In this video, Dan and I work on creating an epic chateau garden using the diggers and dumper! Meanwhile renovation work on the heating system and bedrooms continues inside the chateau, and we prepare for our Valentine's Day celebrations. Most excitingly, I receive my stunning gift from Philip...
As a gardener, I am very impressed by Ombeline's garden planning! 👌
She is so organized! Organic gardening is also fun, but perhaps results in an abundance of courgettes?
I was watching her garden planner open, page by page, and thinking... hmmm... I need to do that. I CAN do that for my garden, which is much smaller. I use the online Farmer's Almanac for planning in my specific area, but writing it down into a notebook seals the deal.
I bet she does not plant tomatoes with the fountain. Or pumpkins in a flowerbed. Far better looking than Dan though. And probably the only French Person working there.
You LaLanders are a breath of fresh air - so uplifting in such a negative and depressing world. Thank you all so much 😊😊😊😊
Well said.
Truly inspiring.
Couldn't agree more 🥰
Yes, absolutely ❤
I’m so happy Dan and Amaury met. Bromance of a life time!! Love seeing them work and play together. Good boys
Impossible not to smile, laugh and feel at home with all of you. I never dreamed I could come to feel so attached to people I only know thru RUclips. It is a testimony to the love, planning and goodwill will put into these videos. Every one of you gives 100 percent to sharing this time with us and we sure appreciate it.
Hear hear! Agree 100%
Dan. Your new look is so attractive, new smile, new whiskers and new handsome hairstyle…makes you look very sophisticated and smart….
You guys are the best: Stephanie never fails to bring a smile to the face of her many viewers with infectious good spirits - and the teasing that goes on with everyone is adorable. Plus you guys keep giving us good surprises! Thank you! No wonder I"m addicted.
Those stones Dan dug out have a flat, cut side which means they were part of a building or foundation at one time.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know what was there before 😮
Looks like Dan is digging up a building. I wonder what it could have been?
Wasn’t there a tower-like building there in one of the old plans (I thought there were three similarly shaped ones on the back lawn in one of the old etchings/drawings)? I think maybe it was the old chapel?
I hope they’re not gravestones since it’s behind the chapel
@@deniseandstevej5396 That is what I was worried about too…
Phillip- "Would you like some wine, darling?" Oh how my heart just melts! What a lovely couple!
So much fun! And a bit of drama with the pipe flushing. Loved seeing you and Dan building new gardens again. The drone shot revealed just how superb the English Garden is going to be. Love how it gently wraps around that corner of the Chapel, weaving chateau, chapel, and forest together. It's always so good seeing Dan back at Lalande. Cracked up seeing his flashback reaction to the room all decorated for Valentine's Day in a palette of pinks. The flowers! Pups and gardens. Ombeline and Kevin make magic happen with what they do. It was very good "meeting" him. Then there is the Hamburger hunt. Multiple diggers. Valentine Day finery. A dinner menu guaranteed to leave a taste on the tongue for days. The first, and what could be the last, Lalande chocolate fountain. And most importantly - all of you. Couldn't be better. Loved every bit of it! Thank you. 😄
I found myself chuckling at the banter between Steph & Dan!
I love Dan being there,so much banter.
Love when Dan is there......
@@debbie9654 I love Dan
Yes love his sense of humor
Love seeing Dan at the Château, he is part of the family.
Beautiful video, lovely meals, flowers, and all the lovely ladies and gents at a beautifully decorated room for a perfect Valentines dinner.
Great hamburger hunt too. Steph only you can pull off driving a digger all dressed up too. Love to you all. ❤❤❤
I love the whimsical notes in this video from the hamburger treasure hunt to Stepanie twirling in the beautiful, sparkly dress! ✨️😊
The teamwork at Laland is great.
The Dan-Am bromance thing is wonderful; a sight for sore eyes. Good to see them laughing together on the LaLande grounds again. Everything looks fantastic. And what an amazing Valentine's Day Dinner! Beautiful dress, Stephanie! All the ladies looked beautiful.
🙏🏻⚜️🌷💗🌷⚜️🙏🏻
I'm always excited to watch chateau diaries - but never more excited than today. My city in New Zealand was smashed by a cyclone and been 4 days cut off from everywhere with no power, internet or cell communications. It's felt a bit like an apocalypse with so much destruction and people and animals dead. Power has been on for 20 mins and after taking care of the urgent stuff watching this is the first thing on my to do list - I'm calling it my therapy!
oh my mother nature is having a field day the world over. take care and good luck!
@@dollimelaine Thank you!
Been thinking of you all across the ditch. Good to have electricity and take your mind off things with RUclips!
@@hugbloom2664 I appreciate that, the support we've had here from the community, all over the country, aussie and beyond has been amazing. More heavy rain tonight so holding our breaths it won't be to bad!
