Was just thinking about their darling little trip to Harrods where they sought out all things bling and tried to make out Royal Copenhagen is budget china. Surely one of the most famous areas of Harrods is the food hall. fan's viewers would have found that more fascinating. Have you all noticed she keeps using American terms like "Liquor store" what English person would ever say that? I am also once again shocked by their ignorance and selfishness, imagine taking a pulled pork and onion "SARNDWITCH" (that pronunciation is so grating) on public transport. Second hand food odours are ghastly. It once again shows how none you she is no manners. It is not as if they don't have time to sit and eat in a civilised fashion.
My mother was very strict about eating out of doors in public places, picnics aside. So it has been ingrained in me since birth to not to. I do find it deeply offensive to see people eating take away food, of any type, while walking along, on public transport etc. Find a bench in a park (it's not like London is short on parks) and make it an impromptu picnic. Despicable fan and her appalling sidekick Thrush are so uncouth and well, despicable.

The Funky Gibbon's (for those of you who remember The Goodies) New Years Message to her crazies. Notice no mention of Dan & Cat as an item, must be one of her 'off limits' topics.

Here we are 1 week into the new year, hard to believe.
Stephanie & Dan will be easing back into their routines, new projects on the horizon, existing ones to finish.
It will be slightly quiet at Lalande for the 1st weeks of the year, with regular much enjoyed contributors badly missed, Maria, Pavlina & Jared who are all exploring new journeys & opportunities in their lives.

Percy Attfield is continuing his recovery in South Africa with Isabelle Jarvis, hopefully they will be able to visit Lalande in the warmer months.
Stephen & Chantal have moved south to embrace an exciting new chapter in their new lives, having relocated from the UK & purchased a new property...not forgetting wedding plans...

Amaury will be kept busy at Lalande moving through his never ending 'To Do' list.....spending his evenings with Natalia as they plan their future together & discuss wedding plans.

Gerry Grady is as busy as ever..which he loves..working with & meeting the public, providing a taxi service to his local community & client base. Michael Potts will be returning to the F1 circuit whilst embracing his wild life & cityscape photography.

Anton is getting so grown up.....

Annalise will be on stylist duties keeping the team picture perfect...and spoiling us with glimpses of the boys, who are also getting big!
Dana Cookbook continues to grow her You Tube channel & has lots of plans for its future, remember to subscribe.

The unsung heroes of Lalande, Dave & Mary Poppins who keep everything ship shape & shinning.will be flat out soon with spring cleaning, preparing the chateau for a new season of guests.

The gardens & grounds of the estate continue to be transformed & maintained by Kirsty Giles & Ombeline, Nick & Cameron plus Davy. I can't wait to see the plantings flourishing & whats in store for the gazebos.These two teams achieved so much this year..animal husbandry..food..flowers..firewood..timber..take a bow you deserve it!

Then we had the pitter patter of tiny paws...the arrival of Lancelot...enough said there, the wee rascal...he is going to need some tough love to get the potty training & walking to the top of his his agenda lol...just as well he isn't a labrador Philip"s back would be broke getting him into a bag never mind carrying it lol!

For all the happy events through out the last year, there has been a bounty of sadness.

Ian the plasterer, Makotso & the contractor who all very sadly passed away, May their souls rest in peace.
Each of us will have had our favourite high points & low points ( Excluding the sad deaths).
For me the highest point was the fundraising for the chapel, I couldn't believe the volume of support & generosity...
My lowest point....I miss Jared & Pavlina's contribution so much...from crafting...florals...photography....their creation of fairytales. They for me were the Ying & Yang of Lalande....there is a consolation, we will get to follow their new journey's...filled with creativity...fantasy & love....
Share your most memorable moments from Lalande during 2023 with us below.

:sick: 🤦‍♀️
A few thoughts for the Gibbon, first Bren, learn to spell the casts names. Especially those of the dead. Especially the two your Goddess is directly responsible for. It’s Mmakhotso, not Makotso. The contractor who you and your beloved fan refuse to name was Christophe. Second, you will have to stop reading here for ideas or the tattle menopausal hags and poisonous trolls will be forced to charge you for ideas. Whatever could I mean BrenBren?!? Why, you’ve addressed every, single, point, question or supposition of threads posted here in 2024! Darlin’ you are a creative void, not an original thought in your vapid, grifting head. And lastly, girl you are evil. No two ways about it. Not in a fun or profitable way either. You are a low class, low rent, pitiful excuse for a human being. You are as thick as manure but half as useful. As my much adored nanny would’ve said, may the lamb of God stir his hoof through the roof of Heaven and kick you in the a down to Hell.

You and me both. My Mum used to say "only hookers eat on the street" she once caught me eating an apple on the street and went nuts-she wasn't strict and really laid back on most things but wouldn't tolerate this kind of behaviour. fan is ill bred and doesn't know about standards and manners she is so ignorant and so entitled she wouldn't consider for a moment how unacceptable this behaviour is.

I enjoy watching The Moons and their Legacy of Legends.

Mommy Moon has started to include clips from followers of their magical moments. Latest vlog shows a fan "Hali" made a donation for a 5 star chapel "rip off" of fan's on behalf of the "magic Moons family, friends and The Legends" (at the 6:23 mark).

I wish Hali would have donated her money directly to The Moons towards the care of their horses. A fool born every minute.

