God I would love to go Jules but sadly cannot. 😢
If I could I would be wearing a yellow toile de jouy dress with matching high heels or gumboots - depending on weather and in my suitcase a boat load of Tim Tams for the paaarty !!!

Oh man -- I didn't think you literally meant 'southernmost." Doh!! I was there last September and loved your town.

Thank you. Me and my fiancé, Johnny the Bonnie, will be there. The yellow dress will bring out the green in my eyes and skin. Can't wait!
I will be wearing a gigantic yellow dupatta over my sober taupe romper and dress flipflops.

Jules, I'd love to join, but I've already planned a wine tasting trip with my youngest daughter from Sept 6 - 8.
I'd so enjoy the bars and gossipy witches and it would be fun hanging out in the Tikihut drinking Miller Lite! (You may need to get a keg on tap)

That sounds like it would be such a good time!!! If my daughter was still living down your way- Boca- I would sure try to schedule a visit then! But sadly, I won’t be headed that way anytime soon! Darn, I had the perfect dress picked out too (even with knickers!)! Boyfriend, nahhhh, I’d have to bring my one and only, that man I live with....well I gotta have a place to live and it’s been almost 37 years!!! Been together almost 42 yrs. Well that’s enough about me! I know the Tartlets of SoFlo will have a blast and never run out of very intriguing conversation!!! Cheers!!! 🥂
***Oh I just realized in Key West!!! That’s even better!!! Southern breezes and champagne!

I will be travelling 🛩 but I will be sure to WhatsApp from my island in the sun 🏝with a tiki cocktail in hand. I will pack my tiara and a yellow swimming costume Just for this momentous Tartlet Day.

Do better you need to hand paint them like Anna.
I’m sorry.

I would so love to come to this and visit my cousins in Fort Lauderdale on the way. But it's a bit out of the way for me, being in the southern hemisphere 🗺🌏🌍🌎♥:cool: I am sure you will do us proud and vlog every second! xx

Can we organise a Tartlet day for the UK too? I have a yellow dress (bought it from the Cancer Research Charity Shop) which fits the Emmanaus vibe. Will probably invest in some Tena Ladies pants as might have an accident whilst laughing too much at discussing Fannie's antics.
Not sure if the tiara I'm thinking of ordering will fit the bill.. 👇 Thoughts? 😂
With regard to inappropriate boyfriends does this mean we have to find one of Fannie's inappropriate boyfriends? Can I have the workaway one who had to be chucked out of the chitooooo for inappropriate behaviour - or have I got that wrong?
Finally - will we want to order a job lot of La Lande character face masks to complete the look?
Yes, UK Tartlet Day is a great idea & @Princess and the Pea, you are now in charge of organizing it. The tiara you have in mind is paarfect, perhaps gold leaf it? You can claim any work-away you want, that’s how it works. Instead of ordering Lalande character face masks, I would prefer you to watercolor paint them by hand. Everything needs to be classy.

Had to stop watching at 7 minutes. He says the chateau is a depreciated asset. Well....they bought the place knowing that it has structural issues, and now he's basically trying to explain how it will continue to depreciate as nothing has been done to replace lintels and shore up the structure at the basement level.
And he accepts this as nothing WILL be done to fix it. Huh....this chateau will only continue to fall slowly apart as long as these idiots own it. Wanted to live in a chateau in France, yet no funds to fix it. I despise people who do this to properties.
So many do it, looking at it through rose tinted spectacles. Even those who just decide to upsticks, move to France and buy a normal house again it's not for everyone. A chateau, easy to buy but difficult and costly to maintain.

Agree @Trengilly :

'Could I also point out that Stephanie has said nothing throughout Pride month - considering a large proportion of her fan base and her detractors here, at Tattle Towers, are from the LGBTQI+ community she has said nothing to celebrate us or fight for our rights'

Exactly what I thought, but then she didn't vlog for the Diamond Jubilee either, both huge milestones this year - odd and disrespectful considering we get Dutch Day, Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, NYE, any day that she can have a party and vlog content with really :unsure:

'I suspect it may well be her loyal band of bible clutching militia that prevents Stephanie tight lipped with her political thoughts knowingly all too well they are paying for her non-existent renovations'

Which I why I thought she was being a tadge risque featuring the gay couple's mock wedding blessing in the chapel. I immediately thought she was possibly alienating the Bible belt Superfans.

She's all over the place lately, but then, what's new :rolleyes:
Seems like she is moving away from celebrations. July 4th may be a no show too. But we will see on Tonight.

I think the apartment of Potts has been upgraded in priority since he broke up with Ruthy And may be spending time alone at the dump.

