We’re Not Living in a Museum, Lionel Finally Snapped Over a Light Switch

This week on Inside the Château, a perfectly innocent viewer question about white sockets sends Lionel into a surprisingly passionate defence of modern electrics, personal taste, and why we have absolutely no intention of turning our home into a museum.We also chat about Monty the mower’s growing personality, whether robots deserve tea breaks, the impossible business of finding curtains, five years of living at the château, why we need to escape the place occasionally to appreciate it properly, and a more personal update from Lionel about his recent type 2 diabetes diagnosis and the changes that now come with it.Warm, wandering, occasionally ranty — exactly as a bi-weekly château podcast should be.Lionel & Claire xxx👉 BUY US A COFFEE (guaranteed video reply!)Prefer a one-off way to support the adventure?
