Does the new gardener know that in a few years he could own his own chateau and hav almost 500k followers on KZhead. Happens. 🤭
😂
This is the best comment ever!
❤😂😂❤
🤣
Wahahaha
Orange with pinks and purples go very very well together!
Marie loves Lancelot and visa versa…so cute together.
he adores her
I know he’s Phillip’s dog, but Lancelot has chosen his person, and it’s Marie :)
Stephanie, it must be a huge weight lifted off your shoulders knowing that the Chapel is safe, dry and looking magnificent.
Great to see Grant back! I remember when he built the pergola over the patio. He's so much fun to be around!
Grant brings a spark of Aussie energy to LaLande! What a wonderful experience for his daughter too.
Indeed, let's hope he sets up a designated bbq area to make it easier for M Potts' live-fire grilling and roesterkoek baking !
Ozzie Ozzie oh oh nice to see you the gran t. From another Ozzie in West Australia 🌏
The chapel is waaaay more beautiful than I knew. It’s slowly becoming a priceless jewel box. It’s actually breathtakingly beautiful. I hope you’ll give us a grand tour with slow camera work so we can drink it all in. And a tour often. Never get tired of seeing it. It’s so special.
Great to see Grant again... A lot of people have left their loving touches on Lalandé, Grant included ❤
Yes, something might actually get done now.
Grant is the behind scenes glue… another Lalaunder love that I wish I had on my farm!
I think that you traumatized Philip when you told him that this was your romantic getaway with him while you had your facial mask on!😂
Phillip's response to "Casper The Ghost has made an appearance;" ... so funny ! i cannot stop lol
ah, ah, mmhm.lost for words,
😂😂
That was absolutely hilarious. Philip captured it perfectly. 😮
Passion killer my ex said.😂
Can't decide which one had the best reaction, Phillip or Lancelot. Both my husband and I laughed out loud at Phillip's reaction. We don't get many laughs anymore, so thank you! Love Phillip's reaction to lots of things. Keep them coming!
Every time we see Marie she has Lancelot tucked under her arm 🥰
When I was a florist we use to often mix purple with orange. Orange net with purple ribbon
Stephanie: “I’m not sure about the orange and purple flowers together”! They are just perfect together! They are THE BEST together! - in any case, ALL flowers together are perfect! 💐🌹🌷🪻🌸🌼🌺
I never realized that the chapel on LaLand was so beautiful. It always seemed dark, crumbling and unsafe I couldn't understand why you wanted to restore it. Now I can't believe it is the same chapel and what a masterpiece of art. Everyone will want to get married there! It is breathtaking.
Dave seems so chill
Marie and Lancelot are such good buddies. ❤
Welcome back, Grant 🙂
Orange & purple do go together. They balance each other out. Colours directly opposite each other or colours that “contrast” each other are seen as complementary colours. I think it is a beautiful array of colours and flowers, Marie.🥀🌻
Dave is such a sweetheart, he’s always there in the background keeping everything ship shape. Thanks Dave! Lovely to see Grant back & his daughter. You will have loads of help now. We love your new gardener. It’s wonderful to see how the chapel is coming along. I love how vibrant the colours are. It’s such a labourer of love. 😊👍🏻❤️
Grant!! We missed you
All colours of flowers go together……💐💐💐💐
OMG Grant!! He is like one of the OGs! So cool he is back and his daughter(?) seems so lovely. Lancelot felt it immediately that she is a kind soul. And the flowers Marie are gorgeous 😍😍
Regarding the flowers... I love those pops of orange mixed in with those intense pinks.
It's great to see Grant (& his daughter) back. I can't wait to see what projects he gets involved in. Glad to see you feeling better. Looking forward to tomorrow's surprise.
I was having a bad day, then you introduced the new gardener and told the Amury story. I laughed so hard, I could just see him saying that. "You've been working for 12 hours, you have to stop mate!" 🤣🤣🤣 And his reply. You really cheered me up. Thank you. Love to you all.
What gave me a fit of giggles was Stephanie in her masque & the look on Phillips's face when Stephanie said 'We're going to have a romantic evening together' ...& his retort that she looked like a feminine 'Casper' the friendly ghost! Peals of laughter! Here's to a better tomorrow!
Wow, the chapel looks so beautiful already. Can’t wait to see it finished. It would be wonderful to see one get married in that beautiful Chapel.
...hopefully many ones!! 🙏🤴👸
Amaury and Nati are engaged, as are Phillip and Stephanie, so two weddings or even a double wedding will likely occur there in the future. And of course, Isabelle and Percy were married there several years ago.
