I found your channel as I was sitting with my mom. I moved home to take care of my parents. My mom has since passed. We would sit and watch your videos and dream. I would tell her that some day I would go and visit you someday, she made me promise. I’m not sure It will happen anytime soon, as I’m now taking care of my amazing dad. This all being said, I would like to thank you for posting such happiness all the time, I feel like I know you all and you are my friends. I now watch all the amazing channels connected with you and maybe someday when it’s safe, I will make a extended trip and stay at all the amazing Chateaus featured on all your videos... I love watching all the progress… Thank you for sharing Stephanie...Blessing to all at Chateau da Lalande
The
Sadden to hear loss of your Mother....Prayers for Father and Yourself. I hope that Dream/ Promise of la Lande will come true❣
This is so sweet. I hope your dad is doing well. I love that your parents want to make sure you make some dreams come true after taking care of them in their elder years!

This comment is so sweet. I’m sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother.
Only Selma could go from a human waste container to playing Cupid in a white suit while entertaining us with his great sense of humor. You were all at your best. Great vlog.
IKR
He really should have been wearing at least a mask, preferably a respirator in that area.
If I could put 2 thumbs up on this statement, I would. Too fun! Who are all these incredible people who have found each other??
Selmar exclaiming "Happy Halloween!" and then remembering that it was Valentine's day made my day🤣
Freudian slip?? 🤣🤣🤣
Nah, he meant that it was a dress up day. My question is , how does he have room for so many wonderful outfits in such a tiny camper van?
@@megankazukibuttons9334 Because secretly he is Mr Benn! 😂💞
@@moiragoldsmith7052 I am afraid I'm not familiar with. Mr. Benn.
I'm from Philadelphia PA, USA
@@megankazukibuttons9334 Ahh. It was a children's programme many years back. Mr Benn wore a bowler hat and smart suit usually; but if needed would go into his wardrobe and come out wearing exactly what was needed for the occasion. 😂💐
I can totally relate to Nati... all dressed and "ready to run" only to find myself 2 hours later still avoiding actually going out for a run! 😂😂
Adventerous Selmar went below the loo,
Too a mysterious, magical land of poo.
And although no tunnels could be found,
He brought us new footage from underground!
Thank you for such a fun video, happy Valentine's Day all! ❤
Hahaha
Rachael Jones
That was brilliant
Well done Rachael
I am Racheal Jones, too. With an e-a-l. So...
Romantic Selmar dressed all in white
Made ValenDine's Day a pure delight,
With a bow in his hands and wings on his back,
He launched arrows in a Chateau Love Attack!
That was cute, witty, creative, fun - perfect. TY for sharing it. I'm grinning ear to ear after a very stressful evening
^^Elite comment
Selmar is a real gem. So fun and sweet to be around and very kind. He's a good man, indeed.
Not to mention rather humble and down to earth.
And very good looking too 😁
@@dmacisaac9382 Oh my goodness, you’ll never get any argument from me about that 😉
Don’t you think the gifts last night were exceptionally creative. Everyone completely enjoyed them. I love how everyone is free to be whoever they are. It is a place of great safety and respect (and love) for each individual. Only a loving person with a huge heart could have so much room for everyone. As I tell all my friends, you can’t fake this. Deep respect and love for Stephanie, Queen of LaLande.
Exactly: "You can't fake this."
Well said, Cheers to that! 🍻
I second that emotion !!!
Stephanie is a genuinely lovely person. May she always be blessed with happiness, prosperity & love.
John - what an exceptional comment.
Selmar “ I’m a bit claustrophobic” as he goes into the tunnel, and getting all mucked 🆙 .......then later appears as Cupid with wings and all in white, .....have to love this guy!,,,
Did Selmar have wings in his camper as well? The man is a miracle.
I have long suspected that Selmar is a time lord and the camper is in fact a tardis.
Selmar is a gentle soul with his vibrant laughter, so much love he shows.
Marie you look lovely in your dress .
Philip's, "Ooh, hello, Nati!" had me giggling!!
I absolutely adore that you waited for Selma, I’m not surprised, you are all full of love!
Selmar
Selmar you are so sweet, kind, hardworking, gentle and adorable
I just adore Selmar..."no beer and cheese"? hahaha....and then with his Cupid angel wings...he brings so much joy to the world...as do you all!
"I've got no objection" says Philip. Love it! 😂
Your Valentines heart shaped cake looked delicious with the strawberries covered in chocolate. As usual Phillip created a stunning table decor.
