Oh What a Day!!! The chateau is alive with industry and our fairytale plans are coming to life before our eyes! Ian the Builder starts working in the house, Selmar makes great progress on the new vegetable beds, Dan the Gardener works miracles in the potager, Mummy rejoices over a delivery of, um ,dirt, and I make a very exciting announcement about our Patreon account! Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ ???? This channel follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️ We show you what life is like in an ancient chateau in the heart of the French lockdown, and the creative crafts and activities that we’re turning to, to make the most of this period of enforced relaxation. A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. As you can imagine, your help means more to me now than ever. Because of you, I'll be able to keep living at Lalande and making videos even without our chambres d'hotes income during lockdown! I’ve been overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!
