Yes, he is ready and do not need him flying over to the Chateau from Africa in a balloon! They both miss each other so very much! It has been way too long!
isabelle...for the ironer..spritz water as it is fed. het a spray bottle and keep the fabric just barely spritzed. put lavender or your favorite essential ..sleep time will be heavenly x
Barbi Button There are very few flights in and out of South Africa, you have to get special approval to get a place on one of them. If you are lucky enough you still have to quarantine. Only if Percy has a residence permit for France will he stand a chance of getting “home”
Chantal, I believe on the FB page Brenda Gibbons mentioned that he does get paid/salary. I could be wrong, but remember reading it. Feel free to correct me anyone.
He is able to do so many different things! From dancing, ( which he can do many different types of dance it seems) and carpentry and gardening and it goes on and on and on, Most are very talented in so many ways. Such fun people too. But guess we see something special in him that does make him seem someone who should be living there 'forever' if he pleases? He is a natural.
I so agree, Selmar, if he wishes to, should be staying and get paid for all the work he does. He is a big part of all the nice things that is happening at the Chateau. He also bring joy, many aspect of his numerous talents as well. Château need Selmar and Diesel.
I've always "rolled" my bed linens and table cloths straight from the washing machine. Then it's perfect! I don't have an electrical roller right now, and I miss it so much. I hate ironing!
It is honorable that he does truly take all his work this seriously and would be willing to shop for and pay for this instead of just other items for leisure. He is trying and enjoying seeing this castle look spectacular! Isabella was wonderful to go with him and work with him as he shopped.. Realy nice they had that time together too.
🤗Yes! It was good!🤗 Totally in tune w/the excitement of the room! What a 💪man! ~~~~~~~~~ Pink vs Cranberry... A🌹(or Spode dish) by any other name is still every bit as sweet💟.
🎄Christmas, 🐰Easter and romantic 💘Valentine's Day for sure! 🦃Thanksgiving is more an American tradition, but the inhabitants of ⚜Lalande do like an excuse to 🎊celebrate🎊!
I played the whiskey bottle game picking up my empty bottle and reading ..... "I like my men like I like my whiskey - Cool, creamy, and bursting with exotic mango" It was a bottle of Mango Lassi LOL😁
Hahaha! Ok, I'll play! "I like my whiskey like I like my ladies: soft and fruity, that will captivate, and delight". From a bottle of Frescobaldi Remole Toscana Rosso 2018 😀🍷
As one ages, time goes by faster and faster and when you think about the dog years thing, a couple of hours must seem like an eternity to him! But what a loyal boy, calling out to poor lost Selmar for as long as it takes to help him find his way back home again!
This vlog was pure joy!! The "i like my men like i like my whisky" had me cracking up!! 😂😂 loving these legends and the pure joy you all bring. Selmar please never leave La Londe you are such a clever, funny soul and an asset to the chateau. We all love you! Xx
🍾Hilarious party game! 🏆All good sports who participated...esp. who soulfully exaggerated their specific edits to suit their ideal partner. 😮Selmar was even more saucy as he went off script. Naughty! 😻Cat is delicious! Seems like an ideal🍺"Chum on Tap" no matter where she might travel in life. 💝 Love her 🎉vivacity & zest🎉 for life. She does a lively Latin dance too. Ole!
so many wonderful items today; I can't begin to comment....not the least of which is Selmar's new workshop.Bravo All! ♥I did not think anyone could be outdone today but PERCY !!! YOU HAVE turned on the lights...we want nothing more than to see you and dear Isabelle re-united....SOOOON!♥♥♥
You are most welcome, Selmar. It is good to see you so excited about your new tools .... Lalande is fortunate to have you. Looking forward to everything that will happen at the Chateau. Stephanie has been blessed with so many good people who want to be part of her Team. That little “whisky game” was fun!! Dinner was so lovely, great food .... beautiful flowers by Marie, new plates, apple pie baked by Selmar, music and dancing in the kitchen. So much Fun! Oh my Goodness! The Quote of the evening: “You can move everything ...”. 😀😀😀. You are such a wonderful group ... and Family. Percy was great, too. Please hang in there ...
