I wonder if Cuz is down in the Jenga Room pulling an all nighter before Chateau DIY appears to film hisI look at this and I just think that whole place must have that horrible cold, dusty, dank, clammy feel to it and every single thing you touch.
Jean-Christophe must have been called in to do a bit of overtime (sunset is about 7.30pm) to help move that wasted purchase of a mirror.
Cuz was done for the day or had run off to the cozy room.
There has to be a thread‘La Landfill’…. Absolutely spot on. Love it!
Well the first part of his video was not uplifting at all. It was concerning... excess drinking, smoking.. lazing around, sleepless nights, nightmares. Too much going on his head at the moment...He spoke of Gwendoline with love and respect as the beautiful mother of his boys.. even the song by Candi Staton He called me baby was an odd choice... Was it a 'forgive' me video? His actions haunting him? I don't know about substance abuse but he is not in a good place. His next big project is not going to fill the hole he has dug himself. He must be rubbing his hands with glee though when he found a new buyer for the Library.. Who else would be gullible enough to buy something that was not and never would be right for La Landfil. If Princess thinks she has got herself a bargain she will gladly hand over the cash, even if it's not fit for purpose.. If Amaury has anything to do with it that library is destined for very long stay in the container where it will end up brittle and broken.Well done to the wonderful @ComtesseRose ...I don't know how you do it with all you are going through. Sending tons of Love and strength from this Tattle newbie. Congrats too to the very witty and incisive @JackSpratt
Steffi didn't put "Billy the Spiv" through the Lielande fantasy filter...he looked dreadful. He has lost his youthful bloom and the fuller face he once had made him look younger and healthier. On a serious note I think old Billster is fighting/chasing some huge demons or even "dragons"I suspect that his drugs of choice may be more recreational than Ozempic and a lot might be going up that finely chiselled nose If this is the case I hope he gets help fast as it is devastating for all concerned. Something is out of control there and it might involve more than a passing affair.
I don't like that grim old Library...there is nothing fine about it. Demolition man (Monsieur Nutmond) is very bad temper(dly) going to put to death another perfectly good functional room in that mess of a Chateau (The Winter Salon) it is NOT going to end well. And as others have said that Rothschild Library is probably cursed.
Billy claimed there were once very odd noises at the Convent and stated it was haunted. Well it was the Mother House for the Order of Nuns involved in my early education (The Canonesses of St Augustine). The Nuns (particularly the French ones were very unforgiving) our Headmistress Sister Marie Francoise was even more powerful than the older Mother Superior (who was more or less a figurehead). She ruled with a rod of iron and was very severe. If Billy was carrying on with a few vices after hours at the Convent perhaps the Canonesses are administering a kind of retribution from beyond the GraveJust all so Hellish for Gwendoline and those lovely little boys. Go to Rehab Billy for their sakes
So he was bragging about what a deal he won this for. Not only does the 'designer' have no hair... he also apparently has no clothes€600+++ for this oversized pink Pepto Bismol mirror that does fit or suit anywhere in the shitoo. No matter, lets spend more money and repaint it. Whose going to do that work for you Fanny? More $$$ down the drain for this non-bargain.
Fanny, stop pretending your unlisted farmhouse is a grand French chateau - it never was and never will be!

Are the coffers drying up necessitating the need to flog the library? Perhaps he's beginning to realise how much he's lost as Gwen realises that he needs her more than she needs him.Well the first part of his video was not uplifting at all.

A HIDEOUS PEPTO BISMOL FRANKENMIRROR ….FABULOUS

Isn't it just a frankenmirror glued to a barn door though? The chairs are decent enough (albeit superfluous), but that mirror is truly odd; I totally get that you must grab bargains when they come along, but you do need finished rooms to put them in after a while, and it's been quite a while - and it's not like those rooms didn't have furniture before (Chambord, sure...).There comes a time when it turns into luxury hoarding regardless of how much you want everyone to call it "planning ahead".

My god, how awful! This mirror doesn't fit in the room, nor on this completely squashed fireplace, and it's totally out of style. And this color would be perfect in a brothel.

Remember when you stopped (in Paris i think) to collect one of Philips unseen, and successful bids and it was absolutely teeny, tiny? What was it, again? Was it a vase, or a statue? I can’t remember…. What a great ‘cut to’scene that would have been for this vlog

But surely without a well maintained structure their will be nowhere to safely display the beautiful furniture etc. Can you imagine another kitchen disaster. Can you update us on the chapel. Would love to see it being used to keep it alive.

