The Chateau Diaries 095: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This week was full of adventure! Michael's family visited the chateau, and when he returned to the Chateau de la Basmaignee with them, I went to Estonia and Finland for a northern trip before beginning the Christmas festivities at Lalande ❄️🏰❄️
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
This weekly vlog follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️

    Making leaves for the antique table , reminded me , when my parents got married , my mom was a city girl and married a farmer, she asked her dad , who was a fine finish carpenter , to make her a big farm table . Which he did , it was wide enough to seat 2 across the ends , it had 7 leaves and could seat 22 when fully extended . I don’t know what happened to it when my parents retired off the farm ? I need to ask my siblings if they know . What a joy it was to get the table ready for those huge Christmas dinners at our house . Thank you for triggering this beautiful memory .

    Stephanie definitely needs to sort out a better heating solution for the chateau so she can open it during the winter because her place would be just as beautiful in the winter as the Norway place.

    Tallinn is one of my most favorite places. I visited many years ago with my father, who was from there. The old town is gorgeous. I especially loved the whimsical names given to the towers which form part of the wall surrounding the old town; Fat Margaret for a very short and wide tower and Tall Hermann for a tall and skinny one. As well, I had some of the most interesting and delicious meals there. Russian occupation meant that Estonians relied on maintaining their handicrafts, as many goods were not available and, it was a way of maintaining their national identity (or, so I was told). Now, it is the tourists who benefit from a fine selection of beautiful handmade goods to chose from. I have some beautiful linens that my grandmother made; she grew the flax, turned it into thread, wove it and then embroidered it and made the lace that also decorates it. Needless to say, I treasure these heirlooms. Whilst I was in Estonia, I also purchased some hand knit items; I loved the patterns used in their creation. Thank you for reminding me of what a magical place Tallinn is.

    You visited Estonia?! I'm from Estonia, the cafe you visited (the one in the basement) is one of the cosiest in the old town. A bit strange to see my hometown in a youtube video haha, hope you had a lovely experience and enjoyed your stay here!😊 Oh, and Glögi is a traditional winter drink around here, it's spicy and can be alocholic or non-alcoholic. You're supposed to heat it up beforehand and drink it while it's hot 💗

    Unicorn Bertha one of the most influential people I’m my life , who taught me to live life and defy adversity was an elderly lady from Estonia . Her was a survivor of WW 2 and the Russian invasion had to live in work camps and endured the death of a child in the camps . She was the example of endurance resilience and hopefulness. I’m a senior citizen now and still am guided by her spirit . Because of her example I turned my rather fearful personality into a one of hopefulness and joy fullness. People today hardly believe that I started out life as a fearful and sad child . Would love to get to Estonia some day .