I vote for a photo shoot of Selmar in his Cupid suit💘
It wouldn’t bother me at all exploring the cavernous site. Selmar is an adventurous person to challenge his claustrophobic fears and just get in there and do it. Fearless! This is a very cute ChateauDiary edition. Thank you, Stephanie! Love to everyone!
I have said Selmar is an angel sent to LaLande. He even has the wings to prove it. Happy "Valendines" to you all. The cake looked amazing as did you lovely ladies and handsome gents.
Is it a hedgehog home? I’m so excited! Thank you so much for Sunday’s episode. You show such gratitude and live with such humble grace! You and your colorful cast of friends and love and laughter are such a blessing to us all. That’s why people want to give to you and your dream, because your dreams have become ours. A magical place place far away where we can make a difference and plan an adventure! Thank you so much for all the strength it took to be where you are today. You have worked hard and have earned it!
Imagine a giant mama hedgehog living there 😂😂😂
what has happened to the Lalande hedgehog ? does anyone know ?
@@0999milky They just come and go.
I love how Selmar always knows how to dress up🕺
I am constantly amazed at Selmar's wardrobe!!!! Every special occasion, no matter what it is, he has a fabulous suit, shoes, ties and even wings at the ready. You all looked so lovely at your dinner and that cake looked delicious. Happy Valentine's Day to you all.
And all kept in a small home (his camper)
Everyone looked so nice at the Valendines Monday dinner, especially Cupid! Such a beautiful cake too!
Diverse Mr. Selmar~ Man of many talents ~ Climbing in a cesspit in the afternoon then dressed in a white tux with feathered wings in the evening shooting love across the world! 💕
Now now ... tomatoes are a fruit, actually -- right? Steph was in charge of the veggies, so tomatoes are not her department. But Philip was in charge of the wine, which comes from grapes, which is fruit. So the tomatoes were on him, haha!
LOL!!🤣🤣🤣
When I've used up fresh tomatoes & it's Mexican food night, I open a can of diced tomatoes & use that.
Can't wait.. Can't wait.. can't wait.. ooh the suspense 😁
Maybe a calendar with Selmar in all his different costumes. As well as all of you in your different attires. Nati could have a sultry glamour model look. ????
It was worth waiting the extra day to celebrate Valentine’s Day together, just to see Selmar play Cupid. Brilliant! And that heart shaped choc cake looked devine.
Sending love to you all from Melbourne, Australia 😘
Semlar has major Fun Uncle energy
Stunning! Stunning! Stunning! Absolutely Stunning! All of it!
Stephanie as always you are very elegant!
Oh my goodness! Selmar’s wings are spectacular! Your Valendine’s dinner was lovely as usual! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s true,this is the best show on TV.Thankyou.Big Valentine bisous 💋
That was beautiful Stephanie. So many countries represented around the table. The best Valentine's Day at the Chateau because you have a great love for each person that is there with you.💝💝💝💝
So funny, Cupid firing arrows round the world. Nearly choked on my cuppa. 🤣
Valen-dine ??? valen-dine ?????? I feel the word-play of our Philip here. Cant wait to see what the subterranean room reveals - so exciting. thank you for sharing ... so enjoyable. I particularly loved the valentine 'unwrap' episode ... Selmar and Philip were in great form
In the modern era of commercialization it’s more like valen-dimes day!
@@michaelwoodbodley8099 LOL ... I see what you did there ... and you are soooooooooooooo right
Need to do a video on normal shopping for household items such as groceries and supplies. It would help viewers in other countries to see how locals live and shop. What is the nearest town/village/city near the chateau and show what is available there for groceries/bread/meat etc.
Loved the Atlas game...sending love to the entire world on the QT though 🥰😘
Thanks for the arrow on London! All Londoners need all the love and support this year! xxx
WOW!! I have no words ... you made us all appreciate Valentine's Day forever !! Selmar in white w/ the wings !!....think that only happens in dreams .... Natie, boomshell ! Thank you all ❤ 🌹
I had a crap weekend but this just cheers me up. I hate COVID
🥰I hope the coming days are better for you!🥰
For the life of me I cannot understand how anyone could give these videos a thumbs down!
I love every minute of them! I laughed so much tnrough this eposide.
There is a whole archaeology discipline devoted to digging out oubliettes and cess pits! Amazing information can be extracted from the contents. Some cool videos on sites in Pompeii and Herculaneum. Good luck
Thanks Maureen, sounds very interesting, I'll have to look them up!
Yes Mary Beard has videos about this, fascinating! They're able to know what Pompeiians ate. So cool.
Always wondering did the Marquis in the 18th century that had close connections to Marie A
end up like a lot of the land owner aristocracy at the hand s of the revolutionists?
