Completely unrelated, but I think you'd find it as interesting as I do. I came across Knockderry Castle on Instagram (also a new yt channel) and watched every one of their IG videos today. They bought a CASTLE in Scotland last year and I have really enjoyed seeing their castle come back to life. This is the same way I stumbled upon your channel in Feb '20 and haven't missed any of your videos yet!
More chapel work and now moving the terrace stairs…..maybe you should think about, oh I don’t know, finish the heating? Finish the bathrooms? Finish the fill in the blank? Do the structure work and stop painting/wall papering/buying porcelains. How many projects do you start and leave unfinished?!
Will the kitchen become larger?
If you have weddings you will need additional parking, there are cement blocks with openings for grass so it kind of blends in rather than all stone. Also cooler
Am I the only one that thinks maybe Philip is stepping out of line with all his planning ideas. How do Nick and Michael feel about this? Lots of we! I thought Davey even looked a little uncomfortable.
Love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Stephanie I think your idea with the stairs is going to be stunning! Wishing you good thoughts – ❤
I was a pandemic planner during covid-19. I started watching your videos in our cities Emergency Operations Center. You were a little moment of respite and calm in the storm. Since then, my life is at ups and downs but you have been there with me. It has become my new goal to buy my own chateau in France and host all of my fellow public health workers. I hope to get to meet you someday, as I truly consider you all my friends.
Would be nice if someone can photoshop a mockup of the vision for the back of the chateau
Thank you so much Stephanie for your video today. Love the new plans…makes so much sense. Thank you for allowing us to come in this adventure with you.
I love your happiness! It is so real🩷So glad you have a new mattress. Hope it’s giving you both restful sleep and comfort!😘
The plans and progress are so exciting! I'm curious if when the tower is added back next to the terrace, will it extend the kitchen into the base of the tower?
I dont understand why they plan on the terrace, when now it can be use, but half of the interior of the chateau is in construction
Please consider ramps to make the Chapel and the terrace accessible (also easier for florists and caterers)
Stephanie why not run the steps the full length of the patio .
❤
Where are the millions coming from to restore unnecessary towers?
I love the dress. Is it 1000 Stars?
Is it my imagination or does the Stained Glass of the saint with long brown hair look like Natty and the one with the Green Sash look like Stefanie? Thoughts?
Thanks for another great vlog!! It is nice to finally see Nick without a bag on his head 😊
I hope Marie will be with you next year, when I return ❤😋
I did think when you go for your stroll it would bring back memories 😢 I imagine he is with you in spirit. Lots of love ❤️
Its good to hear all the new plans
It’s a one step forward one back for a while with grief waves. So hard. I don’t think u mentioned what sort of mattress u bought? There r so many different kinds. I hope it’s a good one as its so important / makes a huge difference to life x 0:16
Think you leave the terrace as it is. One it serves as an outside eating area. Two trying do build this tower could create more problems than end product. Great videos! 😊
I often feel a twinge through out the day as different aspects of my routine remind me of my cat AJ, two years on. They are part of our motion memory, part of our make up. The intensity will not always feel this strong…
The courtyard flowers are simply stunning right now!!!!!
There are days when you think I am moving on and then pow ! Reality strikes and you are heartbroken again ……hard to forget but embrace the memories Lancelot had a wonderful time at life Xxxx
Sleep well…A demain…
A dimanche
I think it's fine like it is because it tells a story. Nothing has to be perfect.
Bonjour ! For the second time, I will ask this question, hoping to get an answer" Where on the LaLande site can we find the prices of the rooms for one night so we can have an idea of the total price of a stay is – That, of course, would help to budget the vacation. It is not the first time that I am asking this question and I did not get answered. Thank you for responding to this request. (Note : my question may seems a little strange to some, but base on the travelling done all over the world, i can say that usually hotel, always indicate the prices for the stay)
Can’t wait to see the chapel fully restored it is so incredible and beautiful!! Thank you for always sharing your life adventures even if some are sad!! Blessings to you and Philip!!
Hugs from Colorado USA!!😊
Do not under estimate the time needed from the loss of a loved pet it is very tough
I wonder how much say the other owners have in the design of the Chateau. I hope they start to renovate the old wing soon.
Can you let us know how your new mattress is? It looks great and I’m thinking of buying a new one. Would love to know what you think of the Emma mattress 😀
Incredible and beautiful beyond belief . Beautiful and spiritual……… 💓
Will you be offering chateau and chapel tours soon? You are near my brother's house in S.of France and I would love to participate in some kind of Chateau de La Lande activity , fair and or tour.
I agree with Phillip! If you can, it would look glorious to add the missing feature and extend the visual line.
however you do it please keep accessibility in mind for though who cant do stairs
Davey is the expert …
I'm looking for matresses for my new house in the south of france, which brand is yours from ? looks so good!
Hi Stephanie. I have the same problem and was wondering which type of mattress you went for. ie pocket
Would be nice to have a paved courtyard in front of the Chapel.😊
Stephanie, you are an inspiration! Thank you!
How fortunate you are to have Davy’s expertise.
I highly recommend an exercise plan for back pain. Strengthening my back has made a vast improvement. After an MRI, the Dr. set up a plan with a physical therapist. I’m surprised someone hasn’t gifted you a mattress in a sponsored video. The chapel looks amazing. I kind of like the faded faces.
Curious, can you say the name of the mattress you bought? Looks comfy!
My goodness – you and Phillip are a very good match. It’s a pleasure to watch you work together. ❤
Your plans sound excellent!
You are striving to make something beautiful, asymmetrical, something that has grown with time and generations into something perfect and strict. The wonky bits, the slightly shifted parts, the odd windows are what makes this chateau feel like it’s been lived in. It wasn’t built in one go, there weren’t enough funds to start fresh, there was a fire, there were priorities. This is all shown in the randomness of today. It is what makes this place special.
Your bed looks beautiful Stef and Phil ❤❤😊
