Thank you again, she would be so pleased. Sending love to you all❤️

The teapot story and your grandmothers story is a delight! Thank you for sharing!
I am not a patron - sorry - wish I could afford to be but I wanted to thank you for letting us all be part of this very special endeavour. You have created a magical place where dreams really do come true. Thank you!! ❤️

@@smills7303 I wonder if they make as much if you pay monthly to not get ads. Best thing I ever did is to get premium.
Ditto well said
Oh my goodness....I had no idea Kat can sing like that. I'm pleasantly surprised. Maria is the best on piano. Nice to see our Marie back home her flowers are amazing. Kuddos to Philips organizational skills. Team work makes the dream work. Bravo team LaLande. Glad your back is better Stephanie.
@Linda Stein Kat has been raised in a Musical Family of Choristers 🙂
Amuary’s parents are always beautifully attired . They are such a handsome couple. X🇨🇮
Delightful pair! 😘
Amaury’s, yes. I’ve fallen for them too.
Amaury is also quite delicious 😋
I have been a subscriber for a long time and watched LaLande evolve with Stephanie’s incredible hard work and steadfast vision. Her magnetic personality has drawn such a wonderful group of talented, caring and supportive friends into her charismatic orbit, it I joy to behold. Her love of beautiful French art and history drew my husband of nearly 50 years and myself to Paris in May. A trip , that without this blog that never would have happened. It was magical. Thank you Stephanie for inspiring us all!
How cool for you guys to get to go Paris!! And congratulations on the long marriage!
I second this! I want to live in France one day so badly but Atlanta will have to do for now ;)
Isn’t Stephanie just FABULOUS! 🙏🏽😊
wow, the letter from the previous Marquis owners got to me. so moving...then you realized the scale of the movement to save and restore the chateau. It belongs to the patrons but you, Stephanie my dear are the ring leader, the conductor where everything revolves around and nothing could have happened without you. et Maria....omg, out of this world. you've consigned a world class pianist to slave in your kitchen. my word, she is totally brilliant. Is that Kat singing opera? my world, such immense world class talent and yet so humble. So happy to see Marie and her flower creations again. Well, looks like you have got the political support for the restoration of the lake/pond and Nik who even controls the weather and shift dark clouds with his mind. what a brilliant wizard you've got there. no castle should be without a good wizard.
Love the idea of Nic as woodland wizard 😄
Indeed! Nik and Mother Nature definitely collaborated on this weather miracle! 😄
Nick the tree surgeon is a huge asset to LaLonde. The forest and lake are such a significant part of the property; Nick’s expertise is paramount to the overall aesthetic.
I've never heard Kat sing!! She seems so camera shy, what a lovely surprise! Brava!!
Phillip is a keeper. A beautiful human being. Anyway, what a great 3 days you had and your friends and helpers are just diamonds! 💗
If there were Emmies for TH-cam, this would blow away all the categories. Not only do you manage an incredible household for three very busy days while in heels and back pain, and create a joyous event for all us no. Patteons, but the videography without a team of specialists is spectacular.!!!. Somehow HRH Elizabeth’s passing, although so sad, marked the end of a era for LaLande as well. As you know, a double rain bow appeared as she passed and at the same time, rain held off for you. It is a new time for LeLande, Britain and the world. The very fact that we can see your life at LeLande is a testimony to the changes that are happening. Is it true that Marie is off to South Africa? Her flowers always fill and complete every room and their lack when she is gone is always a reminder of her presence!And what a tremendous vocal from Cat.
Bless you all for bringing so much joy to us in TH-cam land!
Yes, Marie is in South Africa now 😊

What a delight!!! As a patron, who could not be there this year, this was such a joy to see. Thank you, for your support of all of us and for allowing us to be a part of this dream of yours as well. Love to all the Lalanders that we love so much and cheers to all involved!! On to the next chapters and continued improvement of this beautiful place. Excellent!!
ThankQ for your Patronage which brings joy to so many. Namaste 💜🙏💜
It doesn't feel like a job (because you love it), but it is a job and a very time consuming one. We see 20-30 minutes of video out of dozens of hours shot, and dozens of hours editing. Dame Stephanie, you are the driving force behind the success of LaLeland. You are an inspiration, darling!
What a great day, glad to be a part of it
I wish I could afford to be a patron, but retired teachers in NC are all so poor. I do thank you for sharing all your wonderful creations and adventures with us all. Wishing you and Phillip happy ever after!I
Phillip is such a good partner & so talented
Wow Maria playing the piano is incredible. Could listen to her all day!
