Last week we had a much needed little break with the girls and visited Philipp’s family in the stunning South Tyrolean alps. Despite the 2600km of driving there and back, we’re feeling recharged and happy to be back home and ready to get going with our winter projects now.

We won’t be slowing down too much over the winter though, as we are going to concentrate on the next phase of our renovations. After a 4 month pause I’m actually looking forward to putting my DIY overalls on again and finally get started on our chateau kitchen, as well as work in the gardens. I’m also hoping to start on some other exciting projects which I’ve been thinking about for a while too and of course we’ll be documenting it all for you weekly over on Youtube.

After a busy summer and autumn, 4 months of non stop early morning croissant runs, late nights spent baking too many cakes and granola to count, and serving breakfast to many lovely guests, our doors of Le Fleur are now closed for the winter.

We have welcomed wonderful guests from all over and we’re so thankful to all of you who came. We love to share our home and our beautiful corner of Normandy with you all.

If you ever wondered why we chose to move to this part of France, here is one of the biggest reason, Honfleur…it’s magical and the day I discovered it, I was under it’s spell! To see why check out this week’s vlog, now up on Youtube as we show you the beauty of this charming ancient harbour town just 5 minutes down the road from Le Fleur.

A few years after moving to the chateau and we’r

A few years after moving to the chateau and we’re slowly adopting some French rural traditions.

As autumn arrives chestnuts cover the grass, and just a few days before the big storm, we soaked in the warm autumnal sun as we collected chestnuts in the back garden, with my mother in law, Hildegard and my littlest Ella, who it turns out did not quite understand the concept of keeping them in the basket!

Still we managed to harvest more then enough, and later that evening Philipp attempted to teach the girls the art of fire making to roast them on.

Even though we may have left it a little late and ended up cooking in the pitch black, it was still such a fun moment and quite a treat to taste a delicacy from our own 1000 year old chestnut tree. Watch it all in this week’s vlog, which is now up.

Finally here is our brand new 4th guest room the C

Last wednesday in the middle of the night Storm Au

Last wednesday in the middle of the night Storm Aurore hit Normandy. We weren't prepared for 175 km winds, it was quite frightening, I have to say I've never experienced anything like it!

At 3am in the morning Philipp rushed downstairs to close windows which had blown open, we listened as the storm raged outside, hoping our Chateau, outbuildings and protected woodlands would withstand the forces of nature!

The next morning we woke to find devastation in our grounds, debris, branches and trees lay strewn across the grass, and a massive gapping hole in the woodlands where 3 very old Sycamores had fallen!

In total we lost at least 6 very big trees, and our 1000 year old chestnut tree has suffered damage, we need to get in a tree surgeon now to assess the woodlands and 'begin a mammoth clear up.

Thankfully the chateau and outbuildings weren't badly hit, except for loosing a few roof slates that will need to be replaced, so we're feeling lucky that we didn't experience more damage...

Here's a little extract we filmed for this weeks vlog, which you can watch over on our channel 'How to Renovate a Chateau - without killing your partner)
