to the videos soon Louise :-)

[@cynthiabroockman1752]

Always love whatever you both choose to film - love yr place too.. A couple of nosy questions.. Of course, answer only if you like.. Are the coypoo (spelling?) behaving? Does Anna still love her greenhouse? How did your curtains and insulation project in your sitting room work in winter - did help? Are those cattails in your pond? How is your side room project going? Phewf - lol did say I can be nosey.. 😊 Thanks so much for the video - reminded me to go get a drill n fix some boards on our little dock!

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Unfortunately the only Coypu we have has a bad name, not helped by some channels suggesting they are vicious, they do eat lots of marine plants which is great for us to help control the reeds!! Anna will be back planting as the weather improves, and lastly we are still awaiting a second hand door and window to finish off the boot room!! Thank toy:♧

[@joydeal2988]

any thing you guys do is great

[@risalangdon9883]

I for one greatly appreciate your videos. Just an FYI. When you posted about the goose house, I was excited to see you had uploaded again. I recalled your post regarding the loss of your Mom and thought you were taking some much needed time off. But then you mentioned there was a part one of the goose house. So I went and looked at your channel and there were a number of videos I didn't receive a notification for. I was still showing I was subscribed with the bell on but just wasn't getting notifications 😕. I'm currently working my way through the ones I've missed lol. KZbin can be quite frustrating at times. Do please keep the videos coming.

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

So sorry to hear that you weren't getting notifications, I think KZbin may have it out for us sometimes too!!

[@joydeal2988]

love

[@gypsy1588]

All the property is looking fabulous.

I have to do the same thing with my fountain! Thanks for the reminder. Hugs and love y’all from Texas! Where’s Anna been?

[@cherrycochrane9677]

I am surprised at how well you build anything that it needs any maintenance. Wood does have it's quirks .What's that floating in your pond ?

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Its horrid reeds and pond weed - aghhhhh! Thank you Cherry :-)

Hi Peter, tell the mrs to get behind the camera again; we miss her input and sweet nature.

[@ItsaWonderfulLife2]

Hello there, hopefully Anna will feel like contributing more soon, she just needs a little space at the moment, thank you for your understanding
