Seeing the peacock and peahen with peachicks roosting on the gate posts seems more beautiful than an any statuary or vases could ever be. 💗. There is so much that I love in this video! Mummy twirling in her pretty dress, Jerry working diligently on the ceiling, the gold accents that really go beautifully, lovely sweets by the equally lovely Natalia, a beautiful plant for Mummy, and more! And finishing up with tango and salsa is a beautiful cherry on top! Thank you for sharing your inspired and inspiring lives with us!
You should keep the damaged print and put it up somewhere less frequented in the chateau where you probably won't come up close to it. That way you can embellish another room with some pretty art and it won't go to waste.
Thank you for showing us the Peahen and her babies. It was great to see the entire family roosting at the front gate of Lalande. They can be called the Guardians of the Chateau. It is always a pleasure watching your vlogs Stephanie, take care and be well. Cheers.
Great to see the Pea chicks flying and to see the pair of peacocks sitting on the gate posts was a perfect picture! Selmar is such great value, a skilled craftsman, apple pie maker extraordinaire and tango teacher!
Stephanie you, your Mum and All the delightful people at the chateau have been so fun to watch. Please be sure to continue to record any visits to the charity shops. You have a much nicer selection
Oh! Saw that Selmar and Natie were dancing Salsa at the end. I am Cuban by birth and love to dance Salsa, Rumba and ChaCha...hope to be able to dance at La Lande one day! 💃
PAINTING TIP: For latex paint if you take plastic wrap (the type you use in the kitchen) wrap your roller or paint brush in a couple of layers then place in the refrigerator, it can stay there 2 to 3 days without being washed out. Great if you want to take a break from painting then start right at it later.
@@dragonfly9851 Thanks I get it I was thinking weird like gloves. I am an Aussie we call it acrylic paint as opposed to oil paint. Thanks for the reply
I don't know about anyone else, but when I watch these videos, I find that I instantly develop a smile that stays with me all the way thru until the very end.
There’s something about Mummy , I catch myself with a big smile on the verge of laughing out loud just knowing she’s about to say something in a well crafted and humorous way.
The tango lessons are going fabulously well! You have all improved greatly with the help of Selmar. I love seeing what outfit Selmar will have on. He is always resplendent! It is so good too to see more work being done on the chateau. No wonder you can all eat chocolate and cupcakes since you burn off all the calories with hard work.
Can’t get over everything that gets done in a day with everyone working together...........lovely to see the little babies doing so well ,there will be feathers everywhere when the chicks arrive.....what fun, I can’t wait to see the hen houses that Selmar will build, beautiful as always I’m sure......stay well..........Donna in Toronto
What a beautiful sight the peahen with her chicks. Another treat the tango lessons with the ever so suave Selmar & his pink tie. The man knows how to dress. Thank you Stephanie for another entertaining vlog
My daughter said that my watching so many Chateau Diaries has turned her inner voice British 😂 Meanwhile my little dog is jumping up, paws on the tv stand trying to see where the peacock went when it flew on top of the pillar. Too funny!
Dear Stephanie and everyone there, I am really enjoying the enthusiasm, pace, and length of these videos. Thank you so much for packing a lot into a half an hour of joyful pause in my day. Sending peace and love.
I am SOOOO HAPPY about the books!! I am so happy that they will be useful😁😁😁😁😁Now....Ms. Jarvis, Young Lady...🤨 well now I know what we shall we will be doing when/if we ever get to do work away.... Two things: 1. My husband is a massive perfectionist 2. He works for a paint company (like a Benjamin Moore) so when I saw you rolling without covering the lights and other things on your walls.... and i am crazy about the chicks and the chicken village!! 😁😁😁😁💕 I almost passed out😜 Now I am assuming the rest of the ceiling will be scraped, prepared, primed and have two coats?😎 And yes... save the painting for the Wheelers😉😊😊😊😎 He's not quite as handy as Selmar but almost😉
Shannon, oh my goodness! After watching Sunday's episode, I went to Amazon to gather some books for my library! Yikes! One of them was offered at 800.00 plus dollars. (just a wee bit over my budget......for the next decade. LOL) I am so please you chose to offer these lovely gifts to LaLonde. I'm sure everyone will appreciate your generosity for many years. What a kind gesture. Bless you.
