I really cannot imagine LaLande without Amorie now. I hope he stays for a long long time. And we get to meet his mum and see Mummy and Amorie's Mumm stroll down the pergola.
@@onewingedbutterfly1126 Ugh! You put that idea into my head. Now I have to free the creative demon. Deep bass thunder rolled over the estate grounds. Lady Giselle clutched her hand to her ample bosom. Ever since his lordship the Baron Hargrove had visited her she had been on the verge of tears. She reflected on that dreadful meeting with the vile man. They had met in this very room. He burst into her home unannounced and unbidden like a thief. "Your father was reckless," wheedled the Baron in his nasally voice. "He bet heavily at the gaming table and lost everything to me." "But Lord Hargrove, what shall become of White Oaks? Where shall my family go?" She asked, her pale blue eyes full of unshed tears. "That is of course not my concern." He said appraising the room as though it were something being offered for sale. "But there have always been a Covington at White Oaks." "Sadly, that tradition ends with you." He sneered. Giselle noticed he didn't so much as look at her. He seemed to avoid making eye contact. Instead he would watch her discomfort from the corner of his eyes. A small smile flirted over his lips. She was brought to mind of a chameleon she once saw at the zoo. He had the same general look of a reptile she thought as she noted his weak chin and pale fleshy lips. "There is of course a solution to your dilemma..." He said with faint somehow smug smile teasing his lips. "Oh? Pray what would that be?" She asked genuinely intrigued. "You could marry me, become the Baroness Hargrove." Giselle gasped, "But you know I am betrothed to Joseph Humble." "Bah," scoffed the Baron. "The man is a fool. Forever writing his sappy poetry. He has naught a penny to his name. No fortunes. No title. Any woman who marries him is a fool." "But we are in love." She cried. The prospects of losing all she held dear now came crashing over her like a tide breaking on the shore. (Ahh. That helped. Now I can sleep)
I am really glad Stephanie has Amaury in her life because she has no siblings. He is the closest thing for her to having a brother. Cousins often fill the roles of siblings in modern times. Thank goodness for cousins. Does anyone know whether he has any siblings?
@@tamaliaalisjahbana9354 Stephanie does have Gerald Grady and grew up with him, although he was older they were close, and he is her step-brother. They are very close really.Not sure about Amaury and any siblings. But very true it is nice Amuary culd come and join her now and they do get along as well too. Gerald was ther nt long ago but it looks like he had to maybe return back to Scotland? Did not really see hiim leave though, I missed it.
@@rnggall9640 They both have almost the same sense of humor. He is delighted being there too! He and Dan has hit it off very well! Think now Selmar will get back into it all with the carpentry as well? I guess Tatyana will be working in soem way as wwell while there. Guess she plans to stay a montth, but we will see how long in theend she decides to stay as perhaps she will do well and truly like it alot and find she can work hard to help at the Chateau? She is now getting acquanited and finding her place.
Oh my goodness. I am so glad I saved this video for so long to view. I was out of town and now am back to see this video. The pergola is going to be beautiful. I am glad you are constantly reevaluating as you go. I agree, I think the pergola needs to be taller. The final Christies vignette reminds me of the parties my husband and I used to hold at our previous home.... we would host parties on an outside terrace in San Diego, Ca. with views of Mission Bay and Sea World Fireworks with 25 to 30 people in attendance, my husband and I catering all the food. The next morning reminded me of your Christies vignette .... I honestly don't think we took photos of the aftermath. I can still see them in my minds eye..... thank you for inspiring the look back and memories.
