I believe he stays there permanently and has no other hometo call his own. For whatever reason this might be. Probably he is "between two jobs". In between he visits his uncle.

So if he stays there permanently , what was his reason for saying he had a legal and valid reason for being there ?

& those beautiful children in the gardeners vlogs!

Re someone’s post about his uncle yesterday being a Thai boxing champion? Does anyone know his last name ? I tried to google him yesterday but can’t find anything, his fish farm details are mystery too & why Ryan lives with them & Billy? So many mysteries ?

Found this on Facebook, there’s more too. Billy could do some vlogs on horses. Would be far more interesting to watch

So Gwendoline fell for a knight in shining armour and they bought a fairy tale castle, only for the wicked robber trotters to move in.

Forget Ernest. I want more of sulky niece bombing the vlogs with her death stare.

I’m still shocked she’s only 11 as she looks much older. We never see her mum or the other brother in the vlogs but I read somewhere her mum works (yes works!!!) in Paris, not sure how true that is? The niece is absolutely at her best bombing the live chat with Stephanie & Michael (can’t remember when it was but it’s worth a watch) the episode when one of the q&a was is Ryan Michaels partner they have now learnt not to read & answer all the questions!

Calvignac

The name's is Lee Miller. You can find their gîte on Google. Lake Bernie (from memory, something like that).

La Brocanteuse

Her mother is Sadie Petherick. I checked out her Facebook page. All she seems to work at is perfecting her pout. She looks a waste of space and I actually feel sorry for Olivia. An earlier picture of Olivia as a younger girl shows her looking just as miserable. I think the other brother is disabled...

Sorry , but very uncomfortable talking about an 11year old . Don’t think that’s fair on her. She was probably shy or embarrassed .

Fair play, Suzigoggs. I had no idea she was so young. But why do they include her in the vlogs? Easy enough to edit her out.

I agree & they shouldn’t show any of the children on the vlogs. I think they do it to make more people watch which is not good as these children don’t have a choice.

@Jeeves Ma Petherick, truth stranger than fiction - she might just be joking..or not.
Billy as Horseguard features strongly in his mum's FB and no wonder being so snobby but he really looks amazing on guard duty in full uniform.He was also a competition showjumper so why has this part of his life disappeared, and all we see Is a bit of a dullard vaguely trying to decipher his brocantes finds " really old, Gothic or maybe Louis .." There's loads of scope for keeping horses and even join a local Hunt. You who know Calvignac, do they have fox or boar hunts in that part of France?
@Takeaway : I heard Ryan talking with Lee & he said (nearly sure) in 1993 he had been Thai martial arts champion, in London - probably the origin of having Thai wife & living there.
These back stories are much more intriguing than their present lives. Now Ryan, what was he in a past life?

So younger and more successful Billy is the golden boy. Might explain Michael's chip on his shoulder.

Well, he is spawn of Boycie, so probably secondhand car salesman is in his genes.

I would say that Mayenne is full of foxes and wild boars sure. Lots of forests around and hunting organisations.
But for that....you must be part of the local life which I don't think they are.

I couldn't find anything on uncle Lee's former career. At least he's not a champion, complete lists are available. That doesn't mean he isn't a champion in Ryan's eyes.

Wow, thank you. That video is stunning & there’s a photo of uncle lee in the T&Cs now to discover his boxing career

A way back, there was some speculation that the Trotters were from Traveller stock. Sounds as if Ma was!

Now there is a surprise...not. I am sorry, but is it not obvious that at least Sherrie is of travelling stock? If not, they do a good job of cultural appropriation, the whole family!
