Making Our Château a Home: Christmas in France, Year 3

Welcome back to Château de Puy Vidal! 🍂 To Hear about our latest Workshops & Retreats subscribe to our newsletter at www.ladyofthechateau.com

The past few years have been a long journey. As the year comes to an end, the five of us revel in the quietness and coziness of the Chateau in winter. In this episode, we discuss upcoming projects around the Chateau, enjoy gardening projects, organize the chateau supplies, equipment, and decorations after the workshops, and go on a Christmasy trip to London to celebrate Robert’s birthday and attend the Royal Society of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition.

Upon our return we wrap up our accounting for the year, celebrate Penelope’s 30th birthday, and prepare the Chateau for Christmas, enjoying old fashioned Christmas decorations and farmers market shopping all preparing for a lovely family Christmas Eve dinner.

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from our family to you.
