This video is 3 years old and I just watched it. Watching some of your older ones . I adore Mummy. She’s such a treasure but this video will be so amazing for you to have forever
I'm just happy. Seeing everyone at lalande has become my new favourite thing. Mummy, Stephanie, Selmar, Antoine, Diessel, Percy, Marie, the sheeps, the elusive nick and the land! Just fills me with this fluffy feeling that i don't know how to describe...
Loved hearing Mummy talking about HER garden, I can’t believe all the work she has done, she is always on the go.......can’t wait to see all the tomatoes you are going to have....you will have to have a canning day to make up lots of tomato sauce and sun dried tomatoes....Isabelle you are a wonder......take care .......Donna in Toronto
Dear Stephanie, in Greece we gather the tomatoes in the summer and make tomato juice or paste to store for the winter. We keep them in glass jars and use them when cooking. That is for the big tomatoes. Small ones we sun dry. It will be a nice touch ffor your guests to know that the tomato sauce in their food is from the garden.
🍅 Excellent suggestions for using up a tomato crop. We had an over abundance of cherry tomatoes 1 year. They were so sweet & delicious, you'd want to eat them like a grape. 🤗 We're spoiled in California w/a gorgeous variety of mostly affordable produce, esp. avocados. Fresh guacamole w/tortilla chips or avocado toast are a staple. Avos do well in a smoothie as a base w/Greek yogurt, honey, & frozen mixed berries too🍓. 🥑Slightly sweet & nutty, they're delicately earthy w/a velvety taste. Utter perfection paired w/cilantro, onions, tomatoes & all kinds of cheese🧀. 💚
Teresa Carle oh I see! Well the fact is that in Greece we have an abundance of fresh produce all year long, so I never bothered trying an avocado which is not locally grown and six euros a piece! But I am sure it is great 🥑
Dear Isabel(Mummy) This channel has been a real source of Escape for a Break for me these last few months as I too am on lockdown. Actually my family has rightly had me on lockdown since last November when I rec'd a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and decided to do the chemo/ radiation treatments. Good news tho my PT scan showed last week the tumors are gone! So we are hopeful. Now back to Isabel. This episode is my favorite so far. 🐬I love the garden , the greenhouse and all of your little stories that go along with the adventure. It ties in well with my memory of Stephanie doing the repairs on the greenhouse on a different chateau program which has now been supplanted by your family's channel as a favorite. I remember how excited Stephanie was to surprise you with the finished project. As a mother of 4 ( 34- 50 years of age) I always enjoy your contributions to the program and obviously your daughter adores and respects your imput at the Chateau. Also, you have shown great fortitude,grace and patience in your unexpected quarantine and separation from Percy. You are lovely inside and out and I notice quite a dab hand with the camera as well. Thank you once again Marjorie from South Georgia USA. 🌸
Mummy is a beautiful and elegant woman. I lost my mom in 2019 . So still having a mom is a wonderful gift . I love watching Mummy and her sense of humor too!
Your Mother reminds me so much of my Grandmother. She is classy and with spunk and loves her garden. My Grandma was the same. She passed away a year ago now and I miss her.
Seeing that your Mum got her seeds from Baker's Creek says everything about your Mum's gardening. They are one, if not the, the world's premiere heirloom seed companies.
Where can you find a Lady on a lawnmower and in her garden wearing all white/creme outfit... As well as another Lady in a Versace looking silk dress with rubber boots on to show her bee area and future orchard plans? CdL where else!
