Hello Ryan and Billy, you are two amazing guys, love your conversation about the convent, and Billy doing one of the best jobs in the world, saving beautiful buildings for the future…surrounded by friends, just like you Ryan. Thank you both…
Love you chaps. It is so nice to listen to your talk. You are hard-working, down-to-erath and have the coolest sense of humor I encountered in YT. You got yourself a new subscriver. @Billy - awesome job on the convent! @Ryan - I love you to bits. Your reno journey is so familiar and I do feel for ya sometimes. :) Keep on cracking!
This is one of your best vids. Have you thought of interviewing other chateau owners like this? Very fascinating to hear Billy and your thoughts on renovations etc. Keep doing vids Ryan.
I somehow was introduced to The Petherick’s channel right when the convent project begun. I remember the day Billy got the keys & showed us the inside for the first time. Then came the clearing out of the courtyard… tackling all the overgrowth from many previous years of neglect. Next was working on various rooms in the office area; adding new gates & automatic openers; getting a bell & raising it up into its tower and of course the major remodel of ‘the kitchen’. Now there’s an organ to install plus I know there are bags of cobbles to be laid at some point as well as more work on ‘the garden’ where many fruit trees are still growing. Plus we got a huge ‘bar’ taken from I believe a bank & a library to be done. It’s amazing… I wish I was living across the Big Pond for surely a retired guy like myself would love to come volunteer for a week. Cheers!
Ryan, could you interview Rick, Alex, Yannis and Simon in a similar way about their life story and views about working in the convent. You have an easy style and extract a lot of interesting information from your subject.
Ryan, you’re an AMAZING host. You ask the best questions, help and interject your comments and questions to get your interviewee back on track. Have an uplifting demeanor and more. EXCELLENT job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This was such a lovely video. You're am excellent interviewer, Ryan! It's delightful to hear Billy summarize the near and future plans. I'm so excited to see your news!
Ryan, I haven’t watched you in awhile. Your growth and maturity are evident. The way you commanded this interview with Billy is excellent. You really drew us in and got Billy going. It wasn’t the boyish banter from your earlier videos. Keep up with this format!
I can't wait to hear "the thing" you have to tell us. You are a good interviewer. You ask good questions. Good to see Billy too. Hope to see you back in the apartment working.
Hi Ryan, this was a wonderful relaxed chat, really loved it! Whatever secret you have in the works, I wish you all the very best...you're a wonderful young man! Good to hear that Rick will be back...hope he gets stronger every day! Such a wonderful team Billy has & you are part of that Ryan! It was really nice to see your dad at the Halloween party, he's looking great, hope your parents are both well! Thank you for sharing, take really good care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 🧡🧡🍂🍂🍁🍁🎃🎃
What a great conversation!! Although I am on the West Coast of the US, & unable to travel due to health issues, I feel like I know you both. I send big, warm, Mom hugs!!! Exciting that the new year will see team reunited! I am part of the Sean Fan Club & praying for his health. And Simon & Yannis reuniting!! Billy, you are a VISIONARY. Your vision for the convent, & your ability to build a team, tackle AMAZING projects, all bring me such joy. Many blessings from the US. & Ryan, you are looking fantastic. I have a guess about your news, & am SO excited to find if my guess is correct.
Sean has just been super busy with repairs to another part of their cottage. Rick is who I miss a lot. He is the one who Billy mentioned has had some health issues. Pretty sure I saw him & his wife in the Halloween party clip, & Billy said Rick should be back in the new year. Such a great team!
I've seen the plan for your library, definitely not six months, but however long it takes it will be worth it. Your plans for it are absolutely stunning.👍❤
Ryan, What a wonderful interview. Loved hearing about all the background details and Billy and Gwen's plans for the future. Keep "cracking on" with your apartment renovations. You're doing a fine job. Cheers
Wow, Ryan!! I’m very impressed! You did an absolutely excellent job at interviewing!!! Your questions were well thought out, you set a good pace, and had a great mix of serious and light-hearted questions! One of your best vids!!
Great vlog Billy and Ryan. Really enjoying watching the transformation of the convent and the interest its created. Great team work and looking forward to having the rest of the crew back. I can see it now, Christmas Eve Carole service is music night from the convent Live on You Tube and all the villagers. Just another thought but guess you have already thought it. Stay well.
It is a wonderful dream, a worthy challenge, and it makes a whole lot of people very happy. Having a vision, and bringing it into fruition is a joy too few people get to experience. I love watching your journey with the convent, it is magical. This was a lovely idea for a video Ryan…thanks for sharing this with us.🖤🇨🇦
I so enjoyed your interview with Billy. Billy has done an amazing job with the convent. Ryan, you are doing a great job at renovating your apartment. Looking forward to seeing a video once the apartment is finished.
