Escape to the Chateau's Dick and Angel Strawbridge issue update after taking 'break'
Dick and Angel Strawbridge of much-loved Channel 4 series Escape to the Chateau have been left "buzzing" after business picked up again at their luxurious 45-room property.This, coupled with a long UK tour to promote the show, saw the family give in to temptation and take a seaside break."The Chateau has been buzzing lately!" Angel, 44, and Dick, 62, told almost 57,000 followers on Twitter."The Strawbridges hosted their first wedding in 3 years, the first Chateau under the Stars, and the first Day of Decadence..."After a joyous couple of weeks, the Strawbridges took a little break and spent last weekend at the seaside."The update was accompanied by a photo of Angel and Dick's adorable young son and daughter playing in the sand.The recent upturn in business has been a cause for celebration for the family after previous financial woes associated with the chateau had meant they could barely afford their 2014 wedding.Dick found himself forced to take a travelling job with National Geographic, which kept him away from home for months at a time, to be able to raise extra funds.He and Angel purchased their 45-room dream home in the Pays-de-Loire region of North-West France for just £280,000 - not bad for a property with its own moat.However the seemingly incredible bargain had come with its drawbacks.For example, extensive renovations were needed as, when they first purchased the chateau, it had no electricity, heating or running water.The success of the show helped them financially, and they even launched two spin-offs - Escape to the Chateau: Make Do And Mend, and Escape to the Chateau DIY.However they suffered another slump owing to the pandemic, which left them unable to host weddings and events at their property."Our
