I know, right? I could listen to her for hours!!

[@crae3422]

Absolutely love the "monastic" bedroom. It's very restful and comfortable. Bravo! Love your orchard too.

I love Ashley's singing. Such a beautiful voice. You're such a great hostess Vivienne.

[@ellebelle8515]

"it's a bit monastic at the moment." 😆 You are so delightful, Vivienne. To most guests, your 'monastic' room would be beautiful. I realize you host on another level. Your sister Ashley is an incredible singer. You are a very talented family.

[@ValentinaStJohn-cv6fu]

Vivienne, what a beautiful feat you pulled off with that bedroom in 1 hour while vlogging at the same time! You never cease to impress with all your capabilities & talents. We love you and your family!

[@amandahugo1421]

Cinderella needed help from her fairy godmother today.😅 You did a great job on the room Vivienne. I know your guests love your attention to detail and you and Simon's hospitality. Looking forward to Paris vlog.❤❤

[@mariedowling3837]

So fun of the girls to arrive in matching "French" outfits 🥖😂 What an amazing crop of fruit you have! 🍑🍏And deliciously prepared by the 'girls downstairs'. Finally, the pièce de résistance: Ashley's room: a triumph! Luxury bed and linen, hot and cold service station, freshly waxed floor and maximalist bathroom 🥰 Ashley may never want to leave this monastary😂 Well done to all, have fun!

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

This episode had everything I love-gardening, decorating, and celebrating with friends. What a joy!

[@edwardulrich1515]

Whew! 😂 Vivienne, you did it and with seconds to spare. 😅 I'm sure your sister will enjoy her stay in the "temporary" setting. I adore your spare furniture and the carpet works well, too. Ashley's singing in the background really sets the mood 😍.

[@ritawilkinson401]

A lot of the people who have a chateau need to hire you to advise them how to decorate their home. You have great taste.

[@TaitWeigel]

A beautiful room for your guests. You've worked so hard. Sleep well and enjoy your guests for the weekend.

[@kellyhawes9293]

This might be one of my favorite videos Vivienne, I am always so impressed with all your talents. Your life does have its hectic times but you are always up to the challenge! My goodness, your walled fruit garden is truly amazing!! ❤ A stay at your very welcoming chateau is My idea of heaven ❤❤

[@judithclark2823]

Wow! You are a champion, Vivienne! I hope your guests have an amazing time and that you get some much needed rest🥰

[@anisekhan5702]

I just can’t get my head around your multitasking, explaining instructions, decorating, getting the laundry done , setting up the rooms and thinking of us and making a vlog. Candidate for Guinness book.📕

Amazing room transformation in 50minutes Vivien. Simon and Jack are surrounded by lovely women. Looking forward to your next video.

I too am a massive fan of FOREO and the UFO3. I got mine for my birthday this year. My skin glows too. Oooh, I really love the minimalist "monastic" look. You did REALLY well in the time alloted to the task

wonderful late summer day 🍎🍑🌿with songs, family and friends to celebrate harvest and work of a long season ⚜🥂🍾 - you made it, hurray ❤👏chapeau and thanks for sharing

[@ChristineC-nk5fd]

I’m crying for you. You’ve got all these beautiful young ladies in the house, ask them to help you out. You must be exhausted.❤

[@donnakahansky6973]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@malina1239]

She shouldn’t even need to ask for help !!! I would never ever have had to ask my daughter to help out . My daughter is younger than hers , but very helpful and kind and has always helped out without me asking except for a few hard months when she was badly bullied and struggled to “find herself” at about 13 years old when she started youth school ( as we call it) the 3 years of middle school before Highschool starts at 16. When my mom passed away 3 years ago, my daughter was like an extension of me.. she was just wonderful in the organizing and clear up after the funeral . I was busy with meetings with the priest and undertakers and writing the eulogy and calling everyone and inviting people to the funeral, as it was during covid.. , she just took over the practical side of things. From decorating to cleaning up. My daughter is expecting a baby in 7 weeks, she’ll be the best mom. Her goal is to be like me she says, but I know she’ll be an even better mom ❤ She’s really outstanding . I’m so proud that everyone who meet her says so , so I know it’s not just me😂 She’s the manager at a Lux cocktail bar in our city. She was promoted to that after just a few months. She’s so responsible and creative and has given the place new life 😊 The owner wants her to take over in a few years😊 I’m a very proud mama as you can tell!!

[@dennispatrick4999]

I truly can't believe no one offered to help you. Wow.

[@ChateauLove]

You are so kind but I have to defend the young ladies (and the gents, too)! They were voluntarily doing DIY, cleaning the rest of the house, and cooking for lots of people. They did help me strip beds, etc., but naturally thought it would be super-uncool of me to film that! Poor Simon had to help me build the bed and then drive to Paris to be at work the next morning! And yes, I was exhausted, but nothing that a night with friends and family, a glass of bubbly and a good night’s sleep didn’t sort out. 🥰🏰💖

[@ChateauLove]

They did! They did all the other jobs: cooking, tidying the rest of the house and even some DIY! 🏰💖

[@lindaa.3533]

You really are a wonderful hostess! Lovely, clean rooms and good food no matter how pooped you are! Good job!

[@DawnYockey]

I love the room! I will also admit that I like clean, light minimalist bedrooms too. I just find it easier to sleep. A few paintings on the wall or mirror and it’s golden!

[@sharoncherry]

I didn't realize your place had so many fruit trees. Enjoy!

