like bit of tobacco tobacco yes because we've been to the airport we've been through torrential rain storms beautiful sunshine we've had the whole lot you see ah this is what we were meant to get yesterday and instead we got 26 degrees in beautiful sunshine but it's the same here yeah it was amazing yeah it was such a beautiful day yesterday I was never in there I'm back in two seconds I'm excited to see what's in there the day before um no it's not raining it's raining it's not raining yeah and now put it away for two days and that day prior I look that's when I said to Jane it's not raining yeah tomorrow yeah what time you said all along it wasn't going to rain Tony was convinced it was never gonna happen thank you very welcome that would be Patrick [Applause] he's very good at bars great it's so pretty and I had a project early 80s yes and it was supposed to be a plate so I always love when so and then your love for people it's like yeah [Laughter] this is the one I can see oh you made this yeah I designed the that was the the 12 digit that I created on our Vlog and I had it made into a plate it is a beautiful food you have to look at this I can't believe you made this you designed it the childish ways it looks exactly well not exactly but it looks it looked like the wallpaper that we yeah oh it might have to go in that room then peacock in the Olive Tree I was going to ask what tree it was yeah I could see the fruits I know you're going to be selling it and stuff we could print on it yeah they have one room that's called The Library that was the old office it's not a true library but we have hundreds of documents that go back to 15. they're just and it's all about I mean we have a wedding contract from 1760 something that's amazing history yes and and we're missing all of that hair yeah it's they did they take it no they didn't they had stored it in the attic and the previous owners went to get the archives and found they'd all be eaten by mine 19th century figure out what the kitchen was yeah you've discovered a lot because that's what I've tried with like limited resources uh but it's just such a shame it would be so great to have we've got so many questions though you know like so many discoveries have made so there are some Clues there it's a bit like when we we actually had to dig up the floor to because of your new cooker Antonio you're not going down this big hole in the floor so there's a there's a complete cave or Cellar somewhere around on the floor in the kitchens now uh we were a little worried because I mean and this this was like this bigger one like this big yeah so sweet yeah and so anyway and it was at nighttime yeah and so the dogs were like really interested they weren't doing very interesting so Patrick saw and he's like I'll come out here that's the one out there and it was you know just never saw it in anything but the little ball the round ball and we sort of uh took it moved it to a safer part of the courtyard and then got some cat food put a little plate out and put it next to it and they were like we're out there with a flashlight pitch black out there yeah and so then Patrick and I stand back and we're like remember oh this is after the fire when they were trying to remodel the place a little bit and that it says uh ocean Cuisine so we know that that is the old kitchen and it's fantastic in the 19th century maybe not the 15th century kitchen we can't go in at the moment can we yeah wow yeah but you can tell that they focused all of their funds yes we do on the chapel Villages this is still um yeah yes it is yours is isn't it yeah yes there's nothing like that I think it's good I'd be nice it might was consecrated they didn't do that but we have we have the invitation one um write-up about our Chateau which is the the chapel was consecrated in 1644 so someone actually did go to the effort to do some research is some of this new no why is this got SJ so it is for Stephanie Jarvis yeah and shoot no I'm kidding no but I mean that's obviously what I'm thinking it's for Saint Joseph yeah Sandstone varieties hold up much much better than others look if you look at that one that's perfect yeah you look at that one oh no no one's not that's such a shame isn't it you're right this is so sharp yeah some of this and then yeah it's uh it's really and uh the Old Stone amazing they can they they looked at the stone and they knew it would hold up well all right and I mean I look at this and go gets notes the um who were doing the the survey for all the painting yeah they work for them now I've got to have a look yes and they said that some of her paintwork is better than the side chapters of Notre Dame so we were very uh it is fluid you can tell that they were royalists yes and and um let me have a look what they're all looking at it's a bit dark you might not be able to see oh yeah gypsum reproduction of that one but so she was actually standing on the on the heat of things um the radiator thank you German French and and gentry inside yes please I want to show you so many things I don't know actually one of my favorite views walk around I don't know oh wow hang on let me get down a bit that's okay I'll manage I should have put my Wallets on I'll walk him in the woods in the land in the forest should I say oh it smells amazing it's just been raining and get that fresh Earth smell right um and