Why we have to say Good bye.

[@vintagelady1]

I almost cried with relief when you finally said it was not the videos, but the the guesthouse that was being discontinued. Running a B&B sounds like such fun, but I have friends who've done it & it's a ton of work. Glad the videos are continuing, it would be a shame to waste Phillipp's great talent as one of the premier influencers of the decade.

I really love the two of you and I can’t imagine not being able to connect with you. I know the decision was very hard and I know how stressed you must’ve been doing so many things and raising a family and trying to get everything beautifully perfect which it is because you guys are so amazing😊💕💕💕💕💕That being said, each of us has to know our limitations in our boundaries. I believe that I am the recipient of cancer (and so do my doctors) because of too much stress in my life and overworking it’s very important we keep a balance and I lie said it’s easy to say that now that I have been battling cancer issues for the last 11 years…. What is it they say hindsight is better than foresight. So I’m so glad you guys have had the ability to step back and take a look before things got any worse in your life❣️❣️❣️❣️🐕Always do what is best for your Family first and foremost❣️❣️ and even though it may hurt, never be afraid to say “NO”😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ God bless you in this new journey of Your lives and I am going to be happy for you❣️😊I truly hope and pray this allows you the time you are needing for your children and they will be thrilled to have more time with Mommy and Daddy❣️❣️💕

Quality video makingis hard work, apparently some channels devote 50-60 hours per week.

[@ninashouse4126]

I feel very selfish, but I am so thankful you are not giving up KZbin!! I will most likely never have the opportunity to visit the Chateau in person, therefore I visit vicariously via KZbin!!

[@catherinebridwell8442]

You are my favorite KZbin Channel. You are both so talented and fun to watch. Anna, I so admire all of the painting you have done. I loved your tiles and of course your wallpaper as well.

[@snowiowl826]

I have to agree about the humor!! 😆 ....and the bantering back and forth. I love it!

[@kathleenclark5877]

I am so glad that you chose KZbin over the guest house. To begin with, I can just imagine how work intensive it must be to run a guest house. A self-catering gite in your annex (for lack of a better word) is far easier but still generates income. Philip always cracks me up with his deadpan delivery of the most outrageous remarks. This episode’s is when he says he tries to leave the girls in the forest but they always find their way home. Too funny. Can’t wait for next week!

[@jessicakassel9856]

"Deadpan delivery" is spot on 😆

[@Tomm9y]

Guests in the house is all consuming, focus on what helps you diversify and stabilise your income for the long term, and allow yourselves the most flexibility and least use of your time.

[@sandradavison4259]

I echo what others have been saying. My heart did a flop when I saw the trailer yesterday. You are the reason we oldies eagerly look forward to turning on our phones and enter your world; a world we can only imagine. Your KZbin posts are a way of helping so many of us.

[@sharondilloncavalierland954]

I'm relieved that you are not giving up youtube. As Philip is a filmmaker I find it hard to believe he wouldn't put out a mini-movie every week. Thank you for all the entertainment. I have enjoyed your journey. Hugs from Washington State, USA5

How else is he to keep up his influencer status? Obviously, KZbin has to stay.

[@lisakieraldo5463]

It's a testament to you both that you had so many of us on the edge of our seats waiting to hear your decision. I was among the many who was thrilled to hear the videos are to continue.

[@MyFocusVaries]

Wow! Big decision. I hope the KZbin channel grows to the point where you can build a bigger team and hire staff to run the guest house so you make use of those beautiful spaces without losing family time.

That said, the two of you really are darling, funny, gifted and talented, entertaining, bright shining stars! I see you continuing to be more and more loved by your fans over time and your ability to monetize your star power will also grow! I'm so glad you're not going away. I would miss you both!

[@FarmgirlFriday]

Glad to hear that you will still be vlogging, I would miss my weekly dose of sarcastic humor. 😂 Suggestion… since you have the guest rooms, would it be practical to use them for occasional volunteers? If you had one or two per month they could potentially help you speed along your renovations, and would make use of the spaces you already have available. Most of your followers would probably happily put in a week of work at the chateau in exchange for staying in such a lovely place (and maybe a day free to explore the area).

Maybe I SHOULD book that therapist.
