THE CHATEAU DIARIES: TREASURE!!!!

[Music] hi I'm Stephanie and this is my home the sixteenth century château de la la-la land was owned for hundreds of years by a family of marquis who were at the heart of french royal life one of them even had the honour of being sent by King Louie the fifteenth to greet Marie Antoinette on her arrival in France but far from being a stuffy Museum this Chateau is a living home I live here all the time and I'm regularly joined by my mother my family my friends and wonderful volunteers from all over the world who helped me to lovingly restore this historic home welcome to Lalande a chateau filled with life love and laughter you're as pretty as a picture are you planting your new seeds I certainly am I have been going mad Oh show me what's happening in here I was just about to climb the beetroot some of them I have planted the peas the Mauser 2 and I planted out I've worked outside and I'm a bit tired so I came to work well know if you're a bit tired mummy that's your body telling you ship begin inside have a little lie-down yes mummy a little Lighthouse wait for no one well mummy your body will wait for no one if you don't look after it oh look at the height of the letters yes they're going to and look how much how many roses i yet have two oh yes I'm reaching for the put things to put on top I've got about 20 out fantastic well this is as good a place to tell you as any as it's your domain are you immediately look worried whenever I say there's news you immediately oh my daughter what that doesn't mean it has to be bad news but I'm preparing myself we have a thousand patrons for the Chateau Diaries oh my and thousand people around the world helping us here can you believe it silly boy you are magical no it's the Chateau mummy it's it's it's not it's not me who's magical it's the people around the world who are helping us who are magical well it's not absolutely very very true it is incredible well done darling thank you thank you thank you people around the world as you can see I'm not changing my lifestyle a broccoli made a whole bed is unwise but I didn't touch the other bed really so I made the whole bed of broccoli is better to mix things I will see how I can so I will see how a little touch of cabbages and more peas I say and no flowers you see I put a flower at the edge at the end of each one that's very sweet I'd put more and hasn't Selma done a beautiful job is that the cuttings yes actually I want to change a shade more than all of the beautiful roses from Bimini I do hope I get a few out of them have you seen the most beautiful rose in the world has suddenly appeared in our Rose bed come and have a look it's beautiful either you haven't seen this it's literally the prettiest rose ever and has just suddenly appeared it's never come out before has it it was just so tiny last year yes having fed them well mommy it worked look at that Rose I'm going to you I'm gonna do what mummy usually does I'm gonna jump the hedge and show you the rose it's so pretty I can't stop laughing when I look at it just in glee well try hang on heavenly mummy heavenly oh there she goes it's like the Grand National that one's a real keeper isn't it the reason mummy and I had no idea what race that was is we bought a job lot of mismatched roses we had no idea what they were and that's why it's a complete higgledy-piggledy mismatch in these birds but we like that so we didn't mind the fact that the birds wouldn't be color-coordinated an earnest is surprised to see what we've got it needs menu yes mulching well we have a gardener now things are moving what about these that's a lovely one I think that's the only one whose name I think I remember I think it's Aloha but I could be wrong lovely scent gee I don't think that was in our job lot I think we got that one separately you see help of the compost heap this was the compost heap yes it was and if you seed he's going to like it there because leave it yes good morning can you show me what you've been doing in the garden you're just getting it yeah yeah like me not a very early morning person gently easing into the day this is amazing Selma amazing I cannot believe there's only four to go I can't believe it it looks so good and imagine when the grass starts to grow in between how nice it will like yes yes yes flat smooth [Music] yes yep peacock shaped hole help dust bar he just likes to join in yeah we've got a real problem with that we don't know whether to leave it or take it away this huge box is right in the middle of one of the beds and some are and I think it should probably be moved so that we get the symmetry right at this stage and we just take hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cuttings from it but I think mummy might want it to stay so we have to I didn't ask her today mama what do you think we should do about this does that mean raise it to the ground [Laughter] raise it to the ground or don't touch it open for interpretation what does Caesar say it has been there for over 20 years do you want it on your conscience to take that down no you would regret it and then we make another area of the garden so we it's not going to die we just move it and make it head so it I understand so Mars point my gut instinct even when we first moved in was that it should go that it was in the wrong place I cannot be party to killing but perfectly yeah that's what you think show me it's like cloning it we're cloning it the thing is I will not see it again what won't you see I will never see that beautiful sight so you like that beautiful sight because no one else likes it everyone else finds it a bit of an eyesore right in the middle of our beds yeah it really is getting very big mummy can you can you hear it to look like a.j Swan I could get my head around it if it was a giant Swan your father would have been no he'd have been a superb you'd have turned into a peacock yeah well maybe we need to find an artist who can turn that into something good mine he's a dope he's two people well how would you feel if that was a big like thinner peacock watching over that side of the garden yeah then at least it would be artistic rather than a little blob yeah yeah yeah yeah I couldn't have put it better myself oh I know what it should be it should be a sculpture an exact representation of mummy okay well I think mummy doesn't want it to be killed so if you can make the bed shorter there you're both very stubborn I'm very stubborn this is three very stubborn people trying to make a decision so I think we we just keep it we'll try and do something with in the future and we name it mummies I saw you can carry this okay fine fine yeah just make a shorter bed I am sorry Salman will know that you want a beautiful symmetry yes but this is now it's officially registered everyone knows it's not so Mars doing okay mummy we hadn't seen the peahen for a few days and we were getting worried but I think I found her yes she must be on eggs look she's made herself superflat and she never comes out of