    One thing I truly admire about you, Julie, is that you have guts! You’re not afraid to try anything. Getting into the 17th century bath with all the muck on the bottom??? I sure couldn’t have done it, lol! 🌸🌸

    Luke is every so helpful to you Julie with all of the "helpful" advice. And he kept a straight face as well. That stiff upper lip that the Americans claim the Brits have and all came into play. Do we get the blooper reel of this at some point? And ps, the Bath should be drained and cleaned before the pool. It would be interesting to see how deep it really it.

    Hi Julie, I recently saw a program where the owners of a French château renovated what looked like a very similar structure to your Queen's bath-house, retaining walls and all. There wasn't much left of theirs and it was all overgrown and ruined, but the 'pool' was quite similar. It had previously been a laundry-washing place, where the household's bed linens etc could be cleaned away from prying eyes. Perhaps this was its C17th purpose (if the Queen didn't actually frolic there)? Lovely episode, thank you for sharing Mapperton 🌿

    If you look at the Chateau Love episode with Vivienne decorating the inside pool area, you will see a pool that you don't have to clean. That is after you get the "expensive" but disgusting mud out. They use oxygenated water which is very healthy to drink and swim in. The apparatus is quite small. You'll just have to take the leaves and sticks out. Love your videos.
