MUTINY AT LALANDE!
I'm allowed out of hospital and am super happy to return to the chateau - not realising that I would be faced with a mutiny! The other inhabitants all gang up on me and stop me from working for a whole week AND force me to go on regular walks. The rascals! Whilst I'm on a vlogging ban, Philip takes over the filming and editing...

I love Kat’s stats
She’s a natural comic- that was truly hilarious!
That was really funny.
I really laughed while she was talking.
Great to see Kat!
That was the best part!
Selmar brought some beautiful flowers from the garden , in Stephanie’s fav colour yellow. So sweet.
He is such a gentle soul ❤️❤️❤️
Sowers and thoughtful 🇨🇦💗
Darn spell check LOL meant so sweet and thoughtful
Selmar has o be one of the sweetest and kindest souls I know. The animals sure think so.
Stephanie you definitely need to do less and if Isabella was there she would certainly make sure that you adhered to REST ! nothing is worth being ill and it is time to prioritise yourself and your well being, Patreons will NEVER desert you ever nor will the wonderful team that you have around you, but what a worry for Mummy, Percy and Gerry,, they will be beside themselves. So big hugs all round. Take care we are all concerned, we all want to see the girl we love Well and Happy.
As before,rest and recover.Great vlog team!
Hi Jo I agree with you, Stephanie needs to take it easy we will all be there to support her once she is 100 percent Lots of love to all Spero
@@sperovillioti8692 Dear Spero, Thankyou so much she is a very special girl as you all see, I so appreciate that she has found such a lovely friend in you and I shall embrace watching the friendship and encouragement grow between you both, you too are such kindly lovely souls who are on exactly the same path throughout life and it is such pure Joy to witness Spero xxx God bless and Thankyou xxxx
💗💖💗💖💗💖💗💖💗
Amen to that!💐
So glad Phillip Natalie selmar and Marie are there to help Stephanie get well soon , she is so dedicated to putting out these wonderful vlogs that for many of us have been such a wonderful escape and a life line in all the grief and loss many of us have experienced in this Covid time Thank you Stephanie and lalonders for all the joy you bring to us xxxx🇨🇦💗💗💗💗
Very true and so agree too👍😘😍
@@thelmanijman1116 it amazing even when she is so sick she’s a lovely person 🇨🇦😎
Here! Here!
I wholeheartedly agree Sharon. Steph has ensured our well-being thru her blogs during the pandemic, now it’s her turn to be looked after and the La Landers will do just that. Get well soon Stephanie and follow doctors orders and let others pamper and look after you for a change. Best wishes from Neil in Australia
@@neilchisholm797 so true Neil she is always so positive and has uplifted us all through this awful time Wising you well :)
Why did I cry when I saw Gerry and Isabella and Percy? I wish they were with Stephanie.
Me too!!! ❤
Me too!
And me 😀
Me three🥰
Oh heck, now we are all crying. Cheers LaLanders.
Meu sobrenome Heck.
Semar brought daffodils and forsynthia how lovely what a sweet man🇺🇸❤
Stephanie, Clearly, you’ve built such a strong chateau diaries brand and culture that “the crew” can step in and create a video that is spot on! This means that you can step back now and then and let others takeover, Now to tackle the workaholic in you. 🤣😉 Congratulations on your success! Hope you feel better soon! ❤️
I think she said in yesterday’s post, Phillip was editing this video. I’m glad he’s there to help her give us our “fix”, while she is still recovering.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yes and hoping she'll trust him to do more things while he's there. Personally, I think he should stay long term. His work ethic is solid. He finishes things asap, very focused.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 And Philip and I agree on everything it’s uncanny. He needs to be a permanent fixture and is so talented in SO MANY THINGS!
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 yes I agree
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 yes I agree
" I feel like you've been out walking the dog" I almost lost my tea.
I loved this comment about walking the dog! It was lovely to laugh out loud. Bravo, Philip! You are right to 'guard' Stephanie. She must try learn to slow down even just a little, especially while she is recuperating. x
I'm glad you bought the t pot beautiful 😍
Ha, glad to hear that everyone has actually forced you to rest and relax! AND ESPECIALLY go for little walks! Especially if it's in your beautiful woods. The tranquility of nature is exceptionally healing; body, mind & soul!
Yes with Selmar
I just re-watched the video, I am so worried for you, Stephanie, I can see you are not well, I do hope you have good doctors to take care of you properly!!! Please do all you can to get well!!! Oliver made me cry!!!! He is so right about you! I always admired your determination, the way you stayed in the cold or extreme heat, in a car, for hours, to upload! The strength, to continue doing this!!! You deserve so much admiration and respect for that!!!! Lots of love from Ireland!
