I bet the orders for Printed LiLande aprons, wrapping pappers, napkins, mugs etc have already been placed with China... in the cargo ships and on their way to the chateau...
Yes! It's a CHOICE Kenneth, not a three day event... so pop in, buy some tatt and duck off... No malingering Buddy
Let's get some popcorn!!!!Boom boom boom go those jungle drums
I love that you've credited the pair of them with enough entrepreneurial know-how and competence to arrange that in time for Sept, and yet, they cannot publish their association accounts from 2020 and 2021..... Somehow I think it'll be no more than bric-a-brac on tables to peruse over, maybe some pots of LieLande honey.
SJ must be kicking herself that she didn't go down the Flueries route because she is pushed up against a wall for as long as she draws an income from Patreon.... ducking and diving to avoid accountability and dragging out lies is a full time occupation for her now. A very sorry existence. I think at first it must have been fun for her to deceive, fun for her to spend other people's money, fun for her to document it for all to see, but in reality I think it's a constant burden to keep the plates spinning. I think we should all notice the lack of the regular pre-pandemic faces of friends and family at the chateau. Ollie, David, Donna, Mummy, Percy, Gerry, Metherdick, Ruthie, Potts and Bag Head Nick, music workshops were there almost every other weekend when she claimed poverty and now they've scuttled away. Pray, I wonder why that could possibly be? Something is afoot that is making people keep well away, and I don't think it's just the rising damp behind the façade.....
I'm so so so hoping the dissenting patrons who're gathering under the cover of darkness turn up en masse and express their displeasure. We now know when Patreon Day is due to take place so we could air bomb the chateau with leaflets detailing our grievances.

Yes, someone has already mentioned that hopefully one of Isabelle's gang will make the pilgrimage for the Association's AGM, AKA Garden Party in SJ's terminology.I'd say that it's the perfect opportunity for the group of patrons that is trying to get her to own up to her "mistakes" and hold her accountable. To go there and ask all the annoying questions Stephanie Jarvis deletes and blocks online, but can't ignore when asked directly. Also, as this "party" will be the yearly by law mandatory meeting of members of her association, maybe they can put some of these subjects on the official agenda and even try to have a vote to get management replacedWishful thinking, I know, but hey, why not?
Or, even better, that things will have progressed enough for the AGM to be totally unnecessary.
I thought the Flueries have gone down the same path as Stephanie. What do you mean by theirs is a different route?
Just watched Stephanie on the Patron video. Does anyone else find that Stephanie is aging quite quickly. You can see all the wrinkles under her makeup.
As Green peace activists. something spectacular.
I commented a few threads ago that I imagined Amaury Richmond would be a real "scrapper" after a few too many drinks. The alcohol eventually releasing all his pent up frustrations etc. AND, let's be honest living at the HMN is frustrating 24/7.
Have we ever seen the potato hills?
I fear the "light lunch".
How can she possibly say eff you to the Patreons in food -- as she does to the Lalacelles, her volunteers, her b n b guests, and friends gathered for Easter?
Firstly, there will be one ounce or less of meat per person, if any, in the form of shaved supermarket charcuterie. I fear, however, "light" means no meat.
Ditto, supermarket cheese.
Big salads of the cheaper supermarket vegetables, like cabbage and potatoes. Possibly dressed with sunflower seed oil from the jarred artichoke hearts and topped with crumbled faux-truffle-flavored potato chips.
"Light" also means no dessert, and possibly no wine. Boxed rosé.
And I suspect she will be charging the Patreons for the food, as she does her friends. She asks her guests to pay €50 for wine and cheese. I suspect Patreons will be asked the same.
Meanwhile, this is what the tiny local restaurant, Le Relais du Facteur, serves as a boxed lunch picnic menu at that time of year for €10. And, I have to say, lentil salad with cold melon, chevre and blueberries is one of life's better pleasures. But for €10, the Relais customers also get cold ham or a frittata. And a gorgeous sounding strawberry mousse. What's good about lentil salad, ham, and strawberry mousse is it has a little shelf life in the refri and outside it. Unlike dressed veg, unrefrigerated quiche custard and pastry.
And here is what is available at the farmers' markets.
French seasonal basket - September 2018
En saison: What to put on your plate this monthBecause the French never eat strawberries in winter and even different types of goat’s cheese have seasonality...
Aubergine, tomato, salad, lettuce, lentils, pulses, green beans, artichoke, carrot, courgette, watercress, salsify, sweetcorn, turnip, onion, pepper, fennel, cucumber, squash, cauliflower, chard, potato, pumpkin, spinach, radish, broccoli.
Herring, hake, mussels, red mullet, crab, red gurnard, sea bream, squid, Mediterranean anchovy, whiting, mackerel, sardines, shrimp, periwinkle.
As a top tier patron, I would be looking for meat and wine, not to put too fine a point on it. As well as local seasonal vegetables.
Figs with balsamic vinegar, mint and hazelnuts
Demitasse of red mullet ceviche
Ham with lentil salad and cold melon
Green beans and potatoes, a la Nicoise
Homemade plum ice cream, with grilled plums and Lalande honey
Summer pudding

