Hello Stephanie it all looks so wonderful and so glad your amazing mother has recovered from covid xx the Cream of Manna is from the sap of the Ash tree specifically from Madonie in Sicily lol xx so happy that Amoury and Nate are together I suspected but I'm so pleased they are as I am thrilled you and Philip are a couple xx Merry Christmas my lovelies xx ❤
Two of the loveliest women in the world found two of the loveliest men in the world, what joy! Mummy, how beautiful you look! Love to you and Percy. Complete joy!
I just realized now why Amaury brought in the whole workshop - we all thought he wanted to be fully prepared for the paneling project, but really it is a full on relocation for love! What a score for Stephanie and LeLande. Family and amazing carpentry talent.
I’m truly happy Amaury and Nattie are getting together and very visibly extremely happy about it! I believe they’re perfectly matched: both lived a bit, have learned about life, intelligent and reliable (she practically runs that chateau, and just look at that workshop and the task he’s been set). both have a great sense of humour, but most of all they seem to be a prime example of ‘beautiful inside and out’. Be happy Nattie and Amaury, and how wonderful if it’s to be forever🥰
Ok, tears flowed! Tears for Isabel's sickness, her sweet song of her heritage, tears that Percy would not leave her side, then tears of happiness for Nati and Amaury. ♥️ So thankful for Mummy's recovery, so thankful Percy stayed well, and thankful you (Stephanie) have at LaLande a chateau full of love with wonderful friends and family and ♥️Philip ♥️.
@@percyattfield3393 oh yes! Your annual gifting of the food buckets is such a beautiful thing. We all need to give what we can to who we can in this world. Please, Both of you please stay well. ♥️
About a year and a half ago, I asked Mummy in the chat during a première if she could speak Occitan. She was kind enough to respond. I am a linguist and I love learning about all languages. I am SO VERY happy that Mummy is well now! Je suis très hereux! Also, congratulations Natalia and Amaury!!! ¡Felicidades a Natalia y a Amaury!
The L'Angue D'Oc is fascinating, as is the history of the area. The Albegensian Heresy, the Inquisition and slaughter of the Cathars. When drinking wine from the region I cannot help but think of the blood that soaked the ground there. I noticed "Go Blue!" I worked at UofM years ago and went to MSU for my undergrad. Go State!
Congrats to Nat and Amaury!! To be honest, I was hoping for this ever since I spotted them canoodling at Versailles when you all were dressed up together! 🤗🤗
@@percyattfield3393 Thank you for taking such great care of Isabelle and yourself. It is wonderful you do the food buckets together and that ours are following suit. Merry Christmas. 😁❤🌺🌹🍭🥂
JOLLY MOLLY THIS WAS A ROLLERCOASTER! Scared AF for Isabel and Percy, Joyfully for Naty and Amory of course Stef and Philippe. And amazed with all the prep. So happy everything is good and so many ppl got food on this times in South Africa so emotional video.
@@Scrapart_by_Zelinda well fortunately it's actually none of our business. Love is never a bad thing, there are millions of examples of couples where there is difference that have been disapproved of over the years for a variety of reasons, that have thrived. It is not our right to approve or not. However I would hope that we would all wish them well since it's clearly agreeing with them and they are all that matters.
Who needs to watch "The Holiday" when you can see real life romance unfold at a Chateau in France. It's lovely to escape there with you watching these vlogs (while my husband snores on the sofa next to me 😆). Merry Christmas and thankyou for another fabulous advent 💗
I had a feeling that they were an item .. just because they were never far away from each other and something was making amaurys visit more permanent .. im so pleased for you both ..it is a place truly filled with life love and laughter x
Thank goodness Isabelle has recovered and thank to Percy for looking after her, what a true gentleman he is. The love in the Chateau is growing, so very happy for Amaury and Natti, Natti is such a beautiful person and deserves to have Amaury. X
thanks for letting us know about your mother. I am so very thankful that she is doing better, and that Percy is by her side and taking good care of his precious wife. I am also happy about Amaury and Nattie. They make a perfect couple like you and Phillip. Much love and happiness for all of the Chateau for the New Year too.
Those ladies adventure at the thrift store had me laughing hysterically and then to see the creepy clown painting and the story that was told was the best. They are a hoot! Glad to hear that your mum and Percy are well.
So wonderful! Natty and Amaury are a pair of lovely people! I was thinking earlier that they would be a lovely couple so really happy to hear their news!! Congratulations to you all 😀 Chateau de Amour 🥂😄❤💕 happy Christmas to you all
So happy to hear your Mum is better and that Percy is well too. She looked beautiful. So happy for Nattie and Amaury ❤️ and of course you and Philip ❤️
I didn’t think I’d be watching YT on Christmas Day but when I saw this I had to watch straight away 😂! You make me cry (Isabelle and Percy), you make me shout with joy (Amaury and Nati), you make me happy for the joy of beautiful friendships 💗💗. Merry Christmas to the family at LaLande and those who couldn’t be there (Gerry). And Merry Christmas to all who enjoy this vlog as much as I do 💗👏🎅🏽🎄!!!!
