The Chateau Diaries: HALLOWEEN AT THE CHATEAU!!!
It's a very busy week at the chateau as Mummy finally leaves Lalande to fly to South Africa to be reunited with Percy ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
It's so strange to be parted from her but I'm lucky to live with the loveliest bunch of people who distracted me wonderfully with an epic Halloween party. We celebrated it early (I'm a week ahead with filming the Chateau Diaries) because some lovely friends of mine were visiting, which proved very lucky as we went into lockdown three days ago and would have been unable to host it on the night itself!
The Chateau Diaries Episode 173 ✨🏰✨
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
This channel follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️
We share our life in this ancient chateau in the heart of the French countryside, and show you the diy, renovations, crafts, cooking and gardening that are needed to bring a home like this to life!
A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 500 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only out lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

Everyone's costume was perfect. Everyone at LaLande is so attractive. I don't quite know how Stephanie manages to find them all. Perhaps they are drawn to her beauty .I almost cried when Isabelle left, but I know she will be in excellent hands once she reaches Percy in So Africa. Much to my own amazement, all these people have become so dear to me and I only know them from The Chateau Diaries!

Aww. I got a lump in my throat and misty watching Isabelle leave. I completely understand the concerns in the midst of the present world situation... I’m 100% in agreement with Stephanie on the upholstery. Philip is doing a good job but the fabric is perfect. As a professional upholsterer myself, I’d say Stephanie has an eye for what a piece needs

So happy for Isabelle to get to see Percy but we will greatly miss both of them on the Channel!
So fun . So sad to see Isobel upset leaving her baby girl . I'd be sick leaving her go to Stephanie . I hope herself and Percy will keep themselves super safe now with covid . A super party . Every one made such and effort . Foxie Robin Hood was hilarious as ever . That chef really seemed to take a liking to our Kat . Philip is doing Fab on the couch . All the lady's were stunning and the men at lalande are great to join in the dress up fun . Looks like a Happy halloween was had by all .
What a roller coaster of emotions, from tears at Isabelle and Stephanie’s goodbye (although I am thrilled she is reunited with Percy) to snort laughing at all the funny comments during the party. Thank all of you wonder FULL La Landers for being such a great distraction during a very stressful evening here in Tennessee.
Light hearted relief from this Lock down, sunshine on the way .
The over the top costumes in the kitchen figuring out the dry ice is what I want my life to be!
The flirting ‘Dutch friend’ is gorgeous 😍 I didn’t catch his name I couldn’t take my eyes off him
I love that women are running things at the chateau, I bet it’s never been a more joyful place than at this moment in time. Just lovely.
Oh my, this totally wiped away my awful mood. ( I couldn't figure out why my face hurt... Everything was scrunched , and pointing down ). For us in the USA, is Election Day. 😷🧐🙄🤐. Our country may be on the brink of who knows what, ....??? This video.had crying to see mummy going home to Purcy, laughing, smiling,( muscles in my face realigning to a better place & a lighter heart ). Thank you, I needed this.💕 ...PS, Glad to see Steve back w/ his beautiful wife and your old friend as well as the whole gang. Looks to be the perfect sort of lockdown 🙄 oh if you must . .... Don't fret about us mere mortals, ...we'll just tune in on Thursday, 🤗 Again, thank you. Lv, Philly PA

Why am I crying seeing Isabelle leaving?? I can't help it. Yes, yes, I know this was filmed over a year ago, but this moment, captured in film, is deeply moving. In fact, I SHOULD be teary-eyed, it's only proper.

I think that Philip, in his costume, looks more like “ The Highwayman. “
All the costumes looked amazing, and their own Musketeer, with Philip.
“I mean, look at me! How could he not?” 🙌😉
"Did you two swap hair?!" 😂😂😂😂😂
So happy for Isabelle to be with Percy again!! I empathize though with your feelings Stephanie with her going. The sofa is looking incredible. Excited to see it all finished. Parties there are epic fun!! Love it!! Thank you for the escape as we enjoy seeing what you all are upto.

I can't believe Philip fits into all of Stephanie's clothes, so funny! And I loved when he was talking about the women indirectly "hinting" to get people to do things, hilarious and true. The Ladies of La Lande looked magnificent in their costumes. Natalia looked like a totally different person in that wig. And Marie should dress as Gretel all the time, or at the very least she should always wear a flower crown! Thank You La Landers for making Halloween bearable in this terrible year :)

Philip is learning very important lessons concerning "girl speak". It will come in very handy one day. HA! This made me chuckle🤗

Probably my favourite episode ever. Can't stop laughing. Three Princesses faffing around with dry ice in the kitchen. Killed me.
Even on the darkest days you and your team make me smile. Thank you! With love from Vienna
Dana makes a fabulous Jasmine.
The sofa looks perfect, i like that material best, its the most elegant.
I can't express just how much watching all of you has touched my soul. You fill my heart with joy and especially, laughter. Laughter is so important for the psyche. It creates healthy endorphins in the brain and my brain needs all of the endorphins it can get. And you deliver. All my love and appreciation from Austin Texas

I caught a tear in my eye watching your mother say goodbye to you because I have a similar relationship with my mother and my grandmother and we are so very close we get the same way. My grandmother is from England and I was brought up living with her and my mother and we always drank tea together and I find a lot of similarities. Watching your vlogs makes me think of her I lost her a year ago and I don’t know it just makes me feel good so thank you💛

It was very hard for me to see mother and daughter separated. I lost my 29 year old daughter in July of this year due to covid. I really enjoy seeing Stephanie and Mummy interact.