there's so many more that need to go but look at this is the area that he's like sort of cleared yeah and it feels much healthier and more like yes because there was um that they planted Pines as a crop so then when they didn't take them away they started killing the actual important trees here yes this is um I could not find the bedroom on okay I know where we want to plant and Tony had seen that we actually have to use the Crowbar to get into the world you did that's here didn't you yeah Emily had to get the hammer drill to plant some of these plants yes the ground's so hard it's full of Rock right oh is this a secret entrance I don't know but yeah so questions yeah hang on I can go that way thank you would you like to see inside or outside I'd love to see you inside I'd like to spend the whole week here but obviously not at some point yeah family who owned it had a debt and then I think she only for a bit they got it back in the end so this is the windows tunnel that's what we call it now but it's the original billiard room [Music] apartment for now it might not stay there long term still trying to find a good spot for us everything is working for us really I mean it truly it has to yeah um they change their minds because for example you've got the the Hall of Mirrors which is based on the Apollo Salon from uh Felipe Miss Broadway yes a little bit jealous so I just decided to copy it yes but I mean look they've already created as well oh it's it's fantastic the um [Music] one that is um this is this painting here isn't it this is made into the wallpaper and Steve from Anna Omega yeah he's a graphic designer so he reconfigured it yeah but you wouldn't normally think of putting a picture that size in a small room but it's brilliant light switches aren't they oh it's time to look at the light switches right [Laughter] can I go in wow yeah but the lights with the personal life switches we have some of them right that is absolutely amazing the effect is incredible they are so different from yeah all right just press right for example like the the flimsy new one okay they're new but uh I mean the breads are really genius in reproduce reproducing um things and all that yes but you have a second video of actually water air type insulated so look at this fit and then that's exactly the same as we have yeah that's been added to these doors that makes sense yeah some of these but there's another set of the country it's the same it's like yes foreign [Applause] [Music] so lovely little details like the little shape on the top of this little this little window here it's gorgeous [Music] you're trying to make this work when I have jeans and sweatpants in a stack this High yeah yeah and a bit of hanging details um so [Applause] um excuse me I think it was really lovely actually so I think it's amazing yeah very nice you want to do something like this don't you yes yeah we do a lot of rock hunting we love it well that's really pretty it's just because I had bought so many different things and what we originally didn't know I was going to stay here right because I didn't and then I did end up moving here but I bought so many things like sets for six for example and then it turns out that you know so mistake is not very useful it is very true yeah have you I mean for me you use all these coffee cups and tea customers no one actually uses them anymore yes so we have the which one we have so many coffee cups well we did use it when Jay came for we did but that was the one time we actually used this uh actually they are the ones who bought Royal Albert and Royal Challengers and then they went into yeah and the Irish government they saved uh right so a lot of things I'm not sure just for decoration what is it that they're made on um they're beautiful all of this is now it's just I want to buy things and then that's the idea it's cool just sitting up there in the Sun isn't they sorry it's just amazing look at the film him now the side it's just amazing basically the window yeah this is amazing oh wow I'd love to pick something oh it's so gorgeous because there's a bit of roof I'd love to put some uh solar panels on them yeah that would be a good idea completely hidden and this has got the sunlight the entire day yeah and then we bought a um uh like a gazebo yeah and then the chickens are there my favorite one is Beethoven he's just outside so that was Nancy that one's Catwoman uh Catwoman is actually the Cockrell yeah Nancy is the The Fluffy one yeah the castle is there and the back is coming out oh and then the little one here behind Catwoman the gray one that's so cute Beethoven yeah that's like because of the hair oh Einstein it's like that I have actually land uh they have actually chickens like that right now I think we bought her from from Dragon Land I think chicken Sanctuary we're gonna eat that chicken oh No Just for example I used to have chickens and dogs but that was only ever for the eggs right I would love to have dogs yeah so the other two towers are um 19th century uh 1860 and then that one is way older but how old I can't tell you at least it almost looks chappalesque doesn't it it's so weird with the Dome look at it but no one knows what it is we think it's just a fully probably but it looks quite funny main actor will talk yeah [Music] no glass no gobbins but not us crown and the Fleur de leaf [Music] thank you
