Dan was a chef on oil rigs in the middle of the sea, because of being away from home and potentially dangerous working conditions, I think it was probably well paid.
Maybe he's going to offer you a job! I mean you can knock out quality content pretty swiftly.
One thing is certain, he isn't afraid of hard work!
I suspect she films content weeks in advance and drip feeds it into the vlogs.
ETTCDIY for example, works on the same premise. Each weekly episode will feature a couple working on something and this can take three to four weeks to view the final result. It will keep the viewers hooked as they will tune in to see progress.
Given that Selmar shots are approx 2 mins long it could take years to see the finished result.
What a treat, to have our shittelaine herself reveal her amateurism and level of idiocy when it comes to the outdoors, and thus record the evidence for all of her patreons to see: they might as well dropped their money in that dirty rotten moat of hers to begin with. There’s no plan, no real vision when it comes to gardening, but she tries, right? And gets praise for it, even here, with us critical tattlers, because we love for her narrative to be moving to the garden, where there’s still hope that could turn into something we might like. But that’s what it all is, a narrative, and getting praise for even getting out of bed is what she’s used to. Her throwing in some seeds is a pathetic attempt to tell Dan he should work harder so she doesn’t have to come and interfere. Run, Dan, run. She is trained well by her mother. I know everybody believes IJ is a true gardener, knowing exactly what she’s doing, but again: all for show. Even with all the efforts put in by many (the hired gardeners, lots of volunteers and even my friends, who at the time knew nothing about gardening but now run a truly working veggie-garden) the garden still looks like a mess and not just in winter. IJ has been there for 16 years now, was much younger then, so if she knew what she was doing, there would have been a year-round-producing garden by now for sure. Their actions, if they do amount to anything, are always meant to lure in others to take over and do the work for them, only to start all over when those "volunteers" leave. That's the real reason there's been no real progress.
During one of my visits to the tit-show-shat-o I was appalled to see Percy walking around in shorts, his legs and arms covered in very bad ulcers (he has some kind of hemophilia), but yet working heavy maintenance. I asked IJ about it, saying that poor man should just enjoy his pension, and all she said was (imagine the accent) “I told him, but he insists on helping me.” Right. I hope they stay in SA, where he only has to help one of them and his own children can keep an eye on him.

I was upset when they advised that i ought to change my car's 17 year old tyres.
Also they still have to decide what to do with the holes in the floor and the cellar they discovered.Oh of course, I'd forgotten about the damp. This is going to take years
His head WOULD but probably not his eyes. (Russell-Silver syndrome?)Well he can't be doing any driving 'cos his head would barely come up to the steering wheel...
A Mercedes in frThere’s you go, so I doubt it was lent by a French friend.... they are all great at twisting the truth
Who's Guin ?
Being not a true gardener she will mess up with the seeds anyway. It is quite some work to make seeds grow. She will need to go every day to the greenhouse and look after them. She was not even able to water them properly. Even Phil asked if the seeds she was supposed to put 10cm deep in soil don't need soil beneath them?
And then when it comes to planting them in the garden....? I just don't see her doing it.
One day she will say that seeds just didn't grow. And order some grown plants from UK. Which she will then accidentally sent to London.
You have to be real passionate about gardening, otherwise it's not even worth the money. She spent so much on compost and will end with nothing. Instead she could buy flowers right away.
Amazing how much directorial & editorial control Tattlers have over her isn't it!! We say go outside more - so goes outside for a walk. We say stop laying in bed all day & get on with things - she gets in the garden & pretends to potter around. We say stop with all the expensive stuff - so she pretends to buy a wine box. Oh dear oh dear LOTLL you really aren't in control of your fiefdom are you. Tattlers are. Now I think perhaps you should learn how to clear the loft out, or ride a horse, or do yoga with Selmar, or learn how to use the carpet cleaner. Any other suggestions fellow Tattlers. I mean we are pulling the strings aren't we?We all should charge her a consultation fee
It was a more down to earth video, granted she’ll never be relatable, but she seems to be getting the message to try to tone down the excess lifestyle. It’s a smart move as more people are taking notice to the money wasted on the parties and frivolities. Are there people out there who enjoy the partying and high life living segments of her vlog? Because I just don’t get it, I can’t think of anyone I know who lives like that, it just comes off so pretentious. I don’t want to see her buy Spode, I want to see her buy more compost and spread manure in the planting beds

"How Tattle Saved My Vlog!" 
Yes, they are, watched some of them, most are poorly edited, sound is worse, would never pay for such "extra".
Mine too!!Marquis de Potpourri said:
She should thank Tattle Life publicly for at least giving her some ideas (and points to improve) with a "How Tattle Saved My Vlog!" (new thread title?)
parrrfectgets a vote from me !!!
Regarding the granny farm, I wonder how long past inspection reports are available? And how would one access those?
Just what i tried to explain, i speak 4 languages too, and also a bit of Spanish..
Yes now I think about it.
I know it’s so in Germany because we were told if you go on the autobahn in an older car you can be fined , it’s also harder to get insurance.you need a roadworthy test . This is why younger people tend to not have a car . Your 70 year old car probably has a heritage license however as I hit send I did wonder about France as I’d assumed so I stand correctedHave you ever been to France ?
Germany also plenty of older vehicles.
There are laws though about being a resident and driving a vehicle with UK plates.
