[@candydonnelly7543]

Here is a little secret, of all my favorites on KZbin, You are my jewel, it’s not only the roses, the chateau, your creative projects, it’s the love you both have for each other. Going from fun adventures to creative trips, you provide me a Happy Heart❤️🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸❤️. Have a productive week, full of sewing and orange marmalade, see you next week. ❤️🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@ChateauLove]

Oh thank you! You've made my day!!! 🏰 ❤️

[@toddmurphy523]

The rug, the Audubon book, the roses, the orange ginger marmalade....just wonderful ! Oh....almost forgot the fresh asparagus!!!!

[@healinggardens-terribowlby3129]

Vivienne , you always manage to pull my heartstrings with your vlogs! It was so touching to have your dad gift you the Audubon bird book, and when you hug him at the end, it’s so lovely. I think it’s because our dear dad who is 84 years old is in hospital (but improving) and it makes you treasure your loved ones so much more. Also when I heard the songs that you and your siblings were singing at the pub, I chuckled because they are the songs that we sing here in Nova Scotia, Canada! How cool is that? You are a lady after my own heart! Can’t wait to see your belle epoch garments!

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you so much. Give your father a big hug from me and I hope he recovers quickly. 🏰 ❤️

[@donnieb7392]

I lost my dad in February of this year. What a treasure your father is and what a special gift and moment. Thank you for sharing this intimate moment. It brought tears to my eyes.

[@ChateauLove]

Dear Donnie, I am so sorry for your loss. Fathers are very special, and it’s clear that yours will always be with you in your heart. Sending you big hugs, Vivienne 💖

[@ellaaltman2137]

The embroirdered Chemises with YOUR initials - incredible!

[@maryannhartzell2958]

What a lovely father you have💫

[@martinethevenau69]

Your rug that was handstitched is absolutely magnificent. Your Dad is charming and what a stunning book on birds he gifted you. You can pass it on to your daughter someday. ❤🦆🦉🦤🦅

Palm trees need lots s of sand in the soil. If They absorb water in trunk so water and allow to dry out before watering again. Well well drained pots for palms! They can rot easily in pots if overwatered. Good luck!

[@claudiamann7111]

What a treasure your Dad gave you. Something very special. Can't wait to see the costumes. Thanks for a great video.

[@cherylmoss3632]

You are really too kind. xxxx

Don't cut the leaves off the tulips till they have died back as this feeds the bulbs for next year. Your orangery is exquisite, actually the most beautiful room I have ever seen.

You are too kind! 🏰 ❤️

[@lisalarosa4546]

Your father gave you a beautiful gift of John James Audubon! Audubon's paintings are spectacular. The purchases of Victorian clothing was a gold mine to me. Love your vlogs!

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

How VERY privileged we all are that this beautiful talented woman, and her handsome wonderful husband share their lives with us! You are both so generous and gifted in your individual areas of your lives. With all my heart I am very grateful that your father and family were part of this vlog. I lost my father at 11 years old on the heals of which came the gradual destruction of my city where our family had a thriving business for decades. It was all a long time ago as I am in my 70’s these days. I dreamt of traveling to Britain and Europe when I was young but other things took precedence. I still love hearing the French language spoken, which I studied for 8 years in grade school. Also Italian and Spanish each for a year or two. I can still trill my R’s 😊! Take care, thank you, looking forward to you next post!

[@ChateauLove]

You are so kind. I’m terribly sorry for the loss of your father at such a young age. We are very happy to share our little corner of the world with you! 🥰🏰💖

[@146agi122]

Greetings from Toronto Canada. I absolutely adore your vlogs. I am a transplanted Hungarian born senior, who comes alive anywhere in Europe, especially in France. That region where you have your chateaux is especially dear to my heart. I am now in my late seventies, thus, no more overseas trips due to mobile issues, but I thoroughly enjoy your weekly vlogs. I also loved your trips to Cyprus, since my only living relative ( first cousin) lives in Larnaca. She now has to visit me instead me flying over. Love THAT island. Your trip to Egypt brought back many wonderful memories Venice too.

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you so much! I know what it's like to have mobility issues and be unable to travel, so like you I have travelled vicariously through others. Now that I can move around freely, it's a joy to share my travels with others. Thank you for joining us! 🏰 ❤️

[@virginiawestcot3111]

What a joy to see my favorite Chateau channel Chateau Love. ❤ I was feeling so stressed (new medicine) and I even canceled a visit from Louise & Larry he was going to push my wheelchair onto the large dock so we 3 could look for dolphins. They will come another day. Your roses are so beautiful! and full of buds. What fun watching you shop for clothing for the costumes. Everything all blended into an exciting video TY ❤ You're the best medicine

[@ChateauLove]

Hi Virginia, your lovely message warms my heart and is the very reason I make KZbin videos. I hope that you were able to make it out to see the dolphins. They are good medicine, too! Sending you big hugs! 🏰 ❤️

his face when you said what else you need to find to go with the trousers 😂 loving the stag statue 🤩 well done on the citrus trees , am jealous 🙂 Grts Yves

[@davidlogan4329]

