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 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

Pavlenas new shorter hairstyle really suits her, she is such an attractive lady and has a wonderful aura surrounding her. She does not say much but she is so attentive and hears all but mostly keeps her own counsel, never seeks attention. She is a special lady and deserves happiness, she must be weighted down with worry of the war going on in her homeland.x

So when you opened the peacocks at the beginning and thought they were pheasants it made me think of Jenny from Jenny’s Château Farm. I had never seen a pheasant either and they had one die on their property. They weren’t sure what happened but they had been digging a trench to plant their hedge, and she and her husband gave it a proper burial. She was so gentle with it. Such beautiful creatures. Almost as beautiful as a male peacock. 😢😊

They are a wonderful organization. They did the tent hospital in town during the Covid pandemic. One note, if they are overseas, there have been issues in non-Christian countries, as they want to spread the word. Turkey and Syria are conservative Muslim countries.i just listened to the Public Radio interview with the Muslim women who have arrived in the hundreds to prepare the dead for burial. Families of several generations have passed down the traditional washing of the dead rituals. Teachers, housewives, university students, etc, are answering the call. The Red Crescent is taking donations as is United Nations organizations. They will need to rebuild for years to come. Some towns lost half the town and their people.

@foretb1162 Жыл бұрын

The "tulip" fabric is washable. It's polyester and easy to machine wash and drip-dry though or tumble dry in a cooler dryer. The painted irises are special edition iris germanica crosses from a local wholesale greenhouse. They are now collector plants which, unfortunately, are no longer available. I didn't know what to do with the paintings which I did for a market garden that was selling the plants back in the mid-90s. In my own garden I only have the 'Boo' and 'Speckled Sprite' which are Intermediate germanica irises (mid-sized) that have survived. I hope to propagate at least the Boo this year - if it grows enough - not to sell but to spread around my garden. It isn't quite white nor sheer but more like a "see-through" white and blue - very unusual. Anyway, they are for your library of paintings from "around the world".

Please remove any pins asap in case they rust and ruin the fabrics - you will never get the rust out. Embroidering with metallic thread is tricky.