It may be worth your while to bring in an archeologist to check out the area Dan is digging up. It’s highly likely they would find something at La Lande.
Oooo yea… Metal detector it!!
Yeah the blocks aren't from a wall or tower?
I can only imagine the can of worms that may open up and delay yet another project....but I must admit I am curious about those straight edged stones.
Stephanie was saying she might get someone with a metal detector to do the lake bed after they remove the trees. But don't hold your breath they are running four projects simultaneously right now and need to finish them. Are there any volunteers out there?
All the defensive walls and towers were pulled down at Lalande. Dan moves the slabs to the hill behind the chapel to stabilize it for the garden. There is also a pile of rocks in the forest that Stephanie said was natural, just looked dressed, that he used. Near the site of the second tower, there are bricks from the old wall spilling down the hill and into the lake. Are there any volunteers to move them into a pile to rebuild a tower? 😘😘😘 There are also stone slabs along the dry moat that hold the sides in place. They don't plan to refill that side moat but won't fill it in.
what a great place to be able to bring the dogs. The gardner's dogs are so cute and fluffy!
You make everyday feel like a celebration! So glad you included Dan. He always looks his happiest when he is at LeLande. Like he’s come home again!
Stephanie, I have not been commenting for awhile, but i want to let you know how much your glorious vlogs still mean to me, and forever will, I am sure.
You are such a positive, sparking person with a beautiful heart. You gather around yourself the most wonderful people, all who compliment you and match your inner and outer goodness and beauty. I hope you continue to vlog forever, for I know i would mourn the loss, because your vlogs somehow affirm who i am and the way I see the world. I worked hard to feel able to reside in my heart, as you so naturally do, and your and your incredible life-affirming vlogs are so dear to my heart, and bring me so much joy and peace. Love to you, Phillip, and all the LaLanders.
You all definitely know how to embrace the good things in life! Love, friendship, fun, laughter, and good food!
I love when Philip clinked the jars and said Vegetables!
What a super video!!! Steph you make me laugh as you bomb around on the digger, gorgeous hair do, makeup, red jacket, so natural and lovely. So good to see Amaury and Dan hanging out again...good team! So happy to see the radiators in action! That dress! The table setting! The perfect fun dinner with style!!! Well done! I'm with you on the consistency of the chocolate Dan, but I'm sure it tasted wonderful! Thank you for this treat!
Thank you so much for all the joy!! 💝💝💝
I miss you all so much on the sundays… ❤️
I miss Sundays too!!!!
On sunday, i think she posts on her other channel!
@@mylifeasjessio Thank you!
This actually reminded me of Geocaching.. there is an app for that and you can look for treasures around the world.. you may want to consider hiding geocaches throughout the chateau and the land around it for your guests as a perk 😊
Love the banter when Dan shows up. So much of interest and humor in this video. And the Valentine's menu: LOL.
Somehow when Dan comes the whole moon of the Chateau lightenes up. his dry wit is perfect foil for Stepney.
I really do miss watching you and Dan trade teasing remarks...just smile all the time you're both on screen!🤣🤣💖💖
Love Dan & Stephanie together...I remember when Dan first started. It just feels right that he is there part of the Lalonde Family.
Stephanie you are very lucky to have Dan and Amaury, Two hard working men to help you!
Lovely to see Dan back.! Beautiful dress Steph. You looked stunning in it. 👌🤗
The stone Dan pulled out looks like it might have been a wall. Maybe a decorative garden wall? It would be great to reuse them somewhere. Beautiful dress and blessings to you all on Valentine's Day.
I enjoy the Dan and Stephanie crossovers. 😂
I loved watching this episode (like all the others of course ). And loved the Valentine outfit of all of the ladies! 🙂
I wish we could have seen their shoes! 👠
The burger game 🍔🍔🍔🍔 reminded me of the story you told us before of Stephanie mouse who had to earn furniture in the computer game. I love your life Stephanie. Thanks you for sharing it with us. I’m sure some days you wish we would go away.
I never, ever wish that!
@@TheChateauDiaries is there a path to the Chapel do you think cobble stones , I believe there would have been a path somewhere, has anymore plaster falling with the vibration of the digger ?
Wow, Umberlene has good taste, lol. She seems very organized too. That vegetable garden is going to be amazing this year. 🧡
You should make a stonegarden with all the boulders dan is digging up😊
i agree.. in some spot not her formal english garden. though is granite...
at edges where dirt can wash down..
A bit of a Stonehenge?
Stephanie: The Valentine's dress from Philip is absolutely stunning on you! Thank you all participants for such a great vlog.