[@roseypeach8363]

Wow! Ashley you have a beautiful voice!

[@minahammonds7511]

The room is lovely all it needs is paintings and a smaller rug with pattern over the big rug it really doesn't need redoing! Thanks for sharing

[@katewestcottvt]

You look tired, dear Vivienne 😮 You are a talented creator, and a perfectionist. You're bound to overdo sometimes. Take care of yourself as lovingly as you do all the others😊❤

[@donnadodman8865]

Wow! That is quite the room makeover and in just 1 hour? Beautiful transformation! So nice to be together for celebrations 🎉❤🎉

[@hispid1]

My mother used to pickle walnuts - it was a bit complicated. You had to prick them with a fork (my job) then brine them for a week or two, Then dry them for a day or so till they turned black. Then pickle them in hot malt vinegar & sugar. Occasionally she put pickling spice into the malt vinegar.

[@susanmiller5035]

You need a STAFF!!! Lolol excited to see how it all comes together!! ❤

[@ChateauLove]

Haha! Staff…I dream of staff!! 😂😂😂 Meanwhile, I’ll make do with a good attitude, helpful friends and family, and the occasional glass of champagne! 😉🏰💖

[@cherrycochrane9677]

You got there Vivienne , great emergency fixup which looks good and can be utilised till you get time to do the final makeover. Lovely get together with friends and family. You need to ask for more help in these situations and not stress yourself so much, Love to all

Pickled Green Walnuts recipe Published: Jul 3, 2022 · Modified: Nov 17, 2022, by Chef Tripti What do you do with green walnuts? The young green English walnuts are used in France and Italy to make a thick, dark brown, espresso-like liqueur called Liqueur de Noix and Nocino, respectively. Both countries have a long history of adding green walnuts to macerate in wine or spirits to produce amazing liqueurs. And….they pickle them. Traditionally pickled walnuts are eaten with sharp cheddar, or with roasts and game. Harvest the fruit for pickled walnuts before the hard nutshell starts to form. . Late June, Early July is the time for this. Pickled green walnuts are sour/tangy, like Worcestershire sauce. It's England’s best-kept secret! Ingredients for pickled walnuts 10 Green Walnuts 2 teaspoons Coarse Sea salt 25 gms Castor sugar 250 ml Malt vinegar 300 ml Water 500- or 750-ml Jam jar or similar Malt vinegar (This pickled walnut recipe uses malt vinegar specifically for the earthy flavour it gives; however, you can replace it with cider vinegar.) you can add another layer of flavour by adding a choice of spices to the pickling liquor. Perhaps try black pepper or allspice and even ginger. Instructions Add the water and coarse sea salt to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the salt has dissolved, please remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool. Wash green and with a fork, stab the walnuts all over Tightly pack the pricked walnuts into a sterilised jar. Pack tight enough so that the walnuts do not float in the brine. Pour the brine (salt water) into the jar to cover all walnuts completely. Secure the jar lid and store it in a cool, dark place for eight days. After eight days, drain the brine-soaked walnuts and place them on a tray. Put the walnuts outside in the sun all day. Turn them from time to time, so they darken evenly. After a day in the sun, the brine-soaked walnuts will have darkened in colour. In a saucepan, add the malt vinegar and castor sugar. Bring to a boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, set it aside to cool. Tightly pack the darkened walnuts into a sterilised jar and pour in this pickling liquor once it has cooled down. Seal the jar and place it in a cool, dark place for one month. Label the jar so that you know when the pickled walnuts are ready. If you have adequately sterilized the jars, the pickles should be good for up to a year. I research for you as you are busy busy! 💖 Enjoy Love your vlogs from Canada

[@Ana-Maria-Sierra]

I agree. It’s rude to arrive on time. 😉

[@cathygesch6817]

The bedroom looks so restful. Just lovely.

[@Stacia-ep9vr]

PLEASE consider adding a washer/dryer machine in that upper bedroom. Since the bathroom is behind the armoire, you can easily add plumbing to the left hand corner (where mini-fridge is) and surely Simon can build a little cabinet around it or hide with pretty fabric. That way, you can have laundry going in basement and there, after houseful of guests and get bedding done in half the time. I also know you utilize outside line drying for towels and sheets, but weather doesn't always cooperate. Also, could the young people sleep in pool area? Use chaise loungers and/or inflatable mattresses. When you think all your DIY projects are done, would love to see a refresh for the laundry area. Nothing major, just a few shelves to reorganize and new paint??? You are soooo creative, I know you will make it YOU!!!

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

That truly was like waving a magic 🪄 wand and having that room done and the rest of the house finished too!!! And Simon had to run right off to Paris for work in the morning 😕 You were talking Marie Antoinette which sounds lovely, but I totally got a vibe from it’s strong architecture it would make a better tent decor like Josephine’s bedroom or Napoleon’s office at their home Château de Malmaison; not necessarily the same color palette. Just a thought…you have a lot of projects we haven’t seen. When you get to Paris you got to take the girls to the Champagne🍾📦Store and get a case for the birthday girl festivities🥳 ✌🏻🫶🏻🫵🏻 🎂🥂 🏰💕

Wow! Ashley is very talented!❤ I love the room you transformed! It’s certainly not monastic. No monk’s or nun’s cell would have a bed that luxurious, or a private bathroom, especially one so posh!

I would love to get them to shine like the floors in that bedroom!

That’s excessive 🧯what do you expect to burn? There’s no roaring fires to heat the Château.
