SPRING CLEANING THE CHATEAU! 

My thoughts exactly! 🐝

Bees are just setting up a way station between the area they are suppose to be at and where they want to be. They got such little wings to get around on. Must be tiring.

@@toddekstrom7963 Oh, is that true?

It's about the right time of year for bees to swarm, and if the bee man hasn't been giving the hives room to expand, they're going to see more than one swarm!

Are they honey bees? She can harvest the honey!

😀

bringing with them lots of pastries!

That is the most hilarious comment and so true!

I was just thinking the same.

She is, full of energy and eager to help Lalande while "Mummy" is away. Yeah!

It is lovely to see Jenny at the Chateau. Dinner look delicious. There is so many things happening at Lalande. Hope all is well with Phillip's family and yes it will be interesting to see the clothes he brings back. Safe trip Phillip

Yes just loving her

@@user-ygt5567u maybe it's just bees collecting something from the tree also and not a hive. I have this in the Med and it can be soooo many bees visiting throughout the day but there are simply shopping for their daily groceries and then go home some to wherever they live. :-)

Hopefully he will return

I’m from Ontario! 😁

I hope so. All the Lalanders seem to have a special touch to bring to different aspects of the chateau and chateau life! 😊

we will try that!! thanks Rose

I know some people use a painted wooden egg for the same reason.

I date my newly laid eggs with a date in pencil

My sister just leaves a golf ball 🤔

Lol, we tried a table tennis ball, a stone, a golf ball (because the hen pecked and rolled the lighter ball away) the hen saw the “egg” as foreign, that’s why we just left one of her own...”clever” hen kept coming back each day to lay more, same place 😀

Why I love to watch cleaning vlogs.

I was going to say the same thing! Lol

They would be lovely potted up with flowers, displayed in the fountain garden..

I want to go just to have my hair done by her!!! ;-)

Ditto patrons!

Canada covers 9,984,670 km2 (3,855,100 sq mi) and a panoply of various geoclimatic regions. Here in the South Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada: it is mild and beautiful; so not all of Canada is in a deep freeze! :)))

Here on Vancouver Island, Canada it is very mild and a lovely day. We only had about 10cm of snow where I am all winter, and it lasted only a day.. 🙂

@Shelley Poole. Small world!!

I’m from Ontario. We get a winter here but this year not too harsh.

🤣😂I agree!🥰

So much action, don't forget the footage of the rest of the Ians

Perhaps it has not been featured here on youtube?

Yes! I would love to see his adorable face and hear his cheeky voice to know if he is well. Good luck Phillip, sorry for your difficulty.

We MISS YOU, SCOTMAN!!! 🙏🏻💗❣️💗🙏🏻

Let’s all get together and buy him a trampoline.

@@toddekstrom7963 ha!!

Same ! I only have a tiny terrace with just 2 hours of direct sun during the spring and summer. But you better believe I make the most of it and I did grow a few veggies last year. What do you grow in your garden ?

@@kinou_clem__6366 I have about 3 acres so I grow alittle bit of everything vegetable wise. I am experimenting with creating a cut flower garden this year so that probably what I am most excited for!

@@arlenaroche4960 wow that is amazing! I know one day I will have a big garden like yours. It is definitely a dream I want to make a reality. Do you live in Europe ?

Our snow is finally starting to melt. So lovely to see spring elsewhere! ♥️

Nice to know

I agree. Safe travels Phillip and hope all turns out well at home and I look forward to your return.

Hahaha! 😂

Lol

Good one! Hahaha

Another apartment can be rented out.

🥰SO TRUE!!🥰

Safe travels Philip and pray all is okay with family.

Yay! I'm happy for you, I felt the same way when I joined. Really, for a minimum of $5 a month, you get 4 to 5 extra full pieces of content. Like the price of a coffee. More than reasonably priced, by a margin. I know that money on Patreon goes toward renovations but honestly I'd be more than happy whatever Jarvis did with the money, because she's working hard. It's her work, blood, sweat, and tears, plenty of reason just like anybody else to make an honest living whether it's for a historic building or just their life and days. Anyway. You've got so much new footage to watch now! Exciting

@@BlackDino468 Thank you! That’s true, and it adds so much joy into my life, it is more than well worth the money. Being French I am also very glad I can help restore such a beautiful piece of the history of my country. I do have a lot of footage to watch but I have been very naughty the last two days and I have already watched a lot of the videos ...