I just love fun loving Stephanie…..love how digger Dan and cousin bicep bring out the naughtiness in each other and ms Steph….we are being spoilt with cat, nati, Dan, kirstie, amaury, Ian etc etc pure brilliance
💗💗💗 I think everyone will agree that YOU are LaLande! You draw towards you creativity, positivity, care, and love! The building, friends, helpers… are drawn to your vibe. You’re a class act! We also get to enjoy you and all that you attract to you… yes, everyone is contributing, but you’re the beacon of attraction. 💗💗💗
Agreed. If for no other reason than to watch the budding friendship and mischief between him and Dan. I live for the day the staff wake up to some new goofiness like the reversal of the kitchens china. Although with two brilliant minds and skilled craftsmen. It probably would be to find the Grand Salon turned upside down, with the furniture bolted to the ceiling
Yes. He must remain. At least until we meet his mother. Even better if her arrival coincides with Isabelle and Percy's visits. Is it wrong to want to see the two Grande Dames in the same household? I imagine the events would be preceded by Stephanie and the team all suddenly stopping and going rigid (like meerkats when a snake arrives.) Outside a sudden storm builds on the horizon. The guests in the Grande Salon all have the hair on their necks go up. A lonely and dramatic voice is heard somewhere in the chateau either quoting Shakespeares Scottish play; "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." Or a more modern and up to date movie quote; "I feel a great disturbance in the Force." Lmao Of course someone should then say, "We're going to need a bigger chateau." (I nominate Phillip.) Honestly I love Isabelle. She is a beautiful soul and a lightning rod of energy. Additionally she is the soul of practicality in the whimsy that is Lalande. May she be with us forever.
Amaury has a different vibe with Stephanie, they've known each other from childhood and you can see bond.. Childlike and at rest in eachothers presence. ❤
Thank you so much Stephanie and the rest of the team for hosting such an amazing weekend! The food was incredible, the location was stunning, Selmar's tango lessons were such fun, and our group of guests were simply the best - there really are no words! La Lande is truly what dreams are made of!
Ok…so between Amaury’s red hair tie (a sign in horse riding that the horse is a kicker if it’s in its tail - aka he has a great sense of humour and can handle himself in a fight) and his effortless negotiation of the angled slats to protect fair maiden (aka Steph)…he’s basically the perfect Merrylegs from Black Beauty (my fav story as a child)…this guy is the gift that keeps on giving!! 😍💕 keeper for La Lande ❤️
Perhaps it wasn't a Christie's vignette, but the evening looked like so much fun. Amery and Dan are having too much fun of their own on the digger to join the party. I love those two guys together. I'm glad you invited Princess Pocket Mouse to join for the evening. That little gift is so precious. How thoughtful. Selmar's friend looked so perfect in the Downton Abbey sunglasses, like they were made for her face. What chateau lover doesn't fancy Downton Abbey? Thanks for sharing the chat with the team at Christie's. I was wondering how the final vignette would look. I've never seen the cleanup after a Laland party, but I suspect other than Christie's pedigree furnishings, they probably nailed it. Loved it all! Thanks for all you do to bring cheer into the world!
That was lovely seeing the cousins having fun like that. It would be lovley to see a vlog one day with you both showing us around where your grandmother lived. Love to you all x
Oh those naughty boys and their toys! Getting up to mischief in the dark and with the atmospheric cloudy moonlight, pierced by precision green laser. Wonderful stuff! Just love the contrast with the beautiful dinner, the piano playing and Selmar working his magic on the dance floor- so enigmatic and entrancing. I wish you could bottle this, you would be billionaire's in seconds.
Love Stephanie's comments that it's the people who live, work, volunteer, and visit who help make Lalande such a magical place, but she's the beautiful inspirational flower that attracted all these devoted butterflies! 🦋🦋🦋
What a beautiful way to put it! And she knows how to pull a vlog together showcasing all these great people, their senses of humor, their talents. What an amazing place!
Always enjoy the dancing classes!!! Bring dancers from all over France and Ballet dancers!!! What are you all going to do for 🎄 Christmas. Have a great weekend.