there it's a nice cool spot she's found oh how exciting can you imagine if we got baby peacocks and did you see that the peahen is on the eggs I think I mean from the shape of her body it looks as though she's on eggs she's on the floor you seen the eggs really anything going on here you just touched me sweet you're quite right we must protect her but we have to feed her where yes give up 2004 would stir and water and it would be wonderful yes exciting well I say exciting we're going to end up with a massive mass but good luck yes I'm actually I need to measure up and I'll order the mattresses but but yeah for now let's just put them back because I'll be out of the way there okay I'll put the phone down so that I can help you with a mattress great it's not bad but I think it would be nice to have it you see it's nice except you so I just need to order them the same height as this because actually very good depth and I think that is that's nice there's a company who makes them to size and they make the you know the base to size as well so if you get a very thin base and then it matches a little bit thinner than this we're about the same height and that gives extra Springs yes because that could be the best of both worlds right well we've cleared the room I will leave you to it good luck with the cupboard oh I'm dreading seeing the wall afterwards but at least it will force me to finish the room there'll be a little hidey hole with treasure in it oh they'll just be a really messy wall a treasure would be to find the old decoration yes like a fragment of old decoration never know we just have to hope there's something behind yes really are you serious oh wow yes there is an original wallpaper behind oh how exciting oh that and a boarder do you know what we were filming in the Attic we saw this and we said I bet it's leftovers from a room in the Chateau one of the main rooms and it was look it was the leftover from this room this is beautiful oh it's actually a very very beautiful wallpaper that used to be here it's such a joy to see I'm really happy that was underneath good to see this moving - oh look how lovely and clean it was behind there wow that's nice it always gets very dramatic as one approaches Michael's bedroom [Music] ready fantastic let's go upload come and have a look at this mindfulness super excited all that was pink as well lots more isn't that amazing look at the border as well you have it in the Attic it's you know the bit we haven't touched yet that's up there in one of the rooms so they obviously use the left over for the servants quarters that you found so okay so they've several layers of paper it started up so the original one is this beautiful blue that you found that is the original one and then the room was pink and then it's this gorgeous one was fantastic to see the layers of history like that sure sure that's his official treasure let's have a little look it is Napoleon the third yes Napoleon the third I can't believe it Emperor Napoleon the third 1862 I think it's unlikely it doesn't look like a gold one let's see how much was it at the time was worth 10 cents it's a 10-cent coin from 1862 both certainly looked at we're framing it anyway we're framing it because it was found in here it's good to go in the wall right Napoleon you know incredible genius well done a lot of people used to do that actually we found coins under find things like skirting boards and things and I wonder if people actually used to put them as a member a date stamp oh look it's actually a lovely idea isn't that a really nice idea to do a ballast up you know somebody just is that a sweet you're gonna eat [Laughter] this wallpaper is being manufactured by two companies their own versions of it so I'm gonna get samples from both and find out how to like finish finish that area because it stains it is but I just love the fact is the original one I don't want to remove that just put some boots and then put the cement to make the rules oh they put the wood onto the plaster no yes yes yes make it strong okay to plaster the wall the possible it's also it just everywhere into all the houses on the ceiling amazing look great discoveries and we have a fragment I how about we have a tiny fragment of the second wallpaper you hold that flat how about we frame that again sat in a tiny little frame and put it on the wall fantastic thanks a lot amazing silver I've looked up the value and there's a huge range for these coins basically it's anything from like 20 euros to 450 euros depending on the condition but ours is a bit worn so I think we're probably closer to the lower end of that but that's special yes the shops here yeah that's true but I would never sell it anyway nobody's got to stay in the rooms no yeah yeah you can put it on it's definitely not in bad condition ours but it's not pristine to take it anymore well if it's in very good condition forms 50 euros this is definitely treasure yeah definitely I know right I know you're joking you're joking very old oh my oh where did you find this one is there also 10 cents liberté égalité if katya meaty well it's definitely after the revolution i will looking at this i found a date 1924 can you believe this nearly a hundred years old and where was this one I'm gonna stop editing for a second and look up points well this one's much less valuable between 3 and 10 euros it's that amazing I will frame it with the other one it's just a joy to make little discoveries like that what's happening mica I walked up and down this Lane and I found a sweet spot just here I mean he won't even say in the car because I can't stop the car there on his tiny country lane the car is only here but no no he won't sit in it that's his sweet spot [Laughter] I'm just here this is this is what stephanie has to do to get your blog's uploaded and I'm having to do it too so usually I just have to do it on the days that I upload but I have to come here every day because in the days I'm not uploading he's uploading 70 percent Stephanie so we're just gonna hang out here a lot

the license are you trying to Detroit de-spawn in that little haze it's like Vaseline on the lens I've got a driver license I one day or so till then I've got Stephanie so far he's already got a chauffeur she's standing yeah okay but just to show you was a car logging is such an extreme sport look I do want to actually show you he was right about my lens look how dirty your lens well now he's

82% Oh looking at beautiful things makes me forget that we're standing here in the drizzle at least you've got good taste [Laughter] yes because it was raining as you were so wet and after the rain she was hysterical walking around I thought okay I have to build quick something for something yep she's got her little shelter good for next year if she finds another place I know this is a quite good spot though I hope she stinks with this one if it works you probably will I love this mixture of nepetalactone Venetians love and pink roses and I thought it wasn't a patter but actually I think
