I've been staying home, except for doctor visits and one trip to the nursery for flowers, since March 10th. I have groceries delivered. This is the highlight of my day and almost the only thing keeping me sane (I think.).
@@chloelouise9797 I had a bad flu reaction years ago, where my immune system didn't stop one it had attacked the germs. It started to unwind the coating around my nerves. I could barely walk or swallow. It took a month to recover. So, I am just being in extremely cautious. now.
Me too since March 13. Weird though, how I freaked out in March/April & got grocery delivery but now we do go get groceries ourselves and our covid numbers in our area are 8x what they were in April. This must be what boiling the frog is like. Thank goodness for Stephanie and her friends! And, UA-cam videos showing Persian carpets being washed - so satisfying!
I know many have said it before but thank you for the escape.. Even if it is only for a little while you managed to take my mind off my problems and make me smile. Thank you all!!
Stephanie, there's nothing wrong with occasional extravagance! It's what makes all of the hard work worthwhile. My dad says "Life is not always about 'need.'"
Stephanie and Philip did a wonderful job upholstering Marmaduke Settee. Creating new patterns from scraps takes skill and artistic talent. You both should be enormously proud of yourselves.
At first I thought Philip was gay ( nothing wrong with that ) but now I almost feel like they seem VERY close and Stephanie doesnt seem to mention Michael anymore ... i wonder ...
I actually lol’d when Stephanie said The EBay and didn’t realize it! I’m sure she will have had a chuckle when she put the vlog together. Another excellent end to my day! X
The sofa, something Frankinstien Marmalade whatever, anyway looks great. Perfect even! Phillip did a wonderful job. Putting together misaligned pieces was a terrific idea that worked out. I am impressed!
I think I am watching too much Stephanie TV. I woke up at 3am today laughing to myself with the comment the Elusive Nic said to Philip.........."Is there anything I can cook that WON'T kill you". ha ha ha :-)
I would love to see the wall behind the stove covered with tile and a few copper pans. The kitchen is lovely and the tile would finish it off. Best to all you wonderful people.
Brilliant 🤣i love it when Kat came into the kitchen, right on que😄, marie should bring out a recipe book on cocktails 😉fantastic news Stephanie that you can now upload your vlogs from home🤗💕🌻
When I think I have reached the limit of my joy watching your videos, I am once again delighted to watch an even more enjoyable and lovely episode. So relaxing and beautiful!
Stephanie so glad that your WiFi 💻connection is finally sorted!!! Cocktail🍹🍸 book please!!!! Or cocktail calendar!! 😀 Actually the calendar is a good idea!! Also with all the different volunteers with maybe a short description of them. Sorry got carried away with myself!! 😅🤗💝
Since it's almost Thanksgiving Day, I want to say that we are all thankful to "the LockDown" for such an amazing year of prosperity, creativity and goodwill at LaLande. Thanks to Stephanie for sharing her dreaming and daring do!
That is called Shabby Chic Style with your table decorations...Old with new and modern with a natural background...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos....Peace, Love and Light!!
Dear Stephanie and All, I’m so happy you can finally vlog from home after spending countless hours in your car chasing the signal. We are so fortunate you never gave up on it, it must have been exhausting! So glad you all the celebrated with cocktails en negligee! Lovely to see Philip enjoy his applesauce cocktail. And Selmar soon baking appeltaart. Classic Dutch delights. Says the Dutchwoman 🥰
WOW!!! I'm really impressed at Marie's myriad extraordinary skills: florist, cook, now mixologist😮 We miss Naty and Selmar at the cocktail party. Well done Ian, on the internet connection. Stay healthy and safe all. God bless!
OMG...Dan did such a wonderful job on the courtyard...I can't wait to see the roses bloom...I think the red with one yellow rose will be Fantastic....Then you can walk right out the door and get red and yellow cut roses...So Spoiled!!!
The thing that makes All the difference is you all are REAL! Kind, considerate, FUNNY PEOPLE.. quirky Adorable darlings! That's why everyone watches and gives to you. And wants to keep you their secret.🙏❤️🌹😇😎👍🎉😵😂😍
Congratulations on the Internet Connectivity!!! Yay Ian and Hanni!!! The cocktails look so wonderful! And the Christmas cake does as well. Looks like great fun at LaLande. I think the purple walls will be so lush, especially if you can have some teal and gold highlights! I think it will be very pretty-- don't worry, Natie💗. Sending love and hugs from across the Pond! 🙏🏻🏰💗⚜️💜⚜️💗🏰🙏🏻
Those bowls you found on the Ebay are so pretty! Hopefully Mummy will love them when she sees them on the UA-cam. (Giggles) I love you, Stephanie. The sofa looks amazing as well. Great job! Thanks to Ian for getting the internet sorted. I hope that helps you and Marie with your work. No need for you girls to freeze your tootsies off in the freezing cold this winter.
The Christmas cake sounds so delicious. Maybe someone could make a "companion" cake to go with it, like a traditional Buche-de-Noel. You can't have too many cakes at Christmas.
Marie, cauliflower cheese, one of my favourite meal. My mouth is watering at the thought of cauliflower cheese and warm buttered thick slices of white bread. Yummy. X
I just wanted to Thank you for your vlogs! Being in the U.S. is stressful right now and I look forward to your vlogs everyday! You are such a neat person and I love everyone on there but I am missing your mummy so much! She is adorable! Best wishes and Happy Holidays !
Hello Stephanie and all of the amazing, beautiful, and charming Lelanders! I just discovered your channel this year and have been watching all of your videos with my mom. We LOVE your vlogs so so soo much! Thank you so much from the bottom of me and my mom's hearts for sharing the Chateau, your lives, and around France! We are inspired by all of your creative and amazing projects around your chateau to decorate our own home and in our artwork as well! We both are artists and are very much into antiques, old architecture, and global culture so your videos bring us a beautiful light during such a difficult year. So thank you so much for every video that you post! Love you all very much
I’d been slacking on this channel when my university work picked up, but 2 minutes in I immediately want to catch up on every episode! I can’t wait to see what goes on during the holiday season, best wishes to the whole Lalande team!
Congratulations on the internet connection, and the sofa looked great!! I'm guessing Isabelle will forgive you for buying the soup cups 😁 I really wish I could volunteer at the chateau for a few months too 😁
Stephanie, I love Your Vlogs and The Whole way you treat People Like Other Commenters say You are Helping Us Forget What is happening for a while Thank You
Hey Steph- so chuffed you’re able to upload so much quicker and from the comfort of your bedroom! More time to kick back at the end of the day. Thank you Ian! 👏
your variety of content in your vlogs are great, you deserve the success! My best to Mummy and Percy, it's wonderful they were reunited! I hope Mason is doing well. Sad that relationships have been even greater distanced than before. Thank you all and I send my best wishes!
You can make your own soft brown sugar - this is really wonderful!! 200gr granulated white sugar 25gr black treacle or molasses Microwave for 15sec, or if you don’t have a microwave, warm gently in the oven Then work it all together with your hands, till it’s all combined & softly crumbly. Put in a clean glass jar, it keeps beautifully & doesn’t go into a hard lump.
Wow Stephanie, that purple will look absolutely stunning on the walls. Wonderful as a back drop to enhance the beautiful furniture and your fathers fabulous works of art. Love it. ❤️
Oh, what fun!! Stephanie, you have inspired me to make my Christmas cake and for the first time I will try the Delia Smith Christmas cake! I will look that up right now!! Thank you, sweet Steph!! You guys as such fun. You make my heart sing!!
Hello All! Stephanie, you said you cannot get dark brown sugar in France, but, if you can get your hands on molasses, you can make your own brown sugar, just mix molasses with white caster sugar until you reach the desired darkness.
That sattie turned out beautiful, well done! The drinks looked fantastic, can't wait to try them on my family. Wonderful episode, thanks and God bless you all.
My wife had a heart procedure in August, she watched the lawnmower episode to keep calm as two people worked in her groin area to stop a bleed. This show is as good as medicine. My wife stayed calm and has recovered nicely.
The sofa really does look amazing! Well done, you two! Great idea for your office to be there, for the off season, Natie! 💗 I’m so glad about the internet!!! Yay, Ian! This was so much fun! Thank you all for sharing. 💗🙏
So happy that Stephanie no longer has to huddle in her car on the dark lanes near Lalande in order to upload her blogs. A round of cheers for Ian!
I've been staying home, except for doctor visits and one trip to the nursery for flowers, since March 10th. I have groceries delivered. This is the highlight of my day and almost the only thing keeping me sane (I think.).
Hope you’re doing okay!xxx

@@jeffreyskinner7167 It becomes a challenge to entertain oneself after a while! Stay well. We'll get through this.

@@joanneharper9090 oh blimey. That’s horrendous - Sending you love in this time xx
Yay internet!! No freezing in the car this winter!
I think Stephanie might come to miss the ritual of traipsing up the road to find the internet sweet spot!
I think she will miss the bed more!!
Kat comes blasting in like Cosmo on Seinfeld!
Hahahaha yes she sure did🤣
Love Her!
YES!!!
She is such a jewel!
I know many have said it before
but thank you for the escape.. Even if it is only for a little while you managed to take my mind off my problems and make me smile. Thank you all!!
Every time I see the courtyard with the box hedge I can believe how complete it looks now! So beautiful, great job team LaLonde!
Stephanie, there's nothing wrong with occasional extravagance! It's what makes all of the hard work worthwhile. My dad says "Life is not always about 'need.'"
Stephanie, your new pink stone gravel in the courtyard echoes the lovely pink sky.😘
🎶🌿💜🌿🎶
This was so beautiful ....
@@karinevahofbauer5960 , yes, indeed! :-D
Stephanie and
Philip did a wonderful job upholstering Marmaduke Settee. Creating new patterns from scraps takes skill and artistic talent. You both should be enormously proud of yourselves.
Are they dating? They are so cute together. Much Love
At first I thought Philip was gay ( nothing wrong with that ) but now I almost feel like they seem VERY close and Stephanie doesnt seem to mention Michael anymore ... i wonder ...
@@Horus070 MMnnn he's a love but I rather think the Clarinet playing Chef might be a contender?
CONGRATULATIONS on getting internet sorted !! Ian's the star ⭐🏰
I actually lol’d when Stephanie said The EBay and didn’t realize it! I’m sure she will have had a chuckle when she put the vlog together. Another excellent end to my day! X
The sofa, something Frankinstien Marmalade whatever, anyway looks great. Perfect even! Phillip did a wonderful job. Putting together misaligned pieces was a terrific idea that worked out. I am impressed!
After watching this video, I immediately went on eBay and ordered some replacement bowls for my china set!
I think I am watching too much Stephanie TV. I woke up at 3am today laughing to myself with the comment the Elusive Nic said to Philip.........."Is there anything I can cook that WON'T kill you". ha ha ha :-)
Wooohooo for being able to upload at Lalande!!!
Living life like its golden...That château knows how to have fun!
The back of the settee doesn't have to be the same as the front. It just has to be complementary. Good job Phillip.
I love the e-bay, too, grin. The soup bowls are spectacular!! Ohhh and the internet works!! Hooray! Cheers with red wine.
I love the vlogs like this...makes me wish SOOO bad that I could be apart of your lockdown crew :'(
I’m so glad you’re able to upload at home and not have to be out there in the cold. Yay!!! The soup bowl sets from “the eBay” look great. 👍🏼
Wow! My wife is still practicing Thanksgiving and yes, I am the test group.
HOORAY FOR INTERNET!!!!!!! That is amazing!
Lalande is getting posher by the day 😂 beautiful gravel lighting and now internet absolutely wonderful , love it 💕
Marie, the salad looks yummy. I love chickpeas in everything. You need to start a cookbook!
yes! Food and cocktails by Marie! She is so lovely and adorable
In the apple sidecar drink you could use a cinnamon stick as part of the garnish
Or cranberries soaked in sweet vermouth
Yes, brilliant suggestion
I would love to see the wall behind the stove covered with tile and a few copper pans. The kitchen is lovely and the tile would finish it off. Best to all you wonderful people.
Look back on past videos. Stephanies father was designing a tile mural for that space. It will be spectacular when its done.
@@ShipCreek do you know approximately when that was mentioned? Thanks for the reply.
Brilliant 🤣i love it when Kat came into the kitchen, right on que😄, marie should bring out a recipe book on cocktails 😉fantastic news Stephanie that you can now upload your vlogs from home🤗💕🌻
I’m curious on the red beet and chickpea salad too
@@pebblesmiller9026 definitely is. Still am curious to know what she put in that salad. Looks so yummy - I love red beets
The sofa/bench turned out so well! Bravo 👏 ! But please tell me that those red curtains are going to be re-homed?😘
Every now and then, much to my surprise, I find an episode I’ve missed. So glad to see this one. It is so happy and beautiful.
Haha marmaduke is the name of our car and my dog is named Sir Maximilian the 3rd!!
😄😄😄
When I think I have reached the limit of my joy watching your videos, I am once again delighted to watch an even more enjoyable and lovely episode. So relaxing and beautiful!

I like your thinking!! It all sounds good to me. Maybe even a LaLande cookbook/cocktail book with pictures of the LaLande crew... sounds wonderful!
Just more wonderful ideas for La Lande Merch!!!!
Where is Hanni? I thought she bought something similar??
Marie’s chickpea salad looked delicious! I would love her recipe. Maybe Lalande cookbook? That would be awesome!
A real treat, as per usual. Love to all LaLanders 💖
So glad you can upload from home!
that is too funny Philip mending your apron with the Peacock pin!! cute.
You seem even happier than usual lately.
And so does Marie it seems ... more relaxed, laughing and enjoying the natural surroundings 🌳🌿☘

Anyone else have a drink for the end of the video? I makes you feel like you get to celebrate a little and you are not alone at cocktail time.
Oh my goodness - that candlebra on the kitchen table!!
Thank you for making me smile for 34 entire minutes!
The Christmas cake is making me feel so festive! All the best to the Lalanders 💓

So love the kitchen, truly is the heart if the house/chateau. Love getting ready for Christmas.
So look forward to Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays! Its 2 ish here and I always take my work break to watch! Love it!
Only seems yesterday that cake was being made this time last year!
Advent: Michael wearing that same apron
I was thinking the very same thing! Time flies when you are binge watching The Chateau Diaries.
A little pinch of nutmeg in the cheese sauce. Try it!
Those bowls you found on the Ebay are so pretty! Hopefully Mummy will love them when she sees them on the UA-cam. (Giggles) I love you, Stephanie. The sofa looks amazing as well. Great job!

Love love love your youtube channel, 🥰 I live just outside the very pretty town of Sarlat in the Dordogne and share your love of living in France ❤️
Wow Stephanie, that purple will look absolutely stunning on the walls. Wonderful as a back drop to enhance the beautiful furniture and your fathers fabulous works of art. Love it. ❤️
Stephanie - Kat has soo much talent and personality, and great Camera presence - get her in front of the camera - you deserve more than 97k subs
Brussel sprouts finished off in a pan with a little bacon fat and maple syrup. Yum.
Oh, what fun!! Stephanie, you have inspired me to make my Christmas cake and for the first time I will try the Delia Smith Christmas cake! I will look that up right now!! Thank you, sweet Steph!! You guys as such fun. You make my heart sing!!

Watching while getting an infusion. THE BEST way to do it! Thanks, Stephanie!!
Stephanie Jeroslow do well fellow La Land Lover,
My wife had a heart procedure in August, she watched the lawnmower episode to keep calm as two people worked in her groin area to stop a bleed. This show is as good as medicine. My wife stayed calm and has recovered nicely.
@@deanwall9291 I totally agree!
Each episode is uplifting. Your wife is very brave
The sofa is so well done! Christmas cake and cocktails, and internet success- well worth celebrating
Consomme bowls are beautiful and so apropos your your mother. Cream soups are especially grand in them.
I absolutely adore the sofa, and the colour of the fabric is superb. Great job
You should do a "Cocktails of La Lande" recipe book!
Btw, I googled Lillet, and it looks like Lillet contains citrus fruit peel. 😆
That was comedic gold. Lovely.
The sofa really does look amazing! Well done, you two!
Great idea for your office to be there, for the off season, Natie! 💗
I’m so glad about the internet!!! Yay, Ian!
This was so much fun! Thank you all for sharing. 💗🙏
PURPLE ROOM!!! YES!! 😁 Ça va être tellement beau! Le mauve est une couleur très profonde, j'espère que ce sera un mauve aubergine 😊
I sooo want to join the pajama club at Lalande. Thanks all for a bit of escape. Long live the night robe mafia!
I SO LOVE KAT! But all of you are treasures who cheer up any day! xoxo
Had drinks with youall..sipping on str8 up vodka...soon I won't be able to type....LOL
Cheers! 🥂
Thank you Stephanie and everybody in Lalande for give me the Xmas spirit!!!!
Please make your vlogs a little longer. They just go too quickly.
I think that wil be a problem, no matter how long they are 😁
Theyll never be long enough. 😂
