The “screams” from the sunflowers cracked me up!
I roared with laughter.
Me too! So funny! 😂😂😂😂
Likewise! A good belly laugh at the end of the day!
Indeed! 🤣😂🤣
Dan and the Dancing Peacocks exclusive matinee performance, today only! Can't wait to see the shots from the new toy! Beautiful pictures of the chapel, the quiet heart of LaLonde.
Dan, I really liked the opening shot coming out of the Chapel. Then the grooving-along peacock.
New drone is super exciting.
Cheers
Hope all is okay chez vous! Worried.
So Annalise is getting her couch tomorrow. “Other toys also”. Rooting for you Annalise!
Good one Annie🤣
That was on order
You making sound like a game. It’s no different than buying a new lawnmower for the grass business. Why is it always seem to make it a tit for tat.
@@Daihatsu_Hijet I guess I’m being selfish in wanting Annalise to have a nice new couch. My bad!
@@runrunrun2259 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻it’s been that way though.
I have no idea why I am addicted to your vlog. It's better than ice cream, well..................less calories than!
Less guilt afterwards as well.
Plant Vanilla Strawberry Hydrangeas around the edge of the chateau where the sunflowers were! That would be SO LaLande!
Hydrangeas would be great as a fall "don't leave the boarder looking so-o-o empty and sad yet" plant. The flowers are gorgeous most of the summer and very frequently last into the fall. Sometimes, they fade a bit but even then thy look great. If they were put here and there you could mix in other plants too. They just would need plenty of water in the sunnier spots near the wall. Another plus is that Stephanie has been saying she would love to have some of these plants.
Agreed! I have 3 to plant in my own yard, they are beautiful, full shrub, huge white flowers turns to pink with shorter days. I think Stephanie would approve!
SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU GETTING A NEW DRONE _ YAAAAY
One suggestion for a Fall replacement for your drooping sunflowers: how about an entire bank of chrysanthemums in front of the Chateau?
Mummy will like that you took time to blend out the digger tracks in her garden. I think the screaming sunflower 🌻 s.
Isabel must be excited to see all the grounds filling out and intensifying. The work on the grounds & forest is exciting to see. It's what the chateau needed. I love what Davey's planned.
You found your calling in the VLOG world. Love a sunflower execution. Hahahaha
Dan, I hope you aren’t ill. Please stay safe. ☺️👵🏻🇦🇺
Oh and the screams of the sunflowers being killed lol good one DAN xx so funny xx
Allright, allright! Oh, my goodness, just when I think you can't be more entertaining, you are. I just howled when the sunflowers cried out. Dan, you have been a good boy and deserve the new drone. Yea!
Amaury to the rescue, lol!
Screaming sunflowers, peacock strutting with the music, drone footage exiting the chapel, Dan your footage is impressive. Your van worries me. Please get the green beast seen to... ❤🇦🇺
Sadly, end of sunflowers means summer is winding down. 🌻 Looking forward to the new drone, aka fly-ee, video-ee thingy, maybe a new battery for the van, otherwise it'll be the dead-ee, no run-ee thingy. It does need attention from time to time. See ya "tamarra".😎
🤣🤣🤣🤣
By doing daily vlogs you have really grew your channel the others that started at the same time have half the amount you have so great going! Enjoy your vlogs. Thank you
Shout out and high five to another Hammond
Love the shot coming out of the chapel!!!!!!! The Sunflowers didn't die in vain.The chickens will love the seeds.Love from Vermont
The screams from the sunflowers 🌻 💛 were hysterical 🤣 😂 😆 Congratulations on getting a new drone. Can't wait to see the new and improved flying thingy. See ya tomorrow 😍 😘
Thanks again for you vlog! What a wicked sense of humour you have! I love it!
Sound effects were great! Cya' tomorrow!
Seeds to replant next year I hope as well !🌻 and as for the shaped lawn areas, plant wildflowers next year.
Busy Bee Dan I see . good idea seeds for the birds. Me thinks a new battery is needed ? Loved watching. See yer tomorrow.x
Honestly, who in the heck gives these thumbs down? Dan - your vlogs are so entertaining! great content everyday and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the music!
They just jealous. He has a good life in France.
You make really good videos! Very creative and interesting! Loved the sunflowers screaming! Who would have thought of such a clever thing!! Well done! :)
Hope you're van's OK Dan, it was making funny noises the other day. Enjoy your drone shopping, more boys toys 😆
Yeah how come no one's mentioning that? That it made a scary bad noise the other day and Dan felt something was really wrong and now it won't start, not even with a jump? 🤔 Why does he seem so unconcerned? Maybe get that sorted before a drone purchase?
I love the sunflower sound effects 😂😂
Me, too!! 😂
Brilliant 🤩can't wait to see what the new drone looks like 👍looking forward to tomorrow 😀🐝🦋🌻
You need some winter pansies and the ornamental cabbages for the ex sunflower bed Dan! They mostly just take care of themselves until spring when you can add some other pretty things!
