SIGNED, 1ST EDITION Living the Chateau Dream: UK Signed Edition by Dick and Angel Strawbridge - October 28, 2021

In January 2015, Dick and Angel Strawbridge embarked on the journey of a lifetime when they swapped their cozy two-bedroom flat in East London for a derelict chateau with 12 acres of land in the Loire valley. Where Sunday Times bestseller A Year At The Chateau told the entertaining and heartwarming beginning of the family's French adventure, as they found their forever home and began to restore and renovate the dilapidated castle, Living The Chateau Dream is about the years of hard graft that followed.

Dick and Angel leaped into action, transforming Chateau-de-la-Motte Husson into both a thriving family home and a sustainable business, and began making their dream of rural life in a fairytale castle a reality. From throwing open the shutters to new suites to exploring the walled garden, launching their wedding business, and hosting guests for Food Lover's Weekends, no stone was left unturned. From enormous tasks like installing a lift to the beginnings of lifelong traditions and memories such as investigating the seasonal delights of the surroundings and having a family sleepover on the moat, this much-anticipated follow-up includes many firsts for the Strawbridge family.
As Dick and Angel recount stories of the renovations that took place over the next two years at the chateau, 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 stories of remarkable discoveries and unexpected challenges, amazing transformations, and once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, this book is sure to delight, entertain and inspire fans in equal measure.