@@kinou_clem__6366 Oh definitely, I can see the French connection would carry the personal meaning. I think I'd feel the same. I hope you go and make a visit, and we see you in the vlog! :D It would actually be really to cool hear what a French person thinks seeing all the activity and English spin. Did you watch that French TV show where Lalande won the bed and breakfast competition? I don't think we're able to see it easily outside of France xx

@@BlackDino468 I actually would love to go in July to help for 2 weeks. I’m a pastry cook and chocolate maker, I’ve also worked as a cook and love to garden. But I’m not sure they need any more people this summer. I still have to send a mail to Nati. I have not seen the French TV show because I’ve been living in Brussels (same city as Nick, Marie and Antoine) for a few years. And I don’t actually have a TV. Are you planning to go to the chateau someday ?

​@@kinou_clem__6366 oh. my. gosh. That would be so cool for them to have you, and that you're a fan who actually makes pastry and chocolate. That's like a match made in heaven....Lalande could have some chocolate making vlogs, which of course would be wonderful. I will say, as you are a chocolate maker, I used to live in Puerto Viejo in Costa Rica (my #1 place in the world to live, and I traveled for 10 years, so that's saying something). And Puerto Viejo is slowly building their Chocolate Festival, focusing on full bean-to-bar chocolate making. Talamanca chocolate will be world-famous, some day I believe, and it's all due to a really wonderful and specifically humble man from the American midwest who recognized all the wonderful knowledge of the indigenous from generational chocolate plantations being LOST (rumor has it chiquita banana company brought a fungi to kill the chocolate trees in early 1900s, to buy out the plantations for bananas cheap). He PAID the indigenous for their invaluable knowledge to help rebuild and work his plantation, to rebuild their own plantations, paid better than any other agricultural job in the region, he knew they were valuable and needed to be compensated for the future. He leant 5 other families his $10k and $20k pieces of chocolate making equipment that they'd never have otherwise, just to grow the industry and make sure he had competitors, and the knowledge of chocolate plantations in Talamanca wouldn't be lost. I've worked in one of the buildings with this man, he is not focused on being rich, he is focused on enriching where he lives and on enriching the lives of the people where he lives. They even do chocolate crawl with maps during the festival, where you get a map and go around to each and every chocolate maker....it gave so many local families jobs. All the kids make skits to perform dances during the festival. Truly a wonderful thing, and I love how he wasn't afraid to embrace competition....he deliberately built it, knowing it would better his town and region. I really hope you check it out some day as a chocolate maker. It's the spirit of the chocolate tree. Bean-to-bar is really important since only about ~1% of chocolate makers are bean-to-bar or even see the farms of where they buy their beans. Puerto Viejo has chocolate tours throughout the year, too. Very fun, with chocolate flavor mixings with spice. Also, the band Sublime actually wrote some of their songs for one of their last albums while there, if you can catch them talking about Costa Rica in some of the lyrics...it's Puerto Viejo! Puerto Viejo is one of the only fully Caribeno places in CR, everything else is largely Spanish heritage, now being overtaken by Americanism. It's an interesting vibe in the town. I would like to go to the chateau some day, maybe even June as a chambre dote guest? We'll see how flights are allowed into France at that time? (Sorry for the long reply, I felt it was a perfect time to talk about Talamanca!)

What has happened to Phillip

I thought Philip was staying for longer! Oh, Philip had a family matter to attend to. He will be back in a week! 😊😊🤗🤗🤗🐝🐝🐝

I’m glad he be coming back ,have a safe journey Phillip and hope what ever it is be ok 🙏

@@valeriejohnson5283 I’m glad he be coming back

Yes, he adds so much to each video.

What a wonderful idea! Yes Stephanie please do! We all would love to see and hear Gerald!😍🥀🥀🥀

And Mummy! We miss them all as if they were our own relatives and friends!

I always remind my self in fall that it's time to enjoy all sorts of winter foods like hot chocolate! That helps winter feel more like a happy time of year.

Given it was 37 degrees on Sunday Feb 28 in SE Qld, summer still a bit of sting yet 😎

@@christinesavage4837 in Perth we had a months worth of rain in about an hour. It went from 32 and sunny to grey and 18 for about 2 days.

And cheese, while Phillip is away.

😢I’m so sorry for your loss!💕
