It’s a little bit earlier than usual for me this morning Philip’s already got up actually because sabina’s coming today for a couple of weeks so that’s really lovely he’s gone to get her but the reason I have to get up is that anaise is coming to do Marie’s Hair and she

Said that while she was here she would give me lovely wavy hair as well so I’m going to get up and wash my hair just as soon as I feel that I could properly open my eyes hello oh my goodness Marie oh can I look exactly like Marie please

Yes I miss I’m sorry I’m sorry oh no wonder he don’t you listen to that but now that I’m here I I I can feel in my heart that I actually did have something Miss feelings you didn’t know you had yes what is all of this uh these are the vases

That Crow go there were maybe like two I don’t know do we have the first vase I think it’s smaller than we thought opening wise yeah it is very small yeah I think that’s like two flowers but yeah for a bedroom yeah that’s what we thought but it’s

Maybe too small I think it was €3 I like it oh oh yes they are cute and that’s a pair yes this is me a feel of compromising about VES this is what compromise looks like yeah appar Marie wanted something um with a smaller neck neck exactly and I said well if we’re

Doing that anyway then let’s get some CST how many did you order in total six I think that is a pair so seven I suppose simple nice okay if you’re excited I’m excited well I was excited oh that was bigger yes and this was the expensive one this

Is the €1 15 one yeah we went wild in this one ooh I like that one oh oh that’s a crowd pleasa a kitchen pleaser very nice it is definitely Crystal yeah it’s more high pitch yeah rather than that’s glass okay so those two are glass yeah definitely Crystal I love

This one yeah it’s good oh that’s the best one yes oh you look so pretty thank you very much I’ve asked Analise to make it we’re not getting enough attention hello hello hello he likes it Hees he really likes he likes Marie’s Hair as well he was

Very happy to see her I asked for it super curly well more so than yours because I want it to last a few days so it will then eventually just it looks really beautiful turn into waves well done well done we got friends coming around tonight so Mar and I be looking

Super glamorous for thank you we’re going to go and see how amory’s getting on hello Molly oh who can blame you that does look like a good spot much warmer out than in today hello hello hello oh is this the chandelier yes swapping it for for this one so

Basically this one’s a bit small for here yeah I agree and next door there just a bulb it’s also quite High isn’t it feels as though it’s clamped to the ceiling exactly we talking about maybe moving that one next door oh I see what you mean so I think doesn’t feel great

Does it it doesn’t feel Grand oh dear no yeah I know there’s a lovely tapestry great lights no all that’s good that’s letting the side down I just need a longer length of Twi Earth gold colored and some chain okay all right so we need

To order that was it lighting day at the chatau today well we were talking about the fact that as has to order some stuff anyway for the other lights electrical projects that we have these are the lights that were from the U Music Room yes next door when it was the dining

Room exactly going to come in here no I like these in the dining room because the sort of fruits it just feels right we took the painting away here it was very dark and the BCT light that was here didn’t do anything anymore we couldn’t find a bulb that anymore it’s a

Really old picture light yeah so if we move that light here much more light in in the dining room and then we’ll also take and put the other two there and these are the ones from the and there’s four of them so these will go next door so it’s like total

Lighting reshuffle but it’ll be much brighter there’s only one bulb each and so they have two WS there two WS there yeah it do get dark in here be much nicer where these go next door oh already ho sweet and I think they’re all like that oh they look really good in

Here it’ll cover the T the wallpaper yeah I like it I think Marie’s making risotto tonight and I’m in charge of dessert you can see me sort of pointing vaguely towards the thermomix we’re working together again I’m going to make a basque cheesecake I keep remembering Maria’s Basque cheesecake it was the

Best so I’ve got a high standard to live up to but really if it’s only half as good it’s still going to be delicious the reason I’ve chosen this recipe is also that I’ve got a lot of cream chees cheesy creamy buttery things that I have to use up in the House and a bit white look it’s really it’s right at the top is it supposed to be right at the top this is scaring me it is a bit scary but we won’t win unless we you know we have to try to win we’re reaching for the Stars we are okay

Here we go it’s going in have you got the oven on Yes that is dangerously close I also think that’s a little bit close to the element yes end up with a little mini fire in here uh that wouldn’t be good no I’ve done that yeah we will be there I’ve already spilled a bit okay prepare for the smell of intense