Lovely flowers. Orange and purple go really well together. I wear them together all the time. They work on the colour wheel.
The counter top is beautifully designed and professional, well done cousin.
bravo! 👏 Amaury has all the best traits of a Master Craftsman. that counter is perfection.
Lancelot is a sweetie. He makes everyone happy.
I hope we will see more of John’s chateau. He has exquisite taste and so good manners!
I love, orange, pink, and purple together. And then to have it with green leaves is so beautiful. I use it in my drawing of flowers and birds all the time.
It's so nice Lalande is making it much more comfortable for your guest in every way possible. Dave has many talents. You are blessed to have another hard worker in the garden. Grant! Oh I wonder if he's going to build something new? Yay we get to see him around for a long time this season.
Yaaaaay! Grant’s back! With daughter. Looking forward to seeing what projects he completes - he’s a MACHINE! I can see this easing the pressure off Amaury, who can focus on some of his big projects. (Marie’s new kitchen work surface is GORGEOUS!) Dave - quietly fixing things in the background - working smoke alarms are vital, especially in old buildings like the chateau. Love these snippets!
Grant is amazing. Lovely to see him again
Yay, Grant!!! Wonderful seeing him back. Betting he's going to be helping Amaury. You are blessed with men named Dave/Davey. Gifts, both of them. The Chapel grows in beauty every time you take us in to see it. The work the artisans are doing is priceless. You are the least self-conscious person I know. Phillip's face as he gazed in combined love and bemusement at you wearing that face mask was priceless. Especially his reaction when you said, "A romantic weekend, darling." Cracked me up. Have a wonderful time at John's and Camal's.
I remember Grant getting the pergola up just in time for the wedding of Isabelle and Percy. 🇦🇺🌹
As a fellow Aussie, always love to see Grant representing Australia on our behalf.😊
I like the orange flowers with the purple flowers 😁
So pleased to hear Grant is back ❤
The Chapel is looking amazing. The orange flowers look gorgeous.
Please make more use of David's skills... So lovely to see him keeping up his work...
It has been sooo loooong since Grant has been back. Yay, Grant!!
Okay, here's me adoring the orange, as it gives such an unexpected and very sophisticated lift to that mass of pink/purple flowers! It complements the blue in the purple, and I love it.
Agree!
Lancelot is hilarious with John’s great big dog, so thrilled to see him. Grant back at the chateau representing us Aussies. Aussie Aussie, Aussie Oy Oy Oy.
Wow Dave is so talented! Such an asset to the chateau. Omg Grant! I didn’t read the title so this was a huge surprise! 🎉
I love those orange tulips. They match with the pink and purple.
Glad to hear about the smokealarms. It is very important.
I'm delighted to see Grant and Ella! He's a delight, and Ella will gain so much from a school term in another country - once they've rested from the travel!
Love Grant welcome back!
Kitchen looks amazing.
I remember Grant!! He was a real helpful guy putting up the terrace awning and shearing the sheep!
Oh!!! The ceiling with the stars looks beautiful!! Vibrant!!!
Welcome back Grant ❤❤❤So happy to see the ceiling with the stars in the chapel looking so good 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Dave is so amazing and so humble.
Grant is back! Cant wait to see what projects he will do at Lalande 🎉
The chapel is breath takingly beautiful.
Not fritillaries, it’s Cerinthe major. Save one and let it dry, seeds grow really well in the garden.
This ☝️
Great fun as always....great to see Grant again, AND his daughter! You are so amazing Steph....you knock spots off of all those fake people in celeb land.....how many would film themselves in bed, full of cold, wet hair, no makeup, foiled heads...using their spa thingy, and now IN A FACE MASK! Yet still looking beautiful! Hilarious.....Philip's face was a picture. I can't get over how fast the chapel is coming on. What talent. Sandi x
I must say Dave is so discreet and humble yet an absolute gem in the chateau. Did not know his IT history and it is an asset to have that knowledge at Lalande. Marie's flowers are just stunning. Happy to see John's chateau again. Phillip's facial expression on seeing your face mask Stephanie was priceless. ❤🤣👻
Orange can definitely work with purples and pinks. Loved that bouquet!
