I love how Phillip makes eye contact with you and not the camera when he's speaking about the porcelain. I have enjoyed your vlogs for a while now, but have found refuge in catching up while at work at a stressful job. Thank you for all your hard work on each of these vlogs!
I actually knew what Amaury was describing, biscuit joining. It's quite refined. The men do have some slightly raunchy comments and it's funny. Love watching you cook Stephanie.
Being married to a carpenter for over 33 years I knew what Amaury was talking about when he said he would join the wood with biscuits. What ever Amaury makes seems to turn out just beautiful.
How fantastic that you’ve found a mate that shares similar hobbies and loves! I’m envious! And I LOVE the idea of sharing this gorgeous French château with so many friends and family. What an idyllic life! Your heart seems so kind and joyful; enjoy everything you’ve manifested! 💕💗🍾
"Can we use it tonight?" I love the way you both love so many of the same things and find joy in porcelain. Love love love it. You two are so sweet. The set is beautiful.
So happy to hear Isabel’s surgery was a success, I fear I’ll have to have the same thing eventually in my rt. eye as my vision is failing in that eye. Happy for Amaury to get his wood, I understand completely, my father had 2000 rough cut board feet of stunning Honduran mahogany shipped all the way to Nova Scotia Canada . Some was for working on the interior of his sailboat, some to trade for teak for decking and some to sell . A small problem though was the local fine wood purveyors couldn’t suggest a price to charge as they said it was priceless here. Dad lovingly cut and planed it himself and it was amazing. It’s great to see so much progress on all the projects and the garden start to come alive for spring, we have over a foot of snow a lot which fell today, big fluffy flakes falling strait down because there was no wind. So pretty out tonight.🙋🏼♀️🥰
Yes i love it. Amaury saw the design in the cup and used a woodworking terminology for it as he really liked it. Then he made a joke to cover up his interest. 🤣❤🌺🌹🥂
I’m so happy Isabelle is doing well after her surgery and glad you all are home safe. It’s so exciting to see the restoration in progress 😃. I’m looking forward to the next one.
You can also do brussel sprouts in the oven....cut in half, rubbed in olive oil , salt and peppered (carrots and potatoes as well) at 400 degrees for ten minutes or less, everybody’s oven in different , sometimes 8 minutes each side works as well.....same process for kale chips 8 minutes or till crisp.
I do mine roasted on a sheet pan like this, but I don’t like too much crunch left and I like them nice and brown, so I tend to do 15-17 mins at 400! This is an excellent way to roast most any veggies. I’ve done squash like this, though harder squash like butternut sometimes takes much longer.
Lovely to have you all back at Lalande xx 🏰🥰shame we missed Marie xx would be good to have her back permanently and Kat xx pleased Isabelle is doing well after her op xx hope you get some much needed rest Stephanie xx take care all xx🥰🏰🥂
Ah… Thank you SO much for all this joy in a time that we need it even more than in the past 2 years. Even I, here from The Netherlands, am glad to be back at Lalande, if that makes sense. 😂 I love all the between the line jokes between Amaury and Dan, I love what nature does, home grown veggies too and most of all, I love the positive spirit of your channel as I’ve always done. 💛💖💛
I just saw Curtis's video with all the piano playing/singing in Venice. The part where Philip is playing from memory and Stephanie is sitting by his side is so beautiful and loving. Where he met Kat for the first time and then ran to the Water Taxi. Each Vloger there had a little more of the pieces of the puzzle of your lives. 🤣❤🌺🌹🥂
Glad Mummy Isabelle is doing well! I hope her recovery goes smoothly. I also thought perhaps she could keep the eye patch and start a whole new career as the Dread Pirate Maman
I have been homesick for lalalande . I enjoyed all the travel videos but was missing the place. After working 9 hours on a construction site this was the perfect video to come home and watch
You and Philip are just the cutest together, you both have such a beautiful youthful joie de vivre :) I am so happy to know that Mummy was doing well after her surgery, such scary stuff! OMG I screamed when Dan made the joke about him stroking the wood. LOL . You all have such amazing personalities! The peacocks are just insanely beautiful creatures, wow! Another amazing episode, thank you :)
How wonderful to have such a fun cousin as you do in Ollie. The two of you have such a nice back and forth as cousins who are friends often do. I can’t wait to see your new show.
