Escape To The Chateau

[Richard A Thackeray]

Whilst not being a great lover of France, or the French, this programme has me hooked already

Will it turn into a grander/bigger house version of his wonderful It's Not Easy Being Green series?

Wonder what happened between Brigit & himself, causing the split

Granted, she never seemed like a 'military wife', particularly at his rank, but she was great!

The chateau is not far from where I live, will follow the series.

Their renovation fund is woefully short, Eu45k probably wouldn't even cover the cost of re-wiring!

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Perhaps so, but Dick is (quite literally) a very inventive guy

For some reason Ch4 does not have episode 1 on demand which is a pain, it only has a reminder for this Sundays episode.

Don't worry Hils, when you retire you'll be able to buy your own chateau.

True and what a great place for a CC get together.

I enjoyed the programme and am quite tempted to take Mr R for a Food & Wine Weekend.

Does Mr R appreciate how much you spoil him ?

he likes Ada

Never mind - it was good while it lasted.

You live and learn. I thought chateau was the French for diarrhea.
