Hello everyone! To all of you who are wondering what happened to today's Live from Lalande, we had MASSIVE technical issues, ending in a glitch which wouldn't let me end the live chat. The only way to stop it was to delete it - I've explained it all here ru-vid.comcommunity I'm so sorry about it, I hated having to delete the chat itself, which Mummy and I managed to do for about 45 minutes before things went wrong. Thank you all for asking about it and caring x
Thank you, so much Stephanie! Enjoy your channel. Your mother is an amazing person ( as are you). I have said before she is an inspiration. I am in my 60’s and hope I can live a full, active life as she does. You are a gracious and informative hostess! Thank you, thank you!!
I was thoroughly enjoying this chat before the buffering started. I’m looking forward to seeing the next live and all the lovely regular and new members of the community 🍀👍🏻😁💜🧡
Always happy to watch the VLOGs of Lalande, but I fancy an episode called SELMAR'S DAY AT LALANDE seeing him and Diesel wake up and, like Stephanie, film the view from his window, checking up on the Ians and Crot Crot, having coffee in the kitchen with Stephanie, Marie, and Isabelle and then doing some hard work in the garden, ending the day with tea and a nice chateau meal or fiest. Perhaps there are others who would like to see the day at Lalande from Selmar's point of view?
Exactly! when I see Thomas on the piano, I was say so loud in my house, - what?! 🤣 Thomas you are amazing🤩🤩🤩 I think you will surprise us again again and again👍👍👍
Melanie Hartness...and Tomaz can sing and has a history of dance when he was younger...His Mother is an artist/painter and he said he grew up in her studio and he can paint.
@@TomazQuaresma hello Tomaz👋(the decorator, masseur, esthéticienne, hairdresser, dancer, pianist, and artist) you're an Angel transported to Lalande. You are really a joy to everyone. So happy to see you with your talents and energy in transforming rooms are amazing 😍👍Keep up the good work 🤗 Your parents must be very proud for having a son like you. Take care and take good care of all the lovely people in Lalande 💋💋💋Cheers 💝
I LOVE watching Selmar try to figure out how to use the ring, while wearing his headlamp. Tell the guys, the ring works best if worn on your middle or ring finger, with the opener facing palm side down. Cup hand over top of bottle cap and lever down. Good luck!
Laurel Smitter Oh dear I was cracking up while Selmar was trying to use the opener ring although I was worried he might cut his finger on the bottle cap. They are great when you know how to use them though.
Laurel Smitter YES I was hoping someone would instruct in the use..I just love watching these vlogs Best prozac in the world..This is what real TV is, not all the scripted stuff. I love all of these people for their authenticity ...Glad for you Selmar that you got instructions ..I love watching you and Diesel..Mummy you looked a little worried tonight I guess technology does worry us when it goes wrong, and as for Thomas wow he is a man of many talents..I do miss Michael Petherick at La Lande....Thank you all
I wonder if mommy ever knew the possibility that she would soon become the ' mommy ' of 80,000 People hahhaha lovely video, i feel as if im there opening them up with you all!
These Lalande vlogs get better and better each week, and the song at the end with Stephanie's lovely voice and Tomas' piano-playing....that was the icing on the cake. The person who composed the musical piece is truly gifted.
My goodness Tomas can play the piano beautifully...we are all very impressed with this young man...goes without saying Stephanie that your voice is angelic 💗...Yasmine😃
Please, Please, never lose Tomaz the Treasure....what next will he do to surprise!? In fact EveryONE there....all so wonderful....so perfect to see everyone enjoying this time together - that I actually had to watch it twice; not wishing to miss anything. We look forward to Marie's flower decorating soon as well. Now you have completed the "soiree" in the afternoon with Lynn's nursery rhyme song...surely now your theme song- joie de vivre absolutement Stephanie! thank you all....xoxo♥ love from Canada.
It seems that mummy is very popular. I've noticed in the comments that alot of people admire her. It''s as tho lots of people are missing their mummy, or never had one that was like a real mummy. She always guards to keep Stephanie on the straight and narrow. Imagine that for a job. Ha Ha! I just love her myself by the way. Love everyone so far at LaLande am so glad I found you.