The sunflowers screaming....perfect! lololol
Sedum (such as Autumn Joy) would be a nice addition to your garden. They turn their color towards fall and are great for bees.
They sell the full seed heads of the sunflowers at our local polish supermarket. The birds will definitely also love eating them
A new fly-ee, video-ee thingy 😆😆😆 hilarious!
Dan where are you I am lost without your daily vlog come back 😂😂😂
Great video! Enjoyed. Love your imagination and humor!
Hi everyone, Dan looking forward to more of your house and studio renovation videos and family life, hopefully tomorrow.
I pulled my sunflowers about 2weeks ago. I could hear them screening as well. They are so pretty and wish they could stay longer. Next year I think I will plant them out over a few weeks apart so I’ll have them around longer 😘 at different times.
Excellent camera control, even to the tempo of the music. Clever !
Yes will be there for Halloween..I reserved Michael Potts' apartment ( the tack room).Can not wait to enjoy my second visit to France.
Envy.... green green envy...... Susan in Hobart
@@susanduff-silsby2695 just have to book the flight..Travel is easy I have been doing for years alone..I work,I travel then work some more so I can travel again..🙂
@Darci deVough ohhhh lucky you. We would love to be there too but in Australia we are still locked out of international travel
@@patmcloughlin6409 luckily I have even had my 3 booster vaccine.I just returned from Alaska and on my way tomorrow to Cancun. Two years of no travel was enough. I feel pretty safe in all the things I have tried to do to make it through this strange time.Travel is my sanity💗 I mentally need it to survive.
I love this channel cause it helps to see exactly what is going on with the country I am visiting.
I have been watch Dan for months and it made me realize I need to get back out in the world.
Empty spots in flower beds can be filled with straw bales, pumpkins and mum's. Classic fall disposable decor.
Chop the large plant waste material with a lawn mower. Divide off small bits from the big pile and mow forward and back.
You can shoot it onto a tarp for ease of gathering. A good old mulching push mower does the trick.
My clever Welsh friend taught me this.
She just throws it directly back on to her amazing flower gardens. But tossing it into the compost works a charm too
Hey Dan, everything OK?
I eagerly await each evenings vlog. See ya tomorrow Dan.
Thanks for sharing!!! Have a great week!!!
The chapel!! Love the opening. Appreciate the creativity and time you put in! Good to know even superheroes have car trouble. 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕
I’m sad mommie didn’t get to see the garden this summer, she would have been thrilled.
I had the same thought. Also, why haven't they been back?
@@taitweigel64 don’t quote me, but I’m pretty sure I remember hearing South Africa’s covid numbers shot through the roof and the Country became a restricted travel zone.
Oh I know. Hope she sees Dan's vlogs, as the drone views are so amazing, the chateau looks so amazing. Love them. So happy that Dan is getting a new drone.
@@annaibarra3447 I am pretty sure Isabelle sees Dan's vlogs. After all, he is her favourite, Dan said so!
Funny how tiny the green beast looks next to Amaury's giant van. 😅
OMG the inside of the chapel is amazing!!!
I thought there for a minute Isabelle was back with all that fast mowing! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 next big purchase might need to be a new van. You need to start working on that strategy plan soon🤣🤣🤣🤣see ya tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Another winner Dan!!!!!
2 days without Dan? I will scream like a sunflower in a castle...
hope everything is allright
Poor little sunflowers. Jack wants be just lije daddy. I want to be your neighbor. Dreamt of rural france since forever. Hope you all are well and safe. You're such inspiration
That peacock was juking to the music. So funny, how did you get her to do that Dan?
Thank you for all your fun filled, happy making short (underline that short) videos.
Awesome progress Dan. Looking forward to seeing the new drone
Just a suggestion. How about planting some preannual bushes like hydrangeas sparsely space along the chateau? In between them plant some seasonal flowers so you have less to do and there's always some plants there?
Great idea!!
I don't think they're putting anything permanent in those beds until the facade is redone.
They’re putting the window back and rendering the facade before any permanent landscaping if any on the interior courtyard.
@@sbennewies yes, true...I remember Stephanie mentionned this.
Boys and toys!
Thanks for the screaming sunflowers, saved me from having to do it. Need to think of some evergreens and perrenials to add to the mix. Looked so good to have plants!
Your vlogs' getting funnier by the day! Timing is perfect. Cracking me up 😂
Everything ok? You’ve gone mia 🥴
Excellent work on your videos! You know how to make them interesting!
Dan where are you, hope everything is allright!