I just love hearing Isabelle talking - she’s so naturally funny, as well as being bright and interesting. She could get a full time job doing ASMR videos. Thanks Stephanie for the terrific videos x
Sarah Eschweiler - ASMR or Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, it’s a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. Have a look at the ASMR RUclips videos for ‘Gentle Whispering’ or ‘Nana Fox’, or ‘Whispers Red’ - you’re in for a treat. You’ll hear that Isabelle would be genius at ASMR whispered or soft spoken videos x
@@alisonmulholland167, thank you so much for your kind & thoughtful response. I will check out your recommendations! Many blessings to you, dear! 🙏🌿🌻🌿💙🌿🌻🌿🙏
I absolutely love mummy & her garden! ”the strawberries don’t travel well to the kitchen”! 😂🍓!! What a lovely video Stephanie! I remember when the garden house windows were replaced! There is plenty of summer goodness in the garden! 🌱🥬🧅🥔🍅
Mummy is adorable, in fact you are all pretty gorgeous. Please keep doing what you are doing and spreading the fun and love to all of us stuck indoors. :(
It’s so lovely to get to see more of the garden and to hear your mother talking about her passion for caring for it! I’m excited to hear that you’re planning on having cut flower beds. I’m sure they’ll be absolutely beautiful. You may already be aware, but Floret Farm has the most glorious cut flower fields and sell their curated seeds. The flower varieties they have and create are gorgeous!
It's lovely to see you caring for the garden and the chateau! I hope everything you wish will become true! An idea for future: have a world map and each tourist or workawayer could put a pin from where they are from:) have a nice and sunny day everybody!
Hello Stephanie I love your mummy she so lovely her face lights up with all the plants she’s definitely on her element in the greenhouse she has found her calling nothing better than growing plants and vegetables I love it I can’t wait to see all the plants when they start to grow I think if I was there I would not be able to leave your mom is like you she definitely on a mission when she gets ideas and vision you both can see end result that’s what it is all about keep up the great work look forward to the next vlog stay safe all of you
I can't even describe the joy you Stephanie, and mummy bring me while you meander your beautiful garden. ❤️❤️💐🌸👍🏼🌞🐝🌲 Thank you for creating your Vlogs..
The pots in your greenhouse are phenomenal. Such a nice rustic greenhouse. It is hard to say which greenhouse I like the most, yours or Michael’s with the picturesque gardeners’ cottage. His greenhouse may be better with more solar exposure, but you have the golden gardener! I love your mother.
I could listen to Mommy all day! Happy Mother's Day to you. I lost my Mother when I was 14 years old and she has been gone 50 years now. You don't know how lucky you are Stephanie.
The Chateau de la Lande is a whole world, there are so many curious and beautiful things, it is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait for the lockdown to end to go on vacation with my family.
My sister and I discovered your channel from Michael's channel. RUclips served us up the Murder at the chateau episode. Your guest appearance is so much fun! We finished watching all of his videos and now we are binge watching all of yours! We are absolutely loving it. In this episode your Mummy Isobel is darling and is making us miss our mom. She passed away five years ago. Thanks for sharing yours with us.
Believing this would be my least favorite episode, because I'd rather be inside a chateau, has turned to one of my favorites. Brought back memories of my grandfather who would plant roses and had a magic enclosure of berries. Thank you!
Mummy needs a wicker arm chair, kettle, tea and coffee, a cat 🐱🐈for the mice,🐭🐁plus a gardener to help. She can then be Head Gardener! What a delightful person she is. Stephanie, geese are your answer for the orchard to keep the grass down and bugs at bay.
Oh, thank you, Stephanie, for another great video. I enjoyed it so much .... Mummy did a great job, both in the greenhouse and in giving the tour! And the greenhouse is such a great space! There is such a wonderful energy between you two; mother and daughter. You are both very blessed.
Ah... subjects so dear to my heart! Growing vegetables, flowers, herbs is a passion of me. I also grow a LOT of vegetables for the food bank, here. Do you know you can make a delicious jam/jelly out of these yummie red clovers? Just blanche the flowers, let sit overnight, strain and jelly them up! Thank you so much, again!! 💕 (i also have at least 5 Christmas trees every year! 🤣)
The Chateau Diaries There are many edible flowers and well, almost anything edible can be made into jams. 😄 A few weeks back I made beautiful yellow dandelion jam. Back in the days it was called ‘poor man’s honey’ and it does taste like honey, a very delicate jam. In a few weeks I’ll make jam from chèvrefeuille, a first for me! Those red clover flowers also look very pretty over a salad/bread if you sprinkle them. Bon apetitte! 😉
Lovely video Stephanie! You are so lucky to have such a wonderful Mummy who is such a go-getter! I admire her spirit as she just eludes such a gentle love of life....
I have been waiting for this video! As an avid gardener I dream of having a walled garden and all that space!! There is nothing more peaceful than spending a day in the garden plotting and planting where all your plants will go.I think your mom has found her happy place!
Hi Stephanie 💞🕊💐 Adore yu all for bringing Life back into the chateau" Well done mommy the garden is Very beautiful 🍃🥕🥦🍠🥬🥔🍅 🍋🍇🍐🍏🍒🍎🍓 🌷🌼🌻🌺🥀🌹🏵⚘💐🐝🐝🍯😁 I very much like the green house, Very organized in deed" 👍🧚♀️ Truly beautiful garden, my darling's please keep us Updated on the garden With more of mommy🥰as well
I could cheerfully live there in the garden and be helpful. I still love to 'eat' clover and I was thrilled at the ancient sorrel🥰. I love all your videos.... but this was truly beautiful. xx
Yes I watch two perhaps three of your episodes from last year every day… Fills me with inspiration and joy… Just wondering if perhaps Selmar could use a scythe to cut the long grass in the section where your fruit trees are? Loved seeing the gardens and the wonderful greenhouse! Your mother is a joy to see and listen to… Thank you for sharing your lives with us!😊💕
I am the American version of Isabel. I have a passion for growing everything. I love well made tools, and I wear funny garden hats. I also hate when the mowing tractor gives me trouble. No chateau here in Oklahoma. I live in a 4 bedroom ranch house with French country decor on 5 acres. Isabel we are definitely kindred spirits. Thanks you Stephanie, besides gardening you vlogs have been a lot of company during quarantine. I am a 63 year old widow and live alone. Thank you for keeping us company during this isolation. Much love to all the Chateau family❤
Stephanie, you and mummy have inspired me lol I’ve always tried to “do it myself” and mostly have - but sometimes a bit of help has to be brought in or soon your buried in just too much.
Hey Stephanie! I was thinking if you maybe added * - The Chateau Diaries * to the end of your titles as it might help beat the algorithm to bring more traffic to the channel! Your videos and energy is amazing I hope your channel blows up so much more! Adding the extra to the title might also bring traffic from people looking up the TV shows, also like every youtuber ask the normal "Hit the bell icon so you know when our new videos go live", the algorithm also ranks/rates your videos on the number of subscribers that watch your video right after it's been published. x
What a wonderful mommy you have! It was very touching to hear her express how she wished everyone could enjoy a lifestyle of gardens, fruit trees, and open land. She demonstrates a generous spirit and thinking of others. Quite a Lady. I would love to travel to visit this paradise one day 🤠
Your Mommy makes me miss mine. There is no one who loves you like your mother does and you never really appreciate it until it is gone. Fortunately, I get the joy of watching your mother and the rest of your family and friends. I have never been to France but I feel like I have had a taste of it through watching your vlogs. I live in Canada but I know that someday I will get to France. Maybe I will stay at the Chateau Lalande.
The most beautiful thing in the green house, is MUMMY. She looks so gorgeous ❗️ I just adore her zest for life. She could have been an actress. We have a little mouse, & “Every radish is tested”. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I love seeing the work that is being done to restore the garden in the chateaux. It's just as interesting to see the garden as it is to see the work being done inside! Please do this kind of video again!
This is one of my favorite vlogs thus far! Mummy truly has a green thumb 💚 Also, your Pierre de Ronsard roses look so healthy and beautiful. I also have two PdR Eden roses and agree they are outstanding!
Really enjoyed today’s video but I cried some sweet tears, again your Mommy brings back my Grand-mere , it is amazing how she sounds just like her. My husband was listening and he said, “ that sounds like you Grandma” , so neat and she sure has a green thumb❣️Your land is glorious and the honey looks so orange......yum. My husband asked why I am so drawn to your chateau and you and my answer is....home, I am at home and understanding My ancestors little bit more, my Grandfather was a Scott ( Maxwell) and my Grand-mere was French ❣️
Absolutely fell in love with your chateau you your fabulous mummy and all the amazing content you all brought to escape to the chateau diy. And now I have discovered the chateau diaries. Continued success and your mummy is just the funniest lady even if she dosent mean to be x
Hi Stephanie- lovely ramble though the garden today ❤️ l’m learning that having a chateau means having lots and lots of patience and vision. Enjoying the beauty of every moment. Thank you.
I loved seeing more of your beautiful garden Stephanie! Your mother is such a wonderful gardener. I hope she can become the lead, and have other busy hands to work with her. As a fellow gardener, I understand her passion, but can no longer do all the work. The fresh produce and flowers are a dream.
That was a special one. I was remembering only a few hours ago how my Mum once surveyed their land, saying “I have a dream”, while moving her arm across the layout of the land. That moment was said at her funeral. People thought she was crazy but she helped create a wonderful garden. And like your Mum, couldn’t go anywhere without pulling out some weeds 😅 and also the way she would get cross and hyper fixated. Your Mum is such a character, utterly authentic and quick witted and humorous. Anyway, this ramble is marvelling at the coincidence of my memories and your Mum (and her saying I have a dream). May she live for decades more, and with her Percy.
We love Mummy and her greenhouse. Our gardening shed is where we sit and have our tea/coffee breaks just staring out at the garden and hillside, bird sound and peace. Your so lucky to have such an amazing mum.
Love your Mother......made me cry and miss my Mom and Grandmother memories. Thank you. So precious. Love you. WE need a garden show with your Mother every week PLEASE 🙏❤️. or every Month
How lovely was this! This morning in Seacoast New Hampshire, our temperature dropped to near freezing, and the winds have whipped wildly about! It was necessary to bring inside my little condo all the young annual plants and some shrubs that are not yet in the pots where they are destined to be planted! This awful situation is the result of a cold front coming down from Canada that also brought snow flurries with the winds- more like March weather than a day in May. To garden at all, one must be determined and resilient! Thank you for this lovely stroll that took my mind off this difficult day🙂
You are living the dream. 💛 I love how enthusiastic is your mother and how lovely she talks about the garden. I used to suck on those flowers when I was young. Oh, the memories.
As children we would suck on those clover flowers also ! My Pierre de Ronsard is laden with blooms this year, I planted it two years ago but it took a while to get started. It is one of the most exquisite roses. Love walled gardens !!
I think the real miracle here is Isabelle wearing all white and looking like not a stain in sight in the garden! I love it 😂💖 such a beautiful walled garden!
When I was a kid I used to eat the sweet part of that little flower as your mum did in the vlog! ^^ and I am 22 yo so it is something kids did at least up to 15 years ago, I don't know about now ahah
I learned to do that when I was about 6, I think. I'm 19 now, haha. It's a knowledge that I feel many parents pass down to their children when living in the countryside, at least where I'm from.
This video is 3 years old and I just watched it. Watching some of your older ones . I adore Mummy. She’s such a treasure but this video will be so amazing for you to have forever
I'm just happy. Seeing everyone at lalande has become my new favourite thing. Mummy, Stephanie, Selmar, Antoine, Diessel, Percy, Marie, the sheeps, the elusive nick and the land! Just fills me with this fluffy feeling that i don't know how to describe...
Ria it is so nice isn’t it 🥰
me too- luv this very much- bright, cheerful and makes you feel great while watching and after.
🌷💗💜❣️💜💗🌷
Me too, it has become a highlight of my day. 😍🌈
totally agree, its been my salvation during lockdown!
Viewing in May 2024. Isabel looks so happy and proud of the greenhouse and gardens. She truly is a delight. 😊
Stephanie deserves so many more subscribers! Let’s get her to 100k!
Joy Plyler & Co. I agree
I am working on it! 💗😘
I agree.......🤗🤗🤗
I so agree! She's been doing this for a long time and deserve it!
I’ve been posting her videos everywhere I go😂
Your mummy is the most elegant gardener and very brave to wear all white!
Right? I wear my more worn out clothes when I garden 😆
"We are very rich in sticks " "I 'am going to be rich in tomatoes,.." Good one mummy!
Lovely to hear Isabelle talking about the garden,such enthusiasm.
Loved hearing Mummy talking about HER garden, I can’t believe all the work she has done, she is always on the go.......can’t wait to see all the tomatoes you are going to have....you will have to have a canning day to make up lots of tomato sauce and sun dried tomatoes....Isabelle you are a wonder......take care .......Donna in Toronto
Dear Stephanie, in Greece we gather the tomatoes in the summer and make tomato juice or paste to store for the winter. We keep them in glass jars and use them when cooking. That is for the big tomatoes. Small ones we sun dry. It will be a nice touch ffor your guests to know that the tomato sauce in their food is from the garden.
@Dennis Patrick Fun fact: I have never eaten an avocado! XD
@@geenagr it's an acquired taste imo. I eat them because they are so good for us but I'd never just eat one by itself because I live avocados lol
@Dennis Patrick great suggestion! Gazpacho is very popular here in the desert of southern Arizona, USA ☺
🍅 Excellent suggestions for using up a tomato crop. We had an over abundance of cherry tomatoes 1 year. They were so sweet & delicious, you'd want to eat them like a grape. 🤗
We're spoiled in California w/a gorgeous variety of mostly affordable produce, esp. avocados. Fresh guacamole w/tortilla chips or avocado toast are a staple. Avos do well in a smoothie as a base w/Greek yogurt, honey, & frozen mixed berries too🍓. 🥑Slightly sweet & nutty, they're delicately earthy w/a velvety taste. Utter perfection paired w/cilantro, onions, tomatoes & all kinds of cheese🧀. 💚
Teresa Carle oh I see! Well the fact is that in Greece we have an abundance of fresh produce all year long, so I never bothered trying an avocado which is not locally grown and six euros a piece! But I am sure it is great 🥑

I’m delighted to hear that you’ve had such good news recently ❤️❤️❤️
👍🏻🌻🌈
Isabelle is such a charming woman. She looks nice all in white with the blue flower brooch. Just nice and pretty.... Greetings to her from Germany.
Mummy is a beautiful and elegant woman. I lost my mom in 2019 . So still having a mom is a wonderful gift . I love watching Mummy and her sense of humor too!
Your Mother reminds me so much of my Grandmother. She is classy and with spunk and loves her garden. My Grandma was the same. She passed away a year ago now and I miss her.
Your Mummy describes the beautiful garden so well. I learn so many garden tips from her. 👩🏼🌾🥰
Seeing that your Mum got her seeds from Baker's Creek says everything about your Mum's gardening. They are one, if not the, the world's premiere heirloom seed companies.
ISABELLE LOOKS SO GLAMOROUS WHILE SHE’S GARDENING! I LOVE HER ENTHUSIASM! LOVE TO ALL AT THE CHATEAU FROM AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
I admire your Mom for her knowledge and joy of the garden. My Grand Father was a gardener.
Where can you find a Lady on a lawnmower and in her garden wearing all white/creme outfit... As well as another Lady in a Versace looking silk dress with rubber boots on to show her bee area and future orchard plans? CdL where else!
Everything I wear when painting or gardening can never be wore again in public. How do these ladies do it. Very gracious, they are
I'm an avid gardener and understand her passion for her area.
And look now at what their hopeful attitude and dreams have realised, isn’t it wonderful! 😀❤️
i see that mummy is adorned with accessories sent to her. It's wonderful to see her making use of the gifts.
I just love hearing Isabelle talking - she’s so naturally funny, as well as being bright and interesting. She could get a full time job doing ASMR videos. Thanks Stephanie for the terrific videos x
I love ASMR!! Never thought of Mummy making them!
What is "ASMR"? What does that mean, please?
Sarah Eschweiler - ASMR or Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR), sometimes auto sensory meridian response, it’s a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. Have a look at the ASMR RUclips videos for ‘Gentle Whispering’ or ‘Nana Fox’, or ‘Whispers Red’ - you’re in for a treat.

I love how Mummy comes to life when she speaks about her garden , she is such a funny lady 👩🏼🦳
I absolutely love mummy & her garden! ”the strawberries don’t travel well to the kitchen”! 😂🍓!! What a lovely video Stephanie! I remember when the garden house windows were replaced! There is plenty of summer goodness in the garden! 🌱🥬🧅🥔🍅
Mummy is adorable, in fact you are all pretty gorgeous. Please keep doing what you are doing and spreading the fun and love to all of us stuck indoors. :(
Ah lala!
Where can I get a "Mummy"? I want an adorable "mummy" who gardens, wearing a large flower and matching hat ribbon. Magnifique!
It’s so lovely to get to see more of the garden and to hear your mother talking about her passion for caring for it! I’m excited to hear that you’re planning on having cut flower beds.

I hadn’t heard of them! Thank you, I’ll look them up!
Mummy is just amazing. She has made the walled garden into such a place of abundance. xoxo
Just lovely! The garden is so nice and you work so hard. You two ladies have abundance of charm and energy.
It's lovely to see you caring for the garden and the chateau! I hope everything you wish will become true! An idea for future: have a world map and each tourist or workawayer could put a pin from where they are from:) have a nice and sunny day everybody!

The pots in your greenhouse are phenomenal. Such a nice rustic greenhouse. It is hard to say which greenhouse I like the most, yours or Michael’s with the picturesque gardeners’ cottage. His greenhouse may be better with more solar exposure, but you have the golden gardener! I love your mother.
“Mummy” is an absolute treasure!
I could listen to Mommy all day! Happy Mother's Day to you. I lost my Mother when I was 14 years old and she has been gone 50 years now. You don't know how lucky you are Stephanie.
Yes my Mummy died suddenly when I was 11, Ive lived 60 years now without her, treasure your Mums, while you have them folks.
The Chateau de la Lande is a whole world, there are so many curious and beautiful things, it is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait for the lockdown to end to go on vacation with my family.

I’m so sorry to hear about your mother. My father died 10 years ago, so I can imagine what you’re going through. ❤️❤️❤️
kelareli so sorry for your loss. It never passes.
i just dont get how somebody could give a dislike?!
There is nothing bad about this!❤️🇨🇿
Rewatching the vlogs again in 2022 & i’ m shouting at the screen “don’t worry Mummy Dan will be with you soon” 😁. Xxx❤️🇬🇧😘😍
Believing this would be my least favorite episode, because I'd rather be inside a chateau, has turned to one of my favorites. Brought back memories of my grandfather who would plant roses and had a magic enclosure of berries. Thank you!
Mummy needs a wicker arm chair, kettle, tea and coffee, a cat 🐱🐈for the mice,🐭🐁plus a gardener to help. She can then be Head Gardener! What a delightful person she is. Stephanie, geese are your answer for the orchard to keep the grass down and bugs at bay.
What a great idea!
Oh, thank you, Stephanie, for another great video. I enjoyed it so much .... Mummy did a great job, both in the greenhouse and in giving the tour! And the greenhouse is such a great space! There is such a wonderful energy between you two; mother and daughter. You are both very blessed.
Nothing like being self sufficient with a glorious garden. Mummy's hard work is paying off!! Thank you for the tour.
Ah... subjects so dear to my heart! Growing vegetables, flowers, herbs is a passion of me. I also grow a LOT of vegetables for the food bank, here.
Do you know you can make a delicious jam/jelly out of these yummie red clovers? Just blanche the flowers, let sit overnight, strain and jelly them up!
Thank you so much, again!! 💕
(i also have at least 5 Christmas trees every year! 🤣)
WOW! That’s amazing, I had no idea they could be made into a jam!

Those red clover flowers also look very pretty over a salad/bread if you sprinkle them. Bon apetitte! 😉
My husband (who sometimes peeks while I’m watching your vlogs) said: “ohh Mummy it’s as stylish and artistic as the daughter!” ❤️😂
I love the self-sufficiency of these Chateau walled gardens....water supply included. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden ❤
One Who loves nature must have a true wonderful soul!
Watching this in September 2023 😀
Lovely video Stephanie! You are so lucky to have such a wonderful Mummy who is such a go-getter! I admire her spirit as she just eludes such a gentle love of life....
I have been waiting for this video! As an avid gardener I dream of having a walled garden and all that space!! There is nothing more peaceful than spending a day in the garden plotting and planting where all your plants will go.I think your mom has found her happy place!
"Now I really need to find my Mother." Shows how big this place is.
Hi Stephanie 💞🕊💐
Adore yu all for bringing
Life back into the chateau"
Well done mommy the garden is
Very beautiful 🍃🥕🥦🍠🥬🥔🍅

I very much like the green house,
Very organized in deed" 👍🧚♀️
Truly beautiful garden,
my darling's please keep us
Updated on the garden
With more of mommy🥰as well
Your dear Maman is an absolute joy 😚
If I had the financial means, I would move to Lalande in a tiny house as a gardener.
Is there a place more beautiful? ♡
That's just what I was thinking, too - can hardly think of anything better than that 😍
Stephanie, isabelle and co you have the most amazing attitude. You never fail to cheer me up. Much love from Kent in UK xx
I could cheerfully live there in the garden and be helpful. I still love to 'eat' clover and I was thrilled at the ancient sorrel🥰. I love all your videos.... but this was truly beautiful. xx
Yes I watch two perhaps three of your episodes from last year every day… Fills me with inspiration and joy…
Just wondering if perhaps Selmar could use a scythe to cut the long grass in the section where your fruit trees are?

You need to plant Jazmine's in your green house, they smell good.
I just recently experienced Jasmine. What a beautiful scent. I knew of it, just thought it was a sweet floral but it's not. It's just right.
And Night Blooming Jasmine and midnight morning glories for the Chapel💜💜💜
Isabelle! You are a joy to listen to!!!
I can't wait to see you and Michael Petherick reunited after lockdown is over!
I love your Mummy, she is so sweet. Absolutely love her garden and greenhouse!
That was so lovely. Gardens are hard work but so good for the soul. 💖
Isabelle is so charming, enthusiastic, beautiful, precious, lovely... I could go on and on! I could listen to her for hours!
my beloved channel again. thank you. we want Michael to join you and paint rooms again. Michael you belong to Lalande
Hey Stephanie! I was thinking if you maybe added * - The Chateau Diaries * to the end of your titles as it might help beat the algorithm to bring more traffic to the channel!

Adding the extra to the title might also bring traffic from people looking up the TV shows, also like every youtuber ask the normal "Hit the bell icon so you know when our new videos go live", the algorithm also ranks/rates your videos on the number of subscribers that watch your video right after it's been published. x
Oh I enjoyed the garden immensely, Mummy is the delight of my heart.
Oh "Mummy"! Isabel is my spirit animal. I would love to spend the summer working in this lovely potager with her!
What a wonderful mommy you have! It was very touching to hear her express how she wished everyone could enjoy a lifestyle of gardens, fruit trees, and open land. She demonstrates a generous spirit
and thinking of others. Quite a Lady. I would love to travel to visit this paradise one day 🤠
Luv ur mother - what an elegant, happy woman!
Your Mommy makes me miss mine. There is no one who loves you like your mother does and you never really appreciate it until it is gone. Fortunately, I get the joy of watching your mother and the rest of your family and friends. I have never been to France but I feel like I have had a taste of it through watching your vlogs. I live in Canada but I know that someday I will get to France. Maybe I will stay at the Chateau Lalande.
The most beautiful thing in the green house,
is MUMMY.
She looks so
gorgeous ❗️
I just adore her
zest for life.
She could have been an actress.
We have a little mouse, &
“Every radish is tested”.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Amazing garden your mum has the green finger bug a picnic area would be lovly x
Such a wonderful place! No loud traffic noise! No fire works, just lovelyness 👍🙋🧚🕊️🤗❤️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mommy isabelle is such a natural charmer. Love her.
I am so delighted that you have another vlog. Just finished the one you published yesterday.
I love seeing the work that is being done to restore the garden in the chateaux. It's just as interesting to see the garden as it is to see the work being done inside! Please do this kind of video again!
That was one of my favorite vlogs where Michael had you on his shoulders and took off running with you. 🤣
I loved that vlog too--it was filled with fun. I think that's the one where Mr. Petherick stole a quick little kiss under some mistletoe. Adorable! 💗
Loved it!!...."either from the speed of my tractor or the wind!"....😂😂 love from South Africa....
This is one of my favorite vlogs thus far! Mummy truly has a green thumb 💚 Also, your Pierre de Ronsard roses look so healthy and beautiful. I also have two PdR Eden roses and agree they are outstanding!
