I have not missed watching your videos since covid. I was pregnant, gave birth, raised a baby and I'm always watching your videos. Thanks for giving all of us joy ❤

It is perfectly understandable that walking where you and Lancelot used to take so many lovely walks would trigger a wave of grief, Stephanie. It’s not really a setback, but rather another step forward in this grief journey. How wise of you to take some time to rest and recover before you joined your guests for another one of Marie’s amazing meals, thus ending your evening on a happier note. Sweet dreams on that new mattress 😊

I lost my precious wee dog six weeks ago today. Her name was Sadie and I miss her so much! I know exactly how you feel about the loss of your beautiful Lancelot; the places you went together etc bring back memories. Thinking of you all xxx.

[lucindajennings]

I know what you mean about your walks. As you went toward the chapel I so missed seeing Lancelot running around.😢

Marie is now the Grande dame of la lande; fully in charge of her domain,
I think we are all in awe of her now, her cooking skills are above reproach in all areas, including presentation

GIANT KING KONG sized healing hugs, and if you need to take a little walk alone through the English garden and woods then need to have a good cry, it is okay, you'll be a better person for it and Lancelot certainly deserves it, and you know his little soul will come running to your side to comfort

It isn’t possible Stephanie to express how very much I appreciate you and the entire group of WONDERFUL people who are part of LaLande! So grateful for all of you!

Your mention of adding a kitchen / herb garden... as well a garden in front of the chapel... made me think of how churches had the healing medicinal herb garden surrounding them. Maybe that could blend somehow?

I love where the terrace stairs will be moved. It makes a world of difference. You will have a magnificent view in the future.

The Chaple is a glowing jewel. So beautiful. Nice job.

Mummy and Percy always make me smile! ❤

What?? Another change at La Lande? I love it. Life is change.

[missysatke]

I lost my baby (dog) Larry in early December and I still have a hard time. In 20 years I have lost a total 13 babies and still cry for every single one. It gets easier with time, but you never get over them. Love and hugs to you both ❤

Stephanie, thank you for blessing me during Covid. My mom and I would watch you together. She has since past however I really appreciate the time she and I had watching your channel and thinking about the future together. I appreciate you more than you will ever know as those moments were beautiful and special and even more so now. Sending lots of love from Miami ~ Maxx

Stephanie, if I am feeling grief over Lancelot I cannot imagine your level of grief. Please know that we who love and appreciate all your empathy recognize that grief takes time to heal. You are doing what it takes to make one cope with the loss. With love❤

[daniellefarrelly]

Moving the stairs is the perfect idea to be able to walk out and see that view! Each day will get a little easier! ❤️

[ginak]

I hope the new mattress makes a huge difference to your sleep and your back.😀

[norabrice]

The garden updates are the most glorious for me. Davie has made a wonderful blue printed map!! Thank you for taking all of along the journey.

Every 8 years for a mattress ! I must admit I like the faded look of the faces .. it shows the age of the chapel

[hsimpson]

God bless Stephanie for putting the chapel ahead of some of her more favorite projects. I pray all the time that she gets doubly blessed for this.❤😊
