    Stephanie’s mother is 80? She looks fantastic for her age!

      yeah but the joke that she hadn't prepared anything for their dinner after such a long trip was classic motherly joke and a little mean... (I hate it when my mom jokes with me this way 😭)

      I loved her little happy dance! Mummy looks gorgeous. And normally I’m not into short guys (my Daddy was short lol. He was my hero$ but I would kidnap big brother Jerry in a heart beat (if he’s into BBW’s) So sweet

    Honestly I didn't realize how much I missed Isabel until seeing her again up close on the video again. Cannot wait until she opens her La Lande gifts. So excited that She and Percy will be coming to La Lande again in the spring. Please take up with you when she sees all the changes in the walled garden. So much has changed.

    The joy glowing on Mummy's face at being reunited with Stephanie reminded me so much of the way my mother looks at me when she arrives for a visit. I haven't seen her for over 2 years, thanks to Covid, and I miss her dreadfully, but I am counting my blessings to have a mother that loves me so much that it shines on her face.

    The love and delight just shines through your Mother's eyes in every shot! Yours, too. How well you held the travellers together all the way to the end! Percy looks amazingingly well, young and handsome! Loved his shirt. Scotman does look a bit tired at the table but relieved and happy, too. And Philip, so young but so steady, balanced and "with it"! No need to mention his very good looks, kind and pleased eyes. Stephanie, you must promise to be very good and honorable to him. Have a wonderful time all of you together! God bless you! Patricia

    Stephanie, the reason that I love your vlogs so much is due to your humble personality. You don’t care that you’ve gotten something from a charity shop (and I love that you donate, as well!), and you wear what pleases you. You are so beautiful (even without makeup) that you could wear a paper sack and look lovely and poised. Very much like your mother. You are both très chic!

But just tonight, in that parting shot where she throws a kiss, I realized why I am so drawn to her. She looks very much like my mother, and her manerisms are so similar! How could I not see it before! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

    @Sami-bv5wo 2 года назад +12

    I am so HAPPY that you have made it to South Africa to be with your beautiful mom and Percy. I was moved to tears seeing how happy your mom was to see you, your brother, and philip. I could feel her joy because this is how I feel every time I see my son. (He was taken away from me for one year, in a horrific child custody battle, and that was it was traumatizing for both of us, and in the end, we were reunited). My son is now attending college, and we see each other when he is on school break. He looks a little bit like Philip, with beautiful long dark curly hair, facial hair, elegantly dressed, and very well-spoken.
    We are looking forward to seeing your next adventure, and we hope you will all have the most wonderful vacation.
    Light & Love from all of us, to all of you.

    I’ve just re-read my comment and am appalled that it might be misunderstood. I’m so so glad you and Philip not to mention Scotman are spending downtime with family and friends and taking time out from what is a fairly gruelling schedule year long. I think the chateau ghost Henri continues to fulfil his promise by attracting the most amazing employees,volunteers but also guests to your home. Dan’s doing an amazing job plus those left to care for the place so that’s one of the best compliments to you because if you weren’t the person you are you couldn’t attract and keep these amazing people. And give them the quality of life they love. Great to see Isobel and Percy again. Hope Natti and Amoury are having a similarly great time in Argentina. We miss you but you so need holidays outside of the limelight. Just looking for your invigorated return.
    Love Nik from Taupo, New Zealand.

    My goodness your flat is not far from where I live, I’m Newington Green road Islington, I’m so going to France to visit you as I love your vlogs and especially the Christmas ones, plus your chateau looks beautiful I need a fairy tail long weekend it’s a must… xx💛🙏🙏😊

    Oh, the look on Isobel's face when she's welcoming her darling daughter is priceless.....made my eyes leak a little bit.....so glad you all arrived safely and Scotman was finally reunited with his superhero outfit! Happy days!

    So so happy your going to see mummy, we all miss her at the chateau but she told me a little while ago it's to cold in France at the moment so hopefully when it gets warmer in France mummy will come back. Enjoy your trip, hugs to you all from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 🤗 💕
