      what a channel ❤ whatever, All this inspiration is answering your mind, No matter how rich or poor, strong or weak you are
      in the end mother nature wins and trees and plants grow all around its a humility reminder for people that they're replaceable 👌 Your pride will not last forever, Therefore, try to do good, or at least not do e,vil, Because you are as fleeting as these
      There must be a,nother life, but logically there is a,nother life, No matter what side you’re on 👌 Be c,areful, Coz this is the most important thing a person can get out of watching these charming scenes

    You guys were speaking about the rounded cabinets that fit in the corners. The reason you see this so much is because people believed that the devil could hide in the corners so they didn’t like rooms with 45 degree angles. If the room had to be built with corners, they would put things in the corners so evil couldn’t hide there.

    This is absolutely fascinating. Olivier Messiaen was one of the great composers of the 20th century. His Turangalîla-Symphonie, a favourite of mine, is considered an innovative masterpiece. I first heard his work as a teenager, when I found a recording of his "Quatuor pour la fin du temps" in a record shop where I live in Canada. That work was composed when Messiaen was a prisoner of war in the German Stalag VIII-A. Messiaen was a pioneer of electronic music, and composed for the first practical electronic instrument, the Ondes Martenot. Much of his inspiration was drawn from birdsong, and his love of nature. The chateau belonged to the family of his first wife, Claire Delbos. Claire was herself a fine composer, and a highly regarded concert violinist. Unfortunately, she developed serious brain damage from a botched operation, suffered from total amnesia, and ultimately died in a mental institution. In your video, there is a large photograph of her on the wall, taken in happier times. Messiaen's orchestral suite "L'Ascension" was composed in the chateau, and a photograph exist showing Claire playing the violin in front of the chateau while Olivier sits on a folding chair and reads. I suspect the photo of the young boy, whose features strongly resemble Olivier's, is of their son Pascal. Notice that there are several tape recorders to be seen, and many reels of recording tape. These machines were still expensive at that time, and it was unusual to own more than one. This is because of Messiaen's fascination with bird songs. He collected recordings of bird songs everywhere he travelled, and the tapes you see in this video were probably some of these.

You know, people will spend multi millions for a new built house in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. If l had that kind of money, I’d buy an ancient home or castle. One of the big problems is that you have to pay for repairs and taxes. What a dream to fix up and live in a medieval castle such as this beauty! Thank you gentleman.

      Great work finding another amazing place to explore and inviting us to come along with you. You go to places that I will never get to go. I’m not able to drive anymore due to a progressive brain disease that has really limited my abilities to walk , to do even simple things that once were so easy for me to do. My memory seems to be getting worse especially after my last fall about 3 weeks ago when I fell backwards hitting my head on the corner of the cabinet I fell on. I’m on 2 blood thinners to try and keep me from having more strokes so I was bleeding so bad that I soaked my hair and gown in blood. When the ambulance EMTs rolled me in the nurse put me in a room right away. The fastest I’ve ever been seen in the ER! My neurologist has warned me that I have too many lesions in my brain to count and I was afraid I was going to die. They tell me to be careful and I let them know I’m not trying to fall but I get so dizzy when I turn around that I can’t always catch myself so I’m spending more time in the wheelchair. I get so bored but it really helps me to watch episodes of you and Danny exploring these places that I’d love to go to but can’t. Thank you for making it fun and entertaining. I love it when Lesley dresses up in the period attire and tells the history of each place and gives us an idea of what it was like living in that time frame. I’m living day to day and thanking God for each new day that I wake up again. I just turned 67 and used to be so active. I had to retire early and I’d much rather be healthy and still working. I’m learning to do what I can do and accept help with the things that used to be so easy for me to do. Sorry to be so long with my note but I wanted you both to see how important it is for you to keep exploring these beautiful places all over the world. I appreciate your work so much! Thank you❣️