A very generous gesture and well placed at LaLande. I really enjoyed watching everyone look through the books. I thought is was so amazing that someone sent them. Fabulous. I look forward to the Vlogs when you join the team. Yes agree with your husbands painting advice..ha ha. Oh well - at least Stephanie looks glam wielding a paint roller.....
The floral studio is going to be beautiful; it's great to see Marie back and getting settled. Tomas, is multi-talented and able to help out in so many ways. Selmar is a gifted carpenter, a great dancer and always knows what to say and when to say it! Stephanie, I love the art from South Africa; it will look beautiful in your room. Your vlogs have really helped to lift my spirits during the pandemic in Los Angeles. To all Lalanders... thank you for sharing a bit of the chateau life!
Isabelle is amazing. Her energy and beauty. She looks so stylish in the beautiful blue & white dress. Loving the gold bling decoration. ❤ The Talia Blue & White dress is sold out 😪
@@bellaluna321 The dress is from a company called Salisa, in the UK. I managed to get one in the pale pink, it's so pretty and as Isabelle said, very easy and comfortable to wear!
I liked the bit about the chickens as I currently have 4 roosters! Now, how that came to be was that just before lock down I promised 2 friends that I'd rear some extra chickens with my own new chicks for this year. I took a chance and ordered some 'straight run' even tho I should have just ordered pullets, but I wanted some fun bantam breeds. Now, I've 4 roosters (though a good deal more new hens) and both friends couldn't get them DUE to lock down and now, no longer want them. THUS, I've many more hens and 4 roosters! This morning was actually the day I found it was 4 and not 3 as the big fluffy white silky I thought was a hen , was crowing as proud as you like waiting for me to come and let them loose, as I usually do around 5:30 am. He was so proud, he strutted up and down the smaller run into which they are locked in the evening (we have coyotes, fox, raccoons, and all matter of prey birds) . He proudly strutted out crowing all the while. He is rather large , for a Silkie which is a bantam. My other 3 roos are 2 of the beautiful porcelain d'uccle bantams I bought as a pet project. I've a notion to raise these amazing birds in their own private pen (when I can get around to building it) And of these there are 2 roos and 2 hens. But they get along so well, I shall leave all four together when they get their own pen. And the final roo is the best and silliest! He is an Old English Game bird, and he has 2 wives now (luckily of those three tiny bantams one roo and two hens is a good mix) and he is no bigger than a pigeon, but proud and daring as a BULL! For now, they all live happily with my older 6 hens and make a motley crew. At some point, when it cools down, I'm sure I'll make videos of whatever I come up with for their new homes. I'd LOVE to make a sort of georgian folly style coop and run for the Porcelain D'uccle, they are like little delicate flowers of the chicken world, with their feathered feet and sot pale patterned plumage. Sorry to go on about my chickens, but they are all rather my little pets. And of course I've 17 little quail chicks currently 'brooding' in my studio bathroom! Lol, yet not a peacock...YET :)
Oh and just to add, Brahmas are such a good bird. Of the latest batch of chicks I was going on about 4 are brahma hens. I had a brahma once, that was such a pet, she was called 'buttons' as she loved to hop upon my lap and snap buttons off my cardi. We were living in our little antique cottage the year I had her and she'd greet me at the kitchen door, pecking to come in and I'd open it and she'd stroll in bold as brass looking for hand outs. I miss being able to free range my birds, but we've are too many chicken eating animals out here in our wood :/ Sorry to go on about chickens.
@@DonnaDavisArt They are collectivly called chooks, here in New Zealand and also in Australia (Oz) but male chooks are roosters. We are not allowed roosters in the cities, as they would wake everyone up.
