Dearest Stephanie, my spouse has Alzheimer’s. When you left home you showed countryside scenery. It was very pretty, which always attracts Donnie’s attention. I said, pretty huh? Donnie pointed at the beautiful scenery and smiled and laughed and loved it. He’s gotten out of his chair and CB is now standing in front of the big flat screen TV point at the stained glass windows in your video. Tears are streaming down my face with gladness. So, if you ever, ever, think you don’t make much of a difference, put that right out of your mind right now! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you for taking us all to the beautiful medieval French town!

Please don't ever stop giving the weather reports. It is so endearing and makes us feel like we are waking up at Lalande with you!! And no matter the weather, you always have a positive spin! I just love it. What a lovey town-hope you can go back soon :)

You are a superb storyteller, Steph. The weather reports help place us in France with you, so please don't feel you have to stop them. Delighted the work on the Chapel is progressing. Your reminder of how much of France's church paintings have been lost over time added more relevance to the Chapel's restoration. I could suddenly see the Chapel's historic, cultural, and artistic importance more clearly. Hope the auction of that beautiful painting goes well. Now, in a complete change of subject, if I was a pilot or travelled frequently, I would definitely invest in that luggage. The peace of mind its construction offers would be well worth it. Love seeing the Garden Crew. Kirsty, Pavlina, and Ombeline have helped transform the Chateau. The abundance of flowers and vegetables is wonderful! Loved Ombeline's delight in the hay. She is so knowledgeable. Stay safe and go gentle. Best to all.

Nooo Stephanie! I need the weather forecast every video! It sets the scene for the video perfectly! 😂😂

You've been saving the chapel since you first put the new roof on. What a great legacy. This and the restoration of the chateau the lake the gardens and the community of people involved in all ways, are something of which you should be very proud.

Oh my word, who wouldn't want one of her gorgeous paintings. What a beautiful treasure. What a beautiful life.

I think talking about the weather is pretty common worldwide. Who doesn't look out a window soon after waking to see what the weather is like? Don't let one comment control what the majority think is normal.

So glad the Chapel restoration will begin soon.

Please do not stop your weather forecasts. It helps to inspire the senses to imagine yourself at the chateau walking around with you smelling the grass that's wet or not or the rain whether it's coming or going. As a person with vision loss your descriptions help me to imagine your beautiful lalonde.

I do so love hearing your weather reports. It's so wonderful the chapel is getting started on restoration. Your so amazing with everything you do. Thank You Miss Stephanie and Lalanders for sharing your lives with us.

I always love the weather report because then we know what the atmosphere is like for each video.

I had to chuckle when you said you had missed your calling. You are a modern-day chatelaine and it suits you to a tee. And running a chateau is somewhat dependent on the weather. So, don't quit giving us the weather report, please. I love all aspects of the chateau and it's marvelous inhabitants.

Please don’t stop your weather reports, it’s an integral part of the day. I love how your day starts in your room and looking across the beautiful grounds.

I’m very happy to hear the good news about the chapel.

Stephanie, a baby fox is called a kit. The painting is splendid. Maybe the local television or radio station might let you be a guest weather person. lol

@thoml1846- A lot of people have commented on Stephany's reference of the fox 'cub' and corrected her on it, but if you ask "Google" to define what a baby fox is called, it actually says: "A 'Kit' or 'CUB' " (in addition to some other titles.) So she was correct with what she said, although 'kit' is more often used. Remember too, that she is from England where foxes are quite common, so she most likely already knows that they are called kits. 😅 (Not dissing you or anyone else, please don't take offense at my comment 😢)

i Love Guerande Salt! I never knew it was from a medieval city! I love that you notice the weather Stephanie. It just shows that you are grounded and notice where you are and what is happening around you in nature. Keep doing it! :)

Stephanie, I am quite literally sitting here with tears of joy I am so happy about the news of the chapel restoration. Thank you so much for being dedicated to that project. God bless you. 🧡

Stephanie, please continue your opening weather observations because it sets the scene for the day ahead. As always a superb video! The Fox’s Den is a beautiful painting! So happy you’re able to begin the very necessary works on the chapel 😃 🌻🥰🙅‍♀️

Fox babies are called kits. That is one beautiful paintings. So glad the work can be started.

