As much as I can't stand the fake dramatics of the old bat, I have to say she is looking rather good considering her age. I very much doubt fan will look so good in 35 years time with her face full of botox, fillers and god only knows what else. Those fillers are alreadView attachment 4025713y starting to migrate south 🤭

Check back in a few weeks after the bangs have started growing out. The chip clip will be back in service, scraping the bangs out of her eyes.

I’m saying not one word about the woeful animal husbandry (or lack of) - not good for the blood pressure at this time of night.

That mystery (yeah, right) roll of fabric, serendipitously the prancing twerp’s “favourite” William Morris design, is 6 metres. SJ mutters vaguely it might be suitable for the Janssen salon. Not for nothing is that room called Quatre Fenêtres. Four pairs of curtain from 6 metres? I think not.

A shout out to Pavlova in Constance Spry mode. 10/10 for trying. However, 4/10 for execution. They’re an awful hodgepodge of colours and too many varieties. Such a waste of “ingredients”, much of which came from a wholesaler in Holland (Hoek Flowers).

The bounds of credulity are stretched.to their absolute limit at the idea of Percy bringing a box of vases all the way from Johannesburg (with a pit stop in Suffolk). Miraculous…no breakages! Who’d have thunk it?!

You're awake in the wee hours! Hope you are o.k. How is your dental work progressing - have you healed sufficiently that you can eat again?

Drunkle decides to help himself to the buffet during Skidmark’s speech. It is ironic that she is giving the speech in front of the crumbling terrace steps that she promised were going to be fixed over 3 1/2 years ago and even gave a date in March when the workers are supposed to show up to start restoring the terrace deaths. Whenever skidmark opens her mouth, the lies come tumbling out.

Skidmark hates to pay for veterinary care of any kind. That includes going to the doctor herself, unless it's for botox.

Spare us your crocodile tears fan. You don't give a damn about any of the animals at the shitoo. fan's never home
when any of her animals get sick or die - why? Because fan's never bloody home, but there's no way her slaves don't keep her informed!

Sheep - Aloyisous was elderly, but that poor ram did not live a good life. It's a blessing that he's finally out of his pain. I don't believe for one second that the vet ever came for him, or any of the other animals. Filming the vet, even from a distance, would have been much-needed vlog footage for fan. The remaining sheep should be surrendered to a home where they can live out their last days comfortably.

Peachicks - how many peachicks have died over the years? fan said it was a big surprise when the peachicks were born. BS! That's why Jamie made a half-assed attempt to enclose the garden shed. But they were all too damn lazy, or didn't care enough, to clear out the gardener's shed and make a comfortable nesting spot for the peahean & her chicks. Disgusting.

Chickens - so the fox is brazenly walking around the shitoo grounds. fan mentioned the plan had been to install electrified fencing around the chicken enclosure before getting the new chickens. But she couldn't wait, and fan now has a whole new bunch of chickens for the fox to hunt. No more word about an electrified fence. Instead, the door on the chicken coop is held shut by a brick, and dogs allowed up to the door (while the chickens rush inside to hide) View attachment 4025586View attachment 4025411

So we're back to the 1950's MASH tent and uncomfortable wooden, assembly hall chairs. That should be toasty for the guests since the weather is +30C

Safari Ken reporting for duty. Look at those lily-white legs without an ounce of muscle. Snorty's picking out his outfit for the day, while everyone else is busy outside with the preparations. Five minutes of work outside and Snorty's a wrinkled mess - ha!

Look at all the crap piled up and hidden behind the screen. Also, why the dirty, dead, straggly grape vines across the beams? Why is Mummy wearing a mask for the car ride? Is she ill? TB? The only reason Baldilocks went to pick up the 3 Wee Muskateers at Limoges is so he could probably stop in a the procelain factories.
View attachment 4025441View attachment 4025551

Look at all that crap. fan says it will only take 10 minutes to clean up - my ass! Bloody hoarders!
View attachment 4025444View attachment 4025445

None of those items were 'gifts'. Percy didn't haul all of those heavy, cut glass vases all the way from SA.
An entire bolt of fabric (paaaarfect for drapes in Baldilocks boudoir) didn't just appear from an unknown person. And Helen, whoever the hell she is, didn't just happen send a bunch of books to Baldilocks.

Agree with the fellow tattler who said that fan & Baldilocks went from Newby Hall to the wedding in the Netherlands and then took the rest of the week making their way back to the shitoo (likely via London). All those 'gifts' were purchased by Baldilocks + all of Baghead's weird crap just suddenly appearing from the London flat.
View attachment 4025545View attachment 4025546

Why are Andy and his husband/boyfriend Richard there? Best guess. Andy brought all of fan & Baldilock's crap with them in their car from London, while fan & Baldilocks flew back to France? Imagine driving all that way and still having to rent a place to stay, although wherever they're staying is no doubt nicer than the shitoo.
View attachment 4025562

Look at the filthy tables. They're dusty and appear to have bird poop on them (near Andi). Does no one take a hose to them and give them a good scrub? All of those tablecloths in the shitoo, and they can't find any to put over those tables for the 'staff' dinner. Shameful.
View attachment 4025564

Wrong fan! Every single lalander, except you and Baldilocks, is busy somewhere in this shitoo.
View attachment 4025574View attachment 4025575

Patrick & Stuart were likely invited but chose not to attend, instead dropping off some preserves while fan & Baldilocks were out of town - wise choice! As for giftbags - 36 maximum! Will be interesting to see how many guests are repeat 'fake' patrons.

I said the MASH tents would be back, it's not her special birthday year, so back to basics.

I do wonder after the event and happy group photo for posterity, how many of the sad act patrons walk away from there thinking 'what the duck have I just been to?'......if they're perfectly honest.

