"Can't wait to see these two when they arrive back at the Château next weekend just in time for Mothering Sunday!" Angel and Dick wrote in their caption.
"After a month travelling, three generations will be together again! Lots of you ask about Jenny & Steve…aka… mum and dad."
They continued: "It's safe to say that after decades of hard work… Part one of retirement was being our unsung heroes of support here at the Château…now they are truly living their best lives and making memories like they are going out of fashion!"
Dick and Angel's fans were quick to send supportive messages in the comments section. "So good to see them, they are living their best life, but bet they can't wait to see you all too. Multi generational living has lots to offer! Enjoy having them back," one wrote, while another chimed in: "That's so nice seeing them having a fab time, well deserved."

Sharing a glimpse inside their living situation, Dick told Zoe Ball on the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show in 2021: "It's not like we've been confined - there's so much space and doing things with the children.

Dick and Angel share two children together: a son called Arthur, 11, and a daughter called Dorothy who is ten.
The couple originally purchased their stunning home, Château de la Motte Husson, for just £280,000 back in 2015. After standing empty for a whopping 40 years with no electricity, heating or running water, Dick and Angel have managed to breathe new life into the property, transforming it into a regal abode, as well as a wedding venue.

Dishing on their future at the Château, former army officer Dick previously told HELLO!: "This is the long haul. We've had lots of people saying, 'Oh they're selling', but this is our forever home and Arthur and Dorthy know that and we plan for the future. "
