He’s so much more over the top than QEII. She actually lived this way, and HE IS JUST TRYING to live this way—it’s SO not real—yet he will teach us how to do it with his staged, phony lifestyle videos. This guy really bores me.
I came across this fool at the start of lockdown. Watched a few episodes and had to stop... He's so precious. Phillipa would love to be him rather than servicing a lunatic older woman in a collapsing farmhouse in the middle of the French bush 😁😁😁

@Pippin speaks out, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.❤
That gift grab gives me claustrophobia.. I couldn't be squished on that couch covered in tit like that... coffee table pushed up to my knees... omg.
Its the only way they can keep warm in the cold shotoo!
Fanny can't fool us - those 3 stoves aren't pushing out much heat. Percy & Mummy look like they're frozen and still wearing coats indoor.

TL question. I’ve noticed some people post pics & those pics have random numbers like 65785300001.jpg and some people post pics and they have names like ChateauDiariesKitchen003.jpg. Why are some pics named and some pics not?

If I save them on my computer first, I name them so I can find them, I noticed my names show up on here...

I agree 100%. When I was working and had a cleaning person (a friend, actually), I spent a good hour the night before she was coming over, putting stuff away and tidying up. My husband thought I was nuts, but I wanted her to really clean and not have a bunch of stuff in the way. Believe it or not, I also didn't have her clean the toilets. I felt like that was the "resident's" responsibility, and made sure my husband and kids cleaned any "messes" they made). I miss those days. 😆 I'm retired now and cannot justify the expense of hiring a cleaning person, (for a much smaller place, I might add), all because I'm feeling lazy these days. Although to be fair to my dear little self, I have had a significant back injury for the last 18 months, and haven't been able to do much.

Not that anyone here knows me, but I believe there are many kind-hearted people here (we haters are actually not a bad bunch...). I am sharing that my mother just passed away this afternoon. I had just spent the last 20 hours, sitting with her, whispering to her, holding her hand, sponging her raging fever, suctioning her... and came home to take a nap and shower and she passed while I was gone. She was not alone, but as her closest family member, I was her everything so it feels pretty bad. The hospice nurse told me that it happens because people don't want their loved ones to be there. I know that's how it was with my dad--he waited until the one evening my mom went home (after six months of never leaving his side!) and he died that night. So, I'm here on tattle, trying to escape sadness and yet I'm writing about it. This week will be tough, but after three months of craziness, worry, and sadness, I will be ready to get back to some aspect of normalcy. She was 92. May Bonnie rest In peace and be with all her loved ones who went before her.❤ Thanks for letting me do a little personal derail.
Condolences. May your mom rest in peace.
😘

I bet the door was cheap, something Brico was dying to get rid off.
So he is really not asking Anneliese at all for her opinion? Or she just doesn't care? Is she blind? It's funny how she likes to dress the boys and herself up but has no eye for the house and yard.

In soooooo many ways😜
PhiPhimodo is a bad actor, I wonder if PhiPhimodo is also a loud moaner trying to convince everybody...

I know a lot of het women who find gay porn the only flavor which turns them on (straight men love girl on girl stuff too). I have to say even with this advantage, PhiPhimodo is one of the most unattractive, unsexy people I've ever seen. The unintel surely contributes to the flatline.
Nobody wants to claim PhiPhimodo. The idiot chatelaine only does it, because she was busted by Channel 4. (We must never forget that!)
The fact that PhiPhimodo is also highly unintelligent both academically and socially. PhiPhimodo's responses in the comments, PhiPhimodo's interuption of conversations and PhiPhimodo barely has anything of substance to say. I dislike Nic "Chickenwings" Larkin, but kudos to him for sticking it to PhiPhimodo by talking in a level PhiPhimodo can't comprehend. I mean, for all we know PhiPhimodo believes The Keynesian Beauty Contest is about being pretty. LOL
Lastly, if PhiPhimodo turned out to be trans or non-binary, I would never claim PhiPhimodo as part of my tribe. In fact I don't think any LGBT+ members of this forum would ever claim PhiPhimodo neither as part of their tribe nor as a paramour.

Maybe she's given up trying to be a part of it and just wants the damn thing done. 🤷‍♀️

Sending you much love at this time of sadness. I think writing about it is often easier than talking, especially when the grief is still so raw. I often used to get children to draw a picture of how they were feeling rather than expecting them to be able to put their feelings into words. Look after yourself. xx

Off-topic, but I just wanted to update the 15 yentas and 3 trolls that we had our prenatal visit earlier today. Happy to say that the missus and baby are doing very, very well. Baby's heartbeat is strong and the body is growing steadily. Momma's blood sugar and blood pressure are normal.

That is why I live on Vancouver Island. Cheaper but going up.
I follow youtubers "Tread the Globe" an English couple who are trying to drive around the world in their campervan. They spent some time on Vancouver Island (visiting her aunt and getting van repairs) last autumn, the Island looked fab with lots to see and do. They headed south to avoid the winter temps. How's it going there now?

Phillipa is straight. He'd like to be gay or bi but the gay guys rejected him. I bet there are lots of women swooning for him though. Gays are notoriously fussy.

Hi Philip & Stephanie, Is there any way going forwards that one of the Lalande Moderators could be in the live premiere of each vlog? Tonight we had to endure another troll, which try as you might to ignore them once theyve caught eye you cant ignore them. At least until I worked out how to block them! LOL. It did spoil my enjoyment of the live screening (although I'm now going to watch it back) and as a result I may think twice about watching another premiere. Many thanks & Happy New Year to you all! x
Haven't watched any flog of our beloved charlataine since 10 months (?) but I remember especially a lot of live screaming....... :unsure:

it always puzzles me...why people emigrate to France...buying an old house and a huge piece of land...which in a few years they wont be able to keep tidy..to health or other issues....you can buy a nice new house with 500m2 for like 200000 euros or less..install a swimmingpool and you can have a nice life..why buy that old crap with huge land attatched??? and a nasty neighbor...have to say i wouldnt like to live next to Kathy...but.. to film chickens?? and complain about things you are not able to do anymore..when you are getting older...downsize and make your life easy...and easy to maintain..
People dream. Their imaginations were sparked by some gardening, DIY and cooking gurus, especially on the Internet. Well, social networks are full of false promises.
I once cooked homemade ketchup (inspired by a TV program). I did it. I poured ketchup into jars, arranged the jars with a nice lid and label and everything looked great. When I was done with work, I took a picture (not the jars) of the mess in the kitchen (because the bloody TV didn't say that ketchup is spraying everywhere, and you can't cover the pot because you have to stir) and posted it on social media with a message. It's easy to film cooking ketchup for a TV show when behind the camera 20 assistants run into the space every now and then and clean everything up.
Or. A wonderful show about gardening motivated me to create my own organic garden. With our TV gardener, everything was like a fairy tale, and it was impossible to walk through my garden because of the weeds. Not to mention diseases and pests. Our TV gardener had a garden that was not close to the house, but kilometers away from the place of residence, and she "sold" the story that with various organic gardening techniques, you can have a garden where you won't break your back.
I found out on one forum that she has five employed gardeners and a bunch of machinery provided by her sponsors.
I don't watch that show anymore.
