- We have the most wonderful week at the chateau, when Anders from Denmark arrives with two exquisite antique chandeliers which I help to clean and assemble. Also Lalanders are engaged in the timeless debate - to goat or not to goat 🐐

Goats are ADORABLE, but Kirsty is correct! If you want to keep your plants, don't get them. PS: Nick's parents wearing paper bags made me BURST out laughing!!
Hello dear how are you doing?
I mean if they have their own enclosure?
I say stick with the sheep. Where are they anyway and why haven't there been lamb's from your flock?? My experience with goats us they go where they want and they can climb and jump almost any fence. Just my opinion.
@@Godwinpounds4333 Why do you keep trolling for women here? I've seen you do this to at least half a dozen women, including myself. Go away, creep.
Anders is such a generous man. The chandeliers are stunning. Bravo
What a generous man Anders is to not only donate the chandeliers but to spend all of the time putting them together. They are absolutely beautiful!
A brand new garden and goats is a bit like electricity and water.... I'm with Kirsty. 🧡
I agree . Keep goats in pen if not you can say goodbye to a garden.🌹
If there’s a way to fence the goats inside the lake area that would be perfect. If you can’t do that then Kristy is correct, it’s either goats or the garden. The chandeliers are beautiful. Welcome back Marie, Hanni and Maria 😍😘
What about predictors
Yes, as a long time goat farmer- both diary and angora- DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are so beautiful BUT you need a NEW sturdy fence at least 6.5 ft high and EVERYONE must, under threat of death, MUST SHUT GATES! Apart from that, they are lovely and we have them for weed control- they love blackberries and anything you want to grow.
There is a saying : Making the ram the gardener...which means no good for the garden!
Goat Island! In the middle of the lake!
I’m team Kirstie! Unless you want/can contain them in the field with the sheep, nope!
NO GOATS!!! We must keep Kirstie happy. 😄lovely to meet Nick’s parents 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Baby goats are adorable but I am also a landscape professional, so I vote with Kirstie. Unless you build an escape proof enclosure all of those little plants you so lovingly installed will be gone. Kirstie rocks, by the way.
Love Pavlina's humor - "Yes, I am treated very well"! 😅
Goats! 🐐🐐Listen to the lady who has the experience to save your new gardens - let alone the kitchen garden. They eat anything at all just for the hell of it. Listen to Kirsty or live to regret it! 🥴
Very, very true, they look cute but are eating machines in reality.
SOOOO AGREE WITH KIRSTIE - the goats are so hard to control - you need HIGH fencing and no FREE roaming.
If you think the chickens and peacocks are annoying at times, the goats will be a nightmare.
You need good fencing with goats
Listen to Kirsty!! They will also munch on your hair and jewlery and your clothes in nano second.!!!
My neighbours had goats, the cutest things you have ever seen UNTIL they get near ANYTHING, plants, shrubs, dish towels, t-shirts, shoes !
Exactly!! Which is why I think Isabel is also not keen on having them
Lol. Can’t agree more. It’s true.
Goats are so cute when they are little but after a short time do things that make you want to eat them!!!
NO GOATS!!! Unless you fence them into their own area or you won't have any gardens left. 😢
We recently got baby goats. They are mini Nubian and Nigerian dwarf so they will stay really small. They have their permanent fenced in area and we also have a portable electric fence that is huge. We can move it from one place to another so they can clear different areas. We have lots of wooded areas that we want cleared under the trees.
So wonderful to see so many of the “old crew” back at LaLande, Marie, Maria and Hanny are a welcome sight. Hanny always lightens the mood with her antics. Treeguy Nick is such a sweetheart. I love that he didn’t want to disturb the bird’s nest. The chandeliers are an amazing addition. It is a testament to you that people want to gift you such beautiful things to add to the chateau. I love that it’s such an amalgamation of so many people’s contributions. ❤️
Hello dear how are you doing?
I love Hanny, she is amazing I always remember how she help Stephanie with the internet issues.
Goats will clear massive areas of weeds. But they don't like to stay in their fence.
So glad Nick considered the living arrangements of the baby birds and didn't cut down the pine tree just yet. Thank you, Nick!
He is a remarkable Renaissance man! I adore him! He is all about saving nature, restoring it, protecting it! Amazing man!
No goats, we need the gardens to grow 😁. The chandeliers are so lovely and beautiful. So glad that Maria and Hanni are visiting
So nice to see Hanni! I have missed her. No goats otherwise the garden will be gone. They can go over any fences or gates
Hannie's expression when she dropped and CAUGHT that huge bottle of champers was priceless.
