Dan is da man. Sure wish I had a Dan. The transformation of the grounds are impressive. The courtyard is the first to catch your eye and it’s coming to life, love it.
Love how Philip pitchens in with setting table, cooking, decorating, going antique shopping, adores u stephanie & your mother. He also loves Lancelot as u do.Rhoda Bowen, conyers, ga USA
You are efficient in setting up a system for sorting. The attic is now clean and neat. Have you ever noticed how shy people blossom after being in the chateau with your group? Davy is becoming part of the fun. What a genuine and nice man.
The attic looks amazing .. can I suggest putting the wardrobes back to back down the centre.. that way the windows are each side and walkways are beautifully straight along the storage xx
The French invented the potager where flowers mixed with vegetables and herbs in gorgeous designs so the tomatoes amongst the flowers are a suitable nod to that. I love that the 'Lalande' way is to not do the staid and bland and ordinary or expected but to do JOY instead. Costumes and celebrating occasions is part of that and we love it. Stephanie has shown everyone she meets and us that this is a special way to live life. Stephanie's influence transforms the mundane.
Friends forever…sometimes you just meet a soul who clicks perfectly with yours. That’s how I see Stephanie and Michael. They’re fascinating to watch together and the affection is truly genuine. ❤️
@@zenkiea9663as he said in his one of his latest videos. He never wanted to put his “rubber duck in Stephanie’s bathbomb “😂😂😂 He’s never pretended to be straight though. Always made it very clear , often had different boyfriends stay and gone to visit them . His family is always joking with him about it , all good natured of course. Calling him “the Christmas fairy” , saying he could be the Christmas tree topper since the angel was missing and so on 🤣🤣🤣
A place for everything and everything in it’s place, it’s all coming together nicely. Davy is excellent at having a vision for Lalande and Dan and his helper are great at implementing it. Sad to see Michael go but life goes on, things to do, places to go. Thank you Stephanie and company. ❤️🙏🏻
I love cheese and bread toasted! It's comfort food! Sorry to see Michael go but look forward to his return. The courtyard is looking lovely! The sound of the fountain is music to the ears! Love to all!
Stefanie, your father's decision to purchase a fountain for the main courtyard was good - the one he chose, size & style an inspiration. The plants & their layout work well with it. The view of that area far exceeds the entrances of the chateaux you have visited.
It’s really touching to see Stephanie & Michael bid each other goodbye. They are two great souls & such a friendship that is so invaluable. Just love those two.
The new logo is so lovely! Steve did such a great job, and I’m so glad to see it in the videos! It’s so fun to get to know Sarah a little more. I was really excited when Stephanie said in the Patreon video that Sarah was going to help go through the fabrics! It will be fun to have the two sewists working together! (I will just say…I don’t need the “coming up in this episode” bit at the beginning! I like just starting with the intro music and feeling like the episode happens organically! It makes it feel more like I’m at Lalande and less like I’m watching a show, if that makes sense!) love to everyone!
I love the logo toooo ...just wish the Peacock feathers floated down a little longer with the quintessential "eye" shapes at the end of the feathers showing up. Haven't seen the logo as much 3 yrs. later. And I like just a few snippets that whet the appetite at the beginning ...it's like a 'starter' at the beginning of a meal ...particularly in the longer vlogs, maybe not in the shorter ones.
Michael leaving made me cry. I am quite enthralled with tomatoes in the courtyard, and I think moving the lavender more away from the box hedge looks even better! Thank you to all who make Lalande such a wonderful haven of joy and happiness.
I can watch you all day all night...well almost, lol! I adore Michael. I am his patron first and he was the reason I started watching and became a patron of yours as well. You two are my favorite people of France! You both make this 72 year old lady happy! Thank you to both of you and to the LaLande people and at Basmaignee, the all the Pethericks and their friends.
Back in lockdown for my entire state of Victoria Australia. Time for the sewing machine, Im inspired by the dressing gown mafia to make a gorgeous robe.
