A wrap-up from my trip to France to visit Chateaux.

I must thank you all for your comments on my last post, though based on the poll, not one of you selected option A to tell me this whole plan was just this side of the worst financial decision I could possibly make in my lifetime. Instead (selfishly perhaps?), almost everyone who answered the poll selected B (plan a trip to visit) or D (buy in Tuscany).

And so, I have taken your advice and gone with option B! Next week, I fly to France!

Perhaps it’s an escape, but for this 20th anniversary, I’ve been fantasizing about buying a French chateau. Right out of left field. OK, this YouTube video may have had something to do with it. I’m a little bit in love with Phillip, the humorous film-maker behind the Vlog. He reminds me a little of Arron. Escapism? Projection? Nostalgia? Insanity? All of the above.
