And since when does going to your grandparents for holidays equate to 'where I grew up'?
Didn't she also say her folks shipped her off to Hong Kong for holidays?
If she were my child, I'd have shipped her off as often as I could too.

I'm actually not mad about this, as it appears to be good quality nutrition based on their website. But, it does not say whether the food comes "fresh", meaning frozen... If so, the box needs to be opened and put in the freezer right away!

Here in the US, my tiny mongrels' food comes from Farmer's Dog. It's human-grade, and made specifically for them based on their weight, breed, dietary requirements, etc. (You have to fill out a Q&A for each dog.) The food is flash frozen into packets with each dog's name on it, and shipped via FedEx in an insulated box with dry ice. I receive a text when it has been shipped along with an approximate delivery time (which is usually within 24 hours of being shipped.) When it arrives, I IMMEDIATELY unpack it and place in the freezer (even in the Florida heat, they are still frozen- once in a while, one or two has started to thaw, so those go in the fridge to use first.

It is pricey, though- I pay $210 a month for two small dogs, but no longer have to give them multivitamins because they are nutritionally balanced meals. My JRT's kidney and itchy skin issues have disappeared, and my vet said it is the absolute BEST food on the market to feed your dogs. (Which is ironic, as veterinarians usually want to sell you Hills Science Diet and Royal Canin, as they get kickbacks.) Even with Luna's diabetes, he said it is far better for her to be on FD than on the prescription dog food.

The food itself actually looks and smells good. I have given my neighbours and friends a few packets for their pups to try, and half the dogs on my street are now happy subscribers. (While I don't receive incentives or discounts, I do get a thank you e-mail from the company whenever one of the dogs becomes a customer.) When one of my neighbours had to cancel with them after her 19-year old dog passed, they sent her a beautiful floral arrangement, as did Chewy, so that was really lovely for them to do.)

But the question with DogChef lies in- if it is "fresh", will someone be there to receive it, and be responsible enough to unpack and store it properly? Hell, who is even opening parcels at the dump right now with Herr Nuti on holiday again? Or are they dumb enough to try to feed the dog food that has gone bad? And is Fanny actually going "pay" for a subscription for Lancelot once the "sponsorship" is up? SMH.

You have got it all wrong!

DOGCHEF is a "stand-by' if FRK falls ill or "Tannie's' off back to the UK ...... that is for the B&B guests!

Fucking idiots and another lie from Fanny - spent all her holidays in the south of France but what about Hong Kong

I see Marie is really relishing the brown food movement again not a pea or bean in sight and desert looked like a shit plopped on a plate omg.

She runs a BNB but leaves her guests so she can run away again so I suppose Natzi who lives off site is the emergency contact.

And did we have to see the fucking fashion show, she does my head in and let’s not talk about snorts.

I think you're right, @Pekey! And, I'd rather have what this Dog Chef serves up over FRK's creations any day. There's probably less snot, too.

Fanny has had this seasons delivery of Lilysilk.

This plate of food as a starter.What is it? So unattractive and totally unappealing. The portion size maybe a blessing.
Is it just me?
I think Stephanie looked very matronly in that clothing. I'm sure that's the opposite of what she or Philip think, but she looks like a woman of a certain age who is trying way too hard - especially with all of that jacked-up face work she's had done.....and the overly dark, drawn in eyebrows!

Time travel again!

She made it out like she saw the Nothern Lights & then went to south of France. She was in the south of France last week. She saw the Northern Lights Friday or Saturday (yesterday) night after rushing back from the south of France.

Moreover, guests at the table were from more than a week ago. They didn’t miss seeing the lights because they hadn’t happened yet.

I love Rebecca's attention to detail. Her rooms look immaculate and the dinners outside look gorgeous. I am in the process of buying some old louvre doors to age and use as bedheads- just like Rebecca's!

I know some here didn't think Selling up and buying a Chateau were oing to do it, others especially the Aussies, knew of them and said for real. I must admit I have been enjoying it, in such a short space of time so much work being done. Sure they have hired a team of English people and are roaring a head. Spent time on grounds, and doing heaps to get aparment ready for them and her spa treatment area up and running by August. Very impressed and so far no patreon, go fund me or amazon wish list, all paid for with their own cash and sweat equity.

I predict her next venture will involve selling bibles, gold tennis shoes and trading cards.

OMG....... what a crap vlog that was!
So she is off to see what Cuz and his family are up to !
Fanny's is off to the south of France to see what real renovations look like; not that she's thinking of following suit mind you.

Six years since her Grandmother passed and she's now just feeling up to traveling down south for the first time - what a bunch of bull crap. I'm sure Fanny forgot her grandmother's passing once she received her inheritance.

Tante and Ton Ton were always careful not to film their UK home, and limited filming was only allowed once they had sold the place. (Fanny had to come and take away the crap she was storing in their barn). It will be interesting to see how much they let Fanny film, especially if they intend to launch their own vlog.

Nah, @billybudd, I thought about it this morning, and I think @C'est moi summed it up perfectly. FRK is so in her little bubble of the Shitoo, and does not want to actually venture outside of it (I seriously don't get it- my French is not at all where I want it to be, but every time I go to France, I at least make an effort and friends for life.) LMAO- Mr T Rex is also a huge fan of the Jumex Guava nectar- I always pick him up a few cans from the bodega! When my evil twin comes to visit, we do converse in Spanish the majority of the time (it's just our weird normal!)

Fanny is too lazy to pull out her pj's and goes to bed in her silk knit top.
Why not just sleep nude Fanny? Does your fiance not keep you warm at night?

Did those pics of the Northern Lights really come from Fanny's camera or were they still down south? Time will tell.

Cross over reply I agree she said that yes.

I am surprised that they have a lot of dates free in June, I imagined how beautiful there place is they would be booked out. Maybe preparations for the Paris Olympics is putting people off

Is it tasty? Maybe, but I know I'd still be hungry with those kiddy portions, especially for 75Euro.

she has no content at her Chateau so has to go somewhere else.
So with the all the new rules around staying at lalande is one of them you must become part of her income earning vlog as he has no content now.

Saw the best desperation clickbait from my Lacelle crew " we went brocante hunting for 5 hours 5 miles away.
Anna and Phillipe have got to be the biggest grifters of all the vlogs. No BnB income solely candles and courses, but still spending up big.
