Great vlog tonight Stephanie. You live your life at a million miles an hour, just take care please, we would all be devastated if anything untoward happened. The Grand Salon is going to be spectacular. Needs a special opening when it is done. We all just know Amaury is going to do the conversion of the century. Why don't you donate one months' chateau unwrapped to your local community hub. Charity begins at home. I would watch it twice if it helps.