Stephanie, you and your mother are amazing women- determined, kind, caring and giving and so much more. Despite Mommy being sick, she and Percy pushed on and helped those in need. No doubt, that contributed to her determination to get well. And you, despite your great worry, still provided your viewers with your most cheerful self and uplifted those of us watching. Truly you and your mother are amazing women. Thank you both for being who you are. Best wishes to you both and to all those who love and support you. D. in Taiwan
So happy your mom is recovered. Was good to see her. Hope her and Percy can make a trip back to the chateau in 2022. Thanks for sharing your Christmas Day 🍾
Beautiful video! So relieved that Isabelle is recovered. God bless you Percy for staying with her, Thats true love. Exciting that Aumary and Natalia are together, I believe many of us were hoping for that. You all look beautiful and so does the dinner and the table is outstandingly beautiful this year! Love to all ❤. The luminaries are beautiful around the fountain, Great job Michael Potts. I adore your Aunt and Uncle. Your mother singing was beautiful and the heritage very interesting, I teared up myself.
The POWER of RUclips.... The chateau was a bonus, but I think that RUclips has made Stephanie the center of her world in her life, and we are all just enjoying the ride. I can remember her stories about being there alone during the winter and wondering what her life was about........ well.... Exhibit A....... I can't imagine what it would be like to go to sleep and wake up every day knowing that a world of spectators are waiting for their day to be enlightened by 1 person and what she does to entertain and support our spirits during these hard and difficult times. Please live your life and allow us to enjoy all you wish to share. I look forward to seeing more projects in the future.
So true! Stephanie has a special flair or light that appeals so well on camera. But that is just a teeny bit of why she’s what she is. Her skill, charismatic, humbleness comes across so genuine, we cannot help to fall in love with her. Her ability to just have such gusto and passion for her chateau and the true love for her home, a chateau that isn’t the most beautiful, but she saw it and knew she had to bring this chateau all prettied up. So many projects but look forward to each project.
I am so thankful for you that your Mom is O.K. My Mom is her age (although much more fragile due to a botched hip surgery) that we still live a fairly cloistered life to try and shield her from the virus as much as possible. P.S. My father who is only slightly younger that your mother remembers his parents and grandparents "speaking" in the local Burgundian patois. He can still remember many of those words.
Merry Christmas to you all it was lovely to see you all around your Christmas table I am pleased that Isabel is now well and a big congratulations to Nattie and Amonry
Aw, wow. Occitan! Some of mother's family, that lived in Quebec, spoke Occitan. I had totally forgotten that story. Your mother and Percy's love story just warms my heart. I'm over 50 and alone in a country I wasn't born it or really wanted to live in.
Isobel looks beautiful and her song was lovely. Everything on this vlog is perfect. The table, food, and most of all you, your friends, and family. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all of you at the château. Congratulations to Nati and Amaury ! So happy for Mummy's recovery and well being. Congratulations to you Stephanie to have done so well during this difficult month, I am sure you were well supported by Phillip during this time. Best wishes to all of you.
Such a joy to watch your Christmas unfold. And all the preparations and how beautiful it has turned out. Love the news of the joining of two of the most beautiful and lovely people In LaLande. I saw hints of it too. Glad to hear it. And as well as finally the acknowledgment of you and Phillip this year too. Love is in the air.
Dear Steph, you look absolutely beautiful! Now I know where you got you lovely singing voice from. So glad you Mom is completely recovered. Happy to hear of the latest love birds at LeLande. Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas! So happy for Natti and Amaury and for your mother's recovery and for the growth of the bucket brigade. You have now a very happy family home.
Stephanie....I can't imagine how you kept going when your dear mother was ill. My heart is filled with gratitude this Christmas Eve (still here in the States) that your mother has recovered. She is a jewel on our earth and we are all fortunate to have shared this little blip in time and space with her. Thank YOU for making that possible.
Sorry, I'm revisiting this again. but I needed some fun and you and your family and friends are always there. I think your blog is the greatest, so much fun and laughter with you and your family. I love your dining room. Your table settings and table clothes and flowers are so different and festive WoW, what a happy table to sit down to at Christmas. I love your blog
LaLande is a fountain. The power in what's happening there is magical. Careful. Don't go so fast trying to please viewers that you stop looking for and creating authentic joy. The authenticity is most endearing. This channel has influenced my style interests. I've been entertained, inspired, and educated by all of you. So grateful to see good people thriving somewhere.
Oh Stephanie, so sorry to hear your beautiful mummy caught covid. What a worrying time for you, yet you still managed to keep your vlogs upbeat for everyone. Hopefully she and Percy will be back at the chateau soon. It's so lovely to see your Aunt and Uncle in the vlogs. And LaLande has worked her magic and another romance has blossomed, how lovely. Merry Christmas to you all 💞☃️x
Here in canada we do the same initiative in the holidays the food bank always run out and we have in Québec guinolée and you just add 1-2 items in your weekly food purchase and build a box and give them to the food bank, ut doesn’t affect your own money and help so many people. So happy the store took isabelle and percy initiative
Merry Christmas to all you gorgeous people. Congrats to Stephanie and Philip, nati and amaury. So pleased for you. Wishing you all the best. Hugs and love Lisa xx ❤️😘.