I am very worried to , l am sorry but l have to say it. P,ease dearest Stephanie take care take the advise of all the people that love you and want you better soon, Natty and Phillip can take over even that it is not like you do it . It was delighful to watch all yours and ours dear ones wishing you well and see their dears faces smiling at you. It was very mouving for all of us. Cannot wait for Cat to come back we miss her so much, like always she is so very funny. A big big hug dear Stephanie and to all the LALANDE PEOPLE , thankyou so much for this excellant video.
If I don't get my hedgehog YOU don't get a giraffe......Yes boss
Remember you are charged with the camera work Philip. Stephanie needs be on camera.
Philip, what a Godsend. Many thanks.
Oh my gosh - that 200 vlog surprise made me cry 😭! Stephanie and her extended family have brought me, and I’m sure so many other people, such joy and happiness. Thank you so much Stephanie for letting us into your life and sharing your life, family and friends and love ❤️ ❤️ ❤️. It seems funny to say this never having met any of you but it’s so easy to develop great affection for you all. Here’s wishing that Henri’s desire to bring only good things to the people at LaLande continues for a very, very, very long time to come.
Made cry too 🥺😢😭
I’m crying Like a baby. Stephanie I know this not is not original but I started to following you Chanel religiously since the advent calendar with Michel and even since every time you upload a video my day stop, I get my tea and escape reality. Actually you made me refocus on my career and get back to my original goal. Isabel made me love again gardening, actually that made me stay strong during lockdown, same as Selma that inspire me to re do all my house (now I’m re plastering my kitchen ceiling and changing the backsplash.) thank all of you for your help and to make me find happiness again. Lot or love and get well soon 💕
What a lovely Chateau Diary today. Stephanie, you stay well. You've made a lot of people into believers -- believers in kindness, beauty and goodness and not afraid to say it. Thank you. Congratulations to all of you at Lalande.
That's the smartest mutiny I've ever read about. Guess you've been working yourself halfway to a heart condition, Stephanie, so you better take the orders you've given - or maybe you have to walk the plank! Look forward to watching Phillip's vlog. HUGS!
Thought the same
Thanks so much for showing the seedlings, glad they are coming on. Don’t forget your sweet peas are safe from the mice in cocktail corner and there are loads of pea seedlings upstairs on the window ledge outside Roger and at the top of the stairs xxx
Nice work Jenni!
Are there mice in cocktail corner?
OLIVER made me cry. So precious. Good friend indeed. KAT Is a hoot! Lol Beautiful flowers from Selmar & marie & lovely Natty holdingthe fort. GRANT! XOXO So much LOVE at LaLande.
Yes me too
I was really rooting for that teapot 😂💕
Yeah Lalande for coming along side and keeping Stephanie safe!!! You are a wonderful crew and are truly a united family who love and care for the well being of each other. You are all so special!! Thank you from all of us for taking care of this very special lady!! Stephanie...REST!!! Philip will do a wonderful job, you are in good hands with all the wonderful people who live there so....drink tea, eat a few treats, go for walks and enjoy all of God's beautiful creation that is around you!! You are blessed and are a blessing to many of us who watch your vlogs. Much love from a Canadian grandmother....xoxo
Omg Kat’s clip had me dying. 😂
There is so much love in this video 💛 From the people who live at the chateau, to the volunteers and the viewers, Lalande has become the home of a very loving community!
Absolutely agree💗
Nice to see Gerry, Oliver and Cat again
So glad you are home Stephanie. I know you only through your wonderful You Tube videos, but because you are so open and your heart is so kind, I feel as though we are friends!! I have been concerned for your well-being and am very relieved you are out the hospital and at home surrounded by your friends and family. I so look forward to watching your latest videos and continue catching up with past shows. Take care of yourself and let others take care of you too! Hoping to visit one day but until then, I will continue to enjoy watching.
Poor Stephanie 😢. What’s been wrong with her? Covid?
What an accomplishment. There are thousands of us who were kept sane during lockdown because of you and the Lalanders. Congratulations!
Oh my - Kat is HILARIOUS!!!
I am so pleased to see the whole of LaLandeirs are taking special care of our Stephanie, did I spot a CLUE in your hospital draw along with the teabags and shortbread. That’s what caused your hospitalisation the dust from kicking your wall down!!! Do take care, now, we need you around and healthier, loving the bantam lavender!! Well done Selma walking this pretty Chuck. WCL
The inhaler!
