She must have given that control to him though... She would have said it's 'we', or she would pick him up on it, even privately, and he wouldn't do it any more. But he continues more blatantly, "we have art of Stephanies' father in every room", F off Buddy.
Setting him up. She's totally in control. Always has been, always will be. Letting him think he's the king of the castle & she's the victim of coercive control. Yeah right Fanny. So when you kick him into touch then everyone will say, oh yes, he did seem a bit over bearing, I mean who did he think he was, he'd have been nothing without her..blah blah.
She's as hard as nails her.

FFS! Can't this 30 year old find a place to stay on her own? She is the biggest, boldest mooch I have ever come across. She has absolutely zero dignity or self-pride. Anyone want to put bets on that she won't finish the program? Or if she does, she won't do anything with it? Who knows, she may not even attend it at all! Any fool who is giving her money is a complete moron.
Sadly I don't think she will cope with the yatching life.Very intense.Anyone watched below decks?

It’s Open Day at the gay sha-oh today. Teary has raked the dirt, Ashtray has done who knows what and mom has piled the rocks. Patrons will be wowed by the progress… I mean shopping Teary has done

How does that come up? Does Snorts witch and moan about her friends at the dinner table for everyone to hear?

It's a shame that he has to be attached to her side 24-7 since Steph and Michael had great on-screen chemistry.
At a dinner party I attended, not too long ago, Snorts expressed feeling sorry for MPK because of his drugs related issues, saying substance abuse is such a sign of these times. I wanted to call him out on it by saying something like "You are one to talk" but got beaten to the track by his 'girlfriend' who said exactly that. To which he replied 'Sorry, daaaaahling'.

And ridiculously expensive! I’ve told my husband to remind me that I have never enjoyed it whenever I toy with the idea when looking at a menu. 🤣 🦞
My husband and I really love lobster. He spent some time in Maine and learned from the locals how to best prepare it. We always get four for New Years and cook them ourselves. We just dip them in garlic butter. It’s best to get small ones, just under two pounds. The bigger they are the more tough they are. I prefer a very nice champagne with it, Moët or Veuve Cliquot. This is my kind of diy. You save tons of money that way! Since we’re all covered in lobster juice and butter I just have some grilled asparagus you can eat with your fingers along with it. We have charcuterie beforehand so you’re pretty much full to bursting at the end.

Thinking about these photos Fanny must either be scrabbling around for money or there is something not right here.
1 Weren’t Argentinian bully and AnneMarie using these rooms as theres?
2 Who rents out to members of the public rooms that are not finished?
3 Who would leave the unfixed panelling and cut out railings lying around when guests are paying and staying in there?
Odd.
It’s definitely a sign that something is way off.

I think it just shows they are lazy and lack attention to detail and ultimately now don't care about the B and B which is a sideline

Another thing that looks kind of hicky to me, the mouldings. If and I repeat if, Amaury made these, (and we see how effin slow he is at everything), then these mouldings would have cost thousands to make. I think these have been bought as stock pieces from a specialist moulding firm. When you make these kind of profiles, you have to wrap multiple pieces in clingfilm to stop them bending(because of the heat generated by the machine cutters). But look at them, they are as straight as a die. Its another bluff folks.
P.S. Fanny must be the only person who orders wallpaper and colouring pencils at the same time.
She had a video showing him making them with an elaborate form he constructs to keep them all straight.

She's been pea green with envy about the Fleuries all the way along. Their vlog showing showing their original 18th century panelling & talking about dry rot & the survey & measures they took to ensure the place was sound probably p@ssed her right off. Phillip says this about their carpenter the lovely Benoit 👇 and he sure as hell doesn't take a year to do a job. So what the Fleuries have, Fanny has to have. That'll teach them to show off that their carpenter can do mouldings &make tools 'n stuff. I've got one of those too..Jealous, peevish Fanny always trying to outdo the rivals.

