      Against my techy family's advice I signed up for NordVPN...in the nick of time before the UK shut down a lot of speech. I am still very careful, even though I live in the US, but i feel more confident and secure now. Thank you for the advert some time ago, I have at last acted on it. I have also cleared out my 'sewing room' that was uninhabitable! You give the best advice!!! Thanks!

      Good idea but keep them at a limited number. eg 50. Once you start getting into large numbers it becomes more "mass produced" and loses the exclusive art feel

      Stephanie mentioned it a number of times in the very early videos. I think it stopped being mentioned later as people knew….. and then as the channel blew up she left some things to stay in the past and be a little more private. It wasn’t a secret but you’d need to have watched pretty much every video from the beginning.

    @TheAccidentalViking 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'm so glad Philip has caught the re-selling bug. His taste is exquisite and it is no surprise his items are flying out the door. I do what he does here in Norway, but only as a hobby and only occasionally. I inherited quite a bit of stuff from my in-laws and then I had a physical shop in a touristy part of town, but closed it down quite a few years ago. I still go off to the odd flea market, estate sale and look for things that need saving and I'll even spend some time mending the handcrafted pieces so that they can be re-homed and displayed proudly. I wish you luck with your shipping, because that is always the scariest part for me: leaving the items in the hands of the postal gods. So far, so good, but I seldom post porcelain or glassware. I've been using empty Pringles cans as supports inside the boxes to give them more strength in case they end up under something heavy. Best of luck!

    As one of the followers is saying, you should do a book about your father painting and sketching.
    I am having a Giacometti book which I am frequently using to improve my drawing. The book is on a page showing the final painting and on the opposite page, the sketches which support part of the painting. Looking at sketches help enormously to fine-tune your drawing.
    By the way, Percy: pain au Chocolat should remain as it is. One day, he will be adding marmite to it for pushing us into a deep gastronomic coma😂😂😂😂

    Your father’s sketches and notes are wonderful. What a treasure. ❤Edited to add, you might consider a room dedicated to him, using his sketches and frame some of his notes…pics, all the things he loved. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

    Wish you could ship to Australia, so love everything. I agree with Stephanie, everything tastes better on beautiful dinner plates , lovely cutlery wine glasses. Your Dad sounds like an amazing man, I have always adored your father’s paintings around the Chalet, they are so different, which is what I love. Have a beautiful day. ❤

    Stephanie, i too am going through the family memories. The video tape can be digitized. The video files can be kept on something as simple as a USB drive or as 21st century as a media server that any smart TV on the château's network could access. This can also include photographs and music. When i digitized my parents 8mm home movies i built 5 media servers to give to my parents grandchildrens households. It isn't that expensive considering the flexibility and disaster recovery preservation.

      Gerry « adopted » Isabelle and her husband before Stéphanie was born. He became a sort of older brother to Stephanie. They have no blood link. As far as I understood Gerry’s mother used to work for Stephanie ‘s parents in Glasgow and they became a second family for Gerry.
