Publisher's Synopsis
Like many couples, Dick and Angel had long dreamed of living in France. But where others might settle for a modest bolthole in the French countryside, the Strawbridges fell in love with a 19th-century fairytale chateau, complete with 45 rooms, 7 outbuildings, 12 acres of land and its own moat. A YEAR AT THE CHATEAU follows their adventure from when they first moved to France in the depths of winter and found bedrooms infested with flies, turrets inhabited by bats, the wind rattling through cracked windows, and just one working toilet (which flushed into the moat), through to the monumental efforts that went into readying the chateau for their unforgettable wedding and their incredibly special first Christmas.