I enjoyed this video immensely Ryan, you and Billy are both wonderful to listen to. I loved hearing about the plans for the convent and just generally hearing you two talk. Can’t wait to hear what your ‘thing’ is, so curious now! Thanks for this weekend treat.❤️
Best video Ryan! You can act the fool as much as you like but I like your serious stuff - this revealing interview getting Billy’s story in perspective, taking on translations etc. Thanks.
That was great. How about a little series where you chat to each character in turn - Sadie, Mo, Yannis, Michael, Mick and his wife, Steve, Simon, Alex, Phil, etc. I know you think that editing and filming get a bit of a drag at times. Maybe a short chat with each character would lighten the vlogging load now and again.
Im so glad to hear Billy’s planning on doing up the convent for years to come - to see his and your videos everyday pleases me no end. So keep them coming 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you. 5 am, dog barked, can’t get back to sleep and there you are making life better. ♥️. Two great mates having a chat. We are so lucky to be allowed into your world.
Evening Ryan, nice video, as always, your very good at interviewing. Be great to see you back renovating, but I also enjoy you out and about. I'm hoping what I think you reveal is,will be a big adventure, is it that property, I wounder!! Nice one Ryan,see you next time. ❤ Ps, creepy footsteps at that place, I'd love to volunteer, but I couldn't sleep there lol.
Ryan, you have found your calling. You are a brilliant interviewer. You add follow-up questions and a bit of encouragement when conversations dry up. You handled the conversation beaautifully. Perhaps you could include more interviews with some of the locals (ie. Mayor) and Craftpeople working at the Convent. We would love to hear about the lives of many of the folks we see in all the video. What brought them to France? Where did they learn their skills? What do they think of their part in restoring the Convent. Where were they born and/or raised. In the future, perhaps you could interview the people who volunteer at the Convent. And, BTW, can't wait to hear about your new "thing."
Get the bathroom finished and the kitchen you could rent it out for cooking classes or special meals such as different national foods That would bring in some funds as well.
I like that Billy cleaned up the outside of the building first so it's glory is shown. Doing one project at a time ( basically while planning the next) is brilliant. Do one room right then move on. I am looking forward to when he is able to restore the vegetable gardens and can get fruit from the trees and berries from the over grown bushes. The chapel is going to be stunning with the organ in place.
Wow.. happy to hear that the organ might be up and playing by Christmas that would be amazing and a fun thing to do and hear! A Christmas concert at the convent ❤
I look forward every day to your videos you two. I know you think they are boring but what's boring is pretty much being stuck at home and not much to do, lol. I look forward to Ryan starting up on the apartment again.
Thank you guys for bringing us upto date on how things are going in general with the renovations. Been with you from the begining and couldn't believe it's 16 months since taking it on! Doesn't seem that long ago!
Ryan I really enjoyed this video. I like it when you are being real and not goofy and silly. I don't mind a prank/joke every once in a while from you . I also want to say when Billy was a way and you stepped in and did daily videos You were being real and not goofy so I enjoyed watching you then.. Plus in this video you weren't hollering non sense. I hope you do finish the reno of the apartment that your best friend Billy and his beautiful wife Gwendolyn gracefully are letting you live there.. I want to see you finally finish something and find what you are truly wanting out of life instead of jumping from one thing to another and never finishing anything and what you want to be when you grow up career wise. I'll keep watching just to see how you grow as a person and how you grow your channel. Please don't take what I'm saying as me being rude cause it's not meant to be that away. I really do like you and your friendship with the people you surround yourself with. I like seeing your videos of when you visit your family, parents, uncle Lee and I really loved the video of you and your grandmother , need more videos of you and her together. She is a sweetheart and she is real, . Now get busy working on the apartment.. Cause we all want to see you move in it. until next time.. Later.
Billy and Ryan -I'm just so proud of you both .I only wish I could easily be a volunteer at the chateaux - but unless you wanted a resident hermit living in a hut at the back of the garden - I don't think I could,do much .Ryan - looking forward to your news.For now - get back to working in the apartment.😉⭐
Great video🙂. The world seems to be turning into a rather gloomy and scary state at the moment, so a daily dose of Ryan’s videos, The Pethericks and Sean’s World, feel like a soothing antidote. Thank you💕
Great conversation guys! Thoroughly enjoyed it, I think I know what Ryan’s secret is but will say nothing lol! Cheers. The kitchen looks fabulous btw!!💕👍🏼🇨🇦😊
It's so nice that you spend time to let us know little things about yourself, Ryan you do need to get back into your apartment we miss seeing what you are doing
Ryan….tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing you working on your lovely apartment! Guessing….have you proposed to a lovely lady? I can tell by your smile😉🇨🇦
