I had it yesterday, impressive, that's how thinks are done! No faffing, no snorting, professionals at work, or well trained volunteers. I tried to find the financial plan for phase 1 and didn't find it, for phase 2 they are trying to raise 300'000 euros, and have 2/3 already.This just popped up in my feed! It was fun to watch, what a massive amount of work by loads of people speaking French!!
Well I hope Dan was paid double time for that!Indeed - why was Dan at the shitto for dinner??. Suspect they'd been working feverishly all day trying to finish the downstaris loo, right up until dinner and filming time.
My grandfather used to “Need to see a man about a horse”…I never could figure out why he never got the horse!My grandmother used to say that she needed to "spend a penny."
So much better than "making a cissy"My grandmother used to say that she needed to "spend a penny."
Cakes for Jesus are definitely not an American thing, especially for devout Catholics! It cheapens the meaning of Christmas. My non-Catholic cousin once made a cake for Baby Jesus in her new Easy Bake Oven. My mother, a devout Catholic, rolled her eyes and nothing more was said about it.My mother- in -law was raised as a Methodist. Converted to being a Catholic because my father in law made my husband and the other siblings go to church with him and she would go alone to the Methodist church. So "if you can't beat I'm join 'em.
Anyway , when she came for Christmas she would bring a cupcake with a candle and make my of sons sing Happy Birthday to Jesus. My dad was a non practising Catholic, believed in God though, and would still roll his eyes every year she had them do that.
So I don't think that is an American Tradition but is probably done in homes everywhere more than you think.
I will now have visions of Feddie Star doing Max Wall.I wonder if he is still there this time next year, will he sing the Carol King song, "Will you still love me tomorrow" to Fanny?

Had you read any of @KiKiGee posting that you in fact showed the photos firstIt might be isolation or the post Christmas woolly head but I'm totally at a loss as to what @MojoDublin is saying here.
Yes I'm a dog lover and those are my old quotes.
...years ago...when in Tahoe...my girlfriend and I met him...he came up to us...and made his play. biggest ego you’d ever meet...totallyOT- my local grocery has a gentleman who works there who I refer to as "Bruce Jenner"- he SERIOUSLY looks like an older version of the 1980s Bruce Jenner (like when Bruce Jenner was a Olympic Champion, was on a box of Wheaties, and was a role model to all of us young runners.) This "Caitlyn" person is NOT Bruce Jenner to me- he's a farce! My grocery Bruce Jenner is far more bad-ass- Army paratrooper during 'Nam, served a tour in Korea, and only works at the grocery as "something to do" during retirement.

I am worried for Amury's dogs. Now they have been abandoned by Auntie and Uncle. Meanwhile there are other dogs at Lala. Curtis's and Immuno girl. Future B and B guests will all expect to be able to bring their pets too.
Did he lose custody of the dogs, (he has two)??? Or, does he have visitation rights??? Maybe, his last trip was to visit the dogs???

I thought about that too, but I came to the conclusion it fits a pattern, he is an excessively keen stephanologist, and likes to show that he has memorized everything she says/has said in old vlogs, so he would have of course invested his (scarce?) brain cells in her pet project of the moment, i.e. the panelling. This over-investment might be his downfall, I don't think SJ always appreciates being continuously confronted with every word she has uttered in the past.I find it interesting how we (all collectively here) get different points of view from watching the same thing. I was actually surprised he seemed to know where things went. Amaury was conversing with him and doing what Philip was telling him to. Philip also seemed to know the measurements of some of the panels (seemingly off the top of his head). SJ was also complimenting him on knowing where things went. I won't say I was impressed but that's the view I got out of it. He did look totally ridiculous though.
Everything she does is lipstick on a pig, until she sorts out the rendering, windows, doors, insulation and heating it will remain a pig, and who puts up wallpaper before sorting out the covering and final fix, always the cart before the horse!That half-bath really is overdone for the farmhouse. Just like putting lipstick on a pig.
This would make much more sense. Who on earth would like to take over running her farmhouse?I don't know why (as I haven't heard anything about it) but I think they are planning to buy something for themselves, like a farmhouse close to the shittoo. A farm would suit Armoir much better and he can make a vlog about the restoration based on what Dan did and is doing. They might even go for that farmhouse Oliver was so interested in, as it's really close to the HMN and Nutty could basically walk to work then. Anyway, just a suggestion, what I would do, because any permanent residency at her shittoo is like a voluntary lockup in an insane asylum.
Maybe... but Tone Tone ! After 16 years in France...Stephfending here because I also grew up in another country and only talked with my parents their mother tongue- if at all, usually we all spoke a weird mixture.
I understand everything but I speak it with a strong accent though I even went to the language school in the afternoon for a couple of years. And I certainly don't speak complicated sentences. I, too would take someone with me to discuss legal things with the mayor for example.
I guess she even speaks with mummy English when alone with her.
Aargh! Spend a penny has to be the worst saying.My grandmother used to say that she needed to "spend a penny."
Maybe a French letter? Who's old enough to know what I mean?On the CD episode “A Christmas Suprise…” at about 13:17, Amaury slips his chocolate into Natti’s skirt pocket. Hilarious!
ok maybe not hilaaaarrrious….but amusing.
aaaand edit 3….maybe it’s not a chocolate….I realize that wouldn’t be very nice to do…and kind of gooey….at any rate….he slipped something in there.
Hahaha! LOLZ!Maybe a French letter? Who's old enough to know what I mean?
Oh I don't know, I've heard far worse!Aargh! Spend a penny has to be the worst saying.
Well we all wonder what he does all day for month after month, after month, one thing he is not is "invested in it", I bet you all the tea in the Chateau that he will not have dipped into his own (empty) pockets towards the costs.I agree, Philip appeared to have done his homework. It sounded to me like he's spent a lot of time with it and with measuring and thinking about it, even more than SJ has. He was very invested in it all.
