The Chateau Diaries: MICHAEL PETHERICK AT LALANDE!!!!
The Chateau de Lalande is filled with vloggers, as Michael (of 'Doing it Ourselves') and Ryan (from 'Life of Ryan') come to visit. The chateau is awash in cameras and tripods, but normal chateau life continues with wonderful dinners, carpentry, soap making and floristry - and Mummy gets very excited about a toaster and kettle!

Michael Petherick just lights up a room! 🌞
Mummy is hysterical! “Well...I thought it would be simplistic and I would just put a slice of bread in it...” 😂😂😂 I love her great wit!
Michael, is an amazing young man. He has also changed clothes 3 times today! Clean, handsome, well groomed, intelligent, and a fabulous cook, what more could anyone ask!!

I love Isabel's sense of humor. She keeps such a deadpan straight face until the last moment when she reveals a cheeky smile.
I actually laughed “out loud” watching Isabelle showing the HUGE instruction booklet for her Toaster! Thanks for making me smile!

Manuals like that are required by law, the instructions have to be given in all the officials languages within EU. The black tabs on the side mark each language, so it is clear that the instructions are in fact only a couple pages long. The instructions will include the warranty and who to contact if assistance is needed.

Just saying, Michael looks a new man now that he's back at your Chateau! His smile looks completely different when he is there with you Stephanie. It's wonderful to see all of you enjoying BBQ night and meeting Ben, Ryan and David.
I love how the new people at Laland have the deer in headlights look when they are first on the vlog.
So much of this made me smile. Michael's "I'm down here love" and the laughter and Isabel's happiness over her toaster. And please can we just have a soundtrack of Selmar talking and laughing?

What a fun day! Little Diesel is a “show stealer” lol. He’s a cutie. LaLande was very fortunate to have Selmar join the family this year. He has made so many beautiful and lasting contributions to LaLande. I love seeing Mummy’s apartment. It is so uniquely historic and yet contemporary. And it is wonderful to see one of Stephanie’s besties ... Michael Pethrick... come “ home” to LaLande. He is an integral member of the core LaLande family. 😊. Y’all stay well !
Isabelle's using her kitchen area! I loved the design of it when Stephanie did Isabelle's room tour! Love the toaster too.
I love Selmar's winter man-bun! Good to see MP back!⚘
By the way Lady Isabel made me fall off my chair with laughter about the booklet for the toaster. Thank you, laughter is good for the soul. God bless you Lady Isabel
I have often thought it would be lovely to add some plants or large pots to the drive where Selmar's workshop is...perhaps🌼 some plant mixtures or very large pots of shrubs 🌲With Marie's florist's advice maybe something could be created...I am sorry, too many projects already on the go I am sure. love from Canada♥...& as usual Mummy's comments are priceless...she is so brilliant! xo the table setting for bbq was SO BEAUTIFUL...yummy! xoxo
Soooo glad to see you and Michael back together!!! It is just the way it should be!!!!
Selmar and Diesel are one of my favourites. Of course I haven’t seen a person there I don’t like yet. All so lovely!
I love Isabelle’s apartment. Marie’s table was perfect. Selmar and Diesel are keepers. Thank you 🌷🌼🌸🌹

Mummy looks so happy 😃
Who else feels happy just hearing the music at the beginning of each video ????
What a fun-filled episode! So enjoyable to watch. My goodness, Mummy is hilarious. The part about the toaster instructions was priceless!

WOW....Selmar love the hairdo....suits you nicely :)
I have been looking for ways I can help out around the chateau when I sign up to be a work away-er, besides helping you sew curtains, and I love to film and edit. I have been planning on coming either before or after I finish university, when ever I have the funds to do so and if this virus ever lets up. So if you need help filming and editing, I would love to help out in any way I can. What a wonderful video Stephanie, I love seeing the magic that goes on at your beautiful chateau. I am in love with those rose soaps, they are so delicate and beautiful. Definitely gonna need that mold and make some of my own.

