I'm Gwenda( David is my son.) in Mobile,Alabama,USA. Selmar you are the Pied-Piper of LaLande and all of us!! Everyone loves you !!! This is so enjoyable and relaxing !!! The Lord bless you !!
Dear Selmar, this video was beautiful! I loved all the sounds of nature. I find it so touching that you take such a good care of all the animals. The chicken on your head was just adorable! I am especially happy for Ruby, who found such amazing friends in you and Diesel. He was so neglected and needed taking care of. You have such a big heart, Selmar. We all adore you.
Lovely walk, Selmar! Thank you for inviting us to join you! I loved the chicken on your head, the birds singing, the magnificent Thor! And the rainbows were incredible! Always a thrill to my heart, the seal of God's promise so many years ago! Like many others I discovered you and all the rest of the La Landers while very weak and sick from the Covid virus. I cannot tell you how you all have helped me through this very difficult time! My heart was touched to tears as I watched you carry and place the dear little Lord Jesus into His place in the Nativity scene in the Chapel. I saw His love in your hands and your face. He really doesn't want "religion" from us, He desires our love in thankfulness for all the Love He has shown us especially at Calvary! No love and grace like His, ever! My paternal Grandparents came to the USA from Holland and I have all my life wanted to go visit there. So I have enjoyed seeing you and Philip! Some times I have thought that it would be quite amazing if we were distant cousins! I believe my Grandfather came from Amsterdam, and my Grandmother from Friesland. Well, Thank you again for sharing a vlog that is beautiful and wholesome and we don't have to worry about what might be shown on it! The Lord bless you! Greetings, from Mary from Walla Walla, Washington! (That's a fun one to say isn't it?! It's a Native term for the place of many waters. Our little town has many little creeks and rivers that flow down from the Blue Mountains here in south eastern Washington State. A beautiful little town, but I am learning that France is in many ways very similar, and just as lovely! )
Thank you, Selmar, for the lovely morning tour of LaLande. So peaceful and we get to see the progress. LaLande truly is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You are a blessing for Stephanie. Hugs from Washington State, USA
From South Africa.. What a wonderful, peaceful, serene, enchanting video.. Can I ask.. As an avid World War 2 historian.. What happened to Leland during the aNazi Occupation of France.. There must be amazing history there.. Oh yes.. Anyone who has patience to allow a hen to sit on his head, is absolutely amazing...
Isn't Thor absolutely magnificent?! You have him trained Selmar to show some fancy footwork and delight us with his show! The double rainbow was so special and I loved seeing the farm next door with the beautiful horses and the walk about the woods at the Chapel. Wishing you and everyone at La Lande a Happy Spring! Please give our love and get well wishes to Steph!
I have the biggest smile on my face. Selmar, that sweet wee chicken sure loves you. Seeing her pop up over your head was so adorable! I have to go watch that again. You made my day that much brighter. Thank you!
All the animals adore you Selmar. Even THOR!! AMAZING he does all that for you! This is my favorite video so far. It looks like there is a lot of work that needs done in those woods.
Selmar, Thor is asking you for your approval, he is saying " Selmar is this good enough, what do you think"? "Thank you for the treat, that must be a yes" !!!
Hoping to see more Ian’s later in the year. Beautiful video. You’re such a beautiful man Selmar, who loves and lives side by side with nature . Peace and love to you .
Such a lovely vlog Selmar it’s so nice to see Lalande and the bird and furry family life The chateau woodland just alive with new growth welcoming Spring enough wood for building wood for burning Lalande is self sufficient.Love your outings Selmar I feel I know the chateau grounds views around and finally the perfect ending your master bonfires a warm welcome to laugh sing and share marshmallows love love Selmar hugs to dear Diesel and Ruby😍❤️🥰👏👏
Your video has brightened my day. Thor’s beautiful dance, Ruby chattering to you, birdsong and rainbows. I think you have found paradise! Thank you for sharing Springtime in France! ❤️
Selmar and his chicken ornament in his hair was wonderful & I laughed so hard. Selmar is the Dr. Doolittle of LaLande or probably anywhere he lives. What a great video. Dank je.
I love how Ruby has moved in. Do you ever see the black cat anymore? Funny story, I was watching the vlog the day you saw the black cat coming into your work area, my black cat had just walk out of my studio. She is a duplicate of that cat & even sounds like it. When your black cat left your work space, my black cat came back into my studio in the U.S. I guess she has found a magic door to la Lande! Lucky cat, I must find that door.
Selmar, it seems like you are home! I can feel the love you have for La Lande! I love the way you feel nature, the way you feel the universe! The way you respect and love the animals is incredible!
