It's nice that you and Gerry tackled the clear out together. He understands the things that make you sad and knows just what to do to lighten the mood while still respecting your memories. The ideal elder brother.
except he isn’t 🙃
@@GillDunn-ch6qg you mean he's not her bio brother. But that's by the by as he has had the role of brother of her heart for most of her life. If thats how they see thier relationship no one else has a say in it. And we WILL respect that.
Yes, indeed! So, I'd like to remind Gerry to start the parting song from 'Sound of Music' with 'So long' then he'll get it right... 😉☺😘
..."So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye! Adieu, adieu, to you, and you, and you!" 🎶 @@tinaclarke704
That is the first photo I've seen of your Father. I think we are all fascinated to hear his story because of the beautiful art he created. I would also like to here more of Jerald's story. Two very important people to you.
Yes and Yes please.
Is Jerald Stephanie's half-brother?
Isabelle said : Gerry adopted us before Stephanie was born. When he was a teenager he became close to Stephanie’s parents because they were kind and welcoming to him.
@mireille4751 ah OK, I know she calls him her brother but wasn't sure.
MICHAEL IS GOING TO WANT THE DRIVING GOGGLES.
Marie is the magician in the kitchen. She is so well organized and makes everything seem easy, even though we all know it isn't. Confidence is written on her face!
Yes, I think Marie has found her forte along with her beautiful flower arrangements.
It’s amazing that someone can be so good at two completely different things! Food and flowers! Marie is a treasure!
@@ankiking Not surprising, her attention to detail and her temperament align perfectly to being a great chef!
I am with Marie I want order and silence when I prepare food.
Isn't it wonderful that Stephanie has given her this chance to work at this wonderful Chateau ❤
Gerald is a lot of fun watching, so happy.
I love a good rummage around,clearing out finding treasure.I end up on the bed looking at photos with some random hat and a scarf around my neck.lolI love Jerry he's such a bright light of a man.
Gerry was hilarious during your attic sorting. That mask was too much. 😂
Only a true brother and sister do share such love. God bless you both. ❤
Love when Gerald’s around ❤
I love how fun Gerald is with you. 😅
Love how she’s always trying to sort thru cluttered/un-used rooms. So relatable. 😂
Right 😂❤
I know. I can barely keep up with three. Such torture. 😢😅
You should tape your dad's paint test sheets on the back of the actual paintings.
But only if you use acid free tape!
Jerry cracks me up. Dancing and joking.
And then in a huff, Lancelot took his ball & went home😂!!! ❤
It looks like you have found your "Room of Requirement". Sorting through old family stuff can be emotionally draining. Good luck. Marie is working her own wonders in the kitchen. 😀
😂😂😂😂😂 Gerry absolutely cracks me up
Mummy looks like Princess Diana 👸 ❤
Yes- I thought the same thing!
8:39 / 17:48 Yes.... I agree. Should be framed.
The French version.
Yes! Can we bring back tye hairstyle? I love it.
I thought that too😀
Soccer footwork turned clogging- only at LaLande! That was fabulous, Gerry
Parting with family treasures is very difficult and you can only do it when you are ready. Little by little you will get it all sorted. Marie has her hands full with patron day preparations, may the force be with her. Thanks Stephanie and Philip. 🇨🇦🙏❤️
Stephanie you are Blessed to have such a supportive and Loving Family all around you!!
EACH time...I just can't fathom how we will manage whennl Gerry leaves again...he is like sunshine in a monsoon. Wow I had a phone similar even in 1990's!!! you are all a blast of energy ❤
Gérald is so funny with his good sense of humour ! I particularly like the alien mask 😂❤
Gerry is such a sweetheart ❤️🔥
He's such a lovely older brother
Stephanie I so appreciate you sharing some of the family photos and items with fond memory attachment. I was super close to my Dad as well, so I shared a few tears along with you. *hugs*
Loved it, love a good old clearing. I’m poor at clearing as I get distracted too and get lost. Gerald is gold, love him, everything is funnier with sweet Gerry. Love your dress Stephanie. Hugs and hugs to Hanni. ❤
Wow. Mummy. Stunning!!! Thank you Gerry for bringing joy and so much spirit. Love seeing Hanni. And Marie the prep for Patron days, you got this! Can't wait to see your sous-chefs.
Thank you so much Stephanie for sharing your days with us.