Stephanie really is quite adventurous Just look at her on the digger with heels on. I remember doing some work and the only thing they had was a heavy forklift which worked beautifully was up over 20 feet. This may seem an odd question but does the digger have a augar attachment Or does Dan dig all the holes using the bucket
The "BIG" take away and echo I hear today is from 'Its the whole sum of the parts"....so true... Christie's finale vignette was so playful and lovely! The boys are doing a fantastic job as ever. And Marie, congratulations on your very first wedding.. You would have cast a magical hand over the proceedings! I just love La Lande.
Magical….every second. I can remember from your first vlogs where you would download in your car late at night I felt so bad for you . Now look at what joy and magic you created. Your dream has come true! Thank you! This was wonderful.
LaLande is a lifestyle, an attitude, an inhalation and spreading of happiness and kindness. I love Steph playing in the digger with Amory. I smiled so much my cheeks hurt.
i LOVE THE jOYFULL CHATS THAT STEPHANIE AMAURY HAVE HAD I N THE PAST AND I UNDERSTAND THINGS CHANGE AND A BLANCE IS REQUIRE HOWEVER TO HAVE THE JOYFUL BALANCE WOULD BE WONDEFUL
I think one of the reason the taller height of the posts looks so good is that it looks like it matches the height of the other structures along the garden wall better.
Even fully clothed, Amaury is fun to gaze upon but you notice the quality of his voice more. I'm worried Hollywood is going to snatch him up. Wonderful vlogg. Thanks Stephanie. Mary Ann Recht, Chicago.
Greetings from Alaska. A quick note, as i have 15 min until I have to rush to an appointment. Great vlog. I love that we get to meet the guests who are visiting the chateau. I wish Bonnie the best of luck and good fortunes in her eyewear enterprise. I have yet to watch Downtown Abbey, (Don't remove me from the Lalande appreciation society.) Not for want or desire. Just have not found it on any of my streaming services. It is on my mental watch list. I adore that we get to meet Wendy and watch others gush over her creations. I sincerely hope we get to see her work on a project while there. Selmar and Tatiyana were resplendent in their outfits to watch tv. Love the Tango lesson. Dan and Amaury were hilarious. Love the digger and dumper banter. The ride in the shovel reminded me of my youth riding in the back of my dad's lumber truck. Not a safe practice, but as a child it was like a hayride in autumn. The dinner menu looked delicious. Congrats to Marie on her successful wedding event. Phillips editing office (suite) looked great. I love how his sense of style and whimsey were apparent. There is so much more I would comment on, but if I do not stop now I shall be late. Amazing job everyone. I look forward to watching this again later and finding things I missed. Love to all and stay safe. SH
@@rosemariedeschenes7013 I agree. It's a dream of mine to return to Italy to visit friends and possibly travel as far north as Lalande. I doubt I could afford to stay there, but it would be a wish come true to meet the staff and tour the grounds and buildings. (In truth as a person of extra weight, I would also feel slightly uncomfortable and out of place. Much like the proverbial bull in a Limoge China pantry. Lol)
Amory (sorry if I misspelled your name), you totally belong on Lalande. To get Stephanie to make decisions on builds and do all the carpentry. And to be part of the costume parties. You are a natural on the camera and the banter between you and Dan is amazing. We needed more men on Lalande. Lalanders, I just love your little community.
I wasn’t surprised the glasses looked fantastic on Stephanie since everything looks amazing on her - facts. But, I love ❤️ them and they look sensational on everyone!!! I hope they come to the US soon 😎
OMG Stephanie, when I saw everyone from Christie's of New York on your phone and everyone gathering in one of the sitting room , all the guest, Dan digging and everyone that was with him, it was grande. Thank you for sharing!!! Have a great weekend!!!
What a perfect vlog! Delightful in every way. Kept me smiling throughout. You are right, Steph,….. it’s everyone together that makes magic….. but the conjurer is you! Love to all at Lalande! ❤️
Stephanie & Amorie are such cute cousins - they are family goals! - you can tell how close they are to be able to be silly & joke together like they did in the video
Such a joy to see Le Launde full of guests again!!!! And Dan an Amery (I know I'm spelling his name wrong!!! I'm sorry!!!) are sooo funny together!! Much love from Texas!!!