What a gorgeous collection of people!!! However, I have to say, Natalie, you have excelled yourself! That gold top you're wearing is absolutely magical!!! x
LOL! The exploration under the Chateau was so cool; however, I don’t think I would have been as brave as Selmar was. The thought of going down where poo could have been makes my stomach churn...😝 Phillips answer to Stephanie’s question about how he felt about Selmar being the one to go down instead of him was priceless. I could tell on the other video about going down there he wasn’t too thrilled....not like Selmar. You all looked fabulous for your 💜 dinner. The chocolate cake looked delicious!!! 😋 Stay well...be safe...and blessings to you all!!!
All you people getting icked-out by the pit ... what do you think dirt is, that you touch all the time when you garden? It's decades and decades of poo, dead animals, dead humans, rotten food, rotten vegetation, and rock dust. After 75 to 100 years, what was in that pit has turned to dirt. And probably very rich and fertile dirt at that.😉
You all looked wonderful, and what a beautiful cake 😍 But... Can I just say.... Marie, you looked absolutely stunning in that new dress 😁
HAHAHAHAH Selmar on Valentine's Day with heart-shaped balloons, "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" I adore this man...
I really like this Video. I really enjoy when Phillips said oh Nadi. It was funny and she look Gorgeous.
Brilliant, well done on having valentines day a day later so selmar could be there,he did a great job of being Cupid and the cake looks delicious, ❤🐝🦋🌻
Salmar is super adorable in the shot.... both such sweet souls .... can’t wait
I probably get way too excited about all the goings on on this channel! Heheh. I sit here clapping and cheering so much, I have to laugh at myself. 😹
@@selmarduinofficial ❤️x
When you describe your father as your best friend...Mine was too and I too went into a deep spiral down following his death.
I remember telling my therapist that I spent a bunch of money on my credit cards when my dad died. I was expecting him to say something to confirm my guilt- he didn't. I was trying to buy myself things to avoid the depression, the grief. It eventually grabs you. Your comment took me back to that year. I was just telling some friends earlier I miss my dad today.
I still cry a little most days remembering my best friend, my Daddy, seven years on from his death. I think it is very special that Steph shares her grief and her love for her Father . I hope you are feeling stronger . Love never dies xxxx
Nati looked so pretty at the end!
I loved it all.. the excitement..the reveal... phillips snorting laugh....and then cupid... we allllll need a selmar cupid... xo
Love Phillips laughing snort! Makes me laugh evert time...
Oh Selmar! Your arrow of Love was so close! I'm just a couple hundred miles south of Canada! Loved your Cupid's Valentine Suit complete with wings.
I had chocolate cake with cherries atop, yummy 😋
Take care, hugs to Diesel 🐕 ❤️
Love the balloons and spreading love into the world. We need more of that. 💞💞
Olden day version of a septic tank or 'thunderbox'.
Wooden toilet box dropped contents into a collection vessel that was emptied via the outside stone manhole.
Philip is so cute, I love his humor! Mint-amalist! I so enjoy all of you!
when Phillip said he had no objection I definitely laughed out loud, don't blame him one iota
Stephanie said she had the original plans of La Lande. I wonder if it is shown on there. Possibly a wine store.
As Davy confirmed, definitely a cesspit.
Oh lala, Nati you looked super. You ladies always go all out. X
thanks lovely!!!
Only Selmar can get away with one minute looking like Indiana Jones On a underground mission & then a vision in white as Cupid sending love around the world. ❤️
You finally got to see the hole.
Selmar got to be the mole.
He is such a braisin soul.
Standing on a mound of poo and goo
Philip say's I'm glad it's you.
Stef who see's the glass 1/2 full:
There within we shall seek and find us gold a big heep
Selmar the Brave in the cavin to Cupid wings on Valentine. Wonderful! The spreading of love all over the world with close friends epic.
My advice replace the parsley with cilantro (coriander leaves) for an authentic taste for your tacos and guacamole.
Selmar... such a Renaissance Man! Explorer of Cesspool by Day and Cupid by Night❣
Selmar is simply an angel with a lot of hair and a beard. What cant he do. Amazing episode
Looove that table setting🥰 you all looked beautiful😊💕❣💕 and the cake...!!!😋
Selmar is a superhero! He works so hard!
That chocolatecake looked so delicious and pretty! I love that you show the French supermarkets. This summer we hope to go on holiday in France again and I love the different products in each country. I especially love the 🥖 baguettes! Love from the Netherlands
Wonderful Valen-dine vlog! Made my day! Texas is freezing and it's very serious. However, I could escape for a few minutes. Thank you. Selmar is a fabulous Cupid. (I also am familiar w/cesspits from off-grid life) What a wonderful group!