Me too!
Same!
Same. She is amazing.
Me as well! Bravo Maria & Kat
I know! Is there anything she can't do??
Amaury, your Mother and Father are so lovely!
I can’t afford to be a patron but I watch all the ads and usually leave a comment. This vlog was amazing seeing all the patrons as well as all the LaLanders together. Everyone did an amazing job pulling this off. I was sorry to hear of the Queen’s passing. She was a beautiful soul who served her country with grace, honor and dignity. My deepest sympathy for all her countrymen as well as her family 🙏❤️🩹😢
Henri clearly had a hand in keeping the storms away. Best Ghost ever!
Kat can sing!!! It's beautiful! ❤
Congratulations Stephanie! You manage to give so much for the patrons and still have a great TH-cam channel for the regular viewers. It is frustrating when some channels try to force people into patronage by making regular viewers miss on important things. But here everyone feels welcome, and I guess this is your biggest secret for success!
Ps: I hope poor Ruby is doing well with all the changes and now the dogs!
Will Ruby still sleep in the workshop once it smells of dog?😘😘😘
Apart from the Queen's passing, it was a very exciting vlog filled love and laughter. It was so titillating I had to get myself a gin and tonic in order to be a part of the hoopla. I must say that Nick the tree man is quite a colourful character. Kudos to all.
What a fantastic experience for the much appreciated patrons. Your ‘stations’ manned by all the incredibly talented LaLanders provided so much interactive fun and information. Philip did an amazing job scheduling all the events, and all your helpers were so engaging. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a dream day! Congratulations all LaLanders. So good to see everyone including Mummy and Percy.
Oh my stars, the part with Maria playing and Kat singing made me cry! So beautiful! Thank you for sharing Patron Weekend with us!
What's wrong with me ? ... in tears of joy and happiness for your special open days! Maria beautifully playing the piano displayed a small corner of the chateau yet represented the incredible amount of talent you all contribute to produce love, life and laughter. Best wishes xxx
Stephanie says she understands and knows not all can give and if not it is okay. When we click above and thumbs up, it does help with revenue too. She has come up and over the point needed to earn for even this !,, So it helps even this way. Patrons do so much, but we all do what we can. But many things yet must be done and if anyone can it would be great if they did, as it can be very expenive to keep up such a lovely and large Chateau. But if we cannot we must not beat ourselves u, but at least we can do this much Maybe twomorow we wil find our lives different and can do more> We never know.
Absolutely true!
I Love being able to be a Patron of La Lande , and I thank you ALL for sharing such a wonderful day😘
What Love and Pride you must all have in each other 🥰
I loved everything so much I’m watching it again. What a wonderful event - how kind of Henri the Marquis keeping the nasty weather at bay. Everyone did their part so beautifully - excellent scheduling Philip - pulling an all nighter!! Philip must be thrilled that dogs are finally part of the chateau family. Really thrilled to hear the back story of Kirsty’s success with the dahlia bed; I had no idea and yes it is absolutely wow!! Beautiful food, (love the tablecloths Sara!!), everything was gorgeous right down to the best dressed Dana as day chef, Andrew as evening crew caterer extraordinaire, the delightful teas and lavender sachets made by Pavlina and of course the ever classy car park attendant Percy.
I thought of Philippe (spells his name differently) as soon as she said they were living there.😊🐶🐕
Ditto! Keri💜
@@kimberlyearly8918 oops ! Thanks for letting me know his proper name spelling.
@@christinevr7698 I wouldn't have known if he hadn't talked about it in a vlog a while back.
@@kimberlyearly8918 He has it spelled Philip with one l and no e on his TH-cam channel.
Thank you for sharing the excitement and success of the Patron Days! Loved being able to feel a part of it all!
Marie's piano playing is amazing.
That was an amazing 3 days. I'm sure the patrons loved it. Everyone did a great job. MARIAs concert was a special gift! Thank you Stephanie for putting this together.
One class act. Steph, Mummy, Percy, Gerald, Michael, Nattie, Armaury, Philip, Kat, Kristie, Marie, Pavlina, Nick, Dan, and all the others who helped host this fantastic open house. What gracious hosts and hostesses. You made a memorable occasion for those who attended and for those of us who couldn't be there, thank you for sharing with us. We've never regretted being a patron.💝
awww Molly and Phoebe 😍😍😍😍
🔹So happy that Amaury has his dogs with him at last! I always remembered about them, but after they didn’t come along when he moved everything down from his workshop I thought they must be with his brother or a friend.
