    The life of a Chateaulaine. Well done Ian (plaster), Stephanie and Anmaury for finding and fixing the live wire. Like you said the Château really decides your day for you 😁. I would so love to come and volunteer at LaLande one day. The excitement of all things that are thrown one’s way makes me feel alive and keen to help. The Peachicks are too cute. The gardens around you. Everything is just looking amazing. Well done everyone 🤗

    I am envious of your people who work on the fabric of the chateau. We used local workers when we first had our little house twenty years ago, but the standard of the work was very poor. We have now found a friend who has developed all the skills he used in England to do some really good work for us. All we need now is money ! WE have found a wonderful couple who are taming the garden. The last gardener cut down all my apricot trees !

Fingers crossed for Hansel and Gretel. The sheer joy in Pavlena's face when she held one. So endearing and then guests coming back as volunteers. What's not to like 🙂

    Corgette, or Zucchini makes a wonderful bread great for entertaining, and it can be frozen for up to 6 months. Great with mixed in items like nuts, cherries, raisins, currants, chocolate chips. I peel and seed, then run through the food grinder on my Kitchenaid. There are recipes all over for every level of skill from beginner to chef. I freeze pulp for mid winter fresh baking. The smell fills the house beautifully.

    The big courgettes (we in Australia call them Zucchini). Cut in half lengthwise, scrape out the middle bits (which will have big seeds in, and feed to your chickens. They will love and thrive on them!) Then stuff the hollowed out zucchini/courgettes. There is many a things you can use to stuff them with and bake, and always topped with cheese. Then cut into individual portions. YUM...Maria cooking a cake with them was a good idea, moist cake always.

    Maybe you could also get some thick warm robes to have at the chateau. It is lovely to find such a thing on ones bathroom door when one arrives to ones room. True the robes shown in this video is perfect for the summer and cool to wear. It doesnt do much for covering 'see throughness', but that is adapted, when one wearing it, i am sure.
