“They shoot him with a nut in his hands.” Selmar…so funny !!!

[@hatshepsut8329]

Well, Dan’s Jack of trades CV is getting bigger! The drone shepherding technique was brilliant! I must say that Kat looked gorgeous in that dress! Annalise looked very beautiful at the Glamping party as well!

[@imhappy3093]

I think what I love the most about this vlog is the camaraderie. There’s so much joy and laughter between the residents of LaLande and it’s magical. And yes, the Chateau looks gorgeous!

[@emstewart986]

The courtyard is transformed. Clever gardeners. Go Dan the sheep herder

[@mandyedgar4663]

Less antiques buy more plants I say poor Dan has just cuttings to work with herbaceous cost nothing .. Dan you are a star 🌟🤩

[@PolyvoreThea]

I think the herding the sheep with the drone was genius!

[@ldnwholesale8552]

They herd cattle in the Northern Territory with helicopters,, just scaled down with a drone and sheep. Can he herd chooks though?

[@Elise-bh4rg]

The compost bin talk with Stephanie, Selmar and Dan was hilarious 😆 😂 🤣

[@mrsmurfin9066]

Another Canadian! Our secret plan to take over the chateau is working!!! 🇨🇦. What a lovely party for Mummy.

[@SJFoss]

Love Annalise! She is gorgeous and so lively and fun. Kat was stunning in that dress! I love how La Lande is like a storybook, with its various characters, their personalities and the things they get up to. Stephanie’s storytelling skills make it all come to life!

[@taitweigel64]

"the final blame lies on the tractor people". Selmar looked greatly amused. Lesson learned: listen to Selmar who thinks things through correctly. Your group are all good natured and delightful.

[@kristyrash927]

“He cooked for the film crew.” “And where are they buried?” Cat you’re so 😂 funny.

[@NewEscapade]

Thanks for pointing out that Cat comment, since I'd missed it.

[@ibosquez5238]

I almost missed it myself. I just laughed out loud, which I guess is what LOL means.

[@NewEscapade]

She truly has comedic sense. She could make a living on it.

[@barbaramccarthy3895]

Cat look beautiful in the black and red dress. I love seeing her on the show again. She's great.

[@lorihamlin3604]

It’s so nice seeing Dan and family included with the others. I’ve been watching his video channel. He and Analise and those beautiful little boys are very entertaining. His editing and drone shots are amazing..oh and his taste in music is wonderful.

[@kerryharding5587]

All the gang at lalande fill me with happiness. What a group of dear, dear people 🧡❤️

[@cwatson1975]

Cat looks amazing in that great dress! So much fun in this video. I loved the reaction to the taxidermy! “ They shot him with a nut in his hand”. “There will be one in each of your rooms when you get back.”

[@Belle19700]

I love Dan's technique with the drone. How funny is that? Happy birthday Stephanie's mummy.

[@NewEscapade]

I agree; Cat looks gorgeous in that red and black dress. AND it was very heartwarming to see Philip and the gal pals hugging like brother and sisters. And Selmar is adorable, as usual.

[@mariak9727]

🥰Hugging has been something dearly missed since covid

[@NewEscapade]

@@mariak9727 For sure!!

[@joanneburns258]

Happy Birthday Isabelle 🎂🎈🥳 you look fantastic can’t believe you are 80!

[@ChristineKelly1000]

It’s true.

[@paulette6087]

Kat you looks stunning in that black and red dress.

[@moonpie6955]

Totally agree, looked great 👍

[@sdole9448]

Selmar's amazing compost bin is big enough to hold a film crew! Very eco of you, Phillip.

[@kellylaliberte548]

I was thinking how beautiful the courtyard looks just as you mentioned it. You all and especially Dan have transformed it from a desert into a lush, colorful space. It's so welcoming now!

[@janetroberts2262]

So used to seeing Kat dressed for working but she looked gorgeous in the dress for the party 😀

[@janetg1691]

Brilliant Dan for herding the sheep with the drone! Happy birthday Isabelle! Kat looks amazing in the red and black dress!

[@milmom4281]

I love Selmar’s laugh it is so wonderful! The gardens look amazing!

