Escape To The Chateau's Dick and Angel Strawbridge have shared some exciting plans for their home as they have decided to start hosting weddings at their French Chateau again.
They decided to leave their London flat five years ago to buy their dream home in France.
Their journey has been documented on Channel 4's Escape To The Chateau as they spent the last few years transforming Château de la Motte-Husson.
The Express reported that earlier this year Dick and Angel spoke with Graham and Maria McErlane for The Graham Norton Radio Show with Waitrose.
The engineer and designer discussed their latest book with the hosts as well as what it was like for them welcoming guests back to the Chateau when restrictions had in France lifted.
Host Graham said: “For the last year it has been a family home. Is it going to be weird opening the doors to strangers again?”
Angel replied: “I just felt this house was meant to have people around.”
“We have still got our bubble, so in a way, the Chateau is still bustling with energy.
“But it is something that I am looking forward to. I know our team have really missed the energy and excitement of weddings."
However Dick insisted they don't tend to do a lot of weddings at their Chateau.
He explained that at the start of their journey they were going to put two weddings on a week however, that has turned into just 12 a year which makes them feel more special.
Dick described it as having '12 parties' and that he is very invested in every one of them.
Despite getting excited about reopening their wedding business, Angel discussed an issue they had been having with their son Arthur.
She said that their son had built a fort out of cardboard boxes around their staircase which makes it difficult to move around as there isn't enough room.
Angel said: “We have got the issue that Arthur has built a box fort out of boxes around the staircase.
“It’s like he hasn’t got enough room in the Chateau or something.”
Dick and Angel decided to move to France for the lifestyle change which now means that due to the children being young when they moved from the UK they are now bilingual.
The couple explained that their children get to meet a range of different people but mostly English and French which helps with their language learning.