🔹It’s really lovely the way Nick the Tree Surgeon has become part of the Lalande family, and with mutual respect. I’ve gotten a bit better with his accent. I’m still not understanding everything, but when he was first introduced I was just hopeless. Shoutout for his fabulous T-Shirt, perfect!
🔹Such fun to see the oh, so handsome goat cheese guy again, more please! In addition to his charm hIs cheeses look fabulous. Cheese is the reason I never went vegan. I just couldn’t give it up.
🔹Please know that it doesn’t matter what the politicians say or do, the people of the USA will always stand with the UK and have our heartfelt support. Our condolences on your loss. Sending some special ❤️ to Andrew.
Andrew is an incredibly entertaining and wonderful cook , chief at all he tries. Thanks
Well said!
OMG, I’ve never her Cat sing before, and Maria what a talent on the piano and a chef, loved it 🥰
This made me really proud to be a patron! Loved every bit of it! Maybe someday we can make the trip across the pond! Even a little bit each month can help! If you have thought about becoming a patron, there is no better time to do it than the present! Stephanie is very open with us all. There are 2995 Lords and Ladies at $5 a month that’s $14,975 a month So with a little and many we contribute a huge sum each month and all of it goes toward the saving of the Chateau! None of it goes to the running of the Chateau! All of that is paid for by the bed and breakfast, the ad revenue and Nick and Michael Pott’s contributions. We also get wonderful behind the scenes videos, zoom chats, updates once a week on Wednesdays. Come and join us if you can! If you can’t, then your watching, liking and subscribing and watching the ads makes a huge contribution! 🎉 Much love from Lady Rhonda and Lady Olivia
Stephanie makes being a patron worth it. I've been a patron to several other channels and ended up stopping because I felt they didn't really give much to it. I love that Stephanie does an extra video a week for us. Not just releasing the vlog early for patrons. I don't care enough to see something earlier to be a patron.
@@kimberlyearly8918 exactly!!!
@@kimberlyearly8918 have you checked out Oliver Strong’s channel! So worth being a patron to his as well. He does a daily diary for the patrons. Sometimes a video and sometimes just gorgeous pictures with lots of writing. So good. And his channel is hilarious. His wife Camilla is a hoot! It’s called Magical Modernist Mansion
I am also a very proud patreon for a long time and watching this vlog has made me realized It was the right decision.
@@ichaconf yes!!!!!
Basically, Lalande certainly stands for tolerance, a lot of love and happiness for many. But especially when I see Amaury's parents, it gives me a warm feeling that there is the right one for everyone out there. Especially for heartbreak very healing😍 The two are simply pot and lid - wonderful
Covid was also part of the “magic” that ended up bringing LaLande to many of us in the rest of the world! I discovered your channel during lock downs. You were a connection to the outside world that was so refreshing while quarantined to a tiny little radius near where we live.
Yes! TH-cam saved me in summer 2020! This channel and others helped me see the world that summer! 💕💕
Yes! Same!!
Wow, wow, wow, everything is beautiful, art work by Micheal, Phillip, Marie, Marie, Nati, Kat, the tables, the weather, everyone coming!!! The cooks, and all who pitched in. The guest from all over the city is amazing!!! The Marquee, the Society's Person, all of the Patrons!!!
Thank you Stephanie, this has been a wonderful video!!! I feel I have had a wonderful break.
You have a good man there Steph, I adore him. Mind you, you are surrounded by great people. 💖. God bless all the patrons, I'm just sorry I'm not able to support you in that way. I wish you and your La Lande and all those who support you many blessings and continued success. I was just thinking if you could get pens made with a La Lande stamp, or maybe some small framed pictures of La Lande for the shop.
What a beautiful voice Kat has and Maria’s piano playing is amazing.
I think, after seeing the front of the chateau, that maybe the best way to designate the main front door into the entrance hall would be to source two very large urns and have them planted or filled for all the seasons, with flowers in spring summer and fall and then evergreen branches in winter. It’ll be a good solution for the time being until the face work is done
That would be amazing!!!
Awesome. Loved the way everyone pitched in. Wish Michael could have been there too. Its time he came for a visit. Glad Nick is joining in more. It was great to see Marie snd her fliwers which were superb. Philip was the hero of the day staying up all night and letting you rest. His dream has come true, he has dogs at the chateau...and he can hand them back like grandchildren. Best of all worlds. I can see some dog adventures coing up. Great video thankyou.
