Gerry being a celebrity at the airport never gets old.
Andrew seems like such a lovely person! Fantastic that he stopped by to go find a new home and ended up with one right down the way :D
Praying that the little Hedgehog will improve. That was a wonderful, family homecoming for Gerald....what a lovely La Lande family!!!!

I am worried about him too. He has to make it somehow...
Next time Dan should take his gift home and open it there

Dan will barrow the Digger and Amaury's tools and machines so don't worry about a few pens and twist ties.

Herbert curling up and sleeping is probably the most precious thing I’ve seen in ages 😭💕
So nice to see Gerry back at the chateau. I hope you can get Herbert to eat soon.
LaLande is so alive, I can hear your happy laughter all the way to the 🇺🇲. Welcome back Scotman, missed you ❤
Another thing you and Andrew have in common is the laugh. You each have original laughs. 🤣
I hope that's the hedgehog I found by the sheep pen when I was there a few weeks ago. It was after dark when I was stargazing and I went back the next day to find it and it was gone. It's the same size. I'm so happy to see a little creature being saved from the cold. And a shout out to Josie who is the warmest, kindest, and most interesting person I've met in a long time!

Did you appear in any of the vlogs?
Never feed hedgehogs milk as it can cause diarrhoea; instead provide plain, fresh water in a shallow bowl. The moist cat food is best for Herbert, but someone mentioned adding water to thin it down and that may be helpful. He may have been dehydrated, and if he keeps drinking water it may perk him back up. Sweet creatures!

@Stella Marie Poetry and Green Arts yes, I commented because others were commenting to feed milk, and that is not a good food source for hedgehogs

I suggested baby formula. A vet friend said that it should be non-dairy puppy formula or non dairy baby formula if that’s all you can get. Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant.

I will miss Josie, I love her down to earth caring personality, but welcome to Andrew and his partner, they seem like a lot of fun , and congratulations on finding your new home 🙏🏻
🥰 LaLande is the hub of joyous people -what a blessing to live in a home filled with amazing friends and love. 😊
try making a slurry of his food, warmed and see if he will take some. you can always put some on his tongue towards the back so he'll swallow. can also use small syringe - from an animal feed store or vet or drugstore. the drinking is a good sign. He seems engaged and eyes are bright enough. the sugar from the honey can stimulate appetite. good luck and hang in there Herbert.

I always used to avoid McDonald’s like the plague when I was traveling in Europe, but one time I got stuck on a Sunday in Austria because everything was closed. I grudgingly went in and discovered they had croissants (warm from the oven!) and freshly squeezed orange juice. I ordered and was invited to select a seat and they would bring the meal out when it was ready…it was a fabulous surprise!
This vlog was such fun - I mean they always are but this was extra special.

Josie reminds me of my grandma Ruthie, loving, stern, funny and full of life! I think Herbert has found his family!
Josie did add a lot to the vlog. Love Stephanie in eye glasses. Don't know how Stephanie keeps so many of her vlogs fresh and fun. Love it.
Love and hugs to Herbert …
Life at Lalande seems to be a constant flurry of parties, activities, people coming and going, and never ever a dull moment. It’s just a dream life that Stephanie has created, and she is the perfect chatelaine. Very entertaining to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Loved Gerrys suitcase...steltoes, bin bags and now cable ties. 😂😂
One of my favorite vlogs today! So much energy and then little Herbert! Oh, be still my heart!
"Tartan wonder!" Love it!
Oh my goodness 💞 She's mummy Josie 😍 I love her adorably.....lol Stephanie your guests and friends are just the best ever! 🥰
Prayers for Herbert...that he gets his appetite back and thrives under your collective care.
Josie is so charmig an funny and has such a warm energy. She so beautiful as well, such a pretty smile. Sorry I just had to say this.
Herbert is absolutely the most adorable creature ever! My daughters said they would swim all the way over to France if they could play with him when they arrived. Now that is a real hedgehog lover! Get well soon Herbert!
I’ve been watching videos all day it’s 1:13 am and no sleep yet . Thank you all for your kind loving giving videos . You have no ideal how much we love and look forward to a new one . I’m still watching older ones and I love each one and I watch till the end . God bless ❤️🙏🏻
I think the word is out in hedgehog circles...when in need of assistance head for Lalande . Hope little Herbert will be ok. So sweet.
So glad for you water pressure fix. I fairly certain at least seven or more videos have dealt specifically with the water pressure at the chateau. Someone should count. It's things like this that those of us who have been watching for while remember.
A real family atmosphere.
We really need an extra chateau cooking channel for all these amazing meals we see go by!
You need to prune your apple trees. They will produce fruit next year.
I don't know much about Hedgehogs, but because he is so young, maybe he still needs mom's milk? I know mom is not around, but maybe call the vets or animal hospital and ask them what kind of milk are they allowed. He is so adorable. I hope he makes it, poor little Herbert. Good luck.
This is a real lift to the spirit! Merci!
Wishing a speedy recovery for Herbert from the US 🤗. You’ll have to get Josie back soon.
I am sitting here with tea and my Hedgehog stuffed toy from my trip to Scotland from many years ago. Such joy to watch today's Vlog and see Gerry and a Hedgehog. Love from NC USA.
Another fun day at LaLande! Thanks for sharing the joy!

