I have always thought that Selmar was constantly trying to duck Stephanie. LIke Phillip he would try to kiss her any chance he had. When they danced the Tango he would rub his penis up against her. He loves her. I'll bet she gave in and tried Selmar out sexually and now he has power over her. Selmar is extremely stupid and has a big ego at the same time. I just watched Lord of the Rings and was struck by his resemblance to Faramir of Gondor in Return of the King..
You've got a wonderfully filthy mind! x

Looking forward to her getting a “surprise” upgrade for everything 🙄
If the honking, snorting adopted child gets an airline upgrade I swear I’ll track him down for a feature story in ‘Rags to Riches‘ ( imaginary) Magazine.
From talentless Workaway with not a cent or achievement to his name to the ‘WE’ in a chateau, appearances on British TV and all the while honking like a goose and laughing like a rabid hyena on a popular YouTube channel. A man in the bed of and speaking on behalf of a woman who’s his mothers contemporary. The most over rewarded, microphone hogging, iPhone wielding femboy in the Chateaverse.

I got caught up with Christmas food orders and didn't keep up here. Every time I popped over to checked in there were 2 more threads I hadn’t read! I’m skimming through and see that the downstairs loo was finally finished, the paneling is garbage, Dan kinda had his study in order, and pretty much everyone has low key has COVID. I have been trying to keep up with the vlogs from Chateau de la Coutere. Leeann actually respond and remembers my real name (my YouTube name is completely different). Her hubby can actually do renovations. They have genuine talent and I can’t figure out why they don’t have more followers. Someone recommended in the comments that she join forces with SJ to boost views and I had a slow motion “Nooooooooo!” come out of my mouth. Stay far, far, away! I love that Chateau de la Coutere is using their garden as a market garden and not just some half ass ornamental garden that they may or may not get a handful of carrots out of. Lalande’s garden makes me cringe, there is so much wasted space!

They moved from Fergus, ON which is west of Toronto ( approx. 1.5 hr drive ) and North of Guelph. It is definitely country there and not as many chances or choices to try something new or at least there wasn't for years.
I think that a lot of it is about choosing fear over choice . Sarah may be the type to travel and explore but be conservative in trying new foods. My dad, although born in culturally diverse Toronto, is totally a meat, potatoes and veg kind of guy. I made a chicken paella Boxing Day ( didn't bother with the seafood one ), so simple ingredients and he took a tiny spoonful of it whereas my mom was excited to try something new, and "a one pot meal" lol. The next night I cooked Chinese cauliflower (blanched it , then stir fried with olive oil, garlic and green onions) and he would not touch it ( totally boring but it looked "different" ). ......... I think that even if you are open to trying something new, there is also the hurdle of seeking it out to try. If you don't count sushi, I only tried caviar about 9 years ago when I was working on a show where the cutter was Russian and on Fridays she brought in crepes, caviar, creme cheese and a couple other toppings. It was a delicious treat!
We have a really good asian grocery store which also has south asian, South American and West Indian foods as well. I roam the aisles looking at all the interesting new-to-me foods, especially the seafood aisles, wondering how to cook it all and have it taste good.
Of my East coast friends, 1 is allergic to fish, 2 hate seafood and 1 is vegetarian. Another east coast acquaintance says that she cannot stand lobster as they grew up poor and because it was plentiful, this is what her family ate for months on end after the season (frozen). Until that conversation it had never occurred to me that it could be anything else but a special treat :oops:
Yes it was a sign of poverty to have lobster sandwiches at school for lunch. I had heard many stories of older generations being very embarrassed. They envied the kids with peanut butter sandwiches. To think now it is so expensive and a treat for most. I had the experience of making shish kebabs served with pita & tzatziki sauce. Rudely an aunt and uncle refused to eat it. They eventually tried it and loved it. I was brought up eating everything but I hated pea soup. Thought it was funny to eat tongue & boudin. Which I no longer eat and draw the line at organ meats and pork hocks.
Yes I knew that Steve and Sarah lived in Fergus. I wondered if she was originally from Ontario. Someone had mentioned the possibility that she may be from out west. Does she have an Ontario accent?

I haven't watched any of Ryan's videos for months but just watched his videos on house buying and they are actually good. He's found some interesting places, covering a reasonable budget with plans on how to make the places work for him to provide income ... and none of the plans include holding festivals in a chateau!

