I hope you get a picture in the autographs of all the new workers who touched the chapel to help restore it. It would be lovely to have their photos and autographs for anyone wanting to know who helped. For your records they’ve done such a wonderful job.
I think Stephanie will have a journal for future generations and clearly outline all the people that helped restore it. It's a living museum.
Great idea, create a book for the chapel as well as the château
And for each artisan who helped in this effort. Meticulous attention to details
Kinda wish I knew this type of work existed while I was a student studying decorative design
Yes - hope so!
Well there are a few youtube videos…..
The chapel looks amazing being restored to its former glory it is a work of art so beautiful. The Marquis chose well when he chose you Stephanie to be the owner and custodian of Chateau de Lalande. i’m sure he’s smiling down upon you and I’m sure he had a hand in bringing all these people to support you in the restoration.💝🌈🇨🇦
The weak point to the chook house is where wire/steel fence meets ground. As sure as the sun rising, Mr Fox will dig under it if not buried correctly.
Welcome back, Pavlina. You bring something very special to Lalande. I hope you stay!
I agree with that
The chapel looks amazing. I am glad that so many people contributed to make the restoration possible. Very happy to see Pavlina back at the chateau.
Davey is a genius with landscaping.
Not sure it is correct to plant trees with metal cages and burlap left on.
I am so happy to see Pavlina back home. The flowers in all the gardens are really taking off. They are just beautiful.
The chapel looks so beautiful! What a huge effort by EVERYONE involved, to snatch this little jewel box back from the jaws of destruction is a measure of the strength of this community.
What is that peace Sign Jesus always makes?
My goodness, the Death of St Joseph looks amazing! So glad the chapel has been restored and saved.
i'm sure this has been said before but may i reiterate how thankful for all the donations to this restoration. i am very moved at the change and the excitment waiting for the work to be finallized. thank you.
So good Grant having a real Aussie burger. Of course you have beetroot.
Yes yes YES!💪🏻💪🏻🇦🇺
Agree 100%.
It’s not a burger without beetroot. Can pass on the pineapple though.🤣
@@eleniantoniou534 Yes I am happy to give Golden Circle a miss.
Oh going to try it next burger time. Sounds yummy❤ 🏴 x
Steph, you and all your family, can be proud of the legacy you've preserved in the Chapel.
That coat of yours looks so good in your interviews. You look so professional.
Davy’s vision for the garden areas is fantastic, and Kirsty is dedicated to the chicken project. Our chickens live in a structure that my husband made which I call Fort Chickenworth. Keeps them safe from hawks and varmints!
Aussie burger with the lot Grant knows what he’s doing and yes it must have beetroot 😍😍😍
Amury's face of yearning when Grant said there would usually be egg and bacon included, but then bewilderment when he said beetroot 😂
I wouldn't know it was the same chapel, it's so beautifully restored. Would love to see a side by side of before and after.
The Chapel of Saint Joseph looks incredible. You are the chatelaine who has put the most work into the chapel to restore it, to maintain it and to save it🌟
I never comment. But I have been watching for a while. My town temple Texas was hit by a tornado Wednesday night. I have had no power. Hopefully it will be restored by Tuesday. And the only thing that has kept me from completely falling apart is watching your videos. I have been charging my phone in the car 😢. Thank you for spreading joy ❤
I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope you have power soon ❤️
Thank you so much 😊 I have power now. I have cleared 5 downed trees. I wish I had Nic the tree guy. New windows coming in July. They are boarded up for now. New electrical box,meter and pole. Still need fence replacement and my car fixed. But I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you everyone that for the likes 💕
I think the chapel should look new. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean it has to look aged and dilapidated.
It just gives it a bit longer to be in the state where it looks like it needs help, yet again! Also I think that the birds, nesting & pooing will hurry it on into the aged look😢!!! Perhaps a plastic owl should be mounted on each corner of the roof to keep the birds at bay😂!!!
I agree, I love that it is being brought back to its original glory. In my opinion “aged patina “ is just really the result of years of neglect and I love seeing these beautiful old buildings brought back as the people who built them or had them built envisioned.
I agree. I like seeing it look like it did when originally built. Mold and stains detract from the beauty of the architecture.
Chapels is stunning so now we know what opening day was like now added value to the Chateau possible a new way to gain some income to the property ! In some way but not overwhelming! Maybe twice a year have a I aid event to honour the Chapel and all its glory ! Maybe do postcards printed to sell ! Just a thought!
Stephanie! Thank you for sharing the daily videos. We know is a lot of work at the end. We value it. ❤❤❤❤
Oh yes, you have to have beetroot with an Aussie burger. The Chapel looks stunning, inside and out. I'm so glad you are taking it back to its near original state too.