Oh my goodness, you found the lost costume stash!😮
That was so lovely… In that thumbnail picture, Isabelle looked so much like late Lady Diane, I think… 😍
It’s a joy to see the bond you have with Gerald, as a brother. My brother and I have always been very close too, but then I lost him when his partner didn’t want to share our parent’s inheritance with me, long story short.
Marie, you’re a professional, but even beyond that. A professional cook with an artist’s influence, you go girl! 💪💪
Thank you so much for all the joy! 🫶💞🫶
I loved your and Gerry's attic treasures. Very heart wrenching memories of your dad❤
Happy times before the Patreon Days! I love it. Everyone is in high spirits. It's contagious. ❤
I wish we could see some high resolution copies of these photographs (and more). They are delightful! ✨
Hanni is so adorable!!
Funny how there's always one more room to clear!🤣🤣🤣
How fun digging thru the attic treasures with Gerald 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍💕
At this rate Steph you will be keeping everything 😀😀😀😂
“Can I have some toilet tissue please? And can you hurry up?” 😂
When you do take time to look at the photos, would you share some more with us? I LOVED seeing the old photos and hearing the story behind them! More please!
Loved this video of you and Gerald going sorting through bags in the attic. He’s hilarious. What a brilliant childhood you have a castle load of memories ❤
I am living in a 300 year old house and we have a never ending clearing out! But we always say it’s like remission of sins every time we go to the recycling area!
Good luck with your clearing out and thanks for the inspiration ❤
Your Father looked a very Charming man thank u for showing us so many memories . 🥰.
What a treat, such a glorious group of la landers!! 🥰😘💖
Wow looking at dads things especially his brushes was breathtaking and emotional even from the outside ❤ hugs to you
One of the best parts of my day. 🦋
Stephanie your dress is very pretty. 🦋
Too much fun to be had. Choosing Gerald was spot on.
Attic finds still in good condition could be gifts to Patreons on the Day.
You are so lucky, Stephanie. The family and friends surrounding you and supporting all your endeavors! This is what makes La Lande a success !
Love watching you guys… Seriously… Gerald is magical. What a burst of light and joy! And he’s in such good shape, God bless him!
So hard to go through family treasures and photos, so easy to get distracted. Really glad you had Gerald there to help you get through things and to lighten the mood. He knows you and has shared memories. You all are such a whirlwind when you decide to get something done...teamwork makes the dream work. Love you all, look forward to your videos 🤩🙌😍
always a joy to watch Gerry
The birdsong is the best 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Yes it is..nature wins hands down.
I would love to see more of your photo albums!! I love old family photos!!
Lancelot looking at Gerry like, "What the heck is this guy doing?" 😄 Definitely keep the hat & the googles. I always say, keep all costume possibilities. Oh, no, don't get rid of the negligees! A shame about the green belt, it matched your lemon outfit perfectly. Lovely old photos. Love the bird song.
So nice to see you all. You were the best part of my day!!!!! Love to all❤❤❤❤
Really need to have someone scan all those old pictures into a computer before they turn to yellow and faded!
Looking forward to the Patreon Days! We are in the area already. Good luck with all the preparations. I saw on Marie's insta that she has the serving plates figured out already too. Fun times ahead!
I was hopeful that you and Philip and Lancelot would do a tour of Chateau De Montmagner. I would LOVE to see what history you learn about the place for your other channel. I know you’re all very busy, but would love to see it from all 3 of your perspective. Please think about it.
Loved the family photos of you and your Dad. Must show us more.
Loved this video!!! Memories and stories in the attic.. So enjoyable, so funny too! Gerald is such a card :) (ie funny)
It was fun to see Stephanie’s childhood pre-chatelaine photos….And thank you for showing the photo of your father in his younger days as well. After hearing much about him from you, it was nice to create a visual connection with him as someone who was such an important and loved figure in your life. Also have to mention that it’s always a pleasure to see Hanni back as one of Lalande’s charismatic cast of characters.
Stephanie and Gerald……great job on clearing out some clutter. It makes you feel sooo good! I’m doing the same in my house. I made a list and little by little I’m going through stuff. Now Stephanie…….regarding your fathers art supplies, do NOT get rid of them. Put all of his art supplies in a plastic bin…labeled….and at some point in time you or even Phillip may take up painting. That is the kind of stuff to keep. 🐶💙🍷🙏
Stephanie you should attach your Daddy's paint swatches behind the relevant paintings. Such a lovely memory :)
The scream I let out when I saw Gerry with the mask on!! THANK YOU for the laugh, I truly needed it :D
I couldn’t help but think that phone would be great in a “escape room challenge” but chateau style.
