@Lady Avonlea, thank you so very much for updating us with pics and commentary.Making the Easter Pie & Dinner – 6.40 minutes
So that's it Tattlers - how to fill 25 minutes with so much, yet so little content!!!
- Natty is drying the sheets outside – what happened to the laundry service???
- Cuz finishes his work for the day while Snorty stands over top and inspects (THAT WOULD PISS ME OFF NO END)
- Snorty outlines his ideas for the Area Cuisine – he wants a new counter on 1 side with integrated bins (Fanny says they can't afford because of all the other projects like the chapel, GS and Lake...and her travel!!!). He also wants to install the new fridge they already have, but Fanny's not sure. Fanny clearly doesn't know how to fit that wee project into her busy travel schedule.
- Fanny burned one of her Easter pies!!!
- Eating dinner – Grant’s kids appear to be in shock, while Amuary & Natti are MIA (again)

Kevin is outside in the sun and Grant is inside the freezing shitoo!

@Lady Avonlea, thank you so very much for updating us with pics and commentary.
Key takeaways:
1. Snorty is morphing more into a 50's housewife every day!
2. Anmuary & Natti are keeping their heads down, doing their work, not saying much and sticking to themselves in the evenings.
1. Snorty is morphing more into a 50's housewife every day!
- sitting on his ass in the kitchen planning the cooking rota with the hired help
- directing Kevin on how to do the plastering in the Marquis Suite
- supervising Amuary's work on the dishwashers
- planning the layout of the Area Cuisine
2. Anmuary & Natti are keeping their heads down, doing their work, not saying much and sticking to themselves in the evenings.
Are they planning on buying China that can actually go into the dishwasher without ruining them?So Steph goes food shopping and when she gets back kitchen is a Megga mess and snorty sat on his arse planning cooking and cleaning rotas for everyone like why he couldn’t tidy kitchen is beyond me and he probably thinks below him - noted on said rota they have put grant and his wife on cleaning and cooking duties ( he also cooked the night of filming ) like I wouldn’t dream of expecting guests to cook and clean
Armoury hard at work plumbing in two dishwashers again while snorty sat around !
to hear him then giving Kevin instructions on some coving you would think he owned the place
I seem to recall said dishwashers were ordered some time ago but Steph really needed them doing with guests on the way is there no forward planning at all !

I’ve only watched a couple of their blogs are they not worth watching?

That is not enough food for 50 people yet alone 10.Wishing Karma Baby a speedy recovery! Since I don't yet know how to upload the patreon vlog here is a summary which I entitle:
'How to Jam 25 Minutes with So Much of Nothing'.
Boulanger - 1 minute
---
- Fanny self filming walking through a parking lot in Chateau Rue – heading off to shop for ricotta to make an Italian Easter pie. All the grocery stores are apparently out of ricotta. (I take it that means the Cheese Man isn't coming for Easter)
- Fanny wants to go to her favourite Boulanger for lunch, but is shocked that there’s a que (to be fair, Fanny usually isn’t out of bed, let alone out of the shitoo, before noon so imagine her surprise that people are out and about).
- Fanny buys treats for the shitoo then sits and wolfs down a warm cheese sandwich
Driving and Grocery Store - 3.30 minutes
p.s. Grant, wife, 2 children & Maria have all arrived (desperate fools)
- Sitting in Car, Driving, Shopping for asparagus and ricotta at her favourite grocery store
- Terrible horreur – Fanny put blue tights on with black heels and a cream dress (actually one of her better outfits)
- Buys a pre-packaged Easter Pie for lunch – just sausage meat with hardboiled egg, wrapped in pastry (but that's almost identical to the Easter pie Fanny is making)
- Videos the grocery store and buys tons of ricotta & wild garlic (squeals in delight
)
---
Countryside Drive - 2 minutes
---
- Driving through the country side – quite pleasurable - lovely piano music, no Belle Epoque and no Snorty
Return to the shitoo – 4 minutes
- Kirsty shoveling tit and Fanny accidentally drives over the trailer - Oopsie!!!
- Kitchen in a big mess because the 2 new dishwashers are being installed (literally every room is under construction. Fanny just realized they needed to be installed because Maria was returning. (Were new dishwashers a condition for Maria agreeing to return???)
- Stupid Fanny thought she’d simply turn the dishwashers on without any installation (Anmuary has been busy replumbing, levelling the counters, building carcasses – while Fanny swanned off to Dubai to shag Potty!
- Snorty sitting on his butt - doing nothing!
- Anmuary’s butt crack - working hard!