Stephanie, you are truly blessed to have a mother as precious as yours! She reminds me of my mother, gracious, beautiful, kind, and has a tremendous “green thumb”! I love how bubbly you are and how truly excited you are to receive anything from a tiny tea bag to a Spode plate! Thank you to everyone at LaLande. I feel like you’re extended family that I’ve never met. Bless you all!
A most wonderful vlog today. My mood is so much better after watching all of you. And the performance at the end was so uplifting. Thanks again for helping us get through this endless lockdown.
Stephanie, please do not be worried about not getting a vlog out more. You do more already than most blogs who have great numbers. We love all you do. We can wait a week easy. Please rest & enjoy each day only doing what you can. No worries.
Oooo, those martini glasses are reminding me of peacock tail feathers.... And that piece of filet crochet for a tea tray, [flip it around, it was upside down], had a lovely tea kettle in the center.
Not to worry! We are loyal fans and understand technical difficulties all too well ourselves and also that you live far away from the proper towers/satellites!
I smiled my way through this thoroughly entertaining video. Such fun to see everyone together, enjoying the treats that people have so kindly sent. This is a remarkable and inclusive channel so beautifully curated by Stephanie - it is like no other RU-vid space I have found. Perhaps because it grew in strength during the duress of lockdown, we are all particularly invested in the world we have come to cherish.
After over a week of very difficult days, which are still ongoing, I so very much looked forward to this episode of 'Cadeaux avec le Chateau', and was not disappointed. Such fun, banter, excitement, and happiness! It is inspiring, and helps to lift ones spirit. Thank you so much for sharing your good times with us.
When Selma r gets his peacock jacket back it would be lovely to see him enjoying a martini in the new peacock martini glass on the patio surrounded by the pea chicks! He deserves a special martini for all the care he has been giving the babies. Anyone have a great martini recipe to suit the occasion?
I look forward to seeing the opening of gifts and it makes me happy to see all of you so full of joy. I wish I could add to that fun but being a senior on fixed income and the cost of sending from the US isn't feasible. Someday I'd like to send a small watercolor painting made by me to help fill your miles of walls 😊. Take care, stay safe! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am glad you enjoyed the crocheted doilies that Lady sent you. I make those too and I know there are hundreds of hours of work there. The square doily with the teapor is called fillet crochet hence the name on her card.
Sorry, this is off-topic; but for everyone in my boat who hates to see any negativity or bullying in the comments... I have an idea. From now on instead of engaging, maybe we can do our own volunteering from afar by reporting the trolls so those comments get removed? Obviously, constructive & kind criticism is ok... everyone has a right to their opinion, but I simply cannot stand when things turn into full-on attacks/bullying. This is such a lovely community of kind, generous, thoughtful artists and dreamers. I won't stand for that type of behavior towards you all! Other RU-vidrs even employ people to report/delete harassment, so why not help out Stephanie from afar and report it for her? (for anyone wondering how, just click the three dots on the right!) SO. To any meanies left (which luckily there are few): Be sure that if you call anyone here a rude name or just generally bully people for no reason again, I *will* be reporting you! So don't waste your time.😚 PHEW that turned into a novel-- I'll get off my soapbox now. Haha! Back to dreamy Lalande! 😍
Bravo Tomaz on the piano, another talent revealed. I am beginning to think there are 3 primary things needed in order to restore a Chateau. Tea, Champagne, and Chocolate.
I needed this SO bad today. Had a truly rotten day, and to see the joy in the faces of these beautiful, gracious angels just blesses me to know that there is such beauty in the world. I'm so excited. I'm making something very special for you and Isabelle, and can't wait to send it. Love to the lovely LaLanders!
I love to watch the numbers of subscribers going up and up with each week. 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻. Thoroughly deserved so everyone must always remember to click the like 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 and help the channel out 🙏🏻⭐️⭐️🧡🧡🌸🌸
A lot more laughs and very generous subscribers... fun for us all - but hold on tight to that hat Isabelle, it looks fabulous on you and I bet, like me, a lot of us would like to steal it! So good to see someone was also spot-on with the perfect head wear for Selmar, great to wear with his work boots, not his 'Japanese Safety Boots' (thongs)! Loved the ending... fantastic! 🦘💗
The scene where Selmar is trying to open the beer with the ring then Mommy said, Isabelle: Pls mind the sofa (sighs) Hahahaha! The look on her face 😂 with a deep sigh. More power to all of you at Chateau de Lalande! Lots of love from the 🇵🇭
I'm so glad I found this channel. It brings me such happiness to see you all so happy, despite inevitable life problems, and just enjoying everything you have and encouraging each other to excel.
