      I think Marie does not feel ready yet for any responsibility other than living at Laland, 'Food is a true way to a mans heart, as it is through the stomach" But she knows much more comes with it, and she would rather stick with Lalande and as a family,she has enough responsbility but enjoyng this alone. A male person could cause her complications. She does not want that at all. Or other things could come up as well causing more problems. She is having "fun" even when it gets quite tiring, and confusing maybe, but 'Stephanie is allowing her to do a bit of what she wants'. She is like a member of the family! The kitchen now is her haven! Her domain, and she feels more and more comfortable with it, She is accepted by all who come to visit, and with family, and that is important to her, and they all love her dearly. Can only imagine how proud her biological mom and siblings now feel about her being a Chef?! Must be proud of how far she has come, and all she is doing!
      But when you do not want love to strike, that is usually when out of the blue ,it happens! We will see? It may not ever happen, we must wait and see! For now : 'All is good" We do not want to lose her from Laland again! But all at once her eyes and his 'may meet', and then they are on a trip to heaven knows where!? Hopefully she is able to always be at Laland if happy.I think it will happen for her.
      Hope Philip sees her sort of as a daughter too, if he can. Think he does? Stephanie is seeing this, and really cares about Marie and her well being! She has always liked her and saw something special in her, with such talent,

      While I like your synopsis ...should we probe too deeply into people's motivations, aspirations, and goals yet unrealized? Especially when their lives are almost over-exposed & on video every day. The word "alchemy" comes to mind ...and also "privacy". Alchemy, in that many things in a person's life need a veil of privacy and even secrecy to develop ...Just like a seed needs the darkness of the earth that covers it in nature's secret void of alchemy that gives nutrients and hallowed time for growth, so that the seed begins to stretch for the surface and break forth into the sunshine. Our most private goals and aspirations need the alchemy of secrecy, privacy, and room to blossom forth into reality ...before revealed to all. It's a conundrum but true ....we don't dig up the seed each day just to see if it is developing ...we water it, fertilize it, and perhaps even sing to it ...and then let nature take its course. @@carolweaver3269

      ...I wonder how far Lourdes is from La Lande ...I'd love to see Notre Dame & Niemes and ALL the ancient Cathedrals of France ...wouldn't it be lovely if Stephanie and Phillip did a 'Grand Tour' of the cathedrals of France!! ??
      I would sooooo LOVE to be on that tour!!!

    • @lindascott2008
      @lindascott2008 3 месяца назад +3

      Yes, it is great to see Marie so happy AND confident! I can remember a time in her vlogs on her channel when she was incredibly depressed for a long period. Her situation seemed so oppressive and hopeless at the time, you could see that she felt like it would never change no matter where she was. She is gradually increasing her self esteem, nice.

    I'm amazed at the steadiness of Benoit's hand! Surely, moving quickly is a part of that, but if I tried to do that I shudder to think of how my lines would look. I love how Lancelot tilted his head a bit while Philip was playing "Mama Mia" - like the RCA dog in the old "His Master's Voice" picture!

  • @barbarasmith2693

    I happen to know for a fact that Marie has an extremely devoted and adoring very special someone in her life. His name is Lancelot. And he would much rather you nosy lot stop trying to set his Marie up with anyone else, thank you very much. There is a bit of a height difference, but no matter. The heart knows no impediments such as this. 🥰😘

    Lancelot loves Marie, he is all she needs for cuddles, bless him, as he has so much love to give everyone. But you and Philip are his special people of course. What a wonderful team you have at La Lande, both inside the house, in the garden, and in the chapel. Blessings to you all, from Jilly & Madge, from West Devon, England. xxx

    It has frequently been mentioned that guests do not use the kitchen, so just wondering who the people are in the kitchen?
    As a guest, I would much prefer the portions served to yourselves, otherwise it might be an idea to use smaller dinner plates so the meals look bigger! 🙈
