SynopsisWe had done it! We had bought the most beautiful building and it was our home. We knew without a doubt that this was where we were going to live the rest of our lives. But we were definitely still in the 'building the dream' phase. There was lots more work to do!, THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE MASSIVE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, A YEAR AT THE CHATEAU! In January 2015 Dick and Angel Strawbridge embarked on the journey of a lifetime when they swapped their cosy two-bedroom flat in East London for a derelict ch'teau in the Loire Valley. Where Sunday Times bestseller A Year at the Ch'teau told the entertaining and heart-warming beginning of the family's French adventure, Living the Ch'teau Dream is about the years of hard graft that followed as Dick and Angel leapt into action transforming Ch'teau-de-la-Motte Husson into both a thriving family home and a sustainable business. From throwing open the shutters to new suites, to exploring the walled garden, launching their wedding business and hosting guests, no stone was left unturned. With enormous tasks, like installing a lift, plus the beginnings of lifelong traditions, this much-anticipated follow-up includes many firsts for the Strawbridge family. As Dick and Angel recount stories of the next two years at the ch'teau, we start to understand the true extent of the work and skill that it has taken to make this incredible house into a much-loved home. With never-before-told stories of remarkable discoveries, amazing transformations and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, this book is sure to delight and inspire in equal measure!
