This is surreal. I'm sitting in the bed in Bonne Maman at LaLande watching a Chateau Diaries showing Bonne Maman.

I honestly never thought I'd see Philip pouring a glass of cardboardeaux... it just seems so wrong lol. Then again, I never thought I'd see him chucking a sandal at a peacock, either 🤣😂

Phillip is such an asset to the chateau. His eye to add those details. It is like the cherry on the top of the sundae.

George Bernard Shaw is Irish. He was born in Dublin in 1856.

I adore you all...but Phillip is such a good soul. His peacock wrangling is epic.

[s.g.]

absolute delightful. Philip throwing his "slippers" at the naughty peacock and Stephanie absolutely roaring laughing about it. totally priceless clip

I love Phillip’s attention to detail. His explanation of the changes that he’d like made to restore the rooms to the way they were originally was excellent. I also think that the best approach is to replace the old beams with metal beams, so that the structural changes shouldn’t be required again in the distant future. Everything is going to be a mess for quite some time, so might as well do the best work possible. Also, if Amaury thinks that the metal beams & the more expensive work is the best solution, I’d go with that. We all know what a perfectionist he is and how excellent his work is. The chateau will be strong & even more beautiful once the work is complete.

I have a toad colony and every year the number of toads vary. My first toad was a fat fellow and solitary in the first year, I often found him in the evenings basking on the warm sidewalk. I named him King Joe The Toad and my first dog here, Jaxx picked him up once and King Joe peed or excreted something in his mouth and Jaxx spit him out. This year my now dog Honey, picked up king Joe and took 2 steps and spat him out and drank every drop of water in the outdoor water bowl

My goodness Amoury has got a marathon job to do, but he will have no problem sorting it all out plus Phillip is just as passionate about doing things properly as Amoury is. The baby peacocks are so beautiful, I can't wait to see the white one as it grows. 💕🇦🇺

The plans for the Grand Salon sound perfect and I can see what the delays have been. Great to be able to do it all properly. It’s all going to be exquisite

Vivienne is just a thoughtful, wonderful kind human being.

Dads paint brushes 🥹❤️😭 so sentimental. It just warms my heart.

Chateau Diaries is going to give all the garden videos a run for their money pretty soon! What progress since Kirstie and Pavlina have become your gardeners!

[paulacorreal]

Stephanie, every time I see the courtyard I am struck by its complete transformation. It is truly stunning. I love Vivianne’s art. It, too is stunning. What a sweetheart she is. I love the new proposed changes to the Grand Salon and the upstairs bedroom and bathrooms. Still watching from PA, USA.

[mavep]

A white peacock, how exciting! The gardens are looking very green and lush, so much for the predicted drought. The skirting boards just finish off the bathroom perfectly. Good decision on the grand salon, do it right the first time and gain two ensuite bedrooms in the process. Thanks Stephanie and Philip.❤️🙏

[reneskaaning]

The bracelet from Vivian was truly beautiful.

[ornleifs]

Loved the art that Vivian made, such a good design and loved the humour in it.

[denisefazio]

Everyone needs a friend like Vivian! (and of course Simon)
