Michael has never looked so handsome and happy. He appears to be soaking up the love from around the world. Good to see him back and smiling.

Funny how so many strawberries around when Isabel away

Philip: “Is this a ding?” *Dings the glass
Michael: “It’s a dull ding...”
Stephanie: “The pair of you are a nightmare! It’s a ding, it’s FINE!”
Me: 😂😂😂

"...older than Philip and more full bodied" 😂😂

If this hasn't been the absolute best Chateau-a-Palooza these past two weeks, then I don't know how it could be topped. Thank you to everyone who has made the past year so much more bearable by bringing us along on your DIY/cooking/family time/friendship time journeys!

Dear Steph. As a new patron I have diligently watched your posts from oldest to newest. I have also binge-watched every vlog from start to finish more than once. You are a person of many gifts, but I think your greatest gift is that of a storyteller. I fell like I know each of you and tonight’s episode did much to heal my soul. My community has a saying. “There is a family you are born into and a family you make for yourself “. You can’t know what this means to men. ❤️

OMG, this has just been the best ever few days, am just so, so happy. Thankyou all XXX

[ritaqualter]

Michael, today is National Wine Day in North Central Florida so I'm going to make a toast to your continued happiness! Be safe and be well!

[mariepadilla]

Having Michael back at the chateau is like a tonic. So glad to see you looking so lovely and happy!

I cant imagine what it must be like to have so much love from ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD ... Michael's back and there is a wave of joy swishing over the whole world ... and goodness knows the world needs it. Thank you Michael for being Michael ... we just love you x

I found you about a year ago from Nicki Positano after she mentioned you’re one of her favorite channels to watch. After watching the first few videos, I was hooked. I have always loved history and its beautiful details and imagining what life used to be like, and I love that you do, too. I never knew chateau life was even a thing until stumbling into your YouTube world. I love it. I love that you live and breathe the history every single day. Your passion for it is a beautiful thing. As someone else in the comments said, you truly have a wonderful gift in storytelling. My own roots are in journalism and it just makes me appreciate it so much more. You are surrounded by beautiful people and things and stories and you bring them all to life in these videos. Their souls and energy shine through, and it is just so pure and wonderful to watch. Thank you so much for sharing these bits of your adventures and life, family and friends—the genuine love and happiness you have for them shines out of you like sunbeams. And it is contagious. I look forward to your videos and I savor them. I never thought I would love Spode china, toile de jouie, architectural restoration, boulangerie and charity shop trips, and rural France, but here I am, enthralled at all of the above. I am looking forward to the day I will be able to support you and your channel as a patron. Until then, I will watch every video, and every cadeaux video over and over. Thank you, Stephanie! You are sunshine on a rainy say!

Happy Birthday Steve! I simply adore all of the current leading men's taste in all things of grandeur. I need these kinds of men in my life. Keeps life delicious and interesting. Cheers.
