Just when we were already missing you, your video popped up!! How wonderful…and what lovely memories of your incredible hospitality. It was the perfect way to ring in the New Year. We can’t wait to see you again very soon for our “Maker” project and our big Venice adventure. Sending you so much Chateau Love!!!!!!! 😁🥂🍾🍾💕🏰💖
What is the name of the theme song that your sister sings at the beginning of the program? Enjoy your video very much. I live in Tunica, MS, which is very close to your home town of Memphis. Looking forward to the next video!
As someone who was a very picky eating kid, but decided in late teenager/young adulthood that I didn’t want to be anymore, and has slowly been trying all kinds of things just as I encounter them, it feels SOOOO good to think of yourself as a more adventurous eater. It doesn’t even matter if you end up not liking most of what you try, it’s the feeling of being interested and not scared of food that is the change? Something to feel proud of? I am so (secondhand) proud you tried the caviars, and on camera! I have never tried caviar, and I only just tried my first fresh oysters on the half shell in 2019, in Borough Market in London, when I was there alone celebrating my 30th. It helped that guy working the stall there was an incredibly handsome bearded Englishman who recommended his favorite one for me to try and taught me how to eat it!
Right? Thank you for understanding and the support! We are off on an adventure here - why not try new things, and if it gives someone a laugh, all the better!
I really enjoy seeing the tours of other places and buildings! The age alone blows me away but the architectural aspects take my breath away. Thank you for sharing your visits and tours.
A great start to 2022 with Vivienne and Simon.. Happy New Year! Thank you for the tour! France certainly is picturesque and chateaux were definitely built to last.. were you had the best vantage point to survey your realm! With so many still standing as reference, makes you wonder at the wealth of the owners in the day. The Venice trip, sounds the dream! Sad to see the Christmas tree go... lights are always a dilemma. Some years ago, after making an over sized faux tree decision, we found a wholesaler the following year and had one made. Tall but narrowed at the base it was perfect, the owner also gave us the best lighting advice. Start at the top - imagine the tree divided into sections, one for each set (we had 6 sets) then zig zag each length down the tree in each section... so wider as you go down. All plugs are then at the base, ready for a power board. No winding round and round, only to find the spacing is wrong and you have to start over! Hope that makes sense ❤🦘.
Sara you were very brave to try your taste buds, not me! It was lovely to see the masonry stone carvings, the ceiling was amazing, love the sections very mysterious as well as the wooden door, think about the blacksmith forging those nails and the skills of the buildings to make it safe from invaders, that was what it was all about, security, it is pure magic. The Chateau being kept since the 1200's is amazing, goes to show if you take care of your possessions, how long it can last! Any Country that preserves it's Historical buildings we have to respect, same in Hungry. It was not too great a hassle to remove the tree, it had served it purpose and can still supply firewood or wood chips. I was thinking you should have placed a box underneath each cutting piece and chains awed it into manageable sections! It was lovely sharing the Festive festivities with you and your friends, next up is Valentine's Day!! Who knows what will happen, we hope and trust only the best for 2022. All the very best, best wishes and kind regards 😇
Vivienne and Simon are so lovely and engaging! True lovers of Europe and it's culture. What a lovely main entrance..It will be exciting to display your artwork on those immense grand walls!
Thankyou ♥️ from the depth of my heart for this entertainment and all the history, and meeting your lovely parents and friends ❤....Happy New year to all you fantastic, and generous folks .Stay blessed happy and healthy 🙏 ✨ 💛 💓 💖 💕 🙏
I still have tree envy, your tree was so extraordinary I would have left it up most of the year. My fake tree lost more needles that yours!. Love the fireplace, the visits to the chateaus. You will not believe how stunning Venice will be . Just entrancing.
Very exiting your trip to Venice, hope that it is possible because of covid. It is wonderfull and so pittoresk. Great place for drawing 😀Lovely tour of all the Chateau 's and villages thank you. All the best wishes for 2022.
OOOH you guys Albrecht Durer! that is one of the most amazing artists ever lived. totally madly in love with his work, so glad to hear his name pop up. love to hear more about your love for Albrecht. my most favorite work of him is what they say is the worlds first ever still live painting of some turf. so magical . excited to hear about your connection with Albrecht. You two are evolving so strong with your uploads you really are harnessing the beast your own way. love it. lots of hugs and good fortunes for this year.
🥂Bonne Annee 2022 🍾! Festive gatherings with finery, excellent food, & warm fellowship. Yay🎉! 🤩Admire your culinary bravery, Sarah! 🐔Far less of risk taker, esp. with textures & flavor. 😉Go forth & be brave for those of us who shy away from 🆕 tastes. 🤗Thx for sharing your lovely guests & local adventures. Quite enjoyable to listen to discussion on historical background of the spectacular carving on your mantle. 🌟So, thrilling it has so beautifully survived the centuries. 😘Bravo to all the faithful stewards entrusted to care for these magnificent things in their lifetime. The ancient art & architecture preserved in the UK & Europe is mind-blowing🤯. Am thrilled to 👁️👁️peek over your shoulders to share in tours of such glorious castles🏰 & also gorgeous 🌱scenic🌿 locations. God bless the owners who allow historians & afficiandos inside their homes for a glimpse of this grandeur. 🤞Fingers crossed on Venice/Verona. 🙏 Hope you'll share making some of your 🎠carnival costumes & masks for your holiday too. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
You guys are having so much fun. Steve! It is minus 30 here in Sask. With a howling wind. A blizzard you could say. Hanging clothes! So jealous! Plus the caviar tasting. So cute!
Thanks for your vlog about the Singer sewing machine, I started to look up about the one I have (similar to yours). I found it was built in 1910 in Scotland. I cleaned it all up and it is still working! No I am waiting for the belt I ordered online. So it will now be a working machine in stead of just decoration and this all thanks to you!
Hello ! My Aunt was an expert dress maker in Scotland in the 1930s ,40s and just after WW11 . She had two Singer treddle sewing machines she used daily . One was very old. She made the most amazing coats, dresses, ball gowns for clients and all my clothes on these two machines until I was 18 yrs. They are amazing! Good luck using yours when you get your new drive belt.
It''s always sad to see a beautiful Christmas tree come down. Tysm for the wonderful tours, the old castles are simply fantastic, and I agree with you Sara, I LOVE the stone details! Oh, and your fireplace...just WOW! My all time favorite!!
This was wonderful! The 17th century wooden staircase was amazing as is the fact that the same family has owned it since the beginning. Thanks for another great video!
Another lovely video!!! 😃 😃 For some reason I always enjoyed hearing the tolling of the bells … I’m really amazed at the architectural details of the old structures, specially the craftsmanship and skill executed in times when everything was done by hand and crude tools. . 👍 You guys must visit Venice !!! It’s a city that is so nice to get lost in , specially through its narrow streets and alleys . Enjoy also the blown glass in Murano and intricate lace of Burano. The Doge’s Palace is a must. Just make sure to book your entry tickets to the sites ahead of time. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊 CHEERS !!! 🥂
Thank you for sharing the beautiful sights and opening your home to us. Just a wonderful perspective during these crazy times...So excited for you both in your journey...
That certainly was a grand end to the year. Lovely seeing the old buildings and to hear about your jolly trip. Happy New Year to you all and looking forward to more vlogs from you. 🍷
Ah, I don’t take my trees down till after the epiphany. It gives me a few more days to enjoy them. Three men to take a stand off..omg . Venice , I dream of returning to Venice . I’m praying this pandemic gets done before I’m too old to enjoy it again.
What an amazing vlog! Loved all of it. We had an amazing time in Venice (2016), the food, people & hospitality! would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for sharing 😊
There's nothing like french graftmanship ! I can't stop admiring them ! Happy New Year and I truly wish you can make your trip to Venice and take us with you of course !