I can’t wait to see the garden in the spring. I’m always so excited to see what’s new and happening you are all so fun to watch it feels as if I’m there such inviting laughter.
Such fun! And yes, Stephanie, your cousin needs to stay as long as possible! Such a great team!! Thanks for sharing Christie’s also! And those glasses!! Wow! Love your giggles Stephanie!
Those Downton Abbey eyewear are going to be a huge hit. And I say this after only seeing one pair. I sooo wish I ll be able to buy a pair or two. But eyewear designers don't usually design for my eyesight disability. The frames have tobe a certain size and weight to not only take my lens but to ensure there isn't any eyestrain. Im going to keep my fingers crossed for these. 😁👍🦘
Such a lively vlog!!! Tatyana, you look beautiful 😍 and so does Selmar. All of the new guests are adding to the story of Lelande. After all, it is a living, breathing Chateau! Love Philip's office, Christie's Vignettes, seeing Marie back at Lelande (I missed her), and those Downton Abby glasses were "spec"-tacular! And Amaury.....well..... ❤
The Pergola Posts !!! Amazing Dan and your first cousin.. mother’s sisters son like my first cousin Geoffrey ♥️kissing cousins ..what a sweetheart is Amorie and Dan on the Diggah an amazing team.. so lovely ! I think it is absolutely amazing Amorie is helping make Lalande beautiful and Dan is Lalandes staple 🌟 I love Phillip and his room is beautiful💚 BeautifuL piano playing Those 1926 sunglasses ! 🤍 and the dancing blew me away MagicaL people for a magicaL place
That was so much fun. You certainly are a genius at taking people along for the ride. You seem to fall into magical moments at such a breakneck speed. I keep thinking you've topped yourself, then you top yourself again.
The pergola is going to be a magificent addition to the walled garden. I love that you and your cousin just hopped onto the digger and took a fun trip. Nothing stuffy about you! lol This vlog had so much packed into it that I feel like I've spent a week with you and a lovely week it was.
I’ve just come back home from your beautiful country on vacation in the Normandy region. I can see why you love this country and all it has to offer, however I was also anxious to get home and catch up on your vlogs. You didn’t disappoint! The pergola is going to be amazing.
I really cannot imagine LaLande without Amorie now. I hope he stays for a long long time. And we get to meet his mum and see Mummy and Amorie's Mumm stroll down the pergola.
And he keeps taking his shirt off. Am so bad at my old age. To many romantic books!
@@onewingedbutterfly1126 it would be so great to do a romance book retreat at le lande ( with amaury in dress up ) 😉😉🥰🥰🥰

(Ahh. That helped. Now I can sleep)
Thank you. Amaury could moonlight as a documentary voice-over person...what an amazing voice he has!
I was thinking he would have a wonderful voice for audio book reading.
I agree he has a wonderful voice
Omg was thinking the same
@@michellezevenaar that is a great idea too, that is if he would want that!
I’ve been reading comments and thinking why hasn’t anyone commented on his beautiful, soft, rich, honey-like voice… ❤️it’s so good to my ears ❤️
One can really tell that Amaury and Stephany are cousins! So nice he could join her! He is a hard worker too.
They are so funny together just like my cousins, like siblings that don't share a room growing up

You cousin Amorie is just a natural in front of the camera, hope he's going to be a long term member of the team xxx
Agreed. If for no other reason than to watch the budding friendship and mischief between him and Dan.
I live for the day the staff wake up to some new goofiness like the reversal of the kitchens china.
Although with two brilliant minds and skilled craftsmen. It probably would be to find the Grand Salon turned upside down, with the furniture bolted to the ceiling
He was so camera shy when he just arrived! 😁😁😁
"Dan the demon digger" 😆 😆
Please DON'T ever let Amaury LEAVE!