Thank you so much Stephanie for bringing so much happiness to a dull world . Its such a tonic to see how you and your Mum and all the lovely people you share your home with live your life to the full ! It makes my day to see your videos and I can't wait to see what your next adventure will be ! bless you !
I’m so happy that Selmar got his wish! He contributes so much there, between his joie de vive and his carpentry skills. 🔨 Lovely dishes from Spode! So amazing that they sent those. Enjoy. I hope Percy makes it there soon in his Fortuny balloon! 😀
Selmar is so deserving of all his man toys!!! Can’t wait to see what he builds next, he did such a great job with the mirror frame & the decorative frame over the shower he is a such a gem 💎!!!❤️🇨🇦
I can't believe it. I've been watching my way through this whole playlist from number 1 to now, and I'm caught up. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with myself now. I love this channel so much!
Hi Stephanie! I inherited a set of cranberry on white dishes by Johnson Bros. England that from a distance look just like yours. They were my Aunt Lila's, she was a secretary and a spinster her whole life but shared our love for beautiful tableware. Enjoy your Spode!!
Selmar is such an amazing delight! And I watch how Diesel watches Selmar in all of the vlogs. DIESEL, is a fur baby totally enambered with his person, as we all are.
Thank you so much for this wonderful vlog Stephanie, such a light during my evenings ☺️❤️ aaah and Selmar I'm so happy for you. You looked so excited, so lovely. Now you can proceed doing magic with your new "toys". And what you did with the bathroom is absolutely amazing work. 😍👌🏻
Those cranberry colored plates would be perfect for Christmas and Valentine’s Day as well! I have a set of cranberry Spode in the same pattern and bring them out for Valentines each year.
Bon Chance Emily; sad to see her go she is lovely member of the crew; wow Selmar the mirror looks fabulous; Mummy looking glamorous as she does the pressing of the laundry WOW♥Okay...Selmar(in the kitchen!) in an apron just as charming as in his tango shoes or in the workshop commanding his artistic genious& fun in the laundry room as ever ♥
Nicki is so creative and prolific in the kitchen...the food looks delicious and healthy and most of all tasty...Yay Nicki !! So happy for all of Selmar's gifts...Yay! And bless patient Percy..xo . Sending Love from LA >>>> Such a fun video..Yay!!
Yeah! So happy to see that Selmar will be doing more new creations soon. Fancy and safe tools means, better work & safe place. Wow! Selmar can really move to Latin music. Woah! Love it Selmar! What a great ending! I loved it. Amen to Spode for the beautiful thank you gift. How kind.
A wonderful vlog. I was laughing all the way. Selmar is a dream, so talented, and poor Percy resorting to talking to himself! Hope he is reunited with Isobell soon. The food that is dished up is amazing and always makes me hungry, and the dancing...... You are so lucky to be surrounded by so many talented people. You really make my day 💕
When Selma produced his new carpentry equipment he was so excited..like going on a date with his latest found love..joy to you Selma. And dearest Isabelle's video of Percy was so creative..too long to be apart..hope they resolve this lost love situ..they miss each other terribly..♥ And finally Spode must have been very grateful to you and impressed by your blog..not something that would be gifted too often I say..again your magic moments create more magic Stephanie..⭐
I could see velvety cream of mushroom soup with a floating crouton sprinkled with Italian parsley in the new Spode soup bowls. Funny that I ordered two small Spode vases because of your love of the blue and white Stephanie❣️
Thank you, now i MUST go eat something very dull in my kitchen when what you suggest sounds soooooo good and has made me hungry...well, and all of that great food in this vlog too. lol
I am so incredibly happy for Selmar and his carpentry studio!!! I love that he's all about safety first! He's such a good man. Thank you for another lovely video.
