Could those berries have suffered a better fate, than being snatched from the table, and eaten with secretive giggles and pure joy by those two happy, little boys, hiding under the picnic table on a warm summers day, while the air is full of happy voices of the adults, laughing nearby? I think not 😂 Everyone knows, that stolen fruits taste the sweetest 😂😂😂
Let me just say, I thoroughly enjoyed your comment, it’s poetic even!
@@UltraHanisah Thank you 🙂 When they said, what had happened to the berries, I just instantly "saw" the whole scenario in my mind, and thought, what an amazing memory to share with your brother 😂
So lovely to see you visiting Dan and seeing Annalise and the boys and Davy.
I love that the boys got the berries 😂
Wee rascals 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😂😅😂❤
You mean Thomas 😅😂
Oh Yes ! they saw he had Red Lips., So funny .
Is that blood!!! That was funny
I’m sure I’m not alone in saying how heartwarming it was to see Annalise at the BBQ, one can but wish, but just seeing them as a family group is pure heaven ❤
Fingers crossed. ❤
I agree, Dan and his lovely family together again ❤❤
I 1000% agree!!❤
🤞
Even if not together as a couple it’s great to see them as a family. Remaining friends, Putting the kids first, being great parents.
It's wonderful to see Dan, Annalise and the boys hanging out together.The dining table is a work of art! All lovely!
I thought so as well
Me too its nice all dans family together more please xx
The dining room table is always so well composed! I look forward to seeing it. Is there a plan to reupholster the chairs, by any chance?
Why not? There be forever a family. Even when the parents are not a couple.
Yes I'm so delighted
Wedgewood is a beautiful name for the peachick, regardless of gender.
Good seeing Dan having some chill time. Great seeing Annalise and kids at the chateau.
Ditto.
I loved seeing them doing thing's together . It is so good for the boys
I still want them back together
It was lovely seeing Davey so relaxed and having fun. Bless you Marie. How fun was the card game/Jenga/ truth or dare!
Oh Valerie, they were never married. They were partners. And their personal lives really aren't anyone's business but theirs.
I am glad to know that the boys still have a healthy streak of mischief when it comes to getting into the yummy stuff of life! Who remembers when they were very small and got into something chocolate and very messy that was in the fridge while Dan and Annalise were doing remodeling work? It was so nice to see them and Annalise there with everyone at the picnic! I must say that Phillip’s table was MARVELOUS and Maria’s food looked SPECTACULAR on it! The napkin rings couldn’t have looked more perfect than in this setting! ❤
And Marie's flowers looked lovely and the colors were a great complement to those of the food.
@@lindascott2008 Agreed!
I love how Davey and Marie were so fun and relaxed together 💕✨
Davey is relaxing in front of the camera. I love it.
Davey is a very nice and talented man. It's really great to see him back.
I noticed that too 😊
It was lovely! Always love seeing Davey.
LOVE HAVING DAVIE AND MÀRIE BACK.
I think Marie’s dare should be to make a centerpiece made of only wild greens.
Thank you for calling Dan at midnight to see if he was alive! His many mothers on his channel gave him hell the next day - as we do whenever he seems unsafe. You, however, can get there and provide assistance! Such a great barbeque with Annaliese and the boys as a surprise!
Mother's? All of these georgeous beautiful women😳❤️😍
Stephanie, can you believe how your garden has filled in and grown....it is so beautiful. Well done Davy on such a beautiful design. It is so bountiful and beautiful with all of the different flowers and fruits. It was so nice to see Dan, Annalise and the boys all together....what a wonderful meal and day you had. Thank you Stephanie for this very uplifting vlog!!
Was so nice to see Annalise and the boys with Dan ❤
Great to see Davey, it must be very gratifying for him to see the LaLande gardens at it’s peak. So nice to see Annalise spending time with Dan and the boys. As always, I loved Philip’s table setting and Maria’s delicious food. Thanks Stephanie🙏❤️
What a fun day at Chaumont! And what a beautiful dinner at Lalande! Maria is a genius in the kitchen! ❤
Yaheeeeeee... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Eating a whole basket of berries and playing all day in the woods is the best kind of day as a kid. ❤️❤️
"We're like a hive-mind" I died laughing. literally wheezing with laughter. I love this relationship so much!!
