Half n half

and most of them are looking anywhere else, and not into the camera.
Great photography skills

If Potts took that picture, I guess we're lucky he took the lens cap off! When I saw the picture, I noted that it was primarily the la Lande crew not looking at the camera (Gerry's always hamming it up), so you can tell they're over it, not really into it!

I wonder if fan is

Also Claire Butcher mentioned they served alcohol to their B&B guests because they have a liquor license.Any bets fan does not have one?

Dumpees at the one day Patron event, Skidmark claimed that there were 70 people at the lunch. I believe she was lying, as usual.There were no where close to 70 people at the lunch. SKidmark gave herself a LieLande upgrade again.

1. Dish pan Dave
2. hyper Hanni
3. Andi and man friend
4. FRK and person helping in the kitchen
5. permasmile
6. the 2 Shreks ( and 2 guests/ patrons)
7. Sabine the dump hair collector
8. Pavlina
9. Ben the electrician
10. chris the plasterer
11. Amaury
12. Herr Nutty
13. Drunkle who was in charge of handing out champagne
14. Chantal
15. Chamberpottie
16. Skidmark
17. Mummy ( showing of gifted Madame du Versailles zippered pouch she received from a guest)
18. Percy
19. brother Gerry ( who called himself Scott Mann, and has given the name Scott boy to Percy)
20. the fake fiance Loser Baldilocks Janssen
21. Rosie the Dump dishwasher/ cleaner/ dishpan Dave wife?
22. Dangerous Dan
23. Brian
24. Emma the B and B handler/ breakfast maker, etc.
25. Ombeline

That's 30 people according to this list according to graciemckitten's list. Plus there was Ron the Chateauwhore, along with Chelsea Flower Show Andy and his partner. That's a total of 33 (50%) of the people in attendance.

Why does fan inflate the size of the gathering when she could easily host a pleasant day and tasteful lunch for just 30 patron guests without most of the hangers-on? fan probably justifies it by thinking patrons want to meet all the actors in her soap opera, but hosting just the patrons would involve less food, less cost, and be more intimate and enjoyable for her patrons.

Except it would be more work for fan. She & Baldilocks are too lazy to actually lead the day and handle the guided tours on their own. fan prefers staff do all the work. God forbid fan assemble a flower arrangement - that's below her elevated station. fan prefers to sit on her ass in the cool Winter Salon pretending she's Lady Muck!

The Shrek’s drove 3 hours each way (6 hour round trip) on Monday to attend Patreon Day. What a waste of time and petrol.

I believe the only reason they attended is because Steve is still holding out hope he may get paid for the work he’s done on the ‘never to be seen’ tiles. large chance Steve - you’ll never see a dime out of fan!

At least he monetized the trip by using it as a paid excursion for his B&B guests. Permasmile did some jewelry business as a side hustle whilst she taught tile painting. Good for them!

There's a case to be made that Scotman wore the worst outfit (even worse than Safari Ken). Imagine wearing this on a hot 30+ summer day.....the stink! fan, I would have stood as far away as possible in the group photo, not sat on his lap.

 

[Lady Avonlea]

I find it curious that Annalise has been MIA for the past few months. She and the boys haven't been around very much since fan announced her monthly dinners with Dan.

She and the young boys were also not present at the Dump to watch Dangerous Dan present Skidmark with flowers either or to mingle with Sabine.

Is scot man trying to earn points with tattlers, he's no bonnie Johnny (who had a baby with his new wife recently).

It is Monday ? The boys would be in school. ? is that where Anslise also works / helps ?

 

[LittleMore Cottage]

Agree..Half the speech was about Dan. Snorts was an after thought, barely mentioned.

She also didn't mention Dave, you know the one who.washes all the hand wash.dishes, cleans rooms scrubs toilets, and his wife who cooks and made the cheese board, she is also a cleaner. And no Annelise??? Who did Skidmark s hair??? She could not have dome it herself. And with all the friggin porcelain they did not have side plates???? Too lazy to.go.get them.because they forgot. Snorts you had one job!!!

 

[Lady Avonlea]

True, but she'd often be there the day before colouring fan's hair and getting it all set for the big day. It's been a while since we've last seen Annalise colour fan's hair.

So I know some of us tartlets are patrons. How did we not know about the patron days date? Was it kept secret from everyone but the highest paying super fans?

 

[JackSpratt]

Also Claire Butcher mentioned they served alcohol to their B&B guests because they have a liquor license.Any bets fan does not have one?

A penny to a pinch she doesn't, otherwise we'd have had a dramatic vlog about the nasty French authorities making her do it and all the panic and anguish it caused her.

Also didn't Clare have to take a course to do with it as well.

I don't know if Clare had to take the course - if it was required, she would have.
I definitely know the Puy Vidal ladies took the course because they did a vlog some time ago about their Visa, the requirements they had to set up their business, and that course was specifically mentioned.

This is what I've been pondering for the past few days. How come no one knew?

Lovely addition to Chris the plasterer’s phone. Keeping it klassy, Chris. He later dances and sings the song, ice, ice, baby. He is another one at the dump who is a legend in their own mind.

Oh he is so up himself... he is complimented on looking trim and agrees.. apparently he's been working out. New shirt new me allegedly.. the shirt does not maketh the man Chris. If he was chocolate he'd lick himself.

 

[Freesia54]

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!

From what I can gather from that little speach of hers is that patreon pay the wages for everyone, even Flip... I think patreon need to have a time and study motion put in place to see exactly what each employee does with their contracted hours. It seems to me very little work is done for the salaries paid. Princess and Flip are hardly ever there so what does he receive a salary for?

Our upcoming weather, there have already been some fields that have caught fire. I have a stroppy dog because she wants to go for a walk and doesn't like that I've said no.
