Can't agree more. She has the money for what she wants. Each year Gerry's Xmas present is a holiday with a cruise. This year the plan was India in March. In February the plan is/was (?) Venice and in January it was Ireland her homeland

They mentioned in a previous vlog the car belongs to their friends. Their other vehicles are old and more in line with a scrap heap challenge.
Also in Europe there are laws about the ages of the car you drive . I’m not 100% sure it’s French law too but certainly in Germany cars have to be ten years or younger
 
Everything still there. Have a look

If Chateau now only open to patreons why can I book rooms on their internet site with euro price. But more curiously ..buy gift vouchers in sterling.... Tax inspector have you any insight.
None at all, I'm afraid. I can only assume there's been some sort of cock-up on the film set...

How did Saint Brenda of Donegal arrive at the Shit-oo?
SJ only opening the B&B to her most devoted followers patreons, yet they have to rent a car, as the shit-oo is in the middle of nowhere with no public transport what so ever. You'd have to be dedicated to endure such a shitty pilgrimage...

But most people are clued up enough to have more than one account. Their real account for family and friends and their “alternative” account if they want to check things out but don’t want folk know who’s looked for many reasons. I have minimum two of everything and in some cases more than that!!!

I believe they said they had borrowed the car from friend.
Must be a great find considering they have been driving it for months and comments were made here about it
Isn’t it funny that items are super cheap and expensive cars are borrowed.... By the way is the car a left or right hand drive?

Have you ever been to France ? I drive there in a 70 year old car!
Germany also plenty of older vehicles.

There are laws though about being a resident and driving a vehicle with UK plates.

She is possibly known by the locals as "la dingue" the (crazy one), "la miss".
The youngest ones may call her "la cagole".
At the beginning this word was only used in South of France but is now used all over the country.
Here is une cagole:
You don't need to understand French, enjoy

Busy at work and getting caught up.

Dearest Brenda, step into the light all are welcome.

I cringed when Selmar entered confined space without any safety equipment including tether. But, all hood in the end and Mummy gets antique composted aristocratic poo for the garden.

Thank you very much @Iolander but I can't find the links @DamoiseauC posted anymore. On 27-01-2021 (thread 13 #184):
"They are all on YouTube, just not listed. You have to have the link to see it."
and #188:
" I could post a list of all of them if people would be interested. "
But the list has disappeared.
Sorry for my persistence but I'm trying to understand why I can't find it.

une cagole is a vulgar woman (man = cacou) of the South of France (notably mediterranean sea sides cf Béziers), not refined, who does not behave.
Attributes = blonde-haired ( mainly all black hair in South / blonde = magnetic !!), outrageous make-up, gold rings, no slight trait of "élégance" or harmony , noticeable+ poorly-fitted garish outfits, searching distinction contrasting with her behaviour, talking loudly ~airhead

can translate later if you wish

You give up too easily
The answer lies even in your own message you just posted
(copy&paste the list to Word from my message to keep the links just in case)

Yes, but SJ soon put a stop to his suggestion to chip off the cracked render from the outside walls. I found it interesting how she did it though, promising him that as soon as the contractors were booked he would get his wish. She then offered to shake on it. Very odd!
