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…..
Welcome back, Pavlina. You bring something very special to Lalande. I hope you stay!
I agree with that
That coat of yours looks so good in your interviews. You look so professional.
Davey is a genius with landscaping.
Not sure it is correct to plant trees with metal cages and burlap left on.
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.
I am so happy to see Pavlina back home. The flowers in all the gardens are really taking off. They are just beautiful.
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.
Wow, the way I gasped at how beautiful the chapel, garden, and flowers are. Beautiful
Kirsty is such a hard worker & she is looking GREAT!!!
My goodness, the Death of St Joseph looks amazing! So glad the chapel has been restored and saved.
The chapel looks glorious!
Steph, you and all your family, can be proud of the legacy you've preserved in the Chapel.
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.
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?
So happy to see back Pavlina
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.
Stephanie! Thank you for sharing the daily videos. We know is a lot of work at the end. We value it. ❤❤❤❤
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.
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
Wonderful that you are back to Chateau family Pavlina!
Welcome back Pavlina and Kirsty. The Chapel looks so beautiful. Lancelot is so happy you are both home again. Aussie burgers are the best. 💕🇦🇺
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!
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.❤
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😊
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.
The Chapel took my breath away it’s so gorgeous!!! ❤❤❤
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 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.
Kirsty looking fab, Lancelot is a character. Welcome back Pavlina
The Chapel looks fabulous. Great to see Pavlina back at LaLande. Little Lancelot was so excited to see you and Phillip.
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 😂
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 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🌟
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.❤❤❤
I was excited to see the progress of the chapel ... but much more excited to see both Pavlina and Kirsty back at Lalande!
Wow looks like a new chapel.
Kirsty lost so much weight!! Looking good!
The chapel is indeed beautiful!!! It has been so wonderful to watch the progress. Thank you for sharing. Love ❤❤❤❤to all.
The Chapel front looks gorgeous! Thank you Chapel restorers and everyone who has donated money!
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!
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! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
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 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 looking like it was just built is truly a gift from the taleneted restorers . It will be I. Place for many generations to come.🇨🇦
The chapel looks wonderful. Kirsty has lost so much weight. I almost didn’t recognise her, 😊
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?
Love love love to see Pavlina back at Laland. ❤❤❤❤
The chapel is so beautiful and just would spend much time there. Just like a piece of heaven! Seeems so right to see Pavlina back. Glad that Natti and Amuary were there when you all arrived! Lancelot too, as he always is so excited to see you! marie loved he gift and really will find it useful and much easier to use, am sure! The gardens are so perfect. All is growing so well!
Cannot wait to travel along ,to the Bachelor and Bachelorette party! Sounds just so very fancy, and such fun! Looking forward to this special event ! One Chateau invitation to the other like it would have been back in time, and done in this former way!!!
I love it at 90 year old that chapel needs cleaning again. Lol❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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!
The chapel and flower garden looks amazing! Such beautiful reveals🤗. I appreciate and thank you Stephanie for sharing the lives of everyone who works, volunteer, visits and lives at Chateau de Lande including Lancelot, other furry and feathered as well.
I love all your videos from the past to the present of the Chelsea Flower Shows and gardens of other chateaus. Please continue sharing your fantastic videos of your visits to other gardens in the UK, France and other places. The director of the National Trust gardens is indeed fortunate to have such a job! I wish that I could visit all the gardens in the National Trust-what a delightful thought. I believe the gardens in the US is no match to the gardens abroad. Thank you again, from Dublin, California.
Stephanie, dead-head your Alliums! I know the seed heads look nice after the flowers are over, but they do better for it and you'll get a better display next spring.
I just can’t believe the transformation of the chapel! So pretty and so lucky to have it right out your back door!!1
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!
Kurstie you look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The chapel is stunning I love the work of the artisans.
We had the privilege to visit Sissinghurst this past August. Fabulous garden!
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!
@@arrowone Probably just basic calorie deficit and exercise
So lovely to Pavlina back again, she's looking so good. Is she guest or staying longer.
Xxx 💕
Wow the chapel looks so amazing 😍😍😍😍
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. ❤
~
Thank you Stephanie😉
Welcome back Paplina! 👍🏾
The chapel looks so nice.
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!
The chapel is beautiful! The front doors of the chapel needs repainted/stained to match the fresh look.
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!
Ah you should take Marie and grant out for the day for a reward for all the hardwork and dogsitting whilst you're away 😉
So good to see Pavlina come HOME, I wasn’t sure when/if she was coming back to Lalande.
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!🥂
Looking amazing Stephanie. Super job.
Ooh Stephanie the Chapel is stunningly exquisite ❤❤ I can't wait to see it all done ❤❤
I hope weddings can be done in the Chapel when it's all done ❤ How amazing that would be to see ! Love to you all ❤❤
LOVE the jacket! I recognise the designer - their shop is in Tetbury where I live and their clothes are stunning. Good for you for championing British design and makers :)
The chapel is going to make a gorgeous place for your wedding! And I agree that it's better for it to look new again.
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.
The chapel looks wonderful..........Pavlina's hair and eyes are such a beautiful colour......dying to see the chicken hut!!!
It’s very beautiful,it was before but now it’s stunning lv uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
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!!
The chapel is amazin, so beautiful. And beetroot on a burger is the best, not a proper burger without it.
A fox took one of my birds from a yard away from my leg at midday once, I threw the spade at it but too late for the hen! Foxes get very brave when feeding cubs!
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!!!
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!!!
Oh my goodness the chapel is stunning 🤩 ❤
It’s amazing what money and talent can do! Congratulations! 🎊🥳🎉💗
How’s your wee mummy haven’t heard you talk about her lately, I miss her so much in the vlogs ❤xx
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!
The chapel needs a stone platform all around it with some built-in stone benches at the front so that the interior can extend outside and you can hold events for people to enjoy the chapel! Now that it is starting to look so glorious I hate that it is poking through the weeds and untrimmed surrounding. It is not respectful enough for the building. Very fine work chapel restorers!! Nice to see Pavlina back at Lalande. 😍
So good to see Pavlina home again, she has been missed!
Stephanie you are the best. Thank for bringing such positive vibes into our lives. I love Philip as well 😂 and all the members of Laland . I was going to make reservations in Laland for this summer but I couldn’t go because of time restrictions. I am doing El Camino instead. I will be praying for for all of you on my way to. Santiago de Compostela.
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 😂
Wow, the front of the chapel looks completely different!!
So good to see Kirsty and Pavlina back!!
Love the invite from Vivienne! Excited to see all you chatelains together again!!
Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
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 🥹🩵
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.
It’s heartwarming to see Pavlina in the kitchen again! I’ve enjoyed following her travels, and no doubt will again, but I can only imagine you’re all joyful that she’s at Lalande at least for a visit.
The chapel is looking magnificent! ❤
So happy to see Pavlina back….EVERYTHING is looking so lovely. I love that little fuzzy Lancelot so much….Cheers fromBarcelona.
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! 😢
So happy to have Pavlina back❤️❣️😁😁🇺🇸chapel is gorgeous,love
Stunning ✨✨✨🏆🏆🏆🏆🩵🩵🩵🙏🙏🙏🙏
The chapel restoration is just magnificent. The front with statues is so stunning. So lovely coming back to the chateau with Pavlina. Kirsty is doing a cracking job on that chicken hutch. 🐔 ❤
Vegetarian burgers in Australia have beetroot too. It’s the best! Cooked caramelised onions and beetroot on a mushroom or patty and salad burgers.
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!
I love that Grant is trying to introduce Laland to an Aussie burger. He needs to show them how good beetroot is on burgers. They don't realise what they are missing out on there. Also How did Pavlina like her new room?
