    I am so glad I found your videos Stephanie, you're an absolute joy to watch and your home is beautiful. It is also a great comfort to find someone of a similar age making videos too. I have been thinking of giving up vlogging but if other people enjoy watching my videos like I enjoy watching yours then it is worth it for those moments of escape! Have a wonderful New Year. xx

    I don't know precisely what it is about your videos that I find so compelling but my chihuahua and I can barely wait for Thursday afternoon to watch "the Chateau Diaries". I usually forget the Sunday episode until I sign in to youtube from boredom and there you are to perk up our day. Duke comes running when I yell auntie Stephanie is on! (probably because of the treats he gets to keep him quiet...lol. again I envy your hedgehog collection!. I thought they semi-hibernated this time of year?

    Fabulous as always Stephanie 💛 Love that you are hosting a Photo Festival Celebrating Women - This is something which I passionately support and encourage. We have been created with such purpose & power. Over the years I have seen, that by creating a platform for ladies to embrace all their differences & celebrate their true worth - false fears and comparisons are replaced with joy and healing both physically and spiritually. Awesome. Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑SA

    Lovely video as usual🥰. I’m glad it’s not me trapping up all those stairs to bleed the heating lines, I have a hard enough time getting them bled on our two floors. The hedges are living in the lap of luxury “ I think we’ll winter at the palace this year, don’t mind the human servants, it’s so hard to get good help” . I wonder if they lived in the Chateau other winters and were just never noticed. Happy travels, I live in Nova Scotia which is basically New Scotland, and in Cape Breton it truly does look like the highlands of Scotland no doubt that’s what brought them to the name. They make whisky in the highlands here as well. There is still a lot of the heritage treasured. There is a Gaelic college where you can get your clan plaid or kilt made, learn the language, how to play the old instruments including the bagpipes, just to name a few things. There are Scottish festivals as well and lots of whiskey is consumed to oil the body to be ready to dance. Hope you get to enjoy some wonderful history while you’re there.🙋🏼

      Romance with the Past ; air can get in the pipes in a hot water heating system so you go to the last radiator and release any air trapped there. Your heat stops working well if there is air in the lines. Check out images of The Cabot Trail Nova Scotia,in autumn to see miles of beautiful trees with the leaves in brilliant colour. Also check out images from Peggy’s Cove , Nova Scotia to see what it’s like not far from where I live. It is beautiful country here and not far from the city of Halifax as well. 🙋🏼

    Super vlog with pigeons, costumes, food and hedgehog - make sure he doesn't end up in the washing machine please - how sweet! You need to revisit The Artists of the Chateau de Lalande re an interesting thing that happens at 5:01 pointed out by Brett Harrison and commented on. It would seem your father made a visit to you while you were talking about him. Think you will find it interesting and rather poignant given your take on the 'other side' and the Chateau history and experiences. Hope you enjoy Scotland - so beautiful! Don't forget to take some warm clothing this time!! Looking forward especially to that vlog - Highlands?

    I'm so happy that they're not live pigeons. I can't handle them. They make a mess everywhere and ruin historic buildings, eat too much and overpopulate major cities. That's one reason I like the countryside - no pigeons. In fact, I have a phobia to things that can fly. That said, those pics are absolutely charming and will look lovely at LaLande. Congratulations on curating a wonderful collection. Save those for the restored mill.

  • @50Street21

    You had me worried, Stephanie. When I saw the title with the word "pigeons" I immediately thought . . . are you awe of what kind of a mess you are going to have to deal with and how
    much squab could you possibly eat. My racing pulse has since subsided. Great video, yet again.

The real ones would roost in all the nooks and crannies of the chateau. and make more messes to clean up! We have so many here on our corn farm. Just wild ones. They do fly into our closed windows for some reason. They get stunned then fly away. Greetings from NZ

    Love your vlog. I was "infested" with hedgehogs for a while when I lived in Wimbledon. I thought there was one which came in to eat the cat food, and I put him out at night. I woke up one night to see a hedgehog trying to get in my bedside cabinet - there were two! That one had been living in the house for a while - the evidence was behind all the furniture in the lounge. Not true about the fleas apparently.

    I searched for and found a digital copy of Illustriertes Prachtwerk sämtlicher Tauben-rassen (the hyphen in the last word, although not on the cover of the German text, is necessary for finding the work) on the website of biodiversitylibrary. I tried to post a direct link in an earlier version of this comment, but UA-cam didn't accept that link. If one googles 'biodiversitylibrary' and then in the search bar at the home page enters the title spelled like in my first line, then one can find the digital copy. The work was created by Emil Schachtzabel (author's name is another option for finding the work), and published in Halle (Germany) in 1906. The digital copy was scanned in a resolution high enough to be reproduced on a printer in the original format.
