The Chateau Diaries #121 SJ wants 5* for 1* price while her guests get 1* for price of 5*

He is an egyptologist just as he is an expert of Italian pasta recipes... he gave a ridiculous and totally invented explanation of why the "spaghetti alla puttanesca" are called like that, adding that it is a typical Venetian recipe! Ahahahah. Has nothing to do with what he said and is one of the most Neapolitan pasta recipes. Poor chap.

@The Simple Life, I thought that too, full of BS. But, it also crossed my mind that he might have been inferring that they looked like hookers.

Did anyone notice the American woman's dress at the Ball when she was yet again talking to the egyptologist, her dress hoops were so uneven and she looked like she was going to topple over sideways at any minute.

, FRK is likely never been seen or heard of again.

Wonder where she's staying now; she posted that she was now based in rural France. Maybe she's at the house owned by that wedding celebrant friend.

Update to the first quote - Camilla Strong’s 8 year old daughter seems to have a more refined food taste than Snorty. Recall when they went to the market at Christmas and had lunch with Tante Chantal and Oncle Steve, Snorty didn’t know how to eat mussels and they seemed a foreign concept. This 8 year old child is more sophisticated than Snorty. Maybe Camilla throwing some shade.

mussels are not a foreign concept..at all... here in The Netherlands..he is just an alien..

See I think quite the reverse. If Stephanie Jarvis, the partial owner of Chateau de Lalande, swindler of Patreon and master manipulator behind the Chateau Unwrapped YouTube channel were to call it quits with Phyllis now, followed with a faked post-romance breakdown, then her followers would empathise the lack of progress with the association accounts and the renovations, clearly none of us here would since we're all heartless witches.... But I think we'd all be thankful to see the back of Phyllis and his thinning hair that I'd allow the breakdown for a short while. You know I'd even take the train down from Paris to help him pack up.

I'd also like to give a special mention to Stephanie Jarvis, the partial owner of Chateau de Lalande, swindler of Patreon and master manipulator behind the Chateau Unwrapped YouTube channel and Phyllis's new PR strategy; now taking aim at the voices of descent in the comments section. I think this must be in response to her YouTube Manager advising her to stop mass deleting comments as it's messing up her algorithm, so in contrast SJ just bites back - but by doing so she reveals her ignorance and total lack of humility. I'm enjoying it.

I agree, if the relationship is on it's way out, now would be the ideal time. The level of sympathy that would gush her way would be all encompassing; accounts. Lack of progress etc would all fade into the background.

She could cobble together a load of gardening, workshop, Forrest footage preparation for the B&B opening etc.

Check out M & M vlog those Lalande flowers are the remnants of what was left of her visit there, which were probably the remnants from Chateau de Brives wedding shoot earlier last week, FRK making good use of the floral hearse, where next ? Fleuries en route back to her Yorkshire 'wreet' workshop 10th / 11th March in Haworth. Before her return to France in April for floral workshops, where is she going to be based ?will she sofa surf or take on Blue Van Life ?

How long has she been trundling those flowers around in the floral hearse? She was unpacking them and "conditioning" them at Sara and George's place. They are well past their best, although many of us will remember the reduced price wilted yellow tulips (still toting the reduced sticker.) that FRK bought in Aldi to take on her first visit to the Fleuries! She clearly specialises in the half-dead look! Still wonder who was footing the bill for those flowers. The Morticia Addams of the floral Underworld.

not to mention the left over pasta from Flowerkillers visit... those sprouts looked disgusting..I am sure Madame had something else and better to nibble when she buggered off to her boudoir...That volunteer, forgot her name.. also didnt look very happy with the food...

I’m afraid eating would be the last thing I would want to do in that kitchen. That place needs a sandblasting. How can these people not see it? 🥸 But, setting that aside, most normal people would want their guests well cared for. We know this bunch isn’t normal and could care less. Princess is probably mad that there wasn’t all her favorite foods waiting for her glorious return to the shitoo.

We can be assured when he’s reached his expiration date she will have his exit all ready to go. It will be a interesting to see how he responds. My guess is he will misbehave.

Was Fanny sending a message to FRK by removing the flowers left in her boudoir and putting them on the kitchen table along the flowers already there? "This is what I think of you and your flowers"?
It certainly looked inviting - flowers past their best, reheated pasta with peas and sprout pasta! Anyone tempted to book ?

Latest CD vlog.

They have definitely no boundaries regarding their privacy. The first minutes of the vlog are shocking : filming the Chatelaine calling her elderly mother who is in her hospital bed just after surgery for the entire world to see it ?? And all the "I love you Mamaaan" ??

Disturbing - for the viewers and for this family. Something is really wrong with them.

Harder and harder to watch them now.

There are EasyJet flights from Verona to Paris, therefore no need to return to Venice.
So did they return to Venice after a side trip to Verona?
Probably not.
that means Mummee's eye surgery took place when Fanny was leaving Venice.

That was over a week ago and explains why Mummee, now recovered, was on this week's chat.
on the Patron video,
Fanny only showed a still pic of Mummee post-op, but clearly that was an old photo.

Fanny outright lied by telling people on the patron video that Mummee had just had surgery the day she arrived back at HMN.

What bullshit!

Anything to keep the $ rolling in
Stephanie Jarvis is a selfish, deceitful, manipulative charlatan.

Of course, they are now creating a life to vlog rather than vlogging their life. How awful.