He has to be a permanent resident..
Yes. He must remain.
At least until we meet his mother.
Even better if her arrival coincides with Isabelle and Percy's visits.
Is it wrong to want to see the two Grande Dames in the same household?
I imagine the events would be preceded by Stephanie and the team all suddenly stopping and going rigid (like meerkats when a snake arrives.)
Outside a sudden storm builds on the horizon.
The guests in the Grande Salon all have the hair on their necks go up.
A lonely and dramatic voice is heard somewhere in the chateau either quoting Shakespeares Scottish play;
"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
Or a more modern and up to date movie quote;
"I feel a great disturbance in the Force."
Lmao
Of course someone should then say,
"We're going to need a bigger chateau."
(I nominate Phillip.)
Honestly I love Isabelle.
She is a beautiful soul and a lightning rod of energy. Additionally she is the soul of practicality in the whimsy that is Lalande. May she be with us forever.
So So agree
@@shawnhammond140
How wonderful!
Let it be said; let it be down.
Amaury has a different vibe with Stephanie, they've known each other from childhood and you can see bond.. Childlike and at rest in eachothers presence. ❤
I'm not a proponent of holding people against their will, but in this case, it is indeed tempting to at least be coercive...😶
“The sum of each of our parts is greater than each of us individually” thank you Stephanie!
I'm so happy selmar found Love she's beautiful
Ummmmmm....can I just say that Amorie should read bedtime stories and sell them....he would make a KILLING with that dulcet voice of his!!! LOVE IT!
Thank you so much Stephanie and the rest of the team for hosting such an amazing weekend! The food was incredible, the location was stunning, Selmar's tango lessons were such fun, and our group of guests were simply the best - there really are no words! La Lande is truly what dreams are made of!
It was great wasn't it ? a lovely bunch of guests !
Ok…so between Amaury’s red hair tie (a sign in horse riding that the horse is a kicker if it’s in its tail - aka he has a great sense of humour and can handle himself in a fight) and his effortless negotiation of the angled slats to protect fair maiden (aka Steph)…he’s basically the perfect Merrylegs from Black Beauty (my fav story as a child)…this guy is the gift that keeps on giving!! 😍💕 keeper for La Lande ❤️
It was so nice when Stephanie gave credit to everyone for the magic of La Lande. She has not changed!:)
Now you can have Digger Dan lift patrons with bad knees to the first floor to avoid the stairs. 😂
@Deb Shaw your comment made me giggle out loud😂
Perhaps it wasn't a Christie's vignette, but the evening looked like so much fun.
Amery and Dan are having too much fun of their own on the digger to join the party. I love those two guys together.
I'm glad you invited Princess Pocket Mouse to join for the evening. That little gift is so precious. How thoughtful.

Will it be grass all along and under the pergola? I am envisioning flagstone and little tables for tea set beneath…
old fasioned is what chateau and mansion is.. but has the charm that never fails.
Night time digger comedy!🤣🤣🤣
I laughed at you all! Great fun while working!🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I really enjoy watching Selmar tango-ing with the guests and the La Landers. More please. :)
You should offer excavator rides to the guests. nice amusement park ride
Philip’s editing room is so cozy and beautiful - I say give him whatever he wants and needs!
I don’t think you could be more joyful if you tried! Your happiness just bursts through the screen! Cheers to you all! 🥳🥰🏰🦔💐🦚🕺🏼💃🏻😎
A digger is not a toy, unless it is at La Lande.
Always enjoy the dancing classes!!! Bring dancers from all over France and Ballet dancers!!!

Could not agree more!! So we’ll said
Pfff... you make my anxiety go away. Thank you! My chest was burning before the premiere started and now I am all good.
Never a dull moment at Lalande... thanks everyone for all the fun! Love the sunglasses...