Is Stephanie asthmatic? I do not recall her saying that in any of her videos....I know she is allergic to cats...But anyway, I screamed at the screen when I saw her hitting the wall without a mask....all of them actually need to be more careful, I said that in my comments over and over again
Oh my goodness....I am crying.....that was such a wonderful episode.
Me too 😢🥰🏰happy tears xx keep safe and well Stephanie xx🥰🏰💐
What can I say an appearance from the funny beautiful kat come back soon we miss you x
Phillip you did a great job with the vlog! It was a lovely ending too!🎬👏👏👏🤩
I agree with Oliver. You give so much more to us than you can believe! Love you all!💞💓💞
Thank you Phillip for stepping in and looking after Steph, you did such a great job!
I must say: I Miss Cat!! When is she coming back? Cat, where are you?
Stuck in the UK because of COVID.
Chateau La Lande needs her back! 🥸
Sweet of Selmar! Your are so loved by us and your LaLand family. Enjoy this time of rest! XXxx
I miss Cat too! Hopefully they will open the border soon so we can enjoys seeing her again!
Loved this Vlogg as I wipe tears along with the ladies of Lalande it was Mummies loving words ! Keep resting Stephanie get well wishes from Ireland.
🍷🍷The marriage between Stephanie and the Chateau cannot be a better match. She's the ultimate chatelain. Congratulations Stephanie and to all the Lalande tribe.
That was funny when you realised Phillip was walking the dog 🤣 Get well soon 😘
It must be so wonderful to have such friends that insist on looking after you. That’s the kind of person you are Stephanie to inspire such caring in others.
Glad you are feeling better Stephanie. You popped up in my mind throughout the week. Phillip you are an angel!! Thank you for all you do! Jeanine Marie
Ok, Oliver made me cry.
I totally got teary when the volunteers/friends video started! It’s just so beautiful this crazy family you’ve built.
Get well Steph! Lovely to see Kat making you laugh. So glad you are well looked after.
Sometimes things like this happen to make us realise that we can delegate. This little episode has brought to the forefront the strength and professionalism of the great people you are surrounded by. By the way I too had a tear in my eye!!
These people I do not know and yet my heart rejoices. Lalande has become like a dreamland, a secret haven in my heart where everyone is kind, generous, pleasant, cooperative, positive and nurturing, improving, beautifying, creating.. thank you so much. Please get well. The world needs the one who's brought the paradise of Lalande to the world. 🌼🌼🌼🌻🌻🌻🏵🏵🏵
Oh my goodness!! By the end of the special "200 Vlogs" video messages to you, Steph, I was crying my eyes out! So many of us around the world have been touched by your passion, enthusiasm, kindness, humour, and intelligence. You have been an inspiration to so many. Thank you for all that you do. With much love from one of your most loyal Patrons, Cathy from Victoria, B.C., Canada. P.S. I fully endorse the intervention by Nati, Marie and Phillip. One week of enforced rest, relaxation and walks in the sunshine (or rain, if you prefer!).
I cried too! All of those beautiful, familier and loved faces in the video really got to me. It's so true what they said. You have touched so many people all over the world by sharing your life and all of it's ups and downs. Fortunately the ups far out number the downs. I am one of those people you have brought joy too and helped me to get through the tough covid restrictions. Thank you to you and to all of those people who have helped make Chateau Diaries and Chateau Unwrapped such wonderful videos to watch. Get well soon and listen to your many nurses.
Hope she’s all better!! I would love to see outtakes from previous vlogs anytime she needs a day off, too:)🤗🌞🌈
Philip deserves 100 hedgehogs
Haha yes! What a legend.
Like a thousand swans?
I think we should all send hedgehog items for his birthday. :) It would so make his day!
And a mouse to go wit hose hedgehogs
We should as phillip to create his own youtube channel for the animals
Love you all so much.. thank you.
Oh I miss Gerry so much, I can’t wait till he can return. I hope you’re going well Gerry. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
So happy you are home and with your great friends and support team to ensure you rest and recuperate. Excited for the orchard and all the spring renovations and planting going on. We miss and are so happy to be able to view the messages from so many great people we met through your vlogs. Thank you Stephanie for inviting us in to your world there and all the wonderful things we learn from you and those at Lalaunde. You truly have been my escape this past year as I am on the front lines in this Pandemic and work in a nursing home. We lost so many (including a coworker) and to step away from all that for a moment has been so therapeutic. It was such a gift to be uplifted and I recommended your channel to coworkers, friends, and family because of what you all brought into my life. Rest now and please follow the doctor's orders. You have such amazing goals for this gorgeous Chateau and area in France. We can't wait to see what is to come. :)
Best wishes and prayers for your restored health. Whatever the Doctors say, please do. Hugs from Houston Texas.
