Hello everyone! I’m so sorry that there wasn’t a Patreon video last week. We have been filming the second (and last) secret project for the next series of Escape to the Chateau DIY, and it’s taken much longer than expected! We were supposed to film the reveal today, but the crew will return to film it tomorrow as it turned out to be more complicated than expected and we’ve just downed tools for the day now. One of our Dauphines of Lalande is visiting Lalande at the moment and has been hard at work with us!!! So a big thank you to Hanni 😊

I will give you all one clue - the project involves the pigeon prints that I bought from the couturier Reinhard Luthier.

As soon as filming finishes tomorrow my life will go back to ‘normal’ (if there is such a thing at the chateau 😉) and I’ll post two Patreon videos in order to catch up.


Lots of love to you all from Lalande 💛💛💛

I knew you've been busy with the film crew. Good news that they will soon be out of your hair. :)

Ha ha! I did spot the pigeons in yesterday’s video. If plans haven’t changed they were going to go in the tower staircase to your suite. I know you’ll never tell, but I can’t wait to see it when you are able to share 😊

Hope you are staying well and taking time out for yourself. Xx

Mmmmm!!! I thought that might be the case when I saw Hash painting the frame of one of the pigeon prints. Oh! Stephanie, you have been doing so much lately, we do understand and we are already spoiled with so many vlogs, but it will still be great to get sone updates. 😁😁😁😍😍😍

Hi Stephanie👋🏽Oh how exciting! So excited to see what you e been up to! Xo 😘

Hello Stephane. That sounds like a ‘crazy’ editing schedule for you of 3 videos in one day, the main channel video and two patron videos...... Perhaps after the TV filming wraps tomorrow you could give yourself a little breathing space? Maybe post just the main channel video tomorrow as usual, then post one Patreon video for us on Friday and the other on Saturday?

Anonymous

Not that an excuse is ever required, this one was indeed marvellous! So exciting. I do hope you’re taking care of yourself. The occasional long bubble bath with F&M tea liqueur and Champagne cocktail and a good book I’d have thought to have done the trick. Two videos! What a treat. ♥️💋

So glad because I wondered about those Pidgeons!!

Stephanie please do not apologise. I have loved all the content on YouTube and I really do not want you to burn out. You give us so much insight as patrons, so I just want to say thank you. 💚

OH what fun I can't wait to see the new Escape, if I'm able to watch it in the US? You've so much to do always amazed at what you get done. You are ever an inspiration to me to do more!

Hmmmm...maybe going up the tack room staircase?!

Do not worry about 2 videos or even 1. The update is appreciated but no more is necessary as far as I am concerned. 😘😘😘😘 Take care of your self Stéphanie ! Xxx

No one should hold you to a video every single week (they better not!). Everyone deserves a break sometimes :) Hope your filming was fun!

Is there any update on the loo project, the chicken houses or the shutter dogs 😊

Thank you Stephanie, you are so wonderful and work so hard, be so proud of yourself! I really appreciate watching videos of your incredible life, home, family and friends! Xxx

Oh exiting...these pigeons...and no worrys about a video less...take care of your self.❤

I greatly appreciate you just letting us know why you’re not posting yet. It’s far better to just leave a word or two as to why than to just go dark as so many do. So well done you! Happy to wait!

Oh no worries at all. Life must be totally crazy right now! Looking forward to seeing the video about the pigeons. What fun!!

no worries for the videos, it’s totally understandable and we’ll have so much to discover later, I can’t wait to see all those amazing projects! 👀

Any chance of a q & a with Gerry, although I think this should go on the YouTube channel as he is so beloved by all

Im not a patron for extra videos. Even if the lake with Oliver & family was a treat. Im parting with a miniscule amount of cash so that accummulatively it can help towards restorations of your wonderful Chateau. Actually it was the dirty trick the water board played on you that spurred me to donate. A burnt out Stephanie would not be fun. You have been sharing your life so openly with us. Honestly you dont owe us more. No YTvideos during filming week would take a lot of pressure off you. And more importantly, I wont feel so guilty. 😉😁 Take care.

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” -John Lubbock Stephanie, one of the things I love most about you is your ability to fully enjoy the moment in the simplest things. Please take the time to take care of yourself. Self-care is essential and a wonderful way to release love into the world.

What a delightful quote Angela. I hope Stephanie sees it and takes a rest herself. Seems like she may be burning her candle at both ends. A x

Yay I am excited to see the pigeons once the tv show is released!