Merry Christmas to all you fabulous Lalanders! Huge congratulations to Nati and Amaury! 😍🥰I could see just after he first arrived a chemistry between them. LaLande casts a beautiful spell on all those open to its magic! So relieved to hear about Mommy and that Percy is ok too. Mommy is so strong and positive 💕And congratulations on you and Philip, Stefanie! Perfect ‘pairing’ throughout this year😁😍Waohhhhh! What a year!! Much love 💕 🥰🎄⛄️🎉💖🌸
So happy that Isabelle is fully recovered …. What a worry. Percy is an Angel! 🙏 it must’ve been such a stressful time, and you just professionally carried on… like the true trouper that you are! You are a gift, dear Stephanie, and I wish you and Philip everything fabulous for 2022. Thrilled for Amaury and Nati! Thank you for uplifting and inspiring us! Love to all at Lalande! X ❤️
PS…. I am going to have serious withdrawal symptoms not being able to watch you on a daily basis. 🤣 It has been such a treat! Enjoy a wee bit of a rest. Enjoy your family and beautiful loved ones! ❤️
Merry Christmas to you all! Congratulations to Amaury and Nattie - I've known about it for some time now! ;-) The signs were there to be seen if you look. I think you should hide the passports of Amaury's parents, though, and keep them at the Chateau as the treasures they are!
They sure are. Oh my gosh! I love them so much, they are full of life, gusto and so much enthusiasm to help anywhere, how that they can do. Plus they are so cute.
@Stephanie I know, thought the same thing of Nati and Amaury very soon after he arrived and told my sister (who watches CD with me). Eyes and body language can be very telling. Very sweet to know it's true. Best to them both.. ⚘
Sending your mummy lots of love and healing energy for a strong and complete recovery ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ P.S. Last evening after Nati & Amaury’s special moment I’ll bet there was a collective worldwide gasp and joyful scream ! We all needed that . ❤️❤️Sheri
Thank God mummy is alright and Percy (The Braveheart) is as well. That must have been so scary for all of you to go through. I love that their idea of the buckets is spreading and they should be so proud of that. I also am very happy to hear that love is a contagion that is spreading within La Lande. Hopefully we can have a pandemic of love. Congratulations to all of the lovers from the past to the present who have resided within the walls of your beautiful chateau. Merry Christmas to you all!
Wow! Some of the scenes that was filmed of Isabel distributing the buckets are mere kilometers away from my house here in South Africa! How small the world really is!
2.32am here in Ireland and couldn’t believe it when I saw your vlog coming up. I’m in tears here watching Isabel and her beautiful message to youStephanie. I’m so delighted for Natty and Amaury and can’t believe we won’t be having our daily dose of Advent vlogs which have been magnificent . Congratulations to all at La Lande for all the work they have put in. Xx Sheila 🇨🇮
"Your heart is full of fertile seeds waiting to sprout.'" This quote by Morihei Ueshiba perfectly describes the magical garden that is Lalande where visitors, volunteers, and residents, both new and old can bloom into their best selves and discover love.
Stephanie, thank you for bringing such joy to my life. I've had such a trying holidays filled with cancelled and ruined plans and my mother recovering from chemo treatments for lung cancer. Being able to escape everyday to Lalande and be with such warm and wonderful people has been a lifesaver ❤️
Tears sprang to my eyes when you started talking about your Mother Stephanie and so relieved that she has recovered 🙏 Working on the Advent vlogs ,though hard, must have been a vital distraction for you . Sending my love to Nati and Amaury ,I think most of us could see what was in plain sight, a lovely couple indeed. Your vlogs ,Stephanie, just keep on getting better and better, I'm so glad I became a patron, you are the best and others try to follow (love Dan too ) You deserve your success. Now have a rest in January you certainly deserve it ❤❤❤
@@theselva Guess ya gotta have money to be recognized 🙄 If it weren’t for us Peons liking, watching & commenting in the 1st place she wouldn’t be where she is now ! Money talks, I guess ... which is what makes her sooo happy all the time 🙄
@@theselva I have had likes before and can't afford to be a patron, so that is not true. I checked and you got a ❤ from CD before.. LOL. I think you need a Christmas Hug and Prayer. Sending one your way.😁❤🌺🌹
@@kathyhuff8935 @niya nicola I've gotten likes and responses from Stephanie and I'm not a patron. Maybe it's kindness that's the key. What you put out into the world comes back to you in kind, pun intended 😉 Try it ... it really works, and I hope you can reap the rewards too.
Love is in the air at Lalande! So happy for both couples 😍 And also very glad to hear that Isabelle is doing fine now 🙏🏻 Thank you Stephanie and everyone who contributed to making all of this content for us during December, providing a bit of magic in these difficult times ✨ Forever grateful to have found this beautiful community 💕
I am as everyone so relieved that Isabel and Percy are well. I too wish Judy, and Isabel and Percy and Gerald were there. Please stay safe and well and return when you can. Merry Christmas.
I want that teapot with the stand, so cute. Fun Christmas. The table set for Christmas dinner was beautiful. Isabel looks wonderful, the area is suiting her.
Isobel, your voice is more beautiful while you are sick than mine is in full health! Beautiful inside and out, I have no doubt that Mummy's buckets are the best! How wonderful that the helping tradition they created is being picked up by more people!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas! Just got home from my daughter’s to find this; couldn’t be a more perfect ending to my day! Blessings of the Season to all from Frederick Maryland USA!
My favourite favourite video of the year……truly life, love and laughter. I’m not going to thank you again as that seems so inadequate, I am going to say …these videos are part of the air that I breathe.
Mummy looks so beautiful. She is so missed. Love, love, love you all. Thank you for such a nice year full of vlogs-they are much appreciated and we do realize how hard you work to make them for us ❤️
Thank you for making the Christmas season more joyful for us all. So many of us feel that we were there with you and part of the LaLand family. These are sad times in many ways and you remind us that love and laughter remain the best parts of the human experience. Thank you, Stephanie and all the LaLanders. 🎄
Oh my I could see why you were worried about your mom! I’m so glad both she and Percy are healthy! Thank you for recording the Christmas celebration. Cheers to family at La Londe !,,
I am so pleased to hear that Mummy is over the worst of Covid. Hopefully, being in SA she had the Omicron varient which by all accounts is no worse than a very very bad cold. But non the less still a very worrying time. So pleased for Natie and Amaury and yourself and Philip. La Lande is certainly a place full of love, life and laughter. ❤️ Xx
@@isabellejarvis7805 that is good to hear. Happy Christmas to you and Percy and a happy and healthy 2022. We look forward to seeing you back at the Chateau at some point ❤️ x
I miss seeing Isabelle!!! Loved her beautiful song and I’m so glad she has recovered!! Congratulations to Nati and Amaury. Glad that’s out in the open now so we can all move forward. 😄Looking forward to all the lovely vlogs of 2022. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄🎄Happy New Year 🎉 🎉🎉
6:42 am and I’m crying buckets here in Somerset. What a vlog Stephanie and thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your celebrations. Thank The Good Lord that Mummy and Percy are ok and that Mummy has fully recovered. You must have been beside yourself with worry. As for love at LeLande, it’s in abundance and from the outset the spark between Amaury and Natti was there for all to see. Congratulations….as you know Stephanie and Phillip, it’s not easy being in ‘the public eye’ but I hope you all continue to be treated kindly. So here’s to you all, every good wish possible and may dreams continue to be made at your beautiful home.
Thank goodness Isabelle is ok. So much for doctor visits! Percy is certainly devoted. Aren't they lucky to have each other. Hooray for love, at the chateau, or wherever, it's amazing! Blessings to everyone!
I had a booked doctors appointment but developed a slight cough so the day before I went to have a test to show the doctor the next day that I was negative so she would see me, but I was positive so had to cancel!!!!! Big surprise. I was then treated by the GP and didn’t get any other symptoms. I count my blessings.
I am crying tears of joy feeling the love from everyone at Lalande and Isabelle & Percy. It has been such a joy this month to see the Advent Diaries. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and appreciation to everyone💚
Thank God your mum is ok. I so love your dear mum. And Percy is such a wonderful and loving man for her. God watches over us. God bless her and you Stephane and all of you there at the Chateau who bring a smile to our faces and give cheer to our day. :) Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄
Oh I’m so happy for Nati & Amauri!! It’s becoming a larger and as always -a loving family!! Congratulations to all , my best wishes and prayers for all La Landers for a prosperous and blessed Christmas holiday!
Heart felt gratitude to you, Stephanie, and all the LaLanders who worked so hard to bring us the wonderful Advent and Christmas preparations and festivities There was not a dry eye in the house after Isabelle’s song. So grateful that she snd Percy got through OK. Wishing you all every good thing, especially good health, for all the years of your lives. I know you will be blessed for all the joy you bring into the world.
Tears. Thankful for Isabelle and Percy’s good health and for her beautiful song about the Hope of our world. Thankful for friends and family and Love at La Lande. Such a bright spark of Grace in a dark world. Merry Christmas to all of you. (Thank you for filming on Christmas Day so that we could all be a part!)🌟💫❤️🎄✨🙏🎁🌟
I saw Nati and Amaury holding hands last night how lovely no surprise to me haha.. Then I hear its been 4 months so good lovely for all 4 of you we have been married 50 years together 54 years hope the same for all of you life is wonderful .
First , so very happy to hear that your Mummy is doing better! Happy for Amaury and Nati, what a beautiful couple and of course Philip and Steph! What a lovely family and friends. Merry Christmas to each of you, stay healthy and well. xxx
Seeing your Mummy reminded me of my little French Mother Mé Mére to many, gone but so missed. Isabel is darling and I wept thinking how you carried on when she was so far away. Happy knowing she is well. Nati and Amoury always seemed so right together. Lot of Electricity was always in the air! Happiness at LaLande, family and friends. Happy she's Year!
I knew it! Those 2 were holding hands last episode. And I was like, I see what’s going on 😂. I’m just happy to see everyone experiencing happiness. It’s not easy during these times to date. I started dating my guy this fall. After a few interesting guys, this one gives me peace.