.........and we all know she can't wait for them 'to get the hell out of her house'......how tiring🥱

Skidmark’s manipulative speech👇👇👇 She sounds like she is in love with dangerous Dan.No mention of her 3.5 year fake engagement with the “love of her life” Baldilocks Janssen.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you for what you're doing here in this tiny corner of France. It is because of all of you and because of all of the other patrons that Land is being restored. We had done what we could when we first moved in. And after we'd spent all of the money that we had, we saw Landon just very slightly, as my mother loved pointing out to me, just slightly deteriorate each year. Nothing major, nothing like the floods that we had in the kitchen, but just a slight deterioration.


GET READY FOR THE EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION ABOUT THE POOR LITTLE 50 YEAR-OLD LITTLE ORPHAN PRINCESS BEING AT THE DUMP BY HERSELF👇👇👇
And it was very soul destroying to be here quite a lot of the time on my own, to see that around me, to feel totally unable to tackle it and to try doing small things that were effectively plasters over a broken leg. So when the vlog took off and when all of you started to support us, everything turned around.

GUSHING , LOVE BOMBING SPEECH ABOUT DANGEROUS DAN 👇👇👇👇SHE ALWAYS HAS TO REMIND DAN THAT HE WAS A GARDENER….. SHE WILL NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE HAS BLOWN HER AWAY IN THE YOUTUBE GAME.
And the living embodiment of that change is Dan who is I think here somewhere who is the very very first person that we employed because of the patron accounts. It was my mother who was toiling incessantly in the garden and I knew that she needed a gardener more than anything. I remember one day I said to you, "Mommy, you need a gardener." And you went, "How am I supposed to get one?" Gardener.
Gardener.

And Dan arrived. It worked. [laughter] It worked. You asked the universe. The universe answered and Dan arrived and he made such a change not only to the garden, but to the morale of the whole house. And all of you have had a chance to chat to him today will see why. Like, he's just a joy to be around.

And after that, I was able to start employing some of the volunteers who've been helping here for free all of those years because I thought, I'm not going to employ people that I don't even know rather than employing the people who were giving of their time before all of this happened. So, of course, now Maria is here. Natty,

even Philip actually arrived. He was like the one of the last waves of volunteers and is also employed here now. But you're employing the people who work on the chateauand on the garden. So people like, Pavina, Jean Kristoff out in the gardens and in the house, Amory, Chris and Ben who are also here today. All of them are here because of you.

And I think that maybe you don't always realize, you know, you're making a change to a building in France, but you're making a huge change to people's lives and giving them employment and giving them a home here. So, thank you to all of you and a huge round of applause to all of you.

Wait a minute. I thought Skidmarks has said in the past that the staff/slaves were paid by YT and BnB revenue, and that Patreon was only for "restoration" (then later renovation) of Lielieland?

AND, Patreon paid for the ride on mower for Mummy, not for Dan.

Of course, she's recently changed the wording of Patreon to make it very vague, but if I were a Patreon, either at the pathetic event, or watching the video, I'd be questioning why I'm financially supporting Stef's servants!

I have a feeling FRK & Pavlina aren't mixing well. FRK seemed to be exerting some one-upmanship over Pavlina with her knowledge of floral design. I think FRK is getting a bit tired again of the entire shitoo charade. Any chance this is her last year at the shitoo?
Click to expand...
Well that kitchen has been her domain, fan's built her up and now with Pavlina (fan's new lovebomb focus) and Emma, she's losing her position in the shitoo 'staff' hierarchy.

If and that's a big if Marie had any self worth, she'd get out of that stagnant hole but I can't see it happening. She'll just continue being a sourface, slaving over a hot stove trying to win back fan's favour.

I wonder if Pavlina has mentioned going off to travel again and fan's on the charm offence to persuade her to stay.

Thanks ever so, @ComtesseRose for carry us forward. Budapest. 🌹 Congratulations to @Jules100 these titles tickle me. 💕 @Lady Avonlea and @graciemckitten you’re both so appreciated for your contributions.

I would like to point out that, once again, the top (three this time) post(s) are Tattlers sharing Tattler news. This group is very supportive for 15 old hags and hounds. 😉

@JackSpratt Ruby is gorgeous. So happy for you all. 💕

I am just sick to address the issue of more dead animals at her dump. Poor, poor Aloysius suffered far too long. I’m wondering if Animal Control did arrive and removed the pea chicks from that cramped, cluttered cage and helped Aloysius to be freed from pain? I’d like to think so, anyway. 😕

I know for a fact they were reported.

The Shreks brought 2 Dump patrons ? with them to the lone Dump patron day.

“We have got a couple of lovely guests with us. We got Donna and Steph who are joining us for a few days and we're going to head up to Land on Monday.” 👇👇👇
So, we brought our lovely guests uh, Donna and Stephanie up to Laand uh, for La lande days. So this year we are not volunteering because um it's in June this year and you know for this what we did do is we opened up um a window so that people who were coming to lalande could uh stay with us for a few days and we would bring them up and we had two people come and join us for that. And it's great to be back, great to see everybody and uh it's always a lovely day. Fortunately not quite as hot as last year but um it is still absolutely beautiful today.

Dump patron day footage below. Click to see Shrek visit to patron day. The Shreks seem to be nice hosts to their 2 guests.

Watch at 5:34 to see Drunkle merrily selecting desserts while Skidmark is giving her “I am a wonderful saint and I ❤ Dangerous Dan speech. “ He includes footage of the demolished dining room, not so grand salon, tulip beams, a few chickens ( how many are dead/ missing) etc. No footage of the remaining sheep. I do not believe 36 patrons made it to patron day,
