Turtles, Mountain trails and Demolition - Chateau De Pican Ep 08

Bunty discovers a turtle in the garden.
With a heatwave setting in we took a walk in the mountains to cool off and in doing so discovered one of the most beautiful places we've ever visited.
Before Rory headed back to the UK we needed to smash out as much the chateau's back kitchen as possible whilst we still had a van to cart the rubble to the tip.
Jane's find of the day is a bit of a headscratcher (not literally).

Glad to see the turtle was able to get into the pond safely

Yes - I've never seen one in the wild before. It was amazing.

[@melissaeden1219]

Another great find of the day! And I love seeing how happy Bunty was on that magical hike.

That's very sweet of you. Animals are priceless!

❤❤❤ Jane's find of the day 👌 stunning. May I just say you get your vlog's just right from one very big fan xxm

[@ChateauDePican]

Thank you so much. Your encouragements means a lot.

[@francoisebekaert8137]

What beautiful countryside on that hike ....😊🎶

[@ChateauDePican]

Yes, indeed. Totally unspoiled.

Bunty Dog, Turtle Rescuer! I swear, your chateau is an Antiques Road Show all of its own. I believe what you have there is known as a cachepot, a container w/out dranage holes , intended to hold a living plant & hide the growing pot. If you have a plant with nice large flowers they can be nestled into the scallops on the edge. It is really lovely, whether antique or not. Lovely walk in the mountains, Bunty's reward for her rescue work on behalf of turtledom, your reward for Rory's hard work getting rid of the kitchen (it WAS a bit hideous) & for Jane's diligent research.

[@ChateauDePican]

Thanks so much. I think you have hit upon it! A cachepot sounds exactly right.

[@CatMindy2187-o4v]

That was a satisfying kitchen cabinet demo...

[@ChateauDePican]

I preferred watching it back a speed over actually doing the work at normal speed.

[@CynthiaBerry713]

Another fantastic find haha! I'm always grinning watching your vlog lol sorry you're dealing with the heat ugh!

[@ChateauDePican]

Oh thank you. We had a storm last night and it's lovely and cool today.

[@karenhantsche9270]

Lovely to see some local sights----are the horses really wild?? I can't wait to see how you re-do your kitchen. Your ceramic thing may be a cachepot.

[@ChateauDePican]

Ah yes - a cachepot - excellent spot! Well done. The horses are not tethered or fenced. Most are wearing bells, so they may belong to someone, but they seem to wander just where they want to.

[@fionaoconnell5201]

Best one yet, I love the oldest resident of Chateau Pican, what are you going to name her? You guys need to get out more, stunning scenery.... I know I know soooooo much work to do...P.S. Jane the camera loves you

[@ChateauDePican]

That's a great question! We shall call her Tatienne, la tortue. Thank you so much for your encouragement and your love.

[@missisvaskova]

Добрый день. Эта ваза похожа на вазу для охлаждения рюмок, внутрь ложили лед и бокалы охлаждали перед тем, как налить туда напитки.

[@Skedaddle-ft4gv]

Bonjour!

[@ChateauDePican]

Bonjour, ça va?

[@jurgenkading3375]

It is a cache pot.

[@WildatHeart123]

Are these items “on sale” or “for sale”?

[@ChateauDePican]

We will eventually start selling items that we don't want to keep but there is so much else to do that it may be a while before we get around to it.
