As to madame no’s comments about the lake:

Remember that the lake officials were only going to approve a much smaller pond to take place of the original lake site at the Dump. Fanny was visibly pissed off when they told her that on video.

After Hurricane Katrina with so many evacuees needing help I offered several acres of land for use to set up a small camp with caravans and mobile homes. It all had infrastructure access and wasn’t being put to agriculture at the time. After volunteering the local sheriff appeared on my doorstep to inform me that he was vetoing my offer to help. When questioned he stated that the town council had gotten together behind my back and decided they didn’t want “those kind of people”. So much for Christian charity. Very much NIMBY. bless you for offering to help, just reaching out to someone lets them know they aren’t alone and that’s so important!

Karma baby!

PATREON VIDEO: (I feel like I have seen far too many of them lately...)

- You will see the NYE party tomorrow on CD, but us patrons got some extra footage... Lucky!
- She is raving over the billiards table for far too long, I have blacked out.
- At the "party" Pilla? Pillar? whatever her name is, the lady from Burgundy wine thingy and her husband are there. PhiPhi is showcasing his prowess -or lack thereof- at playing billiards. he finally gives up and settles to play the piano mediocrely.
- Next on the list, a visit to Limoges and national porcelain museum for PhiPhi's parents.. we get to see some antique items with a wiki narration performed by SJ................... 15 minutes later.. she's still talking about the museum....................

https://giphy.com/wgkKXmFfM6CFM2ebmy
- PhiPhi found pieces in the museum that work with his grandparents' wedding service... OF COURSE!
- She says something about Marie Antoinette... OF COURSE!
- SJ has worked very hard through advent, and is proud that she still can have peaceful days with family, or just read in bed... FFS!
- Heating system starts in about 2 weeks time, she will tell us more about the plans next week.

THAT'S IT! PAY UP TATTLERS! I have suffered far too much on your behalf! I'll accept likes, or pies...

Isn't the convent being converted to apartments to rent or buy? I don't watch their channel, but this is what I remember being discussed here.

You know, we fussed over this last year about this time and from recall I believe the ornaments simply stayed in place while Fanny & her son were out and about. Dan was hanging at the Chateau at the time so maybe he took them down. . . .last year we were a bit concerned about all the grease and cooking debris that might have landed on the ornaments in the kitchen, much less the multiple real trees (which I believe have been exchanged for fake trees). Rest assured, someone besides Fanny & Her Lady In Waiting will accomplish this task, probably in March, April? Definitely in time to drag out her onesie Bunny outfit.

Where is the celebrated Marie Antoinette descendent tree? Is it still sitting in the Dump waiting to be planted? Watch Ñutty or Anne Marie find the dead tree and throw it away.

This is what I’ve been thinking too. No need to spend a fortune doing all the rooms up as film companies often want their own styling. However he does make sure that building maintenance is carried out to protect their investment.

I am sitting on my own beautiful 1880 French bed as a type this.

Does Oily’s daughter need such an expensive bed when the rest of the house and yard are such a mess? They could have gone to Emmaus, bought same bed for 50-100 Euros and had it recovered.

Angie from Chateau Strife would have gladly painted over the fabric for them for just the price of a pot of Annie Sloan milk paint!

Davy and the water survey people told her that allowing vegetation to grow there after draining the pond destroyed the centuries old clay lining so now all that had to be removed and a new lining put down. Also a wide riparian barrier around the shore would have to be added to support the wildlife. These things are non-negotiable It wasn’t mentioned but the sluicing mechanics would probably have to be brought up to standard and on top of all this Stephamememe would not have control of it. The area farmers would have right of access and removal during times of drought. Which you know would have put Izzy in a tizzy and had Fanny foaming at the mouth.

Thank you! Your hang banging video clip nearly sent me into a seizure though. I had to carefully position your post while I read it so that I wasn't get a strobe effect, seriously.
