    Hello dear ones from Me here in Southern Ontario, Canada. Hi, Gerry!! I can't type out enough words to let you know what a delight and pleasure it is to join you through vlogs. Watching the progress of the garden, anticipating Syph and Thor's babies, sharing in the beauty and transition of the chateau on step at a time, fills me in these times of lockdown, with joy. I find myself smiling like crazy when I join in with the LaLande family. You are inspiring for a seventy-one year old lady fair who is missing her family like crazy, but filling my life - thanks so much to you all - with flowers, lemon cake and enjoying my beautiful things to the height. Missing Anton, Marie & Mr. Mystery. :) Love you all. Happy summer!

    Your hair looks fabulous, but yes, quite a change now! Carlos eyes light up ( my partner) every time he sees the tool room where Selmar was working, I think he would be in his element there. He built our whole house so its his dream to have a big room like that! I think the customs rules must be very more relaxed in France, my brother sent me 3 deodorants from the US,marked as a gift and I still had to pay €50 customs fee to retrieve them...which probably makes them the most expensive deodorants ever 😂 I was in Capri yesterday and thought of you dreaming about wafting around in that silk shirt you were gifted recently💕😘

      💔 In Cali: C19 cases are on the rise again after a "soft" opening, peaceful protests & riots that raged on LA streets to destroy all manner of establishments who were already struggling by lockdown.

    The look on “Mommies “ face when Stephanie told her she ordered plants was PRICELESS!!! I absolutely LOVE all of your videos and have watched you from the beginning. It definitely kept me sane during the pandemic and makes me long for a visit when traveling is safe again. All my love and best wishes from Cambridge, Maryland. USA!!!!!

    I was thinking what a blessing and a treasure it has been for you to have your mummy with you during the lockdown period. I know she misses Percy but the time you have together is pretty special. Then to be surrounded by such wonderful friends: Selmar, Michael, Marie, Antoine, and the elusive Nick. I am so happy that you all shared your joie de vivre during the lockdown period. I can’t imagine it without you. You helped make what could have been a dreary time very enjoyable and hopeful. Thank you for sharing your lives and for living life to the fullest even when things aren’t perfect or there are not ideal circumstances. It’s so fun to be part of this. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ hugs from Texas.

      If you read on (America though) CDC's website, it has ONLY affected .02% of the population. Point oh two. That's so much less than the flu. Yes, we must be cautious but locking us a n our homes is ridiculous imo and the masks are taking our oxygen levels down to .12 which is 20% less than OSHA's guidelines. C'mon already. I feel for you guys. I expect in September or October we will be in a worldwide lockdown. The economies will tank. Sorry about the rant; it's affected my family terribly the past week (not because we have the flu ) so it's hitting hard right now

And it's amazing that you've created all the curtains and drapery at LaLande, Stephanie. I'm so happy Gerry is doing wonderfully! Isabelle, you have an amazing new dehydrater--that will be something!

    Another wonderful episode! Selmar works beautifully with timber and Lalande has endless projects for his talent, it was a very lucky day all round when he arrived with his trusty dog Diesel. Mummy has a new object of affection, I will be watching with interest to see how your tasty tomatoes are dried, no luck growing them where I live, possums get all the top fruit and bush rats get all the others, only managed 5 Tiny Tom tomatoes for an outlay of $75... a very expensive salad!
    Stephanie, today you showed just why we all love these vlogs and why viewers send gifts, the fabrics were all stunning, but you made sure Michael had the ones he really liked....
    Isabelle don't worry, people love to send gifts, there are a lot of 'givers' in the world... and Scotman will be back before you know it to make us all laugh! ❤️