I think you mean Nik and Marie and Antoine they were not there Michael was there just a simple accident
@@annaheater8906 I think Tina means Michael Petherick. 😊
@@annaheater8906 I think she is referring to Nick the tree surgeon / arborist. He's a fantastic asset for the Chateau. I don't know their business relationship, but the fellows of his caliber charge a boatload of money for what they offer.
He has a small fortune invested in his mill and shop on wheels and he usually has his son in tow too. He looks pretty low maintenance, but offers a rather rare and wonderful service that's incredibly valuable to a châtelaine. Stephanie has enough wooded area of land to warrant an arborist that visits multiple times a year. The fact that he processes it, including milling as needed, is incredible.
At the risk of judging a book by its cover, I'll bet Nick has some really interesting stories to tell. I'd live to visit Stephanie and all the Lalanders some day. As a horticulturist, Nick, Kirsty and Dan would all be Interesting to engage in conversation. Meanwhile, I'm content to peer into their lives several times a week, as they allow.
And a fat hedgehog 🦔 😆👌
Maria is so talented. I got goosebumps.
It's all happening in Lalande. Such a joy to watch Patron Day. Stephanie, you are truly blessed to have good, talented and supportive people around you in Lalande. Nick the tree surgeon and of course Gerry are the stars 🌟 of the show !!
What a lovely video, Lalanders. Your shot of the hedgehog crossing the field at the end of day three was just the nicest touch. What an amazing group of people you've gathered together -- every episode looks like such fun, it is nice to share in the joy and talent of all of your hardwork :)
I come from the part of Greece that makes the best feta and cheese in general. Our nickname is "cheeses"! It would be great if monsieur le cheese maker could visit us and have a taste of all different varieties. Anyway, I'm so glad the local mayor and Senator are involved. It means they understand it is a project that benefits the local community and that they should help/contribute in any way that they can.
Κασέρι;
@@marioula05 Κασέρια, γραβιέρες, τα πάντα!
As if your cousin couldn’t be any better he has two wonderful dogs. I could have guessed.
Joy joy joy!! What a treat to visit with other fellow Lalanders and Meet the whole Lalande Cast. Stephanie you are the Magic. Thank you. ❤
After a gathering of all the family, friends and volunteers who have touched our heats. A wonderful three days with everyone showing off their talents and talking with all their different groups! And such hard work before hand. Thank you to all the patrons and Lalanders for sharing it with us!😘😘😘
You look very lovely in your dress, purple 💜 is so becoming on you, Steph. We wishes we could be there... there's always a next time 😉
Thank you so very much for sharing this momentous moment in Lalande. A Success!!! 👏👏👏
Michael Potts is so down to earth! I hope he sold most of his produced photos of Lalande!!! I am definitely sure, I would end up buying one as he is such a professional photographer! He has an eye on any subject! 🤞🤞
It was amazing meeting all of you at Lalande and meeting all the Lalanders.
It was a bit surreal to be at Lalande and entering the rooms and walking on its ground, especially to get used to the different perspectives of the rooms and exterior.
But it was a wonder to see all the care you all put in to make those OpenDays very special for all of us.
You were all so nice and open, I loved talking to all of you.
Some of the people I talked the most to:
- Amaury is such a gentle soul, loving and caring person, I could talk hours with him,
- Philip is radiating so much joy, passion and he has such exquisite taste, sense of details and know how to tell a story
- Stéphanie is radiating this joy, spark of life, hopefullness about Life and she is an amazing being
- Nick is an amazing person, I could listen to him for hours, everything he was sharing was so interesting,
- Andie what an incredible person and artist, seeing her arts in person was a gift
- Michael Potts, his photographies are really incredible to see, I really enjoyed talking with him
- Chantale, Isabelle, Maria, Nattie, Kat and Chloe were so nice and so interesting to talk too, I really enjyed to talk with them, even if it was just for a little bit :)
I want to thank all of the people who are Patrons. I am unable to afford it but if I could I would because it is so important to keep history alive. What fun it must have been for everyone to get a chance to meet everyone we know so well through your videos and for you to get to meet all of the wonderful people who have been so much help in taking the restoration of La Lande to the next level. The weather was truly a blessing and then to see Hook's little rear end scurrying off was just perfection. No one will ever be able to replace Her Majesty the Queen but I do wish the new King Charles III all the best. God Save the King.
