The Chateau Diaries #18 Porky mitts and porky pies

[Milre]

This has probably already been answered, still catching up. But just in case: the lake is personal because the draining of the lake was her mistake which she wants to "make good" (reacting to what the water police said instead of waiting for official / written demands with regards to the management of the lake due to a new EU directive that had been passed). She says that she has never forgiven herself (I wouldn't have either). What probably happened is that she was alerted to costly changes to be made to the lake to bring it in line with new regulations. At the time, she did not look anything up, and did not know that because the lake is a historic landmark, she may have received a grant to help.

Well, back then the WiFi was even worse and she couldn't be bothered to drive to her special spot to Google "should I drain my lake?"

does anyone know what’s the deal with bread being sold bag less. Is it a French or European thing? Like I noticed the bread had some paper round it but was exposed and it then sat on the car seat when they were driving.

I thought they have bread delivered to the chateau? Baguette is best eaten fresh. If it gets bagged it looses the crisp crust because it collects moisture.

"Should I drain my lake" too damn funny!

After the last vlog addressing so many questions, I thought..."OK, finally! She saw some criticism, and us making some forward changes! " New vlog. NOPE. Back to garbage. 10 minutes grocery shopping. A peek into the Sh#tter, and then....another, damn, dinner. Another damn ugly place setting. Steph, if you are reading this...just make another channel for dinners! That way we can skip that whole thing! Clearly she is working on projects, and saving future projects for the TV series. And that now leaves us.....with dinners, and gift grabs. I'm really actually bummed out by that.

It's about time that Isabelle returns so at least we can have some gardening content.

Time for another quite colourful picture: lots of (blonde) women in there... He liked those 18 century dresses, can't blame SJ for her love of chateau when she was surrounded with pics like this

Hoping our mysterious Clara has another to drop in the near future

Tomasz always left me feeling uneasy, he tried to ingratiate himself too much. The whole mugging incident seemed suspicious, maybe I'm wrong.

Hi mummy...

You serious? She’s not a complete charity for waifs and strays. As an adult, Marie can’t keep coming home to Maman Stephanie when life gives her lemons.

Whatever one can say about SJ, she is undoubtedly more interesting on her worst day with a bag over her head than ‘Woe is me, Marie’ surrounded by a room of flowers

What.. And like Stephanie didn't keep doing that with her mummy at that age.. At least FRK didn't move in with her parents ¡

 

[oldandoverit]

Say what you want about her - but she knows how to work patreon. I follow 3 - the other 2 are off-grid homesteaders, wow, they could learn a thing or 20 from her.

Problem is, if they "learn" from her they will have to omit truths, outright lie, tug at heart strings, take advantage of socially awkward & lonely people & beg. Let's hope they don't learn

Hi mummy...

Ummm I'm not Mummy

I noticed the bread on the seat too, all I could think was, “mmmm, butt bread”.

How about new thread... Butt bread and tit holes.

Haha spot on I'd say!

Another thing SJ will be going to spend money on, as mentioned in last nights patreon vid, is Bridgerton inspired Regency (? - sorry not a native English speaker)
costumes for their Easter party. Which as we all know is essential to restore your HMN...

I get Selmar dressing like Saturday Night Fever. But why does Phillip dress like he's the funeral director?

Because he has buried any hope of having a showbiz career along with the loss of any integrity that his employer might have had. Thoughts and prayers..and flowers by Marie.

 

[Chit~chat Chateau girl]

She's catching on.. She's being sponsored..

 

[Pno]

Stephanee has just said the monthly patreon money has gone up to 25000 per month. Big increase since the 'come clean' vlog about finances apparently.

Guilting all of the 5 euro crowd to pony up or be left out of a once in a lifetime opportunity to come stay at the ShatO.

 

[Chit~chat Chateau girl]

Marie, if your here, some advice.. Edit your photos hun... See the difference! May help with your business...

And choose a better background than old corrugated iron sheet fencing?

 

[ggyahoo]

It says Suffolk on Marie's post. So is she back there?

 

[tuffiti]

Is it that warm there now though? She's wearing a skirt I reckon it's an old photo/post...

Well, put mildly, this one is hopelessly romantic. Can’t say I care much for that.
This wasn’t shown in the videos, was it?

 

[Chit~chat Chateau girl]

My point exactly!!! Terrible.

It says Suffolk on Marie's post. So is she back there?

Last year I think.. Old photo.. Old flowers. .

 

[JustCommonSense]

She's catching on.. She's being sponsored..

So when they showed the process of making these on the vlogs it was a cross-promotion! It should have been disclosed (was it in the info box? Probably is now that I am mentioning it)! I am appalled.
There are regulations for ‘influencers’. Probably hasn’t read them? But why am I surprised by someone who wasn’t able to look up the EU directive (regarding the lake) to determine whether it applied in her case.
