This really annoys me. At the end she says Cameron prefers to work with trees. However, she was initially quite happy to cast aspersions, saying he wasn't everyone's favourite team member . . . inferring Cameron didn't fit in/was not liked by the others. Such a nasty, shit stirring bitch.

This sounds lovely and I like your idea of a international theme for your tea. Enjoy! I love meals where you can just keep picking at it.
Thanks, they are our fave as well. Gorgeous nibbly bits for the win! And I forgot the most important bit, the TEA. Now here is where I am going to lose a bunch of y'all, but I'm going to chalk it up to cultural differences.

It is currently 93F, 33C at almost 5pm, so I serve tea iced. Tomorrow we are having mint iced tea for the savory, then I got the "Queen Charlotte Tea" from Republic of Tea, it is a limited edition for the show I'm serving with the sweets. This one is a vanilla fruit rooiboos that I'm certain will be gorgeous iced!

Not me, the reason why I do not drink coffee or tea is because I prefer cold drinks. So, for me, ice tea is actually good. I also make some iced coffee during summer too once in a while with cream in it. (all homemade, I do not buy premade stuff too much sugar in them)

I LOVE Iced Tea, and homemade is the only way to go! I have to be careful not to have too many teas in stock so I make sure I use all of them!

Dan posted a few seconds of Elsa and her 7 puppies at the end of the video he posted an hour ago.

Puppies are so cute, as you don’t know how momma got pregnant are you sure that Anna is actually a girl

7 puppies and yeah I don't believe Dan didn't notice. Elsa was sleeping a lot and not running around as much as Anna. I reckon Dan did notice and never said anything until they were born to make it more of a story and get more views. Surely he must have felt the pups when he strokes the dogs at the end of the day

Please give mama dog some extra nutrients, kalsium etc. She is hardly grown to her adult size and now has to feed so many babys. Please take better care for your dogs.

Especially as Elsa is still a pup herself. I don't think she's even 1 yet.

@billybudd your vision for a Mediterranean pied de terre sounds quite perfect. So many times we see these places with kitschy seaside decor, lots of blue, yellow and white, anchors and fishing nets! Yours would be a study in total coastal relaxation. Book me a month in September.

I suspect that nothing has changed in this apartment since it was purchased. Maybe even since it was built. They often change hands with the furniture in situ. If you check out Airbnb for studio appartements in Cap d'Agde, you will find far more stylish examples and better looked after than fanny's.

The dominant winds are the Cers (also known as the tramontan) and the Marin. The Cers is the one that blows the most, for more than two-thirds of the year! The Scirocco not so much, that's more over to Marseille.

Here's an explanation of the winds that blow across the Narbonnais part of the Languedoc


I see that Chateau de Gaudanes - chateaugaudanes on Instagram - have been showing off their gorgeous Freres Not pottery dinner service. Just so stylish and subtly embossed

I reckon it's a combination of not liking anyone other than her to be the favourite and he was probably onto her and didn't like her.

Which does make me wonder what Nic really thinks of SJ; he doesn't appear to have gone back, but he's also running his own business so needs to keep contracts on-side.

I think that one of the brothers is living in it. With his family? It's possible he could have bought out his siblings share. It's also possible that an arrangement was made with the mother for him to live out his days there? Maybe he was grandmamas carer before she went into the home. It is a largish property, it could be that a one bedroom flat has been made out of some of the rooms and that is where tonton and twotonne are staying. Hence fanny's mention of there only being one bedroom. Maybe whoever it is that lives in the house didn't want to be filmed. Someone was inside while fanny was filming tonton and twotonne in the garden, whoever it was turned the interior lights off so they wouldn't be picked up on camera. Watch it again, you'll see.

I don't think it was deadly nightshade. It looked like a groundhugging weed with a sapphire blue flower we used to call Speedwell.

@tarteauxfruits maybe you could help me with a query. Could Isabelle be off-loading the flat down south and perhaps her share of the Grandma's flat to her daughter to avoid death duties? Does France have death duties?
Pity the wonderful Yebo isn't around to help sort out the South African situation!

Well at least one tattler could answer south France questions at the moment.
