Well wasn't that a treat! Who knew Kat could sing like that! I'm assuming she is a Katerina? I've always loved that name!

Wow. That was absolutely hauntingly beautiful. The skills and talents at Lalande are fast becoming legendary.

This was such a treat! Thank you for sharing. Your cousin and Dan crack me up! They are such a mess together. If your mother returns, she will have her hands full with those two. Kat and Marie were wonderful. Tatiana is adorable as well. So happy for Selmar. Ruby missed him as did the sheep.

I love you all!! What a dream life you are living!!! Music, fun, food, lovely people!!! What more could you ask for! Beautiful performance at the end!!!!

Stephanie, only you could be recording a video while curling your hair into a fantastic updo. I’m lucky if I don’t hurt myself just getting out of bed in the morning - or maybe not poking myself in the eye brushing my teeth. How you do it mystifies the hell outta me. Speaking seriously, which is a rarity, we all love Cat so much and I hope she knows. Everyone on your channel appreciates her lightning ⚡️ wit, MANY talents, and beauty. It was a real treat to hear her sing, as well as Maria playing! 👋To Philip wherever he is.

This was Fantastic! Maria and Kat Bravo….so nice to see Dan,…Wow he looked like a Brooks Brothers model, I’m loving the Dan and Amaury bromance, they are great. They remind me of two former employees I had, we just called them “the boys” because they worked so well together. Emilio seems very sweet and charming also. I can almost smell Maria’s bread, it looks so good. Great Job, Stephanie and Co.

The wonderful team work at Lalande never ceases to amaze. I wanted to send a special thank you to Nati and Cat, you girls did such a great job keeping Lalande purring like a kitten while Stephanie and Philip were away. Thank you for all your hard work and attention to detail keeping all the guest happy. I would welcome you girls doing more vlogging in the future. You ladies have such a wonderful sense of humor. Sending lots of love and hugs to you all. <3 <3 <3

I knew Cat sang with a choir whilst growing up but I didn’t realize how beautiful her voice was. And Maria is so talented in many, many things! She’s perfect at LaLande. Thanks for sharing your lovely dinner. Philip was missed.

Thank you for this dose of joy Stephanie.

Maria is a very talented young lady! Does Kat have a Russian background? Surely she didn’t learn that Russian sing phonetically?

Missing Philip. Hopefully he’s somewhere having fun.

This fourth generation soprano extends her respect and admiration to an alto. For those in the know this is actually a big concession.

Thank you for this Stephanie. All of the people at Lalande blend so perfectly together, all with their unique talents. We get to see a glimpse of this fabulousness and it cheers me enormously.

Thank you for the music, Cat and Maria. It's all about the people at Lalande, and Amaury and Maria are two great additions to the family.

Daniel Hammond

Someone please take pity on my ignorance and enlighten me as to who Daniel Preston was? I have not found a single 1920s Daniel Preston, but that does not mean there wasn't one! I loved your tiara worn flapper style Stephanie. In the 20s, the Duchess of York, later Queen Elizabeth and later still Queen Mother, used to wear her tiaras like that. Very becoming. Wonderful singing from Cat!

Hi Daniel. Daniel Preston is the gardener Dan. He came to the party as himself.

How lovely, And thanks so much to Cat and Maria for beautiful singing and sensitive accompaniment. I've been playing the Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila quite a bit recently (also Glinka) - great stuff. Thank you for continuing to provide such great 'behind the scenes' content <3 Love it!

My goodness, Cat & Maria, your performances were wonderful. It's just such a gorgeous piece and it gave me shivers.

If I can make a request: for the next beginning of the month update, could you film one where you systematically go through the goals you set on Patreon and the progress on each? It feels like it's been a while since we got to go through the checklist. It always feels like an accomplishment when we get to do that

Stephanie, you're just beautiful. One and a half year I've been your invisible friend, and I still adore your vlogs. Especially these ones, with music, dress ups, daily life and conversation. Maria plays thrills the way I like it on the piano, brava! Cat is fab and I so much enjoyed her singing the Russian song. Wish I knew the text (translated). Wonderful patreon vlog, thank you! x

Hi, that was lovely! One question, do you still film with your iPhone? I’ve never seen you use a camera or any special filming equipment like Dan and other YouTubers.

Anonymous

She only films with her iphone. with the new release of the iphone 13, her video will be even better!

Anonymous

So this proves you don’t need fancy or expensive cameras etc. to be a successful YouTuber. There’s so many out there asking fir funds to buy cameras and make “better” videos. Hmmm

Hi. Hello. I sent a message a couple weeks ago inquiring about renting a room at the Chateau and haven’t received a response. Sent it to the email address on the website. Just curious if there is another way of contacting the château for bookings? Thanks

I would love to see a tour of all the changes to La lande that has happened this year. There has been so much going on that it is hard to keep track of what has been finished or ongoing

dear Stepfanie, Natti, Philip .... We live in Denmark and love your YouTube channel and have been with it from the beginning. Will you help us write some good flea markets in your part of France that are worth visiting, preferably both outside and inside markets. Then we will be very grateful as we plan France's trip for the spring. may you all have a wonderful day. the best regards from Lone Denmark

Does anyone know if Steve and his wife have a vlog about their new chateau?

Is there going to be an Amaury Q&A video.. have we had a Phillip one yet?

Anna Ibarra

What a fun mix of entertainment for us to see. Behind the fun. I just love all these. What makes LaLande fun is this, a mix of good friendly gathering, but in costume.

What a fun party. Fantastic musical performance as well!

It is so nice to see the Chateau filled again with a fantastic motley crew of people again. cheers!

Could we have an update on the shutter dogs and china pantry floor please.

Anonymous

I think the longer mumzies is away the threat of her discipline is lessened. She needs to return and get the place back to her standards. :)

Ramon

Hi, I wonder if there's an update soon re loo, China pantry, kitchen, especially the new fridge, the room you wanted to paint purple and above all of course your bedroom/apartment . Is the new floor already finished? And what about your new window? And was there a proper tour of the finished attic? 🤔 Or did I miss it? Do you consider to hire more help/ workers since Matt and all the Ians obviously can't work night and day? Would be great to see progress on all the little goals like shutter dogs, which were a patreon goal long time ago. Another interview would be fun, too, those were always interesting - Phil, Dan, Dana and Amaury for example. Also I remember that you had plans to exchange doors/windows on regular basis-is this going to happen anytime soon? Would love to see you warm next winter 😊 Lots of questions but I kind of lost track and I don't know if I missed some videos😂

Is Nati's apartment getting a door out to the back? The framing looks like maybe that was denied by the commission?
