Incredible that Stephanie can still fit into that red dress, even without the extreme tightness of it in her youth, how very humble of her to say it was due to the elastic being less stretchy, that is so classy and another example of her character. The optimism, strength, discipline, humility and class that Steph demonstrates is truly an inspiration for me to be my best self.
I had a baby and missed some episodes a while back. Did she have a reason for leaving? Just wanted something new? Just curious because I've missed her and love her kitchen personality so much.
What is so joyous that no matter what is going on in the world La Lande keeps going with daily connection to each other, old friends, new ones, but the heartbeat of the Chateau community continues. I look forward to popping into a life I am unable to share physically but emotionally have a huge investment to my well-being. I continue to join you you all for the simplicity and camaraderie that lifts my day and allows me to escape just for a little while. Stephanie, you make my day, and I continue to enjoy each post no matter the subject. Having you all takes away the craziness of the bigger world madness, sending much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
You don't have to apologise for having a meltdown upon receiving Lancelot's ashes. It's absolutely understandable. I am just so glad you bought Galahad to help you through it.
@@nancyblandin755 Focusing on women's weight and the idea that being "tinier" is "better" is just such a toxic attitude. Too many die from anorexia or destroy their health from bulimia due to this horrible fixation with weight.
Maria,Maria, Maria!So happy to see her beautiful face!Galahad is such a sweetheart, he will grown into those ears.My little chihuahua had the same ears as a puppy.
There is just something about Hani; the way her eyes twinkle all the time; she has such a wonderful expressive face… I have a feeling she’d be too shy to have her own vlogs so a loss for us ;) I wish you’d interview her..
Hi! I love your walks around the garden, it looks so beautiful. It would be lovely to see a drone photo of the garden by the chapel. It looks like it’s filled in and grown so much since it was planted. 🙂
Steph, you wear those dresses beautifully. Maria looks happy and as pretty as always. Same with Kirstie. I love seeing the extended La Lande family on Chateau Diaries.
The art work in the chapel is glorious . The outside gleamed it's so clean. The chicken coop is adorable I would keep the patina the same and not paint the window and the door I think is charming. And Galahad is so sweet. 😊❤ Marie should see if all her hidden faces are still to be found. Lovely to see her again.
I agree with you, the natural color and patina of the window and door are so nice, perhaps just a matte clear coat for protection. It would be nice to finally have the hen house done, it sure takes a while when only able to work on it once a week.
When I saw the red dress I thought it was strange, but when you put on that dress, Stephanie, the dress did not transform you, you transformed the dress. You look absolutely stunning especially in the dress. Well done.
I am sorry if this is a painful question for you. Did you ever get a cause of death for Lancelot? It was such a strange problem. Did he get into something or or have some of health issue? If you are up for it and have answer, would you please share it. I loved the little dude too.
Welcome back, Maria. I know you are not there to cook, but is there a chance that you will play the piano for us? Kersey, you look amazing. Galahad, you are a little darling. Love the garden. Thanks for the fashion show, Stephanie. The chapel restorers are just incredible. Such steady hands!❤
9:25 you made the classic mistake of giving your chicken coop house a concrete floor throughout. Had you left most of it as a deep 14" hole into soil you could have filled the floor with wood chips which would keep all of the smells down, and you'd turn it semi-regularly, and eventually the wood chips would be compost and could shoved out and used and replaced with fresh wood chips. Learned this trick from the famous regenerative farmer Joel Salatin. It's a great way to have your chickens not smell.
I am glad you were able to model the red dress you made. Not only did it deserve to be show cased on a live person to be fully appreciated, the fact that you could still fit in it easily is a commendable feat, not shared by many others. And I quite like the floral dress you were wearing for the day.
Very pleased with the chicken coop, it looks amazing. The chapel never fails to impress, its wonderful, and the craftsmanship is perfect. And the research they they have done! Some of those outfits are truly beautiful Stephanie. Little Galahad seems to be really settled already. And a BIG hello to Marie.
It's nice to see Maria again. I hope she plays the piano soon ^_^ I was thinking Steph should keep the long black lace robe or jacket with the fur color, for a guest to wear to some evening event at the chateau. It really seemed worth it to keep it for that purpose.
We have Gaura growing in a dry garden by the side of my house, it is absolutely stunning and a definite favourite. I highly recommend everyone gets at least one. We have it growing through grasses and even have some providing height in a terracotta pot.
Oh dear Stephanie we totally understand how that could affect you. We have been grieving with you ever since it happened, and even more so because on August 1st , just 28 days ago, I woke up to my pup Gretchen of almost 11 years, taking her last breath, and my husband and I fell on our knees to hug her as she passed. I literally have wept every day since and after 30 wonderful years of owning Beautiful Black Doberman Pinchers, our home and property feels fo empty, nothing makes sense, and its like you said a few videos back, "You have all this love, where do you give it now"??? Thats how I feel. My parrots and 2 year old Shepard are getting a ton of hugs and kisses and of course my darling husband!!! But I miss her sooooo much. And on August 12th, We brought her ashes home. I am ordering her urn this Friday. Im sharing this, only because I needed to tell someone who would care & truly understand. Sometimes people say, "it's only a dog", but not to me. I never could have children, and my pets are the closest thing to fill that a missing part of my life. So We are celebrating with you on your new Little Galahad and look forward to seeing all that you will share with us. We love and appreciate you all more than you know. ♥🐾♥ Love & Prayers, Raven🙏🏻♥
So happy to see Maria again. And Stephanie thank you for mentioning the name of the Gaura flower. I’ve been thinking of getting couple of those for my own garden but didn’t know the name. Thank you. Love from Prague, Oldrich👠
Lovely to see Maria back, no pressure in the kitchen Marie 🤗... what does Hanni do at the Chateau? Was she a volunteer, turned friend? When did Grant leave, was that sudden? Where are the pug Daddies? and their house renovation channel, I miss them... can't wait for chickens!!
It's wonderful to see Maria again. She really is a talented young lady. Fortunately Marie has taken on the kitchen and is doing such a great job of it. I didn't realize that Galahad wouldn't grow to be the size of Lancelot. I thought maybe he was just small as he is so young. It must be heartbreaking to get the ashes of your sweet Lancelot but at least he's back home with you and Phillip again.
Kirsty looks amazing
Kirsty looks great what are you doing?
She does look amazing
She has lost so much weight and she looks so happy , practically glowing🥰🥰🥰
She’s a beautiful lady!!
Because fat people are unhappy and hideous? What could you mean? Please explain why you need to comment on people's bodies?
It is so good to see Maria again, I missed her piano playing and her sardonic wit, welcome back, Maria!
YES! Welcome back Maria, we missed you! ❤❤❤
What has Maria been doing since she left? I missed her music.
I wonder as well. What has Maria been doing. Such a talented but mysterious person.
Try and behave urself Maria. 😂 (JOKIN) Ur 2nd home LALANDE. MAYBE U WILL HAVE A JOB SOON. 🎉
Missed Maria's humour and cooking. The red dress looks likes so Christmasy. Makes Stephanie look like a present

