Here we go, Stephanie.
OmG you're absolutely right! SJ must have this. For 4999€ its a bargain.I am waiting for a Dolce Gabanna Smeg fridge to appear at the chateau.
Is there a link to Brenda's Etsy page or what's her shop called? Must check it out. If she's using Oliver's or someone else's artwork, I am sure they could sue her for infringement of intellectual propery laws.
Brenda Gibbons is an amoeba, I fear the whole concept of IP and copyright goes over her head... but where is Nik and MP in all this? Surely they have the wit to understand that there is theft afoot?Here is her link to her site. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/HomecoutureGifts?ref=l2-about-shopname
So beautifully put, Mojo, I think this is one of the most perfect descriptions of SJ I have ever read, it is almost Joycean; like a line out of Ulysses. That stream of consciousness approach also helps us visualize the enormous pile of woodworm infested, flea-eaten, mangy offcasts being gilden and strategically placed next to vulnerable artwork and structurally significant beams. The irresponsible way SJ treats this chateau is almost infantile... but I do not blame her for this. She has been indulged her entire life, and serious responsibilities are too plain, tiresome and dull for such a sparkling personality. Chateau de La Lande needs an adult at the helm.... whilst squeaking at more Brocanteuse shite...
True, but she does have a nice singing voice, too. I believe she is somewhat trained, too. Philippe the same. I would be glad if I could sing harmonies at all.I really don't get all these comments about Cat's singing, it was SJ singing all the high/loud/dominant/melody/soprano part not Cat, Cat was just the quiet/low background bass harmony like PP, I think you've mistaken SJ for Cat. I'd know SJ's soprano tone anywhere, I've heard her sing enough times, plus you can tell by watching them who is singing what. In any event Cat is not a soprano so would not have had the melody part in a SATB harmony such as that.
There is no corner in the chapelDoes anyone else feel that the ‘nativity’ should not be on the altar? In every church I have been in ( mainly Catholic) the nativity scene is in a corner of its own. Maybe things have changed - it’s been a long time.....
Precisely my point above, if she sees this, she will want it... "it would be paaaarrrrrfekt in the kitchen!"OmG you're absolutely right! SJ must have this. For 4999€ its a bargain.

Let's hope so, Brenda sees an easy way to make money and rip everyone off. I wonder when the magic will start to wear off?Brenda Gibbons is an amoeba, I fear the whole concept of IP and copyright goes over her head... but where is Nik and MP in all this?

Agreed, that was tacky!Besides all this comparing Picasso with Caravaggio malarkey, what bothered me most was the opening of the Advent gifts in the chapel. It cheapened an otherwise beautiful moment for me...
French tradesman are a freaking nightmare. I know, I’ve been there. That’s why Dick Strawbridge brings tradesman over from England to work on his place. Brit tradesman working in France are generally a cut above the rest and work hard because the ex-pat community on which they depend is small and word gets around if they do a bad job. The language helps too.Advent vlog 9.
More and more people in the comments asking why Lalande never hire French tradesmen.
There will be a Q and A soon. Maybe Stephanie will answer their questions.
Like this British guy sweeping the chimneys.
Let's hope he knows that he needs to give them an official and mandatory certificate to prove that the sweeping has been done for their home insurance.
Yeah that was weird. Also Marie didn't get ine6and disappearedBesides all this comparing Picasso with Caravaggio malarkey, what bothered me most was the opening of the Advent gifts in the chapel. It cheapened an otherwise beautiful moment for me...

Yes, SJ was singing the soprano part . You can easily recognise her rather harsh tone in her upper register. Cat's voice is far more mellifluous, with a richer tone - certainly preferable qualities to high/loud or dominant. She was singing in harmony with the others rather than trying to "overpower them." but it was very easy to hear her understated, effortless harmonies. I don't think that anyone has suggested that Cat was a soprano or has mistaken her beautiful voice for that of La Diva Jarvis! I would really love to hear a solo from Cat.I really don't get all these comments about Cat's singing, it was SJ singing all the high/loud/dominant/melody/soprano part not Cat, Cat was just the quiet/low background bass harmony like PP, I think you've mistaken SJ for Cat.
