I went back in time to Ian's memorial video. What a sad watch, but with an uplifting feeling. Then amazingly, it featured the very first announcement from Dan, about his new Chateau channel and project...which of course many of us watch every day....such a thrill to have you all in our lives....Sandi xxxx
Amuary is the perfect husband! He cooks, he paints, he restores furniture, he builds, he demolishes, he…….there’s nothing he can’t do! Chris is doing a great job with the cornices, they look great. Stephanie you really do have the best team helping you.
Amaury, we heal on the outside faster than on the inside so please be patient, you could do permanent damage if you’re impatient . All the food looked yummy today, especially the log👍🏼🙋🏼♀️
Stephanie, I absolutely love your outlook of life. A cloudy day is like a warm blanket. The construction process of the savoury log. You had me laughing because I’m sure we can all relate. But I’m convinced it’s your approach to life and its challenges that make people want to work for you. Thank you, ive been following you since the beginning and it’s wonderful to watch the progress. Regards from 🇿🇦❤
Amaury is a very talented, sweet but stubborn man sometimes. He often works until he is too tired. He is determined to keep on going. I hope he takes care and does not hurt himself. Pushing too hard.
I agree. He should be off work and resting his hand. We all know that Stephanie relies on Amaury for his incredible skills and there are time pressures involved here, but if he overdoes it, his hand may not recover correctly and that would be a disaster for everyone. Please Amaury, go home and rest. 🙏
Anaury;s face when you suggested that you and Phillip could make a start on the Grande Salon, was priceless. I cannot get over how tiny Galahad looks in Andrew's arms. Andrew is the sweetest big teddy bear of a man. You ereally have the lovliest family, both blood and extended. Looking forward to your Aunt & Uncle''s arrival.
Hope Amaury doesn’t do too much and lets his hand fully recover ❤ loving the team work with you and Gerry in the kitchen. The roulade looked fantastic ❤
Amaury, is not giving over his fabulous work to anyone!! I doubt anyone could do the great job he does!! I can't wait til the Grand Salon is finished!!!
I think Stephanie’s mini minced pie improvisation of substituting raspberries and liquor instead of currents and mixed peel is brilliant !! So well done. Pity I can’t taste test.
For some reason, I trust when Isabelle says something is delicious 😁 you’re rich in nice people, Stephanie ❤ like Amaury, I’m so looking forward to the grand salon being done. It’s going to be so gorgeous!
Love Lupins! Brian is doing great! Amaury never will rest no matter what. You and Gerald did a great job! Galahad is taking Andrew on as he is family and is enjoying his holding him so much! Fantastic Spinach Rolls! Stephanie and Gerald knows how to bake and cook so very well and do well together. Mummy and Percy are so proud of the family!
Hello Chateau de Lalande family! My family celebrated their Thanksgiving this week and my grown children and little grandchildren filled my home with love and laughter. They all leave in the morning and I'm up catching up with you all tonight. Every detail of the chateau is remarkable and done with so much care and thoughtfulness. I love seeing each craftsman do their magic. My favorite piece of your clothing is the strawberry sweater. I want one. I was just looking at my hellebores today, but they have not even set a bloom yet. It will be Jan or Feb before they do so. That creamy double white is very pretty. I enjoyed being with you all today, see you next time.
So many talented people have done and others continue to work on the chateau. I imagine when Stephanie thinks back to the period before Chateau Diaries that she is SO beyond belief grateful for all that has transpired. In these days before Thanksgiving in America I would like to say Stephanie, I’m certain I’m not alone in my expression of and DEEP FEELING that I will forever be GRATEFUL for YOU! Grateful for all your hard work filming. Grateful for all the LOVELY people you have shared with everyone who follows. Grateful for the travels and the history with which you are always such an EXCEPTIONAL guide. I have to add that when learning that Amaury was injured this Memere nearly had a heart attack! Everyone is such a source of joy and inspiration. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. 💕🥰🤗
I suggest while Amaury is recovering he and Nati take a little road trip to visit Chateau de Purnon and check out the incredible restoration going on there under the guidance of the architect who oversees all of the restoration work at Versailles!
Wow weeeeeeeeee !!! You transformed into a movie star for the interview. Jolly good ! What a triumph Stephanie !!! ❤🌴❤🌴❤🌴 Love and hugs from California Matt
Thank you for your videos, your happiness is contagious and I can’t help smiling no matter how hard my day has been and how much pain I’m in. So grateful for your vlogs❤
In my recipe for the spinach salmon roll is cheese so that helps with the structure a lot. You crush parmigian cheese to quite small crumbs and sprinkle them on the baking sheet before spreading the spinachslurry. Then the cheese melts and gives a lot more integrity for the rolling. Maybe for the next try. :)
Stephanie, you are fortunate and Blessed to have Amaury as your cousin, who happens to be a carpenter! Your dinner looks delicious! Good video, and thank you for sharing …
Always so much happening at Lalande. Amaury, you and Nati made a lovely Chilli. Stephanie, your roll looked yummy. The chair looks new again, and the cornishes look awesome. Percy, I love your hat.❤
Brian AND Chris are welcome additions to the whole helpful bunch! I plan to make your savory Yule-log, Stephanie (and sous elf Gerry); genius make ahead for Christmas Festivities. Amaury, even one handed, is a master craftsman. I was recently re-watching old episodes and my gosh it HAS been about 3 years since Amaury was on the verge of starting the Grande Salon. As much as I would love to see Stephanie and Phillip in hard hats taking down the upstairs walls, I suppose I can wait a few more months to see Amaury begin HIS project in earnest. ❓when is the steel beam to be installed? Before Christmas??
Amaury is amazing! Back to work one-handed. Nothing keeps him down! So wonderful to see you’re keeping Chris busy at the chateau and a long awaited job is finally getting done. He’s such a nice guy. Great job to you and Gerald on the log! It turned out beautifully. Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
Hope that you all are able to observe the joyful expectancy of Advent prior to Christmas which has its own traditions and customs too, e.g. decorating the Advent wreath, making an Advent calendar, O Antiphons. Some prepare an all-white meal for the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on December 8th or string lights on St. Lucy's feast day on December 13th. Thank-you 🎆
Stephanie, I think the big cabinet in the kitchen looks nice being light colored. I think it would look nice painted to match the Spode display cabinet. I remember seeing pictures of what the kitchen used to look like, and the walls were yellow. I'm surprised you didn't keep them yellow being that is one of your favorite colors. The rooms would look bright and warm with yellow walls and white/cream cabinets.
What a lovely family day, and it is so nice seeing Amaury relaxed and smiling. I can’t help thinking ,he is not a chateau multi guest person. He is always polite ,of course ,but I don’t think it’s his thing lol. I might be wrong 🤗
I love Jerry’s outfit he looks great in his red and black plaid. You looked beautiful for your filming Stephanie. Your makeup and hair looked awesome! Love your TH-cam recordings very much! ❤
Is there any task too big for Amaury! Your savoury log looked incredible Stephanie. So good to see Andrew again. He looks adorable with Galahad. Just love your family dinners in the kitchen. ❤
Thanks for the lovely day. Filming went well, Amuary making repairs, Gerry’s jokes coming thick and fast and your spinach roulade turned out beautifully. A good day ❤
Re. the English garden hedge: Beeches keep their leaves all winter, they just turn brown so you'll have a brown hedge for a few months, which I agree with Stephanie, is still nice! At the moment it does look a little straggly, but once the young trees start to mature and fill the gaps in the hedge, it will look nicer. The only time the hedge will look bare is for a few weeks in spring when the trees shed their brown leaves and new green ones follow.
Love see you all today as I do every time you post but this was special. Gerald is the cutest elf and just so funny. Stephanie you and Gerald did a great job on the savory roll, and Chili looks so delish. Love beans in chili. Amaury you look so good and always working in something. I enjoyed the banter between you and Stephanie. Please take extra care and don’t push too hard even though you continue to work. Isabel and Percy are wonderful to see each day they are there with you. Marie looks amazing and so nice she gets some days without cooking. Heliabors are so beautiful. Love you all. And that handyman doing such lovely work is adorable. ❤❤❤❤❤
Amaury is really a master craftsman. He’s a hard worker. They would be lost without him.
Well his the number one man there 😊
Amaury in our opinion is a MASTER! We absolutely ❤️him…..and all his artistry. 🙏🇦🇺🇳🇿
He has accomplished so much since he arrived
And, he has common sense!!
Amaury is a master craftsman even with only one hand❤
If you own a chateau - you need an Amaury‼️👍😉
Or two 😂
If there is a unit of craftsmanship - it would be One Amaury.
No doubt!!!
Is there nothing that boy cannot do!! Carpenter, antique restorations and making chilli all with one hand! LEGEND!!!👍
I went back in time to Ian's memorial video. What a sad watch, but with an uplifting feeling. Then amazingly, it featured the very first announcement from Dan, about his new Chateau channel and project...which of course many of us watch every day....such a thrill to have you all in our lives....Sandi xxxx
I'm loving Gerald's assistant cook's wardrobe. He never fails to make someone smile.
Brian is such a hard worker. Always does a good job.
Amuary is the perfect husband! He cooks, he paints, he restores furniture, he builds, he demolishes, he…….there’s nothing he can’t do!
Chris is doing a great job with the cornices, they look great. Stephanie you really do have the best team helping you.
Yes! Amuary is the total package 👍👍👍🙏🏼
Amaury, we heal on the outside faster than on the inside so please be patient, you could do permanent damage if you’re impatient . All the food looked yummy today, especially the log👍🏼🙋🏼♀️
Amaury is adorable just like his father And mother ofc, him and his father are so soft spoken. Just patient and calm.
Amaury is the best; what a sweet soul.
A lovely Christmas treat for Mariem take her for a girls weekend somewhere gorgeous, she is an absolute gem❤
Percy looks very handsome in his cap. Gerry is a vision of Christmas Spirit and I think his Spirit of Christmas smile is perfection!
Chris is a great craftsman and a lovely guy.
Stephanie, I absolutely love your outlook of life. A cloudy day is like a warm blanket. The construction process of the savoury log. You had me laughing because I’m sure we can all relate.

