Luckily it didn’t burn this chateau down!

I am just about to go out and then I remembered what really got me laughing in the Fleuries - Madame Secateurs visit...the hydrangeas. Snip snip she goes - no mention of blanching the stems to stop them wilting. A waffle about the colour -"how pretty, see how preeety" then Anna asks about the soil affecting the colour. You could see FRK concentrate for a second then say something like:- ( its always hard to grasp what she is saying because she laughs through all her sentences) ...that it is cross pollination - rows of colours or some rubbish. Lots of arm waving, dismissing more like it -the fact soil does change the flowers colour. As far as I know the flowers are sterile - could be wrong. They have little nectar and yes are visited by insects but this doesn't change their colour. Anyone? ..Baffled me - that waft of info.
The acidity or alkalinity of the soil can change the color of a hydrangea.
Agree with you. Someone on here will be an expert, but I think you can change the PH in the soil to make different colours. Someone I know put razor blades under the soil near the roots, I think to encourage blue. Acidic soil may produce a different colour maybe. Anyone?

She did make a statement, though, when she asked to try on the hat that signifies chastity at the Château. I think it was some sort of message to Tattle. Should be interesting to see if she starts wearing purple dresses
I used to like her vlogs….but now the grifting is too much. And the way she spoke about having to postpone her holiday ended it for me. I haven’t been on holiday for years and she’s constantly going to Paris. So WTF.
Also, if she would split the laundry up into smaller bags she wouldn’t have to show her self dragging things. Is she attempting to get more “coffees” for the work she does there? I assume that this work is in exchange for a free place to live. And she’s very fortunate to have that as they all are. Again, I feel badly for Mick.
I had the number wrong… It was Louis the VII not Louis the XII.Your cousin is a lot older than expected, then?
Aah, just teasing you...forgive me. So, one of the Lucky Louis, is it, kept his head?
I still cannot see the attraction between Andrew and Trotter other than cash on Andrew’s end and desperation on Trotter’s end.
Oops. Louis VII.I am related to King Louis XII or that is what I am told by a second cousin….who lived at the time of the start of construction of Notre Dame.(….but then if you go far enough back in time, we probably all are related to someone famous or infamous)

Bonjour from Paris!
I quite enjoyed catching up with a massive back-read.
Did you guys enjoy MPK's last two vlogs? With 1000 fewer subscribers, his DIO channel is dying a slow and agonizing death, and thinks doing daily vlogs will save it. Come on, making coffee, showing tomatoes and cucumbers, polishing copper, and antiquing yesterday?! And antiquing last night? He might as well butterfly kiss his followers goodbye. Also, at his rate, Andressss is a very expensive cameraman.
Stephanie introduces the chateau owner as her "very good friend" and misspells his last name on the description page!
Fornese vs Fornesa
IVO: I call it my Christian hall...I have Orthodox, I have some Protestant things, a lot of Christianists....Then I put some samurais here since I don't know where to put them.
OK, smarty! Put the samurai in your Oriental room!

I literally said aloud, "don't ask her." I appreciated Philip's editing out most of her dialogue with flower picking music, but I still have the interview to look forward to.
I loved this tour. It's a lair. Dr Evil and the Illuminati.

Yes, this is correct. As @Arfarf said. It is in the soil. (And a FLORIST should know that!
).That's why in some parts of France (as an example) all hydrangeas macrophylla are blue, (I think in Brittany) or pink (for example in the Alsace region). " ...the color of many hydrangea blooms acts as a natural pH indicator for the soil in which the plant grows. Such blooms have blue sepals when the shrub grows in acidic soil, but develop red or pink sepals when grown in neutral to basic soils. The hydrangea’s bloom color reveals the pH of the soil, but with its distinguishing colors being the reverse of those for litmus paper. The hydrangea is unique among plants in this ability to indicate soil acidity. (source: https://www.americanscientist.org/article/curious-chemistry-guides-hydrangea-colors)
I once tried to bury rusty nails near my own pink hydrangeas, not much success. But there is a special fertilizer for Hydrangeas which claims to change their colour.
Its is the soil...... if you have alkaline soil the hydrangea's are pink , acid soil you get blue and white is the colour always .
I think Teabag owes him money.
South of France? They must be totally unaware of Covid figures. Bright red. Getting redder with every holiday maker arriving!
I hadn't seen FWB's vlogs until now and definitely won't be watching again. I remember seeing this on TV a few years ago though. Sadie will need a few coffees to be able to keep up with this one.
Same here, totally! Well said, @The Cheshire Cat!I know we all came here originally because of Chateau Diaries or MP but I have to say that I now find the humour, wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, empathy and life experiences of my fellow Tattlers to be infinitely more interesting. For me the vlogs are now incidental while Tattlers are the star of the show! So thanks for that everyone. Yes I've had a few but I mean what I say!
So you asked for the tour of that castle (real one) and it was delivered....i am amazed
Is that… is that reversed psychology now what you are doing?I'll do you one better...

What ever happened to the guy that wrote the murder mystery?
(Video released) Ooooh. There he is. Why am I not surprised?
Never forget, she is a Petherdick.
When a Petherdick is in need, it begs.
How can anyone expect her to be better than her brothers?
Interestingly, Mo lost his van three weeks ago and hasn't worked since. If I lost my work van three weeks ago, I'd have tried to look for whatever job is available three days later--I don't care if it's grilling burgers at McDonald's, making shawarmas or selling falafels! I'd have income in the interim and not have my girlfriend beg on Youtube.
Saddie gave away the real reason why she's begging: a holiday in Cote d'Azur. It wasn't even a Freudian slip.

Seriously, showing how to make coffee without a coffee machine and polishing some copper stuff?
He's taking his viewers for a ride, he can't be serious.
I know - Sadie is also making coffee. Maybe they are looking for sponsorship deals, Columbian coffee and Welsh coke
