    I literally cried when I listened to Michael’s last post. I’m so very sorry for the hurtful terrible things that have been said and the way Micael has been treated by they who shall not be named. (We know who. And we’re NOT happy!)
    But he was brave to finally tell his truth. That was so touching and will cause his friends to love him more because he’s been so vulnerable.
    Your vlog, Stephanie, is an absolute joy! Thank you for your hard work in bringing your love for “life and la Lande!” to us.
    I’m from Vancouver, Canada and never miss your episodes. Your incredible joy comes through in every episode (I’m sure you don’t always feel it, but you show joy anyway.) And you and all the dear ones at la Lande inspire us all...!
    I love Michael’s vlog too. He has won a lot of hearts with his engaging purist style and his warmth and talent...his family too.
    Thank you for EVERYTHING!

      @@gailcraig4495 it's been going for many years here in the UK. The programme goes to a different town each time. 5 complete strangers take turns to cook a meal in their homes over 5 days, with a dress theme and often entertainment, and the others score them. The winner gets £1000. The mix of personalities is interesting. Some groups become good friends, others just don't get on. There is a narrator, who is very funny. Sometimes there will be a "Celebrity come dine me", and the winnings go to charity. Great fun.