So glad to hear your mummy is doing well after surgery. Love seeing all of you back home and a bonus the sound of Dan's boys chattering away. The joy of children is delightful.
Watching Amaury get excited over the wood was like watching Philip with his new porcelain. 😁 Good to see each appreciate new stock! Heal well Ms Isabel😘
I once read a Barbara Cartland. It was called The Little Adventure. It was hilarious, but one was enough! I bake my brussel sprouts in an oven with olive oil and garlic. They taste delicious, but your version is much faster. Thank you for the video! Have an amazing weekend!
@@herekittykittykitty475 they were tame back in the 70s when I used to read them. Still, a lot of fun, with good descriptions of clothing and appropriate dialogue. Her plots may be predictable, but still good historic fiction.
So exciting to see you all back at home again! Just love seeing the progress of all the beautiful rooms! Bravo on using all those lovely garden-grown brussel sprouts...your dish looked delicious Stephanie and the Spode setting went beautifully with Marie's flowers. Great job Phillip! A perfect Lalande dinner :D
@ Stephanie Jarvis just set a porcelain dish, a piece of wood, and a drone on the table and those 3 men will smile all day lol would be fun to have a camera watching them to see what they do when they see each piece
There's 2 types of people in the work zone: Dan: Carelessly slinging around his wood Amaury (a professional): Carefully and strategically placing his wood You two are seriously the best!
My husband builds fine furniture & he built me a hutch from Sapele wood. It has very random red tones when left natural as one would do. It’s to beautiful to cover with stain. It’s an actual dream wood to work with. Here in the US it’s not less expensive than oak.
I can perfectly understand why you are with your lovely man. He is so hansom with his beautiful eyes and lovely hair! He seems such a lovely person too, just like you! You make such a good couple, and long may you keep together, and keep happy. Love from Devon xxx
So good to see that everybody is in good spirit. Leaving your home for a while makes you appreciate it more when you come back. The world is upside down at the moment but watching your vlogs is always a positive thing. A la prochaine, Brigitte 🌷
I’m so very pleased to hear Mummy’s eye surgery was a success! It’s good to see you all back at LaLande and projects starting again! Amaury’s face was a picture of excitement at the arrival of the wood and I look forward to seeing the progress being made!
I am always excited to see the changes at La Lande and I very much appreciate that you are doing a conscious and appropriate renovation respecting the period of the spaces.
We have a coffee pot that we love the look of and have started using it for water on the table. It's great because it looks so much nicer than the water filter can.
I love the mixture of DIY at the Chateau, the travel and meeting up with friends in different parts of the world. It all comes together in the Chateau Diaries and you Stephanie. Keep it up, there are those of us who are living vicariously through you! Love and prayers to Isabelle.
I like what Amory said, why would he wear a silk robe when he has his birthday suit!!! lololol. I agree with him!! Look at him stroking his wood, dirty Dan!! I love the tapestry wallpaper, its beautiful, I love it.
Oh Stephanie I'm so happy for you mom! As you are aware my son is blind and my daughter who still has some sight. So when miracles happen. Such joy and gratefulness! God bless.
Yes I’m happy for Isabelle as well. My mother lost her left eye at 24 from an explosion in a munitions factory where she worked for the WWII war effort. And unfortunately she lost her vision in her other eye from a blood clot 18 months after my father died. My mother then ended up in a nursing home within 3 months after living fully independently. It was so cruel as my mother cared for my father for 30 or so years through his ill health. Life can be cruel so it’s important to live each day to its fullest extent.
