We were doing a bit of chateaux stalking the other day, it just sort of happened. We started off looking at properties in our budget and then went a bit further, and a bit further,and then some more and we stopped when we found this 19th century fantasy chateau.
We just loved the Harry Potter style staircase.
I might have to change the artworks in the bedroom.
And my own drawbridge.
A snip at 1.790m euros or with today's favourable exchange rate a tad over £1.4 million. Look
here while the details are still available.
However reality at Chateau Nelson is a little different. You may remember we are reinstating the bathroom to it's original position, which meant reopening a doorway and putting a wall back. Like all the best projects nothing is straight forward. The bathroom/hall wall was lathe & plaster and not in brilliant condition so Andrew decided it would be easier to start again. On the plus side the kindling pile is looking pretty healthy.

| New doorway |

| Spot the magic hammer |
 |
| New doorway & partition |
 |
| Not sure the door is really necessary at this point! |
 |
| More wall coming off |
 |
| Shower controls |
The wall is now back and Andrew has started what is proving to be a very challenging plumbing project.
 |
| Frankly I've no idea! |
Think I'll stalk some more chateaux!