Kristie looks so happy about the chickens . Maria such a welcome
so good to see Maria again, she looks so healthy and relaxed!
The older dress styles were so gorgeous! They had such classic lines and were flattering to the figure.
would Phillip go through his clothes with Stephanie I wonder. lol
Yay missed her dry sense of humor! Welcome back Maria
I’ve always seen Kristy as an earth goddess. Love her nature knowledge and that t shirt!!!
Kirsty does look fabulous- and sooo happy Maria is back! Hopefully for a while?
Yeaah Maria is back to lounge at LaLande. So wonderful to see her beautiful face. Hello fellow Taurus🌻🇯🇲
This is a totally happy surprise! Welcome back to the lovely Maria ❤
not really a surprise, shes here for a wedding.
@@Hope-sf3dk You have inside information about Nati and Amaury or are you giving a happy guess? 😍
I had a baby and missed some episodes a while back. Did she have a reason for leaving? Just wanted something new? Just curious because I've missed her and love her kitchen personality so much.
I miss her concerts ...I hope we have the happy surprise of a 'bonus-concert' to entertain us ....that would be so lovely!! @@TamingTheWild12
What great dresses you tried on, so nice to see Maria. The chicken coop is looking good.
Lovely to see Maria back at La Lande
Hello Maria….happy, happy, joy, joy to see you back At LaLande
Great to see Maria back. She's the best.❤
What is so joyous that no matter what is going on in the world La Lande keeps going with daily connection to each other, old friends, new ones, but the heartbeat of the Chateau community continues. I look forward to popping into a life I am unable to share physically but emotionally have a huge investment to my well-being.

