Hello. Please be careful. Normally hedgehogs are nocturnal animals. A hedgehog out in the daytime is very susceptible to being attacked by flies. The flies lay their eggs on the poor créature, the eggs turn into maggots which then proceed to feed on the hedhehog. Maggots in the ears migrate down and it is very difficult to remove them. Euthanasia is usually the only solution. The hedgehog sanctuary near laval can give you advice- they have a website. Have a great holiday.
Oh NO, now I'm worried about this poor creature! 🥺 I know hedgehogs are very sensistive little animals, and this one has displayed such atypical behavior from the get go, not being shy, being overweight, and still remaining within the garden... Do you think the chickens may help keep any maggots at bay? If it's not shy of them, I'd assume they'd feast on any maggot they saw on the little fella? It's so strange he's active midday in the heat. And I'd assume chicken feed isn't a balanced diet for a hedgehog either. Don't they mainly eat proteins? Usually newborn mice, beatles and insects, earthworms, frogs and small cadavers, as well as berries and mushrooms from what I've learnt? Chicken fodder seems all wrong... What a (prickly) oddball. 😬
So much joy seeing what Amuery is up to in the Chateau his level of skill and detail is second to none. I think he has an effect on Dan too. Dan has uped his game as regards focus on all the small steps that go into turning out a beautifully finished piece of work. Example :Dan's new workshop is an inspired homage to Amuery's workshop at LaLande . We find friends who inspire and who we enjoy hanging out with ..Amuery and Dan have that. Amuey's mentorship and friendship with Dan is a great example of the positive effect men can have on each other, Movember is coming up you've got to plan a Bro trip to review all the events of the past year. Just amazing content Steff. Cant wait for Mommy and Precy's return. The Bells will peel for a week..
Wonderful, as if the door was always there. Such craftsmanship. Marie's dishes are such a fresh delight. If they taste as beautiful as the presentation , what a treat.
How exciting to follow Michael into the Chapel, I knew with his fine eye it would be beyond exciting! It was! I am always Verklempt to enter. Thanks for the before, during and cannot wait to see the the finish. .
The broccante shopping was very disciplined.🤣 I look forward to each one as you find and purchase treasures and bargains. I love it when Phillip says it's going to go in the shop but he seems to sneak it into the kitchen. You two have a lovely relationship and is an inspiration to see the joy in everything.💗
Stephanie, Your love of Lalande and all of her people is exquisite! Your love of life is exquisite! I don't know anyone like you... You are exactly where God meant for you to be!
Stephanie, I am so glad your hedgehog is sharing the the hen's food - she is beautiful, and always worth keeping around, as hedgehogs eat many garden pests. So they are very useful in a garden.
Amaury is a true artist with his craft. Love the bond he and Dan have. Such a positive effect for both of them. Love the bets and teasing at the end about what time you would finally leave. I’m glad has found his/her home at LaLande. Enjoy your vacation and thanks for sharing 😍😘
Stephanie, we need a video of you showing everything new (especially the garden) to Isabelle and Percy as soon as they arrive, please!! 😊❤️ have fun on your holiday 😘😘
Stephanie-do whatever you like and can do with you vlogs, I LOVE the joy with which you share even the most simple events of any day!! I hope your trip was very happy 😃 😊💗
I know you care very much for the hedgegogs but please make sure there are lots of shallow water dishes around the area, they are struggling terribly in the drought so any food and water will really help🙂
Appreciate all you do Stephanie in bring this to us. After all this time, I still look forward in seeing this and visiting all my friends here. Lalanders are the BEST. 🥰🥰🥰❤
As an avid collector of horse statues and items, it drives me nearly insane when I spot one in the background on one of your shopping trips! I have the same Avon aftershave bottle, but there was a stunning bronze rearing horse in the background when you were looking at bells that I would have run straight to. Have a great vacation!
I would LOVE to see La Lande host a vide grenier or a brocante in the grounds before you start work on the formal gardens. It would be so nice for your community! 💙
Looking out at our London garden which is suffering badly in the heatwave I wondered how the newly planted garden at Lelande is fairing in this heat. I know new plants need lots of water to get established.
@@yomiv6232 Didn't know. My bad. As not all areas with rivers, wells and cistern are effected, we will have to wait and be told or see if they had to cease watering. 😘😘😘😘
@@yomiv6232 We just dropped 20 degrees this week in the southern US with lots of rain all of a sudden. I thought the Northwest and the Southeast of France were the hardest hit?
I love that you have the scents that remind you those you love. I think you and Phillip showed great control in the shopping department! I hope you both have a wonderful visit!
Hello Stephanie! I luckily found your channel through your visit to Phillipp and Anna's chateau. Your enthusiasm for everything beautiful is very admirable. Now, I find myself binge-watching your many interesting vlogs on the restoration of your chateau. You are the perfect person to take over the monumental task of restoring this spectacular chateau. I truly enjoy watching and hope you continue showing all that goes into recreating a beauty from the past. Keep up the great work!
I admire all the talented people you have at there! Amourey wood working is AMAZING! As are all the test! Enjoy life to the fullest! Love to all George & Jonathan Hilton
The local joke where I live is that August is the only time when you need to lock your car when it's parked in town. If not, you'll return to find your back seat heaped with courgettes...
Hi Stephanie, Phillip and all the really lovely Lalanders. We have been getting to 'know you all' since not only Chateau DIY but also from Nicki Storey and her Positano Diaries when she recommended your wonderful vlogs back In January. We have been watching them since then. You certainly help to brighten up our days( far more enjoyable and interesting than mot of our TV programmes!) and really enjoy seeing your excitement at the wonderful Cadeaux at the Chateau and quite often laugh with you when you open some of the amazing gifts you receive! I had 2 strokes last year and you are certainly helping my relaxation and so thankfully good recovery! Stephanie Mummy reminds me about my wonderful Mother too and how she also enjoyed gardening.We have also ''got to know' your lovely friends Anna and Edd and also Sarah and Steve (my Father was Canadian!) in their beautiful chateaux too. Back in July we messaged Anna and Edd when we saw the horrific fires near Bordeaux and Edd kindly replied to let us know that fortunately the fire was the other side of the Garonne River and luckily the wind was in another direction. Yesterday we saw how the terrible fires were once again near Bordeaux and lots of people were being evacuated. Also in the South of France. We do hope that none of them have been affected by these fires.We look forward to your future vlogs and seeing the fantastic restoration of your gorgeous Chateau as well as on the many interesting places you visit. Love from Christina and Nick Findell, Crediton. Devon UK.
The horse bottle and the very old frames with glass are a good find. I understand that you stop each other from acquiring too many things, although it can be tempting. Lalande is so beautiful, its interior has so far got the nice atmosphere it deserves, something like the right objects at the right place? Bon voyage!
Hi Stephanie, during our last growing season I had a abundance of Zucchini’s (courgettes) as well, If you have freezer space, dice or grate and freeze. I’ve been using mine all winter here in Australia, they still fry nicely, or can be added to soups, stews, pasta etc. I used the grated ones for zucchini bread, delicious. Love watching you guys.
Great advice they can surely use! I have a great recepie for making vegetarian deep pan pizza using grated courgettes and sharp cheese in the crust, and it's delish! With abundance of courgettes and aubergines I do like the italians do and slice lengthwize, salt and grill them and let them submerge in olive oil, garlic, herbs and sometimes peperoncino and serve with grilled meat or fish or on antipasti plates (they keep for a good 2 or 3 weeks in the fridge this way and are great in cold sandwiches too.) For next year they should substitute some of the courgettes with more aubergines for pasta, babaganouch and fritters, and the more tasty forms of squash and pumpkins. All the pumpkin varieties keep for a long time once harvested and set in a cool place with air circulating around. Eggplant is more useful than courgette too. Melons. All grow happily in the same bed in the same soil. Also if you harvest the flowers before they turn to big fruit and suff them and fry them they are scrumptious!
@@justinwilliams7290 perfect for a John Dory. Yum! Decorative too if you have space to show it off. Odd shaped paella pan anyone? 😂 Love the copper pans. My fave gets used all the time.
@@justinwilliams7290 theres no lead in them, where do you get that from. Its copper and used by every French chef, handmade and lasts generations. Tinned internally. What will kill you is using teflon (non stick) pans with any scratch in it. Or eating farmed fish. Loads of modern things are incredibly toxic. Microwaved water gives mice cancer. Hand forged copper and cast iron, are invaluable. But like everything of exellent quality you must take proper care of them not to ruin them. I just have to ask where are you're from? Lead. As if food from the food capital of the world is normally cooked in lead. 😂 100 imaginary bucks says you're an American who's never set foot on the European continent. 😂 Humor me and tell me I'm wrong please! 😂
I love your travel videos because you bring us along for adventure to new and exciting places , allowing us to experience with you different cultures, history, events eg Gucci museum ,Versailles, and Venice carnival etc. it broadens our mind . It’s exciting to see new visuals , hear new stories. This is only my personal preference. I know you have other fans who love the “formula vlogs “ (bi weekly updates on the lalande flowers, veggies, animals, brocantes visits. Yes, like the father , son, and mule story, you can’t please everyone. This is why I like your bolder choices in decoration like the toile room on steroids. Not boring , wakes up the senses,Can’t mistake it for another chateau, so Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen
Enjoyed the Brocante spree. Agree with restrained buying as most of us tend to clutter. The horse really matched his counter part on the toilet stand. Best is Maria's salmon pie. Wow the layers, so neat. Enjoy your break
"Told you" the "toile room" needs the white oval embroidery in the center with just the two smaller frames on each side...and that's it...Your first choice was your best choice...You need a breathing space front and center to break up all that P I N K. !!!
When Winter is here, you will all be wishing for the fresh gourgettes of Summer! Well, maybe when Spring is here. I'm so happy the hedgehog has taken up residence at LaLande. They are good luck, you know. Amaurey is a true artist of his craft. Amazing talent he has. Have fun on vacation!💗
The irony is that till the 1700s in Europe, the color pink as a faded red was the color for boys and for the Virgin Mary the color blue was for girls. Then the fashion changed. Originally at the Chateau the boys and men would have wore pink.😘
When I used to read the "Little House on the Prairie" books I remember Laura always being jealous that her pretty sister with the blond hair always got to wear the feminine blue dresses and ribbons, but she was stuck with a less attractive (from her perspective) red dress, that I believe also had pink in it. So I think blue was also considered more feminine in the USA for a while. And when my dad was a boy his dress-shirts were often pink.
u r so right it must melt your hearts make your chandelier shopping very important and equally decided because the chateau deserves the best and they r expensive to begin so good job Stephanie I love to see u say no and stick up for the right ones ❤ so sensible I love that Philip can respect your good senses besides he got that peach chandelier so u r very fair considering it was not the best choice for a pale bathroom but still very nice
Amaury is such an amazing perfectionist! I've seen alot of hidden doors from back in the day, but never one as clever and invisible as this brilliant invention! The original Chatelaines would be very impressed! I once lived with a hidden door insidr a bookcase that covered the room a couple of hundred years old. That carpenter would know what Amaury is up to and really understand the mechanics of it all. It's a rare gift and asset to the Chateau as I'm sure we'll all marvel at once the grand salon is nearing completion! Suggestion:have a metal stamp made with either the Lalandr logo or the words Chateau Lalande Selection and buy any copper pots and pans you can get for decebt prices. Re-tin them, emboss with the stamp and sell in your shop at the Chateau and online. Those are VERY expensive outside France, and I'm sure you'd find happy buyers! You could do the same with table linnen, just order the little fabric tags online and sew on to any table cloths or lace curtains you like that are too small for your needs. Happy holiday Steph and Philip!
Stephanie cracks me up when she 'pounces' in like Tigger into the kitchen - usually the occupants seem surprised to be caught there. Wonder what these two were really talking about?! Haha! You do a perfect job Stephanie - so totally fun and covers everything I want to know about the food, brocantes, gardening, and door framing! Seriously, honest. 🦔🦔🦔🦚🦚
Amazing work Amaury. The secret door will look awesome. Welcome to the family Hook. Wow, the garden is full of produce. Love the peacock wind mill. I was given a sunflower type one for my birthday and I love it. I wonder if the horse bottle is Wild Country perfume. Years ago I had same from Avon. Telling my age, LOL. Too funny everyone betting on what time you would leave. Enjoy your trip guys. Abiento!
Living in the countryside limits entertainment. I suspect brocantes are entertainment like city folks going to the mall, or theatre, bowling, etc. Personally I love seeing the things at the brocante, but wish I could buy!!!!
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Amaury is so incredibly talented. I’ve been binge-watching Chateau DIY & love seeing the beautiful paneling he did for the Marquis’ Salon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love when Stephanie and Dan laugh and tease each other.....like when they were planting flowers in front of the Chapel
One can never have too many ramekins. They're the perfect size for all sorts of nibbles, treats, puddings, and deserts.
Always so comforting to see your chateaux family around you.

Tomato jam comes to my mind when watching Stephanie showing all those tomato plants full of beautiful fruits.
So impressed by your comment about how every object has been designed, made and used. We forget to really observe and appreciate objects.
You are always so lucky with wonderful cooks/chefs, but Maria is amazing with her meal creations!!
And piano concerts!
I enjoyed the video, thank you!!
The broccante shopping was very disciplined.🤣 I look forward to each one as you find and purchase treasures and bargains. I love it when Phillip says it's going to go in the shop but he seems to sneak it into the kitchen. You two have a lovely relationship and is an inspiration to see the joy in everything.💗
Cooper is the best. Sean and Michael collect it also.

So true. everytime i shop at a antique/flea/thrift i think about who designed it and how and when it was made. Thank you!!
Such a fun and funny vlog!! Enjoy your vacation!!
Appreciate all you do Stephanie in bring this to us. After all this time, I still look forward in seeing this and visiting all my friends here. Lalanders are the BEST. 🥰🥰🥰❤

Oh boy! nothing would get sold! Stephanie would keep it all!
So nice to see the B&B guests enjoying the vegetable garden. It'll be even nicer for them when the pergola is finished.
So good to see how much you love Lalande x great to see the hedgehog x
Looking out at our London garden which is suffering badly in the heatwave I wondered how the newly planted garden at Lelande is fairing in this heat. I know new plants need lots of water to get established.
If you watched other vlogs.😘 Amaury or Dan take the water van down to the English Garden twice a day.

