You are correct.
These comments from 12/21. 👇 I do believe that the problem is frozen toilet water. This strange answer from SJ is very telling.
Funny, Tallulah P, was asking about dishes in the attic.

Question: do you worry about the china cracking and checking in the cold?

No, I’ve never worried about it. I’ve never seen it crack from cold (except if in contact with water such as a toilet if the water in it freezes)
It would be funny if, on a frosty night, Marie filled the porcelain fondler's vase collection with water and put it outside to freeze. Might as well do the Ardmore vase, while she's at it. 🤣

If you ever want to understand the plethora of things that are in Lalande's kitchen, Marie Wiik has made it easy for all to see. Just look at the tubs full of stuff on the floor! They have so much stuff, they don't even know what they have, as per the last picture. This, today, from her Instagram account.

*The heating is an issue...the accident was tragic...but, it could have been worse. The matter will be resolved*.
Brenda you really are a fucking know fuckall shit EXPLAIN your reasoning.

@JackSpratt Yes, Kirsty and partner are full blown members of the Brenda Gibbons Appreciation Society, old Bren is regularly phoning her up.

So now as far as I'm concerned, Kirsty is fair game in my book.

Any of the fuckers that return time and time again are fair game. They know what she is, they know what is happening but continue to enable her to fool the gullible sycophants. Or they are equally as greedy and want a slice of the money pie. Think Dan & Viv. Anyone who continues to visit that shithole, stay at that shithole or invites the shittooline to stay with them or to holiday with them is just as immoral as she is.

Pavlina moved to Prague.
I think she's just visiting and is there as part of her travels through Europe.
At least that's what I see when reading her posts. She spent a fair amount of time in Vienna, too, prior to Prague.

I sometimes wonder how Nati can work at her desk with so much going on in the petite salon. I wonder if she would like a dedicated office space with a proper door.

There is a desk area upstairs she can also use when the heat is finished. Her files are upstairs or in the new China cabinet bottom drawers that she claimed.

Antoine is now 13, and his mother wants the pool built in the back. That would bring him and his friends for a visit. Dan's children could also visit more during the year.

After the heating system is finished and the Grand Salon is done, then the apartments by the wood hanger will also be done. Steve is working on new wallpaper for even the rose room for the B&B and staff rooms. Upstairs in the attic, the bamboo room, Marie's bedroom, and bathroom and tiny room are being worked on. One day, Amaury and Natti will have choices of area. A new pool area and building could be built with a gite there for them.
Oh, yes, Caroline! Let's let the Patrons just pay for everything the owners of that cesspool enjoy!
Next thing you know, they'll be paying outright for Antoine's university, too!
Assholes. All of them.

Funny how the man-child can eat St-Lucia buns made out of 150g (roughly 1/3 of a pound)of butter and between 350ml to 500ml(1.5 to 2 cups) of milk depending on the recipe. :sneaky:

The dog needs training as soon as possible to become well adjusted. If treated as a child he'll become maladjusted and be an annoyance to guests especially if he becomes protective and snaps. His breed doesn't give a warning bark. It is also obvious he bonds with people he knows. He'll become protective of them when he becomes more assured. He has a dog brain and will understand the world as a dog understands the world and protect his pack. This isn't a children's story where love will overcome - the dog's love is likely to be protective. Finally, his breed was used to hunt (in his case probably vermin if I'm correct) and can be aggressive.. He is no Molly. I saw the results a toddler bitten by a barkless dog. I had read the dog's body language earlier and warned the owner. Finally, Gerry's fun disposition may over stimulate the dog. An overstimulated dog can behave unpredictably. I see potential trouble

He gets on my wick but that was all he asked for and those arseholes couldn't even do that for him. Her 'adoptive' brother she loves so much, it felt as if they were mocking him for not being 'refined'. They pull out all the stops to cater for Holland's Hairball and all of his 'allergies' so why not Gerry who has done more for her than that waste of air ever will.

They, ALL of them, are nasty, mean spirited and just plain evil.

Look at the prices for Potties‘ photos. They have increased to $278.00 per photo.


