The Chateau Diaries: MICHAEL PETHERICK AT LALANDE!!!!

The Chateau de Lalande is filled with vloggers, as Michael (of 'Doing it Ourselves') and Ryan (from 'Life of Ryan') come to visit. The chateau is awash in cameras and tripods, but normal chateau life continues with wonderful dinners, carpentry, soap making and floristry - and Mummy gets very excited about a toaster and kettle!

Its not that hard to make silicon molds. The hardest part is making the form that will be used to cast the mold. If they know someone thats good at carving or sculpting they could make the model!

I actually laughed “out loud” watching Isabelle showing the HUGE instruction booklet for her Toaster! Thanks for making me smile!

[@KNYD]

Manuals like that are required by law, the instructions have to be given in all the officials languages within EU. The black tabs on the side mark each language, so it is clear that the instructions are in fact only a couple pages long. The instructions will include the warranty and who to contact if assistance is needed.

Jaja what I meant is that Selmar is extremely meticulous, with things he does and the way he dresses...he likes every thing to be perfect...and most of the Dutch people that I know are like that....

[@jajaazmi9186]

Yes I misunderstood. Also I did not know then that Selmar was Dutch. Now you enlightened me about the Dutch, thank you very much!!!

So much of this made me smile. Michael's "I'm down here love" and the laughter and Isabel's happiness over her toaster. And please can we just have a soundtrack of Selmar talking and laughing?

What a fun day! Little Diesel is a “show stealer” lol. He’s a cutie. LaLande was very fortunate to have Selmar join the family this year. He has made so many beautiful and lasting contributions to LaLande. I love seeing Mummy’s apartment. It is so uniquely historic and yet contemporary. And it is wonderful to see one of Stephanie’s besties ... Michael Pethrick... come “ home” to LaLande. He is an integral member of the core LaLande family. 😊. Y’all stay well !

[@cornishcoves9399]

I have often thought it would be lovely to add some plants or large pots to the drive where Selmar's workshop is...perhaps🌼 some plant mixtures or very large pots of shrubs 🌲With Marie's florist's advice maybe something could be created...I am sorry, too many projects already on the go I am sure. love from Canada♥...& as usual Mummy's comments are priceless...she is so brilliant! xo the table setting for bbq was SO BEAUTIFUL...yummy! xoxo

I have been planning on coming either before or after I finish university, when ever I have the funds to do so and if this virus ever lets up. So if you need help filming and editing, I would love to help out in any way I can. What a wonderful video Stephanie, I love seeing the magic that goes on at your beautiful chateau. I am in love with those rose soaps, they are so delicate and beautiful. Definitely gonna need that mold and make some of my own.
