You Tube Monday: the Adventures of Billy


There are some amazing content creators on YouTube.  People who create content, largely for the fun of doing so, sharing their lives often in first person and very personal, and they earn a little along the way.  Far from what Hollywood demands to be paid, but as one put it, enough to pay the rent.  One of my regulars is The Pethericks  Some background to save you watching hours of videos.  Billy is engaged to Gwen, and Gwen has a trust fund. Many of their combined family are involved.  They have largely restored a chateau, and are not taking on renovating a convent (the video below is the day they committed to buying the convent.) There are several channels, but I like this one best. They post at least weekly, often daily.  I love his attitude, his outlook on life, and the challenges.  These are not idle rich, they are people with money working hard to preserve and bring new life to amazing spaces.  And life in rural France  is a bit of a fantasy for me.