Jerry Indiana jones had me going! Lol!!
Just another beautiful day at LaLande🌻🇯🇲🥂
I love seeing your Father's paintbrush roll!
Gerald is such a colourful character full of beans. Love his accent.
I have one of those french phones!
It would be lovely if the priests room could be transformed ❤
Love Mummy’s Princess Di haircut in that picture! You are darling!
Gerald is funny stef ,what a wonderful way to start the day sending lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Hello Stephanie, I love watching your dreams come to life. And you're laughter is contagious 😅💖
Another secreted room! And such memories. My brain wants to clear the cupboards and only put your families memories in there. And the Chateaus records. The plans, drawings, paperwork of before and after the many resorations and repairs. An archive if you will.
Mummy was, and still is, a stunning woman.......Sandi x🥰
Good to have Gerry as you filter the memory boxes 😊
I love to see Gerry, he is always fun. x
You and Gerald look like you’re teenagers in your mom’s and dad’s attic! I could just see you two together, rummaging through treasures and pretending you’re off on a real adventure!!
I love that Ausi cowboy hat!
The attic room would be a lovely secret snug
Mummy looking like Lady Diana.
She really does!!
I was thinking the same thing!
I had to double take because I thought that she was Princess Diana as well!
I thought so too!
That's who I thought it was lol
Gerry is so funny! Well done a good variety!
Very emotionall going through all the old things. Well done🤗
You make the vlogs, that I always look forward to see. Sometimes I save it for a while to get the full impact. I love your vlogs
Gerry is on top form today!
Love the forest walk. Great job clearing the attic gerry and stephanie
Fun! I went to a chateau once who had a massive basket with funky hats etc. In it and after dinner with drinks they’d say “ have at it the basket holds your fun self” we all dove in and laughed all night wearing fun attire: put them back and now I add to it when I visit fun fun fun!! 👍❤️
You and Gerry are the perfect two to tackle all that sentimentality…❤
We're not going to look at any photos - proceeds to look at photos 🤣
Would be fun if you had a "time Warp room" or "Chateau Originals" room that had the old TV, the Old phone, and a very 1970s feel. Would actually be quite a nostalgic hit with many guests.
Gerald and Lancelot!,, ❤❤🥰
Ooo can't wait x
When I was working on a collection for Louis Vuitton they made us all take turns to have a massage and I still remember how great it was.
So happy to see Hanni again after so long 😊
The new china pantry? I never really understood what happened to the old china pantry. Is it going to be the same room? Is it going to have the same hexagonal fixture in the middle of the room? Didn't it come from the Ritz in Paris? Was that a hint about the episode for British Television? Stephanie, why do you do this to me?
Clearing out the attic room must have been bittersweet. I suspect that you kept some emotional moments between the two of you. How special to have had each other for the task.❤
Marie, you have this, just breathe. It's going to be perfectly lovely.
This will be a Patron Day for the ages. On my wish list of special returns would be Tomas and Jared. Both were so delightful in their own special ways. But there have been so many wonderful individuals at Lalande, it would not be fair to limit the list to two.
They never put the China room into the old dairy room. That room became the Gardeners tea room. ❤ They put one and now a second piece of furniture into the small salon next to the kitchen to start the China room. ❤ The hexagon piece of furniture hasn't made it into the room yet. ❤
@@carolinegooder7091 For some reason, I thought the current accommodations were temporary. I'd love to have an updated tour of the Château, so much has changed. I didn't realize the little attic room existed until today. It would make a nice little room for someone.
@@carolinegooder7091 How do you know so much about LaLande? Are you one of the volunteers? I've noticed you seem to always have more information than we see on the vlog, which I appreciate.
Yes. I love Tomas. Come back! 💖✨
@@calvarychapelnorthjersey7040 it’s either Stephanie or Philip.
SO glad Percy is well enough to travel again! ❤❤
The attic was really touching. And I loved the bird song in the forest.
Hello from California. The recent visit to Hampton Gardens was pure eye candy.
What if you make an envelope of the paint colors your father chose for specific paintings, any notes, etc. and attach it to the back so it will always be with it.
Love antique phone. That is a keeper. Nice to have the Chateau for you and the others with out guest
Fun episode! Loved the photos!!!
You could attach your fathers colour selections, notes, etc to the back of the relevant paintings.