Selma you make one cute cupid! Thanks for sending love our way❤❤❤💐💐💐
Selmar's cupid stunt with the atlas was really great, and perhaps, a new sort of after dinner game.
I love ❤️ that Valentines game!! Selmar is just fantastic - he goes from working in frozen poop to wearing angel 😇 wings (from dirty trousers to a white suit)
Happy Valentine’s Day beloved ones thank you for the joy you bring.🌈❤️🇨🇦
Loved this vlog but even more that you are so considerate that you waited for selmar and diesel to get back. You are a team and the respect for each other is evident. Omg that cake made me drool. Happy valendines day to you all ❤️❤️
So much fun! Many THANKS to all of you and specially Cupid, AKA Selmar!
Selmar looks fab in white with wings. I'm sure every female heart is now in love with him🥰
This vlog was so entertaining (as are all of them lol) everyone looks so beautiful and the cake looked amazing. Thank you for sending love to Canada and I would like to send it right back to you. I must admit that I am a bit confused about Selmar's camper; ahhhhhh where in the camper does he keep all his clothes? work clothes he uses everyday beautiful dancing outfits and his many costumes and the gifts of clothes he receives from viewers like ties , scarfs , sweaters and suits not to mention his many shoes and also Diesel's jackets. I am beginning to believe that he is magical. He showed up at LeLande exactly when you needed him , he can fix anything he became a mason overnight then he was exploring caverns in bright yellow wellies and to top it all off making a magical Nativity stable for the baby Jesus. I guess I really should not be surprised that his camper can hold all those pieces of clothing. I do just wonder why he didn't just make he camper fly home thru the night when the battery died perhaps it had something to do with not being able to make his coffee elixir. All in all I think you are all fantastic and LeLande is magical and that is why Selmar is there.
Phillip is pretty good with puns in the English language.
Hmmmm - do my sharp eyes detect something catching fire on the stove at 27:42? LOL - by 28 mins, the item has been moved, and the door opened to let in fresh air..... :D
Your new woven scarves look perfect! Shenanigans with the plates. Cute guys! Even a septic tank was made well and to last. Fascinating! The Dutchmen are darling! Selmar "no coffee and a little bit, aaah".
I love your plates with chinoiserie borders. Looks like a wonderful Valentine's dinner complete with Selmar in white with bow and arrow.
You guys make everything such fun! I love the way Philip views a table as a Tableau for the gorgeous fabrics and dishes.
Well I just called my sister in California .....she watches you at night.....I had to tell her about the discovery ❗️She told me she may get her wound vac. off this week, it has been on since before Christmas...she has come a long way and looking forward to your shows has been a highlight in her recovery , thank you all for your help❣️
"Happy Monday Valentines Day" your cake looked amazing! LOVE from Chicago
Wow, that cake is stunning Guys. Happy Valentines
O how you have brought us such great high jinx with your cess pool continuing adventure and a lovely Valendine's!! Everyone looked gorgeous!! Loved Marie's perfect red Valentine lipstick!
That cake looked AMAZING! 😍😋
Everyone looked stunning.
Marie- LOVE YOUR DRESS. U look amazing in it..very complimentary color for uour skin tone. Everyone looked fabulous. I wish I could say it in Grinchs voice on here when he tells himself he looked fabulous lol.
Nati, you are so cute! I believe we would be friends if we ever met!
You guys are the best Selmar is such a delight
Thank you Cupid for all the LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aww, Selmar didn't send any love to Australia, well I will still send love to you all, xxx Doreen, Melbourne, Australia xxx
Lol, the towel on the stove catching fire. I would of liked to see the reaction when that was seen!
I didn't even see that! I will have to replay it.
when? lol
I luv it when Selmar gets so excited and the cake is a masterpiece!
This was a fantastic vlog, what with Selmar braving the poo cavern, hectic food shopping.. Baguettes at last minute... Loved your Valendine celebrations and what a beautiful cake 😍
Marie. I think you've found the perfect cut for your petite figure. You look stunning. Chocolate ganache?
My father was born on Valentine's Day 1918. He passed in 2007. My mother, who passed in 2014 always made a heart shaped black velvet birthday cake topped with cherries!
🥰Sounds delicious! What a sweet loving gesture! 🥰
My birthday is Valentines Day. I have had a lot of heart shaped Birthday Cakes in my many years. 😄
THE EXCITEMENT OF METAL DEFECTING WOULD BE A WONDERFUL A VIDEO!!!