It's so wonderful to see things steaming along. The front courtyard is looking stunning! I can't wait to see flowers bordering the facade. Nice to see you and Michael together again Stephanie. It feels like an age. You are going to look so sweet together sipping tea in his little tiny cottage kitchen. It's nice to see Michael happy. Since his trip it looks as though a little light has turned on inside of him. He's glowing. Thankyou for another wonderful video. ♥️
Michael when Stephanie asks who wants a cup of tea 😂 it’s such a mood! What I want to know is who are these people who would go to La Lande and not be expecting a party!? 🤔
Dan's tomato plants in Lalande's courtyard is an ode to the English Cottage Garden that originally was a mixture of flowers and vegetables. There's a British history lesson from an American who loves cottage gardens.🟥⬜🟦 I love that you planted Allium in the new garden around the fountain. Please let each Allium blossom go to seed (don't cut it off!) so it can reseed itself around the fountain garden. Each Allium planted feet apart from one another looks far too lonesome! Alliums planted en masse is a whimsical sight to see. You'll love it! 💜🟣💜🟣💜🟣💜
The courtyard will be so transformed you'll need a new drone video for the intro! Nice to see Michael. The new storage area is going to be a game-changer! Tomatoes bouquets :)
What a lovely vlog sad to see Michael go you all have such fun together. The fountain looks gorgeous Stephanie,Isabelle will be very happy with all the wonderful renovations. Thanks for another lovely escape 😘🇨🇦
Michael is absolutely lovely, thoughtful, and so talented! The fountain area looks better every time it’s shown… it makes the entrance standout as it should. Dan is a marvel at executing Davie’s plan! …even at somehow understanding what David has in his mind🙂🙃😉. Ian is amazingly capable. He knows what is important to Stephanie and one can see how much he enjoys his work and like everyone else, he appreciates being appreciated by Stephanie. He is a Master and he understands Stephanie and her Vision and is prepared to execute whatever comes next…if possible!🌟💛✨🕊 We have much to be grateful for. Thank you to Stephanie, her family, friends, and volunteers who are turning this lovely treasure, with hard work, delicious food, and funny and at times poignant memories into a precious jewel!
It’s pretty routine where I live in the US to plant vegetables alongside flowers. The flowers attract the bees which then pollinate the vegetables plants.
Wonderful to see Michael and Steph together. I do hope Scottman is doing well, I know all about knee surgery, so waiting to hear how he's doing... Get Well soon Gerry! 👍
Does anyone else feel a slight seepage of normalcy creeping in.... costumes getting ready, fountain flowing, old friends popping in... be still my heart [even a return to finishing Michael's cottage?]...
Lalande is really coming into it's own in the warm weather- greening up and budding out. How wonderful to see Michael's mom and sister Sadie at Lalande. I can't wait to see what more Michael does to his cottage with the help of his Dad and friend Sean.
I'm with Dan on planting vegies with flowers in the gardens! Especially herbs - beautiful colours and practical too! I can't wait to see them all growing over the summer months! The courtyard is looking amazing, Mummy will be so happy won't she?
I live in Greece and I check the travelling restrictions between France and the UK very often. Because I want cousin to come and start working on the panelling. I can't tell anyone.... only the people on this comment section. XD
It’s wonderful seeing all the good things happening at Lalande. Michael is such a lovely person & he & Stephanie have such a special friendship ☺️ I hope he comes back soon 😁💕
stale bread or even harder bread, in my household (at least when we have bread in the house), I turn into Bread Pudding. With or without raisins. We actually prefer dried blueberries or dried currants.
The fountain is looking fabulous. How about some garden benches on the interior gravel area to sit and admire it in all it's glory and listen to the trickling of water. Maybe one at each of the four corners.
At 13:32 a black caftan sitting in the back is it a vintage Moroccan caftan? It looks very similar to a Moroccan traditional caftan called Caftan Ntaa which is a special embroidery originated in Fez 🇲🇦, it also looks like a vintage Moroccan caftan from the 70's or 80's , if it is hope you could preserve it Stephanie , it is a very special dress , you can find it at different museums exhibitions like the met and other famous museums 😍
The courtyard looks amazing. I too grow tomatoes amongst my flowers🌺🪴👍🏻😀 It is nice to see the fountain repaired and working again for summer. Gardening is what brought me to your vlogs and I have renewed inspiration to plant clematis and blackberries on my bare trellis which my lazy peas would not grow up lol. Keep up the awesome work La Landers. Cheers to you all🪴🦔
The chateau needs to do low, low white stone walls around the fountain plantings, to match the wall of the fountain pool. And then fill the walled area with dirt to raise the planting up a bit, give it a touch of height. That way the courtyard gravel doesn't bleed into the box hedge beds and it gives a little more of a regal entrance around the fountain.
I think they have to wait until the damp is fixed with lime mortar on the exterior walls before doing much more to the foundation plants. Stephanie has said that is still a ways off. Future project.
Miss Stephanie, love your channel, I am a landscape designer and managed a garden center for many years... if you want worms in your soil, spread bark mulch around your plants and the worms will come and turn the mulch into rich black soil with worm castings ....and the mulch will hold moisture in the soil which the plants will appreciate🌿🦋🥰..Kelly
I LOVE your vlog! I too got reprimanded by a neighbor about front yard tomatoes as “edibles aren’t front yard attire.” My response was to plant figs, blueberries, herbs, strawberries, peppers, and 10 varieties of tomatoes around the front yard. 😊 Thank you for your colorful and quixotic videos! They have certainly helped my spirits during the pandemic.
@@equatorialjourney4478 Said neighbor has enjoyed the figs, others have clipped herbs, and the strawberries are ground cover that the neighbors have all enjoyed. Sometimes you have to have flexibility and roll with things. Most plants can be moved or replaced with some ease. I like Dan’s plan here.