@@rebeccacerecke4511 Oh that is too bad, though I have a couple of hens that 'announce' their egg laying louder than my little banty roos that's for sure :) We're pretty secluded tho, so no worries about complaining neighbours :)
Wow!!!!! Selmar you can salsa and you do it with class and smoothly. Dancing and music are so important for the spirit and soul as far as I’m concerned, but to see you dancing salsa in a fabulous castle takes it to a different level. You are all bringing so much joy to your audience; I don’t laugh easily but all of you make me laugh. Keep up your great work.
I can’t tell you how excited I was to see Selmar and Nattie dancing salsa. Salsa is my favorite dance. I also love Tango. I haven’t been able to go to my dance studio because of the lockdown and I miss dancing terribly. I hope when I come to visit Lalande in the future that there will be dancing just as there was in this vlog.
(Moira Ashton) Brilliant vlog! All so lovely, and to finish with the dancing, wonderful!!! Great to see the Peacocks and babies and little Smart Diesel!! 🏰💓💗😍
A suggestion for the flower studio : Love Thomas' initiative hanging the curtain but consider replacing it with an old Lalande door ( s ) which would slide on a track suspended from the ceiling. Pipes camophlaged yet accessable.
Another wonderful vlog! I like how Dan is becoming so comfortable in front of the camera now. He was so reticent at first but now acts like its the most natural thing in the world. He's obviously succumbed to the Lalande spell!
If I was making a movie that involved renovating a chateau (along with other adventures, romance, etc.) I'd cast every single person already involved in la Lande. The mix of hard work and a variety of eccentricities is fascinating. I look forward to every episode. Do I see an Emmy or Golden Globe in the future? The recent addition of Tomaz and Selmar has punched up the energy very nicely. Congrats, everyone for shining on!
❤️❤️❤️ I'm so happy to see Marie's floral studio coming to life. The beauty is amplified by the fact that all the pieces have a story behind them. I think that is what makes Lalande different from other chateaus. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm going to bake a cake. A lemon cake iced with drizzled sugar. Delicious. That's how a visit to LaLande inspires me and leaves me feeling happy and content seeing such beauty, comfort and joy. Love you guys.
I love to see the restoration taking place and Selmar is a good dancer as is everyone .It is nice to see it come together and the gold paint was a good choice.
Oh what a beautiful day y’all did have... the peachicks are so cute. And Sif and Thor on the gate post with their chicks is just so darling. Mummy’s apartment is gorgeous as is she in her blue and white new dress! Nati’s cupcakes are “to die for”. The entry “screams” elegant & welcoming Chateau. So exciting to see the entry and it’s refinement. Love the gold on the doors. The florist studio will be so picturesque when completed. And lastly, the dancing...just perfect & fun and a great community event to end the perfect day. 😊💐❤️
It is so much fun watching you all, the changes in the chateau, and how much fun you all have. I am sure you have challenges but you give me many happy times watching! Thank you Gerald for the fun, Tomas for your artistic talents, Marie for the beautiful flowers, Mummy for her love of life and yes, Selma for the dancing! Greetings all and thank you! Miss Stephanie....you are one fantastic lady!
good job Gerald and Stephanie, Tomaz & wonderful baking in the kitchen with Nattie. I am sure that the gold adornment painting is pain staking in the wonderful entrance hall!. Happy to see Mummy taking a break & the great footage of the pea chicks and their parents making your property even more beautiful. Things are really humming at the chateau; thank you; take good care of our Gerry! We are also having our peak of summer hot days....which I do prefer over our extremely cold winter. lots of "hugs" all from Canada. xo♥
Scotman is so adorable! Nati is so pretty! That dress is lovely on you, Isabelle! Good job, Selmar and Dan! Marie, I’m so excited to see you back at LaLande! I love the way everyone works together! Love to all, Steph! ❤️❤️
Mommy‘a new beautiful dress ! A nice paint job in the front room. And to end it off a beautiful tango that Selmar demonstrates with Natalie and Stephanie. Have a great weekend! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Nooo what am I going to do now?? I have binge watching this playlist for about 4 days and got so surprised when it stopped! It like when you've watched a Netflix series all in a row and all of a sudden it's over and you feel completely lost! It's like looking up and not really knowing where you are because you been attending a different life for days. I have watched this while cooking, eating, walking my dog and yesterday I even showered with you guys on. I just had to keep watching. Thank you for all the entertainment and I am so in love with Gerry and Isabelle 💚💜
Mummy looks great in the new dress. So happy to see the baby peachicks growing and taking flight! Love seeing work getting done on the chateau. Keep sharing the progress. So nice of your subscriber to drop off a belated gift to mummy.
