This is 100% what happened....but I'll add one small addition, if you don't mind.
At some point, after she left Haworth and ended up at her friend's place in France (where she was literally by herself for 30+ days), she posted a "cry for help" post, letting her followers know that she was "better now" but in a loosely veiled comment indicated that she contemplated suicide. Then, Natti and Philip drove to pick her up and brought her to Lalande. After that brief stay, she went back to Nicki's place in France and then went on to Norway and eventually found work in a restaurant, came up with the idea of becoming a chef, I think she even went to England and took classes for getting certified to work on a cruise ship and next thing you know, she's in Africa for a time.

There are things we will never know. And that's probably a good thing.
Thanks @M&MsMom- I became jaded after she burned the entire lovely village of Haworth and Nicki, and stopped following her. It is sad because there were a few of us 15 who truly felt sorry for her, initially, as something truly was not right at the Shitoo of "Life, Laughter, and Love", and were her biggest cheerleaders to escape. She somehow landed herself in a community that supported her with good people. But she threw that all down the loo to "find herself". She's a grown woman who is still lost. There are people who have it much worse that make their own way in life- unfortunately, Marie expects people to give her a free ride while she "finds herself", while offering nothing in return.

Look what I stumbled upon. ;)
Yorick seems like he was a fine and smart student, now a thriving professional who comes from a highly-educated family.



And, it sounds like his family is religious. Here is his mother sharing a testimonial.



Why in the freaking world do they gravitate toward crooked Stephany?

@JackSpratt, grateful your mother's ordeal is over.
Love remains.
One of the last paintings he made, from his bed, with love from Manet.

LMAO! Those pants- Kat has the same ones! (It makes me think of "Beetlejuice" whenever she wears them!)
Kat is probably the person I like the least at the chateau.
Even less than head and head.

It's her manner.
She strikes me as being a bit of a ladette.
If I met her socially in real life, I would give her a wide berth.

We only know what we have been told, maybe Pavlina was just visiting Sarah and will be going to Cyprus too. Her absence has not been explained, and even if explained may not be true. and Maybe they are not a couple and Pavlina is having fun visiting other people, Maybe she wants to be warm for the winter and not left at Lalande when everyone leaves for the Winter . WE will never know
Yes, speculation. More speculation, if they are a couple going home to Maria's family could be a problem. We will never know.

I could be wrong, but it is possible that Pavlina is getting a monthly stipend "asylum seeker's allowance" from the French government, and has access to health care, so there's that. Sarah and Shrek do have some upcoming workshops, so it could very well be that they may have hired her for that, or to help around the Chateau, or they are just being very kind and letting her stay throughout the winter.
I believe the Chatelaine has rented Pavlova to Shrek and the Sewer. Chateau vloggers who are lacking content can rent Pavlova for 1 to 6 weeks. Pavlova will do a bit of raking, chopping and weed arranging and speak up to 100 words per vlog. Next the Influencer and the Wallpaperer will be renting Pavlova. With their lack of renovation and vlog content they will need her for 6-24 months. The Chatelaine is permitting that extended rental on the understanding the Chatelaine can use the Influencer’s new yacht and Tesla once a year.

She's quite crass, and very bogan for her middle class upbringing. I initially thought she was quite clever, but she's become quite annoying as her schtick is always the same. I do give her props for being the only one who calls people out and makes fun of Snorts constantly, so there's that. Oh, I did almost forget- and let's give credit where due- Kat's singing is quite nice, much better than Fanny's falsetto operettas. I just wish the poor girl would stop trying so hard- why can she not just be herself without trying to ham it up once a camera phone is on her?

While MP was her partner in crime at the Brocantes, his taste in tat is far superior to Snorts! It is a shame- if Fanny had chosen MP as her partner for the Christie's Tastemaker gig, the vignettes would probably have been stunning. There would not have been petrol station florals, either, nor would he have let her wear that tatty baby pink jumper! Also, as much as I love Annaliese, I am going to say it- I think MP does a better job on colour and cut.
Totally agree…and I’ll go one step further…I think Michael Petherick was a big reason why people were drawn to Fanny’s channel in the earlier days. When he created his own vlog, Michael immediately gained a huge following…larger than Fanny! I remember sensing some jealous vibes on the part of SJ. It’s too bad Michael self destructed…and I wonder if Fanny didn’t help egg it on behind the scenes…filling his head with bad advice or messing with his confidence? (Don’t get me wrong…Michael was mostly responsible for his own self destruction…but maybe SJ helped it along!)

So if Pavlina is a refugee as pronouced by Stephaine, can she just move around France at will, she obviously wont be getting paid while away, dont know th holiday laws in France, by knowing Stephanie I doubt any holiday pay.

INteresting some on live chat was asking about a reunion with Stephanie, wonder if due to demand she will oblige minus Philip. With him there it will be a wreak. Half way through lost the live stream it went to an pld vlog. Did he mention her at all? Asking for a friend.

UPDATE make the three ingredient cake thanks it WORKED. Wish I coud send you a slice looks yummy. To save icing placed heaps of cherries and nuts on top even partnre is impressed.
Great I'm so pleased. It worked a treat when I made it years ago too, it's so easy. No cake for me this year still losing weight for an Op. But you have made me so happy that the recipe worked for you. Cherries and nuts on top sound great. If you get a chance before it's eaten, post a photo here. We don't mind if it's not on a Spode platter.

Managed to see Micheal Pethericks live chat, he wasn't sweating, and was back as he was before. This has taken a long time and as I said before a lot of help from family using tough love and love. Yes Sadie and Mo were there for support but he handled it well. You can see he misses Stephanie from the comments, sad but she is destructive personality. Philip and Micheal could not be together.

Someone said Stephanie donated $2000, I couldn't see the live chat but it wasn't spoken about. Prehaps that is her guilt money, or prehaps the payment to Micheal to come and help during advent.

Jared is only there to assist with advent as Philip is useless. He was giving Jared his paint gifted for stenciling for his project. Again Stephaine abusing someone with low self esteem, glad his husband is staying longer maybe he read the room.

Forget the accounts, its never going to happen show me the takings of ye little olde shoppe of Philip, lets look at it now to see what cobwebs look like. Bet he hasn't entered it since she was shown Jared's magic in display.

Which leads me to Christmas cakes- WHO thought it was a good idea to cover a perfectly delicious cake, in its own right, with a layer of marzipan AND another layer of icing? I have been dealing with this battle since childhood- why cannot it not just be the cake bit itself?!?
I do !
I have made my Chrissie Cake and its iced with marzipan and white icing with my handmade marzipan fruits on the top Rexy ! :love:

His hair really does look like a toupe.
I wonder if Stephanie is trying to get rid of him. He’s like a limpet she will have no secrets…I cannot imagine living working socialising every day with him?
Someone paid over the odds for Paul Daniel’s ( dead magician) toupee at auction last week. Fanny’s Christmas present to PhiPhi?

Advent has always been huge with the Chatelaine… now no mention of it at all. No making of Christmas cake in advance. No preparations. Barely even any talk of Christmas.
In Michael’s Live chat last night someone asked when he would be visiting Stephanie again. There was a certain amount of laughter and he said “ maybe very soon”. Tattlers asked for the return of Michael for the Advent Diaries …

Oh he will adore that Christmas present from Fanny --- a $$ second-hand "Possum" for his head !!!

* " A Possum " is slang for a wig in Oz.
