THE CHATEAU DIARIES: OPERA AND LAUGHTER!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Lalande is filled with Glyndebourne dreaming, as we plan to show 'The Marriage of Figaro' on the terrace, with the audience enjoying picnics on the lawn below. Meanwhile, Michael helps around the chateau, putting up paintings and making a bbq, and Scotman gives us an update!
The Chateau Diaries Episode 131 ✨🏰✨
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 show you what life is like in an ancient chateau in the heart of the French lockdown, and the creative crafts and activities that we’re turning to, to make the most of this period of enforced relaxation.
A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. As you can imagine, your help means more to me now than ever. Because of you, I'll be able to keep living at Lalande and making videos even without our chambres d'hotes income during lockdown! I’ve been overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

    Why does classical opera singing seem like the most appropriate talent for a French chateau owner

    I actually cried when Mummy got that china because I think it’s the same pattern as the ones on the table when the windstorm blew open the window and broke some of her pieces. She said she had those pieces a long time and she looked so sad and it broke my heart! (The LIttle Teacup That Lived #111) So sweet, whoever sent those pieces to her - gave me great joy, obviously, because I cried! Haha! :)

Everyone should have a Gerry in their life. I have a son-in law who is Scottish from Edinburgh & he is the most wonderful positive thing in our lives. They do breed them well in Scotland. Love to all at Lalande. ❤️

    This vlog gave me so many giggles & smiles, and that truely means the world to me. Thank you all. I get so engrossed in the moments being shared that I feel like I'm actually there with you. At one point I even found myself leaning forward to peak in the box as Antoine was opening it 🤣🙈 Wonderful to hear your beautiful singing again Stephanie and the little snippet of Michael playing the piano. I too could listen to that all day. I am glad Isabelle liked my gift, she truely is an absolute joy. The opening of gifts is so much more than just an unboxing. The happiness shown by all of you when receiving your gifts spreads to all of us who are watching, and a widespread feeling of joy is an amazing thing to witness and to be a part of. You provide the positivity and kindness that the world always needs more of. It must be such a baffling yet amazing and humbling experience to see how your vlogs evolved from being an insight into chateau life to something that has helped thousands of people worldwide to maintain a positive attitude and good mental health through some of the scariest times. LaLanders just being themselves and enjoying life at home blissfully unaware that they are the light in the darkness for many all around the globe. 💛💛

    When we moved to our current home 7 years ago, there were two huge but rather ugly chandeliers. We took them down and replaced them. Then 4 years ago, we found a bag behind the furnace full of replacement drops for them! We used them that year on a tree -- about 4 feet tall, sits on top of a table, and is covered in twinkly lights and chandelier bobs. It's beautiful.

    Stephanie, for the first time in my life I have a true desire to watch an opera, but only the one at your chateaux. Your voice, the setting and the magical resonance was breath taking! What a night that will be! Please film it, even a snippet if allowable. Thank you for the love and joy yoy bring. Never stop being you! I love you all!

The gift opening is always a treat. Isabelle runs so well! Like a young woman!!! We need some closeups of the china that made you so happy! Thanks for the entertainment. Hope Antoine finds his rabbit!

    Jo Brocket I buy my pillows and comforters from Hungarian goose down and wait for their sales which are four times yearly. They are cheaper than in the US, and they have been making goose down sustainably for over 200 years. And they treat their flock well. Quality is exceptional.

    I came across the delightful channel of Jeri Landers of Hopalong Hallow. I think both of you would enjoy it but especially Michael as she is a water color artist, and children’s book author. She also felts lifelike woodland creatures but above all she is absolutely enchanted with Beatrix Potter and has many books by and about her. She always serves tea in each episode and she always cooks, several times from the Beatrix Potter, Country Cookery cook book. She also has a website where she sells prints of her water colors and the lovely felted animals. I hope this suggestion might spark some ideas for the two of you. Stephanie pleas bring us more of your informative segments like the Toile vlog you did yesterday.