Yes, I agree Selmar! Stunning work in the guest suite w/the silver mirror & the panel above the shower door. You truly elevated that space. If the ladies featured in that space weren't modestly averting their glances, they would be impressed too. Old-world detail & craftmanship. 👏 🎊So thrilled for you & your new tools! The portable table saw, chainsaw & safety drawers! Been around woodworking & carpentry all my life. Love it, but don't have the need to dabble. Having the right equipment (inclu. miter saws, jigsaws, sanders, routers, jigs, clamps, etc.) makes it all such a dream. Enjoy watching you create your magic!!! 🤗
Love Selmars enthusiasm ! How happy he is with his new equipment ! I am sure he can’t wait to use it all ! Poor Diesel , he was left alone for a while and missed him ! Just like my dog !
What a fun group of people! I love how everyone brings something different to the environment! Nikki needs to come back often! She is amazing! She has a positive and calm vibe!
We used to do our bed linen with the mangle and nothing makes them smoother and perfectly in their place in the linen closet ! Just make sure that the mangled item is little damp for better result !
🤔Wow! That is quite the contraption. Never seen anything like it. 💕Love a labor saving device -- and ironing is my least favorite part of doing laundry. 💪Looks like it presses things remarkably well too...when it is loaded properly! 📺 For me, I envision an episode w/America's favorite😍redhead "I Love Lucy!" My ineptitude working w/any machinery that requires speed & precision would probably end up like the chaos she once created as quality control @ the sweet factory w/the speeding conveyor belt & chocolate🍫🍫🍫. 😉
A tip with the roller iron. It can be paused for readjusting the fabric. Plus fabric should be slightly damp. Keep a spray bottle of water handy. I always loved using these machines.
As always thank you Stephanie for another entertaining video that allows us to laugh and enjoy watching all the lovely people at Lalande ! For a short time we get to forget the difficulties and hardships of living through a pandemic. In a world that has to much sadness right now you are a joy!
Stephanie, I have a question about the pants you are wearing while mangling the tablecloth. Is that a William Morris print? What a fabulous pair of pants!!!
@@TheBTG88 Oh yes, I remember her showing us how perfectly the suit fit after putting it on, but not those trousers, wow I love them too! A funny note Vintage Gardener NJ, ("pants" in England are "underwear" and trousers are what what one wears on top.) My husband is English and I am USA and he and all his mates would always laugh at me for talking about my pants rather than trousers. lol
PERCY! PERCY! PERCY! WE MUST GET HIM HOME TO HIS PRECIOUS ISABELLE.!
🎩Sir Percy is adorable! His positivity, humor & creativity is needed in ⚜France! 👒Lady Isabel needs her sweet Knight!
Yes, it's just horrid he can't travel if he agrees to quarantine after arrival.
Yes, he is ready and do not need him flying over to the Chateau from Africa in a balloon! They both miss each other so very much! It has been way too long!

Ok Selmar must never leave ! He is such a joy
So true!
He is a part of Lalande and a valuable wood craftsman and dance instructor!
It will be a sad day if he does!
I think they need a permanent carpenter and all around handyman! I vote for Selmar to stay!
His famous Apple pie is the dream of all! So is he, and he is a lifer where he is I think!?
I think Selmar should be paid like Nattie. He is too precious. Things are really turning around with him.
Chantal, I believe on the FB page Brenda Gibbons mentioned that he does get paid/salary. I could be wrong, but remember reading it. Feel free to correct me anyone.
Is Selma staying on at the Chateaux? I hope so because he is an amazing person and does so much.
@@barbarawatson1667 Yes, I think so.
He is able to do so many different things! From dancing, ( which he can do many different types of dance it seems) and carpentry and gardening and it goes on and on and on, Most are very talented in so many ways. Such fun people too.

Selmar is so happy! The man has so many beautiful amazing talents. Who can resist his charm? 🥰🥰🥰
Oh cant someone bring PERCY HOME TO ISABEL?
Someone go rescue Percy! 😭
Indeed, lovely Percy , everyone to the rescue hahahaha
South Africa is still in lock down with the borders closed (you can't even renew your passport!)
@@sarahfinkelstein3507 someone said above that there are flights out of Johannasburg ?!?!
@@sarahfinkelstein3507 How sad! How old is Percy? He should stay with his wife ❤.
As my mother always quipped, "Use the good dishes." The Spode is lovely.
Here it is end of July 2024 and I'm loving seeing Selmar. He brought so much sunshine and joy. He loved working for you at Lalande.
I love Percy's video. What a romantic he is!
Selmar's Carpentry Studio! Cause for massive celebration. Exciting times. So happy for him!🍷🎆
Hi Stephanie! Ironing machine tip: Everything must be still a little damp!
Or spray it with some water. It works like magic 👌✨
I've always "rolled" my bed linens and table cloths straight from the washing machine. Then it's perfect! I don't have an electrical roller right now, and I miss it so much. I hate ironing!
When Selmar is tired of living in France I have a family farm in Tennesse that could use his expertise and his love of animals❤️
And here in California too!
and her in Toronto canada....
And Michigan lol
And Florida! But I fear Diesel is too old for the journey :(
Isn’t there a Selmar, TN ? Or is it Selmer? I’ve been there on far West side of TN.
Give Selmar anything he wants😍🇺🇸
YES! ANYTHING!!
Fantastic that Selmar has new equipment...... Means he'll be staying around✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ Adore the SPODE and everything about the chateau. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
He has said before that he is staying for a long time
It is honorable that he does truly take all his work this seriously and would be willing to shop for and pay for this instead of just other items for leisure. He is trying and enjoying seeing this castle look spectacular! Isabella was wonderful to go with him and work with him as he shopped.. Realy nice they had that time together too.
I love Selmar's reaction to the pink plates....
🤗Yes! It was good!🤗
Totally in tune w/the excitement of the room! What a 💪man!
~~~~~~~~~
Pink vs Cranberry...
A🌹(or Spode dish) by any other name is still every bit as sweet💟.
Selma; We are seeing more and more personality. You are a gem and a star!
Ethiopian airlines is flying to Europe from Johannesburg! Percy needs to get to you!
How can u let Stephanie know? Do u know how far is Johannasburg from Percy's home?
tell her via the chateau reservations!!
@Susan Evans Agreed, plus Ethiopian Airlines doesn't have a great reputation for safety!
@Susan Evans Anyone can change wiki entries - it's had a lot of incidents - I wouldn't fly with them,.
I was thinking the cranberry spode would be perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas!
And Valentine's Day!
🎄Christmas, 🐰Easter and romantic 💘Valentine's Day for sure!
🦃Thanksgiving is more an American tradition, but the inhabitants of ⚜Lalande do like an excuse to 🎊celebrate🎊!
I thought of Christmas myself xxx
I played the whiskey bottle game picking up my empty bottle and reading .....
"I like my men like I like my whiskey - Cool, creamy, and bursting with exotic mango"
It was a bottle of Mango Lassi LOL😁
Haaahaa!! Priceless!!!
Hahaha! Ok, I'll play! "I like my whiskey like I like my ladies: soft and fruity, that will captivate, and delight". From a bottle of Frescobaldi Remole Toscana Rosso 2018 😀🍷
It even works with a bottle of Johnson's Baby Shampoo (which happened to be the closest bottle to me) --- "As gentle to the eyes as pure water." Wow!
Percy's video was absolutely brilliant lol
Just like a Star from Hollywood! lol Percy and Isabella will be so excited once together again. Am sure it will be soon.
poor Deisel he thought his daddy left him
💗❤️⚜️💜⚜️❤️💗
As one ages, time goes by faster and faster and when you think about the dog years thing, a couple of hours must seem like an eternity to him! But what a loyal boy, calling out to poor lost Selmar for as long as it takes to help him find his way back home again!

Oh, I hope Percy can come soon. His editing makes me laugh. 😂
Bravo Selmar! Selmar deserves it all! Soo happy for him. Then all of you owners who recognizes his value soo well.
I think your new plates would look amazing on a table decorated for Christmas dinner.
So happy for Selmar! Lovely Spode dinnerware!
I’m so happy that Selmar got his wish! He contributes so much there, between his joie de vive and his carpentry skills. 🔨 Lovely dishes from Spode! So amazing that they sent those. Enjoy. I hope Percy makes it there soon in his Fortuny balloon! 😀
So glad for Selmar, wonderful he got saw and work table. awesome spode too!
Selmar is a really classy man. I love all of the tapestries he has in his apartment. His bed chambers is truly grand. WOW
Beautiful gift from Spode!
Selmar is so deserving of all his man toys!!! Can’t wait to see what he builds next, he did such a great job with the mirror frame & the decorative frame over the shower he is a such a gem 💎!!!❤️🇨🇦
I love, love, love Selmar’s laugh. He is a real treasure.
Poor pup missed his daddy when Selmar was gone.Congratulations Selmar on your new workshop tools and such!!!
I am DELIGHTED TOO! He is SO talented!!! Thank you to the Patrons who voted to make this possible for him!!!
Cat and Hanne are hilarious.
The vision of Percy landing in a balloon...very french!!
I think of Percy as a gallant knight riding on his horse for his damsel to be united.
Selmar should be put on staff.He does such incredible work.
I can't believe it. I've been watching my way through this whole playlist from number 1 to now, and I'm caught up. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with myself now. I love this channel so much!
So good to hear Selmar's delight, and see his face light up. Love the new Spode.
Hi Stephanie! I inherited a set of cranberry on white dishes by Johnson Bros. England that from a distance look just like yours. They were my Aunt Lila's, she was a secretary and a spinster her whole life but shared our love for beautiful tableware. Enjoy your Spode!!
Selmar cooking is just adorable...he is one handy man to have around😉😊😊😊
The cranberry Spode will go beautifully in the dining room
Selmar is such an amazing delight!
And I watch how Diesel watches Selmar in all of the vlogs. DIESEL, is a fur baby totally enambered with his person, as we all are.
We need to have a château de laland cooking show.

Another vlog; the guests will be neglected lol
Dan the gardener is a professional chef too, he could teach it!

my life just slayed my poor head today...i went up to my room and watched my lovely La Londe. headache gone
Really proud that british crockery is being showcased and appreciated for the world to see.

At the end of your program I find I have a big smile on my face, thank you for the lightness you bring to my world
So sad to see Emily leave
Those cranberry colored plates would be perfect for Christmas and Valentine’s Day as well! I have a set of cranberry Spode in the same pattern and bring them out for Valentines each year.
Oh, so nice for the holidays, with greenery and sparkle bits...
Selmar needs to be put on as a permanent carpenter and dance instructor he’s much loved. The Spode ok my!!! I collect red love 💕 it so much.
Oh what fun they all have , I do hope percy and mummy get back together soon
Bon Chance Emily; sad to see her go she is lovely member of the crew; wow Selmar the mirror looks fabulous; Mummy looking glamorous as she does the pressing of the laundry WOW♥Okay...Selmar(in the kitchen!) in an apron just as charming as in his tango shoes or in the workshop commanding his artistic genious& fun in the laundry room as ever ♥

You make beautiful dishes which enhance the beauty of the meal.
I love these vlogs. How lovely it would be to spend one’s life among such a wonderful family of people. Blessings to all at LaLande! 💜✨💜
The food looked so good ! Flowers and plates looked beautiful 🦚Percy is adorable 🌈
Please Stephanie...let's recreate that happy, happy, happy look on Selmar's face by buying him at least one new power tool per month!
Absolutely love Selmar!!
Yeah! So happy to see that Selmar will be doing more new creations soon. Fancy and safe tools means, better work & safe place. Wow! Selmar can really move to Latin music. Woah! Love it Selmar! What a great ending! I loved it.
Amen to Spode for the beautiful thank you gift. How kind.
I like my men like I like my whiskey, left in an oak barrel for forty years with very little oxygen
Selmar just makes me smile!
A wonderful vlog. I was laughing all the way. Selmar is a dream, so talented, and poor Percy resorting to talking to himself! Hope he is reunited with Isobell soon. The food that is dished up is amazing and always makes me hungry, and the dancing...... You are so lucky to be surrounded by so many talented people. You really make my day 💕
Blue Spode and red Spode alternating for Bastile Day!!! I’d use it for the Fourth of July in the United States. It’s so patriotic!