When they run out of stars in the chapel, they will try to sell the stars in this photoshopped photo of the Dump.

Fanny doesn’t even use daddy derricks creepy wrapping paper on her gifts at the dump. Why should you?
Have they sold any this year?
Oh my fucking god! They have already sold out of some of the stars. These rabid fans are so gullible and stupid. All the 6 pointed stars at €250 a pop are gone... except for poor old Carlos of Boromeo. And the 4 pointed for the blessed virgin, at €50 a pop are also sold out. Incroyable!!!

Ah yes, the one thing the people in the comments really demanded: dining chairs! I honestly have no memory of anyone ever complaining about them. 🤷‍♀️

And agreed, cuz doesn't look happy. He seems to ignore the pink camera even more than before. I'd be surprised if he's still at the chateau when the next B&B season starts.

Stephanie Jarvis is more than just a truffle pig-she is hawking stars to pay for her bars, her foreign trips, botoxed lips, her online bids she will stop at nothing to rake in the quids. Love, life and laugher veil the ugly truth she is conning her viewers to live a life of largesse she couldn't give a shit about all the rest.

Anatomy of a Con: LieLande Adopt a Star Grift


Read what the ebeggers have written to lure viewers into parting with their money to save their historically insignificant, unlisted chapel for 3 grifting owners. Can you spot the lies?

1. Fanny did not restore all of the stained glass windows before her YouTube Ebegging began.Recall she left one stained glass window at the workshop of the restorer for over 6 years because she wanted to party, shop and travel nonstop instead of paying the bill for the restoration. Once, or grifting campaign began, the other windows were restored using tax free Patreon funds.

2. She failed to mention that one condition of the sale of the dump to her and Baghead was that she had to put a new roof on the chapel immediately. She puts a different spin on the situation in the chapel background below.

3. The third lie contained in the history below is that Michael did not become an owner of any part of the dump until the year 2019, he was not part of the group to whom the property was originally sold in 2005.

4. What future generations are going to enjoy the chapel? None of the owners of the dump have children, with the exception of Baghead , who has a step son. None of them appear to be religious, or have used the chapel for anything other than for buffet dinners, wild parties, and bondage photoshoots.The 50% chapel owner is admittedly not religious in any manner. The chapel is not open to the public, and they do not hold weddings in the chapel.

5. Caroline Gooder aka Fanny has already backed off this lie responses to comments in the cd comment section. “The paintwork restorers are specialists who have also worked at the Chateau de Versailles and are currently restoring the Catherdral of Notre Dame in Paris. “ Name the company, the names of the restorers, and what specifically they did at Versailles and Notre Dame, Fanny. Show their previous work.

6. Another €200,000 is needed to complete the restoration of the chapel and to bring it back to its former splendour to save it for future generations to enjoy. She has never given the name of the restorers, shown any estimates, etc, to back up her claim or any expenses on the chapel restoration. Why such secrecy? What are you hiding?

7. They never say how many stars are for sale, if any star will be sold to more than one individual, etc.

8. Were the structural problems that suddenly surfaced in 2022 in the chapel, a result of Stephanie Jaervis, foolishly draining the pond on the property, that’s affecting the stability of the ground underneath the chapel? Why is this info missing?

9. They forget to point out that the chapel is not considered historically significant in France and is not a listed building. It is not rare andbthe artist who painted in the chapel dud not compel France to protect the chapel as a listed building,

WHAT OTHER LIES/ MISREPRESENTATIONS DO YOU SPOT BELOW?



Collection: Adopt a Star to Save the Chapel of Saint Joseph at the Chateau de Lalande
The Chapel of Saint Joseph at Lalande was built in 1865 after the tragic death of Charles de Nadaillac, the five year-old son of the Marquis and Marquise de Nadaillac, who drowned in the chateau's ancient moat. Charles' deeply religious parents spared no expense in the building and decorating of this neo-gothic jewel. They called on the finest artisans from Toulouse, whose letters to the Marquis still remain at the chateau. Joseph Engaliere was commissioned to decorate the walls of the chapel, and he covered every square inch in lavish patterns, highlighted with real gold.

