The Chateau Diaries #198 The Shytoo is falling down - but Selmar's campervan is available!

[Lochness Monster]

I just looked thru the tattle archives . Here is a 2019 news article posted about the Jarvis brother. Derek was the oldest of 3. He had a brother named John who was married to his wife since 1957.

MEMORY LANE: Friends from back home reunite on the North Shore

“Believe it or not, the story starts in 1944,” says Mike Jarvis, while telling a story about friendship and shared history. Go back 75 years to a seaside town in the south of England.

www.nsnews.com

I originally guessed that uncle Jean Christopher could be referred to as John.
But the John Jarvis brother in this article isn’t married to a Sharon. Or, is she married to another Jarvis closely related to the brothers and F4F loosely refers to him as an uncle and that explains the resemblance? Does the John in the article look like a much older version of the Jean Christopher in the above article?

I am confusing myself. Disclaimer, to cover everyone, the above discussion is all speculation for entertainment purposes only. The Mckitten is now officially carry confused.Everything associated with Stephanie Jarvis is strange and never straightforward. Smoke and mirrors 24/7 on every aspect of her life and those surrounding her

It’s is intriguing…..F4F appears to share so much whilst….. telling so little.
I too have spent time digging!
One thing , why no visible photos of DEREK and Isabelle’s wedding?
Were they married in France?

Why has Stephanie been so spoiled?
Isabelle works far harder than F4F . The earliest vlogs Fanny is shopping( yes she is a hoarder too..) going to galleries, eating out but having volunteers working for her and she is swanning about going to parties.
Potts is also a spoilt brat. No wonder they got along.

Also no vlog from Selmar for a few days and all quiet from the Scandinavian florist.

Quite right too. My grandmother, my elder brother and I are the only blondes of previous generations. It really peeves my mother. Particularly with my grandmother (her mother) who remained a perfectly coiffed blonde until her death. And with me. Apparently I'm too like my grandmother! She continuously berates me to let the grey come through and grow old gracefully. Argh. Never. Kicking and screaming all the way.

Someone sounds like she is jealous of your hair.
It's your head. You do what you want to it.

Cornelia used to be very into high end fashion and her house was paid for for years by an ex lover-she is like Fanny's ghost of Christmas future. Surrounded by amazing antiques which are so thick with dust they can't be appreciated. I thought she was rude to the young people who came and cleaned it all, naturally they didn't share her taste or knowledge of antiques but they really cleaned the place up. Cornelia should sell the place and move into a nice warm apartment with her favourite pieces and then she can afford to live in comfort-she can't take the house with her

Is this really the same woman as in the first picture ( of those 4 pics)? I don’t even know about her, Cornella, who she is- but this has my interest- as soon as I have time to watch that video I am going to. DH is home/ it’s Saturday, so I will watch when he’s not judging my choices in YouTube’s! This looks interesting. But also makes me think I need to get dusting here before I get that layer thing going on- hard to just dust that. Orange Glo to the rescue.

Do you watch the hoarding series’ that Curiosity Inc clears out? He has done three. It really is quite sad and overwhelming.

Yes the Musician's house was amazing, she had done so many things with her life, and then that end. I loved all the treasure that was found, the auction and how it was finished for new people to move in.
Here's a link to the series of videos about clearing and cleaning out the Musician's house, for those of you who need another rabbit hole to go down!

Yes, as long as there is Clariol!!!
I am a blonde by birth too/ So this is “my natural color; that I no longer achieve naturally” as I heard a celebrity say once. I have mouse color if I don’t add hi lights— thankfully my daughter is a hair stylist/color specialist so I keep it acceptable. She would never allow me to use a box color/ clairol. My sister-in-law once said it must be nice to have blonde hair just growing out of your head!

I think it’s time for someone to contact the proper authorities and tell them there’s a nutjob in the loose in Ireland and to please send the men in white coats with a HUGE butterfly net! Said whackado goes by the sobriquet Irish Mammy and has delusions of chateauverse grandeur!

She is likely related to the Petherick clan. Sadie mentioned her daughter was born in Ireland so perhaps the father is a traveller too.It’s very hard being a single parent in that community.But Sadie looks very like most of the girls her age with the dyed hair ,makeup designer bags etc.
Didn’t Jarvis say hse has Irish blood in her too since the DNA tests

i always say...what you see is what you get...i always tell the truth..so there will be no surprise there when you meet me..although the whole picture i can never reveal...in private for sure..but not inhere.. i dont have instagram...we do have facebook...thats one of the reasons i cant post pics...people would find out in a jiffy...i cant even show the dogs here...lotts of photos of them on facebook so...mostly with the house in the background..

 

[suthern_lurker]

I really hope I’ll never buy a chateau.

All those things and secrets you all would find out about me, with your endless researches.

That’s where all the fun is though? No???
Finding out the “secrets”!

 

[Lochness Monster]

I love the fact that Michael Potts was adding loads of butter and cream to the mashed potato to keep 'alledged dairy free' Snorts at arms length

Stephanie made a cake full of lemons too. He’s lergic to citrus.
It is odd that such a naive boy loves beetroot and…..dates….. but had never seen an artichoke before.
I think mealtime for him are terrifying.

My SIL has horses, she keeps them in France rather than the uk as it is cheaper!