Oh that's funny, I worry too when Dan skips a day 😅
Why not give the last little Peacock 2 names...Wedgewood Smore of Lalande 😊....perfect ❤
Perfect. I love that thought. Sound regal
Perhaps with 'Lady or Lord" being bestowed on her or him.
I think Marie's dare should be to do Daveys portrait made of flowers. 😂
That’s a good idea. I was thinking she should have to give him a lil kiss. Is that too inappropriate?
Yes!!!
Genius!
@@user-wh9vj1th3uA bit inappropriate but at least you asked?
i think one of the dares should be an offer of marriage, no matter who makes it! Did I say that out loud? It's the first thing that popped into my mind, so it's hard to tell if I'm typing while imagining the joy that could bring.
This was quite a candid look behind the scenes. I laughed out loud several times. Dan saying turn off the cameras and poor Davey wondering why everyone is talking his undergarments, while he strategically wins the architectural feat of Jenga 😂😂😂😂
If Dan doesn’t post I also worry if he’s ok!!
True. I pray for Dan every time I watch daily vlog. God Bless Dan.
Mee tooo 😊
You know what Dan and Annalise relationship is not really our business. Two sides to every story but I am super glad to see how they are raising their kids together despite there differences. Good job for not telling the world! And Stephanie your garden is amazing. How is jerry and Natalia’s apartments? The boys eating the Berries is hilarious
It really was a perfect day, a good old fashioned family day, a see saw, a ball and a basket of berries...refreshing to see. Great to see Davy.
So happy to see Annalise and the boys hanging out with Dan. What a beautiful family they make. Dan is great at improvising, if it needs figuring out, Dan's the man! Beautiful table setting Philip.
OMG! Dan's prep work in the beginning is paying off! The arches and IRRIGATION HE put in are so lovely! All DAN'S hard work at Stephanie's Chateau seems to be going great and producing lots of flowers and berries for everyone to enjoy and continue HIS work. Mummy must be very happy to see the garden flourish! 🍇🍓🍅🍎
Stephanie you need to start a “Dad!” box to pop in things you need to take for Dan starting with the cork screw, spoons, tooth picks, the odd table & chairs … you know stuff
Makes me smile watching everyone having posh cookout fun.
Wedgewood for the peachick. Davy should ask Marie to sing and dance for the guests. lol
I so enjoy Stephanie and Dan's witty banter. You two are priceless! Liked Davy and Marie playing Jenga too. And Maria's cooking... wow
That was a really fun vlog! Was so nice to see Annalise and the boys as well as Davy.
Nice to know Phillip was texting Dan for all of us when he went AWOL last week…..😅
👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️👍♥️👍♥️👍♥️😍
Glad to see Davy and Marie having fun.
I look forward to your weekly vlogs and enjoy catching up with everyone but would also like an update on the current projects around the chateau ie: Nati's suite, Scot man's suite, heating project, new floors for Isabelle's suite, china room, pond, garden, building facade, etc, etc.
I would imagine nothing has progressed since the last update due to the BnB season. They can't work while hosting paying guests.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I would love to see all that too. It’s been years since those projects where started I just like to see where they’re at, a follow up, maybe?
What happened to Ian who was building Nati's suite? Did the building stop?
I would think that the news of the structural damage in the grand salon and the chapel, at the same time, would put several projects on hold for quite some time.
@@alisonalexandratou8723Ian passed away and I don't think they have got anyone else yet
So fantastic to see Annelise and the boys are so big!!
That was a good bbq with Dan, Annalise, and boys. The games in the kitchen was fun. Maria, your recipes look delicious and pretty. The little chickpea is looking very healthy, thank goodness.❤
I like Chickpea for its name!