Magical….every second. I can remember from your first vlogs where you would download in your car late at night I felt so bad for you . Now look at what joy and magic you created. Your dream has come true! Thank you! This was wonderful.
I have a feeling that the addition of Amaury to the Dan and Matt Duo now means The Three Stooges are being reinvented at LaLande 😂
This made my day! I think the way you gave credit for the vignettes and the atmosphere at Lalande was the epitome of class and graciousness.
LaLande is a lifestyle, an attitude, an inhalation and spreading of happiness and kindness. I love Steph playing in the digger with Amory. I smiled so much my cheeks hurt.
Stephanie I love the way you share everything with everyone!

My 3 year old is LIVING for this night digging content. 😂
Congratulations to Marie on completing her first wedding as a florist! The flowers were so lovely! The last vignette from Christie’s was amazing!
Now I know why Dan The Man didn't get a post up yesterday 😄
hahahaha
Hopefully he isn't stranded somewhere with a broken down Van...
I Leanne
A well? Yikes. Thanks for the update @Tony InLosAngeles. 🙂
I think one of the reason the taller height of the posts looks so good is that it looks like it matches the height of the other structures along the garden wall better.
I have missed seeing Selmar & hearing his laugh. ❤️😍😘🇬🇧
Dan and your cousin have done a great job. I can see a long table filled with beautiful center pieces and beautiful settings for a garden dinner.
The new editing room really suits you Philip! Emilio, your piano playing is exquisite! Would love to see more of your work Amaury!❤️
Dan and your cousin are such a hoot! It is amazing that they even get any work done for all the fun they are having. Well done boys🇨🇦
You all have created an amazing world which can include outsiders and make them a part of the perpetual party! Cheers!
(Imagining La Lande custom eyeware in its own fancy little case with a silhouette of La Lande on it, with elegant yet quirky sunglasses inside.)
everything looks fun and i'm gonna take a moment to adore Miss Tatjana cause she's super stunning 😍😍
Even fully clothed, Amaury is fun to gaze upon but you notice the quality of his voice more. I'm worried Hollywood is going to snatch him up. Wonderful vlogg. Thanks Stephanie. Mary Ann Recht, Chicago.
would be good idea to paint the garden doors before winter. A little paint would do wonders. they need some love!
Love ‘the cousin’s’ radio voice!

Amory (sorry if I misspelled your name), you totally belong on Lalande. To get Stephanie to make decisions on builds and do all the carpentry. And to be part of the costume parties. You are a natural on the camera and the banter between you and Dan is amazing. We needed more men on Lalande. Lalanders, I just love your little community.
Seriously, Amaury needs to stay at la Lande! He is a wonderful addition to the team.
The perfect ending to this vlog….Tango at La Lande…yeah
You definitely need more camera time of Amorie, he's quite a hoot. Wish I had cousins so fun.
Love watching tango!
How much fun was going on the digger! Amaury is fitting right in ! Goodnight from Canada🍁
I wasn’t surprised the glasses looked fantastic on Stephanie since everything looks amazing on her - facts. But, I love ❤️ them and they look sensational on everyone!!! I hope they come to the US soon 😎
Digger? It’s the LaLande lift! Amaury looks so at home looking sharp in a digger bucket.
Talents on loan from God. Great seeing the artist who did the small pink bag scene. Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Selmar is a great teacher !
Lovely volunteer Maria. Love the sunglasses ❤️
OMG Stephanie, when I saw everyone from Christie's of New York on your phone and everyone gathering in one of the sitting room , all the guest, Dan digging and everyone that was with him, it was grande.
Thank you for sharing!!! Have a great weekend!!!
Joy love laughter and caring
My fav with Dan

Brilliant Vignette.
Love, love the sunglasses!!!
Such a fantastic vlog! You talked about Lalande spirit yourself, and this vlog really captured it. Really lit up my mood, thank you!
Stephanie😊, that is what cousins are for!!! I loved that!!!
What a perfect vlog! Delightful in every way. Kept me smiling throughout. You are right, Steph,….. it’s everyone together that makes magic….. but the conjurer is you! Love to all at Lalande! ❤️
He's playing Einaudi love love love that composer!!! ❤️❤️
As a Dispensing optician, I'm very excited about the specs!
That was truly so fun. Loved the decorated vignette, the growing structure of the garden pergola and as always the dinner party and dancing.
Stephanie & Amorie are such cute cousins - they are family goals! - you can tell how close they are to be able to be silly & joke together like they did in the video
Such a joy to see Le Launde full of guests again!!!! And Dan an Amery (I know I'm spelling his name wrong!!! I'm sorry!!!) are sooo funny together!! Much love from Texas!!!
I can’t wait to see the garden in the spring. I’m always so excited to see what’s new and happening you are all so fun to watch it feels as if I’m there such inviting laughter.
Amaury's little evil laugh when he shook the digger bucket 😂😂😂
Now are you glad that got you got Dan that digger he has so many talented
Wonderful vlog! Just WONDERFUL! I feel like I have been to a party… so much happiness felt deep in my heart…👍🏻💕😊
Those glasses are beautiful and Tatiana’s outfit is so cute!!
Thanks Stephanie and all....it was such fun and miss you all!
I dread to think what those two got up to as kids ( Stephanie and Amaury ), their poor mothers..lol.xx
Such fun! And yes, Stephanie, your cousin needs to stay as long as possible! Such a great team!! Thanks for sharing Christie’s also! And those glasses!! Wow! Love your giggles Stephanie!
Those Downton Abbey eyewear are going to be a huge hit. And I say this after only seeing one pair. I sooo wish I ll be able to buy a pair or two. But eyewear designers don't usually design for my eyesight disability. The frames have tobe a certain size and weight to not only take my lens but to ensure there isn't any eyestrain. Im going to keep my fingers crossed for these. 😁👍🦘
Amories giggle was funny when Dan ran from the digger!
Happy Thursday … it’s Lalande 🥰
Such a lively vlog!!! Tatyana, you look beautiful 😍 and so does Selmar. All of the new guests are adding to the story of Lelande. After all, it is a living, breathing Chateau!
Love Philip's office, Christie's Vignettes, seeing Marie back at Lelande (I missed her), and those Downton Abby glasses were
"spec"-tacular! And Amaury.....well..... ❤
The Pergola Posts !!! Amazing Dan and your first cousin.. mother’s sisters son like my first cousin Geoffrey ♥️kissing cousins ..what a sweetheart is Amorie and Dan on the Diggah an amazing team.. so lovely ! I think it is absolutely amazing Amorie is helping make Lalande beautiful and Dan is Lalandes staple 🌟
I love Phillip and his room is beautiful💚
BeautifuL piano playing
Those 1926 sunglasses ! 🤍 and the dancing blew me away
MagicaL people for a magicaL place
That was so much fun. You certainly are a genius at taking people along for the ride. You seem to fall into magical moments at such a breakneck speed. I keep thinking you've topped yourself, then you top yourself again.
The pergola is going to be a magificent addition to the walled garden. I love that you and your cousin just hopped onto the digger and took a fun trip. Nothing stuffy about you! lol This vlog had so much packed into it that I feel like I've spent a week with you and a lovely week it was.
Too true Stephanie and her cous, neither stuffy, I love it too !!!!
You have the most interesting guests. All so creative.
My goodness that was fun. Stephanie is my favourite mountain goat in heels!!!!
Oh my gosh! It just keeps on getting better and better!!!
What a handful Stephanie & Cousin must have been growing up! 😁. So much fun. Love it.
I’ve just come back home from your beautiful country on vacation in the Normandy region. I can see why you love this country and all it has to offer, however I was also anxious to get home and catch up on your vlogs. You didn’t disappoint! The pergola is going to be amazing.
