I would love to see Ruby cuddled, stroked and loved like Lancelot is. I have cats and they love the scratches and tickles as well.

[@XantheWilliams]

He belongs to a neighbour, apparently. Plus, Steph is allergic to cats.

[@judihopewell2499]

marie uses her new counter every day. A great kitchen addition..

[@ankiking]

For the cement removal with hammer drill, start on top so you can work downwards as much as possible. Have missed seeing Nati.

[@kimglover6968]

I don't think Marie knows how beautiful she really is. She seems to be embarrassed by compliments. She is truly beautiful inside and out!

Dinners at LaLande always makes me chuckle. 😃 The complete breakdown of each dish Is what I find humorous. Bless the cooks for their patience. I just holler "the foods done" and it's every man, woman, child & dog for themselves. 😂 After all the standing to prepare everything, I'm grabbing my plate and going to sit! Everyone is can figure it out on their own. If they don't like it, they can make themselves a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Ohhh. And someone else gets cleanup duty. But I also don't live in a chateau with paying guests. 😂😂😂😂

[@toddmurphy523]

Yes, if airbags deploy up front, Lancelot would be seriously hurt.

[@mommashawna707]

@@toddmurphy523 I had told them a few videos back that I had a police officer warn me about the airbags and my Pomeranian being in the front with me and now I see that they keep him in the back, that’s what I was referencing. I never really thought about it but I should of because it makes complete sense. My daughter had a seizure while driving, she miraculously walked away from that crash that totaled her car with no injuries from the accident yet the airbags broke a couple of her ribs.

Yes, we either crate or harness our Retriever in the car. God forbid an accident and pets can become projectiles.

It’s so lovely feeling this extra connection with the Chateaux, thru Grant, our lad from Warrnambool, from a lady originally from Cooriemungle (nr Port Campbell). Then Camperdown. Now WA. Thanks for doing us Aussies proud, Grant. 😊

[@Vee-zx6eh]

Good on you Grant. Warrnambool eh? The Bool !

[@Vee-zx6eh]

The first ancestors went on a Ship that sunk at Port Campbell. Its a small world. Go Grant.

[@allymayful]

@@Vee-zx6eh True??? Would that have been on the Lochard??? It’s known as one of the ship wreck coast lines. Where are you from??

[@Vee-zx6eh]

@@allymayful Hello, I'm from Victoria. The Ship, it was the clipper called The Lightening. It was one of the fastest tall ships that made record time between England and Australia. It brought out our ancestors in 1852. So the ship would bring immigrants/settlers/gold prospectors to Australia and haul back gold from the Victorian goldfields. It made many trips between England and Australia, but sunk at Port Campbell - I forgot what year. Crashed into some rocks.

[@allymayful]

@@Vee-zx6eh Wow! How interesting. A friend of my families, Rosalind Durez, wrote a book about all the ship wrecks along our coastline. She wrote it way back in the 1960s.

[@bigboy77dk]

And, again, I just think you need to swap chandeliers, Music room/Dining room 😊 And, off course, bring back the grandfather clock from "retirement". I know, its perhaps more a prop, than anything right now... BUT it does have the right look, and you could really do with some more clocks around the Chateau 😊

[@LaReynedEpee]

You seem to have quite a lot of dodgy electrics there. It’s really the sort of thing that should be checked whenever it shows up.

Those strawberry shoes look made for dancing ...every year my daughter used to have a ballet recital (one of many) called "The Strawberry Festival" in Minneapolis, MN. at 'Aveda', the natural hair and skin care company, run by an Austrian guy named Horst Rechelbacher who collaborated with Loyce Houlton, ballet choreographer ...it was an old Masonic temple and had a gorgeous 5th-floor ballroom done in the Egyptian style & we had Strawberry Shortcake after the year-end recital.
