If you look at Selmar's recent vlogs there is not even a link to the kickstarter campaign. I guess he doesn't take the fundraising that seriously too.
Chateau Diaries #89 Maybe it was pleasurable for him to put the napkin into the napkin ring

Congratulations @Pekey on your VIP status 
. We'll clear that hanger on Heathcliffe out of the VIP lounge, (he's always lying drunk on the floor), and set up the champagne for you!

Bet you Dan's Brico coupons that S&T haven't had a building inspection completed on their dream chateau. Who knows what secrets are lurking behind that moat and those turrets. Based on their experience at the shitoo, they should at least know to check that the roof isn't leaking and electrics, heating, plumbing and fireplaces are all working - but I doubt it. Billy at least has access to Gwen's deep pockets - Selmar isn't that lucky!
Teabag said his Teddybear sweaters need to be dry-cleaned (not washed), so there's another expense he can't afford.
Teabag's Ralph Lauren bear jumpers cost 399€ each in Europe and the website says hand wash. I guess he's too lazy for hand wash.
The details are in the listing
It is just altogether weird, and not going to work.
It’s so easy to hand wash a sweater! Can you imagine how wiffy they are if he hasn’t bothered to get them dry cleaned yet?
I remember him once making stupid comments about Banff, just because he had never heard about this town..and is it true he did not know about the Renaissance? Does anybody have the time stamp for this display of ignorance? I don't want to watch the whole episode, these gift thingies, with all the squirrels, hedgehogs and tea towels are sooo boring.
Has Selmar changed his routine? I remember him being up at the crack of dawn and feeding the animals.
The illustrations under the Yule title are actually Christmas traditions in Scandinavia where they use the old word "Yule" ("Jul" in Swedish, now is translated as "Christmas" pronounced exactly as "Yule"). They would have had a tree, etc., when they originally celebrated Yule but it would not have looked anything like the one in that painting from the late 1800s. The Norse god, Thor (Tor), had goats, rather than reindeers, and they still often have straw goats by the Christmas tree. There isn't one Father Christmas in Sweden, even though other people think he lives in the north; instead, there are "tomtes", rather like gnomes, who bring the gifts. There are special songs while they dance round the tree and sing and dance round it before taking it down. Christmas in Scandinavia is much more magical than in the UK and all the festivals are very much linked to the distinct and changing seasons which are greeted and celebrated and much looked forward to.
Or would you even spend 399.- on a sweater with a bear on it?
I can't remember which gift it was associated with but someone mentioned the Renaissance and he said he said something like "so, in the 1800s" and I think MPK corrected him!
Definitely not.Or would you even spend 399.- on a sweater with a bear on it?
The useless Hedgehog boyfriend thought that the renaissance gardens were invented by the French in the 18th century.
You know, just after the renaissance period

This is what I see... He is approaching his expiration date.
I used to feel sympathetic towards Selmar as he seemed modest and kind and loved animals but as time has progressed, he has increasingly gone down in my estimation. I think he has very dated ideas about women and seemed keen to dominate when Tatty first arrived, although she is now asserting her dominance. He seems to have an inflated idea of his usefulness and importance now, and has no awareness of how boring he and his "flogs" are. I think he really probably resents SJ, which is understandable, but she has put up with him parking his campervan there free of charge and achieving very little workwise. He is very gullible but I think he could probably also be quite nasty. In the announcement vlog, he and Tatty seemed to be sneering inside when they emphasised all the positive aspects of "their" chateau, implying comparisons with CLL. His only saving grace is his treatment of the animals.
Before Tatyana entered the scene, he didn't look for a château to buy at all. Most of the time he only strayed around the outside.
I think there are quite a lot of re-enactments in the UK, maybe not so many "fantasy festivals, although I did see something recently about a fairy festival somewhere! I can't imagine many people travelling even from the UK to France for such an event. I certainly wouldn't have thought many Americans would either but there's no accounting for taste and when you think of some of the patrons, you could imagine that they would be daft enough to do so!
I haven't seen any evidence of his competence in either dancing or teaching dance. I am no dancer but he looks pretty hopeless to me!
According to Caroline Gooder charity begins at home. Apparently no need for SJ, the selfish cow, to donate to a local charity and share her good fortune, even at Christmas. Maybe if the new community centre, that may not open for some time, does donations, it would be a wonderful idea, but SJ won't do it on her own accord. But hey, SJ had the money to fly Paris to South Africa twice (December 21 and January 22) and would have taken both flights had the borders not closed.

Three times a year my family donates to a local food bank or food pantry. Do you donate to a food bank or pantry for the needy families? It’s a thought. Being a recipient of a food basket when times were difficult meant a lot to us. We pay it forward.

Isabelle and Percy do that in SA. If the new local community center does that as well it would be a wonderful idea.

If I'm correct, in english you have a saying like "Empty vessels make the most noise" ?The useless Hedgehog boyfriend thought that the renaissance gardens were invented by the French in the 18th century.