Joseph Engaliere was a well-known artist in his own lifetime, decorating many public buildings and chateaux near Toulouse, but - as he specialised in interior design - almost all of his work has been lost. The Chapel of Saint Joseph is a rare survivor teetering on the edge of disappearing forever if we don't act now.

The chapel was consecrated by the Archbishop of Bourges in 1866. It was regularly in use for the next 100 years. The local priest used to stay at the chateau once a week before giving mass in the chapel, and the Marquise used to teach catechism to the local children of the parish in the chapel. Even up to the sale of the Chateau de Lalande to Stephanie, Nic and Michael in 2005, the chapel was used by two of the current Marquis' siblings who were both priests.

The first thing Stephanie did when moving to Lalande was to re-roof the chapel, to prevent any further deterioration. Then, all of the stained glass windows were restored, one by one, whenever funds could be found.

In 2022 new problems came to light, and the chapel was deemed unstable, with its iconic star-covered ceiling at risk of collapse.
Because of the support of the patrons of The Chateau Diaries, over €200,000 has been set aside to secure the structure of the chapel and to repair the missing vault and the fresco of the Death of Saint Joseph. The paintwork restorers are specialists who have also worked at the Chateau de Versailles and are currently restoring the Catherdral of Notre Dame in Paris.

Another €200,000 is needed to complete the restoration of the chapel and to bring it back to its former splendour to save it for future generations to enjoy.
By adopting a star you will save the chapel and become part of its history forever

Joseph Engaliere paintings have sold for less than 1,000

Background of Joseph Engaliere, painter. Others works exist today. Read below for his history.



ENGLISH TRANSLATION BELOW.

Joseph ENGALIERE was a painter and decorator all his life, born in Marseille on December 8, 1829, he will practice his art in Toulouse and the surrounding area. We know very little about him, nothing about his training, no anecdotes and very little chronology about his work, he is now an anonymous, a forgotten although there are some traces of his talent. Painter decorator, he worked on marbled canvases or directly on the walls like any painter decorator still today. His brother Marius was a painter, the Mona Lisa base of the Ministry of Culture preserves three landscapes of him...

Specialist in large canvases for public places Opera, theaters, large restaurants, churches and private places, mansions, castles of the Haute Garonne.

His work becomes by destination immovable and therefore time does not preserve him.

He married Marie Louise Igouet, related to the painter Constantin Prévost, she gave him a daughter in 1859. Joseph Engalière died in 1905 in Toulouse, his widow gave the Musée des Augustins a self-portrait... which cannot be found by conservation today!

What remains of a production of a lifetime?

The large paintings made in Toulouse, such as "the apotheosis of Louis XIV" for which he was a medalist in 1858 at the Fine Arts exhibition, the large ceiling of the restaurant "la Comédie" then that of "l'Albrighi", the very large-format canvas of the well-known Hotel Tivollier, Palace of 100 rooms...

All were destroyed, disappeared...

While even precautions were taken, so the canvas of the Tivollier, representing a "bare goddess callipyge on a bed of flowers on a beautiful summer day", was dismantled in the 1960s, offered to the Augustinian Museum who refused it, it disappeared after being stored in a cellar.

He worked for the Capitol Theatre, of the many sets he executed nothing was saved not even the last one he created for the opera " Samson and Dalila" by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1892. Works for individuals are well forgotten, unknown, unrecognized and often destroyed during sales and changes of taste (ridiculous hatred of the nineteenth!)


Four large bouquets against a background of romantic landscapes, canvases that had been adorned since 1866, the majestic dining room of the Château de Castelnau-d'Estretefonds was sold in 1961 when this castle became a retirement home! The canvases reappeared in 2002 in a sale in Paris.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Historical Monuments were born thanks to the will of a few including Mérimée and Viollet le Duc, the concern for the preservation of buildings led technical painters to become the first Restorers, Joseph Engalière was one of them.

