Seems like a perfect trip to bring him along too.I see Ratso has not joined them on their latest jaunt across Europe…..I bet he doesn’t even know who his owner is, the poor thing
Just watched the patreon vlog....I love how Marie Baghead completely ignore Snorts when he talks. I noticed in SA and it continues in Brussels. She can't be bothered to look at him directly when he's mumbling some attempt at a pithy or humorous quip. Reminds me of Mr. Collins talking to Lady Catherine De Bourgh.

There's no saving it, my brother had the same type of hair and he just shaved the whole lot off and was considerably younger than him when he did it. It looked so much better.
I'm guessing she will do well. The class content is interesting, and Anna is very articulate.
I sold a class to Corsica, plus receive a percentage each time a new student signs up.
She might want to look into it.
It's a great side hustle.
I've noticed shopaholism and literally warehouses full of tragic French granny tat is something these chateau restorers have in common. Terry at Lalacelle seriously has a universe of merde stashed away in his outbuildings, and they regularly feature themselves shopping at tragic French granny tat brocantes. I realize there are treasures there but I've only seen one chateau I thought was nicely furnished from them -- the Brit antique dealer and textiles expert wife with the alleged compagnons du devoir "chateau" or maison de maitre Fanny visited some time ago.
Although when the wife bragged, with real lust in her voice, to Fan she was fingering Elton Johns' rejected dining room draperies from some fancy draper, who failed to meet Sir Elton's expectations, I have to say I threw up a little in my mouth.
Have you tried Biosilk? It's very expensive here in Canada but not in the US Amazon productI'm waaay behind on CD vids but, wisely, up to date with you lot.(I think -- but perhaps it's been said) isn't that horrid bedroom set the one that Natty looked so shocked about when it was excitedly dragged home years ago, ready for her 'apartment' ?
DERAIL: Help Please! after 4 months of Florida's humidity, my hair looks like Selmar's !!!! Has anyone tried hair masks, treatments etc? Frizz ease etc have achieved nothing. Any advice happily received. X
I believe she edited out the piled up Star money they were taking to Brussels for shopping. No room for poor abandoned Ratso.
(Guter Stoff! 
)Two people very close to me spent a lot of their lives in Brussels. and I'd give an arm and a leg to understand its charm. The only Belgians I ever met were in Africa during the days of the Belgian Congo. Yikes.
Ah, my wish is my command. Love those intarnets.

George and Sarah at Chateau de Bruges. I like their chateau and interiors and they are good business people. The weddings look lovely
Ratso is disgusted with his owners. He went out and left a message for them.

They both totally wanted to be on the telly
This shopaholism (love that term!) is everywhere now in many of the vlogs I watch. Many are now showing themselves going to brocantes, flea markets, antique shops, etc. and if they aren't on YouTube, they're doing it on Instagram. For me, someone who's done this for years as I accompanied my husband (who is a fairly experienced and well respected picker on the east coast - his hobby turned side hustle out of necessity because if we kept everything he found, our home would have looked like we were hoarders!), I find it somewhat boring. At a certain point, it's interesting to see other areas of the world and hear what prices are, but I can only watch so much of the furniture stuff. These people NEVER reupholster anything, which I find a little nasty.
Speaking of nasty......You all know I love 'Dreaming of a Chateau', but it put me right off seeing Alla dance and ooh and aah over a La Cornue cooker she bought for $900 that she said had dried chicken skin still attached to it - I think on the outside!! The grease in and on that thing was unbelievable! Alla said Sergie couldn't find the model online as they were driving to pick it up and all I could think about was that woman from "Chateau Chronicles" and the French cooker she bought inexpensively that was missing something important (can't remember what it was or even the company - I think Lacanche?) and when she called the manufacturer, the range had been discontinued and she couldn't get parts for it any longer, so was out a lot of money.
Marie is walking Ratso, each time she touches a flower Ratso races to bite it.
Does she know vinca/ periwinkle is toxic to dogs?

Shrek just demonstrated how outdated Lino cutting by hand is. A machine can do it.
Me too ! I went with my daughters to a cooking demonstration by Deb Perlman a couple of months ago, She was lovely. Her food is so tempting! Unlike Marie’s ….hers looks like slop.
Because it's being done properly with insulation
So no vlog today... lame excuses since she wanted to show the pergola that was filmed for Channel 4 - so this vlog could have been ready for a year. Apparently she's running out of content - no Mariecam, no Nattycam, no GoPro on the lawnmower... how about a Ratsocam?
I can't see evidence of repointing on the wall of the marquis' apartment. The repointing below the terrace was done by the ancient masonry guys, the architect was to negotiate their re-doing it to her standard, and nothing has happened in years there that I know of.