I had watched the garden section and had an idea about the door at the end of the garden wall that isn’t symmetrically placed to the front entrance of the garden. I had thought, as you face the door, you could haves statue on the left of it. Then, on the left of that statue, have a “fake” door in the wall. This could give you the symmetry you desire? I also was going to suggest a hedging of lavenders for the dividing fence, but now I see that there are other plans afoot. I was thinking of the aroma of the sun warmed lavenders would add to the magic of your beautiful walled garden. So enjoy your ethos, Susan from Tasmania 🌸
I can see how nature inspires artists , seeing the hens jump on top of the post and imagining a carved version of them on a grand old gate from antiquity. However, it's so nice to have the real things.
Oh love all the painting especially the gold. Ah the little peahens flying all the way to the gateposts so grown up now. Thank you Stephanie for another lovely video x
Hi Stephanie. I am from South Africa and love to watch your channel. A few friend and I am planning to visit you as soon as lockdown is over! We cant wait!!
Thank you for another wonderful vlog Stephanie and team. Loved every bit of it. I grew up with Bantam hens and one Bantam rooster. He lived with the hens and protected them, had a beautiful nature. Roosters crow more when with other roosters, as they compete for rank. Also bantams make great pets as they are friendly. :) Looking forward to seeing Selma’s chicken houses. Have a wonder week, much love xo
Love following the progress of the peachicks! Wow!! they all looked stunning on top of the entrance gate pillars! I bet one of your patrons is already sourcing 2 Marble Sculptures of your Mummy and Daddy Peacocks for each pillar?? Can't wait for that unboxing episode! Stephanie you and your Mum are the "BEST"xx
That dress on Isabelle looks so flattering...a little girl..always.nothing else...so warms my heart..😊 Tango at the Chateau is also as beautiful..🔝 Book ends that match equally🔰 A full blog giving us a good overview HAPPY DAYS🐓🐓🐓HAPPY DAYS 🐓🐓 🐓
So glad to see Scotman again! Im so happy he continues to improve he has the best attitude!! He definitely needs a new painters outfit as that one is very holy or he needs to be painting the chapel lol
Love the peacocks on the posts looking so majestic. Love the dancing always. Have to say again how sweet of a guy Dan looks to be. I may have to adopt him.
WOW !..... you can REALLY hear the power in the wings of the peacocks as they fly up onto the gate posts!! Nice to to see all those dancing becoming more swift and agile and confident in their quick and smooth tango dance steps!! Beautiful painting continues in the chateau! Floral studio continues to take on a wonderful style! Good work team LaLonde!
I love the stables! It's a great place for Marie to work, but I hope eventually they will be restored, complete with the horse's name plates remaining over the stalls. I love that - Wouldn't it be wonderful if the former owners happened to have a photo of the horses that you could place in their stalls as a reminder of earlier times.
I really enjoy your videos. This might sound wierd but they help me fall asleep. I often watch it in bed and drift off because they are so relaxing. The next morning i re-watch them so that i accidentally do see all of them. Its a nice way to start the day
I just love, love, love watching your vlogs, everyone is so kind and friendly, but I suppose, if you live in a wonderful Chateau like Lalande why would you be any other way. Love you all, xxx Doreen, Melbourne, Australia
The people you gather to you at the chateau are so interesting and accomplished. I always want to know more about them. What is Selmar’s background? When did he learn to dance? Etc! Bravo to you all. I love this vlog!