    Anyhow this is in amazing undamaged condition (looking at the start of visit).
    The huge trees closing in saying it sat close to im guessing 20 years since property caretaker was on site.
    The coal on the floor in the wine room was to be used in the small kitchen for the cook stove. The wood in the first room was only to begin the fire then the Coal was placed on top and the heat continues through the entire day allowing both to cook and keep the basement warm.
    The large red french book was titled
    (my french understanding)
    "The Book of Esther"
    its an excerpt from the Holy Bible old testament. She was a Queen in the middle East, and the holiday of Purim is in memory of her time and actions.
    The "round discs" were not "tapes" but actually 8mm Film. Very rare method of making your own family movie.
    Someone has removed the projector and screen otherwise you can play them and see the people as they walked around in life.
    The black plastic movie camera seen after was "16mm" movie, and i believe is still somewhat available today but expensive. It was a kind of cassette inside if I remember. I used to have one when I was young but gave it away because I couldn't afford the film cartridges. The flash belonged to a 35mm photography camera which also has been removed and would date to 1964 65 as I have two just like it, one from Germany and the other from Japan. The player seen on the desk is actually a voice tape recorder and used back in the day for sending
    "Live letters"; the sender would tell their story and introduce the children and guests and possibly sing and tell jokes. Send in the post to the relative to listen again and again and pretend they're together.

I perfer 8 track tapes for various reasons because they don't get stuck inside the machines that play them as often as cassette tapes do. You can also change to another track (8 tracks to choose from) and not just two sides of a cassette. The 8 track takes up more room than a cassette, but still loved them better!

    Those crystal pieces that look like weights are silverware rests, I believe. Instead of putting dirty silverware on the edge of the plate or on the tablecloth, you rest them on the crystal so you can use them for the rest of the meal.

    On a side note - decades ago Messien's "Turangalilla Symphony" was due to be played for the first time at the Sydney Opera house. The work calls for 7 players of an electronic instrument called the "Ondes Martenot." As no one in Australia could be found to play this instrument 7 players were lined up from Japan to play the 7 instruments. The day before a careless electrician led to the electricity supply to be cut off in the whole building and there was not time enough to restore the supply before the performance. Performance had to be cancelled. Don't know if the players had to be paid anyway!

    Why Does Coal Shine?
    The macerals (organic particles) of lignite are composed of huminite, which is earthy in appearance. As the coal matures to sub-bituminous coal, huminite begins to be replaced by vitreous (shiny) vitrinite.

    Leslie: I just watched this 700 year old abandoned castle and you asked 44.36 what the crystal things that looked like dumbells were. They are knife rests, they are placed by the plate on the table and when you use the knife instead of putting it on the plate you put the blade on this knife rest. Also at 43.32 the books that you show are beautiful and some are very small. I don't know about Europe but in America the antique dealers would love to have them. We don't care what language they are in because people that build large homes with big book cases like to have books with beautiful leather abindings, that will show up in the bookcase. They don't care what the book says. That kind of book would be easy to sell especially in the South. Maybe someone could get the law changed so that the contents of the castle could be sold before it is all destroyed by the enviroment, and the money divided among the owners. I don't think we have any laws in the US about abandoned property. I'll be watching again tomorrow. Thanks for all you do. Bob Law

    My grandpa in Indiana lived in a two story farm house with a large limestone foundation & basement.
    A large coal furnace in the middle of the basement supplied heat too the entire house for several hours.
    Though he would never add coal to the furnace after supper, so we awoke on the 2nd floor freezing each morning. Talk about a chineese fire drill each morning.

    hy Lesley, the two tape recorders, what you called them , where actually Players, where you play back these recorded film bands you saw. The German word for them are "Tonbandgerat": The film Camera must have been missing. The small crystal thingies that looked like lil weight lifting things, dumbbells, are Knife rests. They are used when you have dinner to rest your knife on, as not to soil the table linens.

    Hi have been watching many of your videos of abandoned castles....really tragic to see them decaying and so much valuable decor and furniture just being destroyed.....I have a question! Have you been in contact with any owners before entering properties? Or do you just walk in? It's unbelievable that these castles don't get looted on their property when anyone can get in? Is there no way for you to get hold of any owner of these abandoned castles and thus find out more!? That would be interesting! Maybe one of the castles could get a new owner that way!? I guess not all of these castles are even listed for sale so how is anyone going to save one of them when no one knows they exist? You should contact an owner/responsible person and ask for permission to show the castle to the public, so maybe some castle will be lucky enough to get a new owner who can maintain and renovate! Seems completely crazy to do nothing more than just film.....the castles need to be shown if they are to get a new owner and be saved!! Please think about it👍👍🙂
