That was a lovely summation of your visit to LaLande Jane, I can only imagine how enjoyable it was for you, Tony, Patrick and Stuart. The afternoon tea fare looked so scrumptious as did Stuart’s great Coronation cake. I thought I saw Tony checking out the metal work on the inside of the Chapel doors too? My Dad was a welding and panel beating tutor and I’m sure he would have loved watching Tony doing all his ironwork etc. Congratulations on your first premiere Jane. Most of the vlogs are too early in the morning for me to join in the ‘Live’ but I watch the episodes later on the TV screen. 👏👌🙏🏻❤️