Thank you for allowing us into your lovely Chateau once again and including us in your visit with family and friends. I was making sympathetic sounds as you tried the caviar Sara....I felt your pain and at the same time congratulate you on finishing it!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR from British Columbia, Canada!!!!
Happy new year. So wonderful to see Vivian & Simon along with your new friend Eve. Love the tours of the historic chateaux in the surrounding towns. Can’t wait to see what happens in Venice. I’ve never been but hope to someday travel there and to France 🇫🇷 😍😘
So nice to see you. Wishing you love,laughter,joy and good health in the New Year. Looking forward to see your dreams growing. Thank you for sharing 😘🇨🇦
Very happy new year to you all. What a great video. Thank you for taking along with your family to see such beautiful architecture. You are such a lovely hostess and Steven as a host. Love the visit with Chateau Love too. 🤗🥰🙏❤️
I enjoy the little pops of fishy goodness on a cracker 🐱 the egg and onion and creme fraiche enhance the flavour 💃🌷 happy New year everyone 🌹🐓 God bless us all 🐦🎶🌈
Watching your video here in Southern Ontario, looking at the snow flying outside my window and thinking that you totally made the right move to escape that!
Oh, Sarah! Your face as you valiantly eat your way through that cavier! (I've never had any, and probably never will!!!) What lovely weather you had, and fun company.
Another lovely vlog which takes us to another place and time. ..such a treat when many are once again dealing with a tightening of restraints due to Covid 19. 🎉 🇨🇦.
So glad to hear an update on the mystery of the mantle! It has been bugging me in the background. Its a bit validating that my initial instinct about it being later than the Hundred Years War was correct. Fascinating to think that it is Charles V. I don't immediately think of France when I think of the Holy Roman Empire so that probably threw me off a bit. I love how Sara decided to keep trying the blini with caviar even though you can tell she isn't fond of it.
I’m so jealous just hearing you talk about going to Venice for Carnival 🎭 I was hoping to go in 2023 and coming from Australia would spend some time seeing a little more of Europe, I’m working on my itinerary so will watch your visit with great interest. I have been to Venice and of course fell in love with it. Being winter means some areas are not open even some of the chateau B & B’s but I’m working on it. Thank you both enjoy your happy vlogs. Warmest wishes for 2022 Denise Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
So nice that you had the Chateau Love folks with you for New Years........I’m with you Sarah, I will eat anything, but not caviar .......Happy New Year Donna in Toronto
January 5 is the 12th day of Christmas, so you are a few days premature, and the tree still looks good. Maybe next year you can enjoy it a few more days. P.S. Goats love Christmas trees, so you can donate it to the local goat farm. The goats will love it, and the tree won't go to waste. The Singer looks amazing! That gold decoration on old Singer machines was the brainchild of Mr. Clark, who was Isaac Singer's partner in the Singer Sewing Machine Co. Mr. Clark is buried in our local cemetery, here in Hudson, NY.
Thank you for an interesting and fun tour and New Year celebrations. I do the 12 days of Christmas, so l'll have more time to slowly leave the season behind. I go through and experience the family ornaments one last time. 🤣 i wanted to hear more of the family discussions while you were walking around locally, such as their first impressions. They seem like a lovely family and I hope to see more of them. I have toured Venice and the glass, lace and fine arts are everywhere such as at St. Mark square and in the churches. Enjoy the Carnival and Island hopping! As young women on a budget we couldn't enjoy any night life and in those days it was creepy, in a fun way, with little lighting in the streets and so easy to see how it looked centuries ago. 😁❤🌺🌹🥂
Hello & Happy New Year Sara & Stephen 🥳 How lovely for you to meet up with Vivienne & Simon, I watch their channel too ☺️ Your trip to Venice sounds wonderful, I’ve been a couple of times but not at Carnival. My Mum had a singer machine.. not sure what happened to it.. but then I found one in a charity shop, so of course I had to buy it 😊 What a lovely video ❤️
Fun to see you try out the caviar. If you enjoyed it enough to do it again, find a tiny shell spoon (should be easy in France) and ditch those metal (and silver) spoons which can change the taste of the caviar for the worse.
