Blown away by Le Chateau
Because you are my friends out there I wanted to share this with you. I always get slightly stressed when a new bunch of guests appear. Supposing they don't feel the same way about Le Chateau as I do ? supposing there are frowns as I give them the tour, I ALWAYS worry.
And then suddenly the drive is full of cars as they all appear, 13 to be exact, and then we begin the tour to explain the house. And oh, the look on their faces as they were led from room to room. I won't say more because I don't need to do self promotion here, but in five minutes I felt real good and knew I had got it right. And that just means an awful lot to me.

Yes we go through the same on a much smaller scale with Cess Pit Cottages - we have put a lot into ours and it matters to us that people are happy here.

Yes, Sally, I can have those same butterflies arriving almost every day at the shop.
They fly to me when I am expecting A Very Important Customer, or it is the day of A Special Event, or So Many other possibilities.
I do much better just winging it, when taken by surprise. Better for me not to anticipate.
Perhaps you are the same?
Anyhow, glad to share smiles of relief afterwards. xo

It is similar to the feeling when selling your home and the reason I used to get so stressed all the time when we had viewings.
It is a lovely feeling though when they do so obviously like what you have done. So I know what you mean sort of.

It does look stunning. So good to see your efforts being appreciated Sally. I would always worry too, do understand how conscientious you are.
