I laughed soooo hard at the "Nile Fruits" that I had tears on my face!!! He is SUCH a 'peach of a friend' (pun intended)...he went out of his way to get what he believed the list said!! Kudos to him!! Happy Birthday to Aunt Chantel. I just love how much fun this whole family has!!
I know it’s Chantel’s birthday but Marie is such a beautiful domestic goddess, getting more beautiful by the day and so encouraging to us mere mortals. Living vicariously through you all. Happy Day to all
I absolutely adore Michael ! A man who wants to make sure he gets everything on the list ! Even going above and beyond to get the Nile fruit ! 😂 I haven't laughed like that in a very long, long time !!! THANK YOU !! Love to you all ! Happy Birthday to your Aunt !
I'd say that Michael Potts’ interpretive reading and shopping skills are second to none, proving he is truly king of de Nile. I also agree 100% with Stephanie's comment, "Seeing the chairs in their full glory for the first time with a properly laid table....that is exquisite." Followed by sharing Tatinette's birthday celebration. Happy daze to all.
Here I am sitting up in bed before dawn, listening to CD through earphones so I don't wake my husband and the tears of laughter are pouring down my cheeks as I look at the "Nile fruit"!!! Priceless Michael!!🇨🇦
Michael Potts, I'm on your side. I read that menu board as "NILE FRUITS," too. After all, who would need to stress "nice" as if anyone would purposely bring home a selection of bad fruits! That Egyptian Nile cruise is worth remembering. Happy Birthday 🎈🎁🥂🍾 Chantelle 🎉. Stephen made a loving toast to you ❤ and rightfully so.
😊Yes, Michael Potts is such a quality gentleman. 😉It was a truly impressive interpretation of Marie's odd request. I'll never think of them as plain old dates again. He definitely gave the fruit plate an Egyptian flair. It's brought me smiles😄 for days! 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
The bunnies look wonderful with the herbs in them - they could actually be there all the time with herbs planted in them to use for cooking on a regular basis. Happy Birthday Chantel!
months later I still burst out laughing when i think of that episode. lol. PINEAPPLES. lol..an approximation of 'Nile' fruit. lol.I can see how it happened.. Micheal thinking. well, nothing surprises me about this place.. I'll go with it and look for 'Nile fruit.' lol.
🎄🎄🎄 The herb bouquets were perfect as they didn’t detract from all the “bunnyness”, as flowers would have. And they keep well in water…very handy for cooking and you don’t have to run outside in the winter! Don’t underestimate your flower(herb) arranging talents, Stephanie!🎄🎄
Michael Potts seems like a character out of a Richard Curtis movie, and he’s delightful. Nile fruits gave me a proper giggle. Bonne anniversaire, Chantale!
This video is the epitome of Stephanie's old intro of "Life, Love & Laughter". And I'm going to be telling the "Niles Fruit" story to family at Christmas! Classic. 😄
I just rewatched The Nile Fruit Caper with my mom. One of my favorite funny moments at the Chateau ever. Marie losing it is everything. I cried laughing yesterday and today!
Happy Birthday beautiful, sparkly Chantal! Laughed so much at the Nile fruit story! Michael….thanks for the giggle at your expense. Big love to you all. ❤
Your aunt and uncle are couple goals for sure. The romance and beauty of the season is overwhelming. Love to all and may we all find some of the magic of LaLande this holiday season. You all are true gifts to the world.
I loved so much about this one, the birthday, the Nile fruit (charmingly sweet and hilarious), and the obsession with tableware (something I share). I am so glad you guys are there.
Philip you are truly the best decorating the table and getting all the glasses ready. And doing the dishes afterwards. Bless you. The meal look good. The room looked beautiful. Everyone looks happy
Those little bunnies are so adorable. I can see they can be used all year round. Happy birthday Tatti. What a lovely celebration. Such wonderful parents Amory has.
All these years, I too had what looked like a porcelain, cloisinne miniature foot bath. I used it for orchids. Now with your tutorial, it can be used to chill wine glasses once again. Merci beacoup!
Happy Birthday Tattinnette🎉You are very blessed to be surrounded by so many people who love you! I am most amused by Michael’s “Nile fruits” and the last shot of Philip doing washing up singing away😂
Such a beautiful room! Phillip has such a passion for porcelain place settings, which is perfectly fitting w his personality. He loves and brings beauty to all he does, history and tradition and honoring of things that mean something. To be appreciated by friends and family at one of the most important things we humans do, breaking bread! I always learn, laugh and admire the divine positivity you all bring unto this world!! 🙏🏽😉❤️💯😇 Blessings to All………
What a fun, happy group of great human beings. I so enjoy watching your interactions. Glad that Percy is so much better, Marie is happy & in her element, Amaury continues to shine, Michael is hilarious, & that your aunt & uncle are back. Happy birthday to your aunt. She’s a lovely woman. Cheers from another admiring Canadian 🎂🍾💐❤️🇨🇦
The Nile fruit was just what I needed. My husband is very ill with cancer and he was my caretaker and helper so I am rather down but your vlogs cheered me up .Thanks for all the fun you provide and the chance to escape
Phillip; I am right there with you!! I truly “get it!” I wasn’t certain that there was actually another person on earth who understands table-alchemy! Thank you! Cheers love!
‘Nile fruits’…..😂🤣 If you could see me; husband fast asleep next to me in bed and I’m watching this video with my headphones on, failing to laugh quietly - I’m crying with laughter at ‘Nile fruits’ - bless Marie, I thought she was about to wet herself! Hilarious. Genuine comedy! 🤣😂
I do not even have anyone over and rarely eat at home but after years of seeing all the different plates, I for some reason want to start getting nicer plates.
I really love your videos Stephanie. I watch them every day. I’m even learning French words which I’m enjoying very much. I now know that ton ton means uncle in French. Please keep using French words. Such fun! Thank you. ❤
Happy Birthday Tatinette! 🥳🥳 Ah, thank you so much for sharing al this joy with us! 🫶💞🫶 I felt when Marie left, she couldn’t be missed. Not for the others, not for the vlogs, not for herself. She belongs to Lalande, and the recent owners/crew. I LOVE all the fun you have together and making it possible for me to witness that, I’m very greatful for.
Stephanie, your herb bunny bouquets are precious and actually quite stunning. Love the natural look of them. To someone from the US, there are so many unique and unusual foods that are prepared at the Chateau, that a request for Nile fruits wouldn't have surprised me in the least.
so pleased to see Amaury mention the Hevingham Hall ice house. I know it well. I live in the area. In fact, I was driving pas it one day and some very naughty sheep got out in a hole in the fence near it.. so I took the opportunity to drive up the majestic drive to tel the staff. lol.. They got the farmer to sort it out. lol.. Its a really impressive house.
Nile fruit! Hilarious! As it turns out, I have a wine glass chiller and didn’t know it. It’s a beautiful piece of chinoiserie and it even has a footed stand it sits in. I use it as a plant pot. May have to clean it up and put it to its proper use! ❤️😊
I had to watch this twice it was so good. I love how hard we all laughed at Nile fruit it made my day. We love Michael ❤️ you can feel the birthday love from everyone such a special lady ❤️
Love Amaurys reaction to the table settings, just give the man a plate and a bottle of beer and stop all the fluffy nonsense, Really would love to see him visit Dan
They are setting a beautiful table and great food before his mother, and he still conplains because he doesn't like porcelain unless it is really useful. Wood and baked mud pottery gave way to porcelain and silver as they were invented to stop the spread of disease. ❤
I laughed soooo hard at the "Nile Fruits" that I had tears on my face!!! He is SUCH a 'peach of a friend' (pun intended)...he went out of his way to get what he believed the list said!! Kudos to him!! Happy Birthday to Aunt Chantel. I just love how much fun this whole family has!!
I was crying from Laughing too
I know.. lovely lovely man.
It did look like the work Nile
I laughed even more at Marie laughing so hard she almost fell over, and holding her middle 🤣
Nile fruit! I don't think I've laughed so much. A Very Happy Birthday Chantel. 🎉🎉🎂🍾🥂🎉🎉
I would just love to have them as parents. How blessed Amaury is.
Me too! He really is❤
I completely agree! ❤❤
and as a mother in law, Natty is also lucky!
@@legendarytwins-777 I didn't know that they are married.
I so love these vlogs.🎉
I know it’s Chantel’s birthday but Marie is such a beautiful domestic goddess, getting more beautiful by the day and so encouraging to us mere mortals. Living vicariously through you all. Happy Day to all
Marie's "Nile Fruit" laugh made me fall off my chair laughing with her. lol
I absolutely adore Michael ! A man who wants to make sure he gets everything on the list ! Even going above and beyond to get the Nile fruit ! 😂 I haven't laughed like that in a very long, long time !!!
THANK YOU !! Love to you all !
Happy Birthday to your Aunt !
Well it was on the list board!😮 (In His Defense!❤
Everybody needs Nile fruits!
it says something about la lande that Micheal didn't even question someone writing up nile fruits 😂 that must be right
I couldn't stop laughing at this. Clearly, it's a normal request 😂
I will never see dates in the same way again. 😂
I laughed so hard! 😂
I need to get some for Xmas and will definitely refer to them as Nile fruits now!
😂😂😂
Happy birthday, Tattinette! Nile fruit? Best laugh today!! 😂🎉😂
Too right !!!
I'd say that Michael Potts’ interpretive reading and shopping skills are second to none, proving he is truly king of de Nile. I also agree 100% with Stephanie's comment, "Seeing the chairs in their full glory for the first time with a properly laid table....that is exquisite." Followed by sharing Tatinette's birthday celebration. Happy daze to all.
The new dining chairs are next level fabulous! Changes the whole room.
Nile fruit....I can't even....Michael you have been missed!! Sending warm wishes to Tatinette on her special day, from Canada 🇨🇦🎉👑🍾🫶
I love how Michael doesn’t even question it. “Nile fruit… will do!” 😂
A true English/South African gentleman, lol
The Nile fruits put me over the edge! I’m laughing, crying and am again convinced we were separated at birth!!! ❤😂🎉
"OUT ON A LIMB FOR THE PEARS." Priceless!!!! What would we do without all the priceless history on china from Phillip and Amury on the ice house.
Here I am sitting up in bed before dawn, listening to CD through earphones so I don't wake my husband and the tears of laughter are pouring down my cheeks as I look at the "Nile fruit"!!! Priceless Michael!!🇨🇦
Wishing the wonderful Tattinette a very happy birthday! So much love to a woman who makes any of La Lande's videos in which she appears, SPARKLE.
Her smile glows from the inside! So fabulous!
Michael Potts, I'm on your side. I read that menu board as "NILE FRUITS," too. After all, who would need to stress "nice" as if anyone would purposely bring home a selection of bad fruits! That Egyptian Nile cruise is worth remembering.
Happy Birthday 🎈🎁🥂🍾 Chantelle 🎉. Stephen made a loving toast to you ❤ and rightfully so.
Ton Ton Stephen’s toast made me cry! It was so amazing! He loves her so!! ❤
I love when Ruby makes an appearance!
LOL Nile fruits!!!!!!!???? 😂😂😂😂 Oh, Michael Potts, you have made me laugh heartily today! Thank you. You’re a treasure!
😊Yes, Michael Potts is such a quality gentleman. 😉It was a truly impressive interpretation of Marie's odd request. I'll never think of them as plain old dates again. He definitely gave the fruit plate an Egyptian flair. It's brought me smiles😄 for days!

Yes Ruby - You really need to fill the chateau with beautiful cats. He needs lots of friends around. More Ruby content Please..
Happy Birthday Tatinnet. I love hpw Steph and Marie interact, lately there is more laughter , its wonderful
I love Marie’s reaction to the mandarin dessert thingy. “Oh, that’s nice.” 😂😂
She’s like, ummm, no.😂
The bunnies look wonderful with the herbs in them - they could actually be there all the time with herbs planted in them to use for cooking on a regular basis. Happy Birthday Chantel!
Excellent idea... but perhaps in the window sills where they would get more light, and moving them to the table for occasional decor.
Oh my goodness!!! Nile fruit! Just the laugh I needed today Michael. Thanks for providing it!
months later I still burst out laughing when i think of that episode. lol. PINEAPPLES. lol..an approximation of 'Nile' fruit. lol.I can see how it happened.. Micheal thinking. well, nothing surprises me about this place.. I'll go with it and look for 'Nile fruit.' lol.

Singing as you wash the dishes must be a sign of pure contentment! Merry Christmas from Seattle
And from Redmond too!!👋👋
