Billy only made a comment on Dan’s vlog, I hope that’s all it was.
*Whilst I was typing this out Billy was autocorrected to Bulky.
this sort of things always happen in France...we wanted to buy an old mill..as an investment...for renting out...it was lovely...we went to see the place...i said to the agent...does this house behind the mill also belong to the property? he said..oh no...grannie lives there..and the family likes to come and stay with her....i said..wtf...so you are saying...grannie lives in our backyard and all her family has excess over our road?? yes he said...ok i told him..forget it...i dont want granny in my backyard..and i dont want to share the road...find another fool to buy this..and i have to tell you....he didnt mention this situation beforehand...France and real estate is a nightmare...
You can rent bicycles now I think that’s a great idea, the grounds are so big and it’s a shame to miss the petit hameau, we rented a golf cart to visit chateau Rambouillet but couldn’t get to see the Queen’s dairy, the staff take a two hour lunch break lol

Isn't this the same chateau that he and Annalise and the boys visited back in Dec. 2020...
Dan works.
It's a hard and difficult project.
He'll be doing it on a shoe string.
My three major criteria for DIY reno.
Martijn Doolaard has 324K subs and is doing an honest job on a much humbler place, a shepherd's hut in the Val Pelicce. If Dan is one quarter the man, and cinematographer, Doolaard is, he will be successful. Admittedly, half the thrill is watching Doolard execute six-man jobs by himself, without killing himself. Doolaard acknowledges this by wearing an Indiana Jones hat to work every day. He is totally aware of the is-Heather-Mills-gonna-fall-off-her-prosthesis-on-Strictly frisson that watching somebody do dangerous things on video provides. Dan may be too, but he's not as smart a worker/planner/video chess strategist as Doolaard.
I'll watch if you post them.

although i am Dutch..i never use a bicycle...or a golfcart...to go on a bicycle trough the grounds of Versailles...quel horreur..i walk...or go by car
Only if he doesn’t try to make money off of it!So I guess Snorts won’t be able to show his purchase at the Disney gift shop without risking prosecution

Never been to any of them. I don’t actually care for “theme” parks. I’d rather travel to the original inspiration and see that.i have been there only once...when it was open for three months..in 1992...once was quite enough...i think i went into 4 attractions...waited for hours...and paid more than 15 euros for a bad hamburger and a louzy coke...by then i had it..
I have been this summer. It was hell. Don't think there is a less touristic time.Was actually even in Disneyland, I believe Stephanie didn't even stay for the parade otherwise she would have shown it. I am certainly not a micky fan or a show or parade girl, I went because of my son (who found haunted house lame) , but even I enjoyed the parade at the end of the day. I guess she spent all the entrance money to have some fast food since at her age she would be sick for days if she tried any of those rides. Anyway, I can't see her waiting 2 hours in a line for a ride
We used to go to Disneyland Paris every other year starting when my son was a toddler. I ended up hating those parades with a passion. The only reason we went was because the Eurostar was free and a huge discount on the hotels. We also visited Versailles around late Oct, early November one year and it was perfect. No queues that I recall, but I agree you can’t see everything in one day.I have been this summer. It was hell. Don't think there is a less touristic time.
You were lucky you didn’t get dragged onto ‘Its as small world’ daily by a 2 year old.that midnight disneyland parade...it was nice ..all the lights...but that song they played over and over again...haunted me for months...
Just so you don’t feel left out. You have to sit in a boat and there is no escape until the very end.
Don't tell anyone, but I actually love this ride (the original in California.) It has a great message and Mary Blair's designs are genius.You were lucky you didn’t get dragged onto ‘Its as small world’ daily by a 2 year old.

Did you say drama?! Oh no? Where??if Billy is involved...its all because they want to take Fanny Flash down..its as simple as that...they both loath her..i guess we just have to wait and watch..
Ahem,... Remind me of Derek's art though?
He copied Mary Blair.
OMG.........the original Tracing Olli !!!
Yes...I thought that this morning! The last couple of days, maybe two or three pages go by a day, not much to say about nothing, right? I missed your posts, too! Now, all of a sudden - WHAM! PAGES go by! We all have something to say about Dan and his dream of a manor home or chateau, whatever it is. And, I get to read your interesting posts!!He hated those birds!
Have we all noticed how boring shitoo dairies is that a pile of bricks has kept us going. While SJ hate is tattling about her squandering away patreon monies, she would hate it more if we don't talk about her at all
I'm reserving judgement on Dan's shitoo until I see what develops. It's super interesting, more so than Stephanie and her man-child, her mother and Percy and her whacky design sense. I'll take Dan ANY DAY over that because Stephanie's stuff has gotten tired (that sounds like a personal issue, doesn't it? LOL!!!). Like a few have mentioned, my only real wish is that Dan siphons off Patrons and does way better than Chateau Diaries does. Who cares about what he does with the chateau at that point - the owner that sold it to him will keep him honest, I'm betting!
I just want to see Stephanie's grift start to lose its shine!

I would love to have a graveyard next door....the dead make the best neighborsbut then you miss out the view of the church...and the grave yard...
Oooo... you tease!
I have friends who stayed at the hotel that is attached to Versailles. It was very, very expensive so they only stayed for two nights, however it included private tours of Versailles, breakfast and wonderful dinners and the accommodations were superb. I think that's how I would do it if money were no object!