[@Ren-xc1cb]

Such a joyous laugh

[@27Spiritgirl]

So much to comment on --- The reactions to the taxidermy gift were priceless!! Love Steph's comment " the Miss Havisham Years"! CAT - looks GORGEOUS in that dress - she really should show off that figure more!! And so happy to see another fellow Canadian in the house!! xoxo

[@karenellisbrown8169]

Selmar's reaction to where the blame lies. 😂

[@patdowney4984]

The girls looked beautiful and relaxed after their holiday x the glamping looks great

[@peggyvick935]

W😱W❗️ Kat looks amazing in that dress. She is so beautiful. Natural beauty, & I bet she hasn’t a clue. Loved seeing more of dear Selmar. We want to see more of Mummy!

[@thesecretwindowspot1298]

Stunning outfit Cat wore at mummys birthday 😍❤️ so funny with the drone chasing the cheeps 😂😂😂

[@moondancer5115]

I smiled the entire time I watched this video. Lalande is magical and I visit often. ❤

[@michelefolds7190]

Cannot believe Isabelle is 80 years old, she does look 10 years younger. Happy birthday to Maman.

[@ChristineKelly1000]

Twenty surely? 😂

[@carolehanrahan]

Happy belated birthday to Isabelle!!! I miss hearing her voice and seeing her beautiful face around the Chateau but I'm glad to know that she is with her love, Percy. I get such great enjoyment out of seeing how well you all get along with teasing and hugs and laughter. I think Dan gets bonus points for drone herding. There should be a Boy Scout badge for that!

[@kathykulba4320]

Oh Steph, I could not stop smiling and laughing with you by the compost and the glamping site! You couldn't write better material!!! LOVED IT!!!

[@annettewalter2273]

The glamping should be a lot of fun. The party for Isabelle looked like loads of fun and well done Dan on your new career as a shepherd.

[@carolinegooder7091]

Kat's face is amazing while meeting the taxidermy masterpiece. The glamping tents and kitchen are wonderful as is the farm. I'll miss the sheep run but maybe the sheep will learn to ignore the drone. Lol

[@jimloughran2131]

Isabelle should be officially referred to as Madame Mere - like Napoleons mother

[@pegala]

Don't exactly know why, but nothing mskes laugh out loud like those naughty sheep flummoxing all of those humans at the chatteau.🤣🤣

[@christinevr7698]

Same!! It's always a hilarious video when the sheep are involved.

[@Ren-xc1cb]

Yesss 😂

[@annettesharrock1236]

Good idea Dan using the drone that did make me laugh. You all looked well turned out for Mummys 80th birthday. Cat loved the dress TY for sharing loved watching

[@goldenlady9797]

Cat's face at seeing the squirrels, bird tree was priceless. Sheep being corralled by a drone, Mummy's birthday, so much happening. Thank you Stephanie, Philip and all

[@BDThomas]

Kat: "I didn't know I could hate something so much."

[@justinelord95]

New Zealand standing by...shout-out to the Lalande community

[@dawnussia4929]

I just watched an episode from two years ago and while I absolutely adore all the present la landers I can’t wait to have Isabelle, Percy, Gerry back and I miss David with the beard (where is he?). Looking forward to having the current group and the above back soon. Love from lockdown Sydney xxxx

[@pamelamcfadden337]

A very Happy 80th Birthday to a Beautiful lady..and many more..🙂❤✌

[@janetmackinnon3411]

That red and black dress! Wonderful!

[@denisemarle4141]

Yes, Cat looked fabulous!

[@bon037]

Ok Add techno- Shepherd to Dan’s very long list of talents! Good grief! Hilarious!!!!

[@yummboy2]

Happy Birthday Dear Isabelle! We really miss you and Percy. Take good care of each other and God Bless you both!

[@sallysampson628]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I just love Selmar’s laugh!!! And the clog also of course 🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

[@katrinatoland7553]

Good afternoon everyone, looking forward to mummy's birthday celebrations. See you all later XXX

[@debrastrange6241]

I loved watching all the hugs and family behavior. It's like living with family you actually LIKE! Imagine.

[@elliewood4292]

Looking forward to celebrating Mummy's Birthday. I can't believe Isabelle is 80. She doesn't look a day over 50. Happy Birthday Isabelle. I hope you and Percy had a wonderful day. Much Love.

[@metropcs7560]

The look on Selmar's face is priceless!!! Wonderful video all this life going on, Marie is there too awesome!!!

[@waltercook4868]

The courtyard does look beautiful. Compare it to those days when we were first introduced to Lalande and it is amazing!

[@gretardum8286]

Happy birthday Isabelle.

