We all gather on the chateau's terrace to open stunning and thoughtful gifts at Lalande. Once again we're struck by your kindness and generosity...
This is the first Cadeaux at the Chateau to be filmed by the lovely Steve, who is volunteering at Lalande to help us with this charity channel. It was his first ever time filming a video and we had some teething problems with some of the focusing, but that's all been fixed for next week. The bonus is that he's done a beautiful job, his camera lens is a huge improvement on my usual iPhone filming, and he's a joy to hang out with!!!
In 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', all of the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to open beautiful gifts that people have sent from all over the world. All of the monetisation from these videos will be donated to a different charity each month.
I used to show the gifts as part of 'The Chateau Diaries' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