Oh wow that time just shot by, so much going on that I can hardly keep track. Thank you Stephanie for sharing all the excitement, except losing Michael again. Dan and Davey and the Ian’s speeding along with all the improvements. WCL
Dan has worked wonders on the courtyard fountain area. It is looking quite lush! Michael's sister is absolutely stunning. When I first saw her sitting at the kitchen table, my eyes did a double take.
Missed the premier again! My boys are coming for the weekend so I’m tearing the house apart and cleaning everything. I’m sad to see Michael go but so happy to see how fantastic the garden looks. And the attic!
Welllll what a wonderful time I've had between alllll three videos... I've had an exciting time.. lol... anddddd iv just had cheese on toast.. aka here in Texas that's a grilled cheese and with a beer... cheers yall
I can't wait to see Michael's cottage and the progress he's made,he's going to be missed at lalande, lets hope it won't be long before he comes back,🥰🐝🦋🌻
What a complete turnaround in the courtyard from last season to this! It looks so FABULOUS! I think Dan’s plantings around the chateau are going to look great as well. Sad to see Michael go, but can’t wait to see him back at the cottage working away! 🌸
It’s surprising to see planters go in right next to a 500+ year old building. I would think the constant water would be a concern for the building. I thought that was the reason most château’s that I’ve seen are always graveled right to the building. Wouldn’t it be safer to just have wonderful big pots as accents for the courtyard and then keep the walls dry?
Respect to Davey's attention to detail, how beautiful. The attic room is spectacular🥰 Love Sarah ,'is there a decision making criteria?'😊 yummm, cheese toast with class😋👌.The fountain is beautiful👏👏
Love how relaxed Michael gets at Lalande. Philipp is awesome with everyone! Such a special friendship with both these apron-wearing fellows. You must be missing the girls! Glad Steve's wife is there to even it out. I cannot wait till Selmar gets going in the loo! Been watching for the mural to go up forever! What decor for the Porcelain Palace? It's superb watching the symphony of improvements. Where are Nic and Marie and Antoine?
Oh thank you Stephanie for sharing all the updates!!! Love how you make everyone a part of the goings on!!! Everyone just fit right in. I really enjoyed Prince songs so thank you for Purple Rain. Will be so happy when mother Isabella comes back!!! I just enjoy everyone in construction as well, love the Ian's!!! Have a blessed weekend!!!
Bravo Dan! Right on 💚! The perfect garden is a mix of pollinators and edibles. Throw some nasturtiums around the tomatoes, they're beautiful in salad's. I put cherry tomatoes and nasturtiums in hanging baskets around a veranda. You can never have too many tomatoes 😆 get Nicky Positano to teach Stephanie and the crew to can and preserve, nothing beats homegrown 🌟
There is literally nothing I prefer watching more than Stephanie and her lovely friends and projects.
It just brightens your day! 💖
I can understand that 😉
Exactly
Agree.
I always make a cocktail before I sit down to watch. I turn down the lights so I can see all the details
Dan is da man. Sure wish I had a Dan.

Everyone deserves a personal life, 21:26
Marie Kondo asks if something sparks joy. For Stephanie that logically translates to is it fabulous? Absolutely... Fabulous... 😁
My coworker was told to remove her front yard tomatoes. She added a victory garden sign and the association didn’t bother her anymore.
Good on her
Love it!!
That's so great.
Fixed them. Lol
Great response and quick thinking!

I heard it's like the 4th lockdown for u poor folks. How are the small businesses surviving?
Good luck Wendy. Hopefully you it will only last 7 days and the rest of the country will be safe.
Fellow Victorian here!
I’m doing the lockdown clean & husband is spreading the mulch on the cleaned up gardens.
Inspired by Stephanie 😂😂
Everything is coming along beautifully Stephanie Next time Michael comes that courtyard will be in full bloom xxxx
Putting loads of French lavender in the wardrobes keeps the moths away. It's the most effective moth deterrent I have found.
Smells beautiful too 💜
Sounds like a good idea
Isabel and Percy are greatly missed. I love their sense of humour and kindness.
Yes, and Gerald too!

You guys are gorgeous!! ... I love the CL insignia on the video banner! 👍😊
Just hearing you say "fabrics" and "costume cupcoard" makes me happy already
Bravo Dan! Right on 💚! The perfect garden is a mix of pollinators and edibles. Throw some nasturtiums around the tomatoes, they're beautiful in salad's. I put cherry tomatoes and nasturtiums in hanging baskets around a veranda. You can never have too many tomatoes 😆 get Nicky Positano to teach Stephanie and the crew to can and preserve, nothing beats homegrown 🌟
Great to see Stephanie and Michael together again .love Michaels Beatrix Potter musical animals.x
