Not Spain, as the volunteers are not from Spain.

I can see Selmar living in a crumbling dump, just heating one room in winter, happy as can be because for him it will be so romantic. If he hasn't got the money to renovate he won't care. He's lived in a van fir 10 or was it 12 years? He's used to roughing it.
In the course of my career I used to visit clients in their own homes and had to go to an ancient Manor house where an eccentric member of a titled family lived on his own with his ancient butler. I had to walk across certain parts of the floor, because the boards were unsafe and had fallen away. The whole place was falling down,parts of the roof had gone, damp and dust everywhere, window frames had rotted. The man lived in one room with a coal fire, his butler in the attic, with one habitable room downstairs which was the kitchen. It was his family seat. The money had gone years ago and he and the butler were living on a small annuity . He seemed perfectly content. The old hall became apartments after his death I heard. It had to be virtually rebuilt.

he got lunch but didn’t stay because of the trouble with the leaking.
he said he stopped for lunch....maybe at Mcdonalds...i dont think there was much lunch..she surely would have showed it...she was too busy laughing at her leaking radiators....what a twat...its always easy when your place crumbles down you just sit and laugh..and let somebody else sort out the mess she created...what a waste of time that woman...i would run at full speed from there...if i was Amaury..

Did anyone see today's Chateau DIY? New couple on there have seriously hideous taste in decor. Their ugly, tacky rooms make SJ's look tasteful and classy! Way to ruin a beautiful chateau. Criminal!
That's always been the heartbreaker for me in renovation sagas -- been reading the blogs and watching the videos for 20 years. One guy renovated an old crack house -- a beautiful Victorian with, miraculously, most of its original woodwork. Took him years, featuring his hanging off the mansard roof in a window washer's belt, stirring up his own shellac, as he ran for mayor of his little town, and won, had a baby who grew into a young girl, etc.
Then they decorated it in the most hideous, fake Victorian, flocked wallpaper Hollywood bordello style.
The Lalacelles are on target to fill their property with chalets and glamping sites. I can hardly watch them any more.

although the ‘singles weekend’ was a complete fake for C4. It seems it’s a free for all regarding picking up volunteers, staff and even the chatelaine herself. One could consider the HMN a prime knocking shop with the amount of BS being spewed from all the associated floggers. Time will tell on one or two of the ‘main’ characters. Not looking forward to it.

Re the criticism of Dan possibly staying over at Lalande ( and there's no proof. Just supposition)
What kind of relationship expects both partners stay with each other all the time, every day? Surely it's healthier for both to keep contact with their friends and get the occasional night out separately. No one should be made to feel joined at the hip.My idea of hell, and yes I've had small children and no babysitters. Dan told us that he and Annaleise take turns to go to the chateau parties, while the other one baby sits if they can't get a sitter. Annalise has been to some of the parties by herself. I'm sure Dan's happy with that.

I also know a few like that..happens a lott..especially in France...although most of them are sensible enough to put their estate in a trust...and live in a nice warm cottage on the estate..happens most of the time with eccentrics..they also mostly have a house filled with rubbish and old crap...i forsee this also for Fan..she always reminds of that woman living in Plas Teg...

Always when i look at their vlogs i see that noisy traffic coming down that road...not much future there.. for a glamping and chaletsite..imagine the money you have to invest to get it up to date for the guests of today...maybe the ecotourists..they arent so picky... well my own retail experiences tell me... they also can be very nasty...i wish them luck..

And when was Annalise last at the shitoo, Dan attended the Russian night after dashing back from his failed attempt at buying another drone so he could eat the Hairy Russian Baker’s pie!

you cant heat a old chateau like that...the insulation is bad...how she got into that idea....well we know...she is stupid...a place like that needs first of all good windows and doors..shutters you can shut at night or at places nobody is in...insulation in the attics...a good system fueled by wood or oil...very expensive...and in the most lived in rooms woodburners and good working chimneys...no open fireplaces...but that shithouse isnt compact..has a lot of roof, doors and walls...so i dont see it ever getting nice to live in in winter..or the bill costs you a fortune...

Sorry I should have said that I am referring to Matt and Helen at Chateau la Briance.

So distracted by the massive trucks (lorries) passing so close to the field there. We'd be shaken out of our glamorous sleeping bags. And, just what I travel to the middle of nowhere for, cooking my breakfast over a campfire to the smell of diesel fumes.
I wish them luck too, they love the place and seem like they're trying to do a good job. Restoring the radiators turns me on. Kink, pure kink.

isnt that something Dan and Annalise have to figure out...Fan stirred the pot up...oh isnt she nasty...she clearly likes to pull another... a knife in the back...Fans life is full of lies , i guess not everybody at that shithouse is like that...although i have to say...she let Dan standing there with his tail between his legs...no quick wit now...

Watch the vlogs, the evidence is there. You're clearly someone who really hates Dan. Your privilege.
