Marvellous place to be honest. So high up and everything I imagined it to be. However, as I went round it I realised I had made a gross error in my lead up to events surrounding the 'missing' chapter.

I had made assumptions about the place, such as roaring open fireplaces, grand staircases and room size which the Chateau simply didnt supply.

Hence all chapters previously dealing with the Chateau are being reviewed and rewritten where needed. This is good as it allows me to supply additional detail, not to the point of being anal I hope. It is bad from the point of view that to remodel writing means referring to lost of other stuff to make sure nothing clashes et al. Its actually more time consuming and intensive than writing from new believe it or not.

Also the approaches have been studied previously on google map and any/all pictures I could find online. having been there, again, I find significant details differ in fact from those I have written, so more changes needed.

This means there will be extra time spent on this before I can progress to the  'missing' chapter, but hopefully the xmas target will still be achievable.