So glad Isabelle is doing well. I have missed the last two premieres. Unfortunately, I have had to place both of my parents into Dementia/Alzheimer's care this week. Watching all the wonderful things going on at the Chateau is cheering me up a bit.
Although nothing can top the good news from Isabelle about the success of her eye surgery, all the action going on at the Chateau is well up there on the excitement and happiness scale. Then there was the added bonus of Dan's priceless comment about Amaury's display of affection for the well-shaped and well-sawn wood stack, followed by a gentle reproach from Stephanie. Ah yes, a good sign that all is back on track at Lalande.
It's so good to see you back at LaLande....it just didn't seem the same with you being away for so long....hope you're going to stay home for some time to come now, as seeing LaLande and the improvements are what I'm waiting for personally. Just happy to see you all!!!!
I think you might need a wok, Steph. Your pan is too full, and a wok will be better for tossing food around. Anyways, glad that renovations are coming along at Lalande and that your Mummy Isabelle is recovering well. Looking forward to your future content, especially with the wood that has arrived. Make sure to film the biscuiting so that us ordinary mortals can see it 😂
I am so happy for Isabel!! All of the projects are so exciting! Dan and Oliver cracked me up! And Amaury caressing the wood! Seriously, the excitement in his eyes and his passion for explaining things are the mark of a French master artisan. Every French master artisan that I have ever met had those same looks and emotions about their craft! The Brussel sprouts pasta looked fab!!
I hope your mother's eye is healing well after surgery! Love the wood and yes I understood the biscuit concept. The traces of Marie were wonderful!😁❤🌺🌹
It is so lovely to have you all back home. You have all become part of my life. You are all so interesting and great to listen too . Thankyou and let spring begin in this very sad world at the moment. Take care 🤗
My!!! What a charmed life you lead Stephanie. You are surrounded by people who love you, good food, and a chateau,,, what more could anyone ever ask for? Your progress is so inspiring! What is so equally wonderful is that you can always look back on these videos you're producing in the future to relive all your experiences all over again! 👍😍👍
Great to see you all home and safe. Just wondering if you could give us an update on the chapel renovations, the china room and Nate’s apartment. Also is Ian the builder still involved in the renovations at La land. Thanks
I had a heart attack every second of when the boys were moving the planks scared the kid would get hit in the head... of course everyone is careful but I'm a mother hen...
Love how Stephanie puts together a meal ! And Phillip sets a beautiful table. Wishing Mummy a speedy recovery!!! So glad everyone stopped vacating !!!!
@@Cenepk101 it definitely is! it’s actually a dream side gig of mine to make coffee table books and museum books. The arrangement of photos and descriptions is just so meditative to me as you are getting as close to the artist as you can! @the chateau diaries I would be more than happy to volunteer to put the books together for you!
Wishing a speedy recovery to Isabelle 🙏🙏. Wonderful to see the updates on the projects back in Lalande! Did you know that soon we will be neighbors? 💕💕
Phillip's Venice book purchase ,with relevant info for redoing the Marquis's apartment , was such a serendipitous coincidence. Listening to 4 hours of a soporific voice reading Barbara Cartland romance...you are both hilarious. Loved the table setting you both created with candles, flowers , napkins and Spode salad servers... Stephanie , I am sure it made your meal taste better
😉Yes, a beautiful table setting definitely aids in both digestion & meal enjoyment 🍽️. 📖 Philip finding that book does seem like ✝️divine providence. 💜Barbara Cartland, but audio books are so distracting. 🛣️On a road trip, I had to 🛑 listening👂to Steve Martin reading his memoir bcos I needed to pay more attention to driving🤣. Love to drive, esp. long distant🚘. My BFF is a better 🗺️navigator & 📻DJ. Our only rule is the driver has entertainment Veto power. Listening to stand-up comedy is great, but 🆕 music can put me right to sleep😴💤. Nothing like a 🎤sing-a-long to keep one alert. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Another HIT video!!! THANK YOU so much for sharing all the fun and exciting places an adventures you've all been up too. You are truly a inspiring women Stephanie!!!
