As LaLande’s foremost chicken xylophone expert, you need to take a black sharpie and draw solid black circles on the keys. Or draw some bugs. But simple solid black circles work well- the chickens think they’re insects and start pecking on them.

Good idea!!

Grant clipping sheep and resurrecting the Percy board!! Cars arriving, Spud waking the guests at dawn, mountains of cushions! AHHHH LaLande we love you so.

LOL I have to laugh about the tidying up making your relationship better~ Been with my husband for 40 years and married for 35 and it's important to be on the same page when it comes to the level of tidy one needs!

Great to see grant back at Lalande.

The ladies were ""Absolutely Fabulous " ....LITERALLY...hysterical ! Grant moved the stonework around like he was shuffling cards . The look on Phillip's face, so funny ! I love it ! Love from California ! 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴

A wonderful vlog!!! You have a real talent for these "day in the life" videos. A superb sampling of what is happening. Truly enjoy them!!!

Omg! Grant is back. So nice to see him. The court yard looks amazing!

Thank you for always sharing your special lives with us.

I just love watching Lalande during the summer months, with happy guests, lovely outside dinner parties, gorgeous food and the beautiful grounds as the back drop to it all 🥂💐🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

Amarie Calling natty sweetheart just melted my heart!

Love the way Phillip layed the table. 🎉

Clever Nancy. LaLande is coming alive, with love, life and laughter 😍

The courtyard is so beautiful already, I can only imagine once the trees have grown!! It must be so lovely to wake up and see that out your window ^_^ You are truly living many people's dream :)

Love Grant’s Jersey! Go Warriors!!!!!!

You all make life a dream, lovely people, lovely dining and a wonderful day full of sunshine and happiness.

AMERY is so right, " It's Lalandé". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not the Day of the Triffids Stephanie.... More like The Trouble with Tribbles 🤣🤣🤣❤

Phillip always finds the perfect stuff! Great hooks!

As always with the chateau blooming all around and happy people this is the best part of Sunday for me great vlog.

Love Nick's magic ability to read a book through a paper bag! Extraordinary powers!

Really a nice relaxed video..🇨🇦❤️💕👍💐 sending love from Newfoundland to you all ...💞

I just had to tell you. Thank you for such wonderful videos. Taking a break from exams, the news and every day challenges is just what I need sometimes. What a breath of fresh air. 🤗

I love grant and his accent 🥰 it’s great he’s helping you out again.. hope the baby chicks 🐤 hatch ok 🙏🏻 cannot wait to see all the work you’ve done ✅

Oh Steph I just love your vlogs to bits. Takes me away from my mundane life and soothes my soul!

As always, the best way to take a break on a Sunday afternoon. And if I haven’t said it already, liking the new outro format. ❤️🇨🇦

Find me an empty chair and I will find clothes to put on it. It’s seems to be the universal thing to do! Love, love the chickens and all of you at LaLande.

Great to see Nick back! And Grant and finally Amaury (he's been absent from the vlogs lately). Great episode Stephanie, thank you!

That scene in the kitchen with Spud walking past the roasting chicken in the oven was a classic!

Love, Love, Love

I think it's wonderful how everyone pulls together to look after the guests. It looks like they had a wonderful stay.

Just finished watching and I have to sit down. So much material and each piece a nugget. Firstly , the portrait of you at two years old just popped off the wall.. Cuteness itself. Mysteries covered on the couch and copper chair are remedied with hooks. Houseful of wonderful guests and car enthusiast visitors make Lalande a go to spot for rest and enjoyment .Although the rooster was dangerously to the stove in the kitchen for his own good. Amuery looks exhausted right now. I know he is creating magic in the grand salon but may be over whelmed by the "LaLande Effect" and long for quiet times..Its okay to take a little time for your self in order to hear the thoughts in your own head. Just so glad you are you.. Brooding hen and performing chicks, sheep for shearing ,clematis flowering ,onions ripening. Time for Dinner. Cushions stuffed and robes hung , dinner is enjoyed with friends , good food and laughter. Magic. All good here. Now I'm off to Bordeaux and Ville Nave and see how Edd and Anna are doing. Such a busy French Sunday.!!

Waving to everyone from Nfld, Canada

Aussie Grant in the Chateau, Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi! That was such an awesome Video I got my Chateau fix for the day loved watching Phillip and Steph they are so made for each other 💕

Yes, and I love to see their love for each other really shine, I'm so happy for them !!

Your cousins reaction when you asked him if he knew what all the cars were about was priceless. Great vlog wish I was in France right now instead of NZ... glad Phillip is back in the fold.

I just come in from work and heard that Marie is back at La Lande, I hope she's feeling ok and know she is in the best place and with the nicest people. Send her our love x

Absolutely charming - you two are just charming. You bring such joy and happiness.

I think that Nancy is about the cutest chicken that I have ever seen!

