The Chateau Diaries #179 The Patreons came 2x2 and were herded to the pens

I really hope @Isabelle6541 is not Fanny…

i don’t think Fanny would write thisabout herself in a million years…
“She is so conniving but we know that already.”

Why wouldn’t she? If I was Fanny trying to convince I was someone else, I would definitely talk tit about myself.

Looking at the 1000 plus comments on the breakup video I did see a plethora of comments by someone who is a super fan of Lielande. Heathcliff’s infamous fish woman.

Breakup video, what did I miss.

You can't spit without hitting a Nicolas. Why waste the gas driving so far for wine?

Because the wine was for free, because he probably brought some antiques back, too. And because they do such nonsens all the time, so nothing new

A little diversion for everyone who feels a bit deflated and/or rattled, for whatever reason...!
And no snark....I find it refreshing to see how people still have dreams, of fairy tale worlds, pumpkins, and carriages, and go on an awfully big adventure (a nod here to Beryl Bainbridge, or in a more poignant reference to Peter Pan) and are looking for a new life!

I have been back reading the elusive Isabelle6541's posts. Someone mentioned that Isabelle was really curious to discover Clara's identity. Isabelle was more than just a little curious.

This post below doesn't really make any sense. If Isabelle started badgering SJ, she would be escorted off the premises. Well, perhaps she is in the pokey???

Isabelle's reply:

I can’t wait to try to figure out who you are while you try to figure out who I am. Great fun. I will be easy because I will have a camera in her face asking questions.

Isabelle is surely Phillipa

Do you think the King was assuming someone would come along and replace the lid for him? It says a lot about the Prince of Wales that he had to take charge in this situation and clean up after his papa's mess. Camilla rested her wrist on the inkwell - is she counting on the Prince to prop her up too? There's so much happening in this scene. It will be discussed for decades. lol. Regarding the scowl, I have rarely seen the Prince make that particular face where he furrows his brow. Not sure it's somber, but I hope he's ok. It's a rough time for him, for sure.


My heart breaks for him. He loved his Grandmother so much. I've just never seen him furrow his brow like that.

That brow furrow is the grief brow - unique and hard to replicate, even narcs can't do it easily.

Sorry - who is Heathcliffe's infamous fish woman?

I know I’m disappointed that there weren’t any big kaboom moments during Stephanie’s Patron Days. At least it seemed like it was kind of crappy, just as expected. Although, I would have been impressed if Stephanie had gone all out and given her patrons a really special couple days, but she didn’t. So here we are, let’s keep on doing what we do here. We know what’s really going on at the Chateau de Lalande and everyday more and more people are realizing it too. Let’s get back to being the snarky witches that we are and never give up the search for truth, transparency and the mo-foing missing accounts.

Well said

 

[MsMuir]

I would love to see her try as that would draw a lot of her dark dealings into the light too.


Oh, there's evidence alright. She just has to look closer.

Thanks for responding. Those underlying dark dealings surrounding Stephanie and her gang are the exact reason people should feel safe to keep on questioning and digging for truth. She's got too much to hide & protect.
There's also nothing wrong in having a healthy dose of skepticism, even if it's directed at Clara.

Off the topic of the royals, a small story to share...
This going back quite a number of years. A friend from home in Australia, whose family keeps a world renowned horse stud, wanted to travel and in England secured a place at a stately home there. The aristocratic family she worked for, treated her exceptionally well and made her part of their family. Everything went well, her work as a trainer, strapper and general horse related factotum held her in high regard with the family who treated her beautifully. They were truly kind, generous and warm towards her... until Prince Charles came to stay for several weeks. There was an immediate change in attitude with Charles questioning why on Earth the family should have included a "servant" and an Australian one at that in their families lives. Didn't they know better? When first introduced, the Aussie was told by Charles that 'Oh no, one did not include a person from the colonies in family routines. Those ex-convicts were to learn their place and it wasn't in the great hall, but in the stables where she, as an Australian (oh horror of horrors one of Irish extraction) belonged in her proper place mucking out horse tit.' Were he joking, it was not apparent but deeply hurtful. The family followed suit, sycophanticly agreeing with the PoW and her time at this stately manor came to an abrupt end when she could no longer endure his insults. She'd kept her mouth shut but packed and left, and leaving no word, returned to Oz. Since that time her families horse stud has refused every request from the crown to supply horses to their stables. The Queen was told why this was happening and allegedly tore bloody strips off her princeling son for loosing her 100s of 1000s of £ in business. The crown was ghosted. The Aussie horse trainers and stud farmers turned their attentions to the princely Arabian peninsula states and went on to gain enormous respect and wealth for their involvement in developing richly viable stud farms there; and cheers to them for essentially giving Charles the finger for the way their daughter was treated.

Good enough for me , duck him

To me this sounds very much like Stephanie Jarvis has found yet more narc supply to come work for her for free. This person is ticking all the wrong boxes and is going straight towards destruction if he is to stay at her shittoo for a couple of weeks. That's what they all say and then they stay for much longer, standing by as they see their dreams fade.

There's also nothing wrong in having a healthy dose of skepticism, even if it's directed at Clara.

Which were my words exactly: everyone should keep their critical heads on, no matter what.

Better off if the carriage does turn into a pumpkin than land in that cesspool

As the saying goes it will all come out in the wash. This may take sometime as we know Fanny doesn't like washing anything especially that Emmaus nightie, but she does enjoy rinsing people for cash

I’m not sure if anyone wants to hear any more comments about what is happening but I saw something in a video I watched… of the walkabout with William and Catherine and Harry and Meghan. At one point in the video, someone from behind approaches Meghan to take the flowers and she looks as though she is going to rip his head off until she realizes a camera is facing her. In another moment, Catherine gracefully allows the flowers to be taken. What a difference. So telling. I have not read recent pages so I’m not sure if anyone is still posting on this subject. Meghan reminds me of SJ at this moment. One face for the public and another in private….but falters just the same.

I saw that and replayed it several times, and I’m sure you’re correct

It really is shocking while living in a home in the French countryside how little they utilize the French countryside to entertain.

It absolutely is. I have a list of places to visit with our guests. Some are extremely busy and popular, like Carcassonne (which everyone wants to see), and others are off the beaten track but equally interesting and fun. I have itineraries of walks from my house (10km max. I'm on one of the Compostelle routes) and also car routes which take you away from the popular tourist destinations. Lists of the best markets to visit on which days. It's really not difficult to find and arrange these things. It is criminal that she doesn't capitalise on what is around her for free. And speaking of free - throughout the entirety of the summer every French commune, big or small, has a fête which can last for up to a week with something happening every day - local produce markets, vide greniers, accompanied village walks, live music in the evening. All these entertainments are free and fun. She holes up with her sad-arsed friends and pretends that life is so full and such fun. Desperately sad.

I’d love someone to repost this or direct where I can see it. At risk of detailing the thread I’m an ardent royalist (each to their own) and ‘Harry’s Wife’ has of course, like Fanny, been called a Narcissist. Can I remind those who may think MM has had a hard time, this is a young woman who, not least because of her mixed race, was welcomed warmly by the British (this is not to say, just like Princess Diana and Catherine DofC before her, did not receive some bad press) . She was in a position to give so much - and sadly that was all pushed aside directly by her own short-sighted reactions. As many, I was an admirer of her but have been bitterly disappointed by her behaviour towards the Crown. I think she did not understand the monarch and thought she could change 1000 year history overnight. Something I believe which has not been mentioned, she was given the honour of a full wedding service at St George’s Chapel. Not a merely blessing which under ecumenical rules in the Church of England, is for anyone previously married. Something denied even to then Prince of Wales and Camilla - as Camilla was a divorcee, like Meghan.

I believe now she has been hoisted upon her own petard.

We grieve now for Her Majesty, but trust me, those supporters of the Monarchy have been grieving for the last several years. As did Her Majesty The Queen.

Even sideways up the middle would have been better... all a tad cack-handed..

Actually, a larger desk would have been the best idea all round. It's not like they didn't have the room. It was the royal version of pubes lady desk. It was a bit Fred Karno's army.

Have you noticed that Edd and Anna have gone from calling it their PASSION PROJECT to the ABANDONED MANSION? Now whatever could the reason for that be?

Mr. Mansplain cries poor and says they can’t afford to keep the mansion whilst he is wearing his $300 Peanuts green hoodie by Lacoste. I wonder if VantheMan could get impoverished Mrs. Mansplain some free Turkish teeth?

Have you noticed that Edd and Anna have gone from calling it their PASSION PROJECT to the ABANDONED MANSION? Now whatever could the reason for that be?

I thought an old lady was living in it and sold it to them?

What the duck is up with Stephanie and this weird fetish for fairground wallpaper? First it was the Entrance Hall, the downstairs loo, the Marquis's sitting room and now this loo. It's dreadful yet again. Christie's Tastemaker my arse. I think it's safe to say she certainly bought that moniker. Seriously, Stephanie, please hire an interior decorator - Oliver and Camilla are using their sister, I'm sure they could get you "a discount" for their old chum.

“Taste” includes “bad taste”.