Last week we had the privilege of staying at the Chateau from New-Zealand. It was absolutely wonderful seeing the Chateau, gardens and chapel. It was extra special to meet Stephanie, Philip, Natalia, Marie and of course Gerald. It was just delightful letting us in to your world for a few days. Thankyou so much.
It was a joy to stay in the Marquis suite and experiencing Marie's amazing cooking. I hope I can come back one day. You are very special people who bring joy to the world. Thankyou x
Melissa and Clive Alderton
The chapel looks glorious!
Welcome back Pavlina and Kirsty. The Chapel looks so beautiful. Lancelot is so happy you are both home again. Aussie burgers are the best. 💕🇦🇺
As an Australian, I fully support the addition of beetroot on a burger. 😊
Oh me too! Our Greek migrants made thee best hamburgers at their milk bars in the 60s/70s/80s. Now all we can buy are American burgers with pickles, so I've stopped buying them and make my Greek ones at home, they are still not as good though.
Steph the front door to the chapel would look amazing stripped and stained to reveal its natural beauty. ❤❤❤
There is a video from a few years back, showing Percy doing that. It looked gorgeous when he finished. Looks like it is time to do it again, especially now that the chapel has been cleaned.
@@joyeddlemon798 - Yes I remember that time.I think it needs to come off it's hinges and give that door a deep sand and a protective finish on it. I wonder if they should build a small structure over it, to protect it?
Many old cathedrals in America have added glass doors in front of the wooden ones to let more light in ...or left the wooden ones off altogether. I don't know if there is room in that portal opening, but nice simple glass doors would add so much light to the chapel and it would be nice for visitors to peak in even if/when the chapel is closed. I can't wait for weddings to be held there, and hopefully Christenings ...or I guess Catholics would say Baptisms of the little ones to come!
The flower show was amazing. The chapel makes my heart sing with joy and praise. The gardens are beautiful. I am so happy to see Pavlina back at Lalande. Kerstey looks incredible. Please let her know.❤
Kirstie & Stephanie, Please put in a damp proof course in the new concrete Chicken Coop. It will be more healthy & comfortable for them especially in the cold rainy winter.
The Chapel looks fabulous. Great to see Pavlina back at LaLande. Little Lancelot was so excited to see you and Phillip.
Do I dare write that Lancelot is Stephanie's dog? 🤭 The Chapel is absolutely beautiful! I am with you on making it pristine to last longer. Will there be periodic upkeep? Will the hedge become an archway leading to the garden? Really nice to see Amaury and Natie dining with you. ❤
I watched the video when they went to get the puppy and Stephanie almost cried with nervousness. So funny to compare to now.
I thought the same about the dog.
@@deanviewofachateaumybandbi7899I often think that one day, Stephanie is gonna have to get Philip a dog too😊
Australian hamburgers :-) Beetroot often appears on them and/or in salad sandwiches.
Yep, had a salad sanga today with beetroot, yum.
Love a beetroot & salad cream sandwich!
Wow, Kristy lost a lot of weight. She looks great ! Congratulations, you go Girl.❤❤❤ Chapel looks beautiful. ❤❤❤
Kirstyyyyyy....please tell us how you did it, we need some inspiration!
The chapel and gardens are looking amazing! The chickens won’t know themselves once their new home is completed.
And I can’t wait for the chapel to be finished. It will look magnificent. And yes, record all the workers, perhaps in a book about the restoration for the sacristy storage area. And Steph I hope you invite the previous owners to view the restoration and to see your promised commitment to restore the chapel come to fruition. You’ve proven to be a worthy chatelaine! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Wow looks like a new chapel.
Im so excited for Vivienne and Simon on their wonderful news. Glad that you and Philip will attend the party. Welcome back Pavolina i hope you're here to stat awhile. Chapel and Hidden garden look brilliant. And Kirstie, i almost didn't recognize you! Such a beatiful smile. Thank you so much for this happy vlog.
The chapel looks perfect! And I am so happy Pavlina came back with you! Stephanie, in the English garden, that is a variety of alliums, called Allium Schubertii.❤❤❤
The chapel looks wonderful. Kirsty has lost so much weight. I almost didn’t recognise her, 😊
Kirsty lost so much weight!! Looking good!
Kirsty looks wonderful! I know she must feel great too! I know how good I felt when I lost weight! The chapel is shining in the sun!
I was excited to see the progress of the chapel ... but much more excited to see both Pavlina and Kirsty back at Lalande!
I love it at 90 year old that chapel needs cleaning again. Lol❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just can’t believe the transformation of the chapel! So pretty and so lucky to have it right out your back door!!1
Nothing like a great big Aussie burger replete with bacon, egg, beetroot and pineapple, along with the usual burger patty, lettuce, tomato, cheese, grilled onions and tomato or bbq sauce. You’re a champion if you can take a bite with a bit of everything in it, without the rest of the contents falling out the back of the burger.
