I’ve only every seen this part of the floor plan, does anyone else have any others as the Dan corridor to the pantry has confused me, thanks

When I first heard about that quote, I was kind of stunned by the old fashioned ness of it all, but I really think she meant working to be the working class habit that she despises, to work for money that is, despicable and pathetic. From what I know the snorting Squirrel Cameltoe is from very common descent, but I'm sure he would like to fill us all in on his ancestors' art treasures and how they defined his class and eloquence.

The entry to her pantry is in the same corridor as the downstairs loo. If you walk straight from the kitchen into this corridor, you'll have the laundry room on your right first (also where the broken geothermal heating thing is located), then the downstairs loo and the next one on your right (after a door that separates the corridor from the back corridor) is the entry to her pantry. It opens into the small corridor where Dan has been working lately. On your immediate left in this corridor is a door to the liquor storage (where the owners were hiding together when that ceiling came down ad they did not want to be part of any clean ups) and if you walk sort of straight into the small corridor there's a door to the actual food pantry, usually such a mess with so much food just lying around that it's a mice and rats heavenly paradise.

The trouble is his house doesn't have the same footprint as a Chateau, therefore unless he is an instagrammer and starts publishing photos of candles artfully arranged on a footstool, then you'd be out of luck. He could turn into a Hincher, in which case he would get knocked on another thread for overuse of weird face filters, zoflora, grey, or generally being friends with someone.
Ltd time means he has started a project in the studio and he also works as does Annalise. He did mention that he has plans for the outside once weather improves.
So his life is what it is.
Personally don't mind it, but I don't watch all the time.
As for CLL footage, that's interesting. He does have a can do attitude, not that I agree with the way he does things all the time, but he is more watchable than the snorting prop she is attached to.
Talking of Château work. The Fleuries do get on with things and I am looking forward to their finished kitchen. Now if ever there was use for a digger somewhere, it would be in the crap hole of a kitchen at Lalande. The Tattlers would be lining up to have a go on that- after Dan of course.

I thought I saw a thumbnail with Amoire but then I couldn’t find the vlog, but I did find a very interesting singles party that was held at Shackteau, Fanny seemed much more “normal” and mummy too way back then
I don’t know why I went down this wormhole last night but on Instagram she has several videos from when she first starting doing Instagram- circa 2017. Isabel and Percy were there and she was doing a ton of cooking for workshops. She was traveling like four or five times a month. Totally different personality. She actually seemed to work. She was tooling around in her shitty cars and seeing friends. She definitely has always traveled. There was a really shabby chic vibe going on. Like hey we own this big house but we don’t really have much money, etc etc. Potts was around more.

The money has gone to her head. Completely. It’s obvious she has had some kind of baseline income, probably from an annuity or something, but it obviously wasn’t enough to fund anything past her travel and little shopping exploits. She was in Amsterdam a lot.

She has built a little persona for her YouTube channel, and it’s not the real her. Her current boy thing isn’t the real her either. Potts is the real her. I also think though that a big part of Potts appeal is that he photographed her constantly. Other than Sir Snortsalot, she doesn’t have anyone to do that for her. Or she didn’t, until Dan. I think Snorts ought to be very wary of old Dan. Dan could replace him in a skinny minute. Not in the bedroom, but definitely behind the camera. She’d be smart to do that and get someone else for the bedroom. Snorts is wrecking her roll. His influence on her wardrobe choices is so bad. Granny chic is in but he isn’t doing it the Gucci way, if you know what I mean.

She has to keep the renovation stuff going because that is what her YouTube audience wants. She needs to leave it to Ian, Anne Marie, and Dan and rejuvenate her social life starting with jettisoning her boy thing. She’ll be back to cooking for workshops with an overgrown landscape soon enough if she doesn’t.

life_wood_n_food is busy with their retirement/assisted living vacation. Ann Maire has experience with this age group. Must be their target market. When will their YT and patron account be set up???

I truly love Dan and his family but I am afraid he has gotten a little big in the britches. He seems way more cocky lately
I disagree. He's been working so hard sometimes he forgets his belt and his britches start to fall down.
I can never understand someone being knocked down for working and providing for his family.
Who on here has hard working husbands/partners or are single and work more than one job to keep a roof over their heads and their family fed and clothed. I could work a 12/14 hour plus day when my children were younger still can if I want to. I would also work away and still do if the contract requires it. I missed some things but that is the way of the world. We are more comfortable now and that's because the graft was put in. I made sure I had quality time with my children.
I think we can all see things and make educated guesses but that's my opinion. I would like to see him have a holiday with his family and I hope that's on the cards. It would do them all some good no vlog, no Chateau and some good old fashioned fun.

What SJ (& MPK) started within the chateau community, will not be stopped until viewers stop responding. They are all using the Ytube platform to beg viewers for money (patreon, buy me a coffee, go fund me etc). Ytube (& social media) would not have been as successful if everyone used it to beg for money. It doesn't matter how small the minimum amount is because someone with 3,000 followers can easily get £3,000 if all the followers donated £1 per month. The normal thing is if you can't afford it, save, don't buy it, downgrade or sell it. Ed (Lagorce) needed 950 euros to fix his digger & got the complete donation within 6 hours of uploading his video, Sadie begs for money to take care of a horse she can't afford (& I think she now has a pony too). If she can't afford to take care of a horse, how can she afford a pony? Tatiana travelled from UK to France to ask people to fund her dream (a chateau), Marie got viewers to get her a car, SJ, MPK, Fleuries etc. It will never stop until viewers & fans stop giving these people money & stop responding to online begging from greedy people.

