About this book

A Year at the Chateau by Dick Strawbridge and Angel Strawbridge is a memoir that tells the story of their extraordinary journey of transforming an abandoned and derelict 19th-century fairytale château in the heart of the Loire Valley into their dream home. Throwing caution to the wind, the Strawbridge swapped their two-bedroom flat in East London for this monumental adventure. From infested bedrooms and inhabited turrets to rattling windows and a single working toilet that flushed into the moat, their journey was filled with challenges.