Marie is also loved by ALL! She is another amazing Chef and has a wonderful SOUL.❤️🙏🇳🇿🇳🇿
I always knew elves were real, now I have proof Gerry is adorable
My God! Amaury is a genius , humble and handsome man.
Amaury is a superman ❤
Amaury is literally a Master Craftsman. What a legacy he is creating at the Chateau. X
The gardens look terrific . How nice to he able to hire talented gardeners.
Amaury is a very talented, sweet but stubborn man sometimes.
He often works until he is too tired. He is determined to keep on going.
I hope he takes care and does not hurt himself. Pushing too hard.
I agree. He should be off work and resting his hand. We all know that Stephanie relies on Amaury for his incredible skills and there are time pressures involved here, but if he overdoes it, his hand may not recover correctly and that would be a disaster for everyone.

Your mother and Percy are the most beautiful amazing couple..
I know I love them ❤
Hope Amaury doesn’t do too much and lets his hand fully recover ❤ loving the team work with you and Gerry in the kitchen. The roulade looked fantastic ❤
Chris is another skilled part of the team. Ian the plasterer, his name is part of Le Landes history. Love to everyone.
Marie is such a pretty lady
Elle n a pas de fiancé……dommage
@ ? What
Every home needs an Amaury, he is just incredible..one handed even....how lucky you are ❤
Amaury is very talented
Is there anything he cannot do? What a Renaissance man❤
Gerry's Christmas outfit was a tonic - just fab. Glad to see Amaury recovering well, and looking forward to the Christmas special.
I love Gerald. What a beautiful and fun guy.
Everyone needs a Amoury in their life he is amazing. 😊 and a Chis too!!! The Gardiner is excellent! The best working trio ever
Amaury, is not giving over his fabulous work to anyone!! I doubt anyone could do the great job he does!! I can't wait til the Grand Salon is finished!!!
I think Stephanie’s mini minced pie improvisation of substituting raspberries and liquor instead of currents and mixed peel is brilliant !!
So well done.
Pity I can’t taste test.
Gerry always makes me smile. He just oozes Christmas is here with the happiest face. Everyone at La Lande is awesome!
Brian the gardener is such a hard worker and so kind!
I love chili con carne. For someone who enjoys beans with breakfast, I'm surprised that you won't tolerate kidney beans in chili.
Was GLAD to see TonTon while he was there. He, as well as all of the LaLande group are well loved by us all.
Stephanie is the bee's knees, feel so lucky to have happened upon this channel, another great uplifting video, thank you!❤
For some reason, I trust when Isabelle says something is delicious 😁 you’re rich in nice people, Stephanie ❤ like Amaury, I’m so looking forward to the grand salon being done. It’s going to be so gorgeous!
That was so lovely Stephanie,
To see you an
Gerard with the
Salmon roll, so
Nicely done. You
2 make a team😊
Love Lupins! Brian is doing great! Amaury never will rest no matter what. You and Gerald did a great job!
Galahad is taking Andrew on as he is family and is enjoying his holding him so much! Fantastic Spinach Rolls! Stephanie and Gerald knows how to bake and cook so very well and do well together. Mummy and Percy are so proud of the family!
Gerald is a vision!
In defense of the draft maker Marie, she's always slaving over the hot stove. She deserves a draft.
Agree❤
Amaury is awesome! Hi Natty!
Good save there at the end😂!!!

