peninsula we're located in silicon valley where a two-bedroom fixer-upper can cost close to one million dollars depending on the address just think one could purchase a chateau in france for that

husband and i follow you since you appeared on the program with angel and dick strawbridge and later on youtube and let me say you have such a variety of topics you report on that it is a joy and great entertainment for both of us to watch even if only for the dancing in the kitchen we've lived abroad too when we were younger and also worked abroad and as a teenager i spent all my holidays with a lovely family near paris the french language was my third language after english but was my absolute favorite and the french culture was like a lively escape from a very sheltered rather strict upbringing in a small city in germany the lovely french family formed me quite a bit and certainly broadened my views the openness we see with all of you at leland as well and it's very encouraging to see so many different people from different countries cultural backgrounds and also of different generations living and working together because they choose to we're aware that you run a business at the chateau however in the same time it seems like a new living model and it seems to work out very well it really does we wish you all a beautiful autumn well thank you we did have a good water we've had a pretty mild winter and now we're heading into a lovely spring it's been very lovely warm regards from germany ps the peacock motif is called practicabfow translates to the magnificent peacock and it is an extract from the textile wallpapers of the new palette from approximately 1865 of the prussian king frederick the great as an additional palace built on the grounds of the well-known lovely schloss son susie we were talking about songs yesterday i can't remember why but just yesterday we read the name somewhere i think it was a title yes you did and i thought it might bring you all joy it also seemed to fit your ongoing interest in the four ian's and the cup is big enough for a lovely german couple english tea in la belle france in the upcoming cooler season the matches are long enough to light a fire in the chimney and the matching coasters are to protect your lovely old furniture that sets the scene for a comfortable afternoon in autumn i think honestly i think it sets the scene for a very comfortable afternoon in spring too let's have a look these are the matches with peacocks on and they are beautiful we always need matches yes always we can never find them we're always looking everywhere where are the matches but the match is down i think people know how matches are but can you show me that yes oh i'm sorry but i like the but the size is that's going to be kept very safe right yes to be your personal stash in here i've got new match discipline yes it's a new me no match for the rest of us oh you didn't literally nope i love the way you always look to nature when you make a pun because really i can tell but i heard that well it's good or not sometimes i don't get it like now oh look at the size of the mug it matches your wrist it does it looks really good with this robe it's beautiful i have a new convalescence mug i love it i really love it i like the little flower inside yes did you see there's a little flower on the inside it's so pretty so so pretty you can go next to paddington i've decided it's paddington okay yes you laughing at me philip yes always yes real difficulty getting into this one just because you want to keep the paper what for exactly just yes yes going to be really happy it's the marzipan chocolates from lubeck these are delicious it looks beautiful i really like these maybe we should try one soon don't you think yeah you look amazing this is such fun i can feel myself getting better ah it matches oh wow napkins it matches the matchboxes as well and yes and the matchbox it matches it matches the match that was a good one wow so many kids is so exciting i didn't really like the wrapping the wrapping paper is really pretty so i'm going to reuse it though so just tear it okay do you want to help me with this one sure turn that one right pen the coasters match too that's the umbrella in the car um i love umbrellas oh i love it when we went to miu so yeah absolutely it should live in the car and look it's everything man and i can i can put this on a matching coaster i really love this in argentina they will stay everywhere come on i don't believe in the things yeah beautiful solar land you're basically holding it open so it doesn't count as open yeah your hand's still there it doesn't count as that's exactly do you believe or not i don't believe in it but well just in case yeah exactly we're on the safe side in dutch we have a saying called that means like if it doesn't matter uh it doesn't hurt you okay i love it and i think it's a great idea we'll keep it in the car it's a great size it's so pretty it's very la land christiane and mark thank you you've given us so much joy i love everything that you've sent i know i'm going to be using this mug a lot and i'm also quite curious about the

you're prepared for the next one always did you feel better now maybe we finished no no i'll do one more it was an amazon gift so the notice just thank you stephanie love your videos it seems you're missing a gnome and fairy doors at your chateau all the best wailing banshee whaley banshee i saw this comment from you yesterday in the live chat you have just become a dolphin of leland and you left the loveliest loveliest comment and in it you also mentioned that you had sent a gnome and some furry door so i've been very curious yeah well yeah i didn't know i think i didn't see the comment yet is that a fairy door yeah is it a door for actual fairies it would be amazing easter and we're going to the forest to find the eggs and then what a brilliant idea yeah laura was saying that it makes her really happy when she hears me reading out wailing banshee yeah as her name at the end of on the credits um because she believes that we should just make the most of life and everything should be magical and whimsical and fun which i completely agree with laura and so yes we needed a fairy door whenever i go to a different woods around the world in my trips i always loved the fairy doors i've never seen them before i did they're different it's so cute it's for two fairies i think one fairy is called isabelle oh really it has a name no no but because it's got the watching can this one this one's got mushrooms this is for more of a cook i suspect marie yeah maybe marie yes i think you're right we should put these on trees that we know will go past in the easter egg hunt and people will see it they'll be magical it's really cute i love them right well let's see the uh gnome i mean they have been known to be adorable [Music] you always look at me like no no all right okay this is a two-person gnome extraction process i'm in oh i didn't know i was a known person i'll be honest i didn't know i didn't know i didn't i am a known person i realize now because look at this yeah oh hang on i think that yeah so i think that it won't come on yet because it hasn't been near any light so we probably will have to she puts it outside the gardener's cottage because it's got the actually that's quite cute outside the gardener's cottage but i definitely think he needs to be on the path during the easter egg hunt as well you can't have that without him no i'm with you because he's got a little shovel sorry thank you very very much uh you've just made our words more magical oh it's from wales oh it's from wales it's really pretty wrapped look at that this is for selma oh it's so

