Stephanie: “Philip’s spotted tableware.” Davy: “Oh, dear…” 😂😂😂 Classic!

However, June 21st is Summer Solstice. From then, the days do get shorter until Winter Solstice [ 21st December] when they start to get longer again.

​@lizamartin4705Why are people saying this? I'm so confused

[@aleta5024]

They would be well suited - both very tall and both love plants.​@lizamartin4705

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

I noticed that Pavlena and Davey have a similar vibe: similar ways of speaking, both very low key but also grounded and confident. I am sure those similarities can be perceived as chemistry. I presume they are just friendly from their time at LaLande.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

You really shouldn't be causing rumors to go around when there is absolutely no indication that they are a couple. She has apparently wanted to go for years and Davy always goes. Just because they both happen to be there doesn't mean they are dating.

[@lorimacdonald7977]

I’m on cloud 9 today: my 17-year-old gigantic wisteria has dozens and dozens of blooms!! I live in Eastern Ontario, Canada, so it’s not very common. Last year was the first time my vine flowered - five blooms. If this multitude of blooms never happens again, I’ll still be thrilled that I witnessed this wonderful sight … and scent! I know all your fellow gardeners can understand my joy.

[@LaReynedEpee]

Pruning it helps to maximise flowering 👍

[@tinekejoldersma]

I sure can, a colder climate is always a challenge with Wisteria. So glad yours bloomed.

Loved seeing the Ardmore collection! I would go bonkers with wanting to buy everything! The scarf was so lovely and looks so good on you Stephanie! Can't wait to see more of the CFS! Watching it all longingly from the US, sigh! PS If I were a sculptor, but then again no... wait, if I were a sculptor I would make Pooh and Piglet for your bridge and give them to you!

I'm sure someone among Stephanie's viewers could make an affordable Pooh and Piglet & even Christopher Robin!

[@valerialamberti9037]

Stephanie you looked amazing! The scarf, the coat, everything!

[@rayn8740]

And a lovely time was had by all. Well, almost all. Look at the brightside, Davey, you saw pretty things and hang out with fun and interesting people for several hours. On the hierarchy of needs for a successful excursion, those two are at the top of my list. How nice to run into Wendy at the gallery. Ardmore creates such magnificent ceramics and their fabrics are a perfect compliment to them too. The zebra was delightful. The original colorway was my favorite. Wow, they were all beautiful. I'm excited for the expanded tour of the Chelsea Flower Show. The sneak peek was already pretty inspiring. A big hug and kiss to Pavlina. It's so wonderful to see her smiling face again. A little rain wasn't going to phase her, she's 'not made of sugar.' What a delight she is! Philip, great pant find.👍 I liked the pink jumper too. Stephanie, I love the coat and the matching skirt. In spite of the weather, you always managed to look pretty. Congratulations on scoring the flower cuttings bag for Marie. I bet she'll love it. I understand your separation anxiety over little Lancelot. We become so attached to them. Whenever I return home from day trips, kisses and hugs are in abundance. I think we miss them as much as they miss us. Thanks for another enjoyable episode. ❤ from TX!

[@kindlydude]

I would call Phillip's jumper a 'coral' color ...sounds more masculine as well. 😉

[@annivali4356]

@@kindlydude, as they've explained earlier, pink actually used to be the masculine colour, not blue in the past.

[@rayn8740]

It was actually Stephanie who originally said, "You're a vision in pink." I'm just the parrot. Some people have an issue with pink. I am not one of them. I love the color. I like coral too, so I'm good either way.

I’ve had to watch this blog three times as it’s so joyful and colourful, loved the variety. I’m sure you aren’t concerned about the numbers but I never understand how some other chateau blogs I watch ( and love) have much bigger numbers as yours are so varied and about ALL life as a chatelaine , much the best. Xxxxx

[@kindlydude]

...Stephanie's vlogs are NEVER boring!!! If people only gave her a chance they'd fall in love ...because she is in love with life, laughter, beauty, art, friends, family, decorative arts, fairy-hunting & Pooh & Piglet sightings ...and more ...her chateau and travels are just a backdrop for all of these!!!

[@ChristinaFindell]

We always love your vlogs, as you may have gathered! 🙂We were looking forward to your RHS Chelsea Flower Show vlogs as they are always so interesting. Because you see different aspects of the Show we are not shown on BBC TV as well as your brill interviews with the actual gardeners who have designed and had them constructed. Nice to see a few special shops too. Stephanie we loved the colour and look of your coat and the purchases Philip bought! Also the great idea of the Norfolk carrier bag for Marie to collect the flowers in! It was good to see Andy, Pavlina and Davy again. We loved your second vlog even more seeing far more of the show and because your fascinating interview with the gardener and designer of the Bridgerton Garden told us why she had made the designs and planted the flowers and even showing you a couple of hidden props which the BBC did not tell us! So glad you took us all to see the beautiful/stunning Ardmore open day exhibition! It was lovely to see the adorable Lancelot's excitement when you returned home! We were so sorry to read about the demise of your lovely chickens but the new chicken coop and run will be good to protect them. We hope you manage to get ride of that fox! Love and Very best wishes xx😊Christina and Nick Crediton, Devon UK.🥰