Definitely! The perfect Aussie burger!!
I see a Beekeeper as a new staff member!!
I think Lalande works hand in hand with a local bee keeper and receives honey from them.
Yes, a bee hive area at Lalande has the hives of a local bee keeper. Once a year, they are given a share of the honey.
Just saying, with all these flowers and blooms, some bee houses could be on property and shown on vlogs. The bee keepers could also come on property.. it would bring a whole new crowd of followers!
Oh wow! The Chapel is looking magnificent! So beautiful. I must say, I’ve been admiring that coat that Stephanie bought in Chelsea-I need one! Another great video🥰
It is lovely isn’t it?
Considering this is a chapel and not a big church, the restoration work is still really extensive. So many talented people doing the restoration! ❤
The chapel is on
its final stages to look like when it was built.
I am waiting to see who will be the first couple to get marry there.❤
Could it be a double wedding?
@@sallyinnz70 Maybe. I have in mind two couples that could be marry at any time after the restoration of the chapel is completed.
Kirsty is also engaged, so there may be a wedding in the garden also. ❤
Ah you should take Marie and grant out for the day for a reward for all the hardwork and dogsitting whilst you're away 😉
The chapel is beautiful! The front doors of the chapel needs repainted/stained to match the fresh look.
I guess that's on the to do list. 😊
The chapel is stunning I love the work of the artisans.
Wow, the way I gasped at how beautiful the chapel, garden, and flowers are. Beautiful
Your wedding photos are going to look spectacular in front of the chapel!
Maybe Amuary and Natti too?? Having whole family involved in being there and part of it all!
Kirsty looking fab, Lancelot is a character. Welcome back Pavlina
Hello! I haven’t commented before, but I’ve followed you since the very beginning and am a low level patron. I just thought I would let you know that I pray for you and am praying for God’s blessing to reside on and in the lovely chapel. May you feel His loving presence every time you enter it.
I'm sure the restoration of the chapel looks so much better in person than on film, but my jaw literally dropped when I saw the front facade. It looks wonderful! The chapel restorers are doing an excellent job!
Can’t wait for Christmas in the chapel!!
I remember the nativity scene in there a few years back, it was lovely and will look stunning 😊
It will be gorgeous this year
I was born , grew up and still live in Cornwall . One of my favourite places is Glendurgan garden. There are lots of special things about it. The maze, the giant stride (which was such fun) then walking down to the little village of Durgan where when I was a girl (many years ago) some of my school friends lived. Sadly not any more. Cornwall has many special places and gardens. You really should visit. 😊
We visited these gardens a couple of years ago! They are wonderful!
Fabulous episode!!! So many familiar, dear faces; a homecoming with a quick/comprehensive tour and a fun/funny invitation hinting at more entertaining times ahead. Capped off with the enticing sneak peak of the Chelsea interviews. Wow, a premium episode indeed (don’t understand why your viewership isn’t double or triple (at least) what it is now.
I think we all need to invite our friends and family!!!
I know of two weddings at LaLande to take Place when ready. ❤ 😉
Hopefully Emory & Naty get married in Notre Dame in December when its completed.
Kirsty and Hoppy actually was the first engagement before even Amaury and Natti.
...have they expressed a wish to be married at Notre Dame? Surely that would be rather costly? However, if they are practicing Catholics perhaps not. Come to think of it, I don't think anyone who is not Catholic gets married at a Catholic cathedral/church. Well, that would be truly glorious. But the next thought is ...wouldn't it be booked solid for the next five years or so? @@suzyq555
Kirsty looks so fresh after her break!!
Yes! And I’d love to know her secret!
We had the privilege to visit Sissinghurst this past August. Fabulous garden!
VANCOUVER 🇨🇦 calling...
Hello Lalanders❤
Hello from Nelson,🇨🇦

I paint murals, which is quite different from the painstakingly precise work that your chapel restorers are doing, and yet it is interesting to see that the tricks of the trade (using chalk to mark out painted elements because it easily wipes down) carry over. I’ve been fascinated to see this process. I know it’s been expensive, but I think it’s so worthwhile!
Also, on a separate note, Kristy’s shirt is hilarious. And I’m not even a t-swift fan 😂
Oh my look at the painting of St Joseph, made me cry, it is so beautiful and sad. I could stare at it for hours and contemplate what it was like that day.
Me too! 😢
The Chapel front looks gorgeous! Thank you Chapel restorers and everyone who has donated money!
I wish all of the restorers would sing a plaque with there names on it so people would know who did the work .And placed in the chapel..❤
~
Thank you Stephanie😉
Welcome back Paplina! 👍🏾
The chapel looks so nice.