This is wonderful to see you all together. It’s fun how you give each other the best support. How long does it take to get from one chateau to the other? Many visits to come. Wonderful.
Stephanie has said a little over an hour.
Oh I was looking forward to seeing the dessert!!!!!
The garden has grown up so beautifully. The archways with the berries is just glorious
My vote is for Smore since I am the one that suggested it ! I will be so delighted to have named a pea hen. It is so nice that you go and visit Dan, he must be happy to have guests come round. So good to see Annalise and the boys have a nice time, even if there was a berry stealing boy!!
Yeah I named Gillian, Lillian and Vivian.
If Dan is rebuilding the whole thing from the ground up then he should be able to get a proper hvac system
I love these visits to Dan's folly, you guys are so fun, never a dull moment...but what a beautiful backdrop to this impromptu luncheon in spite of the pilfered berries...thanks for inviting us...!
Hear hear ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He has a good sense of humour with Stephanie. Love their banter
I love seeing them together with the boys agin🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Wonderful to see you all together at Dan’s as always love it when you all work together 👏🏻👏🏻
Wedgewood no contest
Wonderful to see Annalise and the boys!!! Davey is always fun as well. Phillip giving instructions on kicking a football was excellent especially as he insists he is not sports minded. 😂 Oh AND the boys eating all the berries was the perfect ending to a perfect day!!!
Annalise has such a beautiful face. The boys are so cute. Wish we could fast forward to the completion of their chateau. Can’t wait to see it. The Lalande gardens are beautiful and it is so exciting to see the fruit of everyone’s labor. You will all be very healthy with these fresh foods. Hope that you are all well. We, in the states, are hearing about the difficulties in France right now. I vote for the name Wedgewood for the pea chick. Male or Female.
Love seeing everyone with Dan, seem like old times.
Chateau Chaumont was so much FUN to watch including Annaliese, Dan and the boys!!! Back at LaLande: I was amazed by the first course! Kudos to Maria! Davy, thank you for your grand design of all of the new gardens around the chapel! Absolutely beautiful!!!
Marie is such a precious soul. Love you all! xoxo
Such a contrast to go from Dan's Chateau with paper plates and swishing out pots between courses to LeLande with dinner service and crystal for an entire army and a fancy porcelain for every sauce and condiment.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😂🤣😂🤣👍
GREAT ago see you all together again so nice to see DAVEY again. Stay safe love to you all the boys are getting big and so cute.
what this lady has done for her community is beautiful....................
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
The best part was seeing Dan's family! 🙂
The garden has turned into a beautiful place.
Dan u really r the man.😂
That dinner table was a work of art. So beautiful.
Marie should have to serenade Davey every time she sees him for a week.
There’s never enough of Davy-he is a quiet achiever! The veggie garden at La Land is looking fabulous
Dan seems so shy when he's being filmed. So different from when he's doing his own vlog.
That was a lot of fun....good to see you at Dan's with Annalise and the boys and Davey!!!!
Glad to see Marie! She looks great!
Davy your garden design come into focus so often, brilliant work!
I love the name Wedgewood! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Many of us worry when Dan doesn’t post a video. I’m happy to hear that you can check on him.
La Lande’s garden is beautiful!
It’s good to see Alisse too. She looks great. 😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍
I love when you and Philip get to visit Dan. You and Dan get along like fond brother and sister. It was also nice to see Annalise. You manage to bring class and polish but without pretense. ❤
Marie and Davy are sweet😊
Stephanie, the "l'heure bleue" with the fairy lights framing Maria explaining the meal content was so beautiful!! I just had to pause the video, it was so stunning!! Chuck in Northern New England
Dan whenever the work at your chateau gets to be a burden, just invite this happy soul.She would definately hrighten anyones day. The work at LaLande is certainly blooming in honor of your efforts. I ❤ Stephanie's amazing attitude.