So lovely to see Grant back at la lande... Just love his good spirit😊
Yes orange does complement purple
Give the orange a try, Steph. It’s perfect with purples. Yay that Grant is back. He’s such a great bloke! His daughter will have a brilliant time, I’m sure. The nurturing and often hilarious company is such a tonic! Now those are proper bath sheets. 👏👏 they will be so appreciated. Love to you all ❤
It will be magnificent when complete. I so admire the attention to detail and care that each restorer takes. Well done, Stephanie
uh oh, the sheep are quaking
you're getting New Zealand mixed up with Aus 😅
Grant used to move the sheep by picking up two and carrying them upside-down on his shoulders. ❤
🐏💈💇🏼♀️ nothing that needs doing is safe with Grant around 😂
@@carolinegooder7091 oh okay ..you go Grant!
The chapel restoration is progressing well! Welcome back Grant, nice to see you again. Thanks for sharing your life with us Stephanie.🙏❤️
I love the combination of orange with pink and purple flowers, its a bright and happy combination xx
I like the new gardener’s work ethic, hope he can take a few more tea breaks throughout the day as the weather warms up❤ Romantic mask- hahaha Yay🎉 for Grant and Emma’s arrival🎉
Oh my God! We learned something about Dave! I want to know more!
always so nice to see grant - funny how attached we can get to people who come to see you all!
SO glad to see Grant again!!!!!!
Welcome back Grant! I hope Elle settles in and makes the most of such an amazing opportunity. Can’t wait to see what you get up to now that you’re back, hopefully takes the load off Amaury and projects can keep progressing!
I love y'all so much. Thank you for this fun day !
I think you’re mistaken, your new gardner is obviously Vincent van Gogh.
Oh, my, goodness, when I first saw you in the mask, it brought memories of when Robin Williams dunked his face in the meringue as Mrs. Doubtfire!. Lol !
I put one of those sheet masks on a few months ago and my gorgeous little Persian cat walked into the bedroom, shot 6 feet vertically in the air and somersaulted in shock 😮
Oh, your poor kitty! You gave it quite a fright. Funny and sad at the same time.@@tonisteiner5224
You gave your kitty quite a fright! That's a funny and sad story all at the same time. @@tonisteiner5224
Ooohhh love seeing all the new improvements all over the chateau
I love orange and purple together. Very happy colors.
Good morning from Gold Coast Australia!
Hi from Geelong, Australia!🇦🇺
The chapel is looking stunning, an over used word I know, but its perfect. So glad Grant is back, fantastic to have him about again.
Great to see Grant again! And I’m very glad that you’re back to health again Stephanie. 💪💪 Thank you so much for all the joy! 🫶💞🫶
Beautiful flowers, lovely guests and a puppy, what else would anyone want?❤❤❤❤❤
Hello new gardener ❤
Yay! Grant is back! Love the Aussie accent, so great to hear it. 🇦🇺 He is always so much fun too.
Thank you Stephanie for another wonderful vlog! John and Camille are excellent hosts and have a gorgeous Chateau! Welcome back Grant!
The look on Philip’s face when he saw the face mask! 🤣😂 I could see him thinking, ‘and it’s going out on the internet? 😱😱 At least you know have a ready made costume for Halloween. Good to see Grant again. He’ll sort out a few things at LaLande! 🤣
Welcome back, Grant!!
So nice to see Grant back. You picked a beautiful room, the dinner looked delicious. Philip , paraphrasing “ oh look, Casper’s step sister “ 😂😂😂😂 classic ❤❤❤
Amaury's work and creations are always extraordinary ! That additional workspace in the kitchen is genius and quite beautiful. He is a rare talent.
It's so great to see Grant back. Can't wait to see all the great work he's gonna be doing around there and he'll be there for a nice long time. Lots will be getting done.
Do the chapel artists sign their work in anyway?
I love the orange and purple flowers together! Very dynamic!
Loved What a delightful video, today! Loved seeing so many friends! John's honesty is hilarious. "I make nothing! I'm completely useless in the kitchen, but a very good cleaner." (I also, resemble that remark. He's not alone.) The new countertop in the kitchen is absolutely a work of art!
Grant ❤🎉❤ yay stuff is going to get done! 💪🏼 Love seeing him at Lalande
Lancelot has my heart with his new toy! What a mighty hunter he is! The chapel is beautiful, please light another candle for Ian when it is completed.
It is a thumbs up for Grant from a fellow Aussie 🫶
I had to do a triple blink!!!! Yay!!!!!!!🎉
Yay Grant is back … Aussie Aussie Aussie …. 🎉😊😂
I feel that it will be like entering a jewel box when you enter the chapel, even though the work is not finished, it is absolutely enchanting.
Is Grant going to do some major structural work?!
