This week at the chateau was so sweet that we were, in the words of Evelyn Waugh, 'drowning in honey'. After a seven month wait, we eventually received the marble for our new apartments! And we received our annual payment - in honey - from the bee keeper who keeps his hives on our land, and created Lalande's first Honey Tasting Platter
Then, just as we felt that life couldn't get any sweeter, we received an invitation to a costume party at the Chateau de Bourneau, to celebrate the birthday of its lovely chatelaine, Erin. That trip was like stepping into a fairytale - her chateau is breathtakingly beautiful.
But it wasn't just honey tasting and partying, Michael and I also knuckled down to some much needed admin, and we have created a new reservation system for Lalande!
So, for those of you who'd like to come and experience chateau life with us here at Lalande - and taste lots of honey! - you can book directly with us here:

And to see more of the beautiful Erin and her Chateau de Bourneau on Instagram, I really recommend following her on Instagram. Her account perfectly encapsulates the highs and lows of chateau life and restoration:
