Followed by a nice break because they did so much work and deserve it…From what I understood in Sunday's vlog - no Patreon vlog tonight, update tomorrow for the world and it's wife! Why even be a patron?
Defo an upcoming montage situation and of course, SJ/PJ will need to spend hours editing beforehand so they will excuse themselves early from Thursday's Garden Party celebrations - that's if there is even "in reality" a Thursday celebration - who really knows!
TBH, they could edit on a daily basis if they were focused and professional enough.

Oh ok I always think it's me if it involves talking too much because I am super chatty and over enthusiastic. You will have some peace from me for a few hours at least I am heading out. Have fun and remember if this forum was all about just info and photos we would have missed out on oatmeal and pineapples too ha ha and the threads may be quite slowNot aimed at you. I know we're not allowed to police what people post. I scroll on if I don't agree (well most of the time I'm not an). I try to post when I think I've found an interesting bit of info/photo etc & try to stop myself from commenting on everything as think it slows the thread. I have used the ignore option twice - one for someone I found offensive & the other who just basically was parroting what had already gone before & it irked me. Sometimes I guess I prefer quality over quantity.
And it was 100% not aimed at you.
OMG that has started me off again! Just fancy, just fancy having the gall to put those ladies back there against the wood pile and tit. They have dressed themselves ready for a summer garden party and instead have been shunted into the bloody garage!The flower/weed/flora-from-the-underworld arrangements are a big FU to all her patrons. Surely, she had the means to do better,
and yet she went with this

I have set up numerous events and regarding who is there at the party (the cost of travel, money put towards the tit show, etc.). This is subpar.I've worked at and set up all sorts of events. I've been at work events where colleagues have been given better food than this. This set up is suitable for a family party. Not a event where people have paid for her to travel the globe & spend thousands of pounds on wallpaper alone.
The standards of what constitutes catering at the farmhouse is so low that anything other than a pasta and/or sprout salad is viewed as suitable for a high paying patron? I'm sure the poor deluded fools who are daft enough to go there will big it up as the greatest experience of their life to dine in a garage with a Z list TV 'star'.
It's an attempt to show those stupid patrons that she is being frugal as always (yeah right) & how busy busy they are. No champers for you lot, see how we've not wasted money on hiring in chairs, yes all the produce is from the garden, wine from a friend of ours at a bargain rate...ooh we've barely had time to clear out the garage we've been so busy with all the renovation...all flim flam.
What about the air flow? Crowded together like that - the air would become stagnate and the body odor, etc. The main room has those 2 very nice doors they spent a lot of money on, the people would have views to both sides of the grounds. At one time, they showed us they had an automatic iron that presses the linens.
But now we will get to see another vlog about how they cleaned out/decluttered another area of the chateau.
Part of me is pleasantly surprised it looked decent but as others have stated, more should have been done.
Maybe, just maybe ... the original intent was to have an al fresco lunch but Fanny had the Jaguar garage cleaned out for dining due to the threat of rain?
By the way, has anyone noticed Mummy pronounces it "jag-war" while Fanny says "jag-u-ar"?

On the other hand, it just might be a blessing in disguise to have this sorry sandwich party of a patron gathering, for when the kool aid wears off a bit some of them might start to understand that she is after their contributions and nothing more. Having this first hand experience up close might prompt a patron exodus 
And she literally has thousands of linen napkins.....we have seen them Fanny!! They just wanted to clear everything away into black bin bags
May I ask what code of conduct you refer to? If I intend to ask questions as I am entitled to at a shareholders meeting, and the association chair intends to have me escorted from the premises if I, say, ask for accounts, I have every right to advice of counsel and to bring said counsel with me.
It's a heavy, stainless steel door stop available in many shops.
The "condoms' are 'échantillons' (free samples ) of cosmetics/face creams/perfumes.
I don't think that's dirt/grime on the very old stone floor. Looks like chipped stone to me.

Ugh! those chairs! Where in the world did they get them? They look like something from a third world classroom.Thank you @Le Baiseur, it is not an easy task to start a new thread.
I have done it once.

