After some twists, turns and frustrated 180s we arrived at the chateau. Other family members arrived soon after, so much of the gang is now here.

What a place. What an unreal location and fabulous owners and spectacular setting and blah diddy blah blah blah. I couldn’t possibly describe the brilliance of it all, but it’s been brillliant on and off since the 11th century or so, so that should tell you something. Tonight we stood outside and stared at the clear stars before retiring to our room with titanic beams and vaulted ceilings. How awesome is that?

OK, it’s 1:05. Must sleep. Bon nuit!
