When IS the next series of either DIY or ETTC? I read that Ch de Bourneau (Frenchman JB and English wife Erin) did some shooting the other day for an upcoming series. I thought it was due some time this month.

She's the new volunteer.The new fanny woman in the kitchen who came on Selmar birthday is she the help or Selmars girlfriend? Slightly confused as SJ didn't really introduce her
Anyway since Downton Abbey and Game of thronesNah, we love you really

So FRK don't want to hug Nutty, but bathes in the adoration of Princess SJ. I can't believe Anna called her that.

Now we know when BJJ is happy, he snorts. When he is angry, he just breathes heavily. Oh, how hard it must be to see MPK, be better at everything...
Stephanie may be a princess, but Michael!!! Michael is the QUEEN!
Ed being discontented at grilling eggplants for FRK and BJJ is a total mood...

Though she is about to bend away here, too
Not the affectual type... But she certainly learned to say "I love you" 100 times a day

Had to go back and see the Lambrusco that Snorty bought for his contribution. Number one, don't bring wine to a wine experts home unless you are requested to do so. Number two, don't bring cheap soda pop wine to anyone unless requested to do so. It was really embarrassing to see the glee in Snorty's face when making his toast. The hosts did a good job of playing their part. I'm sure they laughed about it later. A box of fine chocolates (not Lindt truffles, even though I adore them) to share would have been a better choice. This faux pas reflects Snorty's upbringing. Obviously Steph doesn't know any better either unless she was deliberately trying to make a fool of him. She could have said let's take the wine back to the chateau as a souvenir to share. It was like picking up a cheap bouquet from the super market and taking it to a professional florist as a gift. He does try though.

If I remember correctly it was a 15 Euro wine, not too cheap IMO, but he should brought more bottles and gave the present once they arrived.... If wine at all. Nobody else brought anything either or they would have showed?
So glad, though this might not be everyone's taste either

As a newbie, still catching up on established facts. Thanks to whomever first posted the link to the Derek Jarvis paintings online. This one, "Game Plan", struck me as a startling likeness of SJ planning her game. Perhaps some of you with sharper eyes than I can work out some of the symbolism...

That is not correct, it has been planned for at least some weeks, because Anna told in a video earlier that a "special, beautiful person" would come there and do a house tour of their new chateau with her.
When I heard it, I thought it might be Stephanie, and they sure did some filming there before they went to get their vaccine.

He sounds terrible. What a monster. I did the cooking for a monastery and lay community in the UK, run by exiled Tibetan monks following the Kampada tradition. . I used a cook book from a once famous vegetarian restaurant in London called Cranks. I had worked for another vegetarian restaurant in the early 70s, and a vegetarian caterer, so when I saw the advert in the back of a magazine I applied for it. It was a temporary post for 3 months over the winter, helping the permanent cook. She used the Cranks book. I still have a copy of it. Its not as infamous as the banned book.
The nuns and monks were lovely, as was the spiritual director. I found some of the lay community very challenging. Some were very extreme in their views. You couldn't walk in the grass in case you crushed an insect underfoot. I was asked if I wanted to join the community, you paid rent for a room and food was provided in exchange for domestic work. The place was freezing as it was partly derelict, with a huge hole in the wall, and some windows were missing. It was huge, 42 bedrooms, and the heating was inadequate. You were not allowed TV or newspapers, no outside distractions. Two of the community complained when I left the grounds to go to the village. I declined their offer, it was too cut off from the real world and I didn't feel the call to Tibetan Buddhism.. I respect their beliefs.
I went back to see them 5 years later and the house was repaired and comfortable.

Thanks. Yes, in the US, for many Americans, Buddhism is the refuge for super-controlling anorexics among other things, who exercise "mindfulness" as an array of thou shalt nots. Espe Brown writes about trying to cook for food fetishists at Tassajara and other Buddhist retreats. Per the Dalai Lama, I'm a begging monk, I eat what's put in my bowl.
Paradoxically, in the US Buddhism is also the refuge for Jews and Christians brought up in the tradition which emphasizes a mean Daddy god. Lots of virtuous un-, non-, de-gendered (?) folk ohmming powerfully for good.
Very interested in the Cranks cookbook, thanks for the tip.

Yes, that's tourism but not military service. Military service was when your and @Jeeves and other tattlers ancestors were fighting against Nazi-Germany.
@FrenchGirl123 wrote already in #624 that her original post was about tourism, @Jeeves answer was about army members lying in cemitaries
By the way brits were really very important for tourism in Europe (e.g.Thomas Cook, alpinism, skiing in CH).

I'm interested in your cooking experience. Edward Espe Brown I think is the seminal 20th century cook, he started out as a tortured hippie boy at a Big Sur Zen monastery (contradiction in terms, like military intelligence). He wrote million seller cookbooks like the Tassajara Bread Book and gave the copyrights to the notorious rip off guru who ran the SF Zen Center, and remodeled his hip SF digs with Ed's royalties. He was finally driven out because he was diddling some rich guy's wife? He was much more ruthless and successful a guru than SJ, and his apartment built on Ed's back was much much nicer than Lalande. There he entertained Cali's governor and presidential candidates, as I recall.
Ed Brown is a really good cook and he learned how to bake from a couple of old Italians from North Beach, SF. Back when all that was heaven. He mentored Deborah Parsons, Alice Waters, and the Zen Center's swank veg restaurant Greens (extensive Cali wine sales with your bean burger and micro greens made the big bux, so Buddhist!). That whole Cali farm to table genre is Ed and Green Gulch hippies. He did that. Thank you for cooking for the Buddhists. <3
Here comes the banned book-from-Amazon-link, ruh roh. It tells the story of how this Stephanie-like guru ripped off everybody, including Ed Brown's substantial cookbook royalties.

The idea that you HAVE to eat off solid silver for longevity, will come as a surprise to silversmiths the world over. Plenty of Sterling Silver is usable for food..
The uk don't hate Americans i don't know where you get that idea fromOn the flip side...Seems the UK hate the Americans as well...But they want our tourism $ too...
Maybe thats why teabag is going to stay at la la land to show snort a lot how to edit videos properly

There's a wonderful 60s musical about expats in France called "No Strings" which has a song specially sung by the grifters. Amazingly bad manners on the part of the locusts descending on Chateau Dents Mortes reminded me of this one:

It couldn't be. This self righteous fairy would NEVER sell their privacy, and Peter and Anna have already sold theirs. It honestly sounds fake to me. There is nothing in that post that hasn't already been said on tattle.

How many are Tattlers...?
(Not me)There's someone in the DIY FB group thats desperate to find out where these mythical broadcasts are shown.
Btw the chateau Selmar viewed isn't in a suburb. Its 24k outside Le Mans, and no other big conurbation near it. A village about 1km away.
Was the video of Selmar dancing, him dancing with a trainee, or a regular, experienced dancer? Not quite sure I get how he could do lessons down the videolink..