Thank you! The necklace was a gift from my parents about 20 years ago. I bought the dress second hand in ‘Pandoras’ in Knightsbridge. It’s by Erdem

Now, about the patron's garage luncheon.... an oil tank, the Lalande door and window salvage, stacked fire wood, not to be out done by school room seating, it is a shameful display. No one looks happy.

That is someone's weed canister.
Wow that paper is hung like
The wires, that's not funny... That's a recipe for disaster...
Ugh those filthy doors just make me want to vomit. Why doesn't someone scrub them? Paint them? Switch them for some of the doors leaning on the walls in the new "outdoor dining area"? Unless of course the crud is barnyard chic...
I'm sure even he had been, he would have a million excuses not to attend. How many of those guests even speak French? She doesn't really contribute to the local community anyway. She's not part of it, other than owning a physical structure in the vicinity. I'm sure the locals are relieved that she doesn't actually live in town. Out of sight, out of mind.
Old doors or old dears
suggestion " Patreon Days - Old doors and old dears" * Sorry - just noticed that @ C'est moi had exactly the same idea.
Well Mummy and Daddy waltzed away with enough money to buy multiple luxury properties in multiple countries so I think that's an indication!
She had the entrance hall which she uses as a dining room to use. It would have accommodated those patreons easily. It wasn't raining though, so al fresco with umbrellas would have been much more ambient.
How many guests at a table divided by one bottle of wine? Here you go, my dear, sip slowly as this is all you get.Chateau La Gorce wine is not the cheapest, e.g. 17/18E per bottle. There is no way that SJ was serving that at the party. Could have been a refill job!
If they did not uncork the bottles at the table, which I'm sure they didn't, they could have watered it down or done the old switch a roo. Even posh places have been guilty of such practices. That's one of the reasons to inspect the cork when buying a bottle in a restaurant if suspect any shenanigans, it's not easy to fake a cork if you know what you're looking for.Come over to the dark side Maria K. We will welcome you with open arms
But to buy them, they'd be marketed as Vintage French and cost upwards of €100 each. Err... probably.
Ugly and uncomfortable, I'm just impressed they matched.

Patron, Maria K does not look happy and she has been there since last week.
From 9/1/22 live chat...
Maria K I’m excited to be arriving at Lalande tomorrow!!@The chateau diaries
The Chateau Diaries @Maria K That’s fantastic! We’re so happy to see you again
She has visited before and had the opportunity to meet Philip Janssen's parents.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall.
7/5/21 live chat...
Maria K @Cara Winsor Hehir Just Aug. 5-9th (I probably won’t want to leave)
9/13/21 live chat...
Maria K @Philip Janssen I thoroughly enjoyed meeting your parents and visiting with your beautiful Mother! when I was at Lalande
Well. I think a big thank you to Chloe for supplying such damning evidence of the tit, unfinished jobs at the tit'o
Picture 1. Yes, it is a doorstop. A big clunky stainless steel and rubber band doorstop. Available at most Brico shops in France.
Picture 2 & 3. Do indeed look like hospitality fresh wipes. No doubt picked up by fanny at her many hotel visits. We all know she's a cheap date and wouldn't fork out for some nice ones. I'm convinced there is no water supply to that sink.
Picture 6. Are you sure that's not a sex toy from the Duck Store? A popular shop in France... (Don't think it's officially listed as that. There's one in Beziers and one in Montpellier. Pretty sure there are more.)
Picture 6, 7 and 8. If he wasn't dead I would've believed that my father-in-law painted those skirting boards. He always managed the undercoat but forgot about the top coat. Just can't be arsed slovenly.
Picture 7. Probably muguet (lily of the valley) air freshener. Very popular in public toilets which is probably where it was nicked from.
Picture 9. Nothing more to add @Jules100
Picture 10. I'm gagging. They prepare meals for paying guests in this space. They must have cockroaches, mice (probably rats) ants etc. Bref, that kitchen must literally be crawling.