So lovely to see all of you together especially Dan and his family ❤
Playing Jenga and a card game at the same time is brilliant
Love the LaLande mixture of garden and people, always a pleasure to watch. So good to see Annalise at the BBQ and hear Davy’s summation of Chaumont on his first visit. Philip’s table for the evening dinner was a triumph, so beautiful. I always hold my breath when the glasses are clicked for ‘cheers’, fearing they may be smashed by a too enthusiastic person.😅👌💐🥂❤️
I also fear for delicate antique glasses when they are "clinked". I sold mine because people seem to prefer the larger glasses (gold fish bowls) these days and not the beautiful delicate ones of old. Sad.
Loved seeing Annalise. I can’t wait to see what dare Marie has to do. ❤
So lovely to see Annalise ❤
So happy to see you saying hello to Dan 💕. Enjoy your time together
Philip's table this time was SO incredibly beautiful. I loved the deep greens and pinks together. Gorgeous. The gardens look wonderful! Well done on the design, Davey, and great work bringing it to life, Kirstie and Pavlina! As a professional gardener, i would love to come help out in your lovely gardens some day! Thank you for the excellent episode!
I wonder what Marie's dare was! It'll be nice to learn about Davy's community. How they came together to build something so environmentally friendly! 😄
So lovely to see Annelise... have mist her smile and humor and energy... She is always greeting people smiling, and she is so beautiful... Of course it's also great seeing the boys... So cute and funny ... Thomas is a really little brother 😅😂😂
Wedgewood...... perfect
Thanks so much for showcasing Dan's place now and then. I love that you are sharing the wealth of subscribers. I'm addicted to his channel, too.
Phillip is so adorable and talented! I love his personal style. HIs tablescapes are picture worthy. I am ready to see a book from Chateau Lalande!! The picnic with Dan and Annalise was lovely!! Great family!!
Wedgewood Smore sounds very aristocratic I think
Im just mesmerised by Davey! The way he talks, walks, looks is spellbinding 😮❤️
What fun the lunch was with Dan, Analise & the boys. I had a giggle hearing the boys ate all the raspberries meant for the dessert.😂 Dan's hygiene skills are epic.😁👌
Love this video especially the bbq part with Dan & fam
I can't believe the "Dan" of all trades doesn't have a Swiss army knife with a corkscrew and regular bottle opener in it.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂♥️
That salad is out of this world
I feel that I have just experienced a lovely visit at Chateau de Chaumont with friends. Everyone was cheerful and accepting and involved.
Lovely day with lovely people and a beautiful garden. Could you please turn on closed caption for those of us that are hearing impaired. Thank you
It takes KZhead at least a couple of hours after the video is uploaded to get the captions enabled. If you check back later, they're always there. It's not a Stephanie issue, it's a KZhead issue.
Congratulations Stephanie on a super vlog full of life, love & laughter in the inhabitants of the two chateaux.. this vlog is a classic & takes you back to your best. Amongst the brilliant, funny and happy various vignettes of Lalanders & the Chaumont bbq, You have captured fabulous footage of a very happy & relaxed Dan & Annelise (only Buzz & Woody were missing from the Preston family.. I just loved seeing the dogs at Chaumont). I'm another Dan-worrier when he doesn't post 😱 so am delighted to learn Philip is keeping tabs on him.👏👏👏👏. Also the Marie / Davy epic jenga/ cards battle was hilarious and you really captured them having real fun. Just brilliant stuff tonight. 👏👏👏👏👏♥️💋
Great seeing Marie so relaxed.
Does the man who lives in a tent really not have a Swiss Army knife? Complete with corkscrew?
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
Wedgewood! Yes
Phillip...your table settings are just divine. The dining room is superb and Maria's food that just compliments every setting. Looks so delicious! Lovely to see Dan's chateau.
I love when Davy is around! He’s one of the loveliest and most interesting of your LaLande family.😊
@25:37. 😱 The Chateau walls have serious structural cracks 😱
zo liefdevol dat jullie omgaan bij Dan die een echte vriend voor jullie is geworden en tijd maken om hem nte bezoeken jij bent zo een lieve dame