Oh my goodness the chapel is stunning 🤩 ❤
The chapel is absolutely stunning. I think my favorite part was watching your glee as you returned home. I have a friend who lives in Cornwall and I have to ask her if she’s ever seen that garden. It was utterly ethereal. Thank you for another wonderful glimpse into your magical life.
I had no idea the chapel would look so good. Its specatular!
Kirsty has lost so much weight. She looks wonderful!
Kirsty has always been lovely. Why someone has to comment on her size feels wrong.
She is so beautiful, a natural. ❤
Wonderful that you are back to Chateau family Pavlina!
This chapel is magnificent I am so in awe of the chapel and it is transformation back to its original beauty. I am putting wishes into the future .
The chapel is indeed beautiful!!! It has been so wonderful to watch the progress. Thank you for sharing. Love ❤❤❤❤to all.
Stunning ✨✨✨🏆🏆🏆🏆🩵🩵🩵🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nice to see that Grant is introducing everyone to an Aussie burger 🍔
OMG the chapel is exquisite!!!¡
I see you Stephanie dressed in lace !!
Walking down the aisle!!
Yes, she should get the finest silk and lace gown with little seed pearls and aurora borealis crystals!!!
Nothing is too good for our Stephanie!!!
The Chapel is looking beautiful again! The restoration TEAM is doing such a great job on transforming the inside murals and fleur-de-lys symbols. I and wait to see the end results. Now, on with the restoration of the LAKE!🥂
It looks amazing!! Like a new chapel, it's lovely!
Thankyou Grant for showing them the Aussie Burger with the Lot❤
It isn't a burger with the lot without pineapple and beetroot! And egg and bacon and cheese and onions and tomato sauce. I think there's even a burger in there too!
For this old aussie, beetroot is a must but, no 🍍! ❤😊🇦🇺
Beetroot is a must in burgers.
I’ve said it before Stephanie I just adore your Dads painting behind you ❤
It is gloriously rich in color, movement & little vignettes that tell several stories it seems. Almost like a live ballet
Grant made good Aussie hamburgers! They must have pineapple, tomato, lettuce, tomato sauce, fried egg, cheese, bacon and beetroot!
Kurstie you look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😅We had a wood carrier on wheels... just rolled it right in.
Kind of like a luggage carrier.
Easy on the arms. (Guys can carry wood, ladies roll it)
Kirsty is such a hard worker & she is looking GREAT!!!
So happy to see back Pavlina
The chapel restoration is truly AMAZING!!! The restorers are SO, SO talented - I am sitting here with tears in my eyes at what they have achieved.
...me too! I can not believe how quickly everyone is getting it done ...It truly is going to be glorious!!! ⛪
Vegetarian burgers in Australia have beetroot too. It’s the best! Cooked caramelised onions and beetroot on a mushroom or patty and salad burgers.
Looking amazing Stephanie. Super job.
Seeing the chapel exterior looking so stunning brought tears to my eyes. I remember how overwhelming it was when you were first having the estimate done and the architect came to look at the structural issues above the grand salon. Somehow seeing the progress on the chapel feels like the sun is coming out brighter for LaLande every time I see it. It must be quite the experience to see that progression of reclaimed beauty in person. Thank you for sharing it with us all!
So lovely to Pavlina back again, she's looking so good. Is she guest or staying longer.
Xxx 💕
Welcome back, Pavlina 💕 And the chapel is so lovely-thank you for giving glory to God through this careful restoration. All these gifted artists, architects and artisans past and present, use their talents to celebrate and praise our Lord -the ground and origin of all beauty.
Love love love to see Pavlina back at Laland. ❤❤❤❤
I’m totally not religious, but I truly appreciate and admire the historic significance of restoring and caring for a work of art of such beauty and significance. I foresee many lovely weddings taking place here.
I really hope you can invite the family that used to live there! I’m sure they will be so happy seeing the chapel so shiny and beautiful 🥹🩵
I love it when you return from well anywhere and Lancelot only wants you each and every time. It warms my heart his love for you.❤️ sorry Philip
The chapel looks amazing and now it will be around for a few more hundred years!
Its always so neat to come back from a break and see how the Garden has changed being spring it can just change from day to day . The Gazebo area is stunning . The Chapel is looking very grand inside and out just amazing how they have got it all looking so great again . Another neat video . 😃💚💛🧡💛💚
Lovely to see Pavlina back at the Chateau. Kirsty, you're looking beautiful and good luck with building the chicken fort! I'm still waiting to see Philip's new clothes he bought a few days ago! Love your vlogs! I love that I'm being entertained, educated and reminded how building good relationships with others is so important.
❤Zeljka
Oh how beautiful the chapel is coming along. Took my breath away.
The South African Fynbos garden was a triumph! ❤🇿🇦
