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.
Yes it is sad when you put it like that, but I don't feel sorry for her, at all.
You beat me to it
He's as bad as Stephanie.
They are desperate attention seekers, the pair of them.
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. It is sad.
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.
Get a project manager and fire Natti and squirrel.
In the uk I believe jobs should be on the open market not just given to friends especially if a company eg patron are paying.
Squirrel is costing the company money and gives NOTHING in return.

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?
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

She is fleeing from herself-always.
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.
Off topic, but the photos including Natti at the end of the last thread, she looks like Mrs Doyle from 'Father Ted' ! ( I still haven't watched any videos lately) 
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.
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.

Phillipa is what my Parents would have called a 'Lounge Lizard'.
The Chateau Diaries #205 Nutty's Ma put more $ into her sagging bosom, than SJ did in her sagging beams
Watching the old vlogs, how many volunteers did she NOT sleep with? Phi phi is just another one. He is trying and mostly succeeding so far to keep heterosexual men out of the way. He definitely became tetchy when Yoric was there. He disappeared quietly? Next year with potential renovations that...

@Stroppy's post from the last thread..."I was wondering if the young girl who won the Viliotti scholarship ever visited the farmhouse. Wasn't she supposed to be given a trip there last year. Is she still being sponsored, or has that gone the same way as all the other promises of renovations, accounts etc. Of course I know the answer, but some of us do have good memories...."
You are correct. Stephanie Jarvis promised that and a trip to Paris fashion week. However, that has now changed...
Stephanie Jarvis claims that she has sent the final instalment for her Viliotti scholarship.
Look at the body language. They are all complicit.

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.
As of 7:57am est, Amanda’s comment is still there.
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?
One can hope, can’t they?
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.
The theatrical squeals at the moment of unwrapping and trying on the appalling garment was as synthetic as the fabric. Such a shame that the subterfuge was blown by photos (taken by the creepy photographer woman, I think) of Stephanie parading about in the dress several days (weeks?) prior to the relevant episode of the gift grap being filmed.
Anyone with an iota of sense would have seen this for what it was: a great big put up job with frills on.
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.
Here is some speculative food for thought:You beat me to it
Pervy daddy Derek had just done it with the nursing home in England, bought it cheap, renovated it, ran it as a nursing home, made a big profit, and then sold it all to move on to other ventures. Was it a tax move to buy the London apartments in Fannys name and not as she says, an early inheritance but a tax evasion/minimization move? And then flip one of the London apartments on her name to buy half of the Dump?
Daddy Derek did not have enough money in his pocket to buy the Dump himself, fix it up and sell it, so he got Fanny to sell an apartment to go towards the Dump, and recruited Baghead to invest in the purchase of half the Dump, and then he would provide the other third of the money to fix the Dump and flip it for profit and make a killing, just like he and Isabelle did with the English nursing home?
Is Baghead a relative who went in on the 50% of the Dump as a business move to flip it and earn a profit? And that is why Baghead got a mortgage for his half ( intending to pay it off when the Dump sold for a profit?).
So, here are 2 scenarios:
1. Daddy derek was going to pay for renovations with his money from some undisclosed source. And when he died, the source of the funding ended. Didn’t he retire early because of an accident/ ill health/ disability. Isabelle has essentially said that the business ventures that Derek was involved in ended with his death, e.g, possibly the money source ended. Was Derek collecting money for his ill health/ disability/ accident from a policy/settlement/ annuity of some sort that ended with his death? OR was the business venture flipping the Dump and 2. happened.
2. Daddy Derek wasted money and was doing a tit job with renovations, cutting corners like not following safety rules,codes, regulations, not hiring architects/building specialists, etc. and half assed jobs himself. He underestimated the amount of monies it would take to renovate and restore the Dump ( and thought it was like fixing up the English retirement home building) and it took much longer than expected. So he blew all the money he had allocated to the Dump ( a specific amount that would not affect his and Isabelle’s ability to keep the home in England, buy a home in South Africa, and he was free to paint, travel, and renovate, and they both could withdraw monies from retirement savings/stocks/programs, etc.The Dump was to be used as a temporary playground /debauchery pad until it was renovated and sold for a big profit.
But Daddy Derek got in over his head, had no more big chunks of money to spend on the Dump, and his half assed efforts at renovating and restoring the Dump came to a halt, Bagheads parents paid off his mortgage, and then Derek suddenly died, with the business venture of flipping the Dump coming to a grinding halt as a result of his death. Maybe there was a life insurance policy that paid out to isabelle and/or Fanny. Isabelle refused to spend any more money on the Dump thru selling a home, apartment, dipping into savings, etc. So the Dump continued to deteriorate over the next decade. The Dump was worth less after renovations than it was when first purchased.
Isabelle was left with whatever money was in her name or retirement plans/stocks, etc the home in England which she rents, the apartment in France which she rents, and the home in South Africa which she rents. Isabelle split her year between the Dump, England, and South Africa. When she met freshly widowed Percy who had made lots of money, Isabelle quickly dumped her current companion and became a couple with him, and married him several years later, providing her with some additional financial security (even though the chunk of his money would likely go to his kids)
F4F was left with some money from her divorce, and the rent money from some of the following: the London apartment, the England home, apartment in France, and South African home. The whole I wanted to be a princess story was concocted to cover up Daddy Derek’s failed business venture and to get people to feel sorry for the little orphan princess and her life of grifting based out of her part time residency in the Dump. F4F would never sell the London apartment in her name to put towards renovating the Dump so the Dump was left essentially to rot, being patched up only in emergency situations.
Remember that all of the Jarvis crew lie easily, frequently and without remorse.
Where is Gerry’s piece of of the Daddy Derek pie? Was it money invested in his taxi business?