Dan on his own is a little sad but lovely how he was included as part of the family
very much so, such a pity
After dinner, Dan went home and locked himself out of his B&B, taking out the trash. At 1 am. in the morning, Philip went and got him, and he spent the night at Lalande. LOL.i wonder if he was in the Marquis's room and warm.Soon, he'll build a cabin at his Chateau and have a more normal life. There are cabin kits you can buy, as my Stepbrother did one.😘😘😘😘
@@carolinegooder7091 oh that happened on the same evening? I didn't realize that. well they sure know how to have fun no matter what!
HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU 💕 ALL
What a Lovely Dress! Love the sibling dynamic between Dan, Philip and Steph. And I am thoroughly impressed with the Garden binder!
What a happy day LaLanders had on Valentine's Day. I smiled all the way through it!
Love the French conversations with subtitles.
The joy of sharing the holidays with la lande is the happiness of your deep friendships. Dan I am happy he got a Valentine celebration. Your menu was hilarious . Happy Valentine day to you all. Chocolate in any viscosity is awesome. ❤❤❤❤🤣🥰
Watched Dans video drone footage shows the amazing work thats been done, going to look fab when done. You all look amazing for Valentine's, esp you steph, that dress is beautiful, fun and laughter as always ❤
Dan's such a sweetheart! I love him on the show. I hope that he's successful with his chateau. (from Sandi)
Wondering if Dan found old stone steps up into a previous garden or pathway
Just watching this and I feel full to overflowing with feels. Best Valentine wishes to all.
OMG that Valentines table was spectacular fit for a Princess . So lovely to see the Chatteau springing to life with all the La landers busily working away on various projects. Thanks for sharing it really make my day I am such a big fan 🥰😍love from Australia 🇦🇺 💕
I will always say Dan is so handsome ❤️
All the gals looked so glam for the Valentine’s dinner. Phillip’s lunch table was so charming, just for you, dear Stephanie. The gardens will be so wonderful, come Springtime. Cheers to Dan, once again! And, to his trusty dumpster driver. Love to all from North Carolina.
A beautiful Valentine's Day, with Dan in the dirt, then what a gorgeous dining experience , all looking so beautiful ❤️
Thor - you are so stunning!
And all those BEAUTIFUL doggies 😍
That was the perfect Valentines dinner especially with all of you together. Your dress Stephanie was like Hollywood glamour. So gorgeous! You are so right about Hello Fresh. It is one of the most delicious food delivery services and quite economical with no food waste. Thanks for a really fun to watch video❤
Oh for Gods sake Steph ... will you invest in a pair of pink bluestone work boots ...they come in yellow green blue and purple aswell
Oh that was great well done everyone loved seeing Dan with you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So much to love in this vlog. All systems are go at Lalande❤.
You look amazing in your new dress and the Valentine flowers/ table decor a triumph💐💗🌹.
Pavlina looks amazing and I love the flowers in her hair, she is a delight.💗
I hope all the team of LaLanders have a wonderful weekend🫶🌺🌞
The women that do the gardening are the best you’ve had 😊✅
Yours is the only vlog I really hang out for, just a genuine group of people with so much love for each other ❣️
Your cheery disposition and sense of humor makes your videos fun to watch
You La Landers really know how to do it up! It’s so fun to watch! I’m so glad to see Dan back in with the group again. Even though he’s not really back, he is such an a great addition to the team of fun! Again the table that Phillips set was absolutely stunning! I nearly lost it when he came in with the peas and I don’t know whatever he had. It was so funny and his response was priceless. Like what? once again thank you for making my day! Stephanie, your dress was gorgeous. Well done Philip well done.🌷🍄💝💝💝💜🤗🤟🏻🇺🇸
Stephanie I think you need to save all of those large stones coming out of the garden and recreate a miniature Stonehenge. It would be a beautiful focal point to the garden.
Create a Lalandehenge!
There are henges all over the place. They could recreate a tour of Europe in henges through the woods. And do seahenge at the edge of the lake.
A Henge is a high round bank of earth with religious or social event associations. Most had timbers, so the stones of Stonehenge are unique.
@@carolinegooder7091 You might have heard about Carnac in Britanny, another Stonehenge.
@@thierrymilan2039 lol I was going to say the same and mention Avebury too. Stonehenge is spectacular. But it isn’t alone.
Love that Dad keeps coming back. And I can only wear flats so to me they are beautiful.
You and Dan have the best friendly chemistry. It’s so funny and light hearted!
Heyyy thats Dan’s sound track!!
What a delight you all are! I find myself wearing a big grin right through the videos.
Summer is coming... Amuary will be shirtless soon!!! 😁😁😁😁
Like the old days. Good to see Dan there, digging.
Happy Valentines Day to all at the chateau! I must say that was the most decadent presentation of delicious foods and lovely florals. And if I may say (since it IS Valentines day}, you ladies at LaLande are surrounded by such handsome men!
Looks like a lovely and busy time💕💕💕 at the château.
Great drone shot at the end!!
