Sad news
Stephanie said she wants to restore a beautiful 16 th century chateau, on the other hand...
She doesn't seem to do pets. She's never talked about any from her past (where she seems to live at any opportunity as though it were magical). Only reason the chickens are there is for eggs and the peacocks were likely inherited originally. We know the sheep weren't her idea and she doesn't give a rats bum about their welfare... and Ruby is there by default also...
If PhiPhi did get a dog it would likely terrorize and kill the birds, he's too engrossed in his preening to put the work into a well trained dog.
I also feel that the wire that was “accidentally” found was staged. How very random and yet exact for the plasterer to have hit the perfect (quite out of the way) spot with a hammer and then actually notice the wire and feel it was important enough to alert Amaury.I'd say don't count out Sweet Baby J...
Speaking of electrical faults, I wonder if that was staged, because we have been talking about the faulty wirering, that Stephanie Jarvis never seems to have fixed - the faulty wirering that cause the fire....
Also, the walls inside the turret and I’m sure most other walls in the chateau, really looked crappy. If you aren’t going to have it replastered to make it perfectly smooth for 17 years, a simple coat of paint would have made it look clean and make the grunge kind of disappear. Having said that, the wrong color and a bad paint job also look crappy… I don’t know if there is a properly painted room or hallway at Lalande. Seems like no one ever cuts in at the ceiling or baseboards and it always needs another coat.
Had wondered if we were now a laundry advise group!
And what about having his hair dyed ginger?
See now, if you still had them we could have watched Fanny gloat over them, and wear them to feed the chickens...I have never been a fan of viscose either. Love silk!
Although my personal preference is a little viscose where linen garments are concerned as otherwise, pure linen looks like crumpled rags within minutes. Made that pure linen mistake far too often in the past and always ended up eventually donating really expensive pieces.
I have always thought exactly the same for years. As in, the original French owners are just so absolutely over the moon to be able to off load these money pits wreaks to pretentious Brits/Americans/Canadians with ideas of OTT grandeur well above their status and ability to afford the renos. That is exactly why they all ultimately succomb to Patreon. So very stupid to think otherwise and then just appear such a joke to expect others to fund their unrealistic dreams.
You are so incredibly naughty in your thinking @Imperious Me.
Thankfully, I am so v.v. far away from the HMN or their local Emmaus so whichever new owner, may, or may not, think that they have bagged a bargain. Defo, not in my book, as far too much hard work to even iron let alone ultimately look in any way presentable beyond a few minutes.
Although, j'adore the linen look on tall, lean men in the sunshine - somehow they can always get away with it.

I wonder if the didn't actually use a different colour for the second coat, the colour now looks completely different
Well she can not go away and leave Snorts. He is not old enough to be left unattended. You know it is very hard to find a baby sitter for difficult children.
Actually I think it may have been @JackSpratt who originally used that phrase here, "village bike" and as she is an English ex-pat long living in France, that is a well known saying in England, AKA, a woman of very low morals and is up for anybody who cares to ride her particular bike - yuck!
I do not know BUT wet paint often looks different colour when dry, number of coats and also sunlight v electric light.
And it's got worse since Snorts arrived, he's clearly driving it.
I mean, lovely stephanologists
Let the Dutch boy paint his finger nails, toe nails, his fury friends nails (stuffed ones, hopefully never been alive) with this lovely peachy color he adores so much... And safe the money of e. G. A chandelier for some electrician works at the building...
The singers sister could have bought the lamp (instead of this... What is it in cheaply painted gold with so much going on even a clock... Thing...)
All happy, life, love and laughter...

OK seeing as we're on the subject @Albee, I have a short kimono in the blue & white willow pattern. Looks great with a white vest and jeans. I hand washed mine, put it on a hanger and hung it in the shower. Got it in the sale mind as I think the range are all a bit over-priced.
They sell them in Kew Gardens too. The very flowerey ones obviously

It just demonstrates how SJ’s design sense is terrible….scatterbrained. First, as many here have pointed out, La Lande is a farmhouse. SJ is trying to make it something more “grand,” but it doesn’t work because what she’s doing doesn’t “fit.” Also, the farmhouse is old…it’s not perfect. Even the building’s floorplan and layout is a little wonky and quirky. Beauty can be found in “ruins” and imperfection; many designers choose to highlight, embrace, and incorporate those imperfections into their design. SJ’s approach is somewhat schizophrenic*, though. It appears she wants to renovate rooms to make them “new,” but the renovations are done “half assed.” The end result looks like lipstick on a pig. You should either embrace the ruins and imperfections “as is”…make sure the building is structurally sound and water tight (stop any further damage), but keep the chipped walls, the weathering, the worn down tiles, etc. to really highlight the history of the place. OR…completely renovate to make it brand new. Instead, SJ puts a fresh coat of paint on crumbling plaster, or wallpaper on moldy walls…the result looks like a mess. And the new work is poorly done. The charm is removed. It’s so sad to see.
*No disrespect to anyone with schizophrenia or have a loved one with schizophrenia

I don't think it was me (one of my Mum's favourite sayings) and I wouldn't have been that politeActually I think it may have been @JackSpratt who originally used that phrase here, "village bike" and as she is an English ex-pat long living in France, that is a well known saying in England, AKA, a woman of very low morals and is up for anybody who cares to ride her particular bike - yuck!
I still use the phrase Bob's your Uncle, Fanny's your Aunt. Another one, Red Hat no Drawers.
I can’t remember who asked but here is a note from the Fleuries regarding last nights missing vlog

I thought right from the word go Sadie should have gone with the Dorchester Pink as a shade lighter, which is maybe what she has now decided to do. Who really knows, and more to the point, who ultimately really cares?
