At least you were never really alone. You had all of us!😅
🥰🥰🥰
Nothing screams typical Leland than an English lady sitting on a French train platform, in her Chinese dress, eating Japanese snacks, whilst waiting for her Dutch fiance and his German dog.
😂
The domino effect of disaster was handled like a zen master Steph. I’ve been in that situation for the past few months and got to the point where I shouted at the universe…’Bring it on universe…. Try and break me …. Just try!’ There comes a point where you realise that ‘the only way round is through’. Attitude is everything.
Taking a chance lifting that adorable dog over your head, Stephanie! Hadn't he just been sick in the car? He's the best!
Your window urgently needs paint and fresh caulking. You don’t want the wood to rot. It’s easy to do. You can do it yourself.
Yes, I thought that too. I particularly like the way Billy Petherick repaints his windows using silicone instead of putty and then adding wooden beading over the glass. Easier and a better waterproof seal I feel.
Spring is officially here, Amaury has his shirt off 🤣🤣
Good thing the video was short - you only needed to look positive for a shorter time. I would have give up, and probably would have exclaimed 'oh, stuff the audience - I'm going to bed'. Well done, and welcome home. Sleep well!
So happy you extended us a view of your journey to Japan, and your adventure back again. You're never lost when with friends.
You had a planes, trains and automobile experience. It happens to the best of us. Glad you are back home after sharing your trip.
It tickles me to see Stephanie loving on Lancelot after being adamant about not wanting a dog. Your heart has been changed.
Welcome home. Nothing like a vacation trip, but even better coming home.
Glad Stef is back home and safe. That was a great vacation and thanks for taking us with you. Now Rest.
Thank you for letting us know you’re finally home safe.
What a whirlwind of a trip home for you Stephanie! Thank you so much for taking us along...you are the best vlogger!
Mercury retrograde in full effect! You handled it fabulously ❤
It was a thoroughly enjoyable trip with you to Japan, China and back, I wouldn't. have seen these places at all. I am very much an armchair traveller. Thank you.
It’s easy to say your journey home was a disaster but you’re safely home now❤
Thank you Stephanie for completing the journey!! Would have been so lost as to what happened with you if you just showed up at LaLande.
Wow, so much trouble getting back. How strange is that? Glad to see you finally made it back. That must have been an expensive cab ride!
I’m glad you finally made it home. Enjoy your sleep 🥰
I admire your resilience. Home sweet home. No place like home.
A shocker of a last leg home for you Stephanie. But rewarded with burgers & a beautiful garden. Excited to see the fountain go back on.
Im so glad we got to be part of your day. 🤗🦋
Why didn't you call Marie and ask her to pick you up in her car?
Aww, Stephanie, so glad you eventually got home safely! - there’s no place quite like it!
I didn’t think Phillip looked very impressed with the lovely umbrella x
maybe he was just disappointed it wasn't a samurai sword! 😋
@@RinaValentina yes maybe x
I loved that umbrella! Quality!
He had had troubles with the dog and the car and was probably tired
I was thinking the same, but then I remembered how awkward I am at receiving gifts. Let alone without any cameras 😅 And perhaps after seeing her vlogs in Japan, he will understand a bit more why it's special. After all, Japan DOES love umbrellas! (I live there)
Glad you were able to FINALLY get back home! So sweet to see how happy Lancelot was to see you! Did enjoy watching your journey!😊
You’re wearing the dress you bought in Guangzhou! It suits you soooooo well!!!❤
Of course she is, her luggage got sent to Paris
Molly never far from her daddy😅😸😽
Glad to see you have your priorities right. Puppy greetings first then humans. Same in our house. Teacup Yorkie, pug and cat first, then the people. So glad you're home safe and sound after your adventures. 😊
You dancing in the kitchen is everything!!!💜💜
Not just any dancing, Dirty Dancing at that! 😄
When you travel it’s always feels so great to sleep in your own bed…Glad to see you relaxed and at home..❤🎉
There is no place like home!❤️ Enjoy your weekend Stephanie!
I don’t know how Lancelot keeps his tail waging so fast for so long. He was so excited to see you back, and to see the fountain cleaning.
So glad you finally made it home. Blessings.
Welcome home safe and well ❤️🩹🎉xxx
So lovely of you to film an extra vlog so we could get home with you❤❤❤
There’s nothing like a welcome home full of love, even if delayed! What an incredible trip. Thank you for sharing it!
A relief to see you home safe Sorry to hear about the car Enjoy your homecoming and reunion with your friends
Now that was an adventure. Welcome Home Stephanie 😘
Oh dear !! It’s a pity I didn’t see your video in time, because I wasn’t working yesterday and I was on Châteauroux and I live near Sainte-Sévère... I would have gladly picked you up at the station and brought you back to Crozon.
C’est très gentil à vous!