Academia on the same side of canal as Nancy Guggenheim museum which is excellent, if you like that kind of art. The Academia is full of huge Titian paintings it's wow, big! I also stumbled into a Violin maker history museum which was amazing and wonderful, I play the Violin so it had special meanings to me. Vivaldi is also played in special concerts in the evenings. And in St Mark's square, weather permitting there are restaurants with orchestra, often 2 or 3 all playing. You can go restaurant hoping to listen to them. Yes, glass, crazy wonderful glass. Of course the Domo and the bridge of sighs, the tower, and the gelato! Venice on the canal, take across the canal taxi, the water bus, and naturally a gondola ride. Awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with the world. ♥️ And congratulations on your bravery in trying new things (and your honest reaction when you do 😁). It would be nice if the videos could end with some sort of end-credits or “fin” image - I’m never quite sure whether it’s actually done; your videos seem to end quite abruptly. When I go to check, TH-cam erases my record of having watched the video and I have to fast-forward through it all again so that it shows as having been watched.
I’ve become very disappointed with another chateau vlog of late (with their flights of pure fantasy) and I would like to say thank you, for being real and yourselves. It’s a breath of fresh air. Happy new year
Missing France so much and so grateful for your video's of the areas around you. This channel is so enjoyable. Well done and a huge hug from Brisbane Australia
Oh my! You mention of "Oubliette" finally connected the dots to the magickal spell "Obliviate"! It's late and my enjoyment of your vlog was just raised to the Nth degree as my French mind connected with the British movie series. Plus, this is a great vlog as you notice and comment on all the architecture. Huzzah!
Happy New Year guys from Australia. I can’t wait to see your future vlogs as they are always so interesting and informative. I learned so much on your vlog re your Singer. I have 2 that need restoration, one is from 1901 and the other is from 1943 and the receipt was in one of the drawers. I love that you are friends with Vivienne and Simon and want to add what a true lady Vivienne is. When she was explaining the caviar differences to you she was so respectful and humble about her knowledge. Her advice regarding Venice was explained with the same kindness and was interesting. I have been to Venice twice but never looked at it through Vivienne’s eyes. I am glad you will both be vlogging so I can experience more. You guys are going to have a wonderful time there and I can’t wait for the vlog. Take your wellies as if it’s under a bit of water it will be easier and not as cold on your feet. The guide on my last trip told us that, lots of people wear them😊

So glad you are with Vivine and Simon, it's great for all you Chateau owners to get together
The male head on your fire place just looks like Sir Francis drake. Born in 1596 in Tavistock UK& dying in Portobela Panama in 1596
Lovely vlog to ring out the old year! Vivienne and Simon are a charming couple and everyone seemed so relaxed and happy. Happy New Year🎉🙏🏻❤️
It's always nice to see Chateaux owners getting together for fun or projects.

Watching your video here in Southern Ontario, looking at the snow flying outside my window and thinking that you totally made the right move to escape that!
Awesome video thanks guys.
oh goody! Happy New Year from Sitges, Barcelona province!
Wonderful vlog with so many interesting bits. Happy that you had some familiar friends near by to celebrate New Years with.
Oh, Sarah! Your face as you valiantly eat your way through that cavier! (I've never had any, and probably never will!!!) What lovely weather you had, and fun company.
Beautiful château’s and I’m trying new things Sara 🌸💕🌸
That was fantastic . Thank you :)
Enjoyed very much! You have very nice friends and family. Love the tours. Great video!