Really enjoyed today’s video but I cried some sweet tears, again your Mommy brings back my Grand-mere , it is amazing how she sounds just like her. My husband was listening and he said, “ that sounds like you Grandma” , so neat and she sure has a green thumb❣️Your land is glorious and the honey looks so orange......yum. My husband asked why I am so drawn to your chateau and you and my answer is....home, I am at home and understanding My ancestors little bit more, my Grandfather was a Scott ( Maxwell) and my Grand-mere was French ❣️
🙏🏻🌷💗🌷🙏🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Oh how very restful and comforting this was. Merci becoup.
This was a wonderful tour Mummy and Stephanie! Please keep us updated on the garden.💗
Absolutely fell in love with your chateau you your fabulous mummy and all the amazing content you all brought to escape to the chateau diy. And now I have discovered the chateau diaries. Continued success and your mummy is just the funniest lady even if she dosent mean to be x
Hi Stephanie- lovely ramble though the garden today ❤️ l’m learning that having a chateau means having lots and lots of patience and vision. Enjoying the beauty of every moment. Thank you.
I loved seeing more of your beautiful garden Stephanie! Your mother is such a wonderful gardener. I hope she can become the lead, and have other busy hands to work with her. As a fellow gardener, I understand her passion, but can no longer do all the work. The fresh produce and flowers are a dream.
Absolutely amazing being self sufficient...it’ll be nice when the orchards are finished. ❤️💘💖💗🏴🇬🇧
I'm agog at the cracking pace of vlog uploads. You're very hardworking!
That was a special one. I was remembering only a few hours ago how my Mum once surveyed their land, saying “I have a dream”, while moving her arm across the layout of the land. That moment was said at her funeral. People thought she was crazy but she helped create a wonderful garden. And like your Mum, couldn’t go anywhere without pulling out some weeds 😅 and also the way she would get cross and hyper fixated. Your Mum is such a character, utterly authentic and quick witted and humorous. Anyway, this ramble is marvelling at the coincidence of my memories and your Mum (and her saying I have a dream). May she live for decades more, and with her Percy.
We love Mummy and her greenhouse. Our gardening shed is where we sit and have our tea/coffee breaks just staring out at the garden and hillside, bird sound and peace. Your so lucky to have such an amazing mum.
Love your Mother......made me cry and miss my Mom and Grandmother memories. Thank you. So precious. Love you. WE need a garden show with your Mother every week PLEASE 🙏❤️. or every Month
How lovely was this! This morning in Seacoast New Hampshire, our temperature dropped to near freezing, and the winds have whipped wildly about! It was necessary to bring inside my little condo all the young annual plants and some shrubs that are not yet in the pots where they are destined to be planted! This awful situation is the result of a cold front coming down from Canada that also brought snow flurries with the winds- more like March weather than a day in May. To garden at all, one must be determined and resilient! Thank you for this lovely stroll that took my mind off this difficult day🙂
You are living the dream. 💛 I love how enthusiastic is your mother and how lovely she talks about the garden. I used to suck on those flowers when I was young. Oh, the memories.
Mummy is a wonder. I always feel so much better after watching your vlogs.
*Luv your mom!*
As children we would suck on those clover flowers also ! My Pierre de Ronsard is laden with blooms this year, I planted it two years ago but it took a while to get started. It is one of the most exquisite roses. Love walled gardens !!
I would just be in heaven working in a garden at a chateau, there’s so much possibility to create beauty!
I think the real miracle here is Isabelle wearing all white and looking like not a stain in sight in the garden! I love it 😂💖 such a beautiful walled garden!
I love watching La Lande because of full of life inside and out!
When I was a kid I used to eat the sweet part of that little flower as your mum did in the vlog! ^^ and I am 22 yo so it is something kids did at least up to 15 years ago, I don't know about now ahah
I learned to do that when I was about 6, I think. I'm 19 now, haha. It's a knowledge that I feel many parents pass down to their children when living in the countryside, at least where I'm from.
Re-watching this again for god knows what time, Mummy in wonderful! What an absolute darling woman, can't imagine La Lande without Isabelle