I just love what you have picked up in the way of clothing. The bowler hat was such a great find and the pin striped trousers too. Knowing your wonderful sewing skills I am sure you can whip up a long skirt easily. Some sort of flouncy long sleeved blouse with plenty of lace will look great. Your hat will look fine with a turned up brim at the front plus plenty of large flowers to fill inside the brim with perhaps some feathers. I am sure you can make or find a cameo brooch too. Your gardens are looking so fabulous too. I think your beautiful bronze deer is fabulous. You're so clever making that ginger marmalade too. I'm sure it is delicious! The very beautiful book from your father on birds is a real gem. I think you might be able to scan some of the coloured plates and then print the images for framing to hang in different chateau rooms. They are most splendid indeed. What a wonderful Dad you have. How lucky are you I ask myself? Thanks as always for sharing such joy Simon and Vivienne. Many greetings from down under, David

Dear Joni, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved cat. We know what it feels like to lose a young pet…it’s just like losing a member of the family. If we could bring even a little joy into your week, then making this video was worth every moment. Sending you much love, Vivienne 💖

[@darlenewaters11]

I can’t believe you painted those bird plates absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@lizarce272]

Your climbing roses probably did need a good trim to grow more fruitful.

[@rayn8740]

OMG! Vivienne, I've grown both Bonica and a sport of it called Royal Bonica. It was the first shrub rose to win an American Beauty Award. They're both loaded with beautiful pink blossoms, armfuls of them. I have to admit that Royal is an improvement of the original. The buds are so perfect and the color of the petals seems deeper. I'm glad your roses leapt back to life. They can be so forgiving.

[@MaryEllen_of_OBX]

I wouldn't vacuum that rug. Once a year or two just fold it up, take outside, and lay it over a clothes line or fence to gently beat it/brush it off. I recommend sweeping and spot cleaning in place when needed. About the palm, I'm not a gardener, but I think pruning might be worth a try. Research that first!

[@foretb1162]

Your roses are absolutely gorgeous! In case you didn't know - chives flowers are edible, just like their leaves. @ 17:58 you can see the mauve-purple flowers atop the green stems. Leave some to go to seed - they'll self-seed near the plant and grow new shoots in Spring. To eat the flowers - the centers are like miniature onions that pack a punch of flavor - wash the flowers in lightly salted water (the salt is not tolerated by insects so they vamoose out of the flowers and greenery) - gently rinse then put unused flowers in a zippered food bag to refrigerate - these will keep for up to 3 weeks. To add to salads, simply take the flowers apart from the "globe" and sprinkle over the greens. Lightly season with your favorite vinaigrette or salad dressing, toss and enjoy or sprinkle a few more on top to decorate. I also add the florets to scrambled eggs, sliced mushroom with real mayonnaise sandwiches and a host of other delectable dishes. They're pretty and are Summer harbingers as much as dandelion flowers of Spring.

[@trinitystarclararose7118]

Thank you for sharing this detailed information. I also love chives they are delicious like you said, extra, ordinary, taste.😊✋

They are gorgeous and so too are your roses, I was in rose heaven looking at your garden. Your orangery is the most beautiful of rooms and what a breathtaking rug you have just added. The book by Audubon was such a treasure and what a loving gift from your father. I can’t wait to see more of your spectacular costume sewing, Simon is a great sport when it comes to dressing up occasions too. Love the bowler hat! 🏰🥰🙏🏻

I every bit adore the Edwardian style of clothing! But wish i could sew and you do such a fine job and under stress yet! So exciting to watch your vlog and actually the name alone Chateau Love, brings one to a feeling of peace and joy. Thank you, Vivienne and Simon, for taking the time to make the vlogs n take o us along on some of your journeys. I know you have so much to do and are busy al the time, but what you do you do well, and that is most important. Great to look back at the whole piece when finished and see that you can feel pride in the efforts and finished products. *Enjoyed watching and learning a little bit about your sewing strategies!* (Nice seeing Steve and Sarah once more, they are a sweet couple, I been watching them as they were buying their Chateau after living in Canada. )

There are few things more delicious than béarnaise sauce with steak! A filet mignon with béarnaise is my birthday dinner every year! Such an amazing treat! 😋🥰😘 Love all the vintage clothes shopping and I can’t wait until the rest of the costumes come together! I have no doubt you will create more masterpieces! I love all the old styles from different eras! Speaking of style... I hate to burst any bubbles but Crocs can be functional, they can be comfortable, they can be quite useful in a garden or hospital, they can also be colorful but at no time in their existence are they or will they ever be stylish! Sorry... not sorry. 😉😂🤣🤦🏻‍♀️😳😬🥴 What an amazing gift from your father! I hope you get further inspired to create more magnificent bird plates or other bird themed artistic endeavors!

Vivienne, your talents abound! There is an app for plants. I don't recall the name. However, not only will it tell you the name of a plant from just a photograph, but it will tell you its water and light requirements. I think it will even diagnose your plant from a photograph and tell you if it needs more or less water, etc. I think Philipp and Anna had it for one of their sponsors. Of all the chateaux shown on vlogs, I think you've done the best job of incorporating comfortable decor, but in keeping with the time period of the chateau. So beautiful and well done! Your father is very handsome. What a fun night with your siblings! It reminded me of an Irish pub.

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you! I’ll definitely search for that app. I’ll pass your lovely compliment on to my father. He is very handsome indeed! 🥰🏰💖
