The Chateau Diaries #305 2 containers full of junk and off to the brocante to buy more. Weeee!

Did anyone else think Grant was looking at Fanny rather ‘wistfully’

Yes,he is thinking which box he will use to put her in and then throw her from the attic into one of the damp rusting containers .
Was Fanny singing at Cyril’s Spring drunkenness concert??.

Another idea for the shopaholic duo running brocunt retreats!

 

[Pyke]

This is from 2010 but so much could be said of CHMN, imagine Alex P going there !

 

[MRShavershamsdress]

I wonder who your grandmother was?
Duchess of Argyll made frequent visits to her friends who are god parents to my husband. He met her , quite the gossip . I think she would be on Tattle!,

She would definitely have her own thread!

 

[mrsp67]

Merci . . . I hoped a Tattler would screenshot it. She is possibly one of Andee's friends. Actually, she was shown so fleetingly I didn't know if it was a man or woman. Those short hair cuts can rob women of their femininity.

I remember reading Howard Hughes did exactly that so looked him up.

'Infamous billionaire Howard Hughes spent most of his bizarre life living in luxury hotels. He would move this whole staff from one hotel to another, in locations ranging from Beverly Hills and London, England to Boston and Vancouver, Canada until he made a permanent move to Las Vegas in 1966.'

Our mother always wanted to live in a hotel. She only made it to 57 so she didn’t get a chance to live the end of her life in a hotel, but I have read about many people choosing to live in cruise ships for their retirement.

Cool, damage control is back at tattle !!

Presumably the people who own it wanted it to be driven to keep it maintained, a car lying unused and immobile will end up with flat tyres and battery, rust, etc

I am pretty sure they do own it. If I owned an expensive car like that, I would not want people putting thousands of miles on it, plus all the wear and tear. They drive it all over Europe, plus tante and tonton drive it too. The insurance would be crazy expensive loaning out your car to other people.

@KathyRichards-tr9zx I'm assuming they expected to be away for an extended period, but didn't take the car with them because, you know, Brexit. Are you exaggerating perhaps, with regards to the amount it's driven, to prove something for which you have, in fact, no proof? I'm sure if they'd bought it off the owners, they'd say so. What do you think they stand to gain by pretending otherwise?

Wtf does "you know, Brexit" mean? You can still drive French cars in the UK and UK cars in France you know. And seriously... "I'm sure if they'd bought it off the owners, they'd say so". Has this @LaReynedEpee been watching the same Despicable fanny as everyone else? I really didn't think that they could actually get any more delusional. But, there you go, I have been proved wrong.

 

[HalcyonOrganic]

I mean funny, no social media posts from the lalande crew in over a week, and now that

No need for exaggeration, how many times has Stephanie vlogging herself driving the automobile, and how many times has she stated her destination?
Paraphrasing your own words La Reyne d'Epee; What do you stand to gain by pretending otherwise? . Or Why defend the indefensible?

 

[Beachgirl]

She would definitely have her own thread!

Was she of the headless man photo scandal

 

[C'est moi]

Waddup, Yentas! Long time no see. Since I got back from the frontlines, the injury, and recovery, my dad decided to hand over a lot of responsibilities to me lately, and my wife has been crazy busy with our soon-to-be one-year-old toddler that we have been unable to Tattle with you all. It looks like nothing much has changed with our favorite Chateau hag and her gay-in-waiting. No real work has been done in Lalande for quite some time. Even the annual spring decluttering, as expected, only to make some space for even more clutter. When are they getting married? Has Stephanie altered her will to include PhiPhi yet? We know that's the only thing Lord Nostrils and his gay son are waiting for.

Anyhoo, my wife and I were +1&2 of two friends who were invited to a small garden party. My Anglophile wife from the Republic of Texas was completely overawed by the presence of royalty (I admit, so was I). It was our first time visiting the palace as non-tourists, and gave us a lot of memories to talk about with our future grandkids!

