I laughed out loud when SJ said “this is the most Dutch thing I’ve done” while on the tandem. Really?

"I've never held a chicken before."

Maybe his interests will move beyond squirrels & hedgehogs. View attachment 637615
I have to admit..grown up with horses, cows, bulls dogs, cats , etc...and chickens...i am never afraid of a bull, ...but everything with two paws and wings give me the creeps...i never picked up a chicken , not even a dove...when i was a toddler, a huge raven once landed on my shoulder...it made me so terrified i am still not fond of birds or chickens..

I wonder, if when Phyllis and SJ are in bed together at night, the mice hear him say,
"Ooh, I've never done THAT before!"

I mean, gosh, he's never held a chicken, never rowed a boat, never cooked.....I bet he can't swim.

He never rode a tandem bike. The list can go on forever.

Lets come up with ten more things that Phyllis cannot do

And he needs to quit wearing leotards

I beg to differ. Whilst she cannot chalk those expenses up to non-profit, she will be able to write off those expenses to the bed and breakfast and Youtube - anything she buys to feature in an episode or anywhere she goes is tax deductible. If she makes a loss, it is carried forward. A good accountant will be able to write off most, if not all of it. The car insurance and gas will only not be tax deductible if the purpose of the journey is not for the YouTube channel, or the B&B - and when is that the case? Her multiple income streams are a blessing.

I loved seeing the follies at Ten Berghe. Maybe because there was no snorting and SJ was not manic.
Did anybody else hear her say: "It wouldn't be fair [To have a dog], I travel a lot. Anybody can feed chicken and sheep"
Geez SJ, while I do commend you for at least knowing you wouldn't be great with a dog, even chicken, peafowl, sheep and Ruby needs looking after, not just feeding...

what if the YouTube channel is considered marketing? wonder if they have their own marketing firm set-up? production company? catering company? types of sub companies goes on forever…

I feel very sorry for her - I wouldn't like to be in that situation.
I understand your point of view but see things very differently. If I had the talent and skills to YouTube and from that, was able to set up a Patreon account where, in return for an exclusive weekly video and a few postcards, I could earn, tax free and legitimately, well in excess of half a million dollars a year, that would please me very much indeed. I would enjoy every minute and every penny and I would not feel guilty. And if you feel sorry for her, I think it is wasted. If it all ended tomorrow (and it has lots of steam left) she would be very much quids in. There are millions of rich people making a living out of people trafficking, drug trafficking, child exploitation, prostitution, fraud, theft, porn. They live in beautiful houses, eat in the best restaurants, stay in the best hotels, have the most expensive jewellery and drive the best cars, and see a great deal of the world. I despise and grudge those people their wealth, but not Stephanie. But don't take any notice of me - I am full of contradiction - I hate the fact MP earns his living through Patreon, and the other hangers on at that chateau. I hate Phil and Angelina so we all have our blind spots.

I can tell you some shockers in my country too..... its all over the world I feel. Many people dump their elderly in them and hardly visit , if at all.

If I was one of Percy's children I would be watching her and the daughter like a Hawk !!!

Isn't there a Clara story about how her friends left their beloved dog in her charge and she in turn left Lalande with the dog alone in it for days?

Interesting conversation between Philip and Stef tonight. Philip: "WE should get a dog Steph" (Note he meant WE not YOU or LaLande should have a dog) Stephanie: "No. I go away too often." (Note she meant I cannot have a dog as I go away too often. Not WE cannot have a dog as we go away too often - signalling no long term view of relationship and he being at LaLande or viewing him as a partner. So, he may have his feet under the table and his leg over Steph but he is not a permanent fixture in her vision.

The old saying Loose lips sink ships will be SJ's downfall eventually. She's stupid enough to film her greed for everyone to see. It will bite her in the arse one of these days.

I thought she said she was allergic to dogs and cats? That's why you never see her pet Diesel or Ruby. We know Sir Snotsalot is allergic to everything (especially hard work)!

And now here come the 'geniuses' out to help their princess. FFS!!

You should get a Great Pyrenees dog!! It is a French breed, and it will hang out with your sheep and chickens all day. Not high maintenance and will protect them from predators. It’s not a breed you have to worry about leaving for periods because its main focus is the livestock.

Very good and wise, Stephanie! If you don’t have time for a dog, it isn’t fair to the dog.

The dog would not have to be a "Stephanie" dog, he could just be a "Chateau" dog. There is always someone there from what I have seen and if he were a smart dog, after time he could learn to prepare his own meals and let himself in and out. Done!

Listen moron Fortrastos, you're thinking of Lassie!

There are some great pix of the interior at Sailhant -- a fortified farm in a slightly grander setting than Lalande -- as recently renovated by the preservation architect who now owns it. The latest style furniture he's got is Louis XIII (aside from modern hand-carved neo-Gothic), which is very different from Louis Farouk. He's worked hard to get local Auvergne antiques, including 19th c bath fixtures (dazzling copper tub etc) and medieval chapel adornments.
I can't imagine an establishment further from the badly conceived, pompously, decadently, and counterfeitly (?) decorated Lalande.
What I like about the owner's account is that it's in English; has tons of pix and plans, all secrets uncovered by the professional researcher and architectural archaeologist he hired to get aaaaaalllllll the deets; deals with restorers' dilemmas such as his credo "a facsimile (of, say, "accurate" 13th c resto) is worse than the ruin".
For those of us who came to CD for the resto of a pastoral place, and stayed for the scam, this guy delivers what I was looking for in watching SJ.
I wonder, @Dippy Hippy, if these restored interiors ring a bell with you?

I must watch that... Rosamund Pike is an outstanding actess, she hit the ball out of the park in "Gone Girl".