Well said Carole! You are welcome. I am a Patron who gives a little but many littles make a lot! Hehe! You are doing your part by watching, liking and subscribing! It all helps. Isn’t it fun being part of something bigger than yourself and helping to save history for those who come later. I just loved the reading of the Marquis’ letter! It truly said it all. Stephanie was so very sad when he died. RIP to Her Majesty and best wishes to the new King from a fan in America! 🥰🇺🇸🇬🇧
Good evening everybody ! I hope that feeling better Stéphanie !
What a marvellous Philippe and Michael !
What beautiful patrons 🙏🏽
And Maria’s absolutely brilliant music. This has been the most magical episode, Stephanie, Phillip & everyone xxx
Glad you're feeling better, Stephanie.
From across the pond, our sincerest condolences for your dear Queen
What a glorious three day event! I am so happy for you all and in its success. I came across a haters vlog who made the comment that you planned it during days that would rain purposely. I stick my tongue out to them and throw mud their way. Way to go LaLanders! Great job and I hope soon to be a patron and to come to visit. Blessings to you all.
Now that shes famous , the jealous haters come out...i ignore them all. If you are a true fan you know their wrong. Stephanie is full of life , love & laughter and i enjoy every minute !!
How could she do that even if she wanted too? They've been planning it for many months. Some people just have nothing better to do than spread hate.
Haters gonna hate. We just have to kill them with kindness and love just like Stephanie does. I feel sorry for people who feel like they have to tear others down to make themselves feel better. Their self esteem must be really low! 😩🥰🙏🏻
remember no one is perfect.
They must be very ignorant, whoever they are! I'm sure we would ALL love to know what the weather will be like months in advance from an important date, but that is impossible.
I wish I could have been there...a truly brilliant event of appreciation. Well done, all!
You deserve your success. You are a great team. Love to all !
Congratulations on such a wonderful gathering….well done! God Save the Queen!
This channel really got me through the pandemic especially when I discovered this in 2020. It's so heartwarming to see all the patrons experience the chateau 💗💗💗
This has been your most exciting event yet. Three days of joy. I have seldom seen such beautiful flower arrangements, beautiful food, happy people, eclectic entertainment, and the rooms so lovingly prepared for this event. Everyone contributed toward its success. I’m going to save this vlog as my favorite. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations. It takes a whole village to raise a chateau. Well done. Such fun. Phew now rest for two days and do nothing….
Amaury your dogs are beautiful ! I hope that they will behave well
I bet they missed their poppa!
What an amazing occasion, you made your patrons so happy. Everything looked great and everyone looked at their best. Such a wonderful family . Thankyou 🤗
Fabulous job everyone! Also, so happy to see Amaury’s dogs are part of the “pack” now 🐶❤️
Yesss!!! 😍😍
Iv'e hurt my back too Stephanie, just lying here with a lap top watching this wonderful life unfold at La Lande. My black dog, Mr Darcy was very interested in the blonde labs, I'm sure he will now enjoy the vlogs too. Blonde labs are his favourite.
Such worderfull overwhelming talent surrounds Lalande!
How lovely to have Percy showing such pride in you Stephanie!! You and your mum are twice blessed it seems 💕
So wonderful to film the Patron Days ! & play for all !!! Thank you ! I had no idea Kat sang ! Incredible!!!!
To see so much happiness is a great delight. Thanks to all concerned.
Nick, the tree surgeon's personality has really flowered under such positive reinforcements of his talents. It shows how much that it's not just that you are attracting talented people, but that you bring out the best in them. This was such a wonderful vlog, you really allowed all your workers and volunteers to shine along with you. Much love to you all.
What a wonderful three days of the gathering of the beautiful LaLanders. Wishing I could have been there.🌻
Although I am not a patron, I remain very loyal to your channel as you bring me so much pleasure. You all have out done yourselves to make this event the huge success it was and I for one commend you all. Bravo.
Thank God for his over seeing LaLande. I was in tears, I have been a subscriber and have watched ever episode. This has been a great accomplishment. And you all 8n white, Amaury's pups joining the family ...So moving. You have moved heaven and earth these years. Beautiful! Congratulations!
WOW! Such exciting days! Everything looked so beautiful. The tables looked fantastic with Marie's flowers and Sarah's tablecloths. Maria's concert was outstanding! She's EXTREMELY talented! And Cat can sing so well! I'm sure every single guest was happy to be there. Maybe I can make it next year. I really wanted to this year but just couldn't work it out.
I know, I'm so happy to see Marie is back!
