Michael@thepethericks needs to do a watercolor of the picture with a chick! Organize a Ball to fundraise for the chapel.
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!!!
Stephane can I write you more personally , I 'm looking for some job.
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.
❤ I never knew this. Thank you
Thank you for this information, I would not have even guessed this.
Thanks for the info
Nice info..
And the wonderful poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae 🇨🇦
Maria should do a recipe book from the LaLande kitchen, proceeds could go to the chapel
Wow that would be a really great idea. I should also be sprinkled with porcelain paring like they do with 🍷 wine. Then several information sections about the eatable flowers. Can’t forget last year’s over stock of was it zucchini and she put it in the most creative dishes. Also is it Suzette that does the best painting.
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.
I understand your appreciation of the table after a meal! It is the last glimpse of a unique slice of time, never to be repeated exactly the same. And Phillip did set an exceptionally beautiful and inviting table!
Yes, I agree. The table is always beautiful but this time Philip’s table was … was heavenly. Like a summer afternoon…
I have the same problem as Phillip does as I collect English stoneware or transfer ware,. I particularly like the early stoneware with part transfer and hand painting from 1750s to 1850, much of it is just stunning.
I want to thank ALL the patrons supporting Stephanie and all the efforts being done at LaLande for their contributions. One days perhaps I may have the opportunity to visit and it will be because of all of you that I may see all of Amaury’s incredible work, the beautiful gardens and everyone I have come to appreciate SO MUCH at this magical place. Merci
Its so lovely to see Marie back but i do hope Pavlina hasnt been made redundant in relation to the flower arrangements xxxxxx
Steph or Phillip, whoever is answering comments for CD, stated that Pavlina prefers working in the garden, and painting, to flower arrangements and that she can still do flower arrangements anytime she wants to. So Pavlina is spending more time in the garden now.
I liked you showing the table after dinner.
Whenever I entertain on my zen patio, people always ask to help clean up, more than likely I decline any assistance. The combination of the pure evening air, half drunk glasses and empty serving dishes fill me with a calm, satisfied and happy feeling. Hard to explain, but your shot of the dinner table has that same feeling… ❤
May I just say dearest Stephanie the courtyard and fountain with its gardens are utter poetry. Your Papa MUST be able to see it and spend time being lulled by its essence, and be thrilled with the magic enchantment of fountain music. Bravo, thank you and greetings from Tahiti.
My Mum is nearly 88 and enjoys gardening. It is good for our elders to keep happy doing what they love.
As a geezer babe I concur 😂
The doctor doesn't recommend Isabelle leaning over due to her eyes. Isabelle was born blind in one eye, like her mother. Last year, she had surgery and can see out of both eyes now. The greenhouse would be a wonderful place for her to garden upright. ❤❤❤
@@carolinegooder7091thanks for saying this. It makes a lot of sense now. Also good advice about how not to put pressure on the 👀 eyes. ❤
Dear lalandets I watch your vlog for many years did all the catching up from the beginning what a joy and it saddens me to see all the dirtslingers posting my opinion if you do not like it don't watch but do not try to cut it down all the best love hugs ❤😊❤😊🎉
The table echoes of the laughter, communication and camaraderie. Because Philip puts his heart into each tablescape, a specific memory of the people, meal and conversation is locked in with it.
That was beautiful with lots a fun moments along the way. I'm so so happy Marie is back. I hope more people here will consider becoming a patron to help further the progress being made there. Pre-COVID before you appeared on the screen, I'm pretty sure I would have never considered helping to fund renovations on a chateau in France. Now I'm so happy to be a small, small part of the project. Life takes us down some twisting roads and I'm so glad I found your channel. Am I the only one who watches before bed and falls asleep with a smile on my face?
I do too @judynail1690, it makes for sweet dreams ❤
This channel for me brings a world of absolute joy, thanks to Stephanie..
Stephanie, it is impossible for Mommy to stay still❤😂 I love her energy.
Gee! Marie 's touch on floral arrangement is sooo adorable and Different, everytime 😍
Oh, Steph! Your mom is stubborn! Both of you will hurt tomorrow as if you played bowling. 😮😮❤❤
FYI: if you wear your sunglasses while driving in rain like that it helps cut the glare. You can see better.
He is wearing an Intercourse, PA shirt!!! Awesome!!!! So happy to see Lancaster County PA represented!! Guinea and Pea Fowl are so common in that area of the county!
I was just going to comment on this! I'm just south of the state line, in Claymont, DE! I love driving through Lancaster County, and stopping at the farm stands for fresh produce.
I mentioned the Intercourse, PA T shirt as well!@. I live about an hour and half from the heart of Amish Country; however, I live near an area where there are Amish who still use their horse and buggy.
@@stephaniedavis6531 Is there any other kind? 😉
@sanukfaninPA There is sect of Amish who are called Mennonites. Their lifestyle is a little bit more liberal. They are permitted to drive cars but only black cars.
So nice that Marie is back 😊..wonderful bouqets...
I absolutely love your drives through the countryside
We had guinea fowl when we were children... That noise ceases very quickly to be cute when they never shut up and the only way to not hear it is to drive away!!!! 😂
I'm so glad the work on the chapel is starting it is the most lovely of them all.Enjoyed watching Thank you
It seems like a bit more of a wait, as she was saying the work would start end of this year or beginning of next year, it will be nice to finally see something done in the chapel.
Please stay Marie you are so missed xxxxx
It is so wonderful to see Marie back snd she seems to be happy❤
The stalk of the artichoke - if you peel it - is edible too. So often people cut the stalks off when this is an extension of the artichoke heart!!
The best bit!
Marie’s meal looks delectable! Marie’s flowers with the chick is adorable! I’m so glad she’s back! I’m hoping for the best for the chapel restoration in the future.
So lovely to have Marie back! Missed her!
Lovely video! Especially nice to see more of Marie. She looks happy and her flowers are beautiful. Great to see her back home again at Lalande...😊
What a beautiful visit and lunch.
That garden was amazing. I loved seeing the pea chicks and their peacock. The little white and tan so cute.
I wish we would get a great rain storm to refresh our air and plants.
Mummy is adorable.
Looking forward to the restoration of the chapel. Exciting times ahead.
You’re so dedicated Stephanie and I’m glad you have Phillip in your life. Love all the people at LaLande. ❤❤❤❤❤
Have I missed if Pavlina has left? I love Pavlina, she's amazing😢
Yes, I am wondering, too--where is Pavlina? There was not even a mention of her...?? Seems odd.😔
I know Pavlina sometimes goes and stays with Steve and Sara. Now Marie is back she has lost her role as chateau florist which is sad as she did a lovely job. I hope she’s not too upset by that. 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.
The lovely Pavlina is definitely still here! She prefers the garden (and painting, she really likes painting) to floristry, but of course she can make bouquets whenever she wants to.
@@TheChateauDiaries Thats amazing xxx
@@saraheschweiler4939 Wondering what you are implying here????
Great job weeding!
Exciting that the chapel restoration is in progress. Beautiful gardens and flowers. Most enjoyable. 🦋
I agree the table is beautiful both ways, Another great vlog. Sending much love and rain 💖
Thank you so much for your consistantly wonderful, long videos! You are very generous and definitely a hard worker Stephanie. I wish you all good things, most sincerely.
I really enjoy this lovely couple, they’re so elegant & quite charming… Their chateau is absolutely beautiful!❤
I agree with your Mummy on this. You should wear garden gloves
The best revenge against the dock plants is to eat them! Apparently the stems are really good and the smaller leaves are also edible. Otherwise the chickens will love them.
Hello LaLande! Lavender is in the air! With the deep freeze last winter, we lost all lavender. Thankfully, new lavender plants arrived yesterday for the fairy 🧚♀️ garden. Your lavender looks amazing! Summertime!
I love to see Marie's creativity with flowers.....please don't let her leave the chateau......EVER!!!!
Please tell me you make rose petal jam with those gorgeous blooms. If not you MUST, you will swoon upon introduction xx Thank you for all your hard graft. Here is yet another gem. 🥰
Loved your gardening outfit. That turban was so chic.
I so love your mom! She reminds me so much of my own mother (who passed 3 years ago). You're so lucky to have her.
Yes indeed! Seeing the remains of a successful dinner party is soul satisfying. The before image is anticipation. The after image is satisfaction.
As always, a wonderful video,loved the chateau you and Phillip visited..so nice to see Marie settling in..the country side is so beautiful and all the rain..😊👍🇨🇦💖💞🕍
Stephanie, I feel like you need to find a pair of stylish walking/outdoor boots for when you do anything gardening related 😂🙌🤍
Isabelle’s “disobedience” to stop weeding😂
So enjoyable. You two just make me feel happy. Always smiling, laughing and loving each other. Your joy and passion for life is infectious ❤
I love the drive in the rain
yes, although a tad scary
Oh, the flowers and chick photo is wonderful.🐥🌼🌷🪻🩷
I read somewhere that guinea fowl eat ticks! Surely it's worth putting up with their cries so that you don't have to worry about having loads of ticks attached to you 😊
I can not imagine how long it took for that garden to look so beautiful. ❤
In the USA we use Guinea hens to eat ticks! So if there is an area on your property away from the Chateau were you want to get rid of the ticks they are great for that!
I would never dare to drive that fast with such poor visibility, glad you're both safe!
While watching her wipers battling to maintain visibility I was thinking she needs "raindance" it's an additive to the windsheild washer fluid and it causes water to bead and be shed easier. I use it year round.
Beautiful flower arra ging by Marie
The "After Dinner" scene looks like a set for a great painting.
Well done with the chapel planning. The restoration will be magnificent 🩷💙❤️
You and Philip serving epic outfits lately - him in his cropped sweater, denim shorts, oxford shoes, and you in the tea shirt, patterned tights, chicken socks. 👌It just shows that neither of you take yourselves too seriously. ❤
Also, I loooove that Marie Wiik is back! She’s come home.🥹💛
Marie has such a talent for flower arrangements. I believe she could make beautiful vegetable or fruit "arrangements" to decorate, like the ones that can be seeing in cooking magazines.
Any flower is beautiful in Marie's arrangements!❤
My mother is from Grenoble France she loved artichokes she would stuff them with parmesian garlic and bread crumbs after removing the spiney tips
Love the table. I hope to sit around it some day.
All you darling Laplanders are an, absolute treat to watch ❤️
Oh, is Marie from Lapland? How interesting.
Norway.
Your timer intro is fabulous.
If you can ever source a lavender distillery for lavender oils would be wonderful. The artichokes looked delicious, have to say I prefer butter and lemon juice to dunk.
As noisy as the hens are they are great for eating ticks.
I had to pull one off my cheek bone it must have been on my garden gloves and I wiped my brow. Ick! I had to use a magnifying mirror to see what I was doing- it has legs double ick. Tweezers worked.
Good to have a tick kit handy for anyone in need.
Upon seeing your ensemble "Tea For Two" began to play in my brainradio. The title Grey Gardens popped in too. 😉😄
Marie, use a baking soda and water slurry on the stained walls. Let it sit awhile and it will easily remove the soot.
Have you tried roasting the artichokes with oil, lemon, garlic and herbs? It’s so much tastier than just boiled
just the heart or the whole head?
Love the guinea hens. Used to have a bunch of them. Called them the nitwits because they are!
Your friends garden is amazing
Guinea fowl can be loud, it’s true. But where Guinea fowl live, there are never ticks. They love to hunt them and eat them.
Thank you for another amazing video. After all these years, you have not created a single dud video and you have inspired so many others! Deeply appreciated!
Maria so funny as usual her colorful personality is so breath taking ❤
I started tearing when you were pulling the weeds. 🥰 Good choice of music.
I loved the premiere video at the other chateau. I will have to rewatch later 😊
Is there a clash of interests now with Marie and Pavlina? It would be a great pity if Paulina could not carry on doing the flower arrangements for the house.
I think they are far too mature to have a clash of any kind. Most adults are better than that.
Pavlina has another herb garden this year and is doing her wonderful teas, some of which seem to be available to guests. Pavlina also does some of the flower arrangements. ❤❤❤
Stephanie Stephanie Stephanie, here in London and have watched from the very beginning and never commented but I nearly choked on my glass of wine when I heard you compare yourself to Nora Batty from (Last of the Summer Wine). Funny funny, I would say you would be Barbara Good from (The Good Life)a touch of class 👌. I don't think mummy would quite make it as Margo (or would she?). Thank you for all your hard work love love all the videos you put out and keep up the good work.
Beautiful flowers
My favouriye table decoration from Phillip so far! It is a poetry!! It is a real art whet you do, Phillip! And something else - I noticed that Maria decorated her menu in a harmony with the plates. Maybe she can show us how she choses the plates in the process of plating the food? Or not :) I was just wondering ❤
I don’t think Marie likes being in the bread room. 😂
Lovely video, interesting and varied, Loved it all.
I wonder if the brown patches in the grass show where walls used to be or maybe old walk ways in the past. 🤔 23:32 the previous owners of my home had a different driveway and if it gets too hot or drought that grass dies first. Just a thought. ❤
What is a beekeeper called?
Beekeepers, also known as apiarists, help bees take care of themselves. They provide bees with hives for shelter, medications and, as needed, new queens.
I'm glad Marie is back
“Mommy, Mommy, come onto the path!” Meanwhile, Mommy carries on weeding. “Mommy, I’m staging an intervention.” Meanwhile, Mommy carries on weeding. “Mommy, you know what the doctor said.” Meanwhile. . . 😂😂😂 In the end, it was distraction that won the day! Priceless 😂😂😂
Steph, that’s the most manual labor Ive seen you do !!! You go , girl !! You’re a tough girl !!!! 💪🏼👍🏻😁proud of you !
Stephanie, you can be ultra elegant but just at home gardening. This is why I like you. Mummy can weed, if she takes it easy? She looks very strong. A suggestion: i found when weeds are hard to pull, watering a bit softening the ground. Your mom is very stronf willed.
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!!
Oh thank you so much Stephanie!
Womderful to have Mummy, percy and now also Marie back!!!!!! Muxh love from Twee riviere, South Africa! Xxxxx
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
Thank you for sharing your vlog of the peacock chicks at the friends castle!
Marie’s flowers with the baby chick is super adorable!!! Merci Beaucoup!!!🐥🥰
Cute little babie chicks!
Another wonderful video.Marie's flower arrangements are beautiful.I love a table after dinner remembering all the memories made.❤
Mommy is very head strong 😂😂😂🤣🤣❤️. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
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.
Love love seeing Marie interacting with Stephanie about her flowers love it
Awesome video, just lovely!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Such inspiration!!!
Chateau de la Motte is absolutely beautiful 😍
The chapel is so magical - you are all just incredible
Oh those gorgeous cut flowers. 🌹🪻🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐🥀
My heart beasts soooo fast when I see that Stephanie has posted a video! Yeaaaaaaah! Watching now!❤️❤️❤️
❤ lovely vlog!! Mummy! No pulling weeds! Please!! I worked in my garden today and was exhausted!! You need to protect your health/eyes! Stephanie, Here too in Canada we have to cover up when working in the garden against the darn ticks!! So lovely seeing Marie, right where she belongs!! So happy rhe chapel will be taken care of!! We eat artichokes like your friends (my hubby was born in France!). Sending hugs from moi in Canada!
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!