Hip hip hooray for the pigeons! I've been hoping to see their reappearance. In fact I found reprints of a couple of them in a old John Derian calendar so I made my own small set of faux pigeon prints for a guest room at my house. Yours will be so much more fabulous, of course. As others have said don't think twice about extra videos for patreons. We're just thrilled about all the exciting work that's getting done and how happy you seem to be. Bravo, Stephanie and enjoy these wonderful hectic days!

Can’t wait to see what you’ve done with these prints. I thought about them just last night as I went to sleep thinking about LeLande life!

No worries. Looking forward to next video. Hope it cools down soon over there

I for one don’t mind in the least if there’s no Patreon video just do when you can I’m sure no one will mind if you miss a week xx

i agree- no video but i would adore a voting list🙏🙏🤞

Dear Stephanie- no weekly video needed at all - but the greedier ones amongst us (ok ok that would be me.... and my tiny rescue 80 lb American bulldog lap dog who knocks my hand off my phone to pet him😂😂) would indeed adore a voting list - just a list🤞🙏 with 3 tiny little things on it... say like extra washer dryers, dishwashers or built in fridge- you must say... tenacity IS my forte😜

Thank you for all that you do here. You do go over and above with all of your projects. I think that we all just want you to do what you can as you can and most of all do try to take time out for just you when you need. You are a joy. Take care, DAGZ.

Dear Stephanie, please don’t run yourself into the ground.....I fully sympathise with your adorable Mummy when she looks at you, as only a mother can look at her beloved child, and be concerned that you are doing too much. God bless xx

Hey Steph, I hope you reduce the number of videos to 3 per week in total and spend more time working on or supervising the restoration of the chateau. Exhaustion wont do anybody any good, I know you have to strike while the iron is hot in case the dream runs its course but....so love watching all you do and all you achieve and if it were up to me I'd want a daily video lol but I'm also concerned......as is Isobel. PS I really really really hope that Ollie is looking into buying the farmhouse down the road, cant wait to see he and C renovate and vlog.

As above,one a week is fine.We have plenty to watch.You must take care of yourself as well!Love to Isobelle.

Hi Stephanie, Three videos a week is more than enough. All going well I'm here for as long as you produce your fantastic videos.

Anonymous

You’re doing more than enough. Don’t even think about trying to catch up. You absolutely don’t need to and must think more about yourself. Get some rest. Xx

Anonymous

I agree with so many of your supportive patrons! Take care of yourself first. It is not necessary to “catch” up and risk your well being. So much going on your world must be spinning.

Hi Stephanie! Thank you for the update. I hope you enjoyed filming for the show, and I am excited to see your return to tele. Sounds like you had a whirlwind of a couple weeks. Please don't feel like you have to catch up on videos. We are still here. Your weekly check in with us is enough. ;) Sounds like you deserve a good rest, and a day off. Take care!

I'm happy to skip a Patreon video once in a while. In fact, I'd be in favor of only 2-3 Patreon updates per month, its really not a huge change for us but could be a huge time saver and stress relief for Stephanie (I know she loves making the videos).

You do so much Steph-a-nie.. (in a mummy accent) 😊🤗 looking forward to the reveal, wish we got british television in the US!

Stephanie,can I recommend you look at the work of Craig Hughes,based in Conway,he restored a fabulous French chair.Its in black n white on his web site.But on Quest, Restoration,last night it was fabulous when finished.

Stephanie ! Pls do not go killing yourself for an extra vlog or two I’m sure everyone knows just how very busy you all are and it’s not expected it’s a bonus pls take some time for yourself and your family take a step back for a week and have a breather xxxxx

Anonymous

agreed!! I think for all of us just seeing the renovations is enough and having a say in things like votes is just beyond. I just so wish one thing would be for her to have a personal assistant.... truly.... plus a house manager..... just people to do the things she shouldnt have to do - lets start with the uploads😜

Stephanie take care of yourself. We all are understanding. have time out xxxx

Excited for what beauty and fun is to come and standing by with support and love. When I read your words, Stephanie, it's such a bonus to hear your voice and feel your personality in your writing. As I say to my daughters, "take a moment, take a breath". Hugs.

Pigeons are so adorable! Two of those look like they are wearing old fashion man wigs!

As per your Mom, please make sure you take it easy and take time to relax. We won’t have any vlogs with it from you. Can’t wait for more but we can also patiently wait. Take care Stephanie.

Sharidan Dee Ann Vincent

We are excited to receive the vlogs Stephanie, but you and the other Lalanders need a well-deserved rest, we will be here when you are ready!

Denise Behrends

I concur that there is nothing more important, Stephanie, than taking care of yourself.

Can't wait to see when the time comes. I agree with the others don't worry about any of us. Rest, all of you.