… most enjoyable watching is that, not being as grand a chateau as some of the others, it feels lively and busy around the place, and is so homely… especially the kitchen, and work can be observed being performed and the changes are impressive to see without nonsense talk, talk, talk.
Thinking of your mother, I had four eye surgeries in 7months last year, a macular hole repair in each eye and the resulting need for two cataract surgeries. However all is well now, But seeing your mother with her eye shield on brought it back. Eye surgery these days is a miracle and so successful. Yes the strain of having work done on your only good eye takes a toll. I was so happy to hear of her success and will keep her in my prayers for healing quickly. If empathy counts for anything, she has my full amount! I was very happy to see you back, I felt like I had come home myself. Hugs to everyone and looking forward to more general home activities, conversation and projects.
I'm so happy you're home safe and sound. I've missed seeing you at home. I've been going through bursts of binge watching from the beginning. Thank you for sharing you shining light. 🌹 🤗
A week ago I would have said I'm so jealous of anyone living in Europe and being able to travel to beautiful places as it's a lot easier than to travel to Europe from US. But this week my heart goes out to Ukraine 🇺🇦 and anyone who has family or friends in Ukraine. No one deserves to go through the pain of having to leave their homeland in times of war...

Amory is grinning at the wood like Phillip was smiling at the porcelain. 😍😍☺️
Amaury :)
I burst out laughing when Emery hugged the wood.
Amaury :)
I like Dan's wicked sense of humour and being 'reprimanded' by Stephanie :)
Phillips face when Amaury suggested the dishwasher for the China.😁😁😁
🤣🤣 right.
Especailly since the word "Sling" was also involved.
Thank you for giving us hope the world is still safe and surrounded by love and peace at some places. Thank you dear Stephanie 🤍
Wishing a full recovery to Isabel.
I actually knew what Amaury was describing, biscuit joining. It's quite refined. The men do have some slightly raunchy comments and it's funny. Love watching you cook Stephanie.
I came to the realisation that I've been watching way too much renovation TH-cam, when it actually started to make sense to me too... 😉 lol
I was watching this and thought, “hey, I actually know what biscuiting is! Why the heck do I even know that anyway?”
I know what it is too and my husband didn't.
well they young men
Keep the raunch coming!
Stephanie: You don’t wear silk robes enough.
Amaury: Why would I when I’ve got my birthday suit?
Amen to that!
Amaury caressing the wood cracked me up!
That remark brings lovely images to mind 🤣. Your a lucky lady Natty 😁. Xxx❤️🇬🇧😘😍
I would watch that video! 😜
i personally dont think the robes [even though they silk] are that lovely. so glad he doesnt. but what ever he wears he would look good.
@@jomeyer13 100 Stars robes are viscose, not silk
Stephanie, don't just measure the wall, measure the doors width to be able to get the fridges in‼‼
sorry you missed Marie! Glad Mummy is on the mend! I think we were all worried about her.. Little Dan shouting in the background is priceless!
Being married to a carpenter for over 33 years I knew what Amaury was talking about when he said he would join the wood with biscuits. What ever Amaury makes seems to turn out just beautiful.

So happy to see you back home and on to fun projects! Amaury was hilarious with the wood delivery😁❤
Amaury is a true artisan, can’t wait to see his work finished.
A vlog full of giggles! Flowers by Marie and Stephanie in the kitchen...doesn't get any better than this!
The magic of Lalande is at work: Amurey appreciating porcelain 🤣
@@Pupperski 🤣
Amaury is all about his biscuits!
