I would love to see Ruby cuddled, stroked and loved like Lancelot is. I have cats and they love the scratches and tickles as well.

He belongs to a neighbour, apparently. Plus, Steph is allergic to cats.
marie uses her new counter every day. A great kitchen addition..
Well done Grant for helping out in the chateau hope your daughter is enjoying her time there !
For the cement removal with hammer drill, start on top so you can work downwards as much as possible. Have missed seeing Nati.
I don't think Marie knows how beautiful she really is. She seems to be embarrassed by compliments. She is truly beautiful inside and out!
Those strawberry shoes are gorgeous! 💝 I love them! So feminine and elegant. And those lamps... Oh my dear, they are lovely. You have such a taste! Bravo.
The Strawberry slingbacks are sensational! Bally deserves credit for spotting this masrketing op. Stephanie will be Bally's best sales ambassador ever.
Grant is just a bulldozer!!! That seriously is hard work getting that layer off of the hallway. 👍🏻👏 And he cooks too!!! 😉

I have found, any time you want to do a repair or renovation, the second you start revealing the bones of a structure, there's always more to it than you bargain for. Hope for the best, but expect the worst 🤞 😊 lucky for you, you have a great team of people there.
The gardens are looking so amazing..... Those strawberry shoes are everything..... Whow.
The LaLande kitchen corridor is like our guest room - everything gets dumped in there with a ‘I’ll sort that out later…’ and every few months, I’m wading through a ‘how on earth? What the….?’ pile of laundry, items for donating etc 😂🤣

Dinners at LaLande always makes me chuckle. 😃 The complete breakdown of each dish Is what I find humorous. Bless the cooks for their patience. I just holler "the foods done" and it's every man, woman, child & dog for themselves. 😂 After all the standing to prepare everything, I'm grabbing my plate and going to sit! Everyone is can figure it out on their own. If they don't like it, they can make themselves a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Ohhh. And someone else gets cleanup duty. But I also don't live in a chateau with paying guests. 😂😂😂😂

@@toddmurphy523 I had told them a few videos back that I had a police officer warn me about the airbags and my Pomeranian being in the front with me and now I see that they keep him in the back, that’s what I was referencing.

You seem to have quite a lot of dodgy electrics there. It’s really the sort of thing that should be checked whenever it shows up.
The flower beds could use wood mulch to prevent weeds and moisture control . The plants are really growing to amazing heights.

I just love the look (and practicality) of the wooden bench top.
Grant is amazing! And so resourceful! ✨🇦🇺
Those lamp things that hold the shade are called "harps." Great vid as usual. Love the shoes, love the lamps.
I always worry about excessive vibration on structures. Good luck with 5he cement removal from the wall.
I have to say, Grant in the floral apron stole the show!!❤❤❤
And, again, I just think you need to swap chandeliers, Music room/Dining room 😊 And, off course, bring back the grandfather clock from "retirement". I know, its perhaps more a prop, than anything right now... BUT it does have the right look, and you could really do with some more clocks around the Chateau 😊
It’s so lovely feeling this extra connection with the Chateaux, thru Grant, our lad from Warrnambool, from a lady originally from Cooriemungle (nr Port Campbell). Then Camperdown. Now WA. Thanks for doing us Aussies proud, Grant. 😊

@@allymayful Hello, I'm from Victoria. The Ship, it was the clipper called The Lightening. It was one of the fastest tall ships that made record time between England and Australia. It brought out our ancestors in 1852. So the ship would bring immigrants/settlers/gold prospectors to Australia and haul back gold from the Victorian goldfields. It made many trips between England and Australia, but sunk at Port Campbell - I forgot what year. Crashed into some rocks.

The Bally shoes are amazing! You are blessed.
The lamps look just magnificent in the dining room next to the parrot lamps!!!
Beautiful blue skies, those artist found the best place🕊️🤍

It’s wonderful that your fixing the back corridor walls. Once they can breathe it will help so much. The shoes are adorable, I wouldn’t take them off either. The lampshades go with the lamps so well, and they are perfect in the dining room. Lancelot making sure he marked everything lol and Ruby missed him, so sweet ❤️
Sniffing vegetables because that's what you do in the South of France. That gave me a belly laugh.
Oh France 🇫🇷 is such a beautiful country and the music fitted beautifully ❤. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your life with us. You give me the travel 🐛 bug 😂. "Ton petit appartement"is so cute I'm definitely looking to visit that region. Sending ❤ Rosie O x 🏴
Marie's cooking is very impressive.
It feels like spring and summer with all the colors and life in the garden and house. Great energy.
Love the shoes. Have a great weekend
The Shoes were a wonderful surprise!!❤
The strawberry shoes are delicious, as is the whole vlog! The lamps the food , table the ride home. So much work for Grant, bless him.
The colour of the lamp shades were so good with the chair colours. I like very those Bally shoes.
Marie.. your dinner looks absolutely delicious, Philip the table.. you’ve outdid yourself.. thanks again Stephanie for sharing and bringing us to the party❤ Love the shoes❤
Wow! The lamps are beautiful!
Marie works so very hard and does a wonderful job. She needs an assistant!!
What a dream...to stay at Lalande.. One day... And the shoes, fabulous ! ❤
Also, those lampshades with the new lamps are absolutely delicious and look amazing with the wonderful new dining chairs.
I used to buy Bally shoes, they are so comfortable and most rare these days do half sizes. The only other company i know is Van Daal. The lamps look great but if you put them in the Grand Salon, maybe that lovely French Blue. I would love to visit you one day.❤
I love the lamps, and the shoes! What a sweet gesture, although I know it comes down to publicity, it feels like someone genuinely wanted to make you happy 😍🍓You look lovely in them 👠🙏❤️

Those strawberry shoes look made for dancing ...every year my daughter used to have a ballet recital (one of many) called "The Strawberry Festival" in Minneapolis, MN. at 'Aveda', the natural hair and skin care company, run by an Austrian guy named Horst Rechelbacher who collaborated with Loyce Houlton, ballet choreographer ...it was an old Masonic temple and had a gorgeous 5th-floor ballroom done in the Egyptian style & we had Strawberry Shortcake after the year-end recital.
It is so lovely to see Marie happy, confident, and settled. The food she is producing for the guests looks amazing! I think she has found where she needs to be, and doing what she is so good at. Well done Marie!
Those shoes are just fabulous Stephanie how lucky are you.The south of France looked absolutely lovely and the perfect little flat to.Have an amazing week everyone xx❤

Love the shades!
Always worth watching. Stephanie your father's art in the rooms are always a standout. You can travel to the south of France but coming home and seeing these works on the walls are so rewarding. I love your father's work. If you had an exhibition of his work I think I would travel from Newcastle, Australia to see them.
So good to see the sunshine at Lalande and the garden bursting with life and colour. The lampshades are a perfect match for those beautiful lamps and belong in the dining room. Phillip's table setting was just stunning once again. I must say Grant does look good in an apron.😁👨🍳
