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:

It’s dangerous to put that big woodblock into such a small oven😮 The enamel can be destroyed if you fire so hard. Oven plates can twist, causing the oven to crack, which in turn causes the oven to have an uncontrolled air supply. Never fill the combustion chamber more than two-thirds full. Chimneys bursting and flames engulfing the house🙈It is then important to fire within what the fireplace or stove is designed for. Just a rants from a Norwegian with lots of experience with wood burning 😅

@denisemastromina7821 Жыл бұрын

I really have to make a comment about the large piece of wood Phillip put in the stove. If the stove gets too hot it can crack the internal heat bricks but worst of all if too much heat comes out of the stove, it can cause damages to surrounding areas ie; fire surrounds even causing plaster to detache from the ceiling I know from experience. I do feel the most beautiful teapot and very expensive shouldn't be put on top of the stove, once cracked it is beyond repair. I also think the heat could damage the back of the chairs. I don't like making negative comments but I'm really worried you will have damages. I left my stove open full and forgot it. Hence the ceiling cracking and falling.

@katyasilitch4539 Жыл бұрын

I binge watched all your past vlogs during the quarantine, and I am now a faithful viewer, thank you, but I had never heard Phillip talk of the behavior of otters before today! I did know they hold hands while they sleep and rest afloat in the water so as not to drift apart, but I did not know whey have an underarm pouch in which they store a rock! I love that Phillip says they store "their favorite rocks" in these pouches, though I think they place rocks in these pouches as a way to counter their buoyancy. Maybe both perspectives are true, the rocks provide weight and make them less buoyant/floaty and they become attached to the rock which is the right weight for them!