I also think Fanny has tried to find companies to sponsor her channel and has failed so she is trying to get Patrons to come up with a company willing to sponsor the channel or willing to target any company name she tosses out as wanting to be a sponsor. Fanny would never turn down an opportunity to make money. Do you really think, as she says to her Patrons, that it just suddenly occurred to her to try to get a sponsor?

Maybe sponsors want proof that you aren’t buying subscribers, views, are not in violation of multiple laws, rules, etc.? Dealing with LieLande is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
She has already signed I’m up with that xyz marketing company. So asking her patrons is a mute point. Proof is in her YouTube distribution. We spoke about it a thread ago.

Grandson of Champagne family. Historically military leaders going back hundreds of years. I think they are now part of the big luxury brands group with LV. There’s probably a lot of family that have had the money spread out amongst them, thus diminishing it. It’s also not like they are taking that money and reinvesting in businesses that continue to generate great wealth. Classic case of following generations not being as wealthy the further down you go.

There’s probably a set investment income figure and they don’t touch the capital or bye bye investment income. If markets tank, less income, etc. they are probably trying to be net self-sufficient on measly money.

Basically they have failed to bring in the kind of Youtube income as the others and it’s like a job failure really. Couldn’t do the job. You have to treat it like a job. If you’re “off” all the time because of “life” issues you’re not going to be very good at your job. I was and am successful at work and business but I don’t have kids or go on vacation all the time or have a perfect house or spend a bunch of time pursuing my hobbies.

They take forever to do things or they don’t film or they quit for a while. All not conducive to YouTube success.
Well, she doesn't have the soap opera that is Lalande. Or maybe she does and doesn't want to film it -- she natters on about filming private life in the chateau and frankly M[y]E[eyes]G[laze]O[ver]™. Was this the dig at Stephanie? Meanwhile she films a truly grotty non-renovation of her shocking bathroom and does not consider that TMI?
She could actually have done some good by filming the mentally ill Workaway volunteer.
So she doesn't have the killer instinct Jarvis and Philipp do -- it makes for less successful YT.
She could do French life but perhaps does not parlez vous like the Fleuries do -- Benoit and Nathan full characters in the soap opera.
They're plastering some part of the heap, and I am totally down for every lime plaster moment that exists -- me and the hard core reno people. Not enough of that, and not as well executed or filmed as Budo or Dan, respectively, do it.
Etc. There's plenty of content, but doing rumtopf without pitting the cherries or the mirabelles "because I am too busy" is another food crime against humanity (@BlessingoftheHounds, smootches!) and just asking for a disgusting dish threatening cracked teeth to all your winter solstice guests. Joyeux Noel!!!!
Ninety per cent of the YT battle is narrative and story ideas. As it is for journalism.

as I have said I like these two and feel they are honest I just don't approve of Patreon full stop for renovation work it is not for a Heritage charity it is for the benefit of the individuals who own the buildings. These two work and are clearly passionate about their home and they don't appear to be liars either and I really enjoy their logs. Anna is very talented and they both seem natural there is no gushing.
I agree, I enjoy their vlogs, but am a little wary of them these days, especially after the arse licking at LieLand that went on recently.
The lines are blurry between 'renovation' & decoration'. I don't get where The Fleuries and SJ think gardens are renovating. That comes under 'decorating' surely.

He said he has got a structural engineer coming in. What I was thinking weird was how the previous owner was pointing this out now, why, did he not point it out before the sale.

I already made bespoke avatar tiles for the people that have joined in the discussion about Tartlet Days, Sept 6, 7 & 8 in Key West, FL, but if anyone else wants one, let me know. They are very easy for me to make, super cheap, but look sooo expensive. It’s a fun way to pretend to be like Stephanie with Daddy’s tiles.

Sorry if you thought I RSVP'd -- in my dreams alone, 1000 pardons. Key West and Havana are my two most favorite places in the universe.
So much fun, thank you Jules. Delft porn tiles all around!!!!! And pornstar martinis with Grandmama's receipt.

Stop it! I've got the Pablo 120 set. 😤 I'd hate to see Stephanie Jarvis sully the good name of Caran D'Ache.


Don't forget watching dolphins...

Speaking of the sun...

I’m actually really surprised that Michael posted this on Instagram. He made such a big deal about replacing the 2nd floor joists in the cottage with OAK beams. It HAD to match what was there before. And the new staircase HAD to be made from oak….no other wood would do. Now, he’s highlighting that the beams in the cottage bedroom roof are’t entirely oak…and he’s going to show us how to fake it? I’m shocked he’s not ripping out the beams and making them all oak. Of course, if anyone knows how to “fake it” it’s Teabag!

Especially an English garden at a French farmhouse, like the dump.

Previous owner pointing out that still nothing has been fixed as per the agreement when they purchased the property?
