As the 1st Patreon Day dawns, I'm wondering how your group has worked out the logistics and have several questions:

As this is a 3 day event, one would assume you have members going on each day. Is this correct? Will those going on (for example) Tuesday Day 1 be in communication with those going on Day 2, and Day 3? No doubt you'll be meeting up after each day to compare notes and discuss further action? But what about those who are not even going to be in France until Day 3 to attend the event? Will they be informed of what's happened on days 1 and two? Things to watch out for? Pitfalls to avoid? Who might be approachable within the chateau for support? You've also said that several of you group are travelling with lawyers as their plus one, so I'm wondering too about the billable hours. How does that work, especially as presumably, some of you are travelling to France from the UK, Europe and further afield, possibly the USA/Canada and Australasia? Incredibly expensive yes? I've never known a lawyer, even one working pro bono, to be even remotely altruistic, so I'm sceptical. Are the non legal plus ones in your group aware of the situation? And will they be in a position to help if needed? Do you have a different spokesperson for each day? Are there reporters with your group? Are there those in your group who have joined up to be each other's plus ones on different days, thereby allowing one person to be there on two or more days? Are there any members in your group who have booked into Lalande for the following weekend to do any follow-up investigations? Have you contacted Selmar and Tatyana for their imput? Other volunteers who left? What's been the result? How soon will you be prepared, and willing if at all, to report back to Tattle? How much are you willing to share? Did you at any time consider asking Tattle members, or other ex-patrons to join your group? If not, why not? Once you have confronted Stephanie in her lair, what's your next move? What happens if you don't get the answers your looking for? Will you consider it a wasted exercise and throw in the towel? What do you plan to do with the information you're gathering?

Good hunting.

Charles and Camilla's behaviour would have been unbearable for a 19 year old girl, chosen for nothing more than to give Charles an Heir. Little wonder her Mental Health suffered. I do wonder if Harry rebelling against the family is in part because he has seen and heard more than us mere mortals regarding his Mother's treatment. Camilla had her chance to marry Charlie but decided to marry Andrew PB while Charlie was away serving in the Navy. Diana wasn't perfect, which one of us are, but she was Beautiful, inside and out.

Was the Patreon "trois jours de joie". Invitation extended to all.patrons by some sort of round robin e-mail or was the event only referred to in the Patreon exclusive extra content, behind-the-scenes patron love-in vlogs?

I suspect I know the answer!

Stephanie has done the bare minimum - if that - to fulfil the promise of a Patrons' summer garden party.

For fête champêtre read fait accompli - on the surface she made it look as if she's made an effort, scratch the veneer and it's all a ruse.

Rumor has it. Although her story is he came to the old folks home with his mother who worked there. What relationship to Derek is a mystery. But isn't it all " smoke and mirrors ????

Something stinks as Gerry is 15 years older than me me so why on earth would he be happy pushing her about in her pram? He made out he was11 or 12 when she was born. Mmm.
why was he in the car when me me first saw the nursing home?

Erdem is a brand often worn by Kate Middleton, it is femine and demure, necklines are predominantly high. Usually cost 1000 plus for day dresses with evening triple that. I just had a look online,couldn't find a dress with so much décolleté on show.

Can someone figure out how to make him disappear like the door?

Imagine arriving at the chateau for the holiday of a lifetime….being shown the Marquis sitting room and ‘enjoy your stay’. Later that evening the guests wonder why they do not have a bedroom as the door is sooo hidden that they end up sleeping on the couch

I'll try to be brief. To prove defamation (in the US courts) the plaintiff has to prove that the accused (the defendant) made inaccurate claims, and caused direct harm financially, physically, or psychologically. I don't see any of that happening. Much of what is posted here is based on the premise that she is grifting funds, and she would be hard-pressed to prove otherwise, and if she is suffering you wouldn't know it by what she is putting out to the public. Sorry, Brenda, but any case arguing defamation vs. free speech in this instance is a perditam causam.

I’m sorry to say many doctors make out those who have reactions are rare. It’s not necessarily the case. Many have nothing more than a prescription pad and some may benefit financially from prescribing so…. And those that take these drugs may be on them for years and have little or no help to come off. Akathsia is terrible and yes they affect the nervous system.

The waste of money and time on this whole thing is shocking. I hope Amaury feels ok about splitting credit for his bespoke and beautiful workmanship with an under educated, over indulged, “actor” who has ZER0 qualifications in this area. Philip needs to go back to school and learn the basics of scale, balance, and color if this is what he wants to do. That hunter green slab over the fireplace is just terrible. The wallpaper is terrible. Ugh! Stephanie gives Philip free artistic reign and shouldn’t. He has a bad eye for art.

I'm not current on reading these posts so something has probably been said, but I had to log on after suffering through the Marquis apartment reveal. When I was at the farm, I tried to converse with Fanny about Aubusson after spending a day there including a lot of time at the museums. She had nothing to say about it - crickets... now she wants her viewers to believe that she is honoring the rich tradition of tapestry in France by plastering paper images from an English manor on her very French walls. The residents of Aubusson would have mustard coming out of their noses (la moutarde me monte au nez) if they stumbled upon this wretched room. And do I need to point out that the "theme" of Venus and Adonis is a projection of Fanny's fantasy world? Watch out "Adonis fancy pants" - you don't want to do any hunting in that forest. Oh and if you're reading this "cuz", you are not "restoring" the chateau. You're decorating it. Your skills would be put to better use in a listed property. You are a genius, but I hope you're aware that you are being used to feed the ego of a malignant narcissist (which it could be argued is what the original master carpenters were doing in the 1700s.) The word FOLLY comes to mind - the folly of decorating a room when the walls are crumbling all around it just to satisfy the whimsy of a pampered child-woman. So sad. And that coving is WAY OVER THE TOP (pun intended) for that room. The whole thing is ridiculous. Such a waste of time, money, energy, and capital. It's Fanny holding the chateau on her fingertips as it tips askew on its foundations - Derek's painting more prescient than ever. And I want to thank this forum for being the place where I can admit to belly-aching laughter when phi phi arrived hovering a framed painting over the fireplace while all around him are actual hard-working people, sweating bullets to satisfy Venus. (I have to point out too that screwing on an outlet plate is not electrical work phi phi. Sorry. It's just not.) One year, one room...tens of thousands of dollars of other people's money. All the Gavin Luke music in the world being played over your ridiculous folly does not make this a worthy endeavor.