Superb. You couldn't write this and be believed, yet here we are enjoying every minute of your Valentines day celebration with you. Your friendship and love for one another is so palpable. The tables so sumptuous, the flowers so divine and you all look so pretty and handsome. What joy. x
That digger... isn't he a great man? He's in love with the digger lol Loved to see Stephanie so glowing and working on that dumper 🥰Philip did a great job setting that table. I enjoyed watching your video. Happy Valentines😍
This Valentines dinner has to be my best! 😂🥰🌟
So funny how you used the Dan tune for the Dan clip 😂
A very fun video, Thank you! Happy Valentines Day LaLanders!
Always good to see Dan again....
Thank you all for making me smile, yes it's 💕 rare..HAPPY VALENTINES TO ALL
I absolutely loved everything about this vlog. Smiled and laughed through out. Happy Valentines 💘 Day. Everyone looked amazing as well as the food. Hello Fresh doesn’t deliver in my area unfortunately. Thanks for allowing us to join in your joy 😍😘
An other great moment with you at Lalande and thats it : I am happy. Thank you.

Exquisite dress..
"Still, I think I'll eat it." Words to live by!
Big sigh! Just like the old days... Love seeing the progressive work being done, and how the rooms are coming along. Mucho thanks
Those big rocks that Dan's digging up next to the chapel. Considering how huge they are. Could they be the remnants of something man made ? A construction, perhaps ? They could still be natural boulders but still, one's got to wonder...
I love that you use one of Dan's songs when he's on screen 🥰 He is such fun! I'm also happy he was included for dinner; I worry about him being alone so much.
He just did a whole week with his sons, mostly in Paris, and sees them afternoons when he takes care of them each week. If you mean a girlfriend, I am sure that is private.
Could you please advise the name of that song, I really love it

@@lindamounts2193 thank you Linda
Gee, what a grate watch!! kevin new to the Chateau is doing an excellent job on the bathroom, such a big difference already. Dan back and as ever doing a fantastic job with Amaury, the bromance goes on! heating going in, beautiful beautiful table setting on the terrace Phillip and the dress is stunning.... Everyone in pink and red.. so lovely. I loved the walled garden, such organisation now!! WOW! Enjoyed the sunshine through the trees as well. Happy Valentines day La landers 💝
we eat daily a small amount of cold peas in the noon salad , it's lovely :)
The Valentine’s Day feast you all put together tears at my mostly vegan diet. I want to put everything in my mouth except the eggs. What a beautifully set table with beautiful friends, enjoying a beautiful meal, at a beautiful château, beautifully. 😉😜😎🖖🏼💕🥂
Oh how I dream to have a garden of that size 💕
Can I suggest you make a standing stone henge with the beautiful rocks Dan dug up. Will look lovely in the garden . 🐨🥰
I am seriously in love with Amurey…… his voice is mesmerizing…….as I am 75 I will not be plotting the demise of Natty….if I were 74 she may have been in danger… lol…..
I never miss an episode. I look forward to seeing all of you every week. You’re truly one of the bright spots of my life. Thank you for doing what you do and for being who you are. Everyone at La Lande holds a very special place in my heart and I can’t wait until I can come meet you and see and experience it for myself. 🥰 Happy Valentine’s Day! 💘
Love the smiles and laughter...I am getting hungry!!
Happy Valentine’s Day all. Pretty dress steph
Stephanie it is lovely to see you absolutely GLOWING! It is SO obvious that Philip is the very BEST person you might have chosen as he apparently takes such particular care of you. He ‘fits’ with you in so many other special ways-I am SO happy for you both! ❤
Love seeing the dogs and how they are growing and love molly ❤
A burger game..?..Only Dan can do that.He is the man.
Some hair tips, Stephanie;
I also have pretty straight hair that does not take heat curls very well.
What I find works (and lasts!) best for me is doing a wet set using good old fashioned setting lotion or strong hold hair mousse. Pillow rollers over night would probably work great for you!
Steam rollers work very well also.
@@joycemetheny8338 Not sure I would want to use a steamroller for that job .... might not work out well.
Steph you looked straight like a princess 👸 😍
Oh Steph that dress is running on you❤
So sorry STUNNING
Oh la la ! Ombeline et son super calendrier de jardin 😮 !! Bravo !
La chasse aux hamburgers 😂 super idée (pas diététique) !
Du super chauffage pour l’hiver prochain 👍🏻
Cette robe de Saint Valentin 🤩 !!! Mais il faut respirer 😄 !
Dan est un belle personne, généreux et avec un sens de l’humour bien à lui !
Je lui souhaite de retrouver une Valentine ❤
Merci pour cette joyeuse vidéo … hâte de voir comment les nouveaux parterres vont évoluer 🌸🌸🌸
Merci pour cett
I need Ombeline's plant schedule. So organized!!!😍
