      I'm glad we got to see Pavlina in the garden, missed her last episode, busy gardening it appears. Apparently she prefers gardening, and painting, over the flower arranging, according to the C.D. comment in last episode when someone asked where Pavlina is. So, it works out great that Marie is doing the flowers and Pavlina is in the garden. I look forward to Marie getting her studio cleaned of soot and perhaps a mirror, which she went next door to the gift shop to be able to see her bouquet from all angles in the mirror that is there.

      ​​​Marie just moved to the boot room also, as it is closer to water and the kitchen. She said she would use the bread room for vloging also. Marie has a new wild flower plot, while Pavlina has a new herb garden, her famous teas and does some of the flowers also. I love their different styles. ❤

    Kirsty is marvellously skilled in sheep shearing, plants and agriculture; she is a real blessing with a lovely personality. The sheep looked adorable, Alyoisious was resistant as always but home safe and sound. Everyone looked very fresh and pretty in Summer dresses. And, as always Percy is dashing, droll and witty and mummy patriarchal, organised and soo loving to the chick's and animals.
    Annalise's hair is gorgeous; she has a stunning smile and is beautiful in her baby blue dress. Philip's dining table decorations and flowers were enchanting; he is so creative and each dining table decoration is unique .
    The village is delightful and uplifting to see the community excited for new buildings and events. Xxxx ❤

    I wish I could forget the opening lines to the Chateau Diaries Stephanie and Philip. I'm a childminder and look after a little boy who is autistic every morning during lockdown ( I was able to look after him due to both parents being essential workers) . he would run in find you tube and find Stephanie's vlog (easy as I watched every day). He would watch the into again and again and again... 😂 never the actual content... He still remembers Stephanie when he sees her face. He actually says Hi I'm Stephanie and he has very restricted speech, so I'm always blown away when it happens. ❤❤😂
    Congratulations on an amazing journey and allowing us to share it with you. What a lovely bunch of people you call your family friends😊❤xx

  • @lorassorkin
    @lorassorkin Před rokem +12

    I'd wondered about the roses. It's possible for rose colors to change a bit with soil minerals, however, a yellow and pink rose going completely white is too drastic for it to be the correct rose. What a shame they aren't as we hoped, but I agree the white does look lovely with the lavender.
    I'm in love with your little village and the events they put on to bring members of the community together. It's my dream to live in a place like this - maybe one day....

Molly’s interest in and temperament with the chicks made me think of the LGD. ❤️🇨🇦

    Hello to all the Chateau family and friends.
    Reminds me of the river running through the Cotswolds and trout floating in the water amongst the water weeds on a beautiful Summer's day.
    Thankyou for sharing your wonderful, beautiful and enchanted life. 😊
