FRK should be so pleased that her idol MM made sure she and Archie were papped today to overshadow THREE YEAR OLD Prince Louis’ birthday. She typically does this only to Senior Royals. New low. #auntoftheyear
Quite simply, I detest EVERYTHING about Harry’s wife.
how do we make this evident To RK in her newest failed adventure?
shall we voice it loud and clearly on her YT channel ?

And don't forget it's not just bats, it's rats, mice, chickens, pigeons, owls, peacocks, plus no doubt many other critters given free access. Just putrid 🤢.
No, different location. Panneling is in the stables where Marie had her ”studio” before and Ian the builder insulated the ceiling so IJ could be warm in the winter, which is baseless because she won’t be there in winter. SJ said she was going to have that ceiling painted white and since the panneling is uncovered and unprotected and the painters will be her amateur flying monkeys, we can see the drama coming. Poor patrons, having to pay again because that lovely panneling is now ruined.
Yeah, I could never get the picture of the scam involved in insulating the ceilings for those apartments nobody lives in. Is that restoration? WTF? It seems as selfish and frivolous as the Fortuny fabric and the Murano chandelier.
Laterally connected, still don't get how she flim flams Potts and Nick into supporting hare brained schemes. (Altho I have to say Potts' desiderata, voiced I think in a vlog with Davy? Are out to lunch. Just remembered in the frenzy of cooking Christmas dinner for 20 people, Potts was sucking up kitchen oxygen baking bread. A nutter.)

TBH, I think that 'live ' Q&A are a waste of time. It usually descends into a fiasco of not being able to keep up with the questions, and being selective about the ones they deign to answer. I'll go and watch paint dry.....
For sure..its all the same stories again...lies..lies and lies...

Ok, well, there we go, she has finally enraged me enough to come out of lurking and to start posting. Instead of raging on and regurgitating what has been endlessly repeated on here since the day I started reading here (around thread #2 - those were the times! Came here initially to figure out the name of her first husband. And the first video of hers I ever saw was "How I could afford to buy at age 29" - had me rolling my eyes hard and I wish I would have stopped then, instead of tumbling down her fairytale), I propose a few videos for those actually interested in the French heritage and "Château Life".

  • If you are interested in French castle yt channels with loads of renovation content: Chateau du Theil
(Their financing scheme also seems a bit shaky and yet more transparent than Jarvis's. Big plus: They actually project plan, employ French workers and make huge and fast progress)

  • Also this documentary on several owners in the Loire valley



You'll see that they are all struggling in coming up with ways to finance the upkeep of these buildings - and all the solutions they have developed. (Frankly, I do not mind Jarvis using youtube as an avenue. It changes from weddings and tourism, escpecially since her castle is not very precious, historically speaking. It is more and more the way she goes about it! I so miss these random videos from the early days, published 1.5 years after filming! I digress ) And, you'll also see what a properly restored building looks like. (I don't mind her batshit crazy style of "the ugliest parts of English cottage style intermixed with absurdly expensive cloth in randomly carved out gîtes" - it's rather entertaining and why not, you do not need to keep with original style. It is, however, not restoration. And neither is a pool. Which, why would you need that if you plan on getting the lake back, anyway)

  • In another documentary, again the financial strain is talked about, especially in combination with the emotional baggage when you and your siblings inherit such a building. The videos show how her story is not reliable. Just to be clear: I don't need for her to only focus on project management and financing in her videos. But if she chooses to talk about these kind of things, e.g. how to buy or her monthly running cots or her staff, her information needs to be true.

They are already at it...
10:15 am est Why so early?????? In hopes that only super fans will be asking question????

In other news... an update and edit from the Manor & Maker website:

The "Manor" refers to our chateau in the lovely Dordogne, France. We invite you to join us on our adventures as we work to make this house our home. We want you to share in our lives as we adapt to a new life and new ventures in this stunning property.

"Maker" is our desire to create communal work spaces for people to come together and create wonderful things. From artists and makers to lifestyle and wellness practitioners to people who want to come together through their passion, we want our home to become a destination. Our facilities will be adaptable from intimate gatherings to larger groups all in the beautiful surroundings of quintessentially French countryside.

Let's hope that they shove off soon... Both of these new grifters are unrelatable, unwatchable, and unlikable. But hey, good luck on your new venture, you're going to need it.
So, they have found their chateau in France ?

When filmed at Lalande, they said that they were "chateau hunting" ?

So, SJ says on her Live Q and A today says that Teabag Trotter has stayed in Madrid due to lockdown and will return to France when lockdown ends. So why does he try to suggest in his IG that he is in Basminger today?

‘If you think YT is easy then give it a try yourself’
I’m starting to wonder about Ryan’s mental health
Cos if you’ve got something called a job
Why on earth would you need to make a vlog?

The BMAC tap will be turned off
But it can be turned on again
Don’t be taken in
They’re all the same

Ryan’s used the donations to buy himself a car
No saving up for him – he’ a YT ‘star’
Now he needs to get a bloody job
And show us that in his next vlog!

He says he feels for others who are stuck in little apartments
Because of people like him who travel to other departments
Covid is here to stay and everyone must follow the rules
The situation’s getting worse cos of these bloody fools!

But it doesn’t matter cos all that matters is the dosh
These days you can get anyone to watch any old tosh
Whatever passes the time and gets them through the day
Even if they’re bored silly and have to pay

Well, SSB actually admitted the new apartments will be available for rent since she doesn’t want to rely on only one source of income (that was scary before!). So beloved Geraldino and Natalia are simply the excuses to start building them. Not surprised if patrons start a pension fund for their heroine’s future. Maybe they already have...

I appreciate the new (to me) suggestions! Thank you!

Isn't that someone tagging MPeth in a post about eating a scone/biscuit, whilst looking at a yt of Basminger- which MP has then reposted?

Thanks for these 2 videos.

These are real people with real life. People with real projects and real plans.

The young man in the first documentary bought this Loire Valley chateau (not the middle of Berry or Mayenne) for 500.000 euros to the commune (town) with an agreement with the municipality : he pays 25.000 euros every year over 20 years.

But he knows what he is doing : his father is a specialist in chateaux renovation.

And now, let's compare with who we know...
