We have just had a very long day which I’m about to show to you those of you who saw last night’s video will know that we got stranded last night in Cal because darling little lelot hadn’t had his deworming treatment over 24 hours before Crossing into the UK and we

Didn’t realize that he had to have that so it meant that we had to stay in the north of France for a full 24 hours before being allowed back onto the train and then during the day there was all sorts of excitement because the Euro tunnel was stopped all together because

It was flooding in one of the tunnels and so we were so worried but thankfully it did not affect the shuttle that’s the one where you actually drive the car onto the train to go through so well I I won’t tell you anymore but I will go

Back to this morning when we thought what’s the best thing we can do with an unexpected day in the north of France and of course we found a crystal Factory shop as we’re in the north of France unexpectedly for an extra day we’ve come to the cyle dark Factory shop can’t

Believe we’ve never been here before Cal dark you might all have heard of and in America you might know under the name Lon and that’s because they are a huge global company they were a small family run Crystal Company who started in 1825 but they hit Global Fame when in

The 60s they developed the first method for making lead crystal automatically lead crystal glasses just automating the whole process and I’m sure you’re going to recognize it if I show you the glasses they created their Lan design you will see these all over the place I

Grew up with these my parents had them many of your parents may have had them maybe you had them they were the first really affordable lead crystal that people could buy for their own homes and you’ll also probably have seen them in almost every period production where they needed crystal glasses where in

Fact they’re completely out of place because they weren’t made until the’ 60s nevertheless they’re constantly used as props in Period movies from way before the 60s this is bringing back my childhood to me they’re pretty they’re Timeless they’re still sold massively around the world today this is making me

So nostalgic these are the water glasses I had at home I you like these I like them too yeah so they also do very simple Crystal ones now very elegant much more modern we do love a factory shop don’t we oh I love a good Factory

Shop and over here this is actually one of my favorite sets that they do Vivan Simon have them as their kitchen set and look that that is just gorgeous bit more modern yeah I mean it’s incredible the different amounts the patterns and designs that they still make and it’s just so much more

Affordable than any other Crystal especially the shop for example in this set for six white wine glasses the normal price is 4650 and in the outlet it’s $27.90 not bad for six crystal glasses in 2008 a international the company that own Crystal created a new line that

You’ve almost certainly heard of too and it’s Chef is and they make specialized wine glasses for different types of wines so glasses that are good with mature wines or with younger Wines in so many different shapes and sizes they go in the dishwasher and they’re used a lot

In bars and restaurants around the world they’ve become quite iconic I mean this is their reveal up intense this works for both young wines and mature wines and they’re a real bargain cuz here again they’re reduced from 4680 to 2790 there six glasses but if you buy two

Boxes you get 50% off the second box is not sponsored by the way no I’m just having a fantastic time uh we don’t actually need any wine glasses but never mind Still Loving looking I think I’ve uh I’ve filled that Gap you have as a

Child of the 70s this is just so iconic for me is like walking into it is a bit like walking into M or walking into my childhood these s of Pyrex Style with little patterns on them so GI is a little Museum section because they also make the brand lumac that started in

The’ 40s that we’ve got so many glasses of because they’re always coming up at the local charity shops you might recognize this color from the pink glasses we have in the kitchen they’re lumac and we’re just recognizing lots and lots of things you actually have

That jug for that I did but I think it broke you see those little stripy bowls at the back it had little glasses like that but I think we sent them to imay and also we had some of these some of those they’ve also gone to imuse but

This is Nostalgia City here I love this section and you can see how Cutting Edge the stying was for those days that was not a crystal D no but it’s true look they were really ahead of their time always pushing the boundaries I like the little Christmas decas from the

1950s oh my goodness we have just entered a Wonderland of kitchen equipment I think I better found Marie you and lelot found something oh these are good so I want to get rid of the Ikea glass we’ve got in the kitchen yes a lot them have broken over the years as

Well I know well we use them all the time every day and these are bigger which I like they’re nearly a half price here €2 each 2240 each okay that’s okay yes and this is the Marie Hall well except for these these are for and NTI oh yeah 1664 glasses that’s what Emory

Usually drinks we went crazy uh € each no one tell Emory that was the price okay this we phon Marie as soon as we saw the head K asked exactly what we need for the Kitchener she’s been looking yes she needs that and also this is so good for storage because they all

Slot into each other and then there a handle that just transferred whichever one you want to use at the time and these we really and reusable piping bags and a couple of Lids so Maria is going to be very very happy and it’s all half

Price so I am delighted as well oh yes and the two Pirates Al dishes that we needed okay not the most exciting thing in the world but just to let everyone know what we’re getting for the kitchen I can’t believe we came here to look for Crystal and we’ve ended up buying

Saucein sauce and um daping bags we have just driven all the way back to your channel for take two hey Lancelot do you reckon you’re going to be banned from the UK again will we get in well this is it it’s like a miracle we are finally

Getting onto the train I thought it would never happen because they said it was fine for lot to go tonight but that we couldn’t get the crossing until 1 a.m. we are in the top section which you’ve never been and we’re going to be the very first ones because who else

Would travel at this time of night it makes no sense we are so exhausted but it looks as though we will make it to London in time for New Year’s Eve I was beginning to think it would never happen so it’s now 2:00 in France

But it is only 1:00 in England we have gained an entire luxurious hour so we’ll be in bed by 3 UK time or three fronts of French time UK time four French Time by four French time we’re in bed asleep lovely early night just in time to wake

Up tomorrow and get ready for New Year’s Eve oh my very exciting friends we’re shattered but we’re home and whilst I was unpacking in the bedroom Philip was lighting candles and putting the beautiful flowers we got just at the supermarket in France before Crossing up

On the mantle piece and next to the sofa where he’s plumped up all the cushions it’s the first thing he does when we get here and we decided we’re not going to bed straight away defeated by the journey no we’re having the thing I’ve been looking forward to all along fish

And chips so I’ve arranged a beautiful table for it the Flat’s way too small for a d dining table so we have a little coffee table that we eat at and whenever Philip finds charity shop buys where aren’t enough for laand he brings them here so these are two glasses he found

At the local charity shop in France and today he got water glasses in a really similar green to go with them so we’re already trying our new €40 Lumin glasses just missing the wine in the fish and chips the fish and chips have reach the plate though I think I’m going to keep

It on the plate but in the Box because it keeps it a little bit warmer we have have wine have you seen how well the color matches these glasses that’s because I bought these there were only two at the charity shop at mius and there were €1 each only two and this is

Also vintage luminar so they just kept the original col I didn’t realize that they were luminar as well okay perfect so goes well together and I I love that they kept the original colors whilst we’re eating C at the shadow is uploading after that I’ll be making

Tonight’s video so I’m sorry it will have gone out so so late it’s the last had at the shadow ever it’s over 2 hours long I can’t imagine how much footage that you had to look through go so we are going to watch Endeavor now we’re so nearly there we’re on the penultimate
