With no space left last month to continue this story—I’m doing so now! My husband and I tried to buy a beautiful French Chȃteau near Cognac. We offered less than the asking price as the building needed renovation, conversion and furniture. What we didn’t realise was that very often if a prospective buyer shows a keen interest—the price is increased. We were disappointed as we had so many exciting plans…. Rowing boats on the lake and parties in the lovely grounds. We would have invited the local neighbours which most
holiday makers would have enjoyed.
When I watch “Escape to the Chȃteau”on television, I find it really interesting as Dick, the husband , like Ron, is multi-talented. Angel his wife, like me, loves colour and design . I have several French friends who own Chȃteaux. One of them sent a photo of one of his ceilings with my Christmas Card this year. For years he has been trying to prove that it was painted by a famous artist!
I expect that many of you have visited Fontainbleu, Versailles or the Chȃteaux along the Loire. The last time we were at Versailles a small child went missing. You can imagine the parents’ panic! We all went hunting to help them, and luckily their little daughter was found.
Not being able to own the chȃteau, what did we buy? We bought a lovely house on the Vendeen Corniche so close to the beach that the spume blew off the waves on windy days and hit our windows! That’s another story.
Enjoy May!