Selmar I love your respect for animals ❤️ The chicken in front of you with the hat reminds me of a comedian named Phyllis Diller.(RIP). You could name her Phyllis.
During this time of being at home for so many of us still, this was such a beautiful treat, the birds singing, the double rainbow, the chickens and Thor in all his glory, the beautiful countryside too. Thank you Selmar for sharing your walk with us. 😘 the white bird was a beautiful Egret. He should be around for you since he found his spot. 😘
I feel as if I traveled to La Lande and met all your little friends and seen the lovely countryside. I love how Ruby and Diesel walk with you everywhere. Thanks for inviting me into your world! 🌸🌱😃🐦🐾
The peacock is amazing....also Diesel and Ruby - now we need to see you with your Lavender chicken...enjoyed this so much...you have such a gentle spirit Selmar....a good person ! Thank you for this relaxing video...
Selmar, thank you so much for sharing your morning walk. The chicken on your head had me in stitches 🤣. Thor is amazing. I love how Ruby follows and speaks to you. Diesel telling you it is breakfast time. The double rainbow, magical. Flowers and the voice of the stream, beautiful. Peace and love from central California ❤
What a magical place La Lande is! You are so fortunate to be able to live in such a place and also to have the camper to explore other spots as well. I think one of the reasons that I enjoy your vlogs so much is how your gentle, calm, kind manner comes across. Even the animals pick up on that and enjoy your company too.
Dear Selmar, Thank you for these long slow shots of the scenery. It helps to feel like I am there and provides relief from being homebound in San Francisco, California. I also appreciate your unhurried gentle kindness with the animals. It is a metaphoric example of how we can all do this in life.
I assume it is Thors matting ritual. I have never seen a full dance or display as this so beautiful. In the end of his dance the way his tail feathers which gathered gradually was amazing to behold . You were very lucky to capture this. I think it’s a way of thanking you for taking care of his family so well. I enjoyed watching how Ruby has settled in with you and feels at home finally no more the wanderer it’s so cute to see them both follow you on the walk. It’s very rare to see a cat follow a person on a walk. There are so sweet. Thank you for taking us around it was 🦚enjoyable. Have a great weekend🌈🇨🇦
Oh Selmar! Thank you for this video - the two new chicks free in the yard, the one in your hair, the walk in the woods. watching Ruby walk and talk with you, Diesel interested in his "own thing", the chance to really notice, really see Nature coming back to us, in spite of Covid, in spite of all, the gift of your patience in observing each and every branch, flower and bird,. Through your patient manner, we see and understand what we otherwise would not. May God bless you and keep you. Patricia
Thank you so much for this extra special video, Selmar! It was just what this city girl needed tonight. There were so many treats...the beautiful rainbow, the chickens, Ruby and Diesel, the sound of the birds and rooster in the background and the heron in the lake and Thor’s working his stuff all for one little “crunchy “! PERFECT! 😎
Thank you Salmar 😊 it was a very interesting and enjoyable vlog, the animals definitely love you for sure. The white bird looks like it maybe a Heron. Love & peace to you. Take care until next time. Xx
Thor is so beautiful! His radiant dance for all to see is just the most brilliant. Think he knew all you said. Then he actually came to eat out of your hand! Cannot get over how tame they all really are and they are so used to you. They love you. Two rainbows should bring good luck! A pot of Gold was at the end of that one! Love the chickens, especially the furry feathered ones. * on your head lol* The chicken even wore his hat! The land is lovely, and soon flowers will be up too! The horses were so sweet * The Black color truly stood out* and think they were young? Diesal and Ruby are doing well together. Am so glad Ruby came to live at La Land too. Animals know if you care about them. They certainly do know you care alot for them! Thank you Selmar for this Vlog!
Dear Selmar Duin ... I have never met you - but, the way all animals behave around you tells me that I am right to think you are a special soul ... animals always know. I so enjoyed this tranquil video ... a couple of minutes in your company is always rewarding. Thank you for being you x
Really lovely to see and hear the sounds of spring. We are still in winter here, so green is still a bit away . It is a blessing LaLande has you, to appreciate and love all the animals and the land. Thank you Selmar💜
Your right the creek has a nice voice. A running creek is a lovely sound. For a while it sounded like Ruby was going to walk through the woods with you.
Hi Selmar, great fun video. The bird is a could also be a Great Egret or white Crane they are loners. They breed and leave. Wouldn’t it be great to have Swans on the lake someday wow! Thanks for the video
Thank you Selmar that was lovely , the peacock is so beautiful, love Ruby and Diesel coming on your walk , you certainly have a way with all animals especially the little chickens xxx