The Chapel is a vanity project and to ensure maximum grifting. I ask you who spends that kind of money when their house is falling down. The pretension "the estate". Makes you laugh doesn't it. The Smug's Chateau is now probably worth 4 x fan's and is a realistic size to live in and also has business potential with the out buildings. fan should have invested in future business potential and making the place structurally sound. The Smug's don't shop until they need something and have even managed to sell out of one of their candle flavours. fan bought La Lande because it is big and it was cheap pure and simple.

I just do not know how they have the hide of crying poor - buy a star for the Chapel , give us $$ for the falling down castle , fund the pond , please buy some plants for the dead garden , Mummy's 🦇 vegie garden reno , courtyard sticks etc and then blatantly fly to expensive holidays, buy expensive china , dog things all in front of the people who they are wanting their money and bloody spending it too!
Its all on show ! o_O
I cannot understand how people look at this behaviour and still give them money!!! o_O
fan loves to get gifts and I really feel she will bring back her Gift Grab - she adored it as it was all about her and that reading of letters etc - feed her Narc personality so well !
Snorts has become more and more smarmy as the days roll on .
He encourages her to shop and drink . When they walked past the Bridal shop fan commented about not needing that shop and he mentioned some thing ( I could not make it out ) but fan ignored it.
Smirk Boy wants to marry her ...... that way he has his paws well and truly on her money and property.
Lets face it - he never wants to get a job and he has tried to hint at it before and it fell on fan's deaf ears.
fan does not want to marry him but he is trying ! I do think that was part of his plan on going to LaLaLande.
Its not Romance - its Finance !! ;)

Recall all her other lies about “ gifts” Snorts has allegedly purchased for her with his allowance. The Austrian couture gown, the Louis Vuitton dog carrier, the chicken tapestry drawing, etc. She is a con artist. Snorts cannot pay for anything. He has no money and freeloads off the grift.

What other presents can you recall Snorts buying for fan?

It’s official. Stephanie is Peter Pan’s sister, Petronella, a child who never grew up.

According to SJ, she has never lost the thrill of travelling under the Channel that she remembers from when she was a little girl. The Chunnel opened in 1994. Stephanie was born in 1975.

Not sure when the first vehicle train was launched but it must have been around the same time as the Eurostar.
I have proof of the date because I was there. 😂 My ex and myself between the French and British trains.

Do you remember one of the grifts at first was buying Mummy a lawnmower-the notion that Percy, Mummy and fan couldn't afford a lawn mower is so laughable. It all goes back to if you can't afford the property and renovations you shouldn't buy the house. The fans are shallow and vapid too, they don't want to see, they want to be friends with Stephanie and believe they are. They all gush and pretend to be sweet just like their botoxed leader. I don't dislike Snorts as much as fan, but he truly is ridiculous and obviously has an ulterior motive little rit.

As we are talking about food, did anyone notice any preserves made during the summer season? They had a glut of zucchini-relish, they had a glut of beetroot-saurerkraut or relish. You can't tell me there weren't many wild blackberry bushes which were unsprayed in that area and everyone should have been sent out with a bucket to pick them- blackberry jam, frozen for crumbles. Local quinces-jelly. Local tomatoes, frozen or sauced when they are cheap. Cheap apples cooked and frozen...... All of these beautiful preserves to add to the cheese platters, home-made jam for the guests breakfast.

If Maree was preparing for the main meals, Pav and Marie or whoever could have easily organised and cooked these products in between the main cooking of the day/evening. They could have set up a preserving station in one of the apartments which has a stove top.

Mangoes- I live in mango territory. Because I can plan ahead and like home-made produce;) I freeze enough containers for a year of smoothies, cakes and puddings. I make mango and ginger jam to last a year(delicious with blue cheese) and eat them fresh until the juice runs down my chin!
I have a friend who has a mango tree and last year I made an AMAZING mango gelato/ice cream. It was super simple - purée the mango and mix with coconut milk and put it in the ice cream maker . No added sugar, no cooking, it was super simple, fresh and healthy!!!

Bus drivers generally won't allow passengers to bring food onboard in my experience.

Mangos that reach ireland are as hard as turnips (swedes in GB speak), they don't ripen nicely just go brown and veiny inside.

Oh yes...... the lawnmower that poor , poor Mummy 🦇 could not use as it was broken and then bingo - a New One!!! Oh the things you forget !
As time goes on Just Grift Wood I am finding that I intensely dislike the Squirrel but I really hate fan..... he is getting up there on the level spot for me.
The both deserve each other !

To be honest it is only the bare faced lies and loathing that keep me tuning in. It goes against everything I was brought up to believe in and it is evident that fan's upbringing has a lot to be desired. If I was doing what fan does my parents and friends would be having a stern word. It is so wrong preying on the lonely and bereft to make yet more money. Snorts is odious in the extreme, but he is young, not terribly bright and one of life's losers so part of me pities the poor camel toed freak, this will not end well for him. When she first started taking him everywhere I wondered why as he lacks charm, he is not funny and he is a real chinless, liver lipped wonder and not likeable.

Thanks @tuffiti you're so kind. Just begging for gifts and trying to show they are frugal because they pay less than things cost in Harrods. They are such disingenuous mats
They clearly feel worried that patrons may be waking up to just how much money they spend so they have both decided to say how cheaply they get things on internet auctions and at brocantes. It's clearly all lies. They are so naive if they don't realise that it's patently obvious what they are doing, trying to hide their manic acquisitiveness. However, their fans are so blind, they won't see through it.

Some nutter called Hilly bought a star in the name of The Moons for their Legend charity.
Why not support The Legends directly. How is a stupid star in a chapel going to help the horses. 🤯
