      In no way shape or form am I being paid for this but Curiosity Stream is amazing!!!! I’m huge documentary fan and I have not found a single doc or episode that I have seen previously. IF CuriosityStream is reading this (and as a former software developer I know you are always improving on things) would you please add >1 persons watching to the top of the list? In my household, my watching taste is very different than my daughter’s. Ie, I would like to have separate to-watch lists.
      This is the first time I’ve seen CS being advertised and I cannot recommend it enough!!!

    Poppy seeds can lie dormant in the soil for 70-100 years then when the soil gets disturbed it can “awaken” the seeds . This is probably what happened in your garden. This is also what happened during WW1 after the destruction of all the shells the seeds came back to life and really flourished in the fields of Flanders, which is why the Poppy became the symbol of Remembrance and the Royal British Legion.

    Planting potatoes where you want to have flowerbeds in future is a great idea, they break up the soil so the flowers will be easier to plant. My mother talks about her (perfect lawn obsessed) father planting potatoes before he planted a new lawn because it prepared the soil.

Hard to explain, but your shot of the dinner table has that same feeling… ❤

I half wonder if she could work part time at the flower farm making bouquets there for sale. She would love that. For someone who’s homeland is being ravaged by war she still manages to have such a happy and sunny disposition.

      Mummy had eye surgery. You're not supposed to bend or strain

      Isabelle was born blind in one eye. Last year, a wonderful doctor did surgery on both eyes, and she can now see out of both eyes. Stephanie is just protecting her mother. ❤❤❤

    😮😊😂❤…. Love Chris’ T-shirt from Intercourse Pennsylvania USA!!!! This little town is on the far side of our lovely county of Lancaster (we pronounce lank-KISS-stur). The name of this idyllic little town and several other similarly named local villages (Fertility, Bareville, Paradise)… show what the Amish have on their minds when they abstain from “worldly” activities!!! 😂. Not bashing, they are a beautiful people!!

    Idea for a book: Feasts and Treats at LaLande with photos, guest comments and the menus. Another title option:
    Entertaining Chateau Style
    A Feast for the Senses

    We were gifted some guineas many years ago since we lived on a farm. The individuals no longer could keep them. Their noise is as good as a watch dog. You always knew when someone or something new arrived on the property.

    It truly makes me happy as well to see Marie at LaLande, she is such a sweet girl and it's nice to see her feeling happy. Weeding is a task I actually like, as it is calming and the results are so satisfying. Isabelle reminds me of my mother once she gets a task she wants to do, it's hard to step away. Gosh the countryside is stunning in France! So many peacock babies and chicks, so darling. Your lunch looked so yummy! Your friends gardens are perfection! MMMmmm Honey, what a nice treat. I love a good summer rain! I am very excited about the chapel repairs, it will be a beautiful dream come to life! Phillips table looked so cheerful and summary! I agree with you regarding the after. I used to have that feeling as a child after dinner with family and I really miss those days. Thanks for sharing I really enjoyed todays video!