Thank you @Lady Avonlea for your synopsis of this week’s enthralling Patreon video.
Was there a spoiler for tonight’s video, with the inclusion of Hello Fresh on the list of cooking and clearing up duties?

It must be feeling so cloyingly claustrophobic in that place now. Less rooms that they can use due to structural problems and the rooms they can use are now over stuffed with things.
This eliminates most people at the shitoo, especially Fanny!

planning the L'arriere cuisine? for what? so they can start working on it in 2040? I believe they still have a grand salon and 2 bedroom's to fix? basically a whole wing
They are feeling the burn from the roasting they have received and now come up with a fake ''planning'''of a fake ''project'' which will never happen.
Yes, it's her favorite season, where everyone else does the work!
I see Stuart is listed with Pavlina...I was right about Stuart. She's in DEEEEEEP.
And Tanner, Jared's husband.
So that answers one question Jared and Tanner are still an item. And who are Simone and Finger? Thanks again @Lady Avonlea for your input I’m now off to throw a few punches imagining that smug little twit is on the receiving end. In every picture he never fails to always looks like a supercilious little know it all.
What's clear is Fanny does no pre-planning except for trips & vacations (the woman should have been a travel agent). Fanny doesn't seem to pre-plan any meals, but relies on guests to bring most of the food while she fills in with a couple of basic dishes. If I had a boatload of guests arriving by Good Friday and was hosting a brunch for 50 on Easter Sunday, I'd have planned my meals, surveyed my pantry, ordered provisions, pre-cooked/frozen what I could and had a detailed shopping list in hand for a mighty big, final shop just before everyone arrives.
Instead Fanny has her keys still in hand while she pops out to pick up a few last minute ingredients on the day to make a single dish. Heck, Grant had to go the next day to get more (including pepper)

I should imagine by the end of the day (I would if it were me) after having that twit lording over me while I worked my arse off, AnnMarie must be a gnats whisker away from punching him in the face. No wonder Nasty and him go out. Pavlina sitting their in her coat. Just how many of us sit down at home to eat a meal still a wrapped up for the outside, it must be so cold in that place. Still, what do I care, they all deserve to be miserable.
To me what is the mystery is how the same people go back year after year for the same crap food and entertainment. They obviously don’t know any better.
Simone is Grant's wife. Finger refers to finger foods.
I'm with you on this! I rather have anyone else getting SJ's Patreon monies, than SJ. She and her crew are simply not able to manage vast amount of monies/projects.

Literally, Snorty was standing there watching over Anmuary, and as Anmuary began to carry stuff out of the room Snorty actually moved forward towards the dishwashers to inspect the situation with an air of 'this better be up to my standards'.
I would have belted the little twerp. Anmuary has the patience of a Saint.
Haven't seen you for a while! I remember your Christmas decoration, which looked so much better than what the heap crew had put together with all 6 of them!
love the Easter bunny's
Surprise, Surprise Surprise - look who is up early and responding to patrons. Fanny is as sweet as ice tea!!! Fanny must be worried she's losing patrons. Dan is gaining patrons, Michael Petherick is back on the scene and Beckynator isn't good for business.

