The dress is just beautiful on you! I custom ordered the dress in your favorite colour. for your Birthday. Sorry for tne delay, as with the virus everything is at a snails pace as far as the post is concerned. Enjoy!!!!!
Just woke up here in Australia to see Stephanie brilliantly read my Aloysius story. She has the most articulate and entertaining reading ability. What she didn't read out was my explanation for the very crude photoshopping of the pictures. My regular illustrator is busy painting another of our One Yelpy Kelpie books and so didn't have the time to do this one. The pics were accompanied with my notes to give the idea of what could be. Thrilled they enjoyed. xx
SUGGESTION: With things being difficult at the time. I would like to suggest donating to the food pantries in France, Any Local food pantry. France. In total, around 3.5 million people rely on food banks in France. One provider, the Banque Alimentaire has over 100 branches in France, serving 200 million meals a year to 1.85 million people.
Stephanie, Isabelle, and Gerry are the most genuinely grateful gift openers I've ever seen. No matter the gift, they make everyone feel so special and seen! It's a delight to watch 😘
YAY! I'm so happy the Chapel cookies arrived, and safely, and that you love them. I was getting a little concerned that they hadn't reached you but was relieved to learn last week that there was a huge backlog, so I decided to chill out and wait. Stephanie you most certainly had on the perfect attire to open my note and gift. Keep bringing your joy! Hugs, Sharon
It's amazing that every dress Stephanie is sent fits perfectly. Maybe there's a bit of forward planning, checking out her size with Nati or the family in advance.
Haha...that is what having too much spare time during lockdown can do! Thank you, glad you enjoyed my story. I am a children's author and publish my own books. This version was done with very rough pics, just to get the idea...our other books are hand illustrated in watercolours. xx
Oh my gosh!!! It finally arrived ( I sent it in March)! I’m so happy you received your handmade book and that you love it it! Your response really made my day. -Tamara 😁
@@Etcetorize oh, I came across a channel a few weeks back and loved the idea of making my own though I don't know if I have the patience; however, I love journaling and seeing your book has inspired me to check out your channel and I will go from there. It was truly lovely.
I didn't send a beautiful letter with my package but I think it would be nice to put all the letters you receive in an album. A hundred years from now people should know what beautiful people owned and took care of the chateau.
I keep saying there is something grander on the horizon using either or voice or her historical knowledge or both. She would make a great Historical TV channel host
Dear Stephanie, I have watched you now since you began , it helped me so much to simply enjoy you, your friends and France. I am a widow and wondered if you would kindly consider a charity dear to my heart, Motor Neurone Disease, a little known, but awful disease, that my lovely husband died from, with grateful thanks, Kris
That children's book rhyme was genius! It would be so much fun to draw illustrations for it! And that handmade book is absolutely delightful! I would love something like that
My jaw dropped, then I gasped and then I had full body goosebumps! My lord but that is a beautiful dress and you do it justice Stephanie. What a magnificent present Alice. 💛💛💛🥂
The rustling noise of silk taffeta actually has a textile term: "scroop". Enjoy your gown & try to store flat with acid free paper & sachets to keep moths away.
Thank you, Hanni, for choosing Alzheimer's research. My mother was diagnosed in 1995 with early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 51. Watching her struggle through that disease was awful. Anything that goes to research lessens the likelihood that this terrible disease will affect other mothers like mine in future.
I will have to join in chat next time but 5am is not much of a chatty time for me. This was truly delightful. Stephanie, you may not feel like your videos do much but please never discount what a safe haven amidst a storm can do. You give us respite from the harshness of everyday life, You, your family, friends and Guests make us smile & laugh and bring us all such joy. That may not seem like much but in truth it is everything. It can honestly be the difference between making it through a dark day or not. Sometimes seeing joy still existing reminds us the sun will shine in our own lives again. Not sure I explained myself well here but I do hope you understand the point I am trying to make. Hugs
The Ladyship Duchess am so glad you like the merchandise l sent with your favourite liquorice. But the best gift has to be beautiful gold dress just fit for a Duchess . All the best Davey Southwood xxxxx
Everyone should literally be forced to shed modern clothing and wear only 18th c once entering the gates. You looked amazing in the dress. I’m obsessed with it. What a unbelievably perfect gift. It completely changed the vibe of the video. I would love to see a episode with everyone in costume. Gerry will look fabulous in powdered wig and waist coat. We love his quick wit.
@@sandiecavendish9722, they are much more expensive on Amazon but shipping could be a factor as well depending on where people live. I love the wicker handle the most. I have wicker chargers I use with my blue & white it really shows it off.
Gerald Grady haha! Oh shouting with love Gerry😂 I’m doing good thank you & you as well! You always manage to make us all smile here. Thanks for that😊❤️
Scottman Gerry’s reaction to Mommy Isabelle’s prank is really hilarious…. Hahaha !!! Naughty Marietta is a beautiful film. Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy was the most successful loveteam of their time. c”,)
All the presents were absolutely fantastic, so thoughtful and lovely. So many creative and wonderful people who watch and support Lalande, it's amazing!!! Christmas Monday is just amazing, I'm enjoying every second of the Unwrapping moments. 😊 And Megan, if you read this: I'm deeply sorry for your loss. You are such a lovely person sending those presents. Wish you all the best. ❤️
💝Yes, I second both of your sentiments. 🎁Chateau Unwrapped is highly enjoyable to watch Stephanie & her entourage as they open each love offering from around the world🌐. ✉|📦They all graciously offer lavish praise & appreciation for the incredible bounty of cards & gifts as well as the amazingly thoughtful senders📮. A very satisfying & lively exchange that will now plant seed money in important charities & causes too.👏😊 ~~~~~~~~~~~ 💔Megan: my heart breaks for your loss. C19 has been an absolute monster🤢 -- & the hospital🔒lockdowns (however well meaning in intent) have made this tragic time doubly difficult. So stunning of you to think of Stephanie in the midst of your own loss. 🙏Pray for healing & grace to be poured upon you. Hope the ☄enchantment🌈 of ⚜LaLande is a comfort in your grief. 🕊May God bless you all!!! ☮🦋🌼💛🌼🦋☮
Your videos are so fun. I've been binge watching your past videos & enjoying them all. I live alone now being an only child & having lost both parents Daddy 12yrs ago & my sweet Mama my best friend 2yrs ago. I went to a dark place for awhile but I'm finding my way back. Last year I decided it was time for a change so I have been redecorating. Nothing on the scale of LaLande but I love French country farmhouse & garden so that is what I'm aiming for. Thank you for sharing your family , friends & the journey of LaLande. Bless you all from a greatful Southern lady from America.
*This is one of my favourite’s and iv watched it so many time it always make me chuckle when Stephanie is opening the toil de jouy wallpaper at **31:09** and Gabby covers her mouth about to laugh as she is the only one who noticed how very rude but funny Stephanie opens it😱😆😂🤣♥️👍🏼*
With all the horrible negative things going on around the world, these video's are a refreshing joy at how generous and lovely and kind and thoughtful some people are, such a wonderful idea to do this for charity 🤗
Megan, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. Sending you thoughts and prayers of comfort from Colorado. I hope you find much comfort in this time. Jo the book was brilliant. And to all the other wonderful and generous friends, what a joy to see your creative and thoughtful gifts. Wishing you all good health.
Aloysius the Ram 🐏 had me applauding 👏 with you all at the end there. What a book, what a parcel, what an episode, what a life! Thank you and much love. 💕💕💕
So please my hedgehogs print finally got there. And the dress oh my gosh so beautiful! So sorry to hear of your loss Meghan much love and prayers your way. I lost my father 29 years ago today.
Bobi Lerma your welcome bobi I’m sorry for your loss. Mines died from working down the pit at the age of 63. A good father is a space that can never be filled. ❤️
🎩Your hedgehogs are fabulous! 🎄They will be glorious out on display at Christmas! 🖌Sweet of you to share a print of your own art🎨. So sorry for your heart ache. It was devastating to lose my beloved mom in 2000, and my dad 15 years later. Never too old to feel like an orphan😢.
You'll have to *preserve one of the biscuits* in clear resin and hang it in the chapel or string them for Xmas and hang them in the chapel over the holidays.
Excellent that Scotman was still there when you recorded this!...I am just transformed seeing that dress...what special people to send that to you...it was just made for you...YES exactly..if you wore this every day it would seem so appropriate to Lalande...My daughter had a period gown which she borrowed from a costume dept of Arts dept and she did look "fetching" for her grad prom a few yrs back...nice to see you all enjoying these cadeaux unwrapped sessiions; they are brilliant, & cannot imagine why but this vlog always makes me hungry lolTHANK YOU. xo♥
I have made art book like that for my daughters 30 birthday. I have placed everything in that book from the day she was born, tugs from hospital, Kindy and school, University, her little scrabbles , travel tickets , everything I could find and give her during party. She was checking each page with shiny eyes. This is the best memory gift.
You could use the wallpaper to make framed wall panels, maybe trimmed out with gold-painted picture moulding (as we call it here in the US). Or line the inside of a wardrobe/armoire.
It's like a birthday or Christmas celebration once a week and we all get to enjoy your excitement and bight lights. Thank you for filming these and for being so delightfully satisfying to all of your fans.
Stephanie: Your Grace looks lovely in that Gold Dress and Percy is in for a real surprise treat with Isabelle's new gloves :) - Wonderful video - thank you!
How special that children's author Jo Rothwell has sent a book...she doesn't address her stage 4 cancer diagnosis. .perhaps the proceeds from another gift opening can be sent to a cancer charity to honor her.
What a treat!! The dress!! the wallpaper! the books and the beautiful letters and notes what an outpouring of affection. 💕💕 best ending with Stephanie reading the tale of aloysius 🥰🥰 superb kind and heartfelt gifts. Stephanie gives every gift and note it’s due and thanks. That’s why we adore her genuine spirit. See you next time dear folk.
That gown is to DIET for!!!! I yearn to gather my costume of an 18th century Hussard and my little Phalene (only the dog fetish of Louis XIV) with wigs and fabrics and jump start your next costume party!!! Keep up the great work, your videos nursed us all through confinement and continue to enlighten and amuse our days through the seasons. You are doing what I have been wanting to do since I moved to Paris in '88 to work in fashion.
What lovely gifts Stephanie. I was look at your fathers paintings in each vlog you put out and they are so wonderful. I just lost my dad a few weeks ago so it moves each vlog to see your dads work. peace
I laughed so hard when Mummy scared Scotman with the gloves I cried & peed my pants. Your Vlogs are so entertaining. I love them. From St. Thomas, Ontario Canada.
That gown is gorgeous Stephanie, the underskirt is one of my favourite colours, and you suit the look well. The Aloisious story is so much fun. Even more fun that watching the lot of you try to move the sheep in the Spring 😉😂
The dress is just beautiful on you! I custom ordered the dress in your favorite colour. for your Birthday. Sorry for tne delay, as with the virus everything is at a snails pace as far as the post is concerned. Enjoy!!!!!
The Dress is Stunning. The embroidery extraordinary. Truly a treasure!
What a wonderful gift Alice. Stephanie looked beautiful in it.
Wow Alice u are so talented, what a beautiful and generous gift xx
The dress is gorgeous. so well made and perfect for Stephanie.
Gown envy.
Just woke up here in Australia to see Stephanie brilliantly read my Aloysius story. She has the most articulate and entertaining reading ability. What she didn't read out was my explanation for the very crude photoshopping of the pictures. My regular illustrator is busy painting another of our One Yelpy Kelpie books and so didn't have the time to do this one. The pics were accompanied with my notes to give the idea of what could be. Thrilled they enjoyed. xx
Bravo!!!!👏👏👏
Delightful book
That story was absolutely brilliant! 😁
Brilliant book! You should definitely have it published.
Fantastic book Jo. Thank you. If you ever publish it (please do 😙) please sign me up for a copy or two!
SUGGESTION:
With things being difficult at the time. I would like to suggest donating to the food pantries in France, Any Local food pantry.
France. In total, around 3.5 million people rely on food banks in France. One provider, the Banque Alimentaire has over 100 branches in France, serving 200 million meals a year to 1.85 million people.

Fabulous cookies!
The sac dress from Alice is wonderful!!🌟
It was just gorgeous
It's amazing that every dress Stephanie is sent fits perfectly. Maybe there's a bit of forward planning, checking out her size with Nati or the family in advance.
Megan, if you see this comment, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Love and light to you.
Yes Megan! I am so terribly sorry! Hope you can remember all the good times! Love and may happiness returns
I am very sorry as well.
Megan, sending you love ❤️
Absolutely, sending prayers to Meghan during this terribly difficult time. 💕
Sending you love and prayers. Your loss is so great and in it you are thinking of others. Blessings to you.
That story about the sheep should win an award
So funny.. I loved it 😂❤️❤️
Haha...that is what having too much spare time during lockdown can do! Thank you, glad you enjoyed my story. I am a children's author and publish my own books. This version was done with very rough pics, just to get the idea...our other books are hand illustrated in watercolours. xx
I would definitely buy that story to read to my toddler!! So beautifully written. 💕
The story was brilliant, I will be researching your other fine works of art :)
@@jorothwell7908 I thought the pics were wonderful just as they are! :)
How thoughtful of Meghan to send all those books when she has suffered such a huge loss.
GERALD IS PRECIOUS, HE MAKES ME LAUGH AND HAPPY😂❤️🌹😂🦔🍀☮️🇺🇸
Well done, superb show. I would never have believe that watching other people open present could be so much fun, Thanks you Si.
I was just about to say the same thing 😂😂🤗xx
I would use those hip baskets for snacks
lol, a la Napoleon Dynamite!
That is where my snacks go, my hips!
I’m fairly certain that’s where old fashioned pockets would have been hidden (tied around the waist). So perfect for snacks!
Lauryn Michelle Hilarious and creative idea! A lovely dress.
Brilliant idea!
Oh my gosh!!! It finally arrived ( I sent it in March)! I’m so happy you received your handmade book and that you love it it! Your response really made my day. -Tamara 😁
your book was exquisite!
Ava Grace thank you! You can see all the pages on my channel as well as other books I’ve made. 🙂
Excellent book!! 📖✏️

Your gift made me teary! What a beautiful note and a truly thoughtful and special handmade book.
I didn't send a beautiful letter with my package but I think it would be nice to put all the letters you receive in an album. A hundred years from now people should know what beautiful people owned and took care of the chateau.
That’s a wonderful idea!
Linda Bradley fabulous idea. ❤️
Stephanie can make a business out of recording audiobooks,,, a recording studio at La Land!!
I keep saying there is something grander on the horizon using either or voice or her historical knowledge or both. She would make a great Historical TV channel host
Yes, she has recorded an audiobook on her main channel as well!
🌻Stephanie does have a perfect voice for all sorts of professional projects.☮💛🌼
Maybe the old mill??
Oh my goodness that historical dress is a dream, I’ve alway wanted to dress like that when I was little, and I still want to now at the age of 19!
Aww you’re still little, my sweet! You will have a dress like that one day!! ❤️❤️
Dear Stephanie, I have watched you now since you began , it helped me so much to simply enjoy you, your friends and France. I am a widow and wondered if you would kindly consider a charity dear to my heart, Motor Neurone Disease, a little known, but awful disease, that my lovely husband died from, with grateful thanks, Kris
Much love 💞💞💞
That children's book rhyme was genius! It would be so much fun to draw illustrations for it! And that handmade book is absolutely delightful! I would love something like that
Me too
Love Gerry’s jokes, “Every one a gem.” I agree.
Gerry, you’re not an embarrassment to us🤪. Love, love, love your sense of humor. We love Isabelle too😘
My jaw dropped, then I gasped and then I had full body goosebumps! My lord but that is a beautiful dress and you do it justice Stephanie. What a magnificent present Alice. 💛💛💛🥂
I can't get over the magnificent gown you are wearing. When you aren't wearing it, it should be on display.
Perfect dress. Absolutely beautiful.
Yes in the entryway area or grand salin
The rustling noise of silk taffeta actually has a textile term: "scroop". Enjoy your gown & try to store flat with acid free paper & sachets to keep moths away.
Thank you, Hanni, for choosing Alzheimer's research. My mother was diagnosed in 1995 with early-onset Alzheimer's at the age of 51. Watching her struggle through that disease was awful. Anything that goes to research lessens the likelihood that this terrible disease will affect other mothers like mine in future.
Jana Miranda My mother also had Alzheimer’s and watching her progress through the disease was horrific. Thank you to Hanni for choosing this charity.
Wish we would see that incredible dress more! Stunning!
The wall paper can be used in the back of a wardrobe or. In a drawer as a liner💕
I have that wallpaper and I use it to cover books or special gifts for family and friends. 💗
Great idea
Yes, drawer liner was my first thought.
Judith Bisson I have it on my wall..love it!
Exactly what I thought
I will have to join in chat next time but 5am is not much of a chatty time for me. This was truly delightful.

Davey: They loved your quirky, colorful, fun pop art gifts👍. The candy was a big hit too. Very thoughtful & generous! ☮💛🌼
@@teresacarle294 Its a pleasure to support them and be apart of whats going on. with love Davey

Stephanie, your bubbly positive sprit lifts my mood every time i tune in! You really earn your keep, young lady.
The sheep book would be a fabulous item to sell, with funds going to charity, or for feed for the sheep. :-)
I am sure that Stephanie will reach out to the author about something like that. I have always thought they could start a merch store from Lalande!!!
I am so jealous of that spode biscuit container. It is stunning and i want one.
If you live in the US it's called the 200 Anniversary Biscuit Barrel & Lid
Blue Italian. You can find it at Replacements .com
@@Eric-kf6dy thank you!
@@amandalevy1227 Bought one for myself for my birthday here in NZ. Came from Peters of Kensington in Australia and they do ship to USA
They have them on Amazon.
@@sandiecavendish9722, they are much more expensive on Amazon but shipping could be a factor as well depending on where people live. I love the wicker handle the most. I have wicker chargers I use with my blue & white it really shows it off.

I can me been shouted at 🤣🤣🤣. 💝👨🎨💝. Hope you’re well Carnation.

That dress look so good on you hope Oliver will make a portrait of you with Lalande behind
Valerie what a brilliant idea. Wouldn’t it be wonderful. Made into postcards to buy.
The artist of the hedgehog print is so talented!!! I remember the hedgehog vlogs with great fondness.
The story of Aloyius is soo good!!!
Sharon's biscuits are exquisite!🌟
Scottman Gerry’s reaction to Mommy Isabelle’s prank is really hilarious…. Hahaha !!!

I am enjoying these gift videos so much. It is like sitting with you all for a special boliday or birthday...you make each day special!
Thank you for choosing Alzheimer's for the donation. I lost my Father to this disease...and he is sorely missed. Bless all those at LaLande!
You'll have to *preserve one of the biscuits* in clear resin and hang it in the chapel or string them for Xmas and hang them in the chapel over the holidays.
Great idea! :)
Apt215 Melissa Brown fabulous idea ❤️
I was thinking the same thing for the Christmas tree. MAYBE, Selmar would know what to use to preserve the Chapel biscuits. Just so lovely
Oh my god!! Stephanie! You were MADE for that dress!!
What a gorgeous dress!!! And I think I am officially in love with Gerald. He's absolutely charming.
The Robe de la francaise is just brilliant!! The perfect dress for Chateau living. The embroidery is just dreamy.
She looks fabulous in that dress, all the gifts are just wonderful, everyone that watches this loves it! Well, I do too.
Excellent that Scotman was still there when you recorded this!...I am just transformed seeing that dress...what special people to send that to you...it was just made for you...YES exactly..if you wore this every day it would seem so appropriate to Lalande...My daughter had a period gown which she borrowed from a costume dept of Arts dept and she did look "fetching" for her grad prom a few yrs back...nice to see you all enjoying these cadeaux unwrapped sessiions; they are brilliant, & cannot imagine why but this vlog always makes me hungry lolTHANK YOU. xo♥
Thank you so much Cornish 💝👨🎨💝
I have made art book like that for my daughters 30 birthday. I have placed everything in that book from the day she was born, tugs from hospital, Kindy and school, University, her little scrabbles , travel tickets , everything I could find and give her during party. She was checking each page with shiny eyes. This is the best memory gift.
Loved the poetry book of Aloisius!!! So lovely seeing lovely presents being shared out to all and Marie's touch of greenery too.
Gerry would be the best jester ever his jokes make me laugh so hard. Reminds me of my dad and his dad jokes.
Thank you so much Stacey, that’s a badge of honour 💝👨🎨💝
Laura Ashley was sold to Gordon Brothers in the US..in April 2020 UK liquidated
Oh wow I love the the children's book. I would love a copy. X
Yes I would definitely buy a copy too.
That book, Aloisius the Ram, is fantastic! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dear Megan, Sorry for your loss.
