It's nice that you and Gerry tackled the clear out together. He understands the things that make you sad and knows just what to do to lighten the mood while still respecting your memories. The ideal elder brother.
except he isnât đ
â@@GillDunn-ch6qg you mean he's not her bio brother. But that's by the by as he has had the role of brother of her heart for most of her life. If thats how they see thier relationship no one else has a say in it. And we WILL respect that.
Yes, indeed! So, I'd like to remind Gerry to start the parting song from 'Sound of Music' with 'So long' then he'll get it right... đâșđ
..."So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye! Adieu, adieu, to you, and you, and you!" đ¶ @@tinaclarke704
That is the first photo I've seen of your Father. I think we are all fascinated to hear his story because of the beautiful art he created. I would also like to here more of Jerald's story. Two very important people to you.
Yes and Yes please.
Is Jerald Stephanie's half-brother?
Isabelle said : Gerry adopted us before Stephanie was born. When he was a teenager he became close to Stephanieâs parents because they were kind and welcoming to him.
@mireille4751 ah OK, I know she calls him her brother but wasn't sure.
Marie is the magician in the kitchen. She is so well organized and makes everything seem easy, even though we all know it isn't. Confidence is written on her face!
Yes, I think Marie has found her forte along with her beautiful flower arrangements.
Itâs amazing that someone can be so good at two completely different things! Food and flowers! Marie is a treasure!
@@ankiking Not surprising, her attention to detail and her temperament align perfectly to being a great chef!
I am with Marie I want order and silence when I prepare food.
Isn't it wonderful that Stephanie has given her this chance to work at this wonderful Chateau â€
Gerald is a lot of fun watching, so happy.
MICHAEL IS GOING TO WANT THE DRIVING GOGGLES.
I love a good rummage around,clearing out finding treasure.I end up on the bed looking at photos with some random hat and a scarf around my neck.lolI love Jerry he's such a bright light of a man.
Love when Geraldâs around â€
Gerry was hilarious during your attic sorting. That mask was too much. đ
Stephanie you are Blessed to have such a supportive and Loving Family all around you!!
Only a true brother and sister do share such love. God bless you both. â€
I love how fun Gerald is with you. đ
Love how sheâs always trying to sort thru cluttered/un-used rooms. So relatable. đ
Right đâ€
I know. I can barely keep up with three. Such torture. đąđ
Jerry cracks me up. Dancing and joking.
And then in a huff, Lancelot took his ball & went homeđ!!! â€
It looks like you have found your "Room of Requirement". Sorting through old family stuff can be emotionally draining. Good luck. Marie is working her own wonders in the kitchen. đ
You should tape your dad's paint test sheets on the back of the actual paintings.
But only if you use acid free tape!
đđđđđ Gerry absolutely cracks me up
Wow looking at dads things especially his brushes was breathtaking and emotional even from the outside †hugs to you
Parting with family treasures is very difficult and you can only do it when you are ready. Little by little you will get it all sorted. Marie has her hands full with patron day preparations, may the force be with her. Thanks Stephanie and Philip. đšđŠđâ€ïž
EACH time...I just can't fathom how we will manage whennl Gerry leaves again...he is like sunshine in a monsoon. Wow I had a phone similar even in 1990's!!! you are all a blast of energy â€
Soccer footwork turned clogging- only at LaLande! That was fabulous, Gerry
Wow. Mummy. Stunning!!! Thank you Gerry for bringing joy and so much spirit. Love seeing Hanni. And Marie the prep for Patron days, you got this! Can't wait to see your sous-chefs.
Thank you so much Stephanie for sharing your days with us.
Mummy looks like Princess Diana đž â€
Yes- I thought the same thing!
8:39 / 17:48 Yes.... I agree. Should be framed.
The French version.
Yes! Can we bring back tye hairstyle? I love it.
I thought that toođ
GĂ©rald is so funny with his good sense of humour ! I particularly like the alien mask đâ€
Stephanie I so appreciate you sharing some of the family photos and items with fond memory attachment. I was super close to my Dad as well, so I shared a few tears along with you. *hugs*
Loved it, love a good old clearing. Iâm poor at clearing as I get distracted too and get lost. Gerald is gold, love him, everything is funnier with sweet Gerry. Love your dress Stephanie. Hugs and hugs to Hanni. â€
That was so lovely⊠In that thumbnail picture, Isabelle looked so much like late Lady Diane, I think⊠đ
Itâs a joy to see the bond you have with Gerald, as a brother. My brother and I have always been very close too, but then I lost him when his partner didnât want to share our parentâs inheritance with me, long story short.
Marie, youâre a professional, but even beyond that. A professional cook with an artistâs influence, you go girl! đȘđȘ
Thank you so much for all the joy! đ«¶đđ«¶
Gerry is such a sweetheart â€ïžâđ„
He's such a lovely older brother
Happy times before the Patreon Days! I love it. Everyone is in high spirits. It's contagious. â€
I loved your and Gerry's attic treasures. Very heart wrenching memories of your dadâ€
When you do take time to look at the photos, would you share some more with us? I LOVED seeing the old photos and hearing the story behind them! More please!
I am living in a 300 year old house and we have a never ending clearing out! But we always say itâs like remission of sins every time we go to the recycling area!
Good luck with your clearing out and thanks for the inspiration â€
Oh my goodness, you found the lost costume stash!đź
How fun digging thru the attic treasures with Gerald đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđđ
At this rate Steph you will be keeping everything đđđđ
Loved this video of you and Gerald going sorting through bags in the attic. Heâs hilarious. What a brilliant childhood you have a castle load of memories â€
Loved this video!!! Memories and stories in the attic.. So enjoyable, so funny too! Gerald is such a card :) (ie funny)
Love watching you guys⊠Seriously⊠Gerald is magical. What a burst of light and joy! And heâs in such good shape, God bless him!
I wish we could see some high resolution copies of these photographs (and more). They are delightful! âš
So hard to go through family treasures and photos, so easy to get distracted. Really glad you had Gerald there to help you get through things and to lighten the mood. He knows you and has shared memories. You all are such a whirlwind when you decide to get something done...teamwork makes the dream work. Love you all, look forward to your videos đ€©đđ
âCan I have some toilet tissue please? And can you hurry up?â đ
What a treat, such a glorious group of la landers!! đ„°đđ
You are so lucky, Stephanie. The family and friends surrounding you and supporting all your endeavors! This is what makes La Lande a success !
Loved the family photos of you and your Dad. Must show us more.
Hanni is so adorable!!
One of the best parts of my day. đŠ
Stephanie your dress is very pretty. đŠ
Your Father looked a very Charming man thank u for showing us so many memories . đ„°.
I would love to see more of your photo albums!! I love old family photos!!
Attic finds still in good condition could be gifts to Patreons on the Day.
Stephanie, your mom (in the thumbnail pic) looks a bit like Lady Diana. Both beautiful.
always a joy to watch Gerry
Funny how there's always one more room to clear!đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I was hopeful that you and Philip and Lancelot would do a tour of Chateau De Montmagner. I would LOVE to see what history you learn about the place for your other channel. I know youâre all very busy, but would love to see it from all 3 of your perspective. Please think about it.
Lancelot looking at Gerry like, "What the heck is this guy doing?" đ Definitely keep the hat & the googles. I always say, keep all costume possibilities. Oh, no, don't get rid of the negligees! A shame about the green belt, it matched your lemon outfit perfectly. Lovely old photos. Love the bird song.
So nice to see you all. You were the best part of my day!!!!! Love to allâ€â€â€â€
Looking forward to the Patreon Days! We are in the area already. Good luck with all the preparations. I saw on Marie's insta that she has the serving plates figured out already too. Fun times ahead!
Too much fun to be had. Choosing Gerald was spot on.
The scream I let out when I saw Gerry with the mask on!! THANK YOU for the laugh, I truly needed it :D
It was fun to see Stephanieâs childhood pre-chatelaine photosâŠ.And thank you for showing the photo of your father in his younger days as well. After hearing much about him from you, it was nice to create a visual connection with him as someone who was such an important and loved figure in your life. Also have to mention that itâs always a pleasure to see Hanni back as one of Lalandeâs charismatic cast of characters.
Stephanie and GeraldâŠâŠgreat job on clearing out some clutter. It makes you feel sooo good! Iâm doing the same in my house. I made a list and little by little Iâm going through stuff. Now StephanieâŠâŠ.regarding your fathers art supplies, do NOT get rid of them. Put all of his art supplies in a plastic binâŠlabeledâŠ.and at some point in time you or even Phillip may take up painting. That is the kind of stuff to keep. đ¶đđ·đ
Gerald and Lancelot!,, â€â€đ„°
Really need to have someone scan all those old pictures into a computer before they turn to yellow and faded!
Hello Stephanie, I love watching your dreams come to life. And you're laughter is contagious đ đ
Stephanie you should attach your Daddy's paint swatches behind the relevant paintings. Such a lovely memory :)
Jerry Indiana jones had me going! Lol!!
Love Mummyâs Princess Di haircut in that picture! You are darling!
You make the vlogs, that I always look forward to see. Sometimes I save it for a while to get the full impact. I love your vlogs
When I was working on a collection for Louis Vuitton they made us all take turns to have a massage and I still remember how great it was.
I love seeing your Father's paintbrush roll!
Hannie looks so good in her new glasses. I just love it when Gerald in in the house, he is so great. He is handsome and quick witted and so talented in DIY. Best brother ever!!!
Gerald is such a colourful character full of beans. Love his accent.
I have one of those french phones!
Gerald is funny stef ,what a wonderful way to start the day sending lv Ann uk đŹđ§đŹđ§đŹđ§â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Another secreted room! And such memories. My brain wants to clear the cupboards and only put your families memories in there. And the Chateaus records. The plans, drawings, paperwork of before and after the many resorations and repairs. An archive if you will.
Very emotionall going through all the old things. Well doneđ€
The birdsong is the best đđđâ€â€â€
Yes it is..nature wins hands down.
I couldnât help but think that phone would be great in a âescape room challengeâ but chateau style.
Just another beautiful day at LaLandeđ»đŻđČđ„
I love to see Gerry, he is always fun. x
Good to have Gerry as you filter the memory boxes đ
I would be in tears over my father's stuff. As I am a landscape painter, may I suggest either putting your father brushes under glass for a small museum one day or giving them to Oliver to use now. †Love
Would be fun if you had a "time Warp room" or "Chateau Originals" room that had the old TV, the Old phone, and a very 1970s feel. Would actually be quite a nostalgic hit with many guests.
It would be lovely if the priests room could be transformed â€
You and Gerry are the perfect two to tackle all that sentimentalityâŠâ€
Fun! I went to a chateau once who had a massive basket with funky hats etc. In it and after dinner with drinks theyâd say â have at it the basket holds your fun selfâ we all dove in and laughed all night wearing fun attire: put them back and now I add to it when I visit fun fun fun!! đâ€ïž
You and Gerald look like youâre teenagers in your momâs and dadâs attic! I could just see you two together, rummaging through treasures and pretending youâre off on a real adventure!!
Gerry is so funny! Well done a good variety!
Mummy was, and still is, a stunning woman.......Sandi xđ„°
Mummy looking like Lady Diana.
She really does!!
I was thinking the same thing!
I had to double take because I thought that she was Princess Diana as well!
I thought so too!
That's who I thought it was lol
What if you make an envelope of the paint colors your father chose for specific paintings, any notes, etc. and attach it to the back so it will always be with it.
Love the forest walk. Great job clearing the attic gerry and stephanie
Iâve watched you for so many years now that I feel like I somehow belong there. I adore you all so very much. For some reason, your fatherâs paint brushes made me quite emotional. It reminds me of when I came across my old dadâs Masonic memorabilia. â€ïžâ€ïž
The attic room would be a lovely secret snug
Steph, Philip et al. You can change a cloudy day to a sun shiny day in a second. Full of happiness and fun. Love you all. Cheers from Nova Scotia
I love that Ausi cowboy hat!
Hello from California. The recent visit to Hampton Gardens was pure eye candy.
The attic was really touching. And I loved the bird song in the forest.
Gerry is on top form today!
So happy to see Hanni again after so long đ
Marie truly is quite a wonderful cook and doing it with style! Gerald and Stephanie are perfect sister and brother , and am sure when little they may have had moments, but they still have so much love and respect for each other.
In the vlog when cleaning attic, I saw picture of Stephaine's dad ,and he was very handsome, I know she is very proud and wil nevr forget. Wishing he could be part of it ll and am sure he is in spirit! Now Percy is there and ready, willing and able,to do what he can, and he loves mummy greatly too!
Gerald is a great big brother, and always will be! The family is so happy ath the table and relaxing and gettng ready for the soon to come Patreon party! So many guests coming some more of family you might say. Am sure this will be so much fun and glad I can be, sort of with you all!
SO glad Percy is well enough to travel again! â€â€