Pavlina in the black dress: wow!! Even more stunning than in her wellies cleaning the fountain!

I'm so happy to be a patron and have a very small part of restoring this amazing chapel, chateau and lake. You must be so proud of the legacy that you will one day leave for future owners.

After the year you have had, it must feel wonderful to see life getting back on track again. So pleased for you all.

This is wonderful news about the chapel.....I am so happy that the repairs are getting started and the painting will be saved. Very happy for you Stephanie!!! So nice that you are able to pass your clothes off to the girls....they look beautiful.

Oh! I am SO glad to hear that you are able to save the Chapel, it's such an integral part of the Château and the restoration of it is needed. you're doing incredible work. Keep it up!

Hello Stéphanie! I am rejoicing like you to see the important vault from the chapel structural safe and painting. I am so happy that we can have the painting of St. Joseph Father, Jacob, restored !

...I like your weather forecast.....🥺....don't stop...😁👍

Please continue to report the weather, most everyone truly enjoys the inviting sense it brings of the bucolic French countryside and we love that. I would like to have my own Chateau and I would also like to visit La Lande and you must consider how advertising the beauty of the Chateaux atmosphere will bring more guests!❤❤❤

The piano music played during the car trip was absolutely beautiful....!

Is there one of your fathers paintings you could bear to part with to auction for the fund raising for the Chapel, I imagine he would forgive you and support you to help to save the Chapel. I suggest this with respect I know it would be a huge wrench to part with even just one ❤

Most people look out the window and at the forecast first thing to see how to dress and go about their day. Please continue. Also your courtyard looks more spectacular every new video. What a sight to wake up to.

I don't mind the weather reports at all. Keep it up. I am so happy to hear the good news regarding the chapel. Marie and Pavlina, you both looked beautiful in those dresses. I hope we get to see some of the patreon days celebrations. Those mussels and ice cream looked to die for. It would be lovely to meet Phillip's parents. That suitcase looked like a game changer.

We LOVE the weather updates!!! so excited about the chapel restoration!!! 💕

What a wonderful adventure, church was beautiful.

I love thé forecasts.we are in australia with parents in France so it keeps us connected. 😉

I’ve always assumed, and I hope correctly, that you are opening the window, shortly after arising and checking the days weather and reviewing the day's tasks. I’ve always loved that “opening” to your vlog-it’s so YOU !!! And, more importantly, I get to join in-no matter the weather, here or there! ❤️☀️💧🌂❄️💨🍃❤️

That is a beautiful painting

A baby fox is also known as a Kit! What an amazing gift and wonderful way of honoring her memory!

Our very dearest Stephanie…..please keep up the weather ‘forecast’ at the start of each vlog!

Stephanie your umbrella was incredibly beautiful. The church's stain glass windows were stunning.

Pavlina is such a bright smiling ray of sunshine

What a wonderful town! You should definitely go with Ollie for the travel channel. 🦋 Marie and Pavlina look great in the dresses. 🦋 Enjoyable video! 🦋

Giving a weather report is great, I like to know. 💖

I love the weather forecast! ... AND, I'm always so glad that you show us the fountain, because I love following the growth of your garden you've planted around it, started with the garden design your were gifted. I love your openings, as your open your window and reveal the day. This is one of my favorite rhymes you have to you're videos. ❤️

Pavlina and Marie look stunning in those dresses. The fox painting is really beautiful and adorable, so very kind of him to gift that. Amazing that their story parallels yours, it is so intriguing. Steph you are an amazing storyteller, and you and Phillip produce some of the best videos on youtube. Thank you.

The chapel looks like those beautiful miniatures you use in Christmas villages.

Great news about the chapel.

