Thanks, Stephanie, for reading a snippet of Aloysius the Ram at the Bric-a-Brac - and for supporting this project. Special appreciation to Isabelle for all your encouragement and, of course, to the hero Scotman, Gerry, for your constant support and friendship. It means a lot and it means a lot to the charities involved. 100% of proceeds from sales go to paediatric brain cancer research and family support. Jo Rothwell x

To all la landers: You all have a great knack of keeping things real for us. Sharing your joys and sorrows, and “carrying on” in spite of sadness, is so sincere and rare in this big world of U Tube, and vlogging. All people you have introduced…friends, guests and other chateau owners have the same traits. Keep it up. We all hope that you feel our love and support through your highs and lows. Will always be a big fan of Chateau Diaries.

What a gift Nick gave you-the advice not to plant your garden this year, with potential water rationing, saves you so many hours of work and money!!! Nick's advice was a gift and truly priceless!!!! You are blessed to have the etchings of Chateau La Lande and what a find Phillip-you should see if any of the churches or old record books for the chateau, if they exist discuss the old chapel before1860. You discussed this with Patreons, so I apologize if you've covered this before (old records if they exist).

Tell Michael and Getry, what they need for the bread oven is a blowpipe. Take a 1/2" length of copper tubing. We flare one end and sand the sharp edges. Then smash the other end so it's an 1/8" slot to focus the air ar the base of your fire. I've watched all your shows since lockdown started. Living vicariously through you all. Thank you for the inspiration.

🤣Very disappointing news about drought predictions in France 🇫🇷 , but much better to discover it before the 🪴 plant 🪴purchase & labor💰. As Nick stated, new plants need a lot of water💧 at the start to fully establish them. Putting pause on plans is tough, but good in the long run. We've certainly struggled with water 💦 restrictions in the 😎Golden State. They simply come in returning cycles🔄. Although record breaking 🌨snow & rain🌧 this Winter from North to South & East to West has caused some chaos & tragedies. The good news is our deeply depleted reservoirs & lakes have topped up a bit & been replenished. 💫Hallelujah! Late last Summer we had a legion of firefighters battle a 🔥wildfire in the hills above my home🏘. 🚁Special helicoptors were forced to dredge up MUD from local reservoirs in lieu of sufficient water💧to drop on hillsides 🙉. Along with a huge contingent of brush tactical team that converged upon us. They did a phenomenal job stopping the advancement to a few hundred acres. 😮It was in the same footprint of the 2017 La Tuna Fire🔥 that destroyed a handful of homes & 8000+ acres. Even with outside help from other States, we had significantly less fire personnel 🚒 available at that time. LAFD & County were battling multiple major blazes in Brentwood, Santa Clarita, & Santa Barbara to Malibu. 🙄That was an exceptionally hard year for many Angelenos. The good news is God listens to 🙏prayers of the faithful. He brings restoration & healing of our land. 😁 You've made a brilliant suggestion👏! Much better than tarping alone. Hugelkulture is very smart both moneywise & environmentally. 🏆Excellent way to turn a drought to the ⚜️Chateau's best advantage. ♻️ Great reuse of natural & unnatural material. Dig some shallow trenches in the beds, fill with a layer of tree branch cuttings (vary pieces from 2-3"D×12-15"L). ✂️Also cut thick sheets of cardboard 📦 from 🎁Cadeau to cover that layer. Plonk good soil on top. Of course, you lay more cardboard on top of that layer to prevent the ground from getting direct sun☀️. Put yet another layer on top. This time regular garden mulch over the top to make it "pretty." 🌟 This will keep the ground cool & compost beautifully. It will enrich the soil for LaLande's future planting🌟!!! 🎉Yay!🎉 🤔They ought to consider discreetly adding (or burying) water💧catchment systems (or tanks) on all the outbuildings to catch even more 🌧rain for their future 🌱gardens🥬. The more water, the better. They have a lot of garden & ground to protect. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

Too many of us don't take the time to recognize why we are feeling a certain way and are just confused by strange feelings. It looks like your trip helped you pull out of that point but it's still okay to grieve when those feelings hit.

Hopefully all the recent rain we have had including this morning we will be okay planting this year. I'm looking forward landscaping my place, but that will be a few years in the making. I love taking a break from my renovations by watching you all there. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤ Yay for Michael being back too 🎉😊

Dearest Stephanie, I live on the Palm just over the road from the Hilton, and would have loved to show you around the country I love so much and have lived in for 23 years. Dubai is soooo beautiful, the desert, the Hajar mountains and the mangroves in Abu Dhabi. Come back soon, I would love to show you around the souks. Those towers are Windtowers, used as early air conditioning by drawing down the breezes from the creek when the Summer temperatures hit 50 degrees. There is so much more to Dubai than most tourists see, and I would love to show you around next time xx

What a wonderful gift for Gerarld and yourself. Great time to get away. So nice to see Micheal and the elusive Nick.Great food and activities. So sorry you been advised by Nick to hold off on full planting due to water shortage. Maybe it will be a rainy spring to help. I love your new dresses but really Stephanie, you would make a garbage bag look like it was made by a fashion designer. Phillip due have a very keen eye and what a revelation on the original chapel. Kudos to him. Happy Spring to you all.

You’re braver than me, I was terrified being so high up and couldn’t move near the window. Stood back and hugged the internal wall 😂