Yes i love it. Amaury saw the design in the cup and used a woodworking terminology for it as he really liked it. Then he made a joke to cover up his interest. 🤣❤🌺🌹🥂

I do mine in the air fryer same way. I soak them in water for 10 minutes first so they brown but don't shrivel up so much

Amaury looks at wood the way Philip looks at porcelain 😂
And the way Dan looks at the digger!
@Lina Ann Yes, because as we are all taught in school, girls love porcelain, and boys love carpentry. Chaos would ensue if it were any different.
@Lina Ann Gosh I kinda look that way at chocolate so not sure what that makes me!
And they both have artists souls, creative all the way through!
@Lina Ann I love Antique American Pottery, AND do my own woodworking...what does that make me?
FUN, FUN FUN WITH LA LANDE!
Wishing Isobelle full recovery.
HOME SWEET HOME!
THANK YOU!🤩🥰🥳
Ah… Thank you SO much for all this joy in a time that we need it even more than in the past 2 years.

Loved the table setting you both created with candles, flowers , napkins and Spode salad servers... Stephanie , I am sure it made your meal taste better
😉Yes, a beautiful table setting definitely aids in both digestion & meal enjoyment 🍽️.
📖 Philip finding that book does seem like ✝️divine providence.
💜Barbara Cartland, but audio books are so distracting. 🛣️On a road trip, I had to 🛑 listening👂to Steve Martin reading his memoir bcos I needed to pay more attention to driving🤣.
Love to drive, esp. long distant🚘. My BFF is a better 🗺️navigator & 📻DJ. Our only rule is the driver has entertainment Veto power. Listening to stand-up comedy is great, but 🆕 music can put me right to sleep😴💤. Nothing like a 🎤sing-a-long to keep one alert.

Yes! There’s no place like home or Brussel sprouts straight from the garden! 😊
Glad to know Isabel's surgery was successful. Best wishes to her. And happy that all are safely back at LaLande.
Another lovely vlog. Great to see projects getting started. Love that you share so much with us ❣️
The flowers are so beautiful Marie is soooo talented !
Another HIT video!!! THANK YOU so much for sharing all the fun and exciting places an adventures you've all been up too. You are truly a inspiring women Stephanie!!!
… most enjoyable watching is that, not being as grand a chateau as some of the others, it feels lively and busy around the place, and is so homely… especially the kitchen, and work can be observed being performed and the changes are impressive to see without nonsense talk, talk, talk.
Thinking of your mother, I had four eye surgeries in 7months last year, a macular hole repair in each eye and the resulting need for two cataract surgeries. However all is well now, But seeing your mother with her eye shield on brought it back. Eye surgery these days is a miracle and so successful. Yes the strain of having work done on your only good eye takes a toll. I was so happy to hear of her success and will keep her in my prayers for healing quickly. If empathy counts for anything, she has my full amount! I was very happy to see you back, I felt like I had come home myself. Hugs to everyone and looking forward to more general home activities, conversation and projects.
So glad to hear your mother's surgery went well and you're home. Cheers to Sabine & Dave for holding down the chateau.
Sabine went to Venice.🤣❤🌺🌹🥂
All the worlds love to Isabelle!
It’s so delightful to see the pear trees budding and the peahens thriving 💕
What has happened to Nate’s apartment? Is it still being built?
I'm so happy you're home safe and sound. I've missed seeing you at home. I've been going through bursts of binge watching from the beginning. Thank you for sharing you shining light. 🌹 🤗
I see more selves being put up for the new 12 Person place setting .New and Gorgeous!!
This is fabulous. Like the good old days, excitement in very turn.
A week ago I would have said I'm so jealous of anyone living in Europe and being able to travel to beautiful places as it's a lot easier than to travel to Europe from US. But this week my heart goes out to Ukraine 🇺🇦 and anyone who has family or friends in Ukraine. No one deserves to go through the pain of having to leave their homeland in times of war...
❤️❤️❤️
Nothing better than a Chateau Diary video with lots of double entendre from Amaury and Dan.