Glad Isobel is well 🤗💐 Congratulations to Amaury & Nattie Best wishes to all at the Chateau may all your hopes & dreams come true.🤗Thank you all for your input throughout the year.🤗 Love Sue ❤ 🤗🇬🇧
Stephanie...you are amazing...seems you come from a long line of amazing women! So happy for the couples at Lalande! So very happy to hear your mom is well! Bless Percy, I'm so glad they have each other! Warmest wishes to all for a Peaceful, Healthy & Happy New Year! Thank you so much for sharing...take really good care of yourselves, stay well! Much love Kathy x 💖💖Ontario, Canada
Wow Isabelle! That was quite a scare and your hymn made me cry! Delighted that the two primary relationships at La Lande are no longer secret so I wish all love to Steph and Philip and to Nati and Ameury. We are now approaching our 29th year and even more in love than we were at the beginning. Enjoy yourselves and each other ❣️. Now Stephanie (please apply a tone of admonition here). Will you please now rest!!!!! Silence for at least a week!!!! Loads of love 💛💛💛
Divine, divine, divine! Romance, love, life and laughter at LaLande this year. Is there something in the water or maybe the wine? Such wonderful news all round. Congratulations to you all. Thank you for another year of happy, informative and funny videos. Happy Christmas to all at LaLande. 💕
Stephanie, that you did all of this while worried about your mother makes it even more special. Thank you!
Couldn’t have said that any better! Blessing for health, love and happiness to all in 2022!

Same here ☺☺
Omg same here! 😅
Yes, I noticed too and was really hoping!! It’s wonderful news!!
Aww, she isn't even my mother, and I cried! She looks great for recovering from Covid! Their bucket idea is wonderful! Merry Christmas!

Zoe Stevens That is the name of the movie I was trying to think of because Marie's village reminds me so much of "The Holiday" Thank you
Every part of that is true for me too Zoe, including the husband on the sofa!🤣🤣

Much love to Mummy. So glad you are recovering x
Beautiful video! So relieved that Isabelle is recovered. God bless you Percy for staying with her, Thats true love. Exciting that Aumary and Natalia are together, I believe many of us were hoping for that. You all look beautiful and so does the dinner and the table is outstandingly beautiful this year! Love to all ❤. The luminaries are beautiful around the fountain, Great job Michael Potts. I adore your Aunt and Uncle. Your mother singing was beautiful and the heritage very interesting, I teared up myself.
The POWER of RUclips.... The chateau was a bonus, but I think that RUclips has made Stephanie the center of her world in her life, and we are all just enjoying the ride. I can remember her stories about being there alone during the winter and wondering what her life was about........ well.... Exhibit A....... I can't imagine what it would be like to go to sleep and wake up every day knowing that a world of spectators are waiting for their day to be enlightened by 1 person and what she does to entertain and support our spirits during these hard and difficult times. Please live your life and allow us to enjoy all you wish to share. I look forward to seeing more projects in the future.
So true! Stephanie has a special flair or light that appeals so well on camera. But that is just a teeny bit of why she’s what she is. Her skill, charismatic, humbleness comes across so genuine, we cannot help to fall in love with her. Her ability to just have such gusto and passion for her chateau and the true love for her home, a chateau that isn’t the most beautiful, but she saw it and knew she had to bring this chateau all prettied up. So many projects but look forward to each project.
❤️❤️❤️
I am so thankful for you that your Mom is O.K. My Mom is her age (although much more fragile due to a botched hip surgery) that we still live a fairly cloistered life to try and shield her from the virus as much as possible. P.S. My father who is only slightly younger that your mother remembers his parents and grandparents "speaking" in the local Burgundian patois. He can still remember many of those words.
2 nice people who deserve each other...
I’m so thankful that Isabelle is safe and healing, and so excited to see such love and happiness in every corner of your beautiful home❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸
Merry Christmas to you all it was lovely to see you all around your Christmas table I am pleased that Isabel is now well and a big congratulations to Nattie and Amonry
Aw, wow. Occitan! Some of mother's family, that lived in Quebec, spoke Occitan. I had totally forgotten that story. Your mother and Percy's love story just warms my heart. I'm over 50 and alone in a country I wasn't born it or really wanted to live in.
Thank you Isabelle for sharing this part of your occitan heritage, that was very touching! Hope you keep getting better! All my well wishes!
Knew it from the night of the ball when he was holding her in a clip🤗...great couple!
Isobel looks beautiful and her song was lovely. Everything on this vlog is perfect. The table, food, and most of all you, your friends, and family. Merry Christmas!
Isabel looked beautiful in that gray dress, so lovely to see her. Health & happiness to all.
Merry Christmas to all of you at the château. Congratulations to Nati and Amaury ! So happy for Mummy's recovery and well being. Congratulations to you Stephanie to have done so well during this difficult month, I am sure you were well supported by Phillip during this time. Best wishes to all of you.
Such a joy to watch your Christmas unfold. And all the preparations and how beautiful it has turned out. Love the news of the joining of two of the most beautiful and lovely people In LaLande. I saw hints of it too. Glad to hear it. And as well as finally the acknowledgment of you and Phillip this year too. Love is in the air.
The magic continues, thank you Stephanie and Philip. May 2022 be a year filled of love, adventure and tenderness. We love you both😘❤️🎉😘❤️🎉😘❤️🎉😘❤️🎉😘❤️🎉
Dear Steph, you look absolutely beautiful! Now I know where you got you lovely singing voice from. So glad you Mom is completely recovered. Happy to hear of the latest love birds at LeLande. Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas! So happy for Natti and Amaury and for your mother's recovery and for the growth of the bucket brigade. You have now a very happy family home.
Stephanie....I can't imagine how you kept going when your dear mother was ill. My heart is filled with gratitude this Christmas Eve (still here in the States) that your mother has recovered. She is a jewel on our earth and we are all fortunate to have shared this little blip in time and space with her. Thank YOU for making that possible.
The Jarvis women are tough; they keep going!
@@percyattfield3393 And we are so fortunate for their perseverance and the world is a better place because of it!
@@percyattfield3393 thank you for taking such good care of Isabelle.
I am so happy for Emory and Natalie! Thrilled and beaming! Merry Christmas everyone!
Sorry, I'm revisiting this again. but I needed some fun and you and your family and friends are always there. I think your blog is the greatest, so much fun and laughter with you and your family. I love your dining room. Your table settings and table clothes and flowers are so different and festive WoW, what a happy table to sit down to at Christmas. I love your blog
Merry Christmas 🎄 to all at LaLande and I’m so relieved Isabelle and Percy are covid free now. Sending them loads of love and blessings.
LaLande is a fountain. The power in what's happening there is magical. Careful. Don't go so fast trying to please viewers that you stop looking for and creating authentic joy. The authenticity is most endearing. This channel has influenced my style interests. I've been entertained, inspired, and educated by all of you. So grateful to see good people thriving somewhere.
Oh Stephanie, so sorry to hear your beautiful mummy caught covid. What a worrying time for you, yet you still managed to keep your vlogs upbeat for everyone. Hopefully she and Percy will be back at the chateau soon. It's so lovely to see your Aunt and Uncle in the vlogs. And LaLande has worked her magic and another romance has blossomed, how lovely. Merry Christmas to you all 💞☃️x
Here in canada we do the same initiative in the holidays the food bank always run out and we have in Québec guinolée and you just add 1-2 items in your weekly food purchase and build a box and give them to the food bank, ut doesn’t affect your own money and help so many people. So happy the store took isabelle and percy initiative
Merry Christmas to all you gorgeous people. Congrats to Stephanie and Philip, nati and amaury. So pleased for you. Wishing you all the best. Hugs and love Lisa xx ❤️😘.
And special congrats to mr&mrs Richmond (Stephane’s aunt&uncle) for 40 years. Love means so much more when it is partnered with commitment. ❤️
Merry Christmas to all you fabulous Lalanders! Huge congratulations to Nati and Amaury! 😍🥰I could see just after he first arrived a chemistry between them. LaLande casts a beautiful spell on all those open to its magic! So relieved to hear about Mommy and that Percy is ok too. Mommy is so strong and positive 💕And congratulations on you and Philip, Stefanie! Perfect ‘pairing’ throughout this year😁😍Waohhhhh! What a year!! Much love 💕 🥰🎄⛄️🎉💖🌸
Everything about this vlog was heartwarming, wishing you all health, joy and happiness.
What a beautiful couple congratulations Natalia and Amaury❤️
So happy that Isabelle is fully recovered …. What a worry. Percy is an Angel! 🙏 it must’ve been such a stressful time, and you just professionally carried on… like the true trouper that you are! You are a gift, dear Stephanie, and I wish you and Philip everything fabulous for 2022. Thrilled for Amaury and Nati! Thank you for uplifting and inspiring us! Love to all at Lalande! X ❤️
PS…. I am going to have serious withdrawal symptoms not being able to watch you on a daily basis. 🤣 It has been such a treat! Enjoy a wee bit of a rest. Enjoy your family and beautiful loved ones! ❤️
I definitely need to go to Lalande to find a hubby!
It is Love island
@@hsimpson6581 you mean love chateau? Omg Steph you need to trade mark this and make a reality tv show! Rent a chateau and create a dating show! 🤣
Me too!
Me too
I knew it! They were gone the same week, then Momma and Daddy arrived to celebrate! I think they are wonderful together!!!! Yea!
Merry Christmas to you all! Congratulations to Amaury and Nattie - I've known about it for some time now! ;-) The signs were there to be seen if you look. I think you should hide the passports of Amaury's parents, though, and keep them at the Chateau as the treasures they are!
They sure are. Oh my gosh! I love them so much, they are full of life, gusto and so much enthusiasm to help anywhere, how that they can do. Plus they are so cute.
@Stephanie I know, thought the same thing of Nati and Amaury very soon after he arrived and told my sister (who watches CD with me).
Eyes and body language can be very telling.
Very sweet to know it's true. Best to them both.. ⚘
Sending your mummy lots of love and healing energy for a strong and complete recovery ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
P.S. Last evening after Nati & Amaury’s special moment I’ll bet there was a collective worldwide gasp and joyful scream ! We all needed that . ❤️❤️Sheri
Thank God mummy is alright and Percy (The Braveheart) is as well. That must have been so scary for all of you to go through. I love that their idea of the buckets is spreading and they should be so proud of that. I also am very happy to hear that love is a contagion that is spreading within La Lande. Hopefully we can have a pandemic of love. Congratulations to all of the lovers from the past to the present who have resided within the walls of your beautiful chateau. Merry Christmas to you all!
