Perhaps someone will be able to explain to me how this woman was on her own draining the lake when allegedly Potts was attempting to save the fish and the Larkin blackguard was there as well?
Perhaps someone will be able to explain to me how this woman was on her own draining the lake when allegedly Potts was attempting to save the fish and the Larkin blackguard was there as well?I'm no expert on lakesbut I do believe the lake was a man-made sport fishing feature, along with the fish holding area (the area that Potts wants to be the natural swimming pond). They diverted water to create it (centuries ago) from the local streams and it has a built-in sluice (?) feature to lower the lake (control the water level), when fish would be moved to the holding area (natural swimming pond to be) perhaps for breeding or restocking. Not sure how the lake is or was connected to the moat, if at all. The moat also used to be larger and was changed at some point, but they discovered original walls. Not sure about the water table or well system of the property but there are some natural streams that seem to run through the property. I can't recall any video where Stephoney talked in-depth or knowledgeably about water on the property (lake, natural natural streams, water table, wells and natural water sources). Her "narrative" was that water police demanded she drain the lake and threatened her with fines and legal troubles, so she did so without talking to any experts (being all alone and depressed, she didn't bother to investigate or hire an expert at that time - insert sob story here) -- so she opened the sluice (?) and drained the man-made lake. She found out some years later that the water police lied to her or misled her -- I recall her saying that she could have chosen NOT to drain the lake, but once she did so, they could then threaten her with legal troubles if she refilled it (using local water). I do know that Europe has complicated rules around water for conservation. In the meantime, trees and shrubs have filled the area -- and I believe there's still some swamp area where the frogs and other creatures have made their home. We'd need a good topical map to see the water systems clearly which I suspect that now have with the various surveys.
It was Ash who worked as a councellor.I can never remember which it was, but one of them was in the local government back in the UK and never informed them he was moving full time to France. When he was caught he claimed to still be able to serve his UK constituency from their crap palace. As you say, another palaver!
She speaks French but as far as I can see basic/everyday French definitely not enough to converse in a formal setting. If I remember correctly when she went to Paris she was reading her speech, so well prepared!exactly. and she speaks French.
Billy P isn’t the only scandal du jour in the chateauverse.Teresa owned a pet shop.I think mom and dad were retired and sitting at home watching Coronation Street. Still not sure to whom that little boy belongs.
Ideal lamp for (leaking) château - with rain roof !Is hunter green and honey oak making a comeback?
I found a perfect lamp to gift them to complete their vintage Polly's Pies/Marie Callender's motif.

The colors remind me of Teabag’s cottage kitchen…oak cabinets with dark green walls…but done on the cheap. Two rows of tile backsplash looks unfinished and cheap. What material is the countertop? Not having the kitchen sink centered under the window would drive me crazy. But…I guess I shouldn’t be too harsh. They remodeled the kitchen, finished a project, and supposedly kept within a budget. If their budget only allowed for certain finishes, then I can’t fault them. But it couldn’t have been too much more money to add more tile to the backsplash.Subway tile to the ceiling would look far more appropriate and French. Two rows of tile look ridiculous especially against the dark green paint.

I wonder if she had to pay some fee to have had emptied the lake like that. It certainly didn't comply to any regulations to just empty it. What about all the fish and other animals?I believe all of the above that Potty Baghead and mummy dear were involved but let’s not forget that there is a vlog where she said she was completely ALONE at the shittoo when the water police came and frightened her so much by accusing her of breaking the law so she emptied the pond immediately.
Her lies contradict each other, was she alone and helpless Noooo. Were they all too mean to pay out so that the lake and it‘s outflow did not contravene the EU regulations on water control. Yeeeesss.
Ashtray as a politician????? Now that’s funny. Really? Impossible. Just cannot even imagine it.It was Ash who worked as a councellor.

Sorry, “councillor”. I tried to change it but didn’t work.councellor
She probably doesn’t know what they are quoting for and does not care. Bunman is dealing with it as it is his friend? What is shocking is that she has only one quote and £300k was mentioned. Who on earth would ever do that. I guess someone who is not paying for it. We know Nathan only does gas installation and not wood pellet as I rang him!!Has Stephoney provided any concrete details about the new heating system? I recall there being a few different ideas and a phased approach. Is it a new boiler? gas, oil, pellets? I feel like we've only been given bare details because it's boring, unlike splashing out on "beautiful" things.
It really is low level stuffAshtray as a politician????? Now that’s funny. Really? Impossible. Just cannot even imagine it.
Billy and Gwen’s “end game” is still a mystery. Just a guess on my part… but I think Billy might be planning to rent out the Chateau to film crews to record shows or movies, and then use the convent as rental housing for the production team and actors. If Begmania will be a film set, there’s no need to sink more money into the basement kitchen and those other things (at the moment). But, if they want to entice film crews to come to Begmania, there also needs to be the infrastructure to support that effort…including a place for a large group of people to stay for an extended period…the convent. I don’t think a large hotel or rental property exists near Begmania today. If that’s the plan, I have to give him credit for the idea. Of course, Teabag is busy getting ready for his big screen debut and close-ups!I have to say that although Belly’s convent work is good, I keep wondering why the time and money weren’t put instead into the chateau -finishing restoration of rooms, basement kitchen, waterproofing terrace etc?????? The whole family seems disinterested in the chateau, not even living in it or using it in any way to make money. I guess the Wife/Baby Machine has family money to burn and Belly is playing with it.

Surely that wooden cabinet panel right next to the gas burner is a kitchen fire waiting to happen??
Patreon cannot buy class…..Beau Chateau, Chateau Purnon, Our French Chateau are all far more interesting than the Smug's and Fanny. Beat Chateau source trees locally and do work themselves. All three of these have interesting content that isn't banal and following chicken etc-begs the question how does Fanny have such rabid followers. Beau Chateau also work running their business, they don't all bang on about editing and how hard they work and how little time they have.
90's crockery too and a faux sunflower ummmm
Is she on her way back to Ukraine.according to her instagram pavlina is now in poland. so who will clean christmas ornaments in the house?
It also hung in my family's kitchen dinette when I was a kid.That’s in my dad’s dining room right now.
All a bit strange to me. I find it hard to believe Billy doesn't have a plan, doing all this work and spending a small fortune on building supplies, tools and wages for two men, but no direction or plan?? But whatever he's doing, it puts Fanny to shame. He works hard and has something to show for it.I have to say that although Belly’s convent work is good, I keep wondering why the time and money weren’t put instead into the chateau -finishing restoration of rooms, basement kitchen, waterproofing terrace etc??????

I was just thinking that painting the kitchen cabinets might help too. Also, they need to remove the kid’s bedroom set mirrors off the wall. At least they are trying and their kitchen isn’t covered in grease and grime.
I have never noticed a backsplash stopping there....usually to the upper cabinets- or close anyway. My husband has done numerous tile backsplashes- but I never saw one stop there. I was going to say maybe the tiles are back ordered and they’ll finish when they arrive...we can only hope!!!What’s worse - the sink which is not centred on the window or the 2-row “backsplash”? Did they run out of tiles? Couldn’t afford more because the cabinets took up entire $600 budget?

Nothing like paper napkins to set an impressive table and trying to pull off a table runner by using folded fabric doesn't quite work. Where are the water glasses? This reminds me of attending budget receptions in church basements. I can only imagine what the menu is.The Columbians need to watch the Gay Twink’s channel or have him come teach them how to set a more flamboyant table for a party.