tools instead of a desk chair let's see inside i do want to say something you might notice that the pelmet's gone from my bedroom and that's because i've been spending so much time in my room recently and i realized that a i have to redecorate from scratch and b the helmet was blocking too much light so fill it very kindly at my request ripped it down for me it's felt correct yeah yeah it was quite dramatic right but didn't damage anything and i'm really happy to have more light coming in i just need to change those rods because yeah then i'll get beautiful curtain poles instead so i'm going to redo everything look amazing where is this from united kingdom there's lots of things in here with a superb peacock unique that's you hi stephanie hope you like the card it seems that the message is very appropriate to you take care karen and tony i love the card hi stephanie isabelle friends and volunteers like most others who have written to you me and my husband want to say a big thank you for keeping our spirits raised during lockdown and thereafter it's so lovely to see all the beautiful gifts and thoughtful presents that you all receive on a regular basis well we do feel so lucky yeah it's still surprising every week when we do this we really enjoy seeing all the work that's going on at the chateau the brilliant ideas that are shared the friendliness and the camaraderie we've recently during lockdown been decorating our house and we know how much hard work time and toil goes into it nowhere near the project you have on your hands did she said 12. yeah isn't t-o-i-l-e ah okay yeah that's funny and now a whole new route of puns for friends we're not sure if the fabric from these cartons would be of any use to you so it could be 12. also believe a real pulse free or perhaps the larger curtains may be of use as a door curtain we remember in one of your videos that you mentioned how no one closed the door leading to the kitchen so you put a door curtain up to try to keep it warmer which worked really well actually however that is for you to decide hopefully the fabric will be of use if not we wouldn't be offended if you gave it away we've added some biscuits to the box so that they can be shared with everyone looks amazing chocolate carry pack take her love and best wishes to all karen and tony robinson thank you what what biscuits are they hmm look at these flavors do we have chocolate oat crumbles light and chocolatey viennese wilds oh and dark chocolate gingers come with a little look at the um [Music] that's the ingredients maybe we'll have to go through each one we'll have to open it up here we go that's how to do it yeah such elegance such oh those are lovely are they beautiful winter salon yeah very well in the garden too very very nicely i think there's more so beautiful oh great wow there's four oh they're going to be gorgeous in there thank you and then there's a little fabric [Laughter] always say that you can stay in bed so this is a pear actually one fell down so this is it this is a pair this length we can do a lot with this fabric i think if sean hadn't already had the fabric for the bridgeton dresses i know that would have been for the men actually for the coats yeah yeah and this could be more i think it's more of the same yeah yeah have a look these are much longer much longer yeah there's one short pair and one long pair because there's the other half in there just beautiful fabric yeah it's great i'm sure we will find somewhere to use these and the cushions we know can go into the grand salon yeah maybe some uh chair can you tell with this yes that could we could upholster a chair that could be really nice and then use the longer ones as door curtains or just a pair of chairs well we could do a pair of chairs anyway because we have two of the shorter cartons yeah sounds good it'll be really pretty oh karen and tony i love these thank you so much it's really thoughtful of you to send them all this way we will sit and eat the biscuits and work out where you should go yes we need the biscuits now how are you going to tweet them you can have a little no you should have a little taste i love

review dear stephanie we hope this finds you and everyone at chateau de la land keeping safe and well my colleague miles has been watching your vlog for quite some time they told me all about your story and the films you make so i had a look and i could see why they've become so hooked what a wonderful adventure yours is i work for suffolk art link an arts charity based in suffolk uk we can see just how much you value beauty and art and like us see what positivity being creative can bring to people's lives our creative projects aim to help people transform their lives through the arts and are delivered in places including community centers hospitals and hospices residential homes refuges and schools having spent some of your life in your parents care home in suffolk you will know how much being creative can benefit older people including those living in care homes and in rurally isolated areas actually my parents employed someone called peter a really lovely woman who was just there to do art with the residents yeah it is incredibly helpful yeah it's a great idea we love to bring old and young people together to be creative and enjoy each other's company using art as a way of developing new skills and passions as well as creating new and valuable connections with each other in the tradition of sending gifts to the team at the chateau we wanted to send a few little presents which feature designs created by some of our students and participants we've included a tea towel featuring an artwork entitled be weird created by paul boasts being blue and white we thought it would go well with a lot of this food in the kitchen and the farm that goes on there we're also sending you a print a brown dog by colin brinkley given how much selma and diesel are part of the chateau diaries how could we not both the tea towel and print have been designed by students who are part of our arts courses for people with learning disabilities we hope you love them as much as we do and now that i've had a sneaky peek into shadow life over there in france thanks to miles i will look forward to your future vlogs best wishes rachel murray this is very exciting well i think this must be the tea towel yeah okay so the tea towel is entitled be weird and it's by paul boast yeah it's a great name it's a great title straight away be weird oh that is good oh that is really good be