Comments from people that have visited LaLande (which we hope to do within a couple of years) always say how beautiful the chateau is but the best part is how you all make everyone feel so welcome like they are family. I want to sit in the kitchen and have morning coffee with Marie while she preps a meal or cuts up veggies…and I want to help.

I don't think they have guests sit in the kitchen drinking coffee while Marie preps the meals. Guests don't go into the kitchen.

That is so sweet. I totally understand how it is to feel like they are family. I have watched every episode too, and. keep it on repeat during the day to just hear familiar voices and laughter. They are such a beautiful group of people and spread nothing but happiness and joy. All the best to you, we are a sort of family in Lalande and the people who bring us joy there. Be well and happy,Audri

Audri, I also find having the vlogs running a comfort. When I have trouble falling asleep, I run the vlogs. It reminds me of being a child falling asleep to the sound of family voices talking and laughing.

Stefanie, I can’t believe you feel the need to justify to the heathen as to why you’re buying things. Please continue to be an aspiration and listen not to negative peasants for they are jealous. Next time you feel you have to justify your spending please close your eyes and whisper to yourself “I am the queen of my chateau, let them eat cake”, and carry on x

I think we are safe for quite some time. Beyond the Grande Salon and Grande Dining Room, there’s the terrace, the lake/boathouse, the facade repairs, Gerry’s apartment, the library, the future pool, the future natural swimming hole, “Nati’s” apartment, “Ollie’s apartment”, possibly the creation of a grande staircase, the future French formal gardens, …. We have oodles of fun to look forward to!

With auctions, sometimes you have to purchase items when they are avail. and just wait until you have the place to put it. Especially if the price is right.
Uuummmmm….Why why why do these crazies think for one minute that we'd be jealous.
Jealous of what?.............................what!?

Come, come Brenda! Let's not forget his other talents - deserter from the British Army and running to France to hide, stealing from French churches and selling on these stolen goods, living off his French fiancee (along with the rest of his family) and then cheating on her and all the while claiming that he wants to be a role model and bring up his boys with strong morals. He's certainly shown some creativity there. His father must be so proud of his thieving, cowardly, cheating, conniving sons and his racist, rough as a badger's arse daughter.
I’m on it too for my diabetes, i initially lost weight but I’ve plateaued now just grateful my sugar is under control. What I did notice about it is my aversion to alcohol, I used to love wine haven’t touched a glass for over two years. I might have a cocktail but even that’s rare.I’m on Ozempic, sometimes I refer to it as Mama’s fat shots. It doesn’t make you into a bad person. It’s wonderful. If you’re a douche overweight person, you’ll be a douche skinny person. Whatever he’s done in his life, he’s done because he wanted to. Seems like that’s all he does.
If the chimney breast narrows at the top then is it not possible to 'extend' it each side to follow the width at the bottom? Have I just simplified that? Is it a working fireplace? I've no idea if that is even possible but surely you only need a couple of battons and plaster either side. Is this the room that has just had it walls upholstered? So many questions... What's the saying that these diy folk say... Measure twice cut once... should have gone to specsavers.€600+++ for this oversized pink Pepto Bismol mirror that does fit or suit anywhere in the shitoo. No matter, lets spend more money and repaint it. Whose going to do that work for you Fanny? More $$$ down the drain for this non-bargain.

I don't know why they bothered putting the chairs in the van... they could have saved so much time and just put them straight into the skip as that's where they will eventually end up, behind the green netting in the metal containers.Love how she was justifying the chairs in front of the the skip which was a rather good place to see just how they will look at the Falling Down Farmhouse !
So .... where to next I wonder? Where ever it is there will be a auction find to collect !
LaLande will look like this soon ----- and they will need that lift thing too !!!
Sorry just seen your comment.. I've added something similar.Thinking about it, they might just as well have chucked those chairs in the skip behind them as they'll be fit for nothing after they've been stored in the humid containers at the shitoo.
His justification for all the excessive buying, even though nothing is complete inside was laughable too.
They've lost the plot!

Funny how those ardent defenders never seem to be able to answer that question.Jealous of what?.............................what!?
I believe it comes down to the ardent defenders having the same desires as the dump crew. They want that life too. So if anyone criticizes the “lifestyle” it’s a personal affront to them. It’s as if their own world is being attacked and the response is to lash out in defense of what they desire.Funny how those ardent defenders never seem to be able to answer that question.
Yet, in the same breath they scurry around various forums to read what is actually being said and discovered.
When you all look at that “mirror“ remember that the people who bought this Kenough pink hunk of not very well cobbled together junk are the very same people who criticize Terry and Ash.Just wondering how many 'deals' we have never seen. This one needs another reconfiguration and restoration for starts
