Yes, I would like to see more preservation/improvements than decoration but, who knows, if the money keeps coming in after the lake is restored, even that may become achievable.
Serious question: What makes the lake more important than other parts of the shat-oh?

A hundred thousand euros (from other people's hard work) to restore a lake can go a long way to do more important restoration projects in the castle (that they do not own).

There’s a lot of Italian immigrants in Argentina
I know that. There are tonnes of Jews there too! But is she Italian by citizenship (i.e. European)?

Her mother (Stephanie's grandmother) was French (her first name is very French) and married her Italian-born husband.
She spoke to her children in french with her South West (Béziers) accent. And the family lived in the French colonies anyway where the language was French.
That explains

Just been watching latest Petheriks' vlog. Billy at the Broccante eyeing up the most hideous cabinet. "I think that's bootiful' - No Billy it's not it's ghastly. Step away from the cabinet Billy

Nati has an Italian passport. So yes, she's an Italian citizen.

She probably spent some of it on her trips abroad. Being a hard-working person, she probably felt the need to take a break...

One of my biggest “gripes” with TCD was the lack of French content or French talking.
They're trying to put this right on the film set in England, but Covid's making it difficult to add French people to the cast and Scrounger
Jarvis is linguistically challenged.

That's ridiculous, moderators aren't bots that automatically remove posts - Please read our rules and why they're important
Two Cents - Brenda could be very well working on getting the thread shut down. Recommending the thread on her page opens the door to 1) new members coming on and breaking tattle rules on purpose to get the thread shut down OR 2) new members coming on and continually reporting posts until the thread gets shut down. I don't really know if it is even possible to get a thread shut down? But my suggestion (which everyone can take or leave) is to tighten up the ship and be careful what you post.

Not trying to moderate!! Just offering another opinion in regards to starting a DB fan club
 
One of my biggest “gripes” with TCD was the lack of French content or French talking. Being French myself I love it when content creators export our culture and introduce it to foreigners.
Maybe Stephanie Jarvis can do what her BFF "teabag trotter" did! Go to a local dairy farm in the Crozon-sur-Vauvre area, get some milk, talk to cows in French. Perhaps she can step it up a bit by making her own beurre. But that might be a little too serf-esque. She's a princess!

She didn't get the money, Nic did. Nic sold MP a percentage of his share in Lalande. I believe Nic and Marie are using the money to renovate the Gardener's Cottage.

Yes, I'm wondering whether 'Teabag Trotter' likes to serve tea or be served... given his success as a scrounger (he likes to receive rather than give) it is likely to be the latter... Is the tea served in the shato or the pauper's cottage (boat cabin)?

Your summaries are exceedingly good reads! Looking forward to the next one