Brave heart is a new name I shall treasure; thank you. 😊
Wow! Some of the scenes that was filmed of Isabel distributing the buckets are mere kilometers away from my house here in South Africa! How small the world really is!
And another scene is IN FRONT of my old HIGH SCHOOL! Wow!
Small world Indeed
Percy lives a block away from the school
2.32am here in Ireland and couldn’t believe it when I saw your vlog coming up. I’m in tears here watching Isabel and her beautiful message to youStephanie. I’m so delighted for Natty and Amaury and can’t believe we won’t be having our daily dose of Advent vlogs which have been magnificent . Congratulations to all at La Lande for all the work they have put in. Xx Sheila 🇨🇮
Occitan is still spoken in quite a lot of the SW of France, especially in rural areas - everyone is the village where I used to live speaks it.
"Your heart is full of fertile seeds waiting to sprout.'" This quote by Morihei Ueshiba perfectly describes the magical garden that is Lalande where visitors, volunteers, and residents, both new and old can bloom into their best selves and discover love.
Beautifully written ❣
The way you described is so accurate AND so poetic! Lovely!
Stephanie, thank you for bringing such joy to my life. I've had such a trying holidays filled with cancelled and ruined plans and my mother recovering from chemo treatments for lung cancer. Being able to escape everyday to Lalande and be with such warm and wonderful people has been a lifesaver ❤️
🥰Wishing you a peaceful 2022 and a speedy recovery for your dear mother!🙏💕
I hope you have a much, much happier 2022 ❤️❤️❤️
Great to hear the chateau diaries helped you during your tough times.
Tears sprang to my eyes when you started talking about your Mother Stephanie and so relieved that she has recovered 🙏 Working on the Advent vlogs ,though hard, must have been a vital distraction for you . Sending my love to Nati and Amaury ,I think most of us could see what was in plain sight, a lovely couple indeed.
Your vlogs ,Stephanie, just keep on getting better and better, I'm so glad I became a patron, you are the best and others try to follow (love Dan too ) You deserve your success. Now have a rest in January you certainly deserve it ❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
@@theselva Guess ya gotta have money to be recognized 🙄 If it weren’t for us Peons liking, watching & commenting in the 1st place she wouldn’t be where she is now ! Money talks, I guess ... which is what makes her sooo happy all the time 🙄
@@theselva I have had likes before and can't afford to be a patron, so that is not true. I checked and you got a ❤ from CD before.. LOL. I think you need a Christmas Hug and Prayer. Sending one your way.😁❤🌺🌹
@@kathyhuff8935 @niya nicola I've gotten likes and responses from Stephanie and I'm not a patron. Maybe it's kindness that's the key. What you put out into the world comes back to you in kind, pun intended 😉 Try it ... it really works, and I hope you can reap the rewards too.
Love is in the air at Lalande! So happy for both couples 😍 And also very glad to hear that Isabelle is doing fine now 🙏🏻 Thank you Stephanie and everyone who contributed to making all of this content for us during December, providing a bit of magic in these difficult times ✨ Forever grateful to have found this beautiful community 💕
Happy Christmas! Thank God Isabel and Percy is alright. Thank you again for this wonderful video.
I am as everyone so relieved that Isabel and Percy are well. I too wish Judy, and Isabel and Percy and Gerald were there. Please stay safe and well and return when you can. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! Greetings from Bermuda! So relieved that Mummy and Percy are well and the bucket tradition is increasingly successful.
Isabel and Percy's recovery and good health is your Christmas Miracle!
I want that teapot with the stand, so cute. Fun Christmas. The table set for Christmas dinner was beautiful. Isabel looks wonderful, the area is suiting her.
Isobel, your voice is more beautiful while you are sick than mine is in full health! Beautiful inside and out, I have no doubt that Mummy's buckets are the best! How wonderful that the helping tradition they created is being picked up by more people!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas! Just got home from my daughter’s to find this; couldn’t be a more perfect ending to my day! Blessings of the Season to all from Frederick Maryland USA!
Merry Christmas @LynneSmith- I’m in Leesburg! 🎄🎅🏽
MerryChristmas! From a fellow Marylander! (Hampstead)
Happy boxing day from Seattle, Washington.
My favourite favourite video of the year……truly life, love and laughter. I’m not going to thank you again as that seems so inadequate, I am going to say …these videos are part of the air that I breathe.
Congratulations to Natty and Amaury such a gorgeous gorgeous couple
Yes they are! 😍🥰
Mummy looks so beautiful. She is so missed. Love, love, love you all. Thank you for such a nice year full of vlogs-they are much appreciated and we do realize how hard you work to make them for us ❤️
Thank God mummy is all right🌹💃God bless you all🐱🎅🐦🎶🌈🙏
Thank you for making the Christmas season more joyful for us all. So many of us feel that we were there with you and part of the LaLand family. These are sad times in many ways and you remind us that love and laughter remain the best parts of the human experience. Thank you, Stephanie and all the LaLanders. 🎄
Oh my I could see why you were worried about your mom! I’m so glad both she and Percy are healthy! Thank you for recording the Christmas celebration. Cheers to family at La Londe !,,
I am so pleased to hear that Mummy is over the worst of Covid. Hopefully, being in SA she had the Omicron varient which by all accounts is no worse than a very very bad cold. But non the less still a very worrying time. So pleased for Natie and Amaury and yourself and Philip. La Lande is certainly a place full of love, life and laughter. ❤️ Xx
Only a light cold in my case!
