Cadeaux at the Chateau: SPECIAL BIRTHDAY VIDEO!!!

This is the epic opening of the birthday presents that you so kindly sent! Thank you for an absolutely magical day, I'm overwhelmed by everyone's thoughtfulness and generosity. In 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', all of the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to receive the beautiful gifts that people have sent from all over the world. All of the monetisation from these videos will be donated to a different charity each month. For the month of July, 2020, we chose the British Heart Foundation, in memory of my father, Derek Jarvis. I used to show the gifts as part of 'The Chateau Diaries' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new video series. Every now and then, we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together. It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖 A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 1000 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only out lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!
