I believe he was offered an apartment , but it involved stairs. Selmar told Stephanie that Diesel, being a senior dog doesn't do well with stairs. No doubt Selmar will get his own apartment, but like anything else, Rome wasn't built in a day. There are many outbuildings on the property and I'm sure Selmar has his eyes on at least one. I think I know which one? :-)

Ian and his helpers did so much in Nattie's future apartment, Selmar building the compost sections and Dan planting and maintaining your gardens.

@michellezevenaar 3 года назад

@@caropapa I wouldn't go for glamping site because it requires alot of investment. I would just make a bathroom thats acceptable from the outside of the chateau and a cleared space with maybe a small safe fire pit and a pick nick table. Half the fun of camping is building the camp up yourself. There's a RU-vidr channel called the outdoor boys that is a great example of how fun it is for kids to just be in nature and build your own shelter. It really is hard in most of Europe to find a wooded area to camp. Most camp sites are a huge field with lots of other people camping and very little privacy. Also having the camp site close to an accommodation were you could safely spend the night if the weather suddenly changes would be great!

I would definitely echo Dan's concern about the backberries going crazy, but not in the way Stephanie hopes I think! We have raspberries & blackberries here (& in Canada the winter get quite a bit colder - they still manage to survive!) and the suckers they send out have tried to stage a hostile takeover of certain areas of the garden. Luckily ours are contained by cement, but in vegetable beds with no barriers there's definitely a danger of them taking over the entire bed 😬

I live in California and we have been devastated by wild fires (like it affected everyone I know which has never happened in 35 years) but some people say that part of the issue with the wildfires is that because the land and forest aren’t properly maintained and cleared, the risk for wildfires is so much greater.

Honestly Philip is one of the most talented young men I've ever known of. Sometimes it seems there is almost nothing he can't do!

It has been inspiring to watch the progress that has been made over the last year. You now approach another lockdown and no wonder people have decided to pass the lockdown at La Lande. I can't think of a better place to while away a few weeks. A year just over since I found your channel. I love the community that has been created and the cameraderie between you.

That old fireplace looks like it might be from the "Régence" period, when the changeover between Louis XIV and XV happened.

I so look forward to seeing these shows and what is happen there. They inspire and uplift with the wonder history and amazing people that are there. Thank you all for sharing with us!!

So excited to see the final decision for the fireplace mantel in your remodeled boudoir Stephanie. Someone to care for the woodlands is such a wonderful idea and the sale of the wood will help to offset the cost of having him care for it. It will turn into a fairy wonderland with picnic areas, safe and well maintained walking paths and benefits for the wildlife,trees and woodland plants.🌲🌿🥀

I love the little place cards for Easter! It's so good to see all of the projects that are going on around the house and now the woods as well. Over the next few years you really could have a lovely walking path going around and through different parts of the woods. Phillip might even run into some hedgehogs! Much love to everyone.

Stephanie I am watching some of your old videos and looking at the chapel here and how it looks here and what the restorers have done to date is absolutely mind blowing and what you have done to achieve to get the funds to do the restoration is fantastic. The Marquis family I think must be very honoured and proud of what you have done, besides you mom, Percy and all your viewers who think you have done an astounding job of it all to bring it back to life. Thank you for sharing with us the wonderful journey of your Chateau, Chapel and family/friends life. Have a lovely day.
