    I think the idea of saving a pair of donkeys is great! And they would be great for taking care of the grass.
    Happy château anniversary! May you enjoy it many years to come! Keep the great work bringing it to life!

    Happy anniversary. The table setting was very beautiful. I would love if Patrick could share more German recipes; having happily lived and worked in Hiedelberg and a hamlet near Trier for several years when younger, I loved the food, especially the cakes!!.. I do hope you can rehome a couple or few donkeys soon. I could not help but wonder how many of those donkeys with stickers on thier rumps, might end up bought by the meatmen, and even worse than French Abattoirs, could be facing a long journey without food or water, to Italy, where they are destined to become salami. I didn't rate the chances of the poor old boy with the floppy ears having a happy ending. Thank heavens for people like you who can step in to offer the well deserved retirement home that the previous owners who worked them into old age SHOULD be providing them with.

    Good morning Everybody - It was so cold yesterday, cloudy and rain, but today it is sunshine and a lovely video, my day is made! It is lovely to see you all, the dinner party was a huge success, all that should have been there, attended. The table was set lovely, and the food looked delicious. You have excelled yourselves in the kitchen once more and the cake looked gorgeous, wow. Oh I so loved to see those donkeys. They are such beautiful animals, they deserve a lot more attention and love in comparison to what they get, in general. They all looked in very good condition, their coats were lovely, good colour and their eyes were so gentle. They sure loved the loving attention, and it would be great to save a couple, they are perfect for the chateaux grounds so also a goat or two. Then again, we should only keep what we can handle, too many becomes too much. It was lovely sharing with you and Stuart. Angela always looks so relaxed and content. Many blessings.

    Just catching up! The dinner looked scrumptious! I love dressing up tables when guests come over. Denise did a beautiful job. It would be wonderful to see donkeys at the chateau. What beautiful animals they are. I get very triggered Patrick when I hear that animals are treated cruelly, and it’s just inhumane that they are sent to a slaughter house once their usefullness is over.Only humans conduct such horrific cruelty. Anyway! Enough of such darkness. Yes! Definitely adopt donkeys! How wonderful! Another great vlog Stuart!

They will make great neighbors. Angela is such a sweetie. I got to ask....did Jane think someone was going to steal her purse because she wore it all through dinner?

    Your dining room is exquisite. The light, the table, the alcoves .. all your choices so far are so elegant. That dinner looked incredible. My mother has made that asparagus soup before, but it’s been decades. But I remember it from when I was a little girl. She’s from Berlin, where I was also born. That opera cake-it very literally made my mouth water. And I love the idea of the donkey sanctuary! I can’t imagine sending those sweet animals to slaughter house 😢.

    What a delightful celebratory evening at the chateau! Good food, spirits, and the lively art of conversation. The last bit of the senence is a steal from Chicago's very own Irv Kupcinet. Remembering staying up late Saturday night to watch b&w tv and learn which celebrities joined Irv in studio. A more gentile time many years ago. Congratulations on your first anniversary at the chateau!! In love with donkeys. Just learned that donkeys are used as livestock guardians, predators beware of braying and possibility of a swift kick. Their eyes are soulful and have such expressive ears. Thank you for sharing your adventures in France.