BBC should never have published that article about SJ & the Fleuries because it sends the wrong message. Ytube did not renovate their chateau's patreon (& begging) did (bbc.co.uk/news/business-59950666). These people are using their homes, kids & animals to beg for money & it will not stop if only 1 or 2 of them are criticised for it. YouTube pays video creators (generously) for their video's & viewers give their time & support to help them earn money through ADs & sponsors. Viewers also pay to watch Ytube because it needs internet connection & videos use a lot of data. Youtube has also helped a lot of people earn money without begging & some people leave their jobs because they earn more through Ytube. I know people who have created businesses, bought & renovated their homes through YouTube (ADS, Merch etc) without begging not the way SJ & the Fleuries have done it. If people stopped responding, they would all stop begging.

This is what Stephanie Jarvis and Lalande's, "spawning their magic" looks like??? (Julia Leach's quote from her Lalande terrace speech, 6/22/21.)

It does not seem to be going well for Julia Leach and family. They have gone radio silent on YT and IG until they had a mention in the 1/22, BBC Stephanie Jarvis, article. Julia came out of hiding and had a IG post 2hrs ago. The middle of the night in California. It's a visa issue. Maybe, they should distance themselves from SJ and Co.???

2 HOURS AGO
Just waiting on visas, then we can return to our new love!

Julia Leach (right) wanted to swap New York for a quieter life in France


One person who bought a French chateau from Mr Chassin over the past year is American, Julia Leach.
The 30-year-old was inspired to purchase one after becoming an avid viewer of Ms Jarvis' The Chateau Diaries while she lived in New York.
"The contrast was stark between the hustle and work culture I was immersed in, and the slower pace of life of Stephanie's videos pulled at my heart," says Ms Leach, who shared Jarvis' videos with her family in California.
So in April 2021, Ms Leach, her partner, sister and their parents pooled their financial resources to buy the 12-bedroom, 13th-Century Chateau du Puy Vidal in Charente, southwest France, for €2.2m (£1.8m).

Ms Leach, who previously worked in film and television production, plans to turn the castle into a studio facility for filmmakers. And she naturally has also set up a YouTube channel - Lady of the Chateau Productions - which already has 13,000 subscribers.




So, until then I can only imagine how much the carrying cost must be???
Mom and Dad look less than pleased, dinning on packaged ham during their November visit to the chateau. Love the wonky candles.


NOVEMBER 22, 2021

Back in California...

Today she turned 27 and her papa still is tying her shoes laces


The California house is not on the market. Perhaps, Mom and Dad Leach have decided not to make the move???
At least, learn to speak French before embarking on a new life in France. Evidence, IG comment... and Julia's vlog about how difficult it was to set up utilities in broken French.

Congratulations. Time to find a French teacher

Definately you can't knock him for his working hard, he's certainly a grafter not a grifter. I know the chateau is his place of work and he certainly works for his wage. I would just like to see them together, as a family on a day trip out somewhere away from La Lande, or as you say better still a long overdue holiday.

Funny I was only just thinking about this bunch of clowns. Hope they've had a caretaker in their absence otherwise it won't be looking so pretty anymore once everything starts getting overgrown. Fools and their money.

Wooooow. This coming from SJ & Snorts. This is a new low especially since SJ and Snorts both show how low classed they are themself.

As for making comments on the mental/emotional health of a colleague/friend/cohabitant... just wow.

Snorts literally showed his great grandfathers mining tournamenet cup a few weeks ago he IS low working class people, grifter and has no money on his name which he worked hard for.

Edit:i'm truely shocked!!!

I’ve watched the Leach family and the comments are fab. They left a caretaker to look after the chateau whilst they return to usa to get their visas (what happens if the visas application is rejected?) Anywhoo…the vlog included a comment that the garden needed no attention in the winter. Remember the garden is on some French list of special gardens. Viewers were commenting (helpfully) that no work will need to be done. I predict they will sell up within 2 years. Absolutely no French language, no indication of understanding French culture or history. Much of the furniture and many paintings were left/included in sale. They have no idea. Curiosity man needs to help them.
Does owning property fast track visa applications?

It seems that online videos ,(YouTube etc) are one of the biggest causes for global warming - just like methane emissions and fossils energy. Because of the big datas centers where they are stored and treated.

Obviously none of these YouTubers care as long as they bank accounts are full.

Data centres has improved a lot in terms of electricity usage after the introduction of SSD's and water based cooling systems. Also they are able to store 10x more data then 10 years ago taking up the same space.

SJ also probably made that “working class” comment to Michael in private about someone, and Michael took it heart! He definitely avoids work…it’s so”lower class” isn’t it, Teabag? Need to wear Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and shiny white sneaks to make sure everyone knows you don’t lift a finger. Much better to hold out your hand and beg for it like your hero SJ, instead. When Teabeg borrowed €500 from SJ last year, I’ll bet tongues were wagging at LaLaLande. What’s even worse or lower than working class in SJ’s mind? A “friend” who has to beg her for money!

I understand this but it seems that they produce an awful lot of heat which contribute to the greenhouse effect (?) due to their number.
There are now 8 million of data centers mainly in the Western world. The multiplication of these data centers is the new big challenge for the future.

Ed wants to get his own coffee bought and have a bit less car, I am not certain but if that is a Tesla (€$€$++) he swans around in he wants to trade it in to drive a cheaper and/or older car. He does work very hard and Anna is a whizz with her florals.