What a generous offer!
I was so worried about you, I'm glad you made it home.
There is no place like home. Lalande is unique.
I very much like your acceptance of minor setbacks in life and remaining positive with patience. These attributes will serve you well throughout life. BTW, Lancelot is adorable. Take care, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Wonderful to see you safely at home! Sweet dreams. Your kitchen soundtrack was perfect.
You spent so much time and effort creating the English Garden, you would give it a little TLC
Glad you are home safe, hugs , thanks for letting me tag along ♥️
Clearly this proves: "There is no place like home." Dorothy & Toto Welcome Home!
Thank goodness you are home, and what a positive attitude!
Ah to be home again! Truly a wonderful thing. I believe there are always reasons for our delays but arriving at home finally is the best!
Thank you for taking us along Stephanie! Such a delicious pleasure.
So glad you are back home safe and sound.
So glad you are home Steph❤
Finally home, what a journey Stephanie. You took it in stride and carry on like a beautiful swan.
I am so happy that you are home safe ❤
Bienvenue à la maison!!! What a deep and restful sleep you will have! Thank you for taking us all along with you on your adventures...as always :) Rest well, Stephanie. À bientôt!
Welcome home, Stephanie 🥰
Yeah! Stephanie’s home safe!
Thank you Stephanie. A short video is no problem as long as you’re ok. Glad you’re back safe and sound xxxx
What an amazing experience you've had, I'm in awe of your placid acceptance of every problem you had! Wonderful to see Japan and China through your eyes too. 😊❤
An epic adventure, Stephanie, you'll recount that journey many times. Bet it can't be beaten. How on earth did you stay so calm??
Oh, my goodness! But thank you for taking us along.
Welcome home
Hello. Welcome home!
Thank you for taking all of us on your amazing trip to Japan (and China - although that was not planned 🙈). I really admire how you kept your nerve faced with the adversities on your trip back to France! You kept calm and carried on! 😊 Happy you made it back in the end!
AMEN!! So glad you are finally home safely. Now get some rest❤
Reminds me of the film 'Trains, Planes and Automobiles'. 😂
I'm so glad you made it home safe and sound. You had a wonderful adventure and you kept a brave face on the whole thing. I think some of us were worried about you. That was a hard journey. May you have pleasant dreams and only see this comment on Sunday after many many hours of rest and love from your family.
Ahhh home sweet home. Glad you made it back safely.
You will need another vacation to recover from this adventure. Sleep well Stephanie.🙏❤️
😉😂🤣
Welcome home Stephanie! Loved traveling with you, so much so that I feel like I have jet lag too! Enjoy your weekend! xox
Thank you for sharing the final happy end! You being so exhausted! 😇
I've waited until I could binge watch the whole trip, what a fantastic journey. You are much braver than I when it comes to food. So glad that you made it home safely. The Umbrella you bought for Philip is a wonderful gift. I had one many years ago, I had it a long time before someone walked off with it out of my office at work. They aren't cheap but worth every penny. I bought mine through an import shop in Toronto.
We love you Stephanie. Glad you are home safe and sound.
I'm so glad you made it home. Get some rest.
So lovely to see your little family walking towards you on the platform to get you 💜💙💜
There's no place like home. 💝
Welcome Home!❤
I am glad you got home safely. Plenty of rest now after that epic adventure.
Always so enjoy your videos. Your time in Japan and China was delightful. Thank you.
I’m so glad you are home safe, have a good rest
Glad you made your way safe and sound back in France. Sad you encountered another ....... Oh well you were reunited with your two sweethearts ❤
Phew! home! what a relief!
Ohhh, Steph!!!! You are indeed a trooper👏🥰 I'm so glad that you've finally made it home to your loved ones... Whew!!! What a journey, but an adventurous one, need I say more💖 You do have a restful night and weekend as well 🥰❤😘
Welcome home, Stephanie! Glad you arrived safe and sound.
You are an amazing woman, not many people could maintain their equanimity with all the travel travails!
It was an amazing trip. Thank you SO much for sharing everything and especially the stories and history of each location! Truly beautiful!
quite the trip home.
You must be so relieved to get home and back to your own bed. I am happy to see you safe and well. Sleep tight. 🙂
And you have a lovely, lovely recuperation from all you globe trotting and gallivanting! Glad to see you not stressing about that which you cannot control. The list of the uncontrollables was growing as you headed home. Rest, eat healthy, take walks, and settle back in to the joys of being home.
Have a good rest Stephanie. Thankyou for shaing your wonderful trip with us. ❤

Stephanie, you seem to thrive on whatever life throws at you! I REALLY enjoyed this week’s travel vlogs!! Thank you so much for ‘taking us along!!’ I would not have been as brave or as confident as you but as you said, you’ve travelled a lot! Hope you sleep night and most of the day!! 💐🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