Sitting with a glass of Rose and a hunk of Comte enjoying your vlog here in Calgary❤️

THANK YOU FOR MY PATREON CARD !!! It is a beautiful one of Thor at the moat bridge. xxxxx

Well, it looks as if the relationship is saved! 🤪😂 The oldtimers gave the chateau a Downton Abbey vibe for a moment, lovely! The yellow Jeep was my favorite too. Because yellow is my fav color and I drive an oldtimer Jeep myself. 😁 Thank you so much for all the joy!! 🤩💝🤩 Now maybe I can find the priority-time and courage to fix the mess in our bedroom. I can’t blaim my husband, it’s all me… 🙈

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a couple better suited for each other than Steph and Philip! Thank you for inviting us into your lovely life at LaLande. Kelly

leaving the leftover cheese focaccia for the chickens, what a lifestyle.

I feel for those chickens (here’s looking at you, Nancy). I was forced to six years of piano lessons and learning little. 🤣❤️

Starting giggling 1 minute in because I too have "the chair" with "jeans I wore the day before and might again tomorrow" situations 😅

LaLande is coming to life again and so wonderful. I'm in the process of moving to a sweet little house that is going to be my little country cottage. You all inspire me in my decorating and cheer me up with I'm overwhelmed. I just wish I had the wonderful scenery you have there, aka Philip, Amaury, Dan & Grant. Thanks for the encouragement.🙏❤️🏰

Congratulations on your own mini Lalande!

More FUN as usual! Between the chickens and the cockerels, guests, birthdays and feasts it's magical at LaLande! I want to come to France and visit! Much love from MA🐳😍

Those ladies need a channel of their own absolutely fabulous what amazing guests you get. Nice to see Dan back too ;)

Looks like Girls' Night OUT! Absolutely lovely!

Georgette here…..watched this late and enjoyed it so much, I like seeing everyone pitching in with running the B AND B and the way people feel at home there❣️

Loved seeing Nick reading through a paper bag; chickens and Spud the rooster are happy times at Lalande.

I love joining the chateau through these vids, even though I will never be able to travel to France, I feel like I have had a mini vacation just by watching your vlogs.

Stephanie, clearly the paper bag-esque vase belongs with the elusive Nick. Who better to appreciate the artistic vision of that piece? Have I mentioned how much I appreciate the new and improved intro/exit of the videos? I used to worry that your marathon recitation of Patrons would someday do you in. “Doctor, what killed her? Lack of oxygen from too many upper echelon Patrons.”

I love to see all the progress in the garden and the courtyard! Though it would be marvelous to be able to enjoy the chateau in 1080p or even 4k ;)

I love to see the summer time at LaLande. All season's are beautiful, but summer means more outdoor dinners and parties.

The paper bag is a very special design by by Finnish sculptor and designer Tapio Wirkkala. It was originally designed in the 50s or 60s, i I think. I have one of the originals. It is a large brown bag, and looks just like a paper bag. Flowers look great in it! He’s also known for a gorgeous pattern called Ultima Thule for Iittala…. a pattern that would work well with so much of what you have already (a modern juxtaposed moment for sure). Anyway, I love you guys. Been watching from the beginning, and it’s a delight watching you all grow, expand, and even fall in love ❤️ Tom

Absolutely fabulous video, mini movie, extravaganza depicting a day in the life Lalande. Love love it.

I felt like part of the family!

Made my day! Wish I was there instead of Arizona USA.

Howdy fellas! from Tucson Az.

And I who thought you would be having a fight with the cushions filled with feathers haha. Speaking of "hooks" I was thinking of the hit song from 1968 by B. J. Thomas `Hooked on a feeling`, I don´t know if you know it. And Philip´s usual punks. How nice when the baby chickens will arrive! Good luck with your spring and summer works. Plenty to do at the chateau, for sure. And thanks to make us a part of it. Est ce que le tour avec Philip comme guide en francais s´est bien passé?

I love how laid back and raw this is!! Great episode I think this is my new fav! But wear is the pillow fight? I was looking forward to it! I just can't find the words to say how much I enjoyed the realisticness of this!

The old vintage cars look cool and the laughter fun every one was having was great

It’s wonderful to see the chateau filled with very happy people again. So much going on in that huge home that cries out for life, love, laughter and la Landers. Thanks

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was written in 1806...interesting how many songs we still still after hundreds and hundreds of years later. It's also fun to learn when familiar Christmas songs that are staples were written...some in the 16th century.

Another fun vlog. What a wonderful spontaneous tour with the people in those beautiful cars. Fingers crossed that Nsncy is broody. Can’t wait to see that you filmed for British TV. Cracked up at the hook on you pun. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

Beautiful video. Everyone enjoying the fruits of your labor inside and out---gracious hosts, lovely guests, good conversations into the night ....