I have a serious question, if someone can answer.
Is there some reason I've missed that Stephanie is averse to showing her toes? I've noticed that now, in the heat of summer when everyone is wearing sandals, she's clopping around in high heeled pumps! I'd say it was almost matronly, except the heel height isn't matronly, just sort of trashy looking. Even here, she has on socks. A lot of times, she's wearing flats or mules, many of them velvet, when she could be wearing flip flops or something (she's around the house filming outside or something when I've seen her wear these - and always expensive, designer ones) but never, ever with her toes showing.

There are so many great dress sandals with heels these days. I've only retired since the pandemic, but when I was working, they were a must in the summer months. It's just a more modern way of dressing, in my opinion. Even at Easter, she had on a lovely dress, but then wore those outdated pumps with it. I just find it strange and very odd (much like the chatelaine herself!). She must feel that something is wrong with her feet. I just don't get it.

(p.s. I promise, I do not have a foot fetish - I just wouldn't be caught dead in pumps if I didn't have to wear them!)

Its crazy to watch these poor souls looking for love. I have been single for over 20 years and have no need for a partner. I do what I want when I want to. I have lots of friends, love to be alone with my dogs, a good book and silence.... Relationships are to much work, effort and compromise.. Happy to be on my own, sadly people go looking for love in all the wrong places. It is sad to watch their desperation
I sense I am very much like you @LittleMore Cottage. I have always been totally self sufficient and "unbeknown" to me, primarily on my own, even when I was in a relationship. There are always givers and takers in this world, unfortunately, I was always the giver until I knew better! Maybe I was never a good husband/partner picker, who knows?
I am far happier by myself these days, doing whatever I want, whenever I want to in my "new'ist" smaller home.
I absolutely love owning my individual space and timetable! :love:

Merci, you're very kind.
I meant to post on your channel that I watched some of the videos you recommended by Michael Lambert. Very interesting and informative and, as an American, helped me understand a bit of British politics!

So tonight the Fleuries are eeking out another kitchen flog-the floor this time wasn't that laid months ago?

Exactly. Yes he may have done a good job but by god he'd be unemployable by anyone else if he took that long to complete it. In the UK jobs are done on either a day rate or a priced job rate. So whichever one he was on for this particular job he'd have priced himself out of the market. As usual with these Jarvis kids they've been given a business by their parents & have no idea of what it would be like in the real world to run it.
Mummy & Daddy bailing them out all the time & so they're entitled brats because they know there is plenty of money sloshing around to put roofs over their heads, buy cars, give them properties & businesses & therefore no real need to get gainful employment.
Painfully slow ,accurate and precise maybe but he'd be no good working on renovation jobs alongside other trades Christ my other half doesn't know if he's coming or going somedays. Even if he'd use to working on bespoke pieces, would a client be prepared to wait for months

I’ve looked at the first course, it’s just basically lectures on safety and I would say unless you don’t turn up then you will pass.
I took my competent Crew course through the Army and on the very first day we were told that we had to prove ourselves before passing unlike commercial schools who passed almost everyone because it was their business so had to have high pass rates to entice customers.
I also read in the Antibe blurb that students had to hand in their logs so show that they had completed at least a month at sea.
My son's very close friend from college/uni has been a Captain of many private yachts in the Caribbean and Europe over the past 10 years. When I asked my son about maybe his friend getting him into that arena a few years ago - my son was 30 at that time! His friend said that, in all honesty, it's an very early 20's starting block scenario as everybody has to start at the absolute lowest rung of the ladder and it is extremely hard work, mentally and physically specifically because of the close quarters scenario, let alone anything else!
Unfortunately, I imagine that FRK won't find it in any way easy at her age even with the necessary, expensive training/certification.

Fanny's foot whilst paddling in Rhodes. At about 6'40" in. Think her feet are no more nasty than most women of her age who

No one could afford him it has taken a year to do that panelling so what would that cost for a carpenter of his skill?

She could be a hostess, but these yachts employ Michelin start chefs or at least people who have run a professional kitchen who can really cook.
