Zero Alcohol Freixenet is lovely if you like bubbles... as good as any Prosecco I've tasted ... 3 for £15 at Morrisons... 1.5 syns on SW.I’ve been drinking non alcoholic Martini with a mixer as you can then start drinking mid afternoon and not be asleep by 6pm. It is £8 in Sainsburys at the moment. I also mix it with soda water

Actually Jeeves, if you are maybe contemplating taking even more years off your age and, why not?
Would you like me to ask Stephanie Jarvis,
sorry, Caroline Gooder, where she goes for her frequent botox injections? Personal recommendation is always the best way forward and we all know that it makes sense! There may even be a discount involved if we mention their names - who knows? 
Me also, I’d throw my husband over for a rich man with a pension and health insurance!
@french.asf Her stories are where she posts a ton, like several things a day.
Key West, and Havana, my happy place.Tartlet Days September 6,7 & 8 in Key West, FL. It’s easiest if you live in Florida, but open to all. Yellow dresses, tiaras & inappropriate boyfriends are optional. Knickers are also optional, but recommended. RSVP ASAP.
Seeing this and all the other comments from our American cohort makes me extremely jealous. I’ve always fantasised about visiting the Keys (probably read too much Hemingway) and all the food and drink you all talk about means nothing to me but sounds so enticing. My tiara will have to stay safely locked away for another occasion as I can’t get there. Anyway upload lots of pictures of all the fun and I’ll raise a glass to you all in spirit. You lucky things.
My favorite memory of Key West is waking up at dawn, bicycling to the Cuban bakery for hot Cuban bread for breakfast, and seeing and hearing the fighting cocks greet the dawn in the Cuban hood.
Here's a Keys-ish menu from Miami Spice, the cookbook, which does a great job with Florida fusion cooking (Miami being the capital of the Caribbean, Central, and South America). You can get a used paperback copy off Ama for $1.46. I bet the Floridians have some terrific menu ideas too.
Mojitos
Chicharrones
Conch Chili
Shark en Escabeche
Pan Roasted Mutton Snapper with Raisins, Capers, and Pine Nuts
Coconut Rice
Black Bean Salsa
Florida Slaw (mango, carambola, Scotch bonnet, etc)
Guava Cheesecake
Cuban Coffee
Here's Raichlen's recipe for a rum runner cocktail, serves 2. A little more elaborate than what actual drinkers around those parts swig. But luscious.
1 oz. light rum
1 oz. dark rum
1/2 oz. 151 proof rum
1 1/2 oz. banana liqueur
1 oz. blackberry brandy or sloe gin
1/2 oz. grenadine
1 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1 1/2 c crushed ice
Combine ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
Pour into tumblers and garnish with lime wedges and bikini tops. Yo ho ho.
He also has a South Beach sangria, with brown sugar, carambola, mango, etc.
Vanilla Keys
Chocolate Keys

Yuck. Reminds me of Silly Putty.That color? Really?
It’s all lovely but when in the keys it must be Key lime pie
No one else on this planet has room for a pergola the size of that which has been built at the HMN.If they are going to grow something like Bougainvillea and/or Wisteria over it, the supports need to be really strong. I would love one but don't have the room.
Who the hell really wants to promenade through to a dead end or sit in a common garden potager filled with squawking chickens and peacock poo?
That's really nice, I also enjoy a Crodino and sodaI’ve been drinking non alcoholic Martini with a mixer as you can then start drinking mid afternoon and not be asleep by 6pm
But, I don’t want that to be true.
Larkin kinky? Maybe in your dreams. In reality he is only willing to act up (or I should say dress down) for the true love of his life Stephanie Jarvis, who likes him best in tight leather jeans, no top and a bit of fur. She likes fur on all her "man", of which Larkin (I hate to admit) is the most masculine of them all, boring, but definitely masculine.
Is this the only reason Annalise is still invited to anything? So she’ll keep doing Fannys hair? And does she do it for free?View attachment 1403642
Summer garden party and a sleepover for Annalise and the boys??? Sure.
Annalise needs to learn, NO is a complete sentence.
Other chateaux friends are arriving for the weekend, Gerry arrives Sunday.
Does this mean Chateau DIY will be filming???

Absolutely love doing her hair, always such a beautiful result#chateaudelalande #ruralfrance #orotherapy #ghd @stephanieejarvis @chateaudelalande
I'm sorry, @Jules100, can I be an avid fan of your work and a party pooper at the same time? I'm kind of fond of my current (and never changing) avatar...
My 90 year old mom has a pair just like that which she wears at assisted living often!!!
You go Girl!!! Oops!! Forgot he us a 26? Year old guy?
Oh god he sounds boring..
Love to hear your menu suggestions. Key lime pie loses its charm pretty quickly after your lips start to turn into ceviche. Pastry crust or graham cracker?
Guava pastries
Just guessing here but I would imagine that for YT revenue and continued patreon support for both SJ/Rural Life in France channels, they have devised a strategy between themselves in attempting to keep everybody appear "happy" or, at the very least, not make their viewers feel uncomfortable watching their vlogs.
Annalise needs to make money where she can in connection with her hairdressing skills. Pavlina got her's done too - 2 birds with on stone! And afterwards, Annalise had a few cocktails and then she and the boys got a plate of tuna pasta and a bowl of ice cream - what more could anyone desire?
Dan and Annalise have kept their break up really civil on the surface to date, BUT, who really knows what goes on behind closed doors - not me!
However, I was especially pleased that Annalise mentioned that Jack (I think) got a glowing report regarding him 100% speaking French at school - great achievement for such a young lad imho. He will be teaching his mum and dad to do the same before much longer.

Because he is. I have never met a man before with less charisma . Even for a nerd he is beyond the most downplayed meaning of the word boring. I think what binds Larkin to Jarvis is that in a way he has never grown up to be a responsible adult either. He tries to act like one, sometimes, but he always fails. He's a child, a lonely and scared child who hides himself in board- and computergames.
