I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

[@mariadange06]

Michael's presents are beyond generous and of exquisite taste 😍

[@lynnralph8373]

It is time that we all meet Michael who sends La Lande such wonderful gifts,...perhaps a holiday Michael ?

[@Ivymeg]

Rolling off the bed laughing! Steph exclaims: “Wendy…I love this - it’s a pigeon!” “It’s a male pigeon!” “ I knew just like that!”(Steph quickly snaps her fingers in Z formation…) Who doesn’t love the Chateau Diaries?

[@jomeyer13]

nice sugar creamer for the breakfast table or tea....

[@lisaloy2011]

Great water or iced tea pitcher

[@canderson7923]

You and Philip should create a coffee table book on all your friends’ French Chateaus. And a separate book on Chateau Lalande.

[@grubmoh]

Happy belated birthday Philip from Australia. That gorgeous pudding jumper was the perfect fit! Looked great!

[@jillbainbridge6747]

Loved the birthday video for Philip! It is so great to see the positive changes in Marie, too. She's beaming and looks happy at last.

[@ronaldhorton2438]

The three of you are a delight. Thank you for sharing Phillip's delayed birthday. What room did you use in this video, I don't remember seeing it before. The painting behind Philip is gorgeous. Nice to see three bright and beautiful faces. Thank you.

[@nancytysor7098]

Cereal killer rather than serial killer....

Good luck finding the sun in Scotland. I spent all of my childhood summers there and it always rained

Stephanie... you are as always a hoot. And your knife weilding helper😂😊, always a pleasure when you help with the 🎁 presentation videos. 🥳🤎🦔🌻

[@susanmaschke8701]

The bird poster would be cheerful in the laundry room

[@susanmaschke8701]

The pink Long pillow with the palms would be gorgeous in the grand salon when the sofas are in the room.

[@peterwhite9261]

Happy Belated Birthday, Phillip. It warms my heart to see you be spoiled with those beautiful presents. Marie and Stephanie are beautiful as always.❤

[@nancyhelgeson9934]

What a wonderful birthday for Phillip with all the great gifts! He does deserve them! My grandparents immigrated from Norway, and Marie reminds me of the Norwegian "style" that I am familiar with. 🥰

[@hollykeller1545]

I love the silver chalice’s from Michael! Really liked all of his USA gifts❣️🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Happy Belated Birthday to P❣️👏🏻👏🏻

[@carenvisser607]

That painting behind Phillip is stunning. I don't remember seeing it before. It is one of your Dad's. Whow magical.

[@kimmartin160]

It is the last painting her father did. Technically not finished. Phillip surprised Stephanie and got it framed.

[@BernardDauphinais]

Yes, isn't it gorgeous!

[@hahna77]

​@kimmartin160 it's not the same one. This one is finished and has been framed & hanging in Steph's sulking room/office for some time. It's actually my favorite & likely hers too. The one your speaking of is unfinished/his last, and is newly framed & hung in Natti's office/coctail corner.

[@lizslater5607]

I love seeing the three of you together , Marie is so happy so glad she is back with you at La Lande xxx

[@jannahughes3121]

[@alisondoughty2194]

Happy Birthday to Philip 🎉😊🎂

[@rosepaetzke2933]

Perfect Christmas jumper!!!

[@JudythJ60]

The silver vases are beautiful. I would see if canning jars would fit perfectly inside to protect the insides from continuous exposure to water!

[@lcg5790]

Happy belated birthday Philip!

[@poetinflesh]

Philip in his pudding sweater and all those little creatures... cuteness overload! Happy belated birthday Philip 🎁🎂🎁❤

[@rolo4945]

I’ve got a little fairy garden for the grandchildren, with owl solar lights. You need solar lights in the woods attached to twig chandeliers

[@kathymalloy6246]

Happy Birthday Philip! ❤🎉🎉🎉 love the painting behind you Philip. Just beautiful 😘 Happy Birthday Stephanie also😘🎉🎉

[@rachael6956]

Happy belated birthday Phillip! Another interesting 'Michael' cadeaux.

Michael never ceases to amaze me with his beautiful gifts. 💖 The parrot poster as wrapping paper was brilliant. 🥰

[@kimbevan5614]

Happy belated Birthday to the most humble man Philip. LaLande is truly blessed to have you as its guardian with your beautiful Stephanie. Love to you both and have a wonderful time in Scotland K🇬🇧❤

[@MYJ61]

Philip and I were on the same page with your new sunglasses. Definitely conjuring up images of young Grace Kelly! ❤

[@BernardDauphinais]

Happy belated Birthday, Philip! Many happy returns.

[@lindascott2008]

The silver vases will be gorgeous on the dining table with Marie's flowers and Phillip's lovely table settings. I will be looking for them to be used in the next guest weekend guest dinner, I'm sure they will want to use them right away, so lovely. Michael sure sends a lot of very nice gifts.

[@patriciarinaldi9390]
