It’s dangerous to put that big woodblock into such a small oven😮 The enamel can be destroyed if you fire so hard. Oven plates can twist, causing the oven to crack, which in turn causes the oven to have an uncontrolled air supply. Never fill the combustion chamber more than two-thirds full. Chimneys bursting and flames engulfing the house🙈It is then important to fire within what the fireplace or stove is designed for. Just a rants from a Norwegian with lots of experience with wood burning 😅

What's rude about giving sensible advice from an experienced Norwegian? It could prevent a catastrophic fire.

I love that Phillip is not only unafraid but proud to be of a romantic heart.

I really have to make a comment about the large piece of wood Phillip put in the stove. If the stove gets too hot it can crack the internal heat bricks but worst of all if too much heat comes out of the stove, it can cause damages to surrounding areas ie; fire surrounds even causing plaster to detache from the ceiling I know from experience. I do feel the most beautiful teapot and very expensive shouldn't be put on top of the stove, once cracked it is beyond repair. I also think the heat could damage the back of the chairs. I don't like making negative comments but I'm really worried you will have damages. I left my stove open full and forgot it. Hence the ceiling cracking and falling.

Yes!!!😬

My first quick comment: Be very very careful about overloading the firebox of your log burners. Consequences can be serious including damage to the venting system or the firebox itself. Remember, only you can prevent unnecessary chatastrophies.

Log splitter? I think that Yulesized log was a mistake.🦔🦔🦔🔥🔥🔥

🖐🏼Nope, I didn't know about the ottor having a pouch for their favourite rock. How utterly adorable. As are those hedgehogs! Awww. Such heart-warming gifts and literally warming with you rnew duvet!!! Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand who also has a large log on the fire 🔥

My partner and I also call each other my otter half, and have for years. There are videos of the otters floating around holding hands. =)

yes first time i heard about an otter storing a rock under his "arm" and i watch all the time, i must of missed it before 🤣🤣

Please have someone SPLIT the logs before putting them into such a small place!

Stephanie ( Nati) I hope you are archiving all of these wonderful letters. Imagine how new discoverers of Lalande will relish them in 200 years time!

. . .and Dan the Man! (The gloves!)

Decant the salts into wee pouch bags with ribbon for the guests, that way its a treat for them NOT from a half used jar !! No one would use that much for a short stay anyway !! And it would be just the right amount for a guest stay. Xx

I binge watched all your past vlogs during the quarantine, and I am now a faithful viewer, thank you, but I had never heard Phillip talk of the behavior of otters before today! I did know they hold hands while they sleep and rest afloat in the water so as not to drift apart, but I did not know whey have an underarm pouch in which they store a rock! I love that Phillip says they store "their favorite rocks" in these pouches, though I think they place rocks in these pouches as a way to counter their buoyancy. Maybe both perspectives are true, the rocks provide weight and make them less buoyant/floaty and they become attached to the rock which is the right weight for them!

The logs. Trying to put a gallon in a pint pot comes to mind. 😂

I think the gifts for the men were very specific who they go to. If you read it carefully.

Putting on logs that big could cause fires where you don't want them

The chemistry between you3 (all the Lalanders!) are wonderful. ♥️🇿🇦

Some homes here in the US put a cast iron pot on top of burner with water in it for added humidity!

Beautiful gifts as always ! Pls next time show us your new beddings 😍 Hugs to everyone

Why not just chop the wood in 2 or 3 smaller pieces? Or at least have someone do the chopping.

I know it sounds silly but I find a joyful when Stephanie calls out the State that the gift comes from. Am I the only one? Lol

Ok at around 21:14 minutes when Phillip opened the otter socks, I fully expected a pun from him such as “they were “ otterly adorable”. 🤣. This was a fun vlog. Thank you !

Muy Feliz Cumplí Nattie. What a joyful video, the Snowman cards are priceless. Thanks so much for always having such delightful moments and fun.

I'd love to see that duvet! As always, fun time and lovely gifts! I never miss one🤩

FYI there are jackets with battery operated heaters inside the coats. Originally developed for ski coaches standing on hills all day in the cold. Cheers from Toronto

Beautiful Gifts. Everyone Is So Kind Stephanie. Philip Nati. Love To You All. Xx 😘😊

Reading the title, I thought for sure you were gifted an electric blanket. I was wrong, but is luxurious to get into a warm, cozy bed in the winter - just as luxe as the beautiful bedding you received! ☃And I LOVED the snowmen cards! I have a heart for snowmen being from MinneSNOWta, USA. ⛄

Always a delight to share in your joy at receiving gifts, and the generous people who have sent them.

How exciting to hear about Michigan and Shipshewanna on the vlog today. Though I am from PA now, I’m originally from Michigan!

I loved the necklace. Heat by fire is always the warmest.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁

Great vlog! Thanks Stephanie, Phillip and Nattie

Phillip, I had never heard of the fact that otters hold hands while they are asleep so they do not drift apart, and I would like to hear about the pouch under their arms? Is that how they hold on to each other? The information was lost in the babble of voices at that point, but I can just imagine these darling animals sleeping holding on to each other in some way. Darling! Thank you for loving animals so much - we need increasing numbers of people that love them, rather than those that don't. Love you.

Wow the gifts today are really nice. Stephanie, I think maybe the zipper pouch might be for putting in the warmers for the hand. Also happy birthday Natalie, happy valentine and then looking forward to Easter. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite 💜💕😊

I live in Michigan also and we love going to Shipshewana Indiana. If you get a chance Google it. Such a cute little town and fun to see all the Amish riding around in their horse and buggies. Lots of craft and specialty shops.

What beautiful gifts again today. Stephanie, I had a little giggle when you said you had a rather thin feather duvet that is not quite warm enough for winter - I have the opposite problem of having a feather duvet that is too warm for our climate, so I said (to the TV) ‘Let’s swap’!!😅🥰

In Canada we can buy little cast iron fans that sit on the wood burner and the heat turns the fan blade and it helps move the heat into the room. And they are very quiet

I learned over the years, everyone should have 2 duvets, with different weights of filling, for winter & spring. Enjoy the warmer winter weight....

How sweet all the gifts , I have some but because of disability pension I'm saving to send from Australia , something Vintage for Stephenie, x 😊

Those scrubs look great... I couldn't help but notice, though. The jars they came in were jam canning jars. They cost around £30 for x6, so once used wash them out and reuse them for future jam projects, being glass, they won't hold on to smells once washed. Xx
