I'm not sure when Easter egg hunts started in the UK but they didn't exist here when I was a child. It's a bit like Halloween. Eventually, we copy what happens in the States. Easter egg hunts are very popular here now.

Yuck. Creepy couple.
Find @Heathcliffe we need the plane to charter all of us over to you for Easter. Let's make it an auberge espanol and everyone bring their favorite dish and drink. All tattlers welcome, not just VIP's
I follow ittybittybungalow on IG that community is not far from me. It is a special little lake . I was surprised to see you post this, small world
The dump got seriously smaller since the deadly accident…
Wonder how many rooms and apartments are not in use this year?
She has no place for anything. How can she even speak of a new BnB season when the place is falling apart.

I think the resemblance to Derek is clear.Oh but I can remember when he did something at Lalande. He had a Most Important Job. In fact Lalande at Easter would not have been able to function without him. Fanny made a huge fuss about the fact that Nic was in charge of hiding all the Easter eggs ready for the big hunt. It required a huge effort on his part, being responsible for the grand plan that made sure that the visitors found a few eggs, but that Fanny would find the biggest and best and get more in her basket than anybody else.
(Just an excuse for another Blast from the Past from my Easter photo stash, in the days when he was happy to be seen without a bag on his head, but with a fox fur over his shoulders):

Good grief, it's Daddy!
Ohhhh now that is interesting. Tick tock. Tick tock. ( i haven’t a clue what is going on there or here. Just quickly skimming thru hoping for a kaboom. I believe this is as good as
)
didn’t you ask about Easter traumas or bad memories @graciemckitten ?
Easter were always amazing growing up and as an adult raising kids. I love Easter.
This is my one and only Easter bad memory. This scary image has the power to impregnate one memory like motor oil
I've rarely met a dessert I didn't like, unless it has rhubarb...not a fan of rhubarb
They've started in recent years here in France. Though down here in the south Paquette is the tradition on easter Sunday. A picnic, outdoors, usually the whole village. Everyone takes something and everything is shared. No Easter egg hunt until quite recently, but the hunt for wild asparagus is competitive.
Himself and I have always said that whatever trend starts in America then starts in the UK 20 years later. The French then pick up the trend 20 years after the brits. No offense friends over the pond. Just a personal observation.
I’m bored out of my skull at work today and Fanny’s meagre offerings (no sniggering in the back, please) aren’t doing it for me. Since we’ve added cookware to our lengthy list of entertaining diversions I thought I’d weigh in. I have a few pieces of my grandmother’s Lodge cast iron, two frying pans and two dutch ovens. They’re great for cornbread, pan frying meats, stews or slow roasting. I even use the large dutch oven for baking rustic loaves of bread. My sheet pans and most bakeware are Nordicware natural aluminum that I’ve had for a decade. Most of my cookware is recent investment from Made In. They’re expensive but outstanding quality. I got one of the stainless clad sets made un Italy. It’s a family owned company that’s been supplying professional chefs for over a century. Plus their product lines are made in the USA and Europe. I also have two Matfer Bourgeat carbon steel pans that were a pain in the tookus to master. Once I did though, I’ll never use anything else for omelettes, crepes or pancakes. They’re excellent for fish or seafood too. The hardest thing for me to find was good tempered glassware. American Pyrex is no longer made the same and I needed replacements. Eventually I landed on Duralex and that was it. I got a lot of small size duplicates for ingredient prep. I’m going to try their casserole dishes next.

In fact, why not just call time on it altogether because I can't see there being any improvement in the foreseable future.
I don't even know why she even did a vlog yesterday as she could hardly be bothered, it was such a non entity.

Today I have made rhubarb and ginger crumble( no guests today). First rhubarb from the garden this year.I've rarely met a dessert I didn't like, unless it has rhubarb...not a fan of rhubarb
Unfortunately many people don’t appreciate the many varieties available and grow some that you just cannot make sweet. I only have two varieties now , there is even a perennial one! A natural sweetener is using sweet cicely. ( beware the liquorice loathers…)
It makes me mad that Frk is wanting yet another piece of junk to make key lime foam . How many times will that syphon be used before it is lost in the kitchen appliances graveyard?

@Jezz1946 The cooking course was not cheap and she just bought a car. In my opinion she is paid staff. During her previous stay in Lalande, she was given a white van that she sold before going to England

Maire is the B&B chef/flower creator for the season. She already has equipment bought, including vases, glasses etc for the season. The garden produce and the menus for the season are already being planned. She did several seasons before Maria, and as it is her territory, Chef has the final word. Everyone is also friends so don't worry

I'm a bit new to this channel. So is this place for guests to stay in, like a B&B ? Or it's their home and have all of those employees to help out?

I do love a good rhubarb and strawberry coulis or jam or pie (on occasion).

Can I ask why Nick and family didn't stay in their apartment? Can I also suggest people do their research carefully for your sponsor 'BetterHelp?' There is a C4 documentary here in the UK, featuring a woman who made a troubling complaint against her male therapist. Please do your research first for any therapy, rather than going to someone who is sponsoring a youtube vlogger

Stephanie, I have always loved your vlogs and I was so relieved to see how authentic it is, but I am sad, that even you starrt to do these colaborations promoting .... Like Better help, when better help asked Max to promote their brand I was all for it, but nowadays Better help uses all the you tubefs on the planet, even girls of 18 years old to promote their business, it starts looking ridiculous...

I feel very uncomfortable with the advocacy therapy providers. I don’t think it’s appropriate. So many YouTubers have been pushing this over the last few months. Therapy is now a commodity

Oh Gooder, go and shove the biggest Easter Egg you can find sideways in your gob and shut the duck up! There's a good girl
yeah, it was sort of 15 minutes of nothing. As I mentioned before, I always fast forward through the chapel stuff. Not that I'm not interested in that sort of thing, but I'm just not that interested in her particular chapel and all the lies she tells surrounding it. I might care about the people working on her chapel, but the one time I saw her talking to them - in French and with subtitles - it was such inane conversation, I couldn't watch any more moving forward. It's demeaning to those guys and what they do and I'm disappointed that they indulge her with this mindless patter for a vlog.
Everyone, even well skilled tradesmen, want their 15 minutes of fame, it seems.
