OK so Ollie has really brighten up since getting to the Chateau...been very therapeutic for him ❤

Yeah getting out of a fake marriage will help improve your spirits! Plus he’s now around boys that are like him so he can be more comfortable!!!

Have him and Camilla split up? 😟

Michael Petherick is a very special person: his talent in so many areas is amazing along with his incredible general knowledge. Love his sense of humour and to top it all off his wonderful skill & sensitivity as a pianist. He outshines everyone else - although shout out to Ollie too. But Oh ! Michael Petherick !

Since they built a dedicated counter for her to work on, she doesn't need to ask people to go in order to use the table.

Yorkshire pudding and gravy was traditionally served at the start of a meal to fill people up. Meat was expensive, but many folks had reasonable access to eggs so the Yorkshire pudding was a relatively cheap way of keeping the family full.

Seeing you back at LaLande brings back so many fun vlog memories of you and Stephanie and the CLL crew. You look fantastic and you seem quite happy and content. I truly hope you are. Andrew, it’s wonderful seeing you so often. You’re also loved and adored. Whatever is going on in your life, I wish you all the happiness, peace, strength and love. Ollie, it truly is so great your back at LaLande . Whatever health issues you have, I’m praying for your full recovery. You really look much better, I hope you’re feeling better too. After all these years I feel like I know bits and pieces of each of you. I love when everyone is together and when some leave I hope it’s not forever. I truly enjoy your content and everyone in it. I’m still bed ridden from surgery and rewatching all the vlogs. Cheers 🥂 to health and happiness!
