“My face says Pavlina” 😂 Absolute gold response!

[@crae3422]

That was brilliant. Had to hit pause because I was laughing so hard. When Pavlina's novel comes out, I'm betting her characters have great dialogue. Yes. She wants to be a writer.

[@rhondathomas7952]

I literally LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Valen_Wolf]

Yes! 🤣 A fantastic response!! Lol!

[@WolvesinFrance]

Exhibit A = no dents lol

[@jemima4242]

Your Mother has such a good sense of humour - I love her!! 🥰😂

[@ladybugslovlies1877]

and Percy has as well. What a sweet couple. I just love mummy she is so cute, even while backseat driving! ❤❤

[@alisonsneed3707]

'but my face says Pavlina' classic one liner from Pavlina' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Everyone looked so beautiful and stylish at your dinner. I must say your Aunt's sense of style blows me away. Congratulations to both couples.

[@christinebarnes3493]

Your Aunt and Uncle always make me smile warmly 😊😘

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

Loved the men in their suits. I've always wanted to invest in a good quality women's suit and they (as well as the endless dapper on this channel) have just inspired me to rock one at my brother's wedding! Thank you 💜

[@svg7335]

Your Ton Ton Stephen is the most jovial person. And I LOVE the way he is so affectionate with your aunt! What a wonderful example for his sons and all to see. You have the best family...both by blood and by honor.

Amaury's face when he sees the broken step! Poor man looks tired.

[@carolinegooder7091]

A step can be found at a hardware store and not made. Time for a hammering or stapling class to get everyone in the DIY mood. Dan may also need a few indoor jobs this winter. 😘😘😘

[@EyeGlassTrainofMind]

@@starrdate877 I don't think that pitting people against each other is necessary. Amaury very much works hard and deserves a break but so, too, does everyone else. We see very little of what goes on each day. If you want to advocate for someone having something, it doesn't mean you have to advocate against someone else in the process.

Amaury is looking, and his face says, "Oh no, something more to fix."

[@tammiewilson5185]

My first thought as well!

[@toddmurphy523]

Yes....I saw him rubbing his chin thinking how he was going to repair the step!

[@maryallen6334]

Poor Amaury. Every time he gets into the groove of the grand salon - something needs mending!!!

[@deirdrevaughan5078]

Amaury and Natalia should go for a little break 😊

[@toddmurphy523]

@@deirdrevaughan5078 Especially Natalie.....We get to see the beautiful craftsmanship of Amaury, every episode we see who is in the kitchen making a grand feast, who is planting or harvesting in the garden....but we never get to see the hard work that Natalie performs daily. Administrative work is often overlooked. But I bet she personally sees to it that the entire Chateau runs smoothly. My hat is off to you, Natalie!

[@kellyhawes9293]

Your Aunt and Uncle are such beautiful people, inside and splendidly dressed outside! Happiest of anniversaries to you both!

[@karentodd4910]

Look how Pavlina is blossoming, this is the magic of Lalande. In this unique environment people find their passion and flourish. Simply marvellous.

[@katew3818]

Love Maria’s attitude and sense of humour 😂

[@eleonoracasula1836]

She is so smart! I love her!

[@luciaroslingshaw2112]

So glad there is a Lalande dog! And the flowers along the castle border are a keeper. Please do them every year.

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

I love Maria and Pavlina's cheekiness. "My face says Pavlina." Maria, "Known by the few, revered by the many!" As your Aunt described what she and your Uncle were cooking, I thought, in Philip's honor how autumnal with all the root vegetables. And a celebratory roast dinner, one of many to start your holiday season. Happy Anniversary to both couples.

[@philomenalear3488]

After several years watching, I still love your vlogs, my heart warms to you all and I smile the whole time I am watching. This one seems extra special, I dont know why, its relaxing seeing you at home amoung loved ones, just walking around sharing and enjoying your beautiful,Castle Sanctury. Thank You.

[@alexandreintouch1847]

Stephanie’s English accent when she speaks french is just the cutest most elegant , a wonder to listent for us French …

[@lorahart56]

Of course, those of us who don't speak it think her French is amazingly good. I'd have thought her accent would be perfect, learning and speaking with Isabelle all her life.

