  • I love the Chateau Diaries for multiple reasons and one of them is Dan. Steph, if you had not hired Dan, none of this would be happening. You and Dan, your friendship and laughter, are the best. You don't just make the Chateau bloom. You do the same with people. That is a very precious gift. So proud of Dan. Thank you for bringing him into our lives. Love to all the Lalanders. Keep on blooming.

  • I am joining several others who confessed that they have not commented before. I am quietly faithful - all likes checked, all adds viewed but no comments until today. I had to join the crowd in saying how delightful this Dan celebration is. The additional pleasure is in seeing all the favorite friends in one glorious vlog. Well done, Stephanie for all the joy you have brought. Well done, Dan for such a fabulous trajectory from the quiet man with garden tools to a one-man chateau restoration guru.

    • On Stephanie's channel he was different than on his. I remember at the beginning he rarely talked! Annalise would ask him what he was doing & he'd answer with as few mumbles as possible. You could Tell that he knew what he was doing (the complicated designed kitchen island) pointing, rendering, floor tiles, chandelier hanging -all of it- but rarely talking about any of it. NOW he is Highly Competent at Everything! I don't know why but Dan reminds me of the song "The Impossible Dream" !!!

BUT, I must say; that as the first channel I ever subscribed to; it warms my heart to see how Dan has remained part of not team Lalande BUT FAMILY Lalande!!!! It is so amazing to watch everyone's progress on their prospective Chateaus and to remember Dan joking while handing Stephanie's keys back to her after he "took over as the Chatelaine of Lalande" when Stephanie and Phillip had gone away and Dan had said he would NEVER want to own a Chateau. Nicely converted Stephanie, well done lol. It is amazing to see the amount of cross over support from everyone to all of your fellow Chateau owners. Well Done One And All! I can't wait to see everyone's continued progress!.

You could tell how much talent he had but didn't want to talk about it! The complicated kitchen island, pointing, rendering, floor tiling And getting that Great Big Chandelier into the room & up on the ceiling! By Himself! He took out a window!

  • Stephanie, thank you for honoring your remarkable friend and friendship with this fabulous look back at your history together. I echo the thought of another viewer that your channel was totally responsible for introducing Dan your global audience on Chateau Diaries. His can do attitude and commitment to putting heart and soul into everything he does, his winsome, unpretentious, yet playful personality just could not keep your followers from falling madly in love with and total admiration of this special human being, Dan the Gardner, Dan the Digger, Dan the Builder, Dad the Vloger, Dan the Shepherder, Dan the Chef, Dan the Man, Dan the Dad, and finally now Dan the Châtelain and nearly a one man chateau restorer. It seems Stephanie, that you have a way of gathering good people around you, and then aiding or inspiring them to bloom into the best version of themselves! Like thousands of others, I found you during the pandemic and was completely drawn into your world of chateau friends, chateau preservation, chateau parties, chateau visits to meet other chatelaines and chatelains. It’s been a captivating journey to meeting very captivating personalities, but no one more captivating than Dan the Man. Your tribute to his successful KZhead channel passing your 220K subscribers was brilliant! Great job being a cheerleader for all your many talented friends and Lalanders! You've truly been a gift to thousands of bored, discouraged people searching for something to brighten their landscape in the darkest days of current history. I never leave your vlogs without a smile and positive battery recharge. Thanks a million for sharing your life, love, and laughter, including your Thor and his brood, your sheep, cats, and of course your darling chickens, especially "Beethoven" and all the others with perky feathered crowns and fluffy feet! ❤🥰🤩

  • It's fun and quite emotional to see all these images from the past, how people have changed, how the gardens and courtyard have improved, huge work not only from Danny with his dry humour and wit, but also yours dear Stephanie and other Lalanders. Great video!

  • Thanks to all of you, laughing out loud is such a joy! Remembering all the old videos getting to the "newest Dan". Stephanie, you are being so gracious, both of you are amamzing! I loved his first night as a chef at the chateau, I was so happy he surprised you with his prowess. And it's only gone up and up since then. You all feel like my family in France. I'm sending warm hugs all around. Much love, PB