[@nancyalford8056]

Cat, such a beauty🤠❤️

[@katrinatoland7553]

I just have to tell you @Stephanie Jarvis this was just absolutely brilliant tonight XXX Loved every single minute XXX Thankyou so, so much all our LaLande family XXX

[@joyalpha8831]

Dan is the Man! Is there anything he can’t do! This was all fun even to the shoe falling apart.

[@cliffhorman6846]

Loved the glamping area.. Such beautiful countryside, very very nice. Dan is a super hero. And yes the front courtyard is looking absolutely lovely. Well done!

[@danieldaugherty5888]

I miss mummy so much I can’t wait for when she can come back and we can see her all the time.

[@charleswalker1185]

Never attempt a downhill hike in pointy toed anythings...by the end I was barefoot...

[@sarahburton3110]

Love the sheep mustering with a drone!!!!!!

[@catharinesnow8831]

Dan's been watching a lot of Clarkson's Farm...drone-herding sheep

[@knuscru]

If you don't recreate the "Drunk Taxidermy" with all of you, in one of the trees on the property, you will regret it forever.

[@Ren-xc1cb]

This is a golden idea... If not in a tree then at least on the granite steps out back!

[@sazzyb3617]

Happy Birthday to Isabelle

[@gisellenorbury2369]

Wishing mommy a Happy Birthday she looks beautiful and so young.

[@PeterPaul175]

Dan is the Drone Master. He has the aviation glasses, and now all he needs are a bomber jacket and a flying helmet.

[@yuleendevery9243]

Shredding before putting things in the compost bin would work wonders speeding up the whole compost process.

[@vanessaschofield7927]

the drone ringer comes to the rescue ridden by dan . that was amazing dan herding the sheep with the drone. wow steffanie them shoes you walked home in what got damaged well they needed a parachute they is not ideal walking attire as me gran would say . i am i hasten to say a gran myself and i am 63. dunno how you young'uns wears them shoes they looks so uncomfortable but apart from that so glad=d you got back safely and without a mishap . by the way it makes me smile when selmar is explaining how the sheep are going to go there route and he adds his little explanation whistle thing and we all know what he means . the glamping place looks lovely .

[@pineconequeen]

I think I’m going to miss the crazy sheep herding days

[@sherrywells2084]

Aww.. So wonderful of everyone together to celebrate your mummys' birthday even if she wasn't there in person.. Happy birthday !! .. Thanks for sharing..

honestly, this vlog is the reason I enjoyed this from the beginning. Loved it enormously!

Happy birthday Isabelle I know we spoke on the actual day but thought we would tag it along side the vlog too. We’ve seen Dan practicing hearding those beautiful white cows with his drone, looks like that will come in useful at the chateau. Looking forward to all the capers and high jinx on this vlog xx

[@Tracy_R]

The CLAMPING or CARAVAN idea I had suggested to STEPHANIE some time ago from watching Mapperton Estates. Mapperton now has Glamping. Great passive income. Hurray for Nadine. All the best.DAN, genius idea with the drone & sheep. CAT! WOWZER!! That dress is amazing on you. Sniff, sniff, so sorry about your gorgeous boots STEPHANIE. I hope its repairable, LOVE your white dress. I would love to visit just to taste MARIE'S Cooking, YUM! Happy birthday Isabella, Percy looked smart in his tie. Miss them.

[@eileenworth7862]

Like "Being John Malkovich", I am becoming addicted to seeing out of the eyes of Stephanie, Philip and Natty at the lovely Lalande and all the Lalanders and animals. KZbin is the next best thing to being there.

What a fun video! Happy Birthday, Isabelle!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

From Nati's and Cat's facial reactions, the compost scandal, sheep herding by drone, Glamping, and Isabella bday party. I couldn't stop laughing 🤣 Cat's comment about Philip 's cooking for the film crew "and where are the bodies buried had me in stitches 🤣😆😂 Just love all the fun, laughter and joy you bring into your vlogs. Please keep them coming 🙏

Loved the Glamping 🥰 Happy birthday Mummy. Droning in the sheep is a new one for everyone I’m thinking. Thinking maybe a small digger or back hoe need to be on a list of things to find for LaLande 😘 See y’all soon.

[@sharronr]

Kat looked amazing in the red dress. What a figure she has. I thought for a bit that Selmar was going to have to rescue you with your broken shoes.