NO to goats! If they get out of their designated area, your garden will be their private buffet. Unless you have loads of underbrush to clear, I'm with Kirsty
I also remembered why I lost my love of chandeliers lol. Cleaning fell to me
You can buy a spray to clean chandeliers available from Lakeland
Wow - Anders is a prince to bring such gorgeous chandeliers to the Chateau!! Happy Birthday Anders. ** The Larkin family DRIVING with paper bags on their heads had me howling with laughter. ** Incredibly impressed with Hanni's parkour skills and lightning fast reflexes! It would have been like the finish line at a Grand Prix if it had hit the floor! ** Amaury NEVER eating vegetables makes me laugh so much. ** Love to see all the favourite friends of Lalande back - Marie, Maria, Hanni, Nic...** Speaking of new lovely friends of LaLande, we want to keep Kirstie - so as cute as the goats are, I side with her on NO GOATS. Imagine if they ever got into the the walled garden, or the greenhouse?! Ask Davy if he is team goat. Nuff said! Another lovely vlog... Thank you Stephanie!
I agree Christine! those chandeliers are amazing..what an incredible gift to recieve!! I love anything with hanging crystals..I might have to share my candleholders with crystals in one of my channel videos! Who doesnt love a little twinkle and romance?
I really appreciate the vlogs coming back to the original spirit and vibe with all the vibrant personalities and bits of amusing and romantic daily life. I don’t get tired of the cup o’ tea in bed or the first look in the morning. I would absolutely love to wake up cheerful, and I’m taking note each time I see a cheery morning sequence. Love the chandeliers and the bits of how to clean. Excellent vlog!
Hanni dropping and catching the Champers, LOL!! Girl are we related?!? I can so relate to having that ability to totally slip up but also the quick reflexes to just keep ultimate disaster from happening!! 😂❤🎉
Unless you give them a fenced area in the field, you need to choose between goats or garden! Also who is going to look after them?
NO GOATS😱
Everyone has worked too hard on reviving LaLande gardens.
Yes, they would need good sheds to survive the long winters.
No fence will hold a goat, no goats
Not only the garden but around fountain and around church disastrous
My husband was raised on a farm. He said goats will eat anything.
No to goats, Isabella's garden will be eaten up in days! Wait till you have the lake restored then you can have fish and Swans and ducks!!!
My dear Lady: I’m at a loss for words. Every time I watch I rejoice in your success and good fortune. It is no surprise that such lovely people gather around you like planets revolve around the sun. I’m so happy for you. What makes your show so special is the cast of glorious people that are pulled into your orbit. I’m elevated by your content and your lovely programming. ❤️John
Agree
Magial place
Omg the poor bird, I have a parrot and birds don’t fly in the dark (unless it’s an owl), I’d have left the window open, gone to bed and cleaned up any poops in the morning rather than frighten it so, that could have killed it. The chandeliers are absolutely beautiful, thank you and Happy Birthday Anders 🎂 you should have worn your little tiara all night, it suited you 😇. Good to see Kirsty’s partner was available to help with the carrying of the chandelier oh and well caught Hanni 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 . ❤❤
Hello how are you doing?
It is so nice to see Hanna, Maria, and Marie back at the chateau.
The two chandeliers brought by Anders are stunning, each breathtaking. What a perfect addition that adds another level of regal elegance to the rooms of Lalande.
I agree Michael, they are stunning! I make videos of treasure hunting at antique shops and estates and I just love sharing anything with dangling crystals!!!!💜
Goats are excellent escape artists. We lived in the country and a neighbor's daughter raised them. They were always escaping.
Your chandelier man was so excellent. Really knows his business. I think the dark edges of the lampshade will look great when all is complete. Just lovely.
I'm with Kirsty. Goats are cute but they eat everything! You're investing so much in the garden, it would be a shame I they got into it.
Kirstie is knowledge. Without strict tending, there goes your new landscaping.
The chandeliers are simply stunning. don’t know why but I personally think the chandeliers look better without the shade’s - maybe because they look more like candles that way and the light gets more reflected in the glass
I agree. I have to say I thought the second lot of lampshades were awful with that black leather or tape or whatever. Still amazing of the guy to bring them and set them up properly.
Yes. No offense to the kind guy who did all that hard work. The shades are lovely but when they first lit up the chandelier without the shades my heart fluttered from its beauty.
I agree about the shades. They hide too much of the chandelier.