Or just bring Michael over because I love episodes with him in! I'm still waiting for them to sew up the fancy robes they selected fabrics for, though it's not like they're super busy or anything!! hahaha
Kauai, Hawaii has massive numbers of wild chickens all over the island. We used to vacation there for Christmas or in January and always stayed in rental cottages. The guest comment books would always be filled with: “love the place, but the roosters are too loud.” But we loved the sight and sound of them! And they would crow at all times, not just sunrise. Those chickens are one of the things I miss most about being there. Thank you all so much for allowing us into your lives at Lalande. Looking forward to taking a trip to France and Italy in 2021 or 22. Will definitely book several days at Lalande! Or come as a Workaway.
It is the people that make this place magical and a fairytale. You all are so so charming and have such a great connection to one another. My mind drifts as if I was ready a book and meeting you all in my thoughts
I vote for an entire vlog of Selmar and Nattie dancing! They were in perfect time with eachother. Selmar is the perfect Renaissance man, is there nothing he can do?

Lady Isabelle Attfield looks wonderful in the dress
Michael is amazing talented and a gentleman

The pic of peacocks on gate post would be beautiful as a wall tapestry
You should keep the damaged print and put it up somewhere less frequented in the chateau where you probably won't come up close to it. That way you can embellish another room with some pretty art and it won't go to waste.
Oliver could probably paint those scratches and no one would even notice them
Yes, great idea x
Thank you for showing us the Peahen and her babies. It was great to see the entire family roosting at the front gate of Lalande. They can be called the Guardians of the Chateau. It is always a pleasure watching your vlogs Stephanie, take care and be well. Cheers.
Selma you look very smartly dressed in this video to be in the garden talking about Chicken. X
Great to see the Pea chicks flying and to see the pair of peacocks sitting on the gate posts was a perfect picture!
Selmar is such great value, a skilled craftsman, apple pie maker extraordinaire and tango teacher!
So glad the 4 peachicks are surviving!
Stephanie you, your Mum and All the delightful people at the chateau have been so fun to watch. Please be sure to continue to record any visits to the charity shops. You have a much nicer selection

I love everyone there! Selmar, thomas, Dan, the girls.....what a wonderful life. Love all the animals too!
Me too Liz!!

Great tip. I ll try and remember it for myself.
doesnt even need to be in the fridge. Ive had it out for a few days in warmer room temp and theyre fine.
What is latex paint??
Non oil paint. Acrylic maybe. Its paint that can be washed off the brush with water. Sorry I don't know what you call it.

Mummy’s apartment is gorgeous as is she in her blue and white new dress! Nati’s cupcakes are “to die for”. The entry “screams” elegant & welcoming Chateau. So exciting to see the entry and it’s refinement. Love the gold on the doors. The florist studio will be so picturesque when completed. And lastly, the dancing...just perfect & fun and a great community event to end the perfect day. 😊💐❤️
Hi Stephanie. Can't live without your videos. Thank you. Be well.
Nick has a chin and nose, what a surprise. 🤣
Plus he smiles 🤗
AND HE WAS GRINNING!! BRILLIANT!! 😂🤣😂
Lovely, Selmar. You live in a magical place. Fairy mushrooms everywhere too. Lol. You captured stunning visuals. 🥰🥰🥰
I loved this blog, the painting and Jerry, the peacocks and the tango with Selma and company ❤️
The 2 peafowl perched on the gate posts look so romantic and beautiful...
It is so much fun watching you all, the changes in the chateau, and how much fun you all have. I am sure you have challenges but you give me many happy times watching! Thank you Gerald for the fun, Tomas for your artistic talents, Marie for the beautiful flowers, Mummy for her love of life and yes, Selma for the dancing! Greetings all and thank you! Miss Stephanie....you are one fantastic lady!
good job Gerald and Stephanie, Tomaz & wonderful baking in the kitchen with Nattie. I am sure that the gold adornment painting is pain staking in the wonderful entrance hall!. Happy to see Mummy taking a break & the great footage of the pea chicks and their parents making your property even more beautiful. Things are really humming at the chateau; thank you; take good care of our Gerry! We are also having our peak of summer hot days....which I do prefer over our extremely cold winter. lots of "hugs" all from Canada. xo♥
Scotman is so adorable! Nati is so pretty! That dress is lovely on you, Isabelle! Good job, Selmar and Dan! Marie, I’m so excited to see you back at LaLande! I love the way everyone works together! Love to all, Steph! ❤️❤️
Mommy‘a new beautiful dress ! A nice paint job in the front room. And to end it off a beautiful tango that Selmar demonstrates with Natalie and Stephanie. Have a great weekend! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Nooo what am I going to do now?? I have binge watching this playlist for about 4 days and got so surprised when it stopped! It like when you've watched a Netflix series all in a row and all of a sudden it's over and you feel completely lost! It's like looking up and not really knowing where you are because you been attending a different life for days. I have watched this while cooking, eating, walking my dog and yesterday I even showered with you guys on. I just had to keep watching. Thank you for all the entertainment and I am so in love with Gerry and Isabelle 💚💜
Mummy looks great in the new dress. So happy to see the baby peachicks growing and taking flight! Love seeing work getting done on the chateau. Keep sharing the progress. So nice of your subscriber to drop off a belated gift to mummy.
Selmar is the Tango champ! What fun!
💓The gold touches look fantastic... LOVE watching Selma dance, he is very Multi talented definitely a keeper💓
Mummy looks so pretty in her dress!! I can’t wait to see the chicken in their new home and the newly painted room is perfection! As are these vlogs 💗
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching the TANGO dancing!!!
I had watched the garden section and had an idea about the door at the end of the garden wall that isn’t symmetrically placed to the front entrance of the garden. I had thought, as you face the door, you could haves statue on the left of it. Then, on the left of that statue, have a “fake” door in the wall. This could give you the symmetry you desire? I also was going to suggest a hedging of lavenders for the dividing fence, but now I see that there are other plans afoot. I was thinking of the aroma of the sun warmed lavenders would add to the magic of your beautiful walled garden. So enjoy your ethos, Susan from Tasmania 🌸
I just love the energy that Tomas has. Blessed. 💟☮️
I can see how nature inspires artists , seeing the hens jump on top of the post and imagining a carved version of them on a grand old gate from antiquity. However, it's so nice to have the real things.
Stephanie I love your commentary about how mom and daughter can’t appear wearing the same dress at your age. Just hilarious 😂
My heart is pounding watching you paint with those pictures and valances hanging!!
Oh love all the painting especially the gold. Ah the little peahens flying all the way to the gateposts so grown up now. Thank you Stephanie for another lovely video x
If you raise a gosling with the chickens, they will guard the hens. I watch videos on that!
Kay Donahue I have seen that. They are called Guard Geese.
Hi Stephanie. I am from South Africa and love to watch your channel. A few friend and I am planning to visit you as soon as lockdown is over! We cant wait!!
Amazing ending with a salsa dance by Naty and Selma ❤❤
Thank you for another wonderful vlog Stephanie and team. Loved every bit of it. I grew up with Bantam hens and one Bantam rooster. He lived with the hens and protected them, had a beautiful nature. Roosters crow more when with other roosters, as they compete for rank. Also bantams make great pets as they are friendly. :) Looking forward to seeing Selma’s chicken houses. Have a wonder week, much love xo
Loved EVERYTHING, but especially the Tango night, fantastic!!!
Love following the progress of the peachicks! Wow!! they all looked stunning on top of the entrance gate pillars! I bet one of your patrons is already sourcing 2 Marble Sculptures of your Mummy and Daddy Peacocks for each pillar?? Can't wait for that unboxing episode! Stephanie you and your Mum are the "BEST"xx
Tomaz is adorable.
10/10 Selmar and Stephanie for your tango
That dress on Isabelle looks so flattering...a little girl..always.nothing else...so warms my heart..😊
Tango at the Chateau is also as beautiful..🔝
Book ends that match equally🔰

WOW, your dancing is all so amazing! I love everyone there. Thank you for making my life happier!
The peacocks look so beautiful on the concrete posts. I also loved the ending with the dancing. Selmar and Nattie were so graceful together.
