Are you thinking French Weekender?
Thinking, āWhat am I doing here?ā
Someone could certainly arrange a weekend viewing & then hold an impromptu bake-off there!
Looks lovely.
Grab an EU foothold before it becomes ādifficultā.
Very nice ! The price is rather attractive alsoā¦
But you live in āthe best town to live in in Englandā so wtf?
Iāve been watching a bit of the programme with Dick Strawbridge trying to do up a similarly ambitious chateau with his challenging new wife in tow. Life may be too short.
Wasnāt he a character in Trumpton ?

I worked for him in the Signals, he was a Lt Col and a bit of a mad genius.
Yes she is a bit of a hipster type, poor ole dick.
Ha, I ran into Dick Strawbridge a couple of times when I worked for the MoD, I was doing some finance courses at Worthy Down, and he must have been doing something similar. My civil service rank was equivalent to captain at the time, so I got to use the orificers mess. He was a Major then, Iirc, and getting fairly well known from Scrapheap Challenge. He was really good fun to spend time with, if a bit of a lunatic. If you ever get into a drinking contest with him, youāll probably loseā¦
And if I was close to retirement that place in the OP would be a no brainer, Iād sell up and be over there like a shot.
I hope they do more programmes, he is entertaining.