13 kilos?? That package must have been so expensive to ship, not to mention all the lovely contents!! 🙂 So many lovely gifts, and I think Antoine will be amazed, when he comes back, and gets all his presents 😂
Every episode I love more than the last!! What lovely people to share a virtual afternoon with!! And Lynn’s beautiful piece of music and lyrics were fabulously presented!! You are all treasures!!
Dearest Stephanie,Please don't let the vlogs take over your real life with the Lalanders .The technology problems are just a reality that happens.Your quality time should not be taken over by others.We enjoy whatever and whenever you vlog!No worries!
My husband says, "Can we go there?" You are just having too much fun! Thankyou for bringing such laughter and fun into our Covidian lives! Cheers Sandy & Andy
Such a fun video felt so festive. You all are very gracious so its lovely to see you treated to so many lovely things. Michael Potts is so handsome. He has a wonderful smile. Please let him know.
Looking forward to seeing what comes from the packages. More than few times, it’s inspired me to get the same for my own home. And anyone who lives in a rural area is very aware that internet is not guaranteed-adds to the charm of the videos to experience real life in the chateau.
Such fun! I’m in awe of the wonderfully talented people who gravitate to La Lande. Tomaz is the latest - so multi talented. Thank you for brightening my morning here in Australia
Hi. I personally enjoyed the tine I had with you two. Bad connection and all. Life happens. I live in the wood, is a log home, it’s wonderful. But.....reception can be iffy . When kids and family come they add about 14 devices to our 4 . Challenging. So no problem here. But I’m just one in 80,000. 🥰💕💕
Is there anything Tomas cannot do? Lovely lovely lovely! I'm so happy that people are so generous and kind and that we all get to share in the joy of your gifts.
Hi Everyone, I love the gift opening! People are so creative with their gifts! I’m thinking of something interesting to send you from my corner of the world. Stephanie-you’re an amazing singer! So talented in many ways! Your videos really lift me daily! Debbie from Delaware🇺🇸
I love that we all get such enjoyment out of the thoughtfulness of people from all over the world and at the appreciation and delight of the people of La Lande. I’m thinking of the same, I wonder what I can send to them from my corner of the world.
The best show ever. Love the song. Thank you, thank you Lady Stephanie for making my day wonderful with your intertainment. My thanks to everyone. Much love Lady Stephanie, God bless you all.
Hi Stephane and friends, thank you so much for opening these gifts with us. I got home today feeling a bit tired . The world is a bit convoluted these days and your videos, your positivity, your friends and family make me laugh and relax. Bravo Thomas!!! that duo at the end was amazing!! much love to you all !!
Awww, the gifts are wonderful, my family is in town so I am late. You all are making me laugh, it is so needed at this Corvid time You all are a ray of 🌞 sunshine. Have a blessed week!!!
Stephanie, What a “treat” it was spending this evening watching you, family & friends open gifts!!... 🎁 🎁 🎁!!! ... I felt like I was right there with you, just waiting to see what the next gift (surprise) would be 😃❣️You made it so much fun❣️💝🎁👑, Best Wishes. 💟 ☦️ Cindy /Westminster, Ca, USA
What a wonderful episode! This is better than Christmas! So much joy and happiness you are sharing with all of us. Tomaz is a man of many talents, he's a keeper to add to the clan.
I know some people like the gift videos and some do not. To those who don't, please understand that sending a gift to the folks at the chateau allows people to express their appreciation for the "window into another world" at a time when it is sorely needed. It also gives me great ideas for gifts to send to people I can't be with right now. ❤️😔
Mummy is missing Percy. I can see it in her eyes... she works so hard at the Chateau and supports Stephanie so brilliantly. I pray Isabele you are reunited soon with Percy. ❤❤