No one is really sure if they like the Art Deco Tea Pot, Jug & Bowl, I love when Stephanie said 'It would look really nice in an art deco apartment SOMEWEAR!!!!'
That tea set is “Jolie- laide”
Yes, I don’t know about “Art Deco” as it has those tacky flowers stuck in the middle. I think Philip needs to be a little less demanding. I don’t care for him telling Stephanie what she can and can’t have! Stephanie is so kind and it is she who is the chatelaine.
Best video ever, Stephanie take your vitamins and iron, zinc, eat and stay hydrated, plenty of fluids!!! Go to the health store and see what they have that works with your meds!!! I am so happy to see everyone assisting you!!! Thank you to all LaLanders!!! Have a blessed week!!!
So much joy and love for each other!!!! Stephanie, I am so glad you followed your heart. Blessings to you for good health as you are surrounded by your precious family of friends who love you. Peace be with you. ❤️
Yes! Vitamins, minerals, and REST for goodness sake! Blessings to all of you La Landers!
The video at the end also brought me to tears......such a rich memory of where you started from Stephanie....your tenacity certainly paid off for all of us. You have no idea how you really did bring love, laughter and joy to so many around the world especially during the global shutdowns ....you certainly helped me and gave all of us something else to think about and see through your well thought out and entertaining and beautiful vlogs. Thank you and congratulations on your 200th Vlog. You are well loved!! Love from Canada xoxo
Wishing you a gentle and fully restorative recovery Stephanie. Thanks to the rest of you lovely people for being the support team to us all, but especially to Stephanie, and for keeping the show on the road. Sending love from South Africa to all.
I was so relieved to know that you were coming home from the hospital, Stephanie! And bless all your wonderful friends at Laland for ensuring that you actually rest and recover for a week! What a lovely suggestion from Richard! The video was so heartwarming and emotional! Congratulations to everyone who has worked and lived and contributed to the success of “The Chateau Diaries”! Hooray for 200 vlogs!!🎊💕
Congratulations to Phillip for stepping in to help so Stephanie can get well!
I’d say one of the most meaningful video. It shows us all what we can achieve when we dream in something bigger. Also that friends make us who we are.. Happy you are getting better dear Stephanie 💯💞
I love that teapot set!
Yeah I didn't get all the debate. Art deco is a strange and different art, with masculine lines.
Happy for this vlog. Good for the mutineers. Thank you Philip and all. Stephanie, sleep, pet the cat and dog, eat healthy, sort of, watch and read fun stuff. Get well. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Phillip, Love the teapot! The shape is very unique and pansies are my favorite which the flowers appear to be! Very reasonably priced!
So glad to see you up and around at home. what a wonderful thing everyone toasting you and the vlog. I laughed so hard at Kat. Leave it to her to come up with the statistics. How perfect to see old friends. Just what the doctor ordered. Wish you could have the giraffe just like in Nairobi. Continue to get better. Love from Houston
That 200th vlog celebration was very touching and tear-inducing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you rebuild your health and continue inspiring so many of us.
Congratulations! I remember when I first found you at least two years ago how there weren’t nearly as many subscribers but I’ve enjoyed every single one, especially during this last terrible year. Being at risk and having to be closed in nearly every day since a year ago February I’ve looked forward to every video. I haven’t always commented but I’ve been here and liked every one. Now you need to rest and take care of you , so we will be able to see many more. 🥰🙋🏼
I love the two last years and the lockdown when there was just Mummy and Stephanie then Selmar come ...... I never miss a video it was so relaxing and calming , never stop watching since . It was always interresting and brought us a lot of joy and laughter, your enthusiasm is catching and we were captivated from the beginning.
Kat is just the best!
Hi Lalanders 👋thank you so much Philip for a well done job editing this vlog. Couldn't wait to see this Mutiny at Lalande😍😜 Everybody seeing that you stay in bed and rest. Coz u really need it Stephanie and to recuperate your energy. We are all happy that you're back home. Take care and be safe.. 💛💝💜💖💚🧡
I'm stuck in bed with a broken knee cap and if it wasn't for your blogs I don't know how I would survive. I hope you know how many people you help by doing this? I am so grateful. You have made the unbearable bearable. From every part of my being thank you!