I love the children's book so much!!!!! If you have a shop put in eventually, you'll have to have copies made!!!!!!
You could use the wallpaper to make framed wall panels, maybe trimmed out with gold-painted picture moulding (as we call it here in the US). Or line the inside of a wardrobe/armoire.
Lining a wardrobe is an excellent idea! ❤
❤ That toile paper deserves to be the showpiece somewhere... front & center. Don't think the interior of a wardrobe is good enough.
There is probably enough to do both. 🙂
Teresa Carle you’re probably right. Yet it sounds like something Stephanie would do lol. Even a wardrobe must be beautiful at Chateau de Lalande!
It's like a birthday or Christmas celebration once a week and we all get to enjoy your excitement and bight lights. Thank you for filming these and for being so delightfully satisfying to all of your fans.
Awesome! Loved the story book about the ram!
Monika Stuckey Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Lalande was able to reprint it to sell to younger Lalande lovers. With the authors permission of course.
😍 O my goodness, what an incredible dress! A beautiful lamp. And now a Spode biscuit jar. 😍
The Spode biscuit jar is soo beautiful. Chosen to delight and it successfully did.
Loved it, again made me smile all the way through, love to all X❤X
Wow you look gorgeous and comfortable. So cooool

Terrific vlog! What a laugh. Now if we could only get that book published!
Everybody remained speechless when Stehphanie took a seat with that magnificent gown on... Oh... People are just so kind in this world.
Wow on dress!
I love how when stephanie asked, anybody ready for a story, they all got comfy, ready n leaned in so eagerly. 🥰
Lovely Lovely Lovely! great show. Love to Meghan for the loss of her husband.
I just got my very first piece of Spode! It’s just a travel mug, but it’s wonderfully beautiful! I love your cookie jar!
Tamara, your gift is beautiful and your words are so true. Stephanie’s vlogs have been a calming balm and a reminder to discover, create and play
Em Stewart thank you! It was a joy to make. I’m so happy that it finally found its way to its new home.
What a treat!! The dress!! the wallpaper! the books and the beautiful letters and notes what an outpouring of affection. 💕💕 best ending with Stephanie reading the tale of aloysius 🥰🥰 superb kind and heartfelt gifts. Stephanie gives every gift and note it’s due and thanks. That’s why we adore her genuine spirit. See you next time dear folk.
So love the giving to others and this is such a fabulous and unique way to give back !
Gerry, When you go to Mars, can some of us go with you? Wonderful video today I really enjoy every one of them.
The more the Merrier Sharon 💝👨🎨💝
I can’t stop clapping after Stephanie finished reading the book!!!
Mummy is always tryna squirrel things away to a, "safe place". 😂
That dress! Oh my goodness! That umbrella for Mary Poppins is so cute! I didn't know they made those!
That gown is to DIET for!!!! I yearn to gather my costume of an 18th century Hussard and my little Phalene (only the dog fetish of Louis XIV) with wigs and fabrics and jump start your next costume party!!! Keep up the great work, your videos nursed us all through confinement and continue to enlighten and amuse our days through the seasons. You are doing what I have been wanting to do since I moved to Paris in '88 to work in fashion.
What lovely gifts Stephanie. I was look at your fathers paintings in each vlog you put out and they are so wonderful. I just lost my dad a few weeks ago so it moves each vlog to see your dads work. peace
Loving this Monday with everyone here❗️
A very nice present opening! It is all awesome 😌 Hello..dear Gerry and mummy!!🧜👍🙆🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🧚🕊️
Ooooh, I just love that dress and the ram story was brilliantly written and so wonderful!
What a sweet handmade book by Tamara. Just lovely.
You give that dress a wearable quality..so beautiful!!
I laughed so hard when Mummy scared Scotman with the gloves I cried & peed my pants. Your Vlogs are so entertaining. I love them. From St. Thomas, Ontario Canada.
Those biscuits are absolutely beautiful. Talented and so kind.
The Aloysius poem is so good. Lovely. 😊
Aahhhh Stephanie, that dress is a masterpiece. Now you need a pair of American Dutchess shoes to go with that dress. 💖
That gown is gorgeous Stephanie, the underskirt is one of my favourite colours, and you suit the look well.
The Aloisious story is so much fun. Even more fun that watching the lot of you try to move the sheep in the Spring 😉😂