I can't believe I missed this video yesterday. Glad to hear you're going to get a new flyee-thing-picture-taker. WHAT are you getting? Interested. Anyway you do like that digger or machinery in general don't ya? HA!! And the reason the posts are still standing is because of the bracing that is holding them up. Without them, they would be precariously standing unless or until somebody just gave one a moderate push and you'd bend the threaded rod or rip the hardware right off the bottom. Some of us DO know about these things occasionally. So since I missed this yesterday, then perhaps today was drone shopping day and we'll see that in today's video vlog. Anyway good luck. Don't crash this one into the water this time or into the trees or bushes. But new is always fun eh? Cheers mate.
Super vlog! LoL!!! See ya....demain!
I just liked 👍🏽 it in advance; cause I know it is going to be another great vlog, Dan 😊
That music should be your permanent theme music. I love it!
A New Drone....Woo Hoo!!!!! A date day for Annalise...you go girl!!!
You are the bomb! My day just gets better when your vid hits my notifications. 👍
Love your sense of humor 😊
New digger, new studio, new sun roof, new drone, new man friend with a van. Thank you for sharing :-)
Just keep those seed heads away fro the mice - last year I left mine in the poly tunnel to dry out and came back to the mess from their feast.
I laughed reading this, felt sorry for you at the same time. It must have been frustrating to have mice do that. But I bet they enjoyed their feast 😂😂
@@AvaT42 Actually I laughed myself - I had so many heads saved the mice left me enough to reseed this years crop AND give my friend some too.
@Nannie G I'm sure there must be a squirrel proofing method out there. Sunflowers are a must and make most of us smile at their vigor
😡 mice
@@brendaharrisireland need a barn cat. That will solve the mice problem 🐈⬛🐈🐾🐾
I would love a curated herbaceous border along the facade. I felt like the sunflowers were way too high and awkward. Plus my grandfather who was a farmer used to say that sunflower plants eat from the ground with a tablespoon, when other flowers eat with a teaspoon. In a garden they usually grow at the expense of other flowers. When he used to plant sunflowers in his field, he would then have to leave it without planting another crop for a long time so that the soil could "recuperate".
They’re good fillers until the facade is repaired as they add height and are easily removed.
The purpose of the flowerbeds along the facade is to help absorb water that pools along the walls. Given sunflowers eat more than average moisture, sounds ideal for the purpose
@@LCM8992 not moisture. Minerals from the soil. And a flower bed cannot serve that purpose when you have to water it. Doesn’t make sense.
@@jennifercampbell7698 is it bad that I still didn’t like them?
Glad you made it home safely!
👍👏😊 Thanks Dan!
I don't miss the sunflowers! Looks great!
Always love your choice of music
You got some nice sunflowers ... Yes, new drone! Fun
I LOVE that you had veggies and sunflowers in the "front yard" - did anyone eat the tomatoes from out there?
Yeah!
@@escapetoruralfrance they better
@@Daihatsu_Hijet whether they wanted to or not
@@escapetoruralfrance 😏
O my gosh i m worried
LOL - the dying sunflower sound effects!
Uh oh. What happened? Streak is broken!
Thank you for the video.
Laughed out loud when the sunflowers yelled. Lololol
Yay my favorite music is back. Great Vlog as usual. Thanks!
Dan you're amazing!!!
It Tuesday and my video stopped its playing a commercial in Spanish
C’est Mardi 🇫🇷
Es martes 🇪🇸

Ah carumba!!
End of summer day 🥰 See you…..tomorrow ☺️
Sue Hall
Hope you Van has its life back tomorrow 😂😂😂
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀
Where are you Dan? Now I am starting to get worried. I hope all is well with you and your family!
I am so relieved to see your message. I have just contacted @Jimmy Connolly cos I too am worried. I have absolutely no prob if Dan just needs a rest from us ... but to just disappear ... I cant help but worry ... I so hope nothing horrid has happened.
@@marilynmees1690 yes I am worried too this is out of character for him. He could be sick, or somebody in the family. Let's hope for the best!
@@mariannek4593 Dear Marianne ... yes I thought all of those thoughts too ... but I contacted the legendary @Jimmy Connolly (see posts above) and he put my mind at rest. Annalise posted on Patreon yesterday and all seems well. Lets hope for a happy carefree post this evening. Its so odd to worry about someone you dont actually know or have ever met ... but one feels one knows Dan after all this time. sending big love x x x
out of character 😂
I hate dead batteries too
Just want to appreciate how much time that short little first few seconds of intro took to edit, because most folks have no idea.
What’s happened are you ok? Missing your daily escapades. Hope the van didn’t let you down
Hope the van is gonna be ok - I mean after all the new windows etc…
I thought sunflowers couldn’t go in the compost due to a substance they produce to inhibit other plants from growing?? You might not want to use that compost on your garden, might be good for footpaths and weed control tho
I read that seed dropping & rotting inhibits grass. Anyone?
In
We want our Dan back!
Hope you get the van fixed x
Thank you nice video
A beer/wine fridge ia NOT a TOY! Only to be used by a responsible adult....😉 loved the laughing children and the screaming sunflowers!