So happy the patron days went well, it looked amazing! On another note, I was at school teaching when the news broke. Thank goodness I didn't look at my phone until the kids had left. It's such a shock and deep loss, even here in America. My deepest sympathies to all who loved her ❤️
I'm in Atlanta, GA and yes it's so sad for us! She was the most incredible monarch I think the entire world has seen in the past 100 years!
I feel as though I am there!! All of it, magic created by all of you woven with unity and love....thank you for the welcome. I have been dreaming about hearing Maria playing in the Marquis salon... and with the new paneling, it is heaven. This little patron has enjoyed these days shared with you all.
I love Kirsty and Nick. Great day was had by all I’m sure
Congratulations it looks like everyone had a fabulous stay.
Stephanie's Dad must be holding the storm so the patrons can have a glorious experience at Lalande. Stephanie has a grateful heart that's why she is richly blessed. Molly and Phoebe are adorable! I love the white bowl given by Sven, the food by Guillaume, Dana and Andrew, Maria and Kat's mini-concert, Marie's flowers, and Percy's parking jacket! I cracked when Gerry with his characteristic humor asked the patrons if they need an interpreter. And Philip - I cannot believe the planning and organization that went with this event. You have an excellent team at Lalande. Is this going to be an annual event? I bet it will get better every time.
Just when I thought I couldn’t be loving this video one bit more I see Percy in the parking uniform (Day 1) , the New Marquis (Day 2) and Jerry the interpreter. There are always these hidden gems that make me laugh out loud. Phillip is a fantastic tour guide. He has such an obvious passion for the Chateau and all it holds. Stephanie your team thrives because of your leadership, well done. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of this very special event. Beautiful ❤
Stephanie, thank you for including all of us on your special day!!! Such fun!!!!
What a treat to see Josie again! And Maria and Kats concert was amazingly beautiful
I am not a patron, as yet, but I have been so inspired by the wonderful sense of joy and sharing of gifts in all the volunteers that have helped Stephanie and her family, create such a beautiful Chateau. May you continue to be blessed.
I had goosebumps watching this episode! Amazing, stunning, wonderful ❤️ What a great job of everybody! ❤️
I am so very happy for you Stephanie. I loved this and I have to admit I cried when you read the letter . I just felt so much joy and pride that all your hard work over the years has been recognized and appreciated . You truly deserve all the best . I may not be a patron at this time but I am so happy for those that are. Much love as always to all of you at LaLande
Congratulations to all. A wonderful 3 days.
Thanks for today. It is the most beautiful and exciting three days I have been watching. It´s elections day in Sweden. We have had so many problems in the country with an increasing criminality, so for me to be with you has been so refreshing. Nice to see you all and the patreons. I just missed Hani.
Yes, Hanni was greatly missed by me as well.
Thank you for sharing these special patron days with us. So wonderful to see the wonderful Lalanders all sharing the beauty of the place, as well as their talents. I follow and have watched and liked, every episode, but as a senior caring for a disabled son, I cannot be a patron, yet, still feel very involved,because of all you generously share with us. Love and blessings to all.
Stephanie the green dress is divine.
It was laughter and tears. Stephanie’s speech to the patrons left me in tears. So beautiful. How lucky were the patrons to enjoy the company of all the Lalanders. It’s like spending a day with your favourite movie stars. The Chateau looked beautiful.
Loved the vlog. Philip is such an asset. His organisational skills and eye for detail is fantastic. You are surrounded by so many talented people. What a joy.
I'm so glad that your Patreon days went so well, team work certainly makes the dream work at Lalande!! I'm also blown away by how talented Marie is, what a stunning pianist and wonderful cook!! Xx
Mummy, you looked fabulous in all of your outfits each day. So happy to see you back at LaLande. But what else can I say really, except I wish I had been there to meet you all. 😘
Thank you for sharing your patron days! Everything looked lovely and welcoming to everyone. Maria sounded magnificent playing the piano, I hadn't heard a more beautiful play of the keys before hearing her. Thank you for sharing a snippet of her playing :) It has been a very sad week with the passing of the Queen.
Yeah, if we would have any extra money, I’d be a patron, but we don’t.
I just love you and all you do and I enjoy all you bring to us.
Thank you so much for all the joy!! 💝💞💝
You were all genuinely enjoying every moment in the video, fortunate people
Let me catch my breath! I felt such joy watching this, and consider myself, along with countless others I'm sure, honorary patrons for a day! I too, thank all of them for what they've help bring to life! A most delightful vlog!!
