The table is an outdoor table because it is outdoors under a veranda. Behind Mummy you can see the outside window ledge.
Strange Potty is there too. Wonder if they all flew over together? We will have to wait and see if Potty is in any of Fannys videos or if she will pretend it's only Gerry and Phiphi with her.

Mummee is keeping her friends close and her enemies closer! Snorty is too smug to notice!

Isn’t it funny/strange that Potty is featured in a lot of the pics. He seems to be always there even when he has Ruthie in tow. I wonder where she is? There doesn’t seem to be an empty seat!

It's kind of a Daddy-porn shrine- I don't understand at all why Percy has not made her sell it, and buy a home for them instead. The SA house needs some serious work as well, as Fanny showcased her digs during her stay in 2020 (ugh, that bathroom said it all- it's very 80s dated.) The house has great potential , but needs a serious renovation.

I don’t think that’s Potty.

I think they rent it out when they are not there. I don’t have a citation for you but I saw it in the threads somewhere. Please don’t come @ me.

i somehow have the feeling she is always a sour puss off camera..
Ironically, SJ would be quite irritated if the subjects of her photos/videos responded the way she is when she puts the camera on them!!
She has not looked up in any photo - while it is clear everyone else has been instructed to "look here"!!!

Yeah, that bathroom was icky. I can see some Airbnb people not loving that bathroom . The rest of the house looked ok for a beach house property. Its super modern in design . I wouldn't mind having a vacation beach house.

So, Isabelle's UK property in Suffolk ... Does it remain empty and unused for most of the year or is it also rented out? Since she spends most her time between SA and Lalande.

Yeah, if I was Philip I'd feel so strange having my girlfriends ex bf and his family around .

She’s not the center of attention in the photo…and the photo is of no importance or monetary value to her. So she’s totally disinterested in participating.

I believe they normally live at Percy's home (I guess their home now) in Pretoria (9 hours away from the beach house, I learned this courtesy of @Clara Burnett a thread or so ago). So this is still just a vacation home for them.

If I was Potty I’d feel strange when BJJ is around!

If you watch the vlog of when she went to SA 2 years ago, right before COVID you will see her tour of the beach house and the art Derek did specifically for the beach house. It's a very modern place. They bought an old run down house and did extensive renovation and addition to it. The vlog is also in wiki, in the section on the Jarvis properties.

Her bathroom at the beach house was very dated, BUT Nick's bathroom was quite lovely and recently renovated. Her bedroom and bath is in the older original part of the house.

I did several similar classes quite some years ago, working through introductory, basic, intermediate, advanced levels and then short courses for weddings, Christmas, pressed flowers, etc They were very affordable. Our tutor (who as well as being a professional and skilled florist, held an adult education teaching certificate) systematically taught flower conditioning, wiring of flowers and foliage, preparation of containers, dimensions, heights and so on, use of accessories, designing and arranging fresh and silk flowers and working through one specific project each week. We too brought our own materials with us, although we could purchase some floral supplies from the tutor, like Oasis, floral tape, frogs, etc. and she would usually provide additional greenery for anyone who needed extra.

Reality on holiday - your stalker support animal has usurped your life to such an extent - YOU are now the add on to WE and he rocks a swimsuit better ….

the smug look on his face says it all - he believes he’s arrived -

the irony is - it’s at a plastic table setting - exactly like his granny’s table

Stephanoligy is deliberately avoiding the picture - she’s the picture of misery - mummy’s definitely twisting the knife with that fake smile

BJJ hasent lost his appetite- his plates loaded

You can’t tell me he eats all of that and it stays in his body, as proud as he is of his skinny little legs. Not to mention all of the calories he consumes drinking all day.

thanks so much, just about to look at the site. Importation too expensive with the customs duties for me, and $68 is two weeks grocery money for me here, but maybe some retired artisans i know may be able to rig up something similar, the huge rat just ran past the cages again last night - stewing steak in one, and the popes nose from a chicken was in the other. always worked before at the other house on the farm, but not this one. Puzzled
\Gosh quite a few options on the site, going to study in depth and find out importation costs etc., better go back to topic before knuckle wrap. thanks again xx

Agreed - Squirrel wants a staring role and don't think he will be happy fading to the wings like Potty and Nic and be satisfied in the ensemble .