The gazebo looks so romantic! Davie did good.
You don't have to apologise for having a meltdown upon receiving Lancelot's ashes. It's absolutely understandable. I am just so glad you bought Galahad to help you through it.
The dresses you kept were gorgeous. The red dress you made with your mum looked absolutely stunning.
You modeled them perfectly...
Yes, that red dress was amazing! So, did Philip pull on the tassel? 💜🦝
Lovely to see Maria. Kirsty is transformed, looking wonderful.
It is so great to see you back, Maria!🎉
Kristy looks FABULOUS
Yes I agree and she looks even tinier!
And before she looked unhappy? Don't tell someone they only look good when they are skinny. Shallow
@@nancyblandin755 Focusing on women's weight and the idea that being "tinier" is "better" is just such a toxic attitude. Too many die from anorexia or destroy their health from bulimia due to this horrible fixation with weight.
@@Kiwi-MelSomeone is triggered! That is not what was said, calm down.
@@LaReynedeNeigeYou took it the wrong way, maybe you need to look inward and ask yourself why. It was a simple comment.
I'm very happy to see the lovely Maria.
Kirsty looks amazing 🤩
God forbid you are fat shaming how anyone overweight looks?
What a horrible thing to say!
sunkissed and gorgeous xxx
The restorers do such a fantastic job in the chapel! I hope it is documented well with photos and videos!
The people restoring the chapel are amazing. So much talent!
So much admiration for the chapel restorers ❤️🇬🇧
I actually like the very rustic unimproved door and window on the chicken coop. The structure will be charming.
Maria,Maria, Maria!So happy to see her beautiful face!Galahad is such a sweetheart, he will grown into those ears.My little chihuahua had the same ears as a puppy.
I love Maria's personality she is so beautiful.
I have missed Maria SOOOO much!!!!❤❤❤❤ She is such a treasure.
So have I. So happy to see her! I want to know everything about her time away! ❤
I bet if you put the black lace robe with the fur collar for sale on your website, someone would snap that up in a heartbeat!
Maria is back welcome home 🤗🌹❤️
What a privilege it has been watching the chapel restorers at work ❤
Don’t be sorry for being a real human and grieving for a loved little creature. We missed you but you need to rest and grieve your little one.
WOW is right! I said it about three seconds before you did. The chapel is becoming a spectacular work of art. ❤
A complete joy to see Maria I do wish she was coming back we all miss her ❤❤
There is just something about Hani; the way her eyes twinkle all the time; she has such a wonderful expressive face… I have a feeling she’d be too shy to have her own vlogs so a loss for us ;) I wish you’d interview her..
There is something mysterious about her, like she has a secret. An interview would be so interesting.
Hi! I love your walks around the garden, it looks so beautiful. It would be lovely to see a drone photo of the garden by the chapel. It looks like it’s filled in and grown so much since it was planted. 🙂
Marie welcome back missed your talent and your presence. It’s nice to see that smile on the screen again!!!
Maria!
I was dissapointed we only got 1 min Maria. Kirsty is looking great. X❤
Missed you Maria,you are sorely missed xxx
Lovely to see Maria back. Hopefully she will feel inspired to play the piano while she is back with you! Thank you for the video!
Steph, you wear those dresses beautifully. Maria looks happy and as pretty as always. Same with Kirstie. I love seeing the extended La Lande family on Chateau Diaries.
Always nice to see a familiar face back at Lalande! Welcome back!
It is amazing when older clothes come back into your life. Stephanie you looked gorgeous in every one.
Yay, Maria! 🥳
Thank you so much for all the joy! 🫶💞🫶
Welcome back, lovely Maria!
It's always a pleasure to see the great skills of the restorers. Painting so accurately freehand, incredible. 😊
So good to see Maria back at the chateau - her quips are priceless!
Yea Maria, welcome back, we love and miss you.
Yay!!! How wonderful! Welcome back, Maria! You have been very missed.
Kristy you are looking so healthy! Glowing skin, shining hair, and still an amazing smile!
Ombeline has the garden looking sharp, hard work, such a beautiful sweet lady she is❤Missed Maria so much too🎉
Nice to see Maria back
I'm so happy to see Maria again!
I would LOVE to be able to fit into clothes I wore at 18! Well done on the clear out Stephanie.
Welcome back Maria. I hope we get to hear your beautiful piano playing. Enjoy the La Londe magic 😊
Kristy hair is so beautiful.
Agree! She looks amazing❤
The art work in the chapel is glorious . The outside gleamed it's so clean. The chicken coop is adorable I would keep the patina the same and not paint the window and the door I think is charming.

Unless the old paint is lead-based.
Ура, Мария, очень соскучились по Вам, рады видеть ❤

Great to sea Maria is back she so lovely and talented person
Lovely to see Maria there! Lock her in, don't allow her to escape.
Smiles all around!! Things moving forward around the Chateau:Thank you for raising our spirits every day.
Such an actress!
Maria and Marie, the world is right, wonderful to see everyone.
And Welcome Back Maria 🎉❤🎉
please bring back the original intro!!! it was so camp and truly set the vibe every time without fail!!
I am sorry if this is a painful question for you. Did you ever get a cause of death for Lancelot? It was such a strange problem. Did he get into something or or have some of health issue? If you are up for it and have answer, would you please share it. I loved the little dude too.
Good to see you Maria. Stephanie, your college gown fits, you go girl!
Welcome back, Maria. I know you are not there to cook, but is there a chance that you will play the piano for us?
Kersey, you look amazing. Galahad, you are a little darling.
Love the garden.

Hi Maria! So good seeing you again 😃
Maria - you are my favourite (don’t tell the others 😆). So happy to see you back 💖
Lovely to see Maria back ❤❤❤The techniques utilized in the chapel are mind blowing 😍😍😍That team is amazing 😍😘

Maria staying as a guest is wonderful. Such a good video today, so much to see as harvest time comes.
The chapel is so amazing and we’re so proud to have a star among the amazing details.
