My favorite part of Easter growing up was planning and sewing my Sunday mass outfit, including of course, an Easter bonnet! It was the only time I remember wearing yellow. I do wish women would wear beautiful hats again, not hats inspired by menswear. Something more along the lines of my avatar's floral confection! 🤣 👒 I love the Easter parade scene from Holiday Inn. Corny, absolutely!

Wow...imagine saying in your vlog that you can't have your regular Easter party because........."even though we made a big deal about it on our vlogs at the time, the truth is it is just another unfinished project and we have no heat!"

Honestly, I call bullshit on her excuse. This party would have had to have been planned weeks in advance, at a time when she couldn't have known the weather would be cold and rainy. She never intended to have this party. She couldn't have had this party because she has no room adn the whole place is unsafe at this point.
But will it be any different next year?... Not a chance in hell.

A building site would confer there is some build
Simply a walk down Covid lane when it was so fun and cozy to be quarantined. Also because there is no heating, but no heating has never stopped Fanny before.

Also, why didn’t Fanny set up the damn embroidery machine on Natti’s desk - it’s not like Natti is going to use it (ever again).
She has to be the center of attention... She could set it up in her own office but then nobody could coo over her..

The whole adult Easter egg hunt and party at LaLande is so ridiculous! Once again, it showcases Fanny's immaturity and childishness. Why not sponsor an egg hunt for the village children? Of course, it would need to be held somewhere in the village, not at The Dump. Great content and community building. Oh, that's right, Fan doesn't know or care about community building other than her own entourage of brown nosers. 💩 🤡

Interesting. It's the "Richmond way" to get things done. Is this a snipe at Stephanie, who NEVER gets things done?
If you click on where it says "bathroom", you can see Nati speaking and then on to watch Amaury and his mom do some work.

Argh! No. MaxMara is one of my go to brands. God that's so unfair.
Tbh I didn't like it on the model either...

I think Marie is stupid. Whether or not she has a developmental problem I can only speculate. But I can tell from watching her that she is dead stupid. I’d rather be anything but stupid.
I don't think any of them can see further than the nose on their faces... there is no awareness of what's going on around them, they each perform when the camera is rolling, Marie would rather be all cheffie and risk losing a finger with a manual Mandoline because each slice has to be equal in proportion. She's giggling as Lancelot is worrying the sheep which would only take a turn in direction for him to be trampled. Marie looked like she had her nose put out of joint when Marie (wife of baghead) took over the kitchen to make the lamb, Antoinne was dragged in under the pretence of having a latte. I'm not sure what Sabina brings to the party, I don't get her at all. What's with all the chocolate mouldings and embroidery when you have guests, who when they arrive have to start rearranging their accomodation in order to be warm.

She made me laugh about wanting the manual Mandolin said something like 'professional hands' blow your own trumpet why don't you. Yes she wasn't happy with Marie Baghead cooking, I would have thought great, a night off.

Sabina = odd

They're all out to lunch

How lovely to see him...... I think he lived in Camberwell for some time but ended up in Sydney. So his skin was way better than Fanny's ! :love:
I did go to one of his concerts many many years ago ....... No ... not near the front ! :ROFLMAO:
As you know - if you are up in the front he will pick on you !
Gladdies were thrown in the end .
He was one of a kind !
He grew up in Camberwell and went to Camberwell Boys Grammar.
My husband's uncle was at Melbourne Uni with him.

yeah, it was sort of 15 minutes of nothing. As I mentioned before, I always fast forward through the chapel stuff. Not that I'm not interested in that sort of thing, but I'm just not that interested in her particular chapel and all the lies she tells surrounding it. I might care about the people working on her chapel, but the one time I saw her talking to them - in French and with subtitles - it was such inane conversation, I couldn't watch any more moving forward. It's demeaning to those guys and what they do and I'm disappointed that they indulge her with this mindless patter for a vlog.

Everyone, even well skilled tradesmen, want their 15 minutes of fame, it seems.
Her content is so stale.

FRK “you can’t tell me what to do“ is definitely territorial about the kitchen and cooking at the Dump. She was unhappy when Maria was cooking instead of her this past fall and when Baghead’s Marie was cooking lamb. Lucky for Marie that ✋🏻man hands ✋🏻Stephanie was at her side ” helping” her scrape dough off the cooking pot because it is unlikely Baghead’s short little arms and hands could have even reached the pot on the range and it would be dangerous for his paper bag clad head to be so close to the oven.

Fanny’s ginormous man hands helped in this situation, it is a LieLande Easter miracle! Baghead was also preoccupied mapping out where to hide the grand prize for Easter egg hunt on Sunday and texting Fanny the location so she could be guaranteed to win the hunt ( as is the tradition at every Dump Easter) while also playing playstation computer games in the marquis suite.

@jourdainjardin846 it just seems sometimes Marie slightly over rides Steph since she has been on her course. I agree she is excellent in what she does but she must have respect for her employer

Probably not getting paid anything, only bed and board

@Jezz1946 The cooking course was not cheap and she just bought a car. In my opinion she is paid staff. During her previous stay in Lalande, she was given a white van that she sold before going to England

Maire is the B&B chef/flower creator for the season. She already has equipment bought, including vases, glasses etc for the season. The garden produce and the menus for the season are already being planned. She did several seasons before Maria, and as it is her territory, Chef has the final word. Everyone is also friends so don't worry

Rewatching the old early vlogs.. so much more entertaining. Michael Petherick days were great fun!

Michael is over 5 hours away and doesn't drive. He is very busy right now working on the family Chateau. I wish he would vlog more, but material for the Chateau is taking a lot of time to find, like the subway tiles

I'm a bit new to this channel. So is this place for guests to stay in, like a B&B ? Or it's their home and have all of those employees to help out?

Google Stay at Chateau de La Lalande for the booking link
Yeah, @LillyEve1 google stay at Chateau de La Lande. But be warned, if you are not a patron you can't stay. Nor can you stay unless you are a high tier patron willing to shower Despicable fanny with gifts. And, you will be thoroughly vetted. So even if you pass the above criteria you still may not be allowed to stay. You will require a well padded bank account to pay for your overpriced stay. And last, but by no means least, either wear blinkers or opaque glasses and be sure to take penicillin and an epi-pen. Bon voyage.

In our part of the world, Easter egg hunts have been organized (in some places) only in the last few years, so I don't know anything about that or the sweets from the hunt. The main fun is coloring Easter eggs. Here, children receive Easter gifts, as they do for Christmas, and the gifts are brought by the Easter bunny.

(Photos are borrowed from the internet because I'm not an influencer so I don't have my own.)
Happy Easter, Tea. I thought it was Fezziwig of whom it was said, he knew how to keep Christmas well. Turns out it was Scrooge himself.
If anyone knows how to keep Easter well, it is you.
God bless us, every one.

Gosh someone sends them perfectly nice blue linen napkins and she buggers them up with her pathetic bunnies she is so ungrateful. Marie comes to stay and she is cooking, Stephanie. It takes two of them to watch the machine. A whole Chateau and they have no work room because it is all a building site. I would be embarrassed if I was Steph to show how little I do.
Yes, those WERE nice napkins and now they're unusable.