Excellent idea!!
When Selma produced his new carpentry equipment he was so excited..like going on a date with his latest found love..joy to you Selma.
And dearest Isabelle's video of Percy was so creative..too long to be apart..hope they resolve this lost love situ..they miss each other terribly..♥
And finally Spode must have been very grateful to you and impressed by your blog..not something that would be gifted too often I say..again your magic moments create more magic Stephanie..⭐
I could see velvety cream of mushroom soup with a floating crouton sprinkled with Italian parsley in the new Spode soup bowls. Funny that I ordered two small Spode vases because of your love of the blue and white Stephanie❣️
Thank you, now i MUST go eat something very dull in my kitchen when what you suggest sounds soooooo good and has made me hungry...well, and all of that great food in this vlog too. lol
I am so incredibly happy for Selmar and his carpentry studio!!! I love that he's all about safety first! He's such a good man. Thank you for another lovely video.
Selmar brings so much to the Chateau be it baking, dancing, driving, woodworking. Such a renaissance man😊
Bravo, Selmar! It's all superb! Can't wait to see what beautiful things you will create for the chateau!! Well deserved! 💯 🙌 💪
Yes, I agree Selmar!

Love Selmars enthusiasm ! How happy he is with his new equipment ! I am sure he can’t wait to use it all ! Poor Diesel , he was left alone for a while and missed him ! Just like my dog !
Spray linen lightly with water and lavender essential oil after ironing once it’s placed, it works on bed linen for the light crinkle
I was thinking the same thing
Poor Diesel was worried looking for best friend Selmar.
Diesel is so happy and comforted that Selmar is back home again.
I'm sure the beautiful new spode plates made Selma's pie taste even better if possible!
If you sprinkle the tablecloths with a little water before sending them through the press, it should steam press them.
What a fun group of people! I love how everyone brings something different to the environment! Nikki needs to come back often! She is amazing! She has a positive and calm vibe!
We used to do our bed linen with the mangle and nothing makes them smoother and perfectly in their place in the linen closet ! Just make sure that the mangled item is little damp for better result !
A spray bottle of water would help to dampen the material as it goes through the mangle
@@jmk1962 my mother sprinkled hers with an RV cola bottle with a special lid w/holes. The memories!!
🤔Wow! That is quite the contraption. Never seen anything like it. 💕Love a labor saving device -- and ironing is my least favorite part of doing laundry. 💪Looks like it presses things remarkably well too...when it is loaded properly!

Selmar is hilarious with a querky sense of humour and can dance too.
Cheered me up no end , as my mother died today but she had a long heathy life at 101 !
Prayers for you dear, its still Mom!
❤️Hugs❤️
Jennifer Southin I’m so sorry for your loss 😢
I’m so sorry to hear that, but it’s wonderful that you had so long together. We’re all sending you lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
As always thank you Stephanie for another entertaining video that allows us to laugh and enjoy watching all the lovely people at Lalande ! For a short time we get to forget the difficulties and hardships of living through a pandemic. In a world that has to much sadness right now you are a joy!
Yes Selmar is wonderful, with his new carpenters table he will have his workshop ready for anything that the chateaux needs!!......
Stephanie, I have a question about the pants you are wearing while mangling the tablecloth. Is that a William Morris print? What a fabulous pair of pants!!!
She got it as a gift in one of the unwrapping episodes. I woman gave her the pants and a flower print suit - that amazingly - fit perfectly.
@@TheBTG88 Oh yes, I remember her showing us how perfectly the suit fit after putting it on, but not those trousers, wow I love them too!

My husband is English and I am USA and he and all his mates would always laugh at me for talking about my pants rather than trousers. lol
Thank you for this wonderful vlog and the extra special performance of Percy, it sure cracked me up! Soo lovely.

Percy and his diabolical plan! 😂💓 so good! The sooner he is home the better for everyone.
I'm very happy that Ruby is feeling better. Mummy and Selmar must have taken very good care of him.
