    Since you'll be moving tons of furniture over the next few years, be sure to purchase *furniture moving straps.* They make it safer, faster and you're less likely to bump and scrape walls. By at least 4 so family and friends will be helping you move things around. Good luck on this wonderful adventure.

    Patrick I think the word you were looking for to describe your experience travelled was " le Spectaculaire de Merde". I think your dogs are behaving very similar to most North Americans when they first moved to Europe. They just went a bit crazy and got naughty because it's so different and so interesting. Great way to meet your neighbours. Be gentle with yourself as that jet lag can really beat a fella up. Congratulations for finally getting to France.Cheers from Toronto and Happy Pride!

    Great to see you in your new home! I noticed the 4 flowered plates on the top shelf of the dresser. In 1918 my great uncle was killed in France in WWl. In 1928 his mother, my great grandmother, went to France to find his grave in one of those vast cemeteries with rows up rows of white crosses. While there she bought a service for at least 16 in that pattern. I not only use it daily but can still set a table for 16. (I'm in Maine.)

The Sèvres tea set is particularly gorgeous as is all the blue and white. How lucky to discover that china and it would be kind to use it again and not shut it away for many more years. I have decided to use and enjoy all my fine china now as Stephanie does at la Lande. Great to see you are finally settled with all your pups home at last. 🫖☕️🦮🥰

I had to giggle about the neighbors coming to see the dogs, instead of crazy cat ladies are we now coining the term deranged dog dudes? Meant with all love and respect, of course. I imagine it will be a while before things settle into a normal, be sure to take some breathers to explore the cities and villages around you, France looks so charming with all of its history. And my inner history geek is just loving the fact you are LIVING in a piece of history. We will never have anything like that back here in the US. Cannot wait to see things progress.

You need a good French Painter, or possibly an American and German combo painters to paint the whole family, including all the dogs, as you moved in for posterity sake! What a great place to build a life together and a bunch of stone walls outside at the same time. It doesn't get better than that. I would paint the picture of the family first and then build the place that it will hang forever.

    Good morning Patrick and Stuart, it was a lovely video. Looking at the two of you, a picture flooded my mind - it's like there is an egg that was dropped on the floor and the egg shells are scattered around! I see that, because Patrick you had a look on your face regarding the work to be done, and it must feel like chaos in your mind. That is perfectly natural, I would be the same, where to start and which is more important. I also think the kitchen, get that done with careful planning. Try to find a local carpenter that will agree to make loose/free standing units raised from the floor. If you can achieve that you are going to be the village sweet hearts for sure!. or make them yourselves if you are able. It was lovely to see your parents Stuart, glad that there is such a close bond between Vader en seun. Moeder was standing gazing at those beautiful crockery not saying much. That porcelain is gorgeous. Even if it is only used for display. I would risk a good cup of tea from that gold brim one. The dogs are so happy, loved to see them enjoying themselves in the front as well as showing off a grand posture on the stairs, my, they are really lovely. So glad to see you at the chateau, glad to hear you are where you wanted to be, now, it is just about working away with much joy in your hearts. I am sure you will be extremely satisfied with your decision. Many blessings, cannot wait to see how you are going to renovate the dwelling. Nice comment about the 90 year lady, yes at that stage, I think it would be disgraceful to expect her to have had the property 100%, some can not even the younger generations could do that. Many blessings, live your dream. Kind regards.

    You can get a hairdryer and a soft cloth and aim the hot air right on the white ring on the top of that dresser and rub it as you do it with the cloth and after a few minutes the ring will start to disappear as it is trapped water from wet cup being placed on it. I got all the rings and marks out of my mahogany coffee table that I bought secondhand that way and no rings or marks now 😁😁.

Stripping it off is going to be interesting. Good luck with that. Do keeps posting clips of the puppies. Goodness you could have a herd of them. Too bad dogs don’t eat vegetation. Perhaps goats? I loved seeing your parents and hope they will be back again. Have a great week.

We talked about having some someday. Right now it would be too much. If we can get our plans realized, we will not live here alone and have more people who can help with more responsibilities.

    @@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Sorry for the delay in responding. Reno’s!!! It started off with a zoning law required pool fence heights to be changed. Which caused a front balcony and stairs being done. New gates, paving stones, and flower boxes. That was last summer. Still have a sixty foot balcony to be redone. However, I was bored this January, so I demoed a bathroom from the fifties in turquoise blue which included a cast iron tub. Those suckers weigh a ton. As I only do Reno’s on weekends, it has taken awhile. I am finally at the paint stage. I do have two other bathrooms in case you were worried. So I know what you are going to be going through. I wish I was there helping you as I love both demo, rebuild, paint and gardening. No, I don’t cook. Have fun.

I like where you put the hutch in the kitchen. It definitely looks better there. Can't wait to see you start on the kitchen. The entry way seems a bit daunting to me. I don't like the idea of crumbling plaster and all that sanding. I suppose you will need a blow torch to kill off all those weeds in the courtyard. So much work to do! Crack on boys! sending pets and kisses to your puppies.