So glad to see Scotman again! Im so happy he continues to improve he has the best attitude!! He definitely needs a new painters outfit as that one is very holy or he needs to be painting the chapel lol
They are so relaxed painting. I’m cringing at the thought of splattering paint on the tapestry and the drapes
Everything is looking lovely. Enjoyed. Love the dancing of the tango. Love to all ❤
Selmar is so fluid when he dances. Beautiful!
Well done!!! Painting, dancing, baking!!! Also, being super entertaining and hilarious for your viewers. We adore you all!
Thank You so much, as I know you all hear our news, I truly appreciate you all right now. The whole video was pure joy!!! Have a blessed weekend.
Love the peacocks on the posts looking so majestic. Love the dancing always. Have to say again how sweet of a guy Dan looks to be. I may have to adopt him.
Rewatching and enjoying again 😊😊😊
WOW !..... you can REALLY hear the power in the wings of the peacocks as they fly up onto the gate posts!! Nice to to see all those dancing becoming more swift and agile and confident in their quick and smooth tango dance steps!! Beautiful painting continues in the chateau! Floral studio continues to take on a wonderful style! Good work team LaLonde!
Handsome Selmar! Gotta love Jerry and Tomaz and everyone just contributing to the beauty of the Chateau.
I love the stables! It's a great place for Marie to work, but I hope eventually they will be restored, complete with the horse's name plates remaining over the stalls. I love that - Wouldn't it be wonderful if the former owners happened to have a photo of the horses that you could place in their stalls as a reminder of earlier times.
I really enjoy your videos. This might sound wierd but they help me fall asleep. I often watch it in bed and drift off because they are so relaxing. The next morning i re-watch them so that i accidentally do see all of them. Its a nice way to start the day
I just love, love, love watching your vlogs, everyone is so kind and friendly, but I suppose, if you live in a wonderful Chateau like Lalande why would you be any other way. Love you all, xxx Doreen, Melbourne, Australia
Hi, I am also in Melbourne. What a wonderful trip to France a few times a week? I love these Vlogs. My happy place.
Hi Stephanie. The doors look lovely with their gilding. So elegant just as they are.
I loved everything about this video...thank you Stephanie and all.
Such beautiful animals! And Ruby! That is the kitty’s name! She’s such a beauty too!
Oh, I remember those prints!! So divine.
The people you gather to you at the chateau are so interesting and accomplished. I always want to know more about them. What is Selmar’s background? When did he learn to dance? Etc! Bravo to you all. I love this vlog!
You need to have Michael bring his drone camera over and do new shots of the exterior since so many improvements have been made.
I think I'm the only one who finds drone episodes boring! 🤣
Or just bring Michael over because I love episodes with him in! I'm still waiting for them to sew up the fancy robes they selected fabrics for, though it's not like they're super busy or anything!! hahaha
@@marymcandrew7667 Michael's mom posted he's in Paris now.
Probably waiting until they update the courtyard
So pleased to see Diesel had a doggie spa treatment day, his fur was too long for summer. Diesel looks so much better and happier.
I am without words! Such a happy, peaceful place. ❤️
What a magnificent sight with the Peacocks on the gate posts! Tres magnifique!
Kauai, Hawaii has massive numbers of wild chickens all over the island. We used to vacation there for Christmas or in January and always stayed in rental cottages. The guest comment books would always be filled with: “love the place, but the roosters are too loud.” But we loved the sight and sound of them! And they would crow at all times, not just sunrise. Those chickens are one of the things I miss most about being there.
Thank you all so much for allowing us into your lives at Lalande. Looking forward to taking a trip to France and Italy in 2021 or 22. Will definitely book several days at Lalande! Or come as a Workaway.
It is the people that make this place magical and a fairytale. You all are so so charming and have such a great connection to one another. My mind drifts as if I was ready a book and meeting you all in my thoughts
Selmar looking dapper!!! X
I vote for an entire vlog of Selmar and Nattie dancing! They were in perfect time with eachother. Selmar is the perfect Renaissance man, is there nothing he can do?
