I filmed today’s Q&A video yesterday, before we reached 1000 patrons, so didn’t mention it in the video! But it was wonderful to wake up today and see how many supporters the Chateau de Lalande has we around the world 💛🏰💛

Even Thor was excited, because he let me take a photo of him from the front!!! I was beginning to think it would never happen - but here he is in all his splendor. I think he wanted you to have these photos to us as screen savers for your phones, to thank you all for your support 🦚

oh how wonderful! how exciting! I check the page everyday, get worried if the amount goes down and really excited when it goes up! A huuuuge journey from where I joined and we had only just gotten past the first stained glass goal.

Congratulations 🥰💫 these colors from Thor, amazing... what a beautiful creature.

Wow...that must be a painting surely? Amazing photo....Is there a story behind peacocks being associated with chateaux etc....was it purely about showing wealth or is it more symbolic in some way? After saying that a petrol station near me used to have one (not sure petrol forecourts are considered stately!) which was fine but for people like me with bird phobias not great....only went once( clearly) and had to gesticulate to get his attention and then pay out of my sun roof lol Embarrassing moment number 34,567 in my life :)

Gorgeous Thor! Thanks so much.

Thank you Thor - of course he was waiting for the right time to let you snap his splendour..... and 1000 patrons is a perfect reason. I have never been a patron before but you have brought so much "light" to my life. I even made Selmar's Apple Cake the other day and I do not ever bake!! Thank you Stephanie. Thank you to everyone that pops up at Chateau de Lalande, you have made 2020 bearable!

🦚Oh my goodness❣️🦚What a gorgeous shot of 🦚Thor! Mahalo for the BEAUTIFUL screensaver. I think it is one of my favorite things to hear when I watch your channel. We had peacocks on our property in the Florida Keys. They have the most exotic sound. 🦚

Thank you, Stephanie! I’ve made Thor my lock screen and will smile each time I reach for my phone. We’re getting so close to the next benchmark. I can’t wait to hear what you’ll strive to achieve when we reach $11k. Maybe a new fountain for the garden?

Epoque d'Or - maybe Golden Roses in the courtyard to acknowledge this Golden Renaissance for Chateau de la Lande.

Perhaps Angel might be willing to help with advice on that?

The more I look at this photo, the more amazing it really is. Thor is such a vibrant blue it doesn't seem real. Such perfection made by God.

WOW Nature sure knows how to turn on a wonderful display. Thor must know that it is “Pride” month in Australia. He certainly knows how to throw in a bit of colour to the day doesn’t he ? A friend of mine is a Drag Queen and he said he could only dream to get his make up this perfect ! Thor, you certainly are magnificent 🦚💜💙

It almost looks like a portrait, so beautiful.

Hi Steph my copy of the book The Arcanum by Janet Gleeson arrived today. It is the history of the development of the formula for porcelain (1998). With the entire story of obsession, greed and betrayal. It was recommended by the curator at the Frick Museum in NY. If you can't find a copy for yourself I will be happy to lend you mine.

Magnificent Thor indeed! Stephanie I know you are very busy but just wanted to share that I just finished watching The Big Flower Fight on Netflix and thought of you and Isabelle and the gardens of La Lande. I just wanted to suggest if you can contact the winners of the show, Andrew and Ryan who looked very adorable and perhaps request them to design a small pocket in the woods or in the walled garden or anywhere in the grounds of La Lande. It can be an added feature with the maze that Nick was suggesting that exits to the woods and the pool. A discrete sign at the entrance of that section can be installed explaining who Andrew and Ryan are. Again this is Just a suggestion.

Hello Stephanie! As Marie Wiik has launched her YouTube page, will you be doing a shoutout to her in a video, so your followers know about her videos?

Anonymous

Stephanie, will you please ask Marie to share the recipe for the elder flower drink that you all shared in today's episode. The one that is half champagne. Oh how I want to try that !! Thank you so much !

Anonymous

Fab idea Katherine, though perhaps better to wait a little so Marie has an opportunity to post more content first? Maybe a joint ‘launch feature’ if Stephanie is willing, when Marie has an opportunity to return to La Lande after lockdown? I can imagine Marie doing a floral demonstration in the old stable space she helped renovate for Oliver’s painting course, or in the vaulted attic room perhaps. Ooo, or a joint creative party day with Selmar, florals and tangos!

Lovely idea Sid!

Thor is stunning in all his splendor. As many have noted, I too thought that this first photo was a magnificent painting! This collection of photos of Thor is all the more appreciated having watched Thor run you in circles in your many attempts to capture on video his front plumage, as opposed to his preferred pose from behind! Thank you for sharing yet another of your many talents--photography!

Your VLOGs have given me such an uplift I had to become a Patreon. Residing in England more precisely in the Isle of Axeholme. Currently shielding, I have life limiting conditions, technology is my norm to remain connected with family and friends. Thor is an true elegant Peacock, who could resist.

Thor is amazing! For the last year I have laughed every time you try and get his picture, makes me giggle so, do you think he his sudden change of heart means he thinks he will be a proud poppa? That would be awesome!