The murals of Notre Dame de la Jonquière in Lisle sur Tarn, executed between 1692 and 1702, were hidden in the Revolution by a thick brush. They were rediscovered in 1863 by Joseph Engalière and the parish priest of the time, Canon Falcon.

These paintings represent a concert of angels in costume from the end of the 18th century, singing the praises of the Virgin Mary.

The accompanying decorations of the choir's canvases are by the hand of Engalière, delicate bouquets with very mastered rhythms. Four of the seven paintings, illustrating the life of Saint Augustine, come from the former Augustinian convent of Lisle-sur-Tarn.

This is also the case with the Church "Notre Dame du Bourg" in Rabasten sur Tarn. In 1856, restoration work was undertaken under the direction of César Daly. A second turret was added on the northwest side of the bell tower to ensure the symmetry of the facade, giving it its current silhouette. Wall paintings were rediscovered during this work. They had disappeared at the end of the 16th century under layers of successive brushing. Joseph Engalière was called for the restoration, work he carried out from 1860 to 1863. The church has been classified as a historical monument since 1899.

It is behind the 17th century woodwork decor of the church of Notre Dame du Taur in Toulouse that a mural was discovered on April 23, 1872 on the occasion of the renovation of the church. The subject refers to Joseph's origins and recalls Jacob's genealogy in thirty-eight figures. They each hold a phylacteria and are distributed over two superimposed registers. The whole is bordered by a vegetable frieze of vine leaves, which gives a framework to the composition. Kind of tapestry in "trompe-l'oeil". (introduction-detail photo JM Stouffs))

Viollet-le-Duc who, while recognizing the interest of the paintings, "died not believe that it was possible to preserve or restore them" Joseph Engalière in 1874, therefore copied them on a canvas currently preserved in the reserves of the Musée des Augustins, "with a kind of print that guarantees the fidelity of the copy". This (punique,) process consists, after modeling it, of drilling the drawing of small holes through which it is reproduced by depositing pigment on the canvas. The murals were saved later, they are still visible today but not the reproduction of 6.33 m long by 2.17 m high of Joseh Engalière, a piece of choice for the new Museum of French Monuments!

The Gospel Harmony group sings in Zulu, French, Creole and English in the choir of the church of Saint Jory

The vaults and decoration of the choir of the church of Saint Jory (31) were made around 1865, a superb church full of the magnificences of the century, the choir presents an interesting series of large-format canvases that are presented in a decorative painting case executed by an anonymous man named J. Engalière!

Of the 5 different constellations that you can buy a 6 pointed star in for £178 4 of them are all sold out and the are only stars left are in the constellation of Saint Charles Borromeo. How much money has this scam already raised for the scheming bitch. If those brainless patreons and anyone else who has bought a star just gave some thought to what is happening in this world, all of this money could have gone towards humanitarian aid.
I am sure that the 25,000 children in Palestine who have become orphans since October 2023 would have benefited in some way from these fools subscriptions. Instead the evil, lying bitch and her smug little twat of a companion will spend, spend, spend and it will not be on the restoration of the useless chapel.
No, they've got to cough up for the rest of the Olivia DeHaviland auctions purchases they've made.

If these nutters had been asked to donate 200 for Cancer Research they'd be horrified.

The final missing stained glass window...............will that be for Saint Jarvis Patron Saint of Grifters

I wouldn't be surprised if one or both have a serious drinking problem. I suspect the dump is a safe space for them to engage in all day drinking without the fear of criticism or objection from the Lalande enablers.
Since I come from a middle eastern background, I sometimes don’t know if things look weird to me because of my different culture, or if they are just weird!

It seems to me that almost everyone at the shatto is always either drinking, or adding booze to their food in one form or another. Is it normal? Do people have drinks everyday of their lives and get giggly and excited at the sight of a bottle of wine or champagn?

Sorry but I still think it's bullshit why the heating was halted. I can understand Aumary being upset but he doesn't have to worry about next months wages does he, gets his cheque regardless.

From Nathan's FB page they've continued working, self employed, they have no choice plus Nathan has two other guys working for him they have to be paid. Fanny's blinkered fans believe every piece of trite that spews from her gob, no one's ever got the balls to cross question her.