A chateau, cute couple, cushions, broody chickens & Rose' by the fountain. Ahhhhh ..... a heavenly life!

Philip and Stephanie you are a match made in heaven! ..both of you such beautiful people! I feel it was your destiny to be together! .😊😊..your both such kind people and it shows in every video ...stephanie your warmth is something people are drawn too and this is why Lalanda is thriving...its such a beautiful, happy place even the animals you can see absolutely love it! ..Thank you for sharing your home with us all on your videos they help my mental state so much when I get into that anxiety depression I turn to the chateau videos and it eases my anxiety and makes me smile...just thank you..❤❤😊😊

Ahhhh Stephanie!!! video is a success. Love it, love it!!! Love it!!! From beginning to end!!! Just made my day. It is pure inspiration!!! Have a blessed week!!!

Love You Guys

Did somebody say cushions 🤔😆 Lovely happy video Stephanie & Philip,thank you 💕

All those women with the hearty laughs really made me smile. I imagine them making dirty jokes at the Rosé table all day long…

Just delightful! The clematis are beautiful. Spud is such a character, has his beak in everyone s business.😊🐓 Gorgeous decanter for the rose🥰 Love Philip s t shirt!

Wonderful fun!!! Spud must be trying to tell you something. 😊🎶❤️🌸🌻💗🌺🇨🇦🇫🇷

Philip is a sweetie.

Brilliant Vlog Tonight, The Chateau is Looking Fabulous 👌🥂🥂🥂🥂

Lovely to see everyone having a lovely dinner outside in the warm evening.

The courtyard looks great! The espaliered trees look amazing. They grew so fast! Do you'll have any plans for the front entrance to make it grander from the outside? Make it stand out from the other doors and match it up to how gorgeous the courtyard looks.

What a lovely bunch of guests you had. Thanks for sharing all of the fun with us.

Watching your blog always puts me in a good mood! You all are so delightful and fun to spend time with! Merci!

Your bathroom is one of my favorite rooms in the chateau!😆

That courtyard… what a transformation! Every week I’m blown away with the growth. It’s gorgeous!

Go Grant !! In true Aussie style he's already got his shears at the ready and gettin down to work!!! The courtyard is really shaping up ... what a welcoming sight ! 💛🏰💛

Its good you have guests again. Love all the cushions. The hooks are very handy

I love the ceramic hooks. Must find these for myself.💖

HOW FUN!!! YOUR FAMILY AND THE HELPFUL FRIENDS WHO STAY THERE ARE A STAR CAST!! MAKING THE VISITORS A PART OF THE WONDERFUL LIFE AT THE CHATEAU. AND YOUR CHEF HAS MADE MANY MEALS OF ROYALTY!!!! CHEERS AND WELL DONE. WOW!!

Fun video. My mom was a messy housekeeper too. (Robes just aren't lovely hanging on the walls.) When I grew up I did the "clean as you go" method--taking an extra minute to put things away after use. It saved me tons of extra work. I keep unfinished projects in my studio. I dust and vac as needed. Makes life so easy. Best wishes..

Did anyone else notice Beethoven at 11:36 with his super fast pecking skills? 😂😂😂😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I was wondering how the restoration of the terrace went. Thanks for giving us a peek! It looks nice.

Another mood boosting vlog! Thank you Stephanie and all at Lalande for putting a smile on my face and improving my attitude!

Yes - the hens have started a clutch. They will keep laying underneath her until she has about 20 eggs. You'll need to mark the ones you want to hatch, so you can remove the ones you want to eat each day. But if they've been laying under her, she is definitely broody. Silkies make WONDERFUL mamas.

Hello from Melbourne ❤

As always a lovely vlog Stephanie. You’re not alone we have a lovely bedroom twice a week the rest of the time it gets trashed so fully understand. Love those hooks Philip bought really nice too. And as always the meals are just so yummy looking. Compliments to the Chef and Dan 👍❤️

Wonderful ♥️ I was crying seeing your guests so happy to be there, especially the two lovely friends sharing their birthday at Lalande, what a memory xx

How much fun was that! Grant makes me laugh.. so cool. Loved the Rose areas. The weather looks beautiful. Phillip the table was heaven... I to am a cushion nut, there are some lovely ones there. I do hope the there are little chics soon.

Oh that fountain is look awesome with the garden around it. I don't remember seeing that when I watch your video months ago. Lovely fountain, lovely lovely garden. What else got.

The flowers looks so lovely around the fountain…Magnificent and magical…💜🥂💜🥂💜🥂💜

Hooks are great. Pillows are lovely. I can't wait for the chicks. Blessings!!

The rolled up cushions look like fresh dough that needs a rolling pin......LOL!!

What a great vlog! So much fun and good times happen there! The parade of vintage cars was a bonus! Thank you!

When are you doing a video of Phillip’s clothes closet? That would be fun.