That appears to be what happens with most YT "influencers"; it's a very sad situation. What a life to lead and any critics are accused of being jealous! It's similar to the people who travel abroad or go to a museum or art gallery merely to take photographs and they never actually look at what they are photographing. I remember when Selmar was filming in the Grand Place in Brussels and he said something like, "I can't wait to see this on a large screen, it must be wonderful"; he was actually standing in the real place but just looking at it through his camera! They are living a fake life, nothing is real. I wonder if they will regret living like that when they become old and realise that they were never truly present in their own lives, just holding a camera and not really seeing anything in front of them. None of them lives in the moment.

@Jeeves. It's only the over spill super fans/cult members from CD that book any of her workshops, which she is nowadays only hanging onto by a thread. No wonder she has to recycle flowers because God alone knows how she is actually making a living.

Oh sorry forgot, she didn't have to buy her own van, pay rent/bills just like the rest of us mere mortals do that haven't, "as feataured on Channel 4's Chateau DIY" as she repeatedly has to keep reminding everybody on her IG.

A few months ago many of us speculated that Snorty would be gone before Venice and definitely by Easter. He's still there dammit!

The next time Fanny needs some sympathy and a storyline to avoid publishing the accounts/fallout from publishing the accounts, then that's an ideal time for Fanny to dump Snorty, deflect attention and garner sympathy for her plight.

@MojoDublin. Another very well known N trait. Create confusion 100% of the time. That way the N can always deny, deny, deny with they eyelids blinking 10 to the dozen.

Once again, they ordered from Belgium (wood after trees) because Davy knows some suppliers over there ?? And delivered by a Belgian truck ?

What was the cost of this special delivery ??

Are they mad ?

 

[HalcyonOrganic]

I never had strong feelings about Natti but her Instagram is super cringey now, reflecting the cringey relationship. She's added Amaury's name to the bio, along with the awful new username, and deleted a bunch of her own old photos.

She's in her 40s, why is she suddenly trying to do the insta thing now just because she has a handsome new squeeze? I fully expect someone to include their couple pictures and even post more if they're in a happy time of life but going for a lifestyle account type thing doesn't suit her vibe at all. Nevermind the joint account malarkey.

I know that poster came that was a tit stirrer but is it true Amaury has children?

I don't know if there's been speculation or rumours but I'd not be surprised if Natti ends up pregnant. That'll keep me tuned in 100%, I'd love to see how that'd shift loyalties.

Ok and while I'm here, the courtyard looks like a dog's breakfast. It's never going to look ok with stupid flat trees standing around in the middle like a restaurant table number. Davy has nfi what he's doing. You're better off with Dan and his sunflowers

I don’t think Amaury is allowed to talk to other women anymore, outside the convent … the .. the coven.. no, I meant the commune. We all know how obsessive relationships develop over time…

Hello to Stephanie and to all Lalanders! I'm Ukrainian and also I'm your loyal fan who's watching your vlog for 2 years now. Your blog has always been a fresh breeze in the world of covid uncertainty. Your vlog is all about escapism. But now I have a request for you. It's really not about politics,not about taking sides. It's about future of all of us. Ukranians need to stop catastrophe. And everyone in Europe can help. Especially those with big internet auditories. It is cruicially important to make Europe, US and NATO make next things: CLOSE SKY OVER UKRAINE, GIVE UKRAINE FIGHTER JETS and SEND UN PEACKEEPING FORCES! Western countries unwilling do this because they don't want to be military engaged. But now we're facing possible nuclear catastrophe that will be everyone's problem not only in Ukraine. Biggest nuclear plant in Europe is taken by russian forces. Ukraine also needs "no-fly zone" and fighter jets because every day Russia is bombing our cities with civilians. People, children are dying. I'm in Kyiv now with my family and my 3 year old son, so I know what I'm talking about. It is important to make everyone know in Western countries why Ukraine needs "no-fly" zone. Make posts, talk to your friends about it. Address to authorities in social media. As much as you can. Please, do this for Ukraine and for yourself in the end.

My thoughts on the flower girl is she is her own worst enemy. I’m not sure what happened in the UK with her most recent situation, which seemed to be a generous gesture made for her by strangers, because she now has left that all behind along with Sarah the editor who made her vlogs a little more professional. Now, she’s wandering around until someone else takes pity on her. Her time at the shitoo is done. Princess made that perfectly clear by not showing up or inviting her to the trip to Venice. I suspect that flower girl doesn’t want to be used so she has worn out her welcome.

Let me see if I understood this correctly. Patrons who are paying for the all of the materials and labor have to wait until.the fall to see the Grand Salon progress because you are using the renovations for the DIY television series? Please explain this, because by no means is this acceptable.. .

Whether you find it acceptable or not is immaterial as Stephanie has a contract with Channel Four which preceded her setting up the patreon account.

My sentiments exactly @Espe. I stopped taking photos of worldwide destinations I visit years ago, simply because, who the hell would want my photos/videos or remember what they meant to me when I am gone? My son wouldn't know where 75% of them were taken or, most likely, the majority of the people featured in them. Generally, from my experience, most end up in a charity shop, which unfortunately I have personally seen the evidence of that being the case.

It's a given. My thoughts, feelings and memories are my own and my personal experience of where I have been throughout my life, and most especially, how I felt in those moments too.

Obviously, I have kept photos of family portraits/gatherings over the past 100 years, and recently started writing on the back of each who/what they represent within my very large family history.

BTW, I would make an absolute crap vlogger because I would be far too engrossed in the moment in any given "place". Suits me.