Christmas vomited all over Gerry ...... Pure Scottish Perfection🙏🧡

Amaury struggles not being able to do his jobs. The food looks delicious. Scotland is a trend setter.
Wow weeeeeeeeee !!!
You transformed into a movie star for the interview. Jolly good ! What a triumph Stephanie !!! ❤🌴❤🌴❤🌴
Love and hugs from California Matt
My family love Amaury!
Thank you for your videos, your happiness is contagious and I can’t help smiling no matter how hard my day has been and how much pain I’m in.
So grateful for your vlogs❤
I just love Gerry!!!! He is hysterical!!❤
WE LOVE CHRIS!
The mince pies and all the delights 😮looks so delicious
So happy Chris came along!
That chilli looks yummy! I'm putting all the ingredients on my shopping list (or Chopin Listz as my old aunt used to say😀) for tomorrow, can't wait!

Amaury is such an artisan!
Stephanie, you are fortunate and Blessed to have Amaury as your cousin, who happens to be a carpenter! Your dinner looks delicious! Good video, and thank you for sharing …
Amaury was raised to renovate things. Stephanie's parents and Amaury's parents lived together in Victorian houses. Even Gerald lived with them.
Love to see Jerry Everytime. He such a hoot!
What a team LaLande is 👏😍❤️Amaury is such a master!
What a grate job on the roulade! Love La Lande as Christmas approaches.
When you panned to the socks I craked up. Love em Jerry! Nice video, thanks
Always so much happening at Lalande. Amaury, you and Nati made a lovely Chilli. Stephanie, your roll looked yummy. The chair looks new again, and the cornishes look awesome. Percy, I love your hat.❤
he is like me a soldier,we do not let a little thing like a hand, or in my case broken socket, my shoulder, I still carried on,
Brian AND Chris are welcome additions to the whole helpful bunch! I plan to make your savory Yule-log, Stephanie (and sous elf Gerry); genius make ahead for Christmas Festivities.

Amaury is amazing! Back to work one-handed. Nothing keeps him down!
So wonderful to see you’re keeping Chris busy at the chateau and a long awaited job is finally getting done. He’s such a nice guy.
Great job to you and Gerald on the log! It turned out beautifully.
Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
Your smoked salmon with
Cream cheese roll looks very inviting
❤ wonderful ❤
I really do love to watch you all.
I don't leave the house so it feels like you are all my friends . ❤
Poor Amaury having to wait to get back to work like he wants to, and wonderful that you were about to have the molding finished. Another great vid

The roll looked good. Jerry's out fit was marvelous.
Oh, Gerald, a love outfit there with green socks, I love it 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh he is so perfect....Love the outfit!!!!! Go "Gerald"!!!
Your Christmas salmon log looks great! Well done Stephanie and Jerry. Love from the west coast of Canada.
Stephanie, I think the big cabinet in the kitchen looks nice being light colored. I think it would look nice painted to match the Spode display cabinet.

Morning Everyone 🥰
Thank-you for showing me how to make a roll using plastic wrap!
What a lovely family day, and it is so nice seeing Amaury relaxed and smiling. I can’t help thinking ,he is not a chateau multi guest person. He is always polite ,of course ,but I don’t think it’s his thing lol. I might be wrong 🤗
I love Jerry’s outfit he looks great in his red and black plaid. You looked beautiful for your filming Stephanie. Your makeup and hair looked awesome! Love your TH-cam recordings very much! ❤
Happy memories of decorating the kitchen last year and Thanksgiving 😊
Hi Nati how have you been feeling? You look absolutely great!!!
So glad your mum is better
Is there any task too big for Amaury! Your savoury log looked incredible Stephanie. So good to see Andrew again. He looks adorable with Galahad. Just love your family dinners in the kitchen. ❤
Love it when Chris is on your vlogs😊 wonderful
Lovely vlog. Wondering if Marie will be in chateau diy as she’s mostly the cook? Look forward to seeing it.x
Christmas is in the air 🎄
Thanks for the lovely day. Filming went well, Amuary making repairs, Gerry’s jokes coming thick and fast and your spinach roulade turned out beautifully. A good day ❤
You need to make brandy butter to go with your mince pies. Warm mince pies with the brandy butter melting over them is amazing!