How absolutely gorgeous! Watching your vlogs makes me feel like I'm part of your Lalande family - what a happy sight you all are!
Your mother has a wonderful sense of humor. :) Loved her take on the toaster manual.
That was a joyful vlog! Thank you. And Mummy is just darling 🥰
I love you all! Selma you look fantastic!
Mummy & her lovely new toaster & microwave. Beautiful food! Michael P is such a delight. Stephanie so happy, joyful & grateful to all of your houseguests & friends. Hope you & Michael do some filming together or travel together somewhere lovely, oh & you & Oliver. Love to all the lovely people at La Lande ❤️❤️❤️
The hipster look really suits you Selmar😊 Love Isabelle's kitchen it's so elegant and contemporary at the same time and that smeg is spot on. Love to all at Lalande❤
Lovely to see Michael back. Gaby's soaps look so pretty . They would make a wonderful addition to the guest bathrooms. Marie's flowers are wonderful. Nattie's robe is beautiful. Good luck to your Mom, with reading the toast manual. Selmar looking good! Not sure if I am ready for fall.😣 Thank you, Stephanie and all at La Lande for a fantastic end to my day🤗 .
Fun video, love Selmar's hair up in his man bun. Blessings.
I love mummy's kitchen so so much! 😍💕 I love how everything matches! Stunning!
Stephanie, your Mommie is absolutely precious!🤗♥️
I always thought Mummy's kitchen was a wasted space because she was always with you, but now, I am so happy she has it so you can still visit, she can look out her window, tend her garden, but still be safe
I love the table marie
I always love it when Michael and Stephanie are together.
Loving Hipster Selmar!
The copper touches in Mummy’s kitchen have inspired me! Thank you for sharing! 💐
The fellow from Belgium is doing a great job on the shutters! It would be great if he planned to undertake more! 😊 How long does mummy have to stay isolated in her apartment-she will certainly miss her garden and times with Dan and Selmar. The bow ties looked great on Selmar and his gorgeous puppy!
There is nothing like having Michael at LaLande! It is always great there, but he makes it even more special. Love Selmar’s hipster look...it really suits him and the tie kicks it up a notch! Marie and Michael outdid themselves on the Barbecue and Mummy’s end of summer garden looks even better than earlier in the season!
Selmar and his "Man Bun" ....... must be autumn coming on !!!
Oh my Selmar .. loving the 'winter look' . Fantastic vlog as always Stephanie. ❤
Hello Lalanders! As usual a super refreshing vlog starting with the soap making. Hola Gaby, yo soy de Venezuela, un gran saludo Stephanie, my daughter is in a program that combines business and digital art and would be happy to come and help you with filming and editing (she has already some experience on that). She would like to come to Lalande.
Another wonderful vlog with the Lalande favourites reunited. Stephanie & Michael made for each other besties. Dana who adds such oomph when she visits. Her smile is so infectious. Selmar the suave gentleman, oooh la la.! Maman whom we all love dearly. My gosh it looks like we need a degree to operate a toaster. I tend to file away the instructions & operate a gadget as I know how. It’s only when something goes wrong that my husband then yells “WHY DID’NT YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS?” 🤣
I love seeing Micheal!

Selmar looks very handsome in winter mode, not that he wasn’t in summer mode, but now you can see his face better. And I always love when Michael comes to visit. He adds just another layer of fun to an already fun group of people.
i have noticed a remarkable improvement in michael's on camera presence the last two times i have watched him. he is much more relaxed, at ease, and there is a real and thinking talent behind that nice smile. gone is the nervous energy, the apparent search for something to discuss easily, and there is a very interesting side of him regarding his obvious culinary abilities. one can easily see that he enjoys this particular side of his life. bravo. he is a good looking guy, who comes across as very sincere, and perhaps he has found a new love. i really don't know if his profession is split between that of a coiffeur or that of a chef. at any rate, i wish him well, and i look forward to his future endeavors. of course, i realize that he has a great work ethic, and an obvious place in restorative arts, preservation, fashion, and social media. again, keep it up, as you strive to make your surroundings bigger and better. upward and onward!