This was a great blog, I genuinely don't understand the thumbs down, there are just some very sad and mean people who obviously have no one to love. Stepheny and clan, you're a breath of fresh air. I have had some bad news (lung cancer) but watching you has taken my mind off it so thank you all! I hope Herbert feels the love and survives! Love and Blessings from Amsterdam NL x

What a wonderful group of humans you have surrounding you at La Lande. Josie's dinner and cake look delicious. My heart belongs to sweet little Herbert though. I do hope you manage to help him and I know if anyone can it's you all. What a precious little creature. Much love from me to all of you.
It’s amazing how many people are looking for or purchasing homes in France these days! I would love to do the same some time soon! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow. What a day! So many great moments. I especially enjoyed the laughs shared by Stephanie and Gerald right after the BBC call. It was a joyful muppet-like moment. Pure joy. Fingers crossed for wee Herbert.
This vlog was very special, I don't like people leaving, I wish they all stayed
Watching these earlier episodes is equally satisfying. A proven success story!
You now have a pet hedgehog. He looks really young soo he might never be able to return to the wild.. but atleast we know the little thing will be well loved.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful day!!! Enjoyed everything!!! Good to see how Gerry is doing, will always stay in my prayers, enjoyed seeing the guest, wonderful video Stephanie.
Brilliant video tonight. Prayers and love for little Herbert 🦔
Blessings to Herbert. Scotman great to see you again... So much happening as usual. Love love love it all.
Good to see Gerald again. La Lande is a busy place!
I love that hedgehogs are still popping up at lalande reminds me of the old videos with the ones inside 🤣
I love Josie. She's barely left and I want her back already! Hurrah - Gerry's back!! Can't wait to see work getting started on his apartment. Hoping it means he will come to stay for good one day. Looking forward to getting to know Andrew and his hubby and their new place. I pray Herbert makes a full recovery, and Phillip gets some bonding time with him upon his return. Aaaaahhh...Just the usual lovely happy busy daily life vlogs I so enjoy. Thank you Stephanie and all the Lalanders for showing us what really good living looks like!
Wonderful video! Get strong Herbert!
Congratulations to David and Summer Lalande on their anniversary!😍🌹
Very nice presentation and full of lovely people. This is the best part for me to view everyone in their element.
I love this daily activity sort of vlog. Cheers to all the new faces.
Josie is adorable!!
His sisters shoes. What a guy. I love when Gerald is at the Chateau
As this video proves, there is never a dull moment at the chateau! 🦔 🍔 🛠 🍰 👠
So good to see Gerry back 👍 you will miss josie she is so good and always so bright looking x x
Another lovely happy vlog 😊 Fingers crossed for little Herbert 🦔🤞☺️ Josie is a hoot 😆
Good to have Jerry back now we’re missing mommy and Percy
This video has touched my heart! Peace, Love, and Light! God be with Little Herbert! P.S, The hot dogs looked delicious!
Herbert is very cute, everything is happening! That hot dog was a sight to behold, good to see Jerry again.
You have 60 thousand people from around the world prayer for that baby hedgehog. We’re all anxious to know if he made it.
Prayers for Herbert 🙏🏼 ❣️ he will make it ! Hallelujah for water pressure ..and pink tiles are fabulous 💗💗💗💗 every video has such beautiful people !
Beautiful vlog, thank you Stephanie. 🥰
Everyone needs a Gerry in their lives. He is the best! I love Josie!
Such a fun video😁😍 Hope Herbert is thriving 🦔
My favourite kind of vlogs 🙂
Great vlog. Love the atmosphere. Such closeness and respect for each other. Beautiful to note
I hope Herbert has recovered. I saw a lot on the chat log about how best to feed him if he’s not weaned or is very weak so I won’t repeat it. It’s so lovely to see Gerry back! I always really miss him when he’s gone. Nice to see new neighbors too. What fun and what a lovely couple. And a 20 year anniversary is an amazing thing. I wish them many more. You’re having wonderful meals! What a kitchen gem you found.
Oh lovely. So good to see everyone and wonderful Gerry is back.👍👍
Welcome to La Lande, we feed our own.. priceless. I love these vlogs, Josie is wonderful and GERALD IS BACK!!!!!! Yippee!!!!
Lovely video as usual. So glad to see Gerry back, he's such a kind, loving beautiful being. Josie seems like a wonderful person. I hope Herbert gets better, I was wondering if you have pet stores near you that may carry Hedgehog food, this might work better for him. If you don't let me know and I will send some. Stephanie as always a kind, generous , loving woman Love from Canada 🇨🇦 to all of you.

