Hello lovely people! Today, I'm taking you on a behind-the-scenes look at all the Easter preparations happening here at the chateau. The season is nearly here and we're all working hard to get everything ready for our guests.
I finally manage to drag myself out of bed after a nasty flu kept me there for a few days. I even ventured outside to join Pavlina on a wild garlic hunt in the woods, where I was reminded of how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place. We picked some garlic, which I plan to use in a delicious delicious Easter recipe.
Most excitingly - Maria has returned! And we can already tell that she's going to be cracking the whip, after finding the kitchen in a bit of a mess (but for a good reason!) And Grant's come back to the chateau with his family to celebrate Easter with us!
Last but not least, Philip and I have been enjoying choosing the new wallpaper for Bonne Maman's bathroom. It used to belong to the Marquise, and it's the largest bathroom in the chateau, so we wanted to make sure we found the perfect wallpaper to complement its history. I can't wait to show you!
So there you have it - a little glimpse into our busy Easter preparations here at the chateau. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Did you see that glorious pink sky over Maria's shoulder in the area cuisine? Absolutely beautiful!!!

@janetroberts2262 Год назад

I had to pause the video at 29:57 to do something and when I came back there was Maria and Phillip, paused on either side of that beautiful pink and blue sunset sky, it would make a great photograph ❤

@nancyhelgeson9934 Год назад

And so beautiful with all the plants in the window with the pink sky in the background!

Love how Natty adore and appreciated her Man openly! SO BEAUTIFUL TO HEAR.

Plant the wild garlic or sprinkle the seed heads when they are ready.. right beside the stream and it will spread everywhere along the banks. It loves being right by the water : )

those wallpapers are gorgeous but I would say take a few days to decide - I think the green or gray background matches the floor so beautifully that they would be a delight for decades

The flowers in the woods are just magical Stephanie and the lights in the courtyard are beautiful thanks to Amery. Good to see your house full of friends how wonderful. Hugs, hope you feel better soon Stephanie. Kathy USA

@ralphstephan353 Год назад

Stephanie is like a busy bee, attracting creative people to surround her and contribute to the development of a unique community centered on her chateau and its acres of natural woodland. All this and pink wallpaper in the bathroom. The rewards of many years of hard work, well deserved.

@michaelwieneke1992 Год назад

Amaury is truly amazing. You are fortunate to have him, Stephanie!

@JoeTheLion60 Год назад

Just a thought that the fairy lights might interfere with the blooming of the courtyard trees as they may be sensitive to natural light sequences - ie 100% light isn't natural for them..might be worth checking out...

@ShirleyWaldeckmetiswoman Год назад

I didn't like the wallpaper in pink I think the flower wallpaper in white background looked crisp and fresh pink is a colour not a lot like and its a colour where less is more

Grant’s son is suitably obsessed with Molly…. So sweet.

@kathyrichards1039 Год назад

If it had been me, I would have redone the rear kitchen with stainless steel worktops and cabinetry. Much easier to keep clean, hard wearing and hygienic. Doesn't have to be expensive either. Similar to how Dick and Angel designed their working kitchen. I'm sure Maria would approve!

Hello, may I please ask a question? I noticed a couple of Jewish families walking back from synagogue today @ noon time. Could I please ask what religious observance that it was today? (I thought that Passover concluded at sundown on Wednesday.)

@worklifebalance9696 Год назад

@@livingthegoodlifechannel Its Passover, it goes for 8 days and nights and finishes on Wed 12th April. We attend Synagogue on the first two mornings of Passover and the last one. Although some more orthodox (observant jews) attend throughout Passover. Feel free to ask more questions if you want further clarity

No! Not the pink! Stick with the blue and white. The pink muddles the blue! Ah, why does everyone stick pink into everything. Okay, I'm over my tirade. I love the original idea with the blue, to match the multi blue tiles. You can put a pink bathroom up into that room that is wall to wall pink.
