I have watched it for two weeks now and it is looking very nice but probably not up to your standards. After all, it is show business and reality is mostly not real.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-79828966052599326712020-11-11T15:38:13.947+00:002020-11-11T15:38:13.947+00:00I remember him from Scrapheap Challenge.

Like Rachel and Carol, we have seen them many times ! I think there is a new series starting on Sunday. Fiona is such a hard worker and seems to be able to take on most jobs that are put in front of her ..... she doesn't seem to be fazed by much ! It is so good to watch and most of the chateaus are so beautiful. I would have liked to have owned one but it would have been a bit too much for us !!!
