Congratulations @TheCook for naming the thread. Had to do some creative rewriting to make it fit.

Deep breath…. I own a chateau. I’ve been here for many years mostly watching and laughing along with you all, my freinds by proxy. After the usual Easter debacle I thought it would be interesting to some, what is usual for locals here In my corner of South west France. Saturday night started the egg hunt, no child’s game, this started with a few drinks at the Mairie before starting on an epic pub crawl with no pubs. The group turn up at house after house blasting the traditional chanson des parcillions from an old ghetto blaster as the only accordionist JP is at Orléans at the moment. They gather eggs and drink at every house they visit. They got to us at 4.30am and roused us by blasting a hunting horn through the cat flap. My husband sprang into action. I muttered some very bad words and went to sleep. Apparently we hosted a dozen people including our newly elected Maire who was three sheets to the wind. Monday our comité des fêtes made a fabulous 3 course omelette feast with all their spoils for around 300 people. Tuesday we were tipped off was a fabulous casse croûte we have taken advantage of many times before, soup, tête de veau, steak frites, cheese then a digestive for €18. At 9am. And that’s what life is here, marvellous, surprising and nothing like our lives in the UK. It’s been 5 days and counting since we had a night without an unexpected visitor for apéro. All the best bits of life in France she misses! That’s why I stopped watching and why I lost interest in the channel. I kept watching for ages in the way you keep checking in on an old friend hoping she’s sorted herself out but it’s never going to happen. Tant pis pour elle!

Apparently, there will also be a peacock prison for the very inbred peachicks. Jamie was making the door using the wood Nick milled. Apparently, fan had no idea that is where the wood came from. I wonder how much of that wood Amaury has nicked for his new abode, as fan would never even notice... After learning this, she seemed very proud the wood came from the Shitoo woods. (To be fair, fan would believe OSB board with a Brico sticker came from the Shitoo woods if someone told her it was such.)
The sheep are still alive. Aloysius is still amongst the living and fan claims he is getting injections for his arthritis. Whilst that may be, she could at the very least take Galahad to get his nails trimmed.
The only entertaining part was of Hugh Grunt and Hanni intending on having a boat race in the moat, but lacked an oar so made do with a branch, which was ineffective. They actually appeared to be having genuine fun. I'm not going to lie- that is something I would have done. Plus, it isn't fan's type of activity, so other than her bringing them a pitcher of Pimm's Cup and sunscreen, she soon lost interest and they were able to float around in peace.
Meanwhile, fan emptied out the hundreds of empty porcelain boxes Snorts was to lazy to dispose of and made a big deal about moving the robot vacuum/mop combo whilst Snorts sat on the terrace doing fork all but playing his new victrola records dressed like an 80-year-old man.
FRK is MIA, so fan made an omelette for Hanni and herself for dinner and Snorts had leftovers. Potts has promised to- wait for it- make more bread tomorrow. Huzzah.

I wondered if they are on the road again because this is 16 minutes of filler crap. Plus fan uploaded it early today, but at the end of the patron vlog fan says tomorrow (Thursday) is the first regular B&B weekend of the season.
Begins with fan in bed, where she says she always begins her day with a walk in theEnglish withered
garden. fan spent 2.30 minutes in the garden filming her bush(es). (I skipped through) Definitely filmed on two different days based on fan's hair.
Then into the scullery where fan demonstrates how she is now saving coffee grounds for FRK to use in the garden. The coffee grounds are kept in a musical F&M tin which rotates so fan can start each day with music & coffee. Envision a coffee ground tin playing the piano sounds of a musical ballerina jewel box for a 5-year-old little girl.
Back to bed.... fan says "that is pretty much how I start my day, every day, at the shitoo. The only difference being that the weather changes or the state of advancement of the flowers changes, and I couldn't wait to show Dan the difference in the English Garden when he was here, as he came for Easter. This is what happened when Dan came around, and I'm not quite sure I truly understand the meaning of perennial."
So we're back amongst fan's bush(es), this time with Dan and his boys. Dan is taking the piss, but ultimately says it looks pretty good.
Back to bed where fan is narrating. Next, we're off to visit the chickens. They are shy and don't usually come out into the chicken run unless someone enters the chicken house. fan enters, and en queue the chickens head out to the chicken run. fan says they are healthy. They keep the food out in the chicken run to entice them outside.
The chickens will be called Blanche Neige (Snow White). fan also shows off her cherry (tree).
Back to bed....now we're going to see some of the 'gifts'?
Baldilocks received, and some others he ordered himself. There was so much going on over Easter weekend, fan didn't have time to share it with everybody. 
fan & Baldilocks were so busy cleaning & organizing porcelain, but not too busy to open a gift that arrived in the mail from Tom & Anita. Snorty doesn't seem to know who they are either until fan says they are from the US. Snorty, "Oh my God. I already have 4 of these, although 1 broke. Very, Very nice." Snorty wanted to put them in situ and show them off right away instead of continuing to clean up.
Back to bed. fan says Baldilocks was so busy over Easter he hasn't had time to put the plaques on the decanters. (Based on the amount of booze
on tap scattered across the shitoo, they're going to need multiple sets).
Next Snorty is opening a box. fan asks if it's porcelain, but Baldilocks says "NO, it's not porcelain", as though it's okay t to buy more crap as long as it's not porcelanwhatever's in the box
Surprise it's books Baldilocks says he purchased on. Baldilocks says the first book only cost $8.00, but ofcourse he doesn't mention how much it cost to ship + import duties. Pages are falling out, but who cares!
Book 2 - which includes Baldilocks fav. chateau - Chateau St. Cloud
Book 3 - Lots of Mr. Know-it-All history & design lectures..... Louis the 15th, was the great grandson was Louis the 14th, because his his father and grandson died before him......blah, blah, blah.....

Potty comes in the kitchen and mumbles something - who cares! (bad sound)
Book 4 - this is Baldilock's fav. There may have been more books - hard to tell. He's happy it's written in English so he can understand.
Back to bed.....fan is so excited to have time to read those books. I'm so happy to be home at the shitoo right now. Nite, nite my lovelies!

The icing on the cake is the cinched waist, squeezed in by a belt that’s too small.

Baldrick shows that he can be productive. Look how successfully he's developed his paunch and backside. Now that his jeggings no longer fit, whose jeans is he wearing now? He's certainly piling on the pounds. By the length of his jeans, they might be FRK's. Keep it up Snorty, you'll soon be in Papa Pug's cast offs.
As always thank you all for contributing

I watched the vlog, against my better judgement. At least fan did finally acknowledge Selmar's work in the gaaaahden. For a moment, I was going to give her a gold star, but Hugh Grunt made a remark about what an amazing job fan did and fan made kind of a snarky remark that THEY (meaning Hugh Grunt, Baghead and she) made it happen. Pulease. Hugh Grunt does fork all other than bake bread when he is there and Baghead just paid the utility bills before fan started generating revenue from her Patreon and vlogs.SaucySaysSo said:
She usually doesn’t show up on my feed, but this one did. She makes me sick. How many times will she monetize Nick’s passing?

I cannot stop laughing at these pictures. Philip Janssen doesn’t own a single pair of flattering trousers!Jeeves said:
