We get a visit from the previous owners of Lalande, the descendants of the family who owned the chateau for over 200 years! Since I bought the chateau, it has seen many changes, but I tried to keep the chateau's history and their family history present. But what will they say...

The soap is perfectly fine. As a matter of fact the longer the soap ages the nicer it is. I know this because I make it.

Definately! I have real Aleppo soap from before Aleppo blew up into a mayhem war zone, and it's olive oil and bayleaf oil dried in wood moulds under thr desert sun like leather, and looked exactly like the aged savon de Marseille when I got it and is the most creamy soap ever. It does need a proper ribbed dish as it leaves alot of soap residue otherwiize is all. Perfect to get on a rope as well. Wonderful for sensitive skin!

You can really easily make liquid hand soap out of any bar of soap! I’ll share my recipe below :) Use 100g of soap for every 2,5 liters of water and 5 teaspoons of glycerine. Add any essential oil you want. Or add homegrown lavender buds😁 1. Grate your soap. 2. Bring your water to a boil and add the soap shavings. 3. Also add the glycerine. 4. Let simmer till all soap shavings have melted away. 5. Let cool overnight and use a hand blender to make it liquid. If you want to add essential oils/lavender buds, add them now. It keeps for at least a year :) I’ve been doing this for a few years now, to get through all the small hotel-soaps.

Weird, I read this this morning in a book... "Re-arranging and getting rid of, will make you feel as if you receive a spurt of energy and sparking joy. Constructive activity will remove layers of thoughts and actions that have been laid down before and that may no longer serve. Shifting and re-arranging shifts energy and allows new to flow in." That soap is beautiful. You could grate it down too, and it will dissolve easily. Can be used for dishes, baths, hands and clothes too!

Stephanie, despite not knowing you personally, it's wonderful to see you feeling happy and secure, and letting go of so much you'd been holding onto. I imagine there is a lot of healing and transformation going on behind the scenes along with the physical clearing we get to see, which all goes hand in hand together. Seeing the hallway transform and seeing you so easily get rid of stuff that clearly isn't needed anymore, it's wonderful.

It's the way she cleans these fabrics (mostly linens and handmade laces, some cottons), by soaking them in Marseilles soap and cold water, and she tells customers to do likewise, but makes sure they use "real" Marseilles soap and not the cheap stuff sold to tourists. She says you can tell the difference because the real stuff smells not great 😆 But you're correct, I'd probably hesitate with fine brocade, silk jacquards, etc.

Philip, Savon de Marseille is the best and is used in all French hospitals because of its PH good for the patients skin and its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities. Its odour comes from the olive oil and the traditional way of making it (no perfume). It's a totally natural soap and has been used for centuries for laundry and personal hygiene. It can be kept for decades. Besides Savon de Marseille (flakes) is recommended for washing new born babies' clothes for all its qualities.

We are to be part of this viewing and Patrons are right for you at this time anyway! Soap is very, very expensive. The more old-fashioned it is the more expensive it is! You must keep it and it would be so nice for gifts for all guests who visit and maybe leave one "fired up ever so nicely" and left in a bathroom!? They should know it is twenty years old Soap! Highly well known for being the best, for personal cleanliness, around! ( Everything looks fantastic outside and in, and so cleaned up so nicely and clutter-free. It is not easy to clean out and yet you make it look so easy that anyone would want to, give it a try!

Could Nick maybe weight down the root ball of that tree to keep it from uprooting and get a few more years of life out of it? With some artistically arranged boulders or something? Meanwhile a newly planted tree nearby could be getting some height established for shade when the damaged tree finally has to go. I know that might sound like a silly plan but I actually did that with a Japanese maple that was uprooting so much it was already starting to lean. We cabled it upright to another tree and packed soil around the root ball. The cable held it and here we are 15 years later and it’s beautiful and healthy!
