It's finally happened - after two months of lockdown I left the chateau on an awfully big adventure and went to collect Michael Petherick at the Chateau de la Basmaignee. It's so amazing to be reunited! We have lots to celebrate, as we haven't seen each other for months and in that time he's launched his incredibly successful YouTube channel @Doing It Ourselves Before jumping into the car to get Michael, I have updates from Dan the Gardener and Ian the Builder re progress in the chateau and gardens, and Antoine and I open lots of lovely, thoughtful parcels! From now on, parcel opening will always be in the Tuesday vlogs :)
