Congratulations on your first year!!! What you both have accomplished is really amazing! And what mostly impressed me, was how the sons and daughter helped, young people rolling up their sleeves and getting the job done, working hard in full summer!! Well done you all!
Very enjoyable video! You guys have achieved so much in one year. I wish you continued success always. Congratulations on your one year anniversary at the Chateau . 🎉😊
They came just last week for cake and coffee!! We showed them everything. Everyone was smiling. It was so much fun to have them and to ask them all new, experience-based questions. I wish I’d filmed it. Their visit was pure joy.
I love how you chronicled your extraordinary accomplishments during a one year period. Sometimes people have no idea how much work is involved in fixing up the château or running a B&B. Great job. Love your channel.🎉🎉❤
Amazing! You have truly worked your socks off. You achieved so much in only one year. I am more than impressed. You could do with a break! Thank you for 'taking us along'. It has been very educational. Mille mercis.
Congratulations on a VERY FULL year...one comment. In all of my life, I have never dug up flower bulbs, tulips, daffodils etc. Just tubers as they won't winter through. Best of luck
What a great blog. Looking back can be so rewarding to show you how much you have achieved in such a short time. Congratulations! Bring on the next 12 months and so many more adventures and achievements.
I thoroughly enjoyed your retrospective of your first year at the chateau. What hard workers you all are. I am so pleased that you are getting loads of B and B bookings, I am sure you are fabulous hosts in your amazing chateau. Best wishes from Australia.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary. You two have accomplished so much in one year. I’m looking forward to seeing your progress in the next year. ❤
You & family members are like human wrecking balls....you hit the ground running after moving into your chateau & unbelievably had B&B guests in 2 weeks?? Very impressive!! Not to mention family members that went all in along with you helping in so many areas. Amazing progress & I'm glad to have found your channel!! Blessings!! 🦋🇺🇸
It was so good to see the year in a nutshell. I’m happy to say that I’ve watched you from the very beginning and enjoyed every vlog. You’ve worked so hard to improve the château and transform it into a beautiful home and B&B. Congratulations karen and Beau on one fabulous year & thank you for sharing your journey. Cheers!
What a fabulous first year. It's amazing that you were able to have guests after only 8 months. Your chateau is beautiful. I know you have both learned a lot. Thank you so much for sharing.
So proud of the two of you. Truly a magical place and it will only get better ! I was proud to get my Queen’s Escape postcard in the mail and I have it placed in a very special cabinet that I bought from France. Each day when I work in my office (that I’m not traveling) I look at that picture and I smile thinking of the two of you and your beautiful Chateau. .
You guys are SO amazing! So much achieved in just one, short year! You should be so proud of yourselves! Your tenacity and determination is a great example! Look forward to seeing more developments into 2024! Xx
Thank you very much Lindsay. We are the lucky ones who get to live here, so now we also have to honour that, and continue to work towards our goals. All the best. Bo
Watching this recap of your first year made realize that I have been following you for almost from the beginning 😃! And yes Paul and Hellen are very funny! I follow them too! You have definitely found your way! Keep up the good work guys!😊
You both have worked so hard doing the chateau and all the grounds and learning what hard work it takes to own such a beautiful property congratulations on your first year as chateau owners and keepers hope this next year is as busy as last year well done 👏 keep going you are both amazing ❤
Way to go! You both have accomplished so much this past year. You should be really proud of yourselves. Queens escape is looking better than ever and your business seems to be thriving. I hope one day in the near future that I can convince my husband to come visit France and we can stay in your beautiful chateau. Best wishes for another successful and challenging year.
Karen and Bo. I can’t believe it’s been a year already. I started watching from the first episode and was hooked. You both accomplished so much in the past year. You have so much to be proud of. All the hard work and learning curves you have done so well. Best wishes in the next year. Deborah from North Carolina 😊😊❤❤
Spectacular retrospective! You two have accomplished so very much (with help from family, friends and neighbors). So great to see the two of you working to bring out the best the Château has to offer. I really like that you are working on all the grounds, not just the decorative planting areas. Also, I must say your Christmas decorations were gorgeous. The entire Chateau looked like a Christmas gift! I hope you can use some shots of the beautiful wreaths and red fabric decorated French doors for Christmas cards or something. They were so lovely, that design needs to be a tradition or carry on in some way! Congrats on accomplishing so much so soon!
What a great video to recap the year! Congratulations on the 1st of many Anniversaries! Hope to visit one day, can't wait till then! Time to rest a little with the colder temps approaching! Take care!
Wow it's absolutely amazing how much you both accomplished in a year. Quite incredible really especially with being booked for the summer and Bo still working. You need to pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. I look forward so seeing what new things will be happening at the chateau this coming year! Cheers!
Wonderful to see all your progress and achievements over this first year, condensed in this video. I’ve really enjoyed your videos throughout the year. It makes such a difference when you have family members to come stay and help complete projects too. I remember the excitement you and Bo’s daughter experienced when the first chateau ‘proposal’ took place - I think that working together, setting it all up was a real ‘bonding’ exercise for you both. Keep enjoying what you’re doing and I send best wishes from here in Australia, for the future. 💕💐💕
