In their defense, I got exactly what I wanted online and shipped to France (prior to Brexit, I must add, so a while ago !) without exorbitant shipping costs. It was only the onetime and I don't think I've wandered back there. And the search I did was for the marque and they suggested Dunelm. Sorry, too much information I have never experienced their stores.

Love Bundt cake! Although, Stephanie was just following a recipe and dumping it in a mixer. There is no shame in that BUT no points from me and it was definitely not flog worthy. Really, the only vlog worthy part of that was removing it from the Bundt pan. It was desperately in need of a glaze to finish it. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever had a Bundt cake without a glaze. Marie did a good job overall. I especially thought the salad was plated nicely. I didn't like the broccoli on the plate. I love roasted broccoli but thought it looked pedestrian but other than that good effort.

I loved we read on TL several postings lately noting the absence of any real friends at LaLande. And as if by magic a Chateau friends swap has produced needed content. Who was the random extra couple btw?

Proof that Snorts records nothing on that clipboard

On the occasions I've been dragged into a store like that I've always felt faint and panicky and had to leave, I'm not elitist, I think it's the depressing domesticity of it all.
Himself is like that in IKEA. I try to avoid taking him and go with the boy and we usually have a real laugh misbehaving! However, when himself tags along it's generally awkward and not fun at all. Trying to ensure himself gets through the whole experience without too much stress.

When searching for large household choices I generally do it on my own then take himself for the final approval and PAYMENT

The hallway paper is dreadful too.

I feel tattle should do a take over and burn the furniture and curtains, do a flash mob redecorate and style up each room so that it looks great.Unfortunately her patrons think it looks marvellous and Snorts is such a designer and our efforts would be wasted.
The curtains were not hung in Bon mamas room were they?
I wonder why Amoury smokes in the kitchen. Is he wearing eyeliner. Oh know, don’t tell me he is dresssing up with Snorts.
