Le Chateau Naturiste wishes you

and best wishes from Stuart & Lucia.

Anything is possible!

I have just added to the bar an inspirational bottle that has a pack of playing cards in it.

So whats so inspirational about that?

Well have a look at the photo below:

The "Anything Is Possible Bottle" is an unaltered bottle which now has a pack of 52 playing cards sealed and in cellophane inside. The only way this could have happened is for them to be placed in there through the open neck of the bottle - clearly impossible right? Wrong - Anything is possible.

The card on the bottle reads: 

"These art pieces are handmade by Vancouver magician Jamie D. Grant and are guaranteed to use unaltered milk bottles and Bicycle brand playing cards still wrapped in their original seal. Whenever times get tough, look over at your magical bottle and remind yourself that...Anything Is Possible."

If someone, a few short years ago had said to me that I would be living a Naturist lifestyle and owning a Naturist B&B, I may have said that sounds impossible. We really do need to be realistic!

Are we Naturists with a textile mindset?

Am I a fig leaf Naturist?

Since living the clothes free lifestyle, which includes my working hours, I find it even more strange that we, as a society, are so clothes compulsive.

When you have Naturists guests come over, do you invite them to take off their clothing to get comfortable or do you default to a textile mindset?

The other day we had some visitors who we knew were Naturists and they dropped in to have a look at the facilities of Le Château, I greeted them naked, as usual and then provided the "grand tour" following which we sat down and had a drink and talked.

After they left I thought to myself that I should have offered them the chance to get comfortable and remove their clothes.

As it turned out I had the chance to offer this hospitality a few days later when some long time Naturist friends came to visit. We were about to sit out in the courtyard and enjoy a cool drink and the sunshine when I asked if they would like to make themselves comfortable and get into "uniform". The husband took me up on the offer and was much more comfortable as a result.

So next time I will definitely make the offer to our visitors to be clothes free and comfortable.

A hard day at work?

Well here is our first real posting from Le Chateau.

As you can see from the above photo we have had some wonderful weather and I am hard at work cleaning some stray leaves out of the pool - a tough job. We have also had nearly a full house for the first time this Spring and as usual our guests were a delightful and interesting group of Naturists.

There are still many things that we need to do to fully settle in but we are enjoying a full time clothes free working  environment, it is an absolute pleasure. So much so that it has become a real chore to have to get dressed to go shopping or to do some work in the front yard.

All this just reinforces in my mind that there is no real need for clothing when undertaking most jobs we do around the home, and how sensible it is as well. I was doing some painting and all I had to do was have a shower to get rid of a few splatters of paint rather than having to wash clothes. Still if you are reading this blog I am probably already preaching to the converted.

With the weather warming up we are starting to take bookings through November, December and early January as many a Naturist's thoughts turn to holidays.

Bring on Summer!

Problem with this blog resolved

Firstly it has been too long since we posted an entry on our blog.

As can be seen from our last entry we have been busy establishing ourselves at Le Chateau and this has lead to what appears to be a compression of time. Also we have beeing awaiting our new Internet connection which has taken a month and we have had to use our portable WiFi and a netbook to keep online. This thankfully has now been resolved.

Secondly in the last couple of days it appears that a site that we link to has been compromised with malware and we have therefore removed the link to this page from the site so we hope now that things will return to normal.

We will start posting again on a more regular basis.

Follow Your Bliss

..if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. 

Joseph Campbell - The Power of Myth
  

Well we have followed our bliss and taken the step to move to a beautiful part of the Australian coast, Nelson Bay, where we will own and operate Le Chateau Naturiste a beautiful Naturist Bed & Breakfast.

We have been guests of Le Chateau over the last few years and believe it is the gold standard for a Naturist B&B with facilities that include, pool, tennis court, billiard room, large tiled sunny courtyard, spacious living areas and a gym, spa and sauna.

All just 2 1/2 hours north of Sydney and it will be a real privilege to continue this high standard and run this Naturist retreat where you can shed your clothing and your worries.

We will be open from the 6th of September and will take our next part of our Naturist journey. We are both looking forward to meeting new Naturist friends and having the privilege of introducing new Naturists into the joys of social Naturism and the many benefits both mental and physical of this wonderful lifestyle.

We are looking forward to welcoming guests to:
