MUMMY'S DANCING SHOES in THE CHATEAU DIARIES!

[@rosiebeardshaw658]

It's good to see Ian the plasterer again. I'm re watching the episodes. Rest easy and in peace Ian.

[@lorky24]

I fall more in love with Mummy with each new episode. These vlogs are so delightful.

[@jdowsett1]

Isn’t Mummy the cutest⁉️

[@lydiarowe491]

Indeed...most charming in those red shoes...cannot imagine them on anyone else but Isabel...🎈

[@baylorsailor]

The chapel looked absolutely stunning in the rain and sunshine. Unbelievable! 😍❤

[@msfrehel8758]

I just like re-watching these old vlogs and am so happy about all the progress that has been achieved and „meet“ all the well-known people, knowing what has become of them. It’s such a joy to „re-live“ everything,! ❤️😄

[@kaydonahue]

My mother, now 98, said the first year your plantings sleep, the second year they creep, and the next year they leap. While doing my taxes, mine have taken over...

[@suzanneedmonds1566]

What a cool saying, I am going to write it down so I remember it next time I am planting vegetables etc. Thank you for sharing. 😃

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

I LOVE this, good ol' your Mum. xxx

[@carolweaver3269]

Love this saying. It is so true in how this does seem to work in this way!

[@peg7981]

Mummy Isabelle needs a new evening dress to go with her new red shoes. Selmar is a God sent to the chateau... he does so many wonderful things.

[@rosepaetzke2933]

Selmar's heart seems to connect him to you all like family💗

[@CountryLady1752]

I adore watching all of you👒👠💛👑🦚

[@scpmdt]

Selmar is a keeper. Please make sure he stays. Lalande needs him. He can fix , create, build & he can dance too. Where will you find a treasure like him?

[@kimpossible2]

Stephanie, can you put together a budget to keep Selmar? I’m sure we’d contribute.

[@scpmdt]

Kim Matlock. Selmar does more than enough to earn his keep. Don’t you think? He does more than his fair share to help in the Chateau.

[@Joanie-o5l]

Priscilla D'Souza --In addition to all that he does at Lalande, he makes me sigh with happiness that such a gentle, wonderful man still exists.

[@scpmdt]

Joanie Absolutely spot on. He has a very gentle personality. He is very good for Lalande. He just gets on with doing things.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

@@selmarduinofficial Spill the beans Selmar! You are really an Angel in disguise eh! Be beautifully blessed in life. x

[@tamaliaalisjahbana9354]

The light in the rain in your garden was amazing. There was such emotion in it. For a moment as the camera swept over the chapel and a diffuse sun appeared amongst the grey there was such a tenderness in the sun that it hit me how the mother who lost her 5 year old son must have felt. The great sadness that caused her to build the chapel and turn grief into beauty and faith. The rainbow ending in your woods is symbolic. You are indeed digging up the pot of gold... I hope that one day I shall have the chance to pray in your chapel...

[@jillarnold3747]

Your videos bring joy to an ordinary day!

[@joannecordelia]

We LOVE shopping with you! If only I could be there!

[@rickflood]

So enjoyable seeing how the garden is progressing.

[@dennybrewton6752]

I love how you named bedrooms to reflect the history of them, but is it time to reflect history created since you moved in? To honor your lovely mother's hard work, I propose 🌻 "ISOBEL'S GARDEN" 🌹. Perhaps a small sign there or on the gate to the back?? I can see you planning a picnic for the unveiling!!! 💟

[@trigelrice7291]

Denny Brewton I love this idea!

[@sandicoppins]

Denny Brewton, your suggestion is brilliant. I vote in favor of this xxx

[@teresacarle294]

💐Brilliant idea. Her beautiful 🌸Mummy🌸 deserves a pretty plaque for her tender loving work in rebuilding Chateau's gardens (starting in mid-2000s?). I propose: 🌸Le Jardin d'Isabelle🌸 Est. 20?? A tiny tribute dedicated to dearest Isabelle's lush and verdant garden. A peaceful respite bursting full of life and laughter. All the seeds (and souls) sown on these hallow grounds, grow richly with her warmth, love, joy, and gratitude! Her vivacious spirit and labor blesses all that she touches. Isabelle's absolutely outstanding contribution and care bring refreshing vitality to all present and future inhabitants and guests. ~~~~~~~~ ⛲ ps In future, once it is installed, they should also mount a plaque (& blessing) near the fountain her 🌼father🌼 bought for LaLande too.

[@endeavouringit]

what a wonderful idea, same can be done for the terrace for the Australian guy (can't remember his name), and one for Selmar and Michael Petherick and Scotman and Thomas the laundry lol

[@BA-ef4pr]

I love your Mummy! She is so sweet and happy. Awesome charity shop-i see why you love going. Great video overall. Thnx!

[@billmartin2237]

Magical!❤

[@BethanGarlick]

Anyone else obsessed with how the vegetable garden is coming along? You've inspired me to do my own! Keep up the great work as always

[@dmckim3174]

Bethan I have been inspired to try my hand at a little garden. I have a raised bed that I never use.

[@marilynryan7822]

Bethan ,yes.I have a garden but love looking at others for ideas..mummy has a green thumb for sure👩🏼‍🌾

[@Stephdayosteph]

I love watching it! I don't have any place to plant, but trying to figure out if I have enough light to do an indoor pot garden (and figure out how to keep the cats from demolishing anything green!)

[@belindagreen8267]

YES ! I always look forward to seeing the garden progress ! :)

[@caronb1967]

The garden is my favorite!!

[@rettrasberry4019]

You should consider obtaining Guinea fowl (growing up, we always called them Guinea hens). They are relatively low maintenance, and in the summertime, Guinea hens will forage all of their food. Also, they reportedly eat up to 4000 ticks a day! Within a couple of weeks, Guinea fowl can totally decimate a tick population and help prevent lyme disease.

[@donbennett]

That's great information, I never knew that. Thank you.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Oh the joy of sharing knowledge. Thanks. xx

[@eledatowle7128]

Very true, but you have to be prepared for the noise and mess. They're a little harder to deal with than chickens and peacocks (I have a friend who has raised all three.) Their screech is unpleasant and constant, and they're good fliers, so they poop wherever they happen to be.

[@rettrasberry4019]

@@eledatowle7128 I totally agree! My suggestion is to only have a couple and then share them with other chateau friends. They can be "travel hens"! Every two months, they get a new home. LOL

[@Leebearify]

Possums love ticks also...are there any in France ?

[@joyfulthings1]

if you're really curious about the eggs, next time Siv goes on a wander hold a flashlight right up to the egg and you will see an opaqueness or if they are quite along into development you will see the dark shadow of the chick.

[@carolynshepherd4153]

One of the MANY things I enjoy so much about your videos is the loving, respectful and nurturing relationship between Stephanie and her sweet mother!

[@melaniemarlane3887]

Selmar is like a fairy godfather. He was exactly what the chateau needed and he just magically appeared one day in the middle of a pandemic!

[@Ejlrstn]

Lol, he even came in his own ‘carriage’ with trusty ‘steed’ Diesel!

[@Artoftalent07]

So true! XD

[@tinafrohlich377]

He should never leave the chateau 😉.

[@sheilasimpson1317]

Mummy is such a star and deserves those red shoes,perfect♥️

[@rosemariemcclurebowersox6052]

I absolutely adore your Mummy!!!👠👠👠

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Yes those roses would be beautiful beneath the windows. I laughed and laughed at Mummy chasing the CABBAGE butterfly. Too right! Sending love, the garden looks fabulous. xxxx PS. SELMAR.... is fixing EVERYTHING. bless his heart.👏💞

[@mjgoingplaces8111]

When in France for the 1st time, Instead of going to a souvenir shop I now have to shop at a thrift store! 😁

That sky with a glorious sun bursting through it, topped of by the rainbow, heavenly

[@carolweaver3269]

Mummy is such a gardener and also knows so much about so many things around the outside. She is like a hard-working woman on a huge country farm only this is a Chateau with all the same needs though, She is a gem and know she is enjoying every minute. Selmer is a very valuable and honest person and really a special part of this Chateau life and family. You are all a family really. Having fun and working hard together.

[@50Street21]

I always love when you and Michael go shopping.

Fun day of shopping! Your charity shop is huge with so much treasure! Cute dress with fun sleeves. Sending love to the 5 eggs!!!

Too good to watch only once ! Yes you can see the magical sparkle in the rain especially near the chapel. Pure magic xx

[@dloadthis1617]

Hi Stephanie, I had a great idea that since Michael has a MAC computer he should make you a diagram of your garden and label each bin with what is planted in it. That way you would know exactly where to find things when you need them. Keep up the good work! We love watching your channel in Beverly Hills, California. 💓💕💓👍😷👍💓💕💓

[@kimberlyearly8918]

If we had charity shops like there in the US where I live I would be there all the time! I can't believe how many plates they have! Your mummy is absolutely hilarious!! She brings so much joy!!

[@ournewnormalnow8432]

Stephanie...I just love your personality! You are always so sparkly and happy. You are a kind soul and it shows.💞 And your Mummy! I just adore that beautiful lady! I can see why Micheal adores you both so much, and why he loves spending time with you. Your chateau is simply magical✨ Much Love, from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦...Keli💖

[@michaelt8727]

Well done, Stephanie. Mummy's dancing shoes were such a thoughtful gift. The colorful coral red is perfect for the tango, elegant with a touch of Latin flair.

I love the dress, the charity shop, Mummy's red dancing shoes, the garden, and the greenhouse! Would it be possible to have some photos of the greenhouse? I want to build a greenhouse and attach it to my barn. 💕

Tallulah P I built a little greenhouse "Victorian Grow House"- on the label, during lockdown and it is my pride and joy.... jump in and do it I say 🌱

[@eledatowle7128]

Having a greenhouse, even a small one, is such a joy at the end of winter, when you want to be outside but it's still too cold. Here in Maine, I love mine!

So thankful to hear you are taking precautions against ticks. You are the most fashionable body armor wearer ever, Stephanie! My son has been ill with Lyme disease for 9 years from a tick bite. I love your beautiful woods, but do want you to be aware so happy to see your care.

This vlog was enjoyable from beginning to end. The highlights for me were Mummy dancing in the kitchen and the stunning rain footage.

[@JockScrapDraws]

Haha I love how you cut to mummy right after Michael says 'she makes the weirdest noise ' lol

[@alannagilmore8982]

I love imagining Mummy in those shoes 50 years ago, strutting around the kitchen and making a splash!! I love even more the even bigger splash she makes today!!!

[@ehpeachylove]

What a beautiful garden that mummy is working on with help of a gardener now, Selmar building more beds, more arches from the Ian’s, Mary Poppins too. Selmar is a Jack of all trades, such a help to Stephanie. Will def miss Antoine, his mama, and the elusive Nik. It’s so lovely to see Michael back at the Château. I am so happy that I have found this blog, it fills my days with something pleasant to look forward to and all his positivity.

[@risalangdon9883]

When I was a child , we'd go over to my great great grandma Gray's house to pick gooseberries. My mom made pies & jelly out of them. Great memories and fun.