Hello & Happy New Year Sara & Stephen 🥳 How lovely for you to meet up with Vivienne & Simon, I watch their channel too ☺️ Your trip to Venice sounds wonderful, I’ve been a couple of times but not at Carnival. My Mum had a singer machine.. not sure what happened to it.. but then I found one in a charity shop, so of course I had to buy it 😊 What a lovely video ❤️
Thanks Helen!
Have a lovely and steady 2022, dears, stunning to see the last castle tour.
Fun to see you try out the caviar. If you enjoyed it enough to do it again, find a tiny shell spoon (should be easy in France) and ditch those metal (and silver) spoons which can change the taste of the caviar for the worse.
WOW St Jeanne de Cole is beautiful and the chateau - amazing thank you 😃
Venice and Murano are both stunning, enjoy the lovely small restaurants and cafes
Academia on the same side of canal as Nancy Guggenheim museum which is excellent, if you like that kind of art. The Academia is full of huge Titian paintings it's wow, big! I also stumbled into a Violin maker history museum which was amazing and wonderful, I play the Violin so it had special meanings to me. Vivaldi is also played in special concerts in the evenings. And in St Mark's square, weather permitting there are restaurants with orchestra, often 2 or 3 all playing. You can go restaurant hoping to listen to them. Yes, glass, crazy wonderful glass. Of course the Domo and the bridge of sighs, the tower, and the gelato! Venice on the canal, take across the canal taxi, the water bus, and naturally a gondola ride. Awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with the world. ♥️ And congratulations on your bravery in trying new things (and your honest reaction when you do 😁).
It would be nice if the videos could end with some sort of end-credits or “fin” image - I’m never quite sure whether it’s actually done; your videos seem to end quite abruptly.
When I go to check, TH-cam erases my record of having watched the video and I have to fast-forward through it all again so that it shows as having been watched.
Most enjoyable and informative as usual! Happy New Year😘
Steve and Sara - you both dance very well...
Thanks once more.
I’ve become very disappointed with another chateau vlog of late (with their flights of pure fantasy) and I would like to say thank you, for being real and yourselves. It’s a breath of fresh air. Happy new year
I’d have to agree with you whole heartily. When I watch I want to see things that I too could do and enjoy. No Put on airs of haughtiness.
Love seeing the art on your walls!
Thank you! Loved it! xx
A very happy New Year to you all from Phoenix, Arizona 🌹
Missing France so much and so grateful for your video's of the areas around you. This channel is so enjoyable. Well done and a huge hug from Brisbane Australia
What a Happy New Year 🎊
Oh my! You mention of "Oubliette" finally connected the dots to the magickal spell "Obliviate"! It's late and my enjoyment of your vlog was just raised to the Nth degree as my French mind connected with the British movie series. Plus, this is a great vlog as you notice and comment on all the architecture. Huzzah!
wonderful tapestries
Happy New Year and isn't wonderful to spend time with good friends and family:)
Happy New Year from Belgium!
How exciting!
Loverly video ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
What a lovely vlog thank you for sharing
Hi Sara, If I remember correctly, the beds are short because people slept sitting up, or at least not fully prone.
Sarah love the caviar tasting, for all of us, who have never tried. Very brave. Happy new year to you all.
Lovely vlog thank you for sharing
Happy New Year guys from Australia. I can’t wait to see your future vlogs as they are always so interesting and informative. I learned so much on your vlog re your Singer. I have 2 that need restoration, one is from 1901 and the other is from 1943 and the receipt was in one of the drawers. I love that you are friends with Vivienne and Simon and want to add what a true lady Vivienne is. When she was explaining the caviar differences to you she was so respectful and humble about her knowledge. Her advice regarding Venice was explained with the same kindness and was interesting. I have been to Venice twice but never looked at it through Vivienne’s eyes. I am glad you will both be vlogging so I can experience more. You guys are going to have a wonderful time there and I can’t wait for the vlog. Take your wellies as if it’s under a bit of water it will be easier and not as cold on your feet. The guide on my last trip told us that, lots of people wear them😊