The skill, thought, care and generosity he put into these chandeliers is mind blowing! That he considered the masculine colour palate of the winter salon, along with the fabric designer and thoughtfully included aspects of the fabric he knew Stephanie would identify with. Superb!
@@okinsunshine Well said. Thank you.
The chandeliers are stunning and brought by such a kind and thoughtful man. What a treasure
The chandeliers are the most perfect chandeliers I’ve ever seen this so stunning
No, to the goats because Kirsty has enough to do maintaining the garden. Also, even if they are fenced off, invarably someone will leave the gate open and the goats will escape and decimate le jardin anglais.
Kristy is correct. I vote nay for the goats. Very destructive. Also, between chickens and peacocks in the kitchen and birds in bedrooms, I think the chateau needs window screens and screen doors. ❤👍😁
or baby/dog gate downstairs
Don't forget about the pesky chateau flies.
@@JW-kh9bm and bats....but I believe Stephanie thinks they are cute. Not me however! 😯
No to goats!!! They are wonderfully full of character, but they know exactly which are your most prized plants and will destroy them in a flash. You may think you will have them well fenced or controlled, but they always find a way.
The chandeliers are stunning! The only people who have the right to vote "yes" on getting goats are those who volunteer full time to: feed, change fresh water, trim hooves, deworm, and generally care for the up keep of the damage the animals will do, as they get out of their enclosure. Chickens, peacocks and a cat are sufficient.
If I’d known you were gonna play the Champaign drop clip 3 times I wouldn’t have replayed it 4 times before you! Lol! I would expect no less of a catch from a girl who can scale a window like her from the outside so effortlessly! ❤️☺️💕🤣
😆😂👌
No to the goats as a goat person they are very destructive and hard to keep fenced when they want out.
I totally agree that you can have either goats or a garden. Cute as they are, they are escapologists.
With the price of petrol, it was an equally amazing gift if Anders hand delivered the chandaliers to the chateaual the way from Denmark.
Absolutely, no goats. They eat everything, they eat everything. Including convertible tops, lawn chair cushions, flowers, plants, umbrellas, etc. If it is chewable, they will eat it.
No to Goats from personal experience. You can not care for them like sheep! They are smart and will constantly get into trouble there because no one will have time to monitor them every day.
My goodness I'm surprised that poor bird didn't take a heart attack with Philip going at it with the brush.
I had two goats. Endearing and beautiful creatures. But way too much work and Kirsty is right about eating all the plants. I think Philip needs a dog 😁😁😁
Nick's parents must have a great sense of humour to agree on wearing brown paper bags. Anders: how many hours (months) did you spend on restoring those beautiful chandeliers? Chapeau!
since I'm retired, it's more of a hobby and something that I can put away and go to. As well as looking for the right places for loose parts and the time-relevant prisms. So time I call quality time.
@@AndersBu And quality it is! With a capital Q. You also must have a very patient character, to keep looking for lost or broken parts. The result is breathtaking and thank you for sharing this. Kind regards from The Netherlands :-)
My no-fail method for catching and releasing birds that have gotten into the house (our cats used to bring them in through the kitty door so we have a lot of practice!) is to use a butterfly net and a feather duster made of real feathers. Cover the bird with the feather duster and it will calm down because it will think it is it’s mother. Really! Then gently slide the butterfly net under the bird and duster using the duster to cover the bird and net and take the whole thing outside. We have done this many times.
Thanks! I usually have my daughter catch it with her bare hands-she’s extremely gentle.
Brilliant
Flapping towels where you don't want the bird to go also works.
I choose gardener over goat! :)
The chandeliers were the most magnificent I’ve ever seen! What a wonderful gift from Anders. Great to see Marie back…what a cook! And adorable,nimble and quick reflexed Hanni! No to the goats if you want a garden!
From chipping trees to pulling weeds, From assembling Chandeliers and wearing Tiaras. I loved every minute down to the birthday cake with a candelabra. How apropos!! Well done Stephanie and cast!
No to goats, they ear EVERYTHING, and know no boundaries!
The chandeliers are gorgeous! Anders is so generous with his time and craftsmanship.
Awesome 👌 chandeliers!!! Anders is a wonderful person bringing in those 2 amazing chandeliers! Amaury, he's "The Man!"
Amazing how almost everyone that comes volunteering in Lalande keeps coming back! Magical Lalande, indeed!!!
You are of course, the main key for its continuing sparkle, Stephanie! Glad to see Hanny back!!! Whoa!!!
The kind uncle ghost that returned from heaven does a great job! What the medium said was true.
✨👻✨ happy lovely ghost.
Goats eat everything we had a goat and it ate our clothes on the line and all our vegetables in the garden. They can climb too so think long and hard about having goats. Love, love, love the Chandeliers by the way
Awww!!! such progress!!! yes interesting! Oh my god Stephanie, the chandeliers from the young, yes I said young man is so precious!!! So wonderful!!! Have a wonderful and blessed week. Happy Birthday to all in May.
Anders seems like a such a precious, generous soul!!
I'm so glad she was able to catch the bottle before it hit the floor. That would have been a horrible birthday gift for him if she hadn't.
How fitting....the chandelier candles on Anders birthday cake......spot on!!!!
I absolutely love seeing all the faces of lalande past that have returned in the past couple of vlogs. This is extended family has reached so many and we can’t thank you enough for sharing it with all of us.
I’m definitely team NOT GOAT unless you have absolutely impenetrable fencing at sufficient height. Kirsty, I would put a padlock on that walled garden for sure if goats arrive😂😂😂 Our local goat farm has fencing like Fort Knox!
Also, so glad Hanni is back. She is a delight.
Elusive Nick’s father saying his father wore a bag on his head made me LOL, and then driving with the bags on their heads also. Steph, I think the chandeliers look better without the shades. Just my two cents worth.
yes I agree on no shades
rgrndu I like chandeliers without shades too. I might like them if they were glass or crystal too.
The shades took away from the beauty of the crystals!
Maybe you can borrow goats to eat all of the stuff in the lake bed but they will destroy all of your beautiful plants if they can get to them. So happy to see Hanni and Marie! And to have Maria back is wonderful too. Anders is such a lovely gentleman and the chandeliers are amazing! I can certainly see the family resemblance between the elusive Nic and his elusive parents.
You must open another window for a cross current to allow a bat or bird escape.
The chandeliers are truly divine.... I think the Wedgewood room deserves to get a nice one as well. Both looked amazing in there, against the blue.
The one that was removed from the dining room could move to the Wedgewood room, couldn't it? I'm sure Stephanie has a plan!
That is exactly what I was thinking too. The Wedgwood room is so light and elegant and beautiful when compared to Marie's bedroom which looked too busy and overwhelming. Its the wall paper.
No goats in the garden, they will eat your plants alive 🤣🙌
The chandeliers are fabulous, what an amazing gift from Anders. Great to have Maria and Hanni back, my guess is she will be reminded of that very nimble champagne catch many, many times! Marie and Philip with the trapped little bird brought back memories of the time, many years ago, when we had a small bush rat in the house... exhausted by 2am, with the all the French doors open, house ablaze with lights and armed with the garbage tin lid as a shield... plus brooms in hand, we were caught by the garbage collectors - with front row seats, they must have thought we were crazy! 😂🦘
Tree guy Nick is the human form of Animal the Muppet! He's hilarious 😂
Baby goats are so cute but I have to agree with Kirsty
Anders craftsmanship and generosity is awesome!
ANDERS, ANDERS, ANDERS!!!!! FANTASTIC ANDERS! Cheers from Toronto!
My mind is blown by the beauty of those chandeliers! 😍
Really loved seeing how to clean the chandelier crystals and how to bend the wires to safely attach them! Thank you, Anders!
Please, no goats! I have never seen such beautiful chandeliers before. They have happily found a wonderful chateau to shine in. Nice to see some familiar faces and the bag heads-LOL. Delicious looking meal and a stellar save by Hani. Thanks Stephanie🙏🏻❤️
Stephanie Jarvis up early and in the garden weeding! And with a cup of COFFEE! Amazing! Wonder what Mummy thinks of this transformation? 😂😂😂
No goats please. Kirsty is right. Goats eat anything and everything including socks hanging up to dry. They have no discrimination at all and eat the strangest things. You already have sheep which are far less destructive. Why don't you get moorhens and golden carp for the moat instead? Plant water lilies. Once the lake is ready you can get swans and ducks.
Those chandeliers are magnificent. So beautiful. How kind of Anders to bring them and I could see how much you enjoyed putting them together and cleaning them.
I just want to comment on how nicely you ask us to give a thumbs up if we liked it at the end. Too, many vloggers order us to do so at the start of the vlog before we have even had a chance to see the vlog and decide if we like it. You do it at the end in a very gracious way.
OMG Hany's face when she miraculously caught the Champagne! Go girl!
The chandeliers are absolutely stunning, what an amazing gift and addition to the chateau.
Would love to say yes to the goat but scared that it might ruin the plants, unless it would be well away from them.
(Moira Ashton) Another great vlog, please DON'T have goats- they are adorable BUT WILL EAT EVERYTHING !! The chandeliers are gorgeous, And WELL CAUGHT Hanny- that was Clever, I've watched it over and over, 😁😆😅😄xxxxx
Stephanie you have so many funny guests this time, Pavlina and her “reading from the palm of her hand” to “ they are starving us” … ( so funny) to Hanny dropping then catching the bottle of champagne, to your cousin the handsome handyman of all times, and the “bagged” parents, very very funny. Never mind the fabulous chandeliers.
Oh my heart! My love for chandeliers just grew exponentially! Those 2 are beyond stunning!! I'd like to hereby insert every fantastic descriptive word there is to describe those beautiful things! Just...WOW. Anders, you are a special man! Welcome back to all the lovely ladies, too!
How lovely Anders is 💓
I completely love the new chandelier in the dining room, and definitely the dining room is the first room to deserve a Chandelier Upgrade👍🏻, but I have to say I was quite disappointed to see it leave the Wedgewood Nook😥, because it turned it into a spectacular Jewel Box of a room; it literally looked like it was made just to top off that room.
YES
The chandeliers are fabulous. What a grand gift! Happy Birthday, Anders!
I had a bird in my house this week! I ordered a cheap butterfly/bird net from Amazon and two days later I got the bird. I kissed him on the head twice and released him or her and he/she comes and sits near me when I sit outside. We are friends now. And I had a goat and he came into my house and chewed the edges off my record albums. Beautiful chandeliers.
At the rate Lalande is going, we are running out of expression 😅😅...Fab!!...Fab!!. ...just simply FABULOUS!!😘❤
So good to see Hanni back I was wondering how she was doing. Anders WOW, chandeliers are amazballs. So happy to see many old friends returning for visits too. Thanks everyone for smiles from 🇦🇺🐨🦘
Wow those chandeliers that Anders brought is absolutely stunning. Soo beautiful.
No goats!!! Team Kristie here 😉
Hanni and Marie, welcome back!!! You have been missed because you make life so enjoyable. Hanni almost dropping the champagne, and Marie trying to get the bird out of her room, made me laugh. Indianapolis May have the race, but La Lande has
My first flash when you said possibly getting goats was them eating the newly planted garden area by the chapel slope
Just wow! Hani back🥰🎉, two beyond words gorgeous chandeliers-just too marvelous a gift to believe. (When saying to replace the light above the pool table I had a slight heart attack as we have a pool table and the “shots” that have hit it by inexperienced players gave me a heart attack. Thinking the destruction one ball could do.) Today was pure joy! Vote “NO” for goats-they eat EVERYTHING-everything!
i literally fell off my chair when i saw Nick's parents!!! This is one hilarious family!
Chandeliers are gorgeous! Nicks parents with bags on their heads, too funny! And driving!! That was so good!
No to the goats! Let the existing animals thrive!
Hello how are you doing?
What a perfect episode: stunning, stunning chandeliers, Hanni, Marie and Maria, an epic escape from a shattered champagne bottle, a freed bird, everyone in paper bags and Amaury's shave. There you go, awesome.
Goats love to eat gardens...The chandelier man is AMAZING!!!
WHAT A SHOW - so so glam - of course. Loved seeing Marie, Maria and Hanie back too. What a team❤️❤️❤️
So glad they are back
The family resemblance in Nick’s family is absolutely uncanny! Still smiling from meeting them. Welcome back Hanni! Was just thinking of you the other day wondering how you were. Love the summer hairdo. Love goats but.... Yep, they eat everything. We had one that opened a door into the house and ate an ivy that covered a three foot round table. Mother was not pleased. Chandeliers are amazing. You do need a long handled net for catching flying and other fast things inside and out. You have Hanni for 🍾. Thank you for the laughs. 👩🏻🦳
We had goats the first years we lived in Bulgaria. We not have them anymore.
The milk is real beautiful specially with curcumin and black pepper.
But if you want milk they have to make a baby so you gone not have milk the whole year rond.We had help from me Bulgarian family because they knew how it works.
But its allot off work. if you want to have them in the garden they can't walk freely because they eat everything. Before winter starts you have to buy alot of food for them. We sold them because it's to much work. The people who shouted yes let them clean the shit for 1 month then ask them if they still wants to have goats. Ps they not smell very good
Those lights are the most beautiful that I have ever saw WOW!!! Enjoyed the vlog Thank you
What a wonderful man Anders is and many good wishes for his birthday....also a no regarding the goats ❤