What a great vlog. Josie rocks. So glad she's able to come back next year. And the hedgehog I hope it survives the wee pet
Awh hope Herbert will be ok. Nice to see Gerry back. Dan does make me laugh . The food that Josie cooked looked yummy. The fireworks looked lovely. Loved watching
Pick up a bird cage at Emmaus to keep for sickly hedgehogs and other tiny critters. In case you don't have one. Gerry!!! I love him. What a blessing to have him in your life. Love the shoes video. Thanks for sharing these wonderful people Stephanie.
Herbert drinking was actually the cutest sound ever
Me encantó la dulzura de ustedes con los animalitos es tan dulce y hermoso 🥰🤗❤️💚💜🤍💖💌🌸🌷🌺🌾🍁🍂✨✨✨✨✨✨
I usually wait to watch your videos till the wee morning hours, but because Gerald was there I couldn’t help but watch right away.
I just dream of staying in lalande, sitting and the kitchentable with my sketchbook while poeple cook and go out and in. It honestly just sounds like a dream! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
What a magic La La Land WHAT a magical place! LOVE you guy's! ❤
The hedgehog could feel the pulse in your wrist and fell asleep. Such good hearts at LaLand.
First time I saw the little garden around the fountain. It looks wonderful😎❄️☃️
Iam in love wth Gerald, he is such a wonderful, sweet, cute personality.need more videos of Gerald, thank you ☮️🥰🆒❤️🍀😁☮️🇺🇸
Life, love and laughter! I hope Herbert is nice and chubby by now 🦔. And it’s wonderful to see Gerry again!
A lovely video. Full of caring and love, especially for little Herbert. Such a dear little creature, he has everyone here wishing him well. I know that he will get the very best care 💕
Josie is delightful. Encouraging to watch such kind and thoughtful people.
Fabulous entertainment. Andrew and his partner will be a great new addition living so close by. I adore Josie, what a treasure... off to town all dressed up with her handbag on her arm. Later in the day in her nightie and dressing gown. Good to see Gerry back. Dan and the boys drop in...adore those mini Dan's. Fireworks to round off the day.
I’m new to the blogs but I’m already binge watching everything. It makes me want to come visit and forget to ever leave. The friendship and hospitality is infectious!!!
