Squirrels, Family Visiting, and our Second Event | Queen's Escape

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- We've been trimming trees to protect the château and also to keep the squirrels from getting into the attic. Karen's family came for a perfect-weather visit with lots of outdoor projects and shopping. Then we hosted our second major event - one night of a 5-night dance presentation. We can't wait for the Orangery work to be completed so we can expand our hosting capabilities. :)
xoxo Karen & Bo

Queen's Escape was inspired by the 4 years the Belgian royal family stayed at Château de La Tuilerie during WWII. In particular, it is for the Queen. The king took shelter at a different location in France. We've named each of our guest rooms after great Queens of the past and present from around the world. Margrethe, Eleanor, Catherine, Himiko, Cleopatra, and soon our bridal suite will be ready in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
With it's sprawling green meadows, 100-year-old trees, and historic location in the small medieval town of Gluges, the 200-year-old château is truly an escape. With 5 guest rooms to rent and a stunning Orangery, we look forward to welcoming you for a visit or to host your wedding or event.

As an American, it blows my mind that you are bringing a property that was built over 800 years ago into another era. All the people, joys and sorrows, that have lived in this property. . . Amazing! Your renovations are beautiful, period aware, and contemporarily appropriate. I love what you’re doing!
Hello Brenda, thank you very much for the compliments. Our chateau is only 200 years old, built in 1820. The orangery goes further back to the 15-1600s. Bo
Please line the chimney of the Orangerie for safety reasons. A large French woodburning stove with sidedoor for refilling logs (to stop smoke escaping) is excellent. It will look gorgeous, warm, and very welcoming. What fun making all these plans.
Rent a floor machine when your work is done in there
You make sure you take time off even if you have to schedule it
I sure like that advice. 😊
The encaustic tiles are amazing! ❤ .. along with the orangry, etc
That looked like an awesome event! Great to have the local community utilizing your facilities. Happy for you!!
Beautiful chateau. Seems like a great success. I love following your channel.
Here’s for such fluid work environment cheers you did what you can
Your life seems to be filled with cleaning and cooking. I’m glad there are some fun times🤗🇨🇦
Amen, Sarah. This time of year I get a bit more variety in my daily life, albeit less income. 😊
Hope that Bo is better and that his wounds have healed. There are continuously many jobs to be done. You even have to perform as a tree surgeon. Be careful, please.
Thank you very much Sylvia. We are trying to be careful all the time. Bo
Good work...we have them too...nesting time for them...they nest in our solar panels & are difficult to stop them.
Karen we call them stink bugs! They try to come inside every fall as soon as the weather changes! And yes they are everywhere at every door and window. You are not alone. 😢😂❤
My parents call them stink bugs too. I swear they smell different in Europe. Lol.
Sounds like you might need a chateau cat
I’d sneeze a lot more. But I’d love that. 😊
Wonderful!
I see that your aunt planted lavender in the urns. I recently learned that lavender has to be pruned back once a year or else it will get ugly and untidy. Now I understand what happened to my lavender. I learnt this from Chateau Diaries. Please note. Jasmine
Hope Bo s hand is healing. The Orangerie is a stunning building…can’t wait to see it all done. Don’t know where you get all the energy for cleaning…I m exhausted watching you. . Glad the event went well…I was disappointed cos I thought it was a dance party , with everyone taking to the floor with rock music…..but I m sure you ll have one of those😋
Thank you Elizabeth, the hand is healing nice and slow. We were not sure what to expect, but just having such an event and seeing people come to our chateau is great in itself. We hope to do more events next year. Bo
Looks like lots of work.
Squirrels can get quite territorial. My sister had 'kicked some out' of her attic and they kept destroying window trims, trying to chew their way back in.
Wow! That’s wild. I have seen some images of the stashes they can make in buildings. Pretty overwhelming.
We do like to have the squirrels around, but only outside in the park. Bo
Wow!
Busy times ! That’s great 😀
Use vinegar white vinegar on the floor. It doesn’t harm in the floor and it gets all the stains out of the grout too with a scrubbing brush.
That is a great advice. Thanks. Bo
I appreciate that tip. Taking a note.
That was awesome 😊😊😊
❤❤😊
we had the buggers also , every little old ceiling we remove we find loads of nuts , even a ermin stoat was living in the roof , we find him mummified .. well done for the parents to help so much around 👍 the orangerie looks fab🥰
WoW!
Bo Hope your hand is healing well. Sounds like you and Karen have shut down the squirrel highway from the trees to the attic. They can do a lot of damage. Glad to see Karen’s family visiting. Always so helpful. The Orangery is so beautiful at night with the lights shining through. Another wonderful video. Deborah USA😊❤❤❤
Thank you very much Deborah. Yes, I have not heard a squirrel up on the attic since I cut down those branches on that chestnut tree. Bo
Lovely, lovely people.....love what you're doing. Your vlogs are always interesting and so down to earth. Love you guys!!!
Thank you, Norma. ❤️
Another great vlog Karen and Bo. The dance group event looked like a huge success. It looks like you both accommodated them very well.
Hope the squirrels stay out of the chateau.
Yes, I don’t remember hearing a squirrel up on the attic since I cut down those branches on that chestnut tree. Bo
That's a big fireplace 😮
Hej 🇩🇰
Yes it’s huge, you can stand inside it. Bo
Very wonderful program, the orangery will be a real asset, once you have it completed. Grab some solar lights! Don't forget. to start collecting some wood benches for the orangery. Great video!
Yes, once completed in the future, the orangery will definitely be a special building. There are so many bumps on the way. This year we have been working with architects to file a complete dossier, as to apply for the various permissions required for the entire event business to take off. Everything is very expensive, so we have to do one step at the time. Once the required permissions are in place, we can start to think about how we are actually going to do all this. Bo
@@BoSAChristensen You will make it a success. How can it not be.. One day at a time as the old saying goes!
Karen. Nice to watch you guys. Use white vinegar in your water to clean the tiles. You will not believe how nice they will look.
Great advice, thanks. Bo
I look forward to trying this.