Still fantastic cousin. Well done cous.👍
Amaury is a woodworking GOD!
Not really
@@mattwright3768 why ?
I agree - His work is top-notch. I enjoy seeing his work in progress and often learn a trick or two.
It’s as if Amaury was a carpenter when the castle was first built. They made hidden doors then.
Indeed.
Loving the horse. You cannot beat a Secret Door! Thank you for the video!

So glad that Hook decided to stay at La Lande ❤️🤗

I need Maria to make a cookbook!!
Think that a La Lande cookbook would be a great thing! Good for the shop too!
What a house full, everyone is having a great time. The garden sure is producing a lot of goodies!!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
What a Wonderful and Happy Place to Live 👌👍👏👏👏💕💕💕💕
Fun as usual!!
Amaury is so talented!!
Happy travels!!!
Lovely vlog , good buys and best wishes for a happy holiday.
At least you got photos of the tubby hedgehog!!! Adorable 😁
Those garden designs were beautiful, would look lovely in frames around the garden walls.
Hanging pictures outdoors seems inpractical though. The dew would ruin them in no time. But lovely indoors.
Hi Stephanie, during our last growing season I had a abundance of Zucchini’s (courgettes) as well, If you have freezer space, dice or grate and freeze. I’ve been using mine all winter here in Australia, they still fry nicely, or can be added to soups, stews, pasta etc. I used the grated ones for zucchini bread, delicious. Love watching you guys.
Great advice they can surely use! I have a great recepie for making vegetarian deep pan pizza using grated courgettes and sharp cheese in the crust, and it's delish!
With abundance of courgettes and aubergines I do like the italians do and slice lengthwize, salt and grill them and let them submerge in olive oil, garlic, herbs and sometimes peperoncino and serve with grilled meat or fish or on antipasti plates (they keep for a good 2 or 3 weeks in the fridge this way and are great in cold sandwiches too.)
For next year they should substitute some of the courgettes with more aubergines for pasta, babaganouch and fritters, and the more tasty forms of squash and pumpkins. All the pumpkin varieties keep for a long time once harvested and set in a cool place with air circulating around.
Eggplant is more useful than courgette too. Melons. All grow happily in the same bed in the same soil.
Also if you harvest the flowers before they turn to big fruit and suff them and fry them they are scrumptious!
Love that you love the peacock spinner! It looks awesome in the garden 😊
Recognise the wind peacock I have one in my garden. Interesting items at the braconte. Thanks for sharing.
Love the French driving music-don’t change it!
Wow that is some amazing workmanship! I live in an old house (Amsterdam 1600’s canal house) and can tell you this kind of quality is hard to find.
A beautiful vid and how gorgeous the chubby hedgehog is making his home there
😃‼️… so glad to see you all👍🏾😉

Re-tin them, emboss with the stamp and sell in your shop at the Chateau and online. Those are VERY expensive outside France, and I'm sure you'd find happy buyers! You could do the same with table linnen, just order the little fabric tags online and sew on to any table cloths or lace curtains you like that are too small for your needs.
Happy holiday Steph and Philip!
mummy loves lentils,me too you need too try deep fry them and add a pinch of salt and too salads soups,ect,ect So good!
Enjoy your holiday 🙂
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
I have to agree with the guys the pink room is enough to make you dizzy, too many patterns.
Stephanie cracks me up when she 'pounces' in like Tigger into the kitchen - usually the occupants seem surprised to be caught there. Wonder what these two were really talking about?! Haha! You do a perfect job Stephanie - so totally fun and covers everything I want to know about the food, brocantes, gardening, and door framing! Seriously, honest. 🦔🦔🦔🦚🦚
How lovely you accommodate your guest needs :)
Amazing work Amaury. The secret door will look awesome.
Welcome to the family Hook.
Wow, the garden is full of produce. Love the peacock wind mill. I was given a sunflower type one for my birthday and I love it.
I wonder if the horse bottle is Wild Country perfume. Years ago I had same from Avon. Telling my age,
LOL.
Too funny everyone betting on what time you would leave.
Enjoy your trip guys. Abiento!
At this point, Stepanie can introduce her videos with: Welcome to Brocante TV 😆
I love seeing the Brocantes, I never tire of it, but afterwards I’m always left with a bad case of shopping envy.
Living in the countryside limits entertainment. I suspect brocantes are entertainment like city folks going to the mall, or theatre, bowling, etc. Personally I love seeing the things at the brocante, but wish I could buy!!!!
😂
Fabulous as always! Thank you! Best wishes for a fun holiday! xx