Burning 1 hour to go best of luck it’s happening again it’s another one of those days yes better watch out the entire fridge contents are coming out there’s dying stuff around here so dying stuff that’s B half like barely full jar of something so it just needs to tidy up

My bit for all the creams mascap Pony cream cheese good yeah we’re down to one of each now this is very good thank you very much all right I’m going to go check on the chapel room stories all right it’s crazy how much warmer outside it is than inside it’s actually holding

A hot water bottle but no oh here it’s not needed at all I can hear the trusty dehumidifier going from here I look oh they’re all working upstairs again let’s go up there and find them oh was that a TR for for spee for wa we

For and viril got the drying task again so it’s trying to work out which laky gray is going to work for these walls the restorers are at quite a fascinating stage now because now is the decision of how far to take the restor and quite a

Lot of you have asked me in the comments is it going to look brand new will that lose the charm of the chapel and that’s precisely what we have to decide we can go completely new so it looks as though it’s just been built and actually I’m

More towards that side of things because then it will gradually bit by bit over time become looking a little older and more tired again whereas if we leave it looking too tired now it’s going to look worse much more quickly and I keep thinking of my father as an artist I

Think he would want people to see his paintings as he had envisaged them but at the same time we don’t want to make it look too much like Disneyland this completely fake finished Chapel which isn’t showing its age at all so we’re starting off very very slowly benoir and

Elton who are doing the painting at the moment have just done that first pass of the Vault and tomorrow they’ll be having a meeting with the architect to see how much further they can go with without it spoiling the effect because apparently just a few Strokes of the brush and

They’ve gone too far I feel they can go a little bit further because there are areas like this that they’re not going to have to restore at all which have got a lot more color on than the areas they’re working on now I think if they

Bring it to this sort of level of finish then they’ll be matching up nicely with the other chapel and not repainting everything to have a brand new Chapel so this is the phase where it really comes down to Artistry and to philosophy which philosophy of restoration we’re going

Down and there’s no right or wrong answer at this stage just have to feel what works best it is so exciting seeing the colors going on it’s definitely champagne day today it’s buono’s birth day today so we have to celebrate that thank goodness it’s champagne day what is the bottle of

Strange pink stuff this delicious little liquid it says pickled but there’s nothing in it pickled beetro juice oh oh yum what are we going to use the juice for I can use it as a base for stocks sauces that kind of thing keeps forever okay I bet you happy about that I’m

Happy about the sushi day two of the sushi and it has to be finished today so I’m going to make a little corner for myself here some ice with your sushi that’s the way we do our ice cubes here at l in case you’re having an afo here

As a guest you’ll know where it comes from oh dear this meal is the first one I’ve had today so technically it’s breakfast Sushi and toon breakfast of Kings we’re doing mayonnaise Jenga this is the amount of mayonnaise that was in our fridge I think Philip is responsible

For this problem he’s definitely is that’s not going to work and we have four mustards three tartar sauces all started have you seen the amount of hot sauces yes that is not me um there’s more than that even yeah well it’s out of the oven and I cannot

Believe it it’s risen like a sulay I’m guessing it’s going to drop back down I’m just leaving it to cool in the tin it is supposed to be very dark on top Basque cheesecake slightly burns on the very top always yeah come and have a

Look at this look how far it came up wao oh what a day can I have a recipe uh yes in the th mix I just washed my hands so wow that’s quite something isn’t it well who knows if it there yeah lelot is leading the procession over to the

Chapel the iceberg pass the iceberg excellent okay I’ll close the door are singing as we open the door yes that’s a good Idea Che it’s not everyday someone speaking to you in Dutch here yes per how are you doing still working on it yes cheers are very very lovely and so is you hello you culinary genius a culinary genius and I know everyone watching is AE what is the risoto it’s a saffron

And and the peash and the marvelous thing about the peo is it in the window here as soon as we pick them they shoot up again I guess uh who is in the name this could be a bit of a catastrophe at least this comes off already so that’s

That’s a winner right there look what I did you because I made this slightly too big this bit didn’t stick down it’s gone inside the cake was something isn’t that always something and the thing about this is that it’s slightly burnt but that’s on purpose right thank you for

Adding that because I was really worried everyone would think that this was not on purpose I’ve seen it on Instagram so many times and I wanted to make one but I don’t have to oo it’s still quite Gooey
