The Chateau Diaries #408 Hey Chateau Diaries fans, mireille4751 is really Philip Janssen!

[graciemckitten]

And Brian the tag along showed up also...What's with these guys???

Will they show up at the Dump patron Days and eat lunch? The Loser has the hots for Brian. Isn’t it convenient that Cuz suddenly decides to be pals with Dan in YouTube videos again only after he started his own Nutmond channel. They are all thick as thieves and blatantly transactional.

I believe that it’s likely that skidmark and the loser have actually been away from the dump for the past week and just returned to the dump yesterday, just in time for them to participate in patron days but not to have to do any work to prep for it, as usual. Skidmark is getting a lot of flat from viewers for always being conveniently bedridden and sick whenever work needs to be done around the dump for patron days, parties, dinners, or gatherings of any type. I believe Ombeline may have deliberately included video footage of the Porsche at the dump to try to imply of viewers that the gruesome twosome were actually on the premises. It’s likely that someone from the dump probably dropped them off the local airport so they can fly to their latest vacation and the Porsche remained at the dump.It also appears that the gruesome twosome were not present for the Nutmond party, likely because they were out of the country?

Remember that Skidmark Jarvis believes that she is the smartest 50 year-old ebegging/scammng little orphan princess in the world. If she had actually been present at the dump, she would’ve made a video documenting her doing some type of work for patron days. Every year, she has some type of illness or injury that allegedly prevents her from doing any work for patron days. She’s out of excuses for ill illnesses unless she claims that she threw her back out while twirling in a dress.

At this moment, 4,200 people have viewed this video but only 1.1 K took a second to hit the thumbs up button to help with the YouTube algorithm. Stephanie put a lot of work into videoing and editing these vlogs and people come and go with out a thumbs up. What does a person have to do to get a thumbs up?

Dump Snorts.

 

[Daisy Br]

Did Brian bring the plate he borrowed from Snorts a few years ago?

We can only hope so, no plate has ever been such a big deal.

I imagine Marie’s grasp of French (even after living in France for some time), not to mention confidence in at least trying to speak French, means she’s takes the easy route of the supermarket. Which is crazy. By this point, she should have built up a rapport with market traders and know their produce backwards - Monsieur A for this, Monsieur B for that. Buying locally pays dividends.

IF she finds it all rather daunting, then take Hanni as her shopping accomplice.

The reliance on online ordering for the most mundane of things is bewildering. We joke about the crumbling farmhouse being in the middle of nowhere, but it’s not that far from “civilisation”. Shops, even if they don’t stock something, would be willing to order it in. Again, buy local. Support local businesses. I don’t think it’s Lalande operating under a regime of penny pinching (as if…..!,). It’s more taking a lazy route of click and delivery to the door.

Having just been to a local 'Farmer's Market' and having frequented a few but not for a while, I have concluded that they are now expensive artisan foods with a bit of fresh produce (at least in NZ), no longer what they used to be: cutting out the middle man and therefore reducing the cost, fresh from the farm produce and all the weird shaped fruit and veg that the supermarkets never used to accept. I can buy cheaper everything at the supermarket. I did succumb and buy the dogs some treats, but they were $9 - at the supermarket I can get virtually the same thing for $7. The pick your own strawberries are the same; back in the day, it was the cheapest way to buy fresh fruit, cut out the labour and cartage prices - however, now you pay for the privilege/fun and you pay for what you pick! Like an amusement activity.

Dump Snorts.

In this instance is 'Dump' a verb or a noun?

Morgan is working hard cleaning her newly purchased antique chandelier. It will look beautiful when it is finished being cleaned. Click below to watch her start the cleaning process.

I don’t recall ever seeing Skidmark or the Loser clean any of the antique sconces or chandeliers that they purchased and have hung up at the dump. Do you think they just hang them up dirty? I do. If that bothered to clean anything, they would film it for content since they have no content.

The holiday from hygiene scammers are lazy as tit. Do you think they’ve ever bothered to clean any of the chandeliers that they’ve had hung up at the dump on the yearly basis? Nope.

Gracie he did clean just one. Guess which room that went into...his study!

I dislike Victorian Stumperies more - looks like a bunch of old, dead trees that noone has bothered to remove.

The thing is they were Victorian fashions. Like many things not always desirable the first time around and even less so the second time around.
I was expecting fan to decide she wanted a shell house built at the dump, another fashion. fan sure travels enough to collect unusual shells. It is a project even Snorts might enjoy creating!

 

[Lochness Monster]

Not a big fan of the Newby Garden. The rose garden was truly disappointing. I've seen much better. I like sunken gardens because they have a very special atmosphere, but I sorely missed that here. The plant selection, in particular, was somewhat limited and repetitive. It's tedious to stick to a single color scheme across such a large area. That's what creating different spaces is for, to offer variety and different impressions. However, the variety of trees was the highlight of this garden tour for me.

I could have done without the chatter from Tweedledum and Tweedledee. And I'm sure they bought out the entire gift shop. In their usual fashion they also snagged a freebie (of course, they neglected to label it as advertising, as always).

