Consistency is better than perfection.

I'm absolutely stunned as to the level of knowledge you have Michael. I joined The Pethericks just before Billy bought the Convent and so have been watching everything - but as I see your input, you are by far my favourite 'character' in the real life 'Soap' and as such I have been finding your chanel with past videos for a quality of entertainment that is really not matched at all on terrestrial TV. Thank you for all the interesting videos - and for sharing. your skills, knowledge and personality.

A beautiful cottage with Michael stamped all over it. Every little detail is so cool......

It’s so warm and cozy being in the kitchen of the cottage. You have it looking like it’s always been that way. It’s just a piece of art. The warmth of the wood, the wall color, all the copper and of course the icing on the cake, the blue & white dishes!!! I can feel the warmth of the stove and smell the jam all the way to the USA! Please include some of the cottage in every video. Can’t wait for the stairs to go in. ❤️

Outstanding intro Michael!! I see great potential for a series if children’s story books. Bertie’s Adventures at a French Chateau? Food for thought. Your photography, sound, musical scoring, content and editing skills are superior. Andrew is doing a fantastic job, congratulations to both of you. The jam looks and sounds delicious. Thanks🙏🏻❤️

The opening was like a fairytale movie!!! So beautiful and enchanting! Your jam sounds wonderful! Thank you for the history lesson, too!

Thank you Michael this episode was lovely and I appreciate you sharing your recipe

Great intro Michael and it's so good to see you enjoying the lovely kitchen in the cottage.

Loved watching you make that jam! It sounds delish ❤️ Your ways of explaining each step is amazing and I could almost taste it!!! See you soon

Wow! The chateau is beautiful lit up at night. You must enjoy the late evenings to work as do I. Your jam will be so good. Thanks for filming your jam making session. I have never made any jams or jellies so it was a very informative session for me. Thanks, Michael 😊

This is hands down one of my favorites!!!!! Your kitchen is absolutely gorgeous.

Love every minute of this royal vlog. And the creating of this royal jam was an enchanted time. Will definitely try that soon. Thanks for this wonderful vlog and recipe. ❤❤❤

Love your videos - this one was even more meditative than usual for me. Thank you for sharing your life at the cottage and in the chateau. ❤️

Amazing intro!!!!!!!! Loved the video!!!!! 😊⭐️🏰❤️ Beautifully edited and filmed … loved the crickets in the night scenes ❤️

loved loved loved the video! thank you Michael, sending love💕💕💕

If you are serious about writing that cookbook personally I think that is a fabulous idea. You might consider making a few watercolor paintings of your cottage, garden, kitchen within the cookbook, and perhaps a few pictures of yourself also included. Create the book and put it on your vlog and put it for sale, people can download it - just like that artist friend of Stephanies has done with her art that one can purchase and download. I think you could have yourself a little gold mind. Its really a pleasure to see how far you have come in that last month(s), continued good fortune to you.

Such a fun thing to do. Delicious jam made in a fun atmosphere.

Yes please !!!! This jam would make a great nite cap on toast going to bed 😀 you may well have a hangover in the morning 👌👌👌loved this video Michael and Andrew makes a great camera man 👌👌❤❤❤❤

Your intro was such a stunning audio-visual! Enjoyed the rest of the vlog too - well done!!

I am glad to see you working at what you love again

What a treat on a Wednesday morning! I love these cooking and general life vlogs just as much as the renovation vlogs. I think anybody who has done work in their home over a number of months would be burned out by it so glad to see you taking a break and getting back to your other interests of late. Suggestion, any of these long life items you make you should get a small hamper together and give it away to a subscriber or Patreon at Christmas. Maybe an original water colour in there as well.

OMG. The intro photography is stunning….as is the music…. Ive watched it twice…..!

This is such a beautiful jam recipe, so enjoyed the video thank you.

The jam sounds and looks delicious. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

I could listen to you all day! Brilliant !!

Oh I am going to have to make this!!!!! Yummy!!!! I love the lantern Michael... Such a nice touch! And yes, thank you for the history!!!! You are great Michael! I am so glad to see you and Andrew so happy!!!! Love you guys! 💕

I have binge watched your content in the past two weeks and always thought I knew you, and couldn't say why. It just came to me, you look like Justin Timberlake, like a twin. You have great performance skills. You really do present yourself and edit beautifully. This episode has been so ejoyable.

Thank you for sharing the video and all the little tidbits of fun facts too!

