That constant reading out loud of notes/poems/quotes/cards and anything with the alphabet on it ... give me the pip .lolThat latest grift grab, how I so wish that Phylis would develop a severe case of lockjaw. I thought Fanny was going to pass out with the excitement of it all. How embarassing, a grown woman of nearly 50, still acting like a child of 5 who can't wait to rip open the next parcel. Pathetic.
I suspect that it was Derek's dream and he swayed Fanny and then the two of them outvoted Isabelle who was the business brain behind them.Ruth and Potts were in Amsterdam for NYE . They didn’t stay long….. the party atmosphere is fake. Just squirrel thinks it is fun as he is Lord of his castle. Laying tables. What an assets he is. Useless twit.
How many of them had titles for Christmas?
I do wonder.Why was it Fanny’s dream to have a chateau?
She doesn’t have a big family to entertain. Nor lots of friends. She never wanted a family. She doesn’t like gardening.Just who did she imagine would share this remote falling down chateau with her.
If it was just a place to play dress up and assemble furniture dear Daddy had been buying her for years it’s still odd.
Or did she think a Chateau would give her class.
No. A chateau might give status but not class Stephanie
Yes it is sad when you put it like that, but I don't feel sorry for her, at all.Dreaming of something when a little girl or in your early 20's is different to the reality. If Derek hadn't passed away and become enshrined in the dream she probably would have sold it years ago, she may even have got married and settled down. She has become trapped in her dream- prior to YouTube it didn't make her happy, rather entrenched her in loneliness. The friends rallied round and indulged her because of her grief. The Chateau has stopped her living a normal life making friends and finding a partner. Her life has become a merry go round of much anticipated events when people come to stay like Easter where she is indulged. It is very sad actually, La Lande is a bit of a prison now more than ever. As others move on with their lives they will come less and less and not stay as long just look at Potts. Fanny remains at La Lande and is now addicted to the adulation of strangers and so this destructive circle continues. I don't think she even likes the place otherwise she would have shown love to it and got on with the renovations. Fanny is still caught up in making life like a Fairytale but she is actually just making a very shallow existence with fake friends and faux good times. It is sad.
You beat me to itI guess it's safe to say that the chateau was more her father's dream than hers. It's him who started to fill the walls with his 'art' and kitchen tiles. The house looked very much like an art gallery when he was alive, painted plain walls, sparse furnishings, all emphasis on his art... Baghead and Potty were already involved in his real estate shenanigans in London and the idea of owning a chateau was sold to them by him as an investment opportunity. I can see the appeal having a share of a summer house in French country side. The house was never insulated or thought to be lived in at winters, they already owned a beach house in SA. Wealthy pensioners chasing the sun, eternal summer and all that.
The he died and the rest is a big mess. I don't believe Baghead ever planned to own a chateau together with his ex. The plan was to renovate it slowly and enjoy the French country side while doing the place up. And eventually sell it for profit.
He's as bad as Stephanie.That constant reading out loud of notes/poems/quotes/cards and anything with the alphabet on it ... give me the pip .lol
When Derek died and his daughter got in charge Baghead lost his interest in the property, cut his losses and the house started to decay slowly. Isabelle found a new provider and Steph as an aging airhead of no prospects got pushed aside to live in the chateau. Steph has spun a new narrative how the chateau came about and told it so many times it now almost passes as truth.

I know you read here Lielanders…. So do not blame bad luck when the walls the new radiators are installed on fall down. Once again before fixing the walls with cracks, she installs heating.That constant reading out loud of notes/poems/quotes/cards and anything with the alphabet on it ... give me the pip .lol
Which would completely explain why she is so hell bent on spending as little time there as physically possible. Having Phillipa as a travelling companion is just perfect for her. How many males in her age group can just pick up sticks and accompany Fanny in her demented fleeing from the hovel?Dreaming of something when a little girl or in your early 20's is different to the reality.

She is fleeing from herself-always.Which would completely explain why she is so hell bent on spending as little time there as physically possible.

I wouldn't mind betting she'd be delighted if it all comes crashing down and she can take the Patreon cash and head for Paris, Rome or some other busy world capital.
I do apologise for saying that Phillipa was male in the last post. I lost focus for a while
It is sad that an adult woman needs a babysitter.Squirrel is costing the company money and gives NOTHING in return.
100%She is fleeing from herself-always.
Most men his age are carving out a career, forming friendship groups and living a multifaceted life. This twerp is a ladies maid who’ll swing what ever way suits him and settles for a reclusive life literally in the middle of nowhere laying tables for kicks.It is sad that an adult woman needs a babysitter.
His job is to build up Steph's fragile ego by complimenting her looks, style, creativity, uniqueness and listen to her woes. Everybody knows this is his job. EVERYBODY. His job description as decorator/stylist/cinematographer/cutlery&crockery expert was given to him since he finds 'Lady's Companion' degrading but has started to remind one. After a hard days work being with that woman he washes his toupee, gives himself a French manicure and arranges his brooch collection.
Phillipa is what my Parents would have called a 'Lounge Lizard'.100%
I also think she’s socially awkward but craves attention like it’s her life blood. She’s struck gold with flogging, maximum attention with no physical social interaction. Throw in the money which she believes finally gives her credibility and status and sadly this concoction means she ain’t going no where unless the rug is pulled out from under her.

She's so miserable she can't spend one second alone with her thoughts. She needs Snorts' mind numbing constant monologue and remarks, it's like keeping a telly on even nobody's watching just to have the noise as company.She is fleeing from herself-always.
As of 7:57am est, Amanda’s comment is still there.Amanda's answer to @Jules100 comment underneath their Our French Chateau flog, the one where she admits to read here at Tattle, has now been deleted. Perhaps charlatan Stephanie Jarvis reached out to them to make them walk in line again?
One of the best examples of staged excitement and faux surprise was the supremely ghastly yellow frock from Spiral Vermicelli, which became the precursor to Stephanie spreading largesse in the form of a Lalande scholarship for his design "academy" in South Africa.Please keep in mind the fact that when you watch the Grift Grab aka Château Unwrapped or whatever it's called, Gnatti has already opened these, they've probably all had a look so that they can choose which gifts are worthy of been shown, then those gifts rewrapped.
All this 'excitement' is just amateurish overacting.
And shatter those urns and put those poor neglected plants out of their misery. And tread on those very ugly curtains and in turn pull down the curtain rod and wallpaper.It would be such a shame if whilst installing the heating next week, NateTheGreat were to knock the 2022 Ugliest Overpriced Vase in the World on the floor.
One can hope, can’t they?