Thank you very much. All my 3 kids have been a great help. Isabella will be back 2 weeks in November, and then again 2 weeks in December. I’m looking forward to that. All the best to you in Australia. Bo
Well done and congratulations from a New Zealand fan! It is all so stunning and you have all done an incredible job. You are officially awesome!! May this year ahead be filled with all the things you've been dreaming of!!
Loved watching and reliving your first year. You’ve accomplished a lot in such a short time. Love your channel and still watching from Central PA, USA.
Thank you. What a lovely refresh on all you have achieved. Well done everyone including the teenagers on their visits (that doesn’t always happen so well done) I hope you get some advice from local gardeners who will know what grows well in your region. Maybe some large shrubs that will save you time in the future. 😊
@@queensescape when you visit places with gardens you admire, take photos and then check how big everything grows eventually. You have the backdrop of the land and trees so a very good start
From the snake to the bat you have made memorable experiences I remember and provided a host of information more than most chateau channels. Thanks. PS. I still owe you guys dinner for the Cleopatra theme idea. I will be there in the Spring.
Congratulations on the one year of owning your Chateau u both have worked very hard and learnt a lot along the way , which will and has made it a successful business. Sorry I'm not a patron anymore but had to make some cut backs as I'm rearing a lot more beef calves this year and they need a lot of milk powder 😅. Anyhow great video u both take care . ❤❤
I’m so glad you’re here. I was hoping I hadn’t done anything. If anyone knows cutbacks, it’s me. 😂 We wish you the best with your business. Please keep writing to us, F. ❤️
congratulations on your first anniversary 🎉 very nice retrospective …. I laughed each time when you wrote « bye bye spiderwebs » and started weeding … I remembered myself doing those things for the first time in our big farmhouse in Brittany … I didn’t know that the spiderwebs and the weeds would come back so quickly … but worst of all is mold …
The spiders will wrap me up in a web of I stand still for 5 minutes. Right now it’s flies and shield bugs. Me and my vacuum cleaner do daily curtain duty.
Nice review for the 1st year it is amazing how much work you both did along with kids and parents. I want to know Bo have you landed a helicopter on your Hella pad yet? Karen love the art work too. Wonder why we didn't see much from the 2 of you. You were busy!
No helicopter yet. But we believe it’s only a matter of time. 😊 I was beat after the summer busy season. We did have a pause. I just couldn’t do anything. But feeling much more energetic now.
Except for you guys on RUclips, nobody knows the helipad is there. One day the word spreads and hopefully someone will land their helicopter there. Yes, we have been really busy. There was one big project going most of this year that you haven’t seen yet, so stay tuned for that. Bo
Karen your front bed is so big it needs to be layered. Large plants at the back and shorter plants from medium to short in front. What plants grow well in your region? Maybe rhododendron at the back and roses in front and bulbs at the very edge. No need to replant then every year. ❤
You’re right. I fully get the concept you describe. I haven’t done any new planting there since the first time bc I feel like I need a pro to help me plan. We definitely want roses - climbing if they’ll reach up to the terrace. But I’m in search of that local pro to help me. We live in a really rural area. 😊
Hi Karen. You are now in autumn and you want a spring showing in your bed. So you have to plant in autumn or there will be nothing in spring. Try getting help from the nearest nursery to you as timing is everything for planting. The seasons determine your time of planting. Jasmine
@@jasminepillay9049 yes. That’s how we did it last year. I haven’t been thrilled with the help in the nursery I visited, but there is more! And now is the time. You’re right. 😊
its hard to transition..and start a BNB to get income flowing when you need to remodel.. takes time away... maybe get volunteers.... to help realize your goals so the rooms can start looking authentic and get ideas from other chateau owners.. which Im sure you have..Ive watched this family from Escape to the dream, Resoring a chateau do sooo much work.. they ended up setting up an area for volunteers to stay there and work... for free... but its good to get some ideas and plans drawn up if you are not inclined to know for sure what to do... if you want it more authentic looking..would be great with that style of castle.. could transform it into something amazing.... Ive studied Egyptian for 20 years w a authority on it... Ive thought of ideas for your Cleo room... maybe in a month or two I can send some ideas.. drawings... slammed at the moment.. just get help.. we all need it.. Cheers.. good job and its a new life to adjust too..

So much progress and hard work. The chateau is beautiful. Just think what next year will bring.
Thanks Patty. Well, you stay tuned for that coming year. Bo
Blessings on you all on your first year. Such a lot of progress from your perseverance.
Thank you very much Jasmine. Bo
Congratulations on a VERY FULL year...one comment. In all of my life, I have never dug up flower bulbs, tulips, daffodils etc. Just tubers as they won't winter through. Best of luck
I only dig them up bc I don’t want them to grow in that spot next year. The next time they’re planted, they won’t be moved again.
💕 A true labor of Love and how happy I am to have seen it all develop into your beautiful home & business. Great job !
Thank you very much Patricia. Bo

Spread industrial cheap salt on the terrace with the rocks to prevent weeds and grass from growing.
Is that table salt? Industrial sounds different.

proficiat jullie zijn harde werkers allemaal