Keep on tattling!

So lovely to hear from you @Marquis de Potpourri Good to know you are well and recovered(ing). Our very best wishes to the Marquise de Potpourri and le petit Potpourri. Hob-knobbing with those royals... how about that.

Comme on dit... tout change mais tout reste pareil!

That’s the one. Makes Stephanie’s shenanigans look rather tame!

 

[Gertrude Maud]

I don’t think it was all the same day and cynical me doesn’t believe those are Snorty’s parents, but friends of Andie’s. More timey-wimey from Fanny and I don’t trust any of her timelines.

May 1, when they visited Chateau Chambord Chateau was a Wednesday. The drive to Chambord from the HMN is 2.5 hours one way. Believe they stayed in the Loire and may have met Snorty’s parents for dinner that night, but don’t believe they or his parents came back to the chateau on the Wednesday evening.

The visit to Limoges is 90 minutes each way. Don’t see them driving back to Lalande on the Wednesday night then getting up and driving again for the day on Thursday down to Limoges for shopping and lunch (Even for porcelain), and then back to the HMN for dinner. Given they don't get up until noon and left late to travel to the brocante sale, it's unlikely that Snorty & Fanny drove from HMN-Chambord-Dinner-HMN and then the next day drove from HMN-Limogoes-Lunch-HMN-Dinner.

FRK also said something about the flowers arriving on Tuesday, so I think Fanny and Snorty were gone most of the week between April 29 - May 3.
.
I’m also not sure they had any guests at the shitoo last weekend (May3) and instead Fanny & Snorty headed off to the south of France. Someone, likely Potty, posted a false review from Ron Robertson-La France, pretending guests had been at the shitoo. Fanny loves playing these time games because she thinks she’s being clever, and that’s why her editing takes forever.

Agreed. I don't think they were there either. Stephanie was caught out about the flowers and also, they had seafood for two meals on the 'one day'. I'm not saying it's impossible to have two meals of seafood on the one day but it's unusual.

If this couple were Andie's friends why did Stephanie take them out, without Andie?

 

[mrsp67]

Take a look at the screenshot were Stephanie has blurred out her earrings. A person in the comments posted that they thought they were Wedgewood earrings that have been blurred out earrings with Wedgewood cameos in them can run anywhere from close to $100 to over 1400+ dollars euros. I have a feeling they must have been an expensive auction buy but she does not want to have tracked by us or other viewers And the price paid revealed ( which would make one think that it was an expensive purchase.) She has intentionally blurred out the cameo to make it difficult to discern the pattern.
What do you think? Can anyone figure out where they were purchased or the price paid? If they were inexpensive, sure wouldn’t have bothered to blur themView attachment 2926358

I think the earrings must be Chanel, Tiffany or Dior because what would be the reason for blurring them out if they were only antiques? antiques are easy to say 50$

Himselfs grandfather was doing that in the 70's. He went round and round the world a few times. As one cruise ended he would step onto another.

Ratso is not in the room. I don't think he is allowed to run around in the "dining room" because he pulls on the tassels at the back of the chairs; which is why he's usually carried in there. The golden retriever is definitely not Molly. It must belong to the mystery couple (who I am not convinced are Snorty's parents). I'm very surprised Fanny didn't make a point to introduce one of Ratso's doggy visitors and show scenes of them playing together.

@Lochness Monster -- Lochie --, I just read your earlier post commenting that this is not Molly. I am many pages behind.

You're right about the dog. I was focussed on the man.

Just to let you know if you like aurora borealis and australis there will be visible in the northern and southern hemisphere beginning tonight and all weekend. There is a series of major sun flares coming on. (Also, if your internet stop it will prob be because of that too)

Glad to have news from you and your family @Marquis de Potpourri Wow already close to be one year old !

Just went to have a sneaky-peakey outside but saw nothing. Probably need to look from an upstairs window...
