The Chateau Diaries #110 By the way, her Dutch love child is a talentless Prig

[Fennelbug]

Because Sj is having an affair with a married man perhaps?(not insinuating Dan!)

Hmmmm....? I agree - maybe there is someone else that is probably not Dan. Because who would really want to bone Snorts? Perhaps The CamelPud is a red herring ? But for whom??....hmmmm....

Loads of info on Wiki

Land Girls (TV series) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Thank you. Wow, it aired in 2009 ... I'm surprised I havent heard of it until now! It sounds interesting and got a good reception. I'll add it to my watch list.

I'm on a pc - it looks the same as yours. Are others on their phone?

Most of the time I'm on a PC and can see the buttons under the title on each page. I use my phone some times, but usually just to try to keep up, so I can't remember if the buttons are usually there or not, right now they aren't.

That’s weird! I’ve NEVER had that button at the top of each page. I’ve always had to hit the “Wiki” button and then search for “The Chateau Diaries” on a screen where all the Wikis are listed alphabetically. I’ve never had the ability to click a button and go directly to “The Chateau Diaries” Wiki page.

Here’s what I see…when I hit the Wiki button to the right of “Forums”, I have to find “The Chateau Diaries” by scrolling through the list alphabetically.

Between the farmhouse & the London flat, her b & b takings are quite good. I would think if she had 220 bookings, that would translate to roughly 400 guests give or take. I could be wrong, but my reasoning behind those numbers is that she was fully booked last year when I scrolled through her calendar last spring. Only one room is set up as a single, the rest are double occupancy, one is touted as being "perfect for families".


I'm not sure, but I think she operates from March to October so that's 245 days.

Thanks for clarifying!

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but does anybody know how much lalande was bought for?

Oh, it was not bought, it was more something like this...

Ok so I was in Waterstones (a bookstore) yesterday and I noticed our Don Jarvis's new read - she thought it AMAZING!
Firstly, SJ you presented this as a charity shop find, which of course it wasn't, seeing it was a recent release and a 2022 edition cover.

Secondly, I read the recommendations on the back sleeve. Note Amanda Foreman's it may suggest why Don Jarvis thought the book to be so AMAZING. Her reading literature speaks to her need for status and ownership. She doesn't strike me as a particularly clever person as she hints to this need in almost all vlogs, when one would assume one would conceal it as much as poss, but then again, I questioned if she were goading us Tartlets with it. I would guess she knows all too well the majority of her militia and patrons hang off of every word she utters and don't feel the need to question her sincerity.

Anyone here read this? What new forms of grifting has Fanny learnt from it?
I have been lucky to pick up a few new books in secondhand shops but I don't believe Fanny did! I just put a hold on it at my local library.

Unless you’re me, then it’s a black Samsonite hard case. Those suckers last forever and take a beating!

Don't get pilfered or pirated or examined by suspicious customs inspectors either.

I can't see the wiki button or the old threads button again? Anyone else?

Oh you're right, theyd be idiots not to rent out the place in south of France, but if it was IJ's mom's home, then there are other family members to consider. I'm going to assume that other siblings are the caretakers and if it's leased out they are the overseers. Stephanie hasn't visited or even mentions it much so I don't think it's in her realm of properties? Thoughts?
Now the house in Suffolk is definitely strange if it's left empty and unused. She never popped over there during her London visits to even check on it. Again, maybe Isabelle's sister does that? I agree, the properties would be alot for Percy and IJ to manage on their own,and we know how Stephanie manages things.

Ahh... I didn't realize that the apartment was the grandmother's! I thought it was IJ's. Either way, I agree that it isn't in SJ's financial realm, along with the English house. Whenever I start thinking about the AirBnB business, the beach house brings IJ's other house(s) to mind, but I didn't mean to imply that she has any right to the profits of IJ's own assets. My bad.

What is the point of a 'loo selfie'? If she thinks she looks good and wants to show us, then why not choose a nice background or setting?

Was pre or post pinching of the goddess loaf?

I can't see the wiki button or the old threads button again? Anyone else?

The threads blue button and the pink wiki button have disappeared for me too. They did a few days ago and then returned. Hopefully its just the owners doing work on the site.

 

[Boohoo67]

what did Percy do for a living? How can he afford that house?

She really is as histrionic as a burgeoning adolescent girl.

I can't help but remember what poor quality the Sherry is they purchased.

Me neither. It sent me on a very pleasant sherry Google. It revealed that all the hipsters in Spain are drinking Spanish sherry. rather a different substance from the granny juice Snigolo purveys.
US hipsters making cocktails with it.

The Cocktail Ivy Mix Likes to Drink at the End of the Night

The legendary bartender makes a case ending the night by over this sherry and tequila cocktail: "It's a real dark thinker."

Info on Kindle says it was published 15th April 2021 voted a Vogue best book of 2021... cover is the same..

@KyBourbon can you see them now? This is what they look like to me.

yippee it is back! Yes, this is what I see! I assumed everyone did, so when we refer people to wiki this is where I think they can go with ease!!
