I totally agree. This double kissing and hugging people that you have only just met is still rather alien to me and, on most occasions, makes me feel rather uncomfortable. Just why would you do that? Fine for friends and family but not complete strangers no matter what their culture.I find I am more comfortable erring on the side of formality in both how I dress, and how I greet people I may no know very well. It's easier to go down than up!
If that isn't the case, then I wonder which chateau it is then? Must be one that was originally featured on CDIY, otherwise absolutely no relevance to the Strawbridges who were featured in the news articles. Yet again, just fake news maybe!@Summerbaby AND, the Strawbridges are now selling their chateau too!
I don’t think that their chateau is on the market i believe it is another one that was on the Chateau DIY programme that Dick narrated. Just misleading reporting.
Sorry @Imperious Me just seen your reply too.
“Thank you for asking…” It ended up just fine. I’ve met the mother before, she’s very nice. It was a little stressful to me because of the renovations that were making their way inside and a few more people than usual. I already had linen napkins, I bought 2 matching linen tablecloths and some water hyacinth chargers. Used my husbands grandmother’s China, had my middle son that used to be a bus boy at a fancy Italian restaurant set the table properly, I used sea grape leaves with peoples names on it as place cards and of course my controversial pineapple centerpiece with mercury glass votives & unscented tea lights scattered around.Wasn’t that entertaining your sons future in-laws. How did you all get on and have they set a wedding date yet.
I never watched her vlogs, but from what I've read here I don't understand why she ever started a YT channel to begin with. IMO, a YT channel is like a business. You need to have a product or service, marketing plan, and a well thought out way to deliver it whether it's for profit or not. Otherwise, just do IG, Tik Tok or FB with images and short reels. Watching and listening to someone blab on about nothing, or worse, complaining is depressing and boring. 🥱BREAKING NEWS: Kween Kathy is retiring her flog! Fed up with the negativity effecting her life. Can’t says that I blame her. Even the most well intentioned, thick skinned person can succumb to the effects of negativity if hit on a daily basis! Bonne chance and Godspeed Kathy.

It probably started as a slice of life video diary. I watched occasionally and I was a subscriber. I did admire her for donating any income generated to charity. Even more so for producing receipts of doing so.I never watched her vlogs, but from what I've read here I don't understand why she ever started a YT channel to begin with.

Originally Kathy started her vlogs just for fun…sort of a video diary. She never expected anything out of it…it was really just for her. Then, she made a vlog where she commented about the thank you card she received from LaLaLande, months after she’d become a patron (I’d have to go back and look…she might have actually received the card after she’d already unsubscribed from SJ’s Patreon…just goes to show how late they were). Anyway, the comment wasn’t earth shattering, or particularly negative, but it got picked up here on Tattle (maybe some other places?) and that vlog took off…it got a ton of views. She was really surprised. She actually took a lot of flack from SJ’s deluded fans…the flying monkeys attacked. At first, she really didn’t have anything too negative to say about SJ, but that changed (as it does with most of us who see SJ’s antics). I appreciated her honest, tell-it-like-she-sees-it approach.I never watched her vlogs, but from what I've read here I don't understand why she ever started a YT channel to begin with.

Happy to hear it went well and no disasters“Thank you for asking…” It ended up just fine. I’ve met the mother before, she’s very nice.

After dinner, I know it’s not her style and she does not want to use it, so no pressure from me, my son’s fiancé tried on my old wedding dress just for fun.
They don’t have a definite date set, but they’re looking at April or May 2024.

I originally thought that it was about Kathy giving tips/hints about people moving to France from the UK, e.g. ex-pats and the up/down-side of that experience. Perhaps that content ran its course and then she felt she needed to spread her wings into other areas for content. IDK!I never watched her vlogs, but from what I've read here I don't understand why she ever started a YT channel to begin with. IMO, a YT channel is like a business.

You are just so naughty! Fair play to you. Absolutely love your honesty because, from personal experience, I know that if I had said that, a ton of bricks would have come down on me!Oh, she finally took her own advice and fucked off?
It's the one with the butch looking chef wife, (not being rude honest), and I think her hubby is Scottish... they had a cafe in the chateau..If that isn't the case, then I wonder which chateau it is then?

I remember watching that vlog. They put so much work into the tea room. Once again, many of these chateau people are winging it without having the knowledge or skill to pull it off. You really need to have a detailed cost analysis business plan before jumping in. From what I saw, there was no way they were ever going to make a profit. No customer base, hoping people would just drive by and see the sign, putting out an awful lot of homemade food so basically paying themselves nothing, nice idea but not sustainable.It's the one with the butch looking chef wife, (not being rude honest), and I think her hubby is Scottish... they had a cafe in the chateau..
Ok, that is the chateau that I was directed to by another member. I wonder why, as I thought they were doing ok?It's the one with the butch looking chef wife, (not being rude honest), and I think her hubby is Scottish... they had a cafe in the chateau..
Can't even include 3 hags?The recipe will stay a secret between the 5 to 6 million Kiwis of this world!