Omg that jam so rich in colour flavour with a punch inspired by a king and put in jars ready for gifts so enjoyed your jam making vlog Michael I’m sure your mum dad and family will love 😍😍Don’t forget to save a jar for Isabelle and Stephanie tres bien perfecto😍❤️👌

It's hard to follow someone who won't show up 🤔😪 does anyone know what's going on?

Wonderful Michael ! enjoyed every second xxx

Wow! Brilliant beautiful B-roll intro! It's back baby!

Your videography is so beautiful!!❤️. Shots that show your artistic soul. I'm so happy that you are sharing your world with us again. Thanks.

What a wonderful video start to finish! The opening was very evocative and made me feel like I was there! I loved the demonstration of the jam along with the historical aspects. You are such a natural engaging host and I think Andrew's the best camera man you have ever had. It all comes together to make the perfect combination.

This was fab to watch. Enjoying while reclining in bed at 2 o'clock in the morning. When you put the spoon in the jam to taste I yell "oh no dont do that. " I was sure you were going to burn your mouth. How did you pull that off. You are fun to watch. Never a dull moment. Isabelle would be impressed. Top this Stephanie and Isabelle. You are the best hand washer ever. You are excellent teaching jam preservation. I am making mixed berry jam at the weeks end. I have never made victoria sponge cake. Is it like Angel food cake in America. I like a not so sweet berry coulis with my cakes. How about you. Splendid fun watching you create in the kitchen.

You are so talented and intelligent!! I loved this vlog-watching you at your best, sharing some amazing fun facts---you blew my mind about the sugar!! I love learning new things. Enjoy that jam-sounds DEE-LISH!!!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Michael!!

Michael the shots of the Chateaux was absolutely beautiful. I’m going to make the delicious jam for sure. Thank you 🙏 again for wonderful video.

Looks and sounds delicious! I made blackcurrant jam this year and added a little cassis and elderflower cordial to fancy it up. Flavour is great. Must try your recipe too!!

That jam looks absolutely delicious!!!!

Brilliant, Michael. Thank you so much for sharing. ox

Michael I would love to watch you cook all the time specially with that big auger

Aaah la petite musique et le champagne 🥂… cette confiture semble incroyablement aromatisée !! J’ai hâte de voir le gâteau avec cette royale confiture ! 😉 🌸🌸🌸

Hello Michael! Just wondered if that royal jam put you into a coma? LOL taking some time off for a while for a relax? Just letting you know I miss you. I look every day. I really hope all is well with you and you’re OK. Sending love from California🥰💜🇺🇸

Middle of the night here, couldn't sleep so went to You Tube and found you making elegant jam. The opening scenes leading to your cottage window, seeing your cozy kitchen, lit in the dark night, drew me in to the jam making adventure. I would love to taste it.

That was fun! Thanks Michael 😊😋

Captivating! This was so great!

Just blooming lovely 🥰🥂

Lovely episode thank you, and the intro was superb!

Really,really fun Michael , I have raspberries in my garden I think I will make your lovely jam for Christmas! Love all the history you shared. 🍾

Lovely recipe Michael, great vlog!

Looks very yummy! Thank you!

The jam looks and sounds lovely. I'm from the Willamette Valley in Oregon USA and I've made jam with great grandmother, grandmother and mother over the years. We always used a funnel to keep the jam from making a mess. I've never heard of using butter to reduce the foam. We always removed the foam with a large spoon. Thanks for the wonderful recipe and the butter tip.

what a lovely surprise this evening, I didn't expect another vlog out for a while, so glad you're continuing, the jam looks great. The vlog from start to finish was amazing with the music choices and the many views you have shared

Looks and sounds lovely.

Wonderful vlog. I so enjoyed it and will be making some of that jam.

Who ever filmed the video needs an award , really nice done. Plus the music

Your intro was like a Disney fairy tale movie! They should hire you to edit their movies. Also love all the cooking tips. You inspired me to use my mixer and make cookies.

Fantastic video, the lamp is beautiful 😍

Wow that was spectacular. Always wanted to know what to do with all my blackberries and raspberries. I’m going to try this. Thanks so much! Oh I adore all of the blue and white in your kitchen!

That looks delicious.. great job.

Another sheer delightful faberooo vlog 😊😊😊🧡💛💚...

Beautiful intro! Your home is so beautiful at night!

Glad to see you took my advise for a lovely intro! 😉👍
