When I found the Château Diaries (through Dan, of course 😉) I thought why on earth would I want to watch a bunch of posh people swanning around in a huge house living the life of Riley, while I’m struggling post Brexit in a pokey 1950s ex-council house in the East Midlands of England. How wrong I was. You are all inspirational. I’ve got ideas for food from these videos, it has reinvigorated my interest in growing vegetables, and the renovation is nothing short of a miracle. Critical to all of this are the people, as you mentioned in this video. Each one brings their own character to the videos. I’m thoroughly enjoying watching the back catalogue and I’m looking forward to the new episodes. I’m hooked!

I found Stephanie through Chateau DIY and then through this channel she introduced Dan to us. It's funny how so many people found Dan first and thinks that he came first and then Stephanie LOL!!!

Dear Lalanders, I wonder if you fully realize that you are a unique group with a unique project that is more and more becoming worldfamous for it's 'live, love and laughter'. You helped so many people all over the world in Covid times and kept them away from a depression. People will remember that always and they will keep on supporting you.

Yes, the Assembly looked duly impressed with your accomplishments, as they should be. Much continued success to you and all of the Lalanders🎉

The great thing about the vlogs is that all of us feel like we are a little part of the chateau. We’ve watched it come back to life. It’s truly amazing what you and your family have accomplished. Being the keeper of history is not a small task. It takes someone who is passionate about it. With your father’s artistic eye, your mother’s loving yet firm guidance, Philip’s flare for what I call rural elegance and your eloquent way of drawing people in to your vision you are achieving your dream. I’m glad we get to go on this journey with you. Wishing you and yours all the best.

I have one bedroom one bathroom my kitchen with cabinets from the floor to the ceiling. My dining room is the biggest room in my little house I have a little living room in the front of my cottage and I decided to make the other front room into a cozy library. It is peaceful sitting on the front porch with a beautiful view of the fields and hills. I am almost 70 years old so this is plenty for me to manage. I always look to you for inspiration.
