The Escape to the Chateau family shared a glimpse into their once-in-a-lifetime trip

Dick and Angel Strawbridge's recent social media update has left fans stunned by the appearance of their two young children, Arthur and Dorothy.

The former Escape to the Chateau couple ventured to Japan over Easter, with their 11 and 13-year-old in tow.


It seems the family managed to share some quality time together, with the parents posting a carousel of sweet snaps on Instagram on Tuesday.

The photos show smiles all-around as the family took in the sights of Tokyo, visiting the pretty blossom trees, hitting the shops, immersing themselves in the culture and more.

The trip was to celebrate Dorothy's recent birthday as well as Angel's 47th, and it's clear from the photos the clan enjoyed themselves.

Fans were taken aback by Arthur and Dorothy's grown-up appearances though, with one labelling the youngest child as Angel's "mini-me" when they flooded the comments section to express how stunned they were.

"Omg, look how big the kids are getting. Where does the time go. Wow," one penned.

"Oh my goodness @escape.to.the.chateau , Dorothy is your mini me!! She is such a beautiful young lady! What a chap Arthur is, such a sweet kiss for his mama!!!" another fan commented.

Another simply remarked: "Can't believe how much the kids have grown!!"

"LOVE that Dorothy is a swiftie. but also how is she no longer that tiny baby in the carrier when you first had the chateau?" someone else reflected.

"Miss seeing your family so much, Arthur is so much taller than you, crazy!" another pointed out, with someone else also noting: "Happy Easter. It looks like Arthur is the tallest Strawbridge now." (sic)

The siblings'' transformation appears striking in the photos, with a tall Arthur placing a protective arm around his sister as the duo posed by the blossom trees.

In another, the youngster placed a sweet kiss on his mum Angel's cheek as she smiled for the camera.

Dick, 65, and Angel also seemed to be in their element as they grinned for group selfies and also hugged as they stood near the pink tree for a sweet picture.

Further emphasising their blissful state, they captioned the post: "Hello to you on this Terrific Tuesday!

"Hope you had a lovely Easter break?! Ours was a bit different this year as we celebrated our birthdays and Easter in Japan!