[@TiemposDePaz]

I never thought of her having an English accent in French. But it makes perfect sense haha

[@RockDove5212]

Even to an English person you can hear it doesnt sound like a native French speakers' French does. It sounds less smooth and more awkward. I'm sure it's lovely to a French ear, although I was told that the French don't enjoy French spoken with an English accent. Whereas we English love to hear English spoken with a French accent.

[@kaywallace6139]

Everyone looks so beautiful and glamorous in the evening wear.

[@litsakoutoula3071]

Happy anniversary to both you and your uncle and aunt. If you don't mind could you tell us the story of how two French sisters (Mami and aunt) ended up in England,married to English gentlemen. Plus, what does/did your uncle do for a living. I always imagine him doing sth really artistic 😀🤔❤️

[@carolinegooder7091]

Stephanie told the story in a vlog. The sisters are from a small French village and Isabelle went to London to be a nurse. She was a head nurse in a hospital ward before she and Derek restored two victorian homes for private nursing homes one after another. Derek was self taught as a painter and was a nurse also. Isabelle made sure he could have time to paint. Isabelle's younger sister came to live with them. Stephanie didn't say where her Uncle is from up north. Aunt, Uncle and two sons lived with Stephanie's parents, Stephanie and Gerry. So Stephanie said Amaury is like another brother. One day Stephanie should interview them for the details of how they met.😘😘😘

Ooh yes, it would be so interesting to hear the two sisters’ stories, and also where the devilishly handsome Uncle Stephen is from 🤭

[@allymayful]

Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. You are an amazingly unique couple, with so much fascinating knowledge of the cultural world to share with us. These words do little to describe the pleasure I get from observing your relationship.(and all the others around you.

[@exblondie57]

I love how much your family and Philip adore each other 🥰

[@crae3422]

Agree. It's lovely to see.

[@neilchisholm8376]

They all love Phillip because he is making their daughter/niece so happy. That’s all a family could ask for, for their treasured one to be happy and Stephanie positively glows. I’m sure they love Nati as much as she is making Amaury so happy too it’s just with the B&B running Nati is so busy she doesn’t figure as much in the vlogs. Come winter I’m sure we will see much more of Nati and Amaury.

[@exblondie57]

@@neilchisholm8376 You can definitely see how much they adore Nati as well! Seeing Nati interact with Amaury’s parents during Christmas in particular was so sweet.

[@debtheguest3109]

Maria and Pavlina are such fun women, it amazes me how you find such treasures to surround yourself with Stephanie. Besides all the regular LaLanders (which are all treasures as well) it's so nice to see others that fit right in with the LaLande dynamic. Happy Anniversary to your Aunt and Uncle and of course, you and Philp!

[@britneymichelle1714]

I watch a lot of different KZbin channels, BUT this one is by far is my ULTIMATE Favorite one to watch. I feel like I know everyone inside and out. I've been watching since Stephanie first started her vlogs, and I still cant get enough. Love each and everyone of you guys as equal!

[@nicolethijs5428]

I was wondering if Philip came to the chateau as a volonteer or if they met elswhere! Philip first apeared on the vlogs around. September 2020 and if they are together for two years there must have been a spark between them very early on.

[@mommashawna707]

I have to say I enjoy your mother and Percy so much it’s ridiculous. He is just adorable and your mother is stunning and hilarious. They seem to be a good time always.

I love your family. Such characters. Warm, stylish and so hard working. As for Amaury, not only is he Mr Fixit, supremely gifted and creative (not to mention gorgeous to look at) but he comes across as humble, sincere and happy to be in the background. The others - Maria, Pavlina etc also all good value.

I swear I saw Salvias amongst the plants you pointed out. In north Texas we grow a lot of Salvia greggii. It's a prolific bloomer and pretty drought tolerant. They also come in several shades from red to pink, purple and blue. I love the ferns and heuchera too. Heuchera, aka corral bells, have both attractive foliage and pretty flowers. Your crew of gardeners and volunteers have taken great care of the grounds. What a delight!
