I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖

For many years my Mother had a bonsai cypress as a Christmas Tree. Searching out miniature decorations was a joy every year. And she accumulated quite a swag. I have vintage and hand blown glass. Opening the cases and releasing their shine is a fun day every year.

My little sister and a friend smashed all my mothers beautiful glass ornaments in the basement one day, they made a lovely noise on the concrete floor of the root cellar. The only good thing was Mum got to decorate with modern ornaments of her taste without both my grandmothers being upset with her. Lol🙋🏼♀️ Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight🥰

Mica, you have the most beautiful hair and such a sweet spirit. Easy to see how you and Philip are such good friends. Merry Christmas 🎄

When your aunt said "Thank you darling" she sound exactly like Mummy Isabel!

Its good that the big ornaments are plastic for outdoor trees so the wind wont break them when blown off