He's working out mortgages, properties with businesses attached in villages. He also speaks fluent French so could run a business in a village.

Everyone likes a bit of house porn so I think he's found his niche; reasonably priced properties and Gangsta Grannies could afford! Not some chateau next to a cemetery that costs a fortune to furnish and heat.

As someone said before, Sillymar should get Ryan to find him a suitable place!
I had a quick look at the houses that he found. All of them are in Mayenne, a poor region with no industry no jobs no tourism no beautiful landscapes or any heritage.

The houses he shows in his videos are all in the middle of nowhere, in tiny hamlets or small rural and half dying towns or are (real) farmhouses.

What could a 25 year-old jobless man do in these areas ?

A business wouldn't survive. Gites wouldn't atttact any tourists.

I wouldn't buy any of these. Even at the price they are.

But each to their own.

We only see a small portion of his day, my husband regularly worked 60 hours a week but he always got home for bath time and to read our children a bedtime story and we used to do things at the weekend as a family as I got all the household stuff done in the week, I wouldn’t say he dodged his parental responsibilities so I think it’s a bit much to think Dan is not pulling his weight
It's more like a lot of times when he's had to look after the kids before, there's been a lot of huffing and puffing and eye-rolling. I'm a patron so I do admire them as a couple, but it appears that lately Dan would rather be off doing other exciting and sometimes secret stuff.

probably not that secret from his family. It wonderful that annalise has this new job, she will be able to make some great contacts and friends not to mention a great opportunity to practice her french

Perhaps SJ and Lalande will take this seriously now.
Woah, I have never heard of them. What did they do to themselves? :unsure: 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to their death than just covid. Down the rabbit hole to find out more about them.

So I see Annalise has got herself a job four days a week working at a school? Good for her. Now Dan will have to step up his parental responsibilities.
lets not forget that providing an income is also a parental responsibility.....

My Husband has a Babaco tree and very proud of the fruit but I can't bring myself to try it. It just looks yuck when cut open. Luckily my best friend loves them so we are giving her the excess!
When my husband moved for a job and I had to stay back and prepare and sell house I had chicken every second night (as I was only eating from a big freezer) When I did move to join him I couldn't eat chicken again for about a year!
We are thinking of moving again so have talked my husband into not buying anymore meat (he does grocery shopping) so we can use all the meat in the freezer. This time there is more pork than anything else and I getting so over it.

Looking at this conversely, it could be said that Annalise is stepping up to her share of the financial responsibilities too. It works both ways.
I'd say it's her taking opportunities, same as Dan

I cannot stand listening to them not looking at her ! Gollum ! I don’t even know what to tell her to do to herself to make her look better. Not that looks are paramount but come on ! She’s hideous.
the end of their 5 day late Happy New Year message was “YOU HURT MY LITTLE ARM “!!!!!!
YOU HURT MY LITTLE ARM !!!!!! WTF!!!!!!
So strange. Was that a cry for help? Selmer responded by looking clueless as usual 😂

just watched Niki Postano's latest video. Her and Carlos were travelling from France iinto England, and she commented that filling out papers in order to travel, one of the questions for residents of France was what was the compelling reason for the travel. Apparently visiting relatives is not one of the accepted reasons. This did not apply to Niki as they were just travelling thru France. interesting.. maybe SA trip may be off
Let's vote whereelse they go if SA is not possible 🙄
I say Argentina 🇦🇷 😁

I used to think there was no way SJ would venture anywhere near an itinerant, barely literate caravan dweller with bad teeth, but her taste in men has been shown to be well below any standard I ever set myself. So, perhaps you’re right. There’s more than enough alcohol drunk at that chateau for any amount of indiscriminate, off message bonking to go on 😉🤔😂

Yes it was a sign of poverty to have lobster sandwiches at school for lunch. I had heard many stories of older generations being very embarrassed. They envied the kids with peanut butter sandwiches. To think now it is so expensive and a treat for most. I had the experience of making shish kebabs served with pita & tzatziki sauce. Rudely an aunt and uncle refused to eat it.

People are strange eh?! Shish kebabs are just bbq meat, pita is bread and tzatziki garlic/cucumber/yougurt-sourcream! I used to love chicken hearts but would not eat tongue or liver. None of it now.
I feel like her accent sounds country/rural but I'm not entirely sure if it's Ontario or further west. I am sure that someone else will remember.