And what took a week to edit this vlog?

All fan managed was its beautiful and blousy! She added nothing. Some idiot in the comments saying Monty Don should contact her.
The bag fan purchased for Pav. Rrp £180.00!

I’m trying to imagine either of them getting their lazy asses out of bed, dressed for shore combing for shells. Seriously, who would hold the parasol, carry the dog, hold their cocktails? Who would carry the collection bucket/bag for the shells?

But, you know what, Lochy…I do believe that you have given her an idea for a new grift. fan can shell beg. The sycophants can ship seashells from the seashore for the shell house of the grift bleep.

As you noticed, the visit of this scrumptious property is in two parts. Last week Stephanie posted the video of the house itself and said it would be followed by a second part about the garden. I agree that Newby Hall is enchanting and we never have enough of heritage treasures like this. Stephanie is an amazing videographer, editor and story teller. The music is great and many of us will rewatch these two episodes with delight.

I am so impressed by british gardener's knowledge! Nothing a french one can relate except grass cutting (even that task is not at british level!). I therefore understand why when it comes to buy varieties, france is a desert

Like an amusement activity.

I've had the same feeling these past couple of years here in the US. It's gotten to the point where, as you said, I go there for specialty type produce, things I can't get in supermarkets (like Bright Lights Swiss chard,, antique apples, tomatoes, berries that organically grown and stuff like that). I went to one yesterday, a very large and popular one, and thought I was going to do most of my fruit and veg shopping there just to save time. How much could it be, when all I wanted was some ordinary stuff? A bunch of scallions/green onions, that even at Whole Foods (one of the most expensive places to buy anything, unless it's on sale) cost $2.29 a bunch were $3.79 a bunch at the farmer's market - both are organic. I was aghast. The friend who went with me, picked them up and was staring at them and I had to whisper to her "don't do it - did you see how much they cost?" and she said she did see it, she was staring at them to try and determine what made them so special - like, where's the gold??? Another example - Little Gem lettuce was, I think, close to 4 dollars a head. I can buy three slightly smaller heads for that price at Trader Joe's.

I understand it totally - it's expensive for the smaller farmer to compete with large scale, commercial farmers who sell to grocery stores. But in this economic climate, where gas, electricity and healthcare is uncertain (at least here in the US), I simply can't justify it.

Sorry this is not a clearer photo, but I snapped it off my pc screen. Stats from a viewer:

 

[graciemckitten]

Lincoln had an accident where his tractor flipped over to the side but he escaped injury. They purchased a larger Kubota tractor but Lincoln needs to flip up the roll bar on the tractor so he has a chance of avoiding being crushed or seriously injured the tractor flips.

My Dad had a kubota tractor that was one size larger than what Amanda and Lincoln purchased. You must use the roll bar. I had to use the tractor a few times on my parent’s property on hilly terrain and you must use all the safety features because if you don’t and the tractor flips, you can get crushed or your leg could get severed, etc. Safety using a large tractor is no joke. A Kubota tractor is a serious piece of equipment and can be dangerous if not used properly.

He looked very ill at ease, like he was wondering why he was there., but presumably he wasn't kidnapped and taken there against his will. Is Dan's place nearby? I've never bothered trying to figure out where they all are in relation to each other.

they could create this at the dump. It would marry so well with the African monstrosity and daddy's paintings don't you think?

It's an actual house that is now an exhibit at the Canterbuy Museum in Christchurch NZ. The entire house is decorated with Paua (abalone) shells. Fred, the man in the picture, created it for his wife Myrtle.

Making the death of animals “work for her”

Aloysius died. RIP Aloysius. You had a rough and long life of abuse and neglect at the Dump.

They cannot locate the baby pea hens/ chicks? Did the imaginary fox get them or was it money maker 2.0 ? The dump is truly hell on earth for any animal that is unfortunate enough to live at the Dump.

Funny how the imaginary fox doesn’t harm money maker 2.0 and the Dump crew allow the dog to run free all over the dump even though there’s a hungry fox patrolling the premises. HMmmmmmmm…..

Perhaps Phillip should look at two or three more rooms for renting and the patio reno which gives you a revenue instead of buying more Dinner wear for the dinning room instead of the Dinning room over the Grand Salon.!!!!!!!

Also you might look for a good Livestock Guardian Dog, they will run off the fox. a Great Pyrenees or maybe a Black Newfoundland or a Maremma but be sure to get one trained as a puppy on a farm with livestock. it will be worth every penny.

Sorry, I’m not sure who mentioned the “friends” wedding Stephony and Philup were attending. Does anyone else think it could be Snorts brother being married.

Also, I discovered that Chateau De Londigny is currently for sale. This is the Chateau that Denise and Brett (from Australia) purchased. It shows the beautiful renovations and styling undertaken by Denise. More sad times for her I’m sure.

https://properties.lefigaro.com/announces/castle-charente-poitou+charentes-france/102538369/

Denise has great taste, glad she has moved on with her life. I hope Brett has bought her out, or she gets lots of $$$$ when the chateau is sold.