@@isabellejarvis7805 that is good to hear. Happy Christmas to you and Percy and a happy and healthy 2022. We look forward to seeing you back at the Chateau at some point ❤️ x
I miss seeing Isabelle!!! Loved her beautiful song and I’m so glad she has recovered!! Congratulations to Nati and Amaury. Glad that’s out in the open now so we can all move forward. 😄Looking forward to all the lovely vlogs of 2022. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄🎄Happy New Year 🎉 🎉🎉
6:42 am and I’m crying buckets here in Somerset. What a vlog Stephanie and thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your celebrations. Thank The Good Lord that Mummy and Percy are ok and that Mummy has fully recovered. You must have been beside yourself with worry. As for love at LeLande, it’s in abundance and from the outset the spark between Amaury and Natti was there for all to see. Congratulations….as you know Stephanie and Phillip, it’s not easy being in ‘the public eye’ but I hope you all continue to be treated kindly. So here’s to you all, every good wish possible and may dreams continue to be made at your beautiful home.
So well said 💝
Hooray for finding love at LaLande🥰
Thank goodness Isabelle is ok. So much for doctor visits! Percy is certainly devoted. Aren't they lucky to have each other. Hooray for love, at the chateau, or wherever, it's amazing! Blessings to everyone!
I had a booked doctors appointment but developed a slight cough so the day before I went to have a test to show the doctor the next day that I was negative so she would see me, but I was positive so had to cancel!!!!! Big surprise. I was then treated by the GP and didn’t get any other symptoms. I count my blessings.
I am crying tears of joy feeling the love from everyone at Lalande and Isabelle & Percy. It has been such a joy this month to see the Advent Diaries. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and appreciation to everyone💚
Thank God your mum is ok. I so love your dear mum. And Percy is such a wonderful and loving man for her. God watches over us. God bless her and you Stephane and all of you there at the Chateau who bring a smile to our faces and give cheer to our day. :) Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄
Oh I’m so happy for Nati & Amauri!! It’s becoming a larger and as always -a loving family!! Congratulations to all , my best wishes and prayers for all La Landers for a prosperous and blessed Christmas holiday!
Heart felt gratitude to you, Stephanie, and all the LaLanders who worked so hard to bring us the wonderful Advent and Christmas preparations and festivities There was not a dry eye in the house after Isabelle’s song. So grateful that she snd Percy got through OK. Wishing you all every good thing, especially good health, for all the years of your lives. I know you will be blessed for all the joy you bring into the world.
Tears. Thankful for Isabelle and Percy’s good health and for her beautiful song about the Hope of our world. Thankful for friends and family and Love at La Lande. Such a bright spark of Grace in a dark world. Merry Christmas to all of you. (Thank you for filming on Christmas Day so that we could all be a part!)🌟💫❤️🎄✨🙏🎁🌟

First , so very happy to hear that your Mummy is doing better! Happy for Amaury and Nati, what a beautiful couple and of course Philip and Steph! What a lovely family and friends. Merry Christmas to each of you, stay healthy and well. xxx
The tablescape made me exclaim out loud. It was stunning! Merry Christmas everyone. I'm glad Mummy and Percy are well.
family, friends, strangers…LOVE wins 😊❤️🙏🏼
Seeing your Mummy reminded me of my little French Mother Mé Mére to many, gone but so missed. Isabel is darling and I wept thinking how you carried on when she was so far away. Happy knowing she is well. Nati and Amoury always seemed so right together. Lot of Electricity was always in the air! Happiness at LaLande, family and friends. Happy she's Year!
I knew it! Those 2 were holding hands last episode. And I was like, I see what’s going on 😂. I’m just happy to see everyone experiencing happiness. It’s not easy during these times to date. I started dating my guy this fall. After a few interesting guys, this one gives me peace.
Glad Isobel is well 🤗💐 Congratulations to Amaury & Nattie
Best wishes to all at the Chateau may all your hopes & dreams come true.🤗Thank you all for your input throughout the year.🤗

Wow Isabelle! That was quite a scare and your hymn made me cry! Delighted that the two primary relationships at La Lande are no longer secret so I wish all love to Steph and Philip and to Nati and Ameury. We are now approaching our 29th year and even more in love than we were at the beginning. Enjoy yourselves and each other ❣️. Now Stephanie (please apply a tone of admonition here). Will you please now rest!!!!! Silence for at least a week!!!! Loads of love 💛💛💛
Divine, divine, divine! Romance, love, life and laughter at LaLande this year. Is there something in the water or maybe the wine? Such wonderful news all round. Congratulations to you all. Thank you for another year of happy, informative and funny videos. Happy Christmas to all at LaLande. 💕