This was such a happy day!!!! I enjoyed seeing the grocery store, so neat to see how things are over there! I was amazed at how beautiful the area is around you! I had to remind myself that this was your real life and not a TV show!
Seeing the everyday life in a different country is one reason I enjoy your videos. So excited to see Grant and Maria back! And see your new dishwashers have arrived! Yeah! Love seeing the behind the scenes messy bits. Just remember a mess means there is either creativity and/or progress going on. Oh, almost forgot, why is navy tights, black shoes, and a cream top a bad combination? I genuinely want to know so I can learn and improve my fashion sense. Also, how did you film and drive at the same time! 
I hope you were using a phone holder attached to your rear view mirror! Sending hugs! Untill tomorrowStephanie Jarvis

In France we don’t tend to mix navy & black or brown & black unless it’s a deliberate design statement, otherwise it looks like a mistake. Yves Saint Laurent was famous for creating a brown/black ensemble and sending it down the runway, before it had been considered a no-no! Actually navy and black can also look amazing together, but it should be the whole outfit, not just a single pair of tights that don’t match. But really, none of it matters as long as we enjoy what we’re wearing (and we’re warm and comfortable!)

I’m an Italian American and we always make an Easter Pie every year. Ours is slightly different than the one you made but yours looks very yummy! I love to eat it cold or warmed up. Thanks for sharing. So lovely to see Grant and Maria back! Happy Easter!

Why so cold indoors? I thought the heating had been finished?
Stephanie Jarvis
30min
No, the heating won’t be totally finished until May, we have hot water but absolutely no heating yet!
They were having lunch in the dining room. I guess Annmarie was too busy to lit up the wood burner, Pavlina busy in the garden and the remaining crew was too busy to be arsed to have a fire going. Such a warm welcome for guests to have lunch while you freeze!
Having the wood burner lit up and going through the day would have been mine priority, but hey the heap crew can't be arsed.
I call BS....
Fanny pays for all the food except for all the copious amount of food stuff guests bring, the volumes of food gifts from Grabeaux and the sponsor placements.

Just curious, Stephanie do you pay for all the food for the entire house?
Stephanie Jarvis
12min
Yes, I do, I think it’s only right, as everyone is there to help on the chateau in one way or another, and at Easter I love to host my friends. In the past, before I had a ‘proper job’ with YouTube, my friends would all contribute at Easter, they’ve always been so supportive, but I stopped that as soon as the vlogs started doing well. Nothing makes me happier than having everyone here

They did have the fire on for dinner - people were still freezing.

At first I was a day early in anticipation of this flog and then late thanks @Lady Avonlea you are on the ball at least xxxWishing Karma Baby a speedy recovery! Since I don't yet know how to upload the patreon vlog here is a summary which I entitle:

Grant and his really pretty wife cooked dinner brought the groceries and the wine. he poured Fanny a glass while she burnt her Easter pies. They have just come from bloody Oz and she goes out shopping at lunch time because she wasn't up and can't even cook them a meal and provide wine. Snorts is busy redesigning the Atelier Cuisine and they have yet another fridge for in there which needs fitting.Snorts wants to extend the worktops round for a tea and coffee station But none of this can be done with the heating, the lake and the chapel (send more money) it would probably cost no more than driving to Chateauroux. Incidentally the boulangerie had so many interesting sandwiches brimming with fresh produce and Fanny has melted brie and bacon-her diet is awful along with her imagination. she over annunciated SAND-WIIIITCH again.
Definitely something funny with time line she had no sign of a cold today and the botox veins have regressed.
Grants wife is really pretty and quiet she looks really sweet, he is definitely punching.
Kevin is finishing off the coving in the Marquis Salon, Snorts tried to speak to him in French with his opinions on the design (his French and his high heels are both really bad.)
The Chateauroux supermarket shows the abundance of local fresh produce brimming with vegetables, salads, wild garlic, cheese so why the 3 full time gardeners who just grow too many courgettes. Fanny travels to this supermarket to buy tubs of Ricotta from Italy heaven forbid she makes something French ever!!
In the flog she has a long chat with Kirsty about dandelions and Fanny picks about 6 leaves to put in her Italian pie. Kirsty says she has ordered new blades for the grifted sit on lawn mower, which obviously shouldn't need replacing after a couple of years they just don't take care of anything. Kirsty wants a quad bike.
The kitchen was an absolute tip. The Smeg fridge freezer section needs defrosting badly probably why she is buying so many fridges can't be aged to defrost so buys another one. Natti was elated because she had hung the first load of washing outside and said she likes going outside because it is warmer than inside.

That was dinner she was in Chateauroux at lunch time