I love your eloquent weather reports! They are such a nice start to watching your weekly slice of life. If you don’t mind please keep them coming ☺️❤️

well...im with waking up to a weather forecast...im on the other side of the world and its just lovely to see all that is happening...and for the chapel...i do believe buildings and homes and fields know when they are loved...and they are blooming for their chatelaine...tino pai! all the way from aotearoa(nz)

It’s been such a miserable wet summer, apparently Preston, Lancashire where I live had 285% of the years rain in the month of July 😵🤦‍♀️🥴

It's so nice to hear the old intro music in the last few videos. Brings back wonderful memories.

The think about a round hay bale is that it needs to not sit how the farmer left it. I needs to be turned on its side so that when it rains, the water will run off of it instead of soaking into it, which is the whole point. Otherwise it will rot. Maybe either cover it up or turn it on its side. Yay on the chapel!

I cant wait to see this next project, there is never a dull moment, but as always glad to see you back...❤❤❤

A weather forecast first thing in the morning is normal here on our farm. I guess growing up with am forecasts I just assumed everyone talks about the weather before morning tea/coffee

Wonderful News!!! ❤❤❤❤

I’ve always enjoyed to have you mention the weather. So happy that the Chapel can be restored.

So happy that they will be starting the Chapel. ❤

The weather is always relevant to your Chateau Diaries. So much love to you & all the Lalanders.♥️🇫🇷

Congratulations ❣️ 🎊 I am so excited that the restoration is going to happen 😄

Stephanie, I love your dress. It's beautiful blue.

There was a series on tiktok a while ago of a woman transcribing (I believe) an early 1900s diary. Everyday the writer would share the weather forecast and it was just so precious. Please never stop the weather forecast.

I like the weather forecast from your part of the world.

I was caught totally off-guard that the statue of Joseph holding baby Jesus brought a tear to my eye. I am a Christian, but not Catholic. I guess I never thought of Joseph as a caring father figure to Jesus before. Most endearing! Very happy for you that restoration of the chapel can begin! ⛪I wondered why you would wait until December-ish to begin fundraising when folks would be spending their extra cash on Christmas shopping. But on the other hand, it is the "season of giving" so a horse a piece.

When you said you were meeting Phillip's parents at "a church" I thought you meant a chapel. That's not a church, thats a magnificent work of art.

I love your intros, Stephanie, and I love how your videos launch right into the story for the day. It might be just me, but I really don't enjoy long lead in's, with abstract close up's on KZread channels, yours is perfectly engineered to grab the viewer ❤👏👏

What a lovely adventure, this chapel restoration. Do keep the weather report as it is lovely! I would think straw would be preferable to hay for compost layering. Less seeds to make weeds but who knows!

The most expensive suit case in their line. I hope Phillip or someone else @ LaLande gets one too! OR as a charity auction item. 😮

I love the weather updates, please continue with them. Every detail you share with all of us, it connects us more with you all there.

Well done Stephanie on all counts. You have inspired us to go to Guérande soon. Keep up the weather reports as it changes all the time it's funny be we too always seem to start our Pilates classes on Zoom with the weather news from all parts of the world. The Chapel restorations sound fantastic, you are one lucky lady. Bon w/e, Swan

I like the forcasts! I like to know how the temperature compares to where I am (Florida in the US) lol

Glad for your good news about the chapel. How wonderful. The letter accompanying the fabulous fox painting is poignantly beautiful. Made tears flow. What a lovely person.

Loved Marie in that dress, I am so pleased she is back at the Chateau, it really saddened me when she got a bit lost after leaving. I know you will take care of her and I would love to see just you two go off on a girls mini break, remember when you went to the tree house and the trip to Aubusson. Xx

I enjoy your weather report. You’re always sunny and bright even in the gloomiest of rainy days. I’m excited for your plans and can’t wait to watch the Chapel be restored to it’s obvious former grandeur. On another note, where is Amaury? I haven’t seen him in ages, or at least since his parents were here last. Miss seeing him daily and hope he’s okay. Sending much love and positive vibes from Montana, USA. ✨💖✨