What the fuck is Aumary building, a bunker! Mr Spratt has just said even though there will be the fireproof room (it does have to be quite solid as that is a commercial boiler system) for the boiler that whole barn MUST be kept clear as regulations state and for insurance reasons.

Still not had their inspection then....mmmmm:unsure: jury's still out on that one.

This whole heating installation has become a farce, stalling for time because that cow is as tight as a gnatts chuff.

What a delightful place to work when it's that cold and your employer asks how you are, you say cold and their only reply is 'here I've bought you hand warmers'. Laughable.

Did the curtains end up being measured or are they going back to the depths of whence they came? Just for show was it?

Christ did Snorts actually build up a sweat and move those chairs to the attic where they'll never see the light of day again.

At least Wendy sent a nice dog bed for Molly, pity no one else could be arsed. Goes to show just how friggin cold it is there. She's mentioned on Brendas page just how concerned she was for the poor dog.

A Christmas cracker for Ruby, she's never given a shit before. Maybe somewhere nice and cosy for him would be more beneficial.

Exhausted after a day of doing fuck all other than put up a tree, and poncing about with porcelaine...........and the fans go wild for it.

She says Hello Cuz . . . he ignores her, keeps his back to her and continues opening the doors. I love it.

Where's that lazy shit Philip when the chairs need to be unloaded?

Amaury doesn't give Potts any eye contact.

So . . . if the chapel restorers want hot chocolate they have to go up to the kitchen and ask for it.
We always ask tradesmen if they would like tea, coffee, water and always take it out to them . . . they don't have to ask.

Ick, Philip and Stephanie embracing in the doorway after Philip had picked up Gerry from where ever.

What are they hiding . . . blurred labels on the chair packing . . . another job for @Lochness Monster.
The staged embrace was because she just had sex with Potty. SJ was making Potty his favorite pie, like she didn’t know. Snorty said I love you meaning I know you were with Potty & I was with old man John now let’s sell some stars & keep this money train going.

Asking for a friend......
How do you know which star is yours? Will it be emblazoned with your name?
She goes on about saving the chapel but who is it being saved for? The vast majority of star adopters will never see the chapel or their stars. It will only be those who can travel to France and stay in the B & B who will see it. It will never be open to the public; it is not a historic building. It is being saved purely for a wealthy woman who has no issue to whom she will pass it on. Why would anyone do that? I used to live in a grade 2 listed building from the early 1800s that had serious damp issues, and earlier on in an Edwardian house with dry rot. Why didn't I plea for those buildings to be saved for the future? I could have asked strangers to adopt a brick or a piece of new plaster! Instead of which, I lost thousands. She is conning those fans out of their money. The place is decorative but it is not historic and does not warrant strangers' contributions; it will never be seen by the public. Have those fans never seen how she has disrespected It in the past, despite her pretence of being respectful now? It will just serve as a decorative backdrop to Fanny's vlogs and, no doubt, a lot of the money will finance her travels and hedonistic lifestyle. Also, what's the betting that she, Potty and PJ will make an enormous mess of the recording of all the names?
Poor Sebastian did not welcome her appearing in the work area. It's exactly what she did to Ian. She should leave them in peace to get on with the job and she is a threat to their safety. Does she think that dedicating stars to MM, etc., absolves her from any negative effects to which she may have contributed?

Attention Patrons of Stephanie Jarvis I have found another YouTube channel that is much more deserving than Your current Patronage. A channel you will see where your money goes to help the youth of today. Yes Chateau la Grifferai. Rob and Leslie. So that is two channels with The Moons that you will see bang for your bucks. Unlike at chateau la Lande where for years now no progress has been made. Just shopping and travelling. Who wants to fund that when you can make a difference to real people and animals who need it. Wake up and spend your money wisely.
Not being funny but people shouldn’t fund ‘anyone’s’ lifestyle , more worthy or not .
If you can’t afford it through your own hard graft and savings don’t attempt it and beg for help