Wrap yourself in all those "feel good moments" Stephanie and you will be well in no time, thanks to all your LaLande nurses.
I'm watching these in January of 2023 so I know Stephanie recovered. It was so lovely to see her friends step in to take care of her. And I was tickled to watch the interchange between Philip Marie and Nattie. He had the right sense of taste with that Art Deco tea set. In fact as soon as I saw it all lined up I was ready to buy it and I don't even like Art Deco. It's just adorable. Pairing it with the silver tray and those blue tinged glasses, absolutely gorgeous. So glad to see Stephanie agreed.
I cried right along with Nati & Marie. That was an absolutely fabulous job! And honestly Stephanie you do need rest. It made me exhausted right along with you-those really late nights, I did some of those in my earlier years.. Michael got it spot on! He said exactly what you’ve done. Rest, let everyone wait on you. Be sure to get a loud whistle so when you need something, just blow it really loudly.
I wasn’t expecting a video today as you’ve been so unwell. But I’m so so grateful for one thank you 🙏🏼 it brought a tear to my eye seeing your congratulations video. Especially seeing Oliver, he’s such a special and cherished friend of yours. It’s so nice to see so much genuine love and care returned to you that you always spread to everyone in your life. Thank you for opening your home to us ♥️ get well soon. Much love!
Take your time.Get well. We are all here from around the world rooting for you!
What an amazing achievement, what an amazing tribute to our wonderful Stephanie! X Thank you.
Blessings to all ohh I was in tears happy ones of course! Bless Selmar friendly giant! Looking good without the beard! Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝
Praying for your health, Stephanie, congratulations 🍾🥂 on 200 episodes!
So very happy to see you back home, Stephanie and also relieved that Philip, Nattie, Marie and Selmar are there to "lay down the law" to keep you on a successful road to recovery!! I have watched the video celebrating your 200th vlog twice now, and am going to start the entire video again. I, too, had tears running down my cheeks toward the end. You have achieved something epic, Stephanie!! Well Done!!! USA
Phillip is the sweetest and so helpful and caring to Stephanie.
I cried too at that 200th vlog celebration video! So many of us would agree with every sentiment shared.
Emmmmh I think there isn't enough Selmar in this vlog for my taste. ❤️
Oliver's entry made me emotional. Have been watching since last year, and even in that time there have been massive changes! Feel better soon and congratulations on your milestone.
Everyone said all the wonderful things that I would loved to have said. It was good to hear from Mummy and Percy too.
That made me cry! 🥲 You so deserve your success. Very pleased to see everyone is taking care of you, and please don’t feel you need to share your health details, you give so much of yourself you should keep something’s for you. 🥰xx
Philip has such amazing style and taste. That Art Deco tea set and tray as he presented it to Stephanie looks amazing. So thoughtful 👌👍
So happy you bought the tea set, Philip!
Great job Philip! 😁😁 you should be proud! 😉👍
200vlogs WOW! YOU are amazing Stephanie! Thank you, please please take care of you 💝💕🇸🇪
Selmar shaved his glorious BEARD! I had planned on sending some nice beard oil.... Happy you are feeling better, Stephanie!
That made me cry too! Good job Stephanie for being so persistent and tenacious. Get well soon sweetheart!
Kat is hilarious 😂
You've got wonderful friends to Love you back to health.
Yeah! Stephanie must be better! Thank goodness! I have been so worried!
Oliver was so right! You bring happiness to so many people! Your videos are the highlights of my weeks. Thank you for all you have done and get well soon! 😘
Omg, I love Cat. She has such a good sense of humor.
Get well soon stephanie...I'm addicted to your vlogs now. You all have so much fun all the time. 😁!! And every home needs a selmar and diesel !! He is such a gentleman, and little diesel is such a faithful pooch, he's so gentle just like selmar! Thank you for making me laugh all the time, kat had me in stitches with her list..... And by the way, Scotman needs his own comedy show!! He is So funny! Thank you all...
Rest Steph! We all love you and want you feeling your best soon!
Aww the yellow flowers from Selmar are so pretty and well arranged. It’s so nice to see everyone pitching in to help Stephanie. You have great friends Stephanie. Thank you Philip for editing. Well done!
With 30 years of mommy experience, I thought last week that your eyes seemed different and I wondered if you were coming down with something. I am so happy that you are resting. We so enjoy yr program but please take care. We are barging July 2023 and perhaps will go chateau hunting! Will come to stay with you then! Take care, rest and get well!