Oh and Stress for lying
I think the biggest puzzle is where Fanny has been or is at the moment after her Venice shenanigans. All of the vlogs released in the last 2 weeks are at least that in age so there has been nothing new or current on CD or f/b in that time. I don’t watch grabeaux at the shittoo so can’t comment on when that was filmed but something is afoot and I don’t think she has been at the shittoo at all.
Exactly. Middle of the week, back to school week.
Everything is that workshop, to me anyway, just looks too perfect, too clean like it's hardly every been usedif at all. I do wonder he's ever had to work to a deadline for a customer. He should try living in my world, my poor husband trying to keep on schedule when customers keep f'kin it up all the time. I just wonder if he's just been playing at it and this is the first 'real' large scale work he's ever taken on. Something just doesn't add up to me.
Well, she opened a gift that was actually some tea jelly she ordered before Christmas to make something for the advent calendars (?). And she couldn't as it hadn't arrived.
SJ is wearing black nail polish
I could be wrong, but I don't expect more than 200 people to show up, and that's being optimistic. Fanny is planning on a low turnout, thus the lack of planning and late notice. Fanny didn't even provide an RSVP deadline so she could confirm numbers, because she's not expecting many guests.
Most patrons live quite a distance from Crozon-sur-Vauvre and the majority of the patrons are American.
It takes time and planning to travel to Crozon-sur-Vauvre and you don't go there on a whim.

It takes time and planning to travel to Crozon-sur-Vauvre and you don't go there on a whim.
Travel to the shiteau is:
- 4 hour drive from Paris
- 2.5 hour train to Argenton Sur Creuse + a 40 min taxi ride that costs atleast USD100
- 2.0 hour train to Chateauroux + 35 min bus ride to Neuvy Saint-Sépulchre Place du Champ de Foir + a 20 min. taxi ride that costs atleast USD
- It's unlikely Fanny going to put on coaches to and from either Argenton Sur Creuse or Chateauroux stations to ferry patrons?
- There are very few places to stay in Crozon-sur-Vauvre, so will patrons be keen to do a long return trip from/back to Paris in one day? It can be done, but how many will be prepared to drive or travel 8 hours in a day for an afternoon tea party?
- Overseas travel is expensive, especially now. If I were a rabid patron willing to spend time and money to travel to Lalande, I'd prefer to book at full weekend as a B&B guest and have and entire evening and dinner with Fanny (and hope for an invite to a kitchen dance party)
- How many will be prepared to travel overseas to France just for an afternoon tea party? The patron party would form part of a larger travel itinerary which most people would co-ordinate & book well in advance
- Two months is relatively short notice and most people have already planned their travel for this year
- Anyone with school age children likely aren't coming because Fall (or as Snorty says, Autumnul) term starts in early September.
- Unlikely Nick and Marie be there if Anton is starting back at school. Nick won't be there anyways - what's he going to do, walk around with a bag on his head the entire day? Potty may be there since the Patron Party falls during the week in between the Dutch Grand Prix and Monza.
I’ve been waiting for you to comment on the wood work we saw. It’s good to hear from someone in the know that we are not all too far off track smelling a rat.
Oh jeez. You know, this is the movie. The Lalande Spinal Tap movie.Yes, the Patrons can go to La La Lande, visit the Squirrel Shoppe, and buy back the gifts they shipped!
