- Buoyed by their success with Cocktail Corner, the inhabitants are filled with renewed renovating vigour. Philip starts transforming an old sofa, Cat cooks up a storm, Michael & Ryan set up an editing suite in the dining room and Marie embarks on a beautiful floral project. Meanwhile, Mummy interrogates Dan the Gardener about his years as a chef, and I spend a lot of time faffing with my hair...

Stephanie as a house painter for 13 years if you hammer down your paint cans very well TURN them upside down so the air doesn’t get in and you won’t get that hard film, smell & rust! They will last so much longer!!! Just a tip it goes as well for all your metallic paints as well because the air gets in when there not sealed properly this will harden your paint just a quick flip saves you lots of money!!
I thank you for the tip Maria ☺️
Oh, wow, that is a great tip, because I have had to renovate my house twice now, due to a major mishap with the water pipes. Thank you!
great tip!
Thank you!8
"Ah look, the windscreens steamed...can't go anywhere... too steamy"
" I've been standing here for 45 minutes!!!"
😂😂😂😂
Kat is a gem. She has natural comedic timing .....
She sure does. I love her one where she says about helping the boys pack but she does not want too. 🤣😂🤣😂
OMG.....did anyone else see Mummy jump a foot when Stephanie turned on the hair thing? lolol
YES
Only after I read your comment and did a rewind, lol
@@barbibutton9619 🤣😂😁🤣
Dan deserves more gifts. 🥰 🎁 🌱
Wagner Voss, Well technically they weren’t even for Dan, but his boys are so adorable. So yeah Dan and Annalisse (sp?) need some gifts.
@@annad3987 they've reached their GFM goal for the one project. His CZcams channel has been monetized, I don't think he's doing a Patreon. They seem to be doing okay for now.
We're super grateful for the boys gifts and our targets reached, we are on patreon 'escape to rural france' watching the CZcams ads is a huge support for us, thank you for your kind words everyone 😊
Was just the other day thinking the same thing!
It’s funny that they are creating a cocktail corner so they don’t disturb Marie in the kitchen. However, I’m afraid that they will now be bothering Nati while at the “office”.
Yes...thinking same. I know they don't wait til the closed "office hours" for making drinks. Worried Nattie will get moved elsewhere?
I was thinking same
Yes
@@gailcraig4495 they need a designated office space, away from the bustle of downstairs..i agree
I now totally want to see Nati drunk accounting...
Ok, but can we get Nati a real office now that you're taking hers over. hahahaha
Yes!!
HA HA Nati had me laughing so hard when she said all owners manuals are now compared to Mummy's Toaster Owners Manual. HA HA HA HA :-0
Dave has such a royal look... what a gentleman, i like him very much
He has a Mr. Darcy vibe
I think his accent also adds to that illusion.
I can't believe how big the pea chicks are! They grow so fast! Also, Kat, you are such a character. Never change.
Hope Kat never ever leaves LaLande
Yes!!! She's so funny!
Honestly I hope they never run out of projects. They’re so inspiring to watch.🍂
I know. Everyone has got the buzz for the Chateau de Lalande
Sarah Burton haha absolutely!
They have year's worth of projects a chattue is never truely finished
Jemma Dobby&Griffin so very true, there’s always something that will need doing
45 rooms? 60 acres? The lake, the mill, the pool. the attics? the gardens? The facade, the courtyard, Scott man's apartment? They'll NEVER run out of projects.
I LOVE KAT. She’s a damn delight!
YES
Damn right!
I love everyone of them but Kat and Hanni and Natti and Marie are so delightful. Obviously a Kat is such a treat, hilarious. Hanni I relate to so much, her personality, quirkinesses, and yet gentle loving spirit. Natti is just a constant joy, a competent, calm beauty. Marie’s obvious friendship grounds Stephanie and her cooking, creative florals and dry pithy humor are fun. Danna too is another favorite and of course mummy. I am sure I am missing some. I love to watch so much.
Can Kat tell us a bit about how she came to be at the chateau?
Dear Stephanie, it is clear to see each individual in your home, no matter how big or
small their purpose are there, what an enormous role each one is playing toward your growth,
your memories and moments, you might share in 20 or 30 years. Reminds me of Karen Von Blixen
rekindling her appreciation and love for her regular/not so regular house guests, friends she welcomed on her farm in Africa.
Consider yourself so blessed-- and lucky, very few have been given the opportunity you find yourself in currently!xx
Naty can flawlessly transform into a serious office manager and a fun, party girl. How is she so beautiful. Ugh. 🥰 fun vlog once again!
Yes Naty is adorable, ckever, classy and beautiful all at the same time.
I thought her name was Mattie and yes she is very cute
Please please keep kat! She is so so funny everyone knows someone just like her I'm sure. 😊
I agree - LOVE her!!
I sing that song that Isabell sang!. That was sweet to hear her singing that. it’s a good thing to remember to count your blessings name them one by one and see what God has done.
I love that hymn too and much needed in these times.
😁 Brilliant reminder to be thankful.🎶 Brings me back to memories of 🕊Sunday School...
I’m smiling through the whole video (again) even though I’m feeling poorly today. 😷❤️
Leta Carr ..I do hope your day improves😉Wishing you health and happiness in these crazy times💞🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺🕊
Leta I am praying that you feel better. I am so happy that you enjoy the videos as I too have pain and they are what helps me through. Blessings to you dear soul.
Feel better soon.
Me patiently waiting for Phillips formal introduction… ❤😂
It's official.....Kat is added to the list of people not allowed to leave La Lande! And....the next time Ryan is at the Chateau, both him and Kat need to work on a project together, while being filmed, it will such a hoot!
Yes. Ryan is so funny.
That’s a great idea 👍
Kat rules absolute lovely fun lady fantastic addition to the chateau,brlliant vlog Xxx
A trick for the paints! Paint a little on the outside of the can, then it's much easier finding the one you need at a later date!
Great idea!!!
My hardware store puts a dab on the label, so in case you don't remember the color name, you can see what it is by the thumbprint of paint on the label. (Of course, I have all my paints memorized that we've been using on my place, being the nerd I am. :p )
@@GalaxyRangerNiko 🤣😂🤣😂 Of course you do!!!
@@Jayrose59 I freely admit to being a huge nerd. *lol* My place is going to be filled with nerdy artwork when I get done. My living room has a Doctor Who poster above the TV and across the room above the couch, I have a five piece exploding Tardis print. :D
@@GalaxyRangerNiko Dont worry!! I dont have any Whovian memorabilia but I am a devoted fan. A friend lent me all their dvds including the black and white ones. I do like to be organised myself. I am generally a who dunit fan and especially love the english ones from the 1930s, etc eg agatha christie, dorothy sayers and our own New Zealand Ngaio Marsh.
The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality!!!! PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...and Spongebob!
I just realized, by the end of the hilarious departing of the boys I’m sat here smiling away on my own! I’m always so sad when Stephanie comes on to thank the Patreons. I just want it to go on and on and on! As always, a fab vlog! ❤️
This vlog was SUCH a hoot! Had a great time. What great chemistry this group has!
Too many cute people in one video.
Wish we could have Kat, Michael and Ryan with the La Lande crew all the time. Please don't ever let Kat leave! She is a delight and a perfect balance to Marie and Selmar.
You will look gorgeous with your hair its natural color with highlights! Guarantee you will look 10+ years younger!!! With a smile and positivity such as yours, beauty radiates from within.
I love the dress Mummy has on. She is adorable.
Stephanie, when you bought your Airwrap you should have been added to a Dyson mailing where they will send you tutorials. I was fortunate to have bought mine before lockdown and get a tutorial with a stylist.
To set the curl you need to use the cool blast shot- It didn’t look like you did this in your vlog (although it may have been edited out).
Love seeing the camaraderie you have in your chateau- Kat is definitely one of my favourite personalities, she needs to join Selmar in the never leave lalande category.
Mummy has a wonderful singing voice.
I Love Kat 😄😄😄😄
Me too..I love her style of humor.
I LOVE her! She’s wonderful and hilarious
Kat is a fantastic🤣😂🤣🥳🥳🥳💜🥰
Yes me too, she is lovely
Cat makes our day. Some days. Most days. Daily?
I’ve been told for 20 years that I have the best carrot cake that anybody’s ever had amongst our friends and people I have served it too. But mine has walnuts pineapple coconut and of course carrots! Then you make a sauce that you boil on the stove with butter baking soda and some Karo syrup and then you poke holes in the cake and pour it over and let it sit. this cake is so heavy and moist it’s delicious. you also put the cream cheese frosting on top.
I know that recipe with the pineapple, coconut and walnuts but i have not done the karo syrup, whew you would only need a little piece. 🤣😂🤣😂
Jill Scott Yes exactly it is very rich and moist but a teeny piece is all you need I end up freezing it sometimes if there’s a little bit left or I could pick away at it for days LOL
Sorry to see Davey go ! The goodbyes must stop ! :)
😂Yes, these farewells are rough.⌚His time went so swiftly too. Hopefully, they took careful📝notes of all Davey's 🌳landscape 🌱suggestions. Wish him all the best...🐞🖤🐞
I absolutely howled with laughter over the ending!
Love this episode of Michael Ryan Dan Selma And cat of course lovely marie.makes me happy seeing everyone together where they all started.
from head chef to gardener exstroardinar now thats a twist but has a house with an old bakery ...theres still hope for scones and gooseberry pie
Easiest way to grow your hair out is to colour it the same as roots (natural colour) and foil highlights - no painful waiting!
The red layer showing through the gilding on that lovely upholstered chair is called Bole or gilder’s clay. It is the base layer onto which gold leaf is applied during the process of water gliding.
Awe- I’m so InLove with LaLande and everyone there 💗
I think Isabelle and I both jumped when Stephanie first turned on the curler. ☺️
I've now watched the "Ah, the windscreen's steamed. We can't go anywhere!" 3 times and I'm still laughing. Saving this one for the next time I'm feeling blue.
I love Kat and Ryan.....fun, fun, fun.😁
I love Marie's smile. She makes everything beautiful wherever she goes!!!
Stephanie you will LOVE the Dyson! My husband bought me one as a gift recently and I now love the time when doing my hair ..... sooo quick and simple! 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for all your efforts with filming, we appreciate it all.
Janine
I am now enjoying the word whinging in addition to faffing around! 😆 CT, USA 🇺🇸
You are learning English English
Oh, oh oh! Don't forget their expression "welly it"
I just miss my French family. I feel so happy when i can join you every week. Too little but better than norhing.
Kat has easily become my favorite person in the diaries. I love her wit.
Cat has my sense of humour!! Love it!
Love Mummy’s song. I learned that one at a young age and it’s a good way to live one’s life. Count your blessings, name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done!
Seriously, Cat can NEVER leave. She’s freakin’ hilarious!!
Hey Stephanie have Selmar make you a larger top for your drink station... you could just lay it on top and enlarge your space.
That is such a great idea. I hope that Stephanie sees this idea.
@@Tony-InLosAngeles You are a jerk!!!!!!!!!!
@@Tony-InLosAngeles and by the way I meant it as a nice DYI - have done it to a few pieces of furniture myself .
I think Cat is so funny!!! OMG!
I have actual tears of laughter rolling down my face. The last bit with the boys leaving (AGAIN) and Cat! "Absolutely devastated" oh man. Thank you for the belly laughs!
all wonderful...Mummy is always surprising and joyful! ♥ another inspiring vlog...sorry Davy is going he is very talented!xo
Kat! "Absolutely devastated".
**dancey bop**
What a treat that was, all the words some people don't understand is just normal British banter!
Kat, you are hysterical! ❤️😂❤️🏰👑
Honestly I live for Cat
Oh, my grandmother (born in 1872) used to sing me 'Count your Blessings' as a lullaby. Thank you for the memory!
My grandmother (born in 1889) sang it to me as well.
Late 1800s. Grandmothers? Not great-grandmothers!? 🥂 Two ladies with outstanding genes who clearly hail from excellent stock! On top of that, you must take brilliant care of yourselves. 💜Brava👏. 🎉Speaking of blessings, those two things are also worthy of celebration❣
@@teresacarle294 Thank you, but just late marriages!
@@teresacarle294 yes, good genes. My father used to say that if anyone on the female side of the family died before ninety, the police automatically arrested the next of kin! Also, because of the two world wars, both my mother and grandmother had children later than was normal at that time. My mother was forty four when she had me.
My mom used to play a Tennessee Ernie Ford record on Sunday's in our house and he sang Count your blessings on the record. I thought of him singing it when Isabelle sang it. That brought back some memories.
Kat is fabulous. She needs to stay forever.
That goodbye was like our Henskens family goodbye - it goes on forever. 🤪😛
Hi brenda Gibbons I love the paddy caps on the lads x
Mary Kelly I was hoping to see her on camera but I guess not. 😞
@@claudettep212 She likes to stay behind the camera but there is a great chat with her and michael on his very first vlog
Kat needs to stay forever in Lalande. She is such a joy to watch
I laughed really really hard TWICE...I haven't laughed like that for more than a year. Thanks guys and dolls!
Never has a tray, been responsible for a redecorating a room. You all bring so much joy. Cat you are brilliant. Thank you all again for a wonderful need to my day. Take care All my friends at La Lande 🤗
it would be nice to see Brenda Gibbons just for once , since she features highly in the presents department..bless her.love to you allxxx
😊Yes, don't be bashful, Brenda. It's all 💕love💕 on 🏰Chateau Diaries⛲. You're clearly a lovely soul with all your thoughtful & generous giving🎁.
📲We'd enjoy seeing you in the thick of things. 🛃Unless you're on Witness Protection. For that, we would completely understand😘. ☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty
Kat, you have brought me so much joy to watch you. I only wish I could have been in your dorm room in school ! I would have never stopped laughing. Stephanie, please don’t let her go and give her some free reign on the camera now and then. Thank you for being all so wonderful. 🤣😂😘😘❤️❤️😂🤣
Hair hack : I use a little bit of Jojoba oil (2 peas size) on wet hair on the ends and it makes my hair all soft. And I normally have really corse hair. I learned that jojoba oil resembles the natural oils of our bodies and is thus best absorbed by nails and hair and makes it stronger. I concur.
Kat has such a cute personality😜
How can one video just uplifts your entire day.
Good evening from Bruges, Belgium 👋👋👋
That scene of the fellas leaving had me belly laughing 😂
I Just love Cat, she's hysterical ! her and Selmar I hope they never leave!
Absolutely flipping hilarious I laughed all the way through this vlog. Stephanie loves all her friends and what a blessing you all are to your fans. Brilliant.
Such fun! Yay for a catalyst piece that makes all sorts of things happen!
Are you remembering to make storage space for the necessary office items?
WHOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!! Brenda Gibbons!!! She is precious! What a lovely generous soul!
Ryan is a laugh and great addition to the party! 👍
What a wonderful guy Ryan is . Blessed with such wonderful warmth and kindness.
He is a lovely man, isn't he? I enjoyed his latest vlog on his channel "life of ryan" where he told us a bit more about himself.
What can I say? Just a really, much needed, fun time. Thanks for sharing.
You can make cuttings from the hydrangea leaves for free plants.
I so agree I want Cat to stay forever. She is so much fun. I need her in my life.
Nice to see the start of Dan and Ryan ❤
Kat is great. Love her.
The sofa is going to look stunning once finished. Love your hair Stephanie. Food goes straight to the heart, love all round. X
So much fun had in the chateau today always a joy to watch everyone in the vlogs.
What a riot of fun and inspiration of creative activity! Your videos just make me smile!
Love kat and ryan.
I love Kat’s humor
Cat is adorable and full of such sass! Love it
Enjoyed. Everything is looking fabulously beautiful, I love each contribution someone makes to restoring or beautifying LaLande. It truly is wonderful. Love to all ❤
Loved this Episode. Stephanie your hair looked amazing. You looked beautiful
Can they all just move in already so you can have them with you all the time? Kat doing "I would offer to help... but I just don't want to" made me giggle so hard. Love LaLande!
I LOVVVEEE UUUUUUU Stephanie!!!!!!!!!!! Your Vlog makes me very happy!!!!
As usual it's always fun at Chateau la Land! I love Ryan's nonchalant jokes. Lol! Totally relate Kat about baking principles I can only make Pavlova which is less technical. Perfect choice Stephanie for getting the Dyson Airwrap. Natty is too busy with work love that office area it's so cozy and I'm sure it' will look beautiful once it's done redecorating it. Truly looking forward my visit in La Land in the future!!!
So proud of you Stephanie, that you're growing your hair out! Your hair will be soooo much healthier! Good on you.👍
Kay is wonderful!! Another fun video. I love to meet all new people and hate to see then leave.
Loooove the hairdos, very Marie Antoinette style. Keep your smile with all, you bring joy to the day 🌞
love love loved it... So much activity.
That hairdryer costs more than my first car😱! I can see why Stephanie waited so long to buy it.👍🏻
Wow! I just checked the price and you're not wrong!!!
iwilitu it was a long time ago😂 1970s...not a Model T
@@bonniesteinke6624 😂LMAO. An older family friend bought a brand new🔴racy red🔴VW Bug for $2500 in 1978. Seemed a fortune back then.
When I got my learners permit a decade or so later, he taught me how to drive stick shift on it. He still owns the Vdub today. He'll take it out for local trips about town. 👌😉🤙
Teresa Carle I bet that car 🚗 is awesome!
4:30 I do like that song. It's been years but still fun !!
Kat is absolutely hilarious 😂 😂 😂 loved this vlog!!!
You all made me laugh so much at the end. Take care, be safe and God bless.
