PCR tests are still an option.You can either show you've received your two shots or you can show a negative PCR test done in the last 72 hours
Thanks for that! Guess I still might get to return to Paris some day!😂

Most of France are not vaccinated, hence the tough rules to force it onto people
which seems to be working, now we're on par with Germany pretty much, and we even have more partly vaccinated people than they do with a smaller population. I wonder where we'll rank in 4 weeks when the surge of people who registered to get their first shot after they announced the health pass would be mandatory will have receive their second shot.

From the gift grab live chat...
Philip Janssen Sorry about the late video, the upload was being extremely difficult x

Get it together Philip Janssen, this is your job. Are you over worked, over whelmed or just over it??? Your fragile fingers must be tired.
Philip posted the same photo and caption of Thor 9 weeks ago. It has not gone unnoticed by the faithful followers.

Thor!

This picture has not been taken lately as Thor doesn’t have his feathers right now. 😂

Well it's not Thor at the moment as he as lost his tail feathers 😕 until his next display ! what a stunning picture tho.
It's a crap picture of Thor in his splendour. The close up didn't do it any justice. So timeline and poor picture.
Maybe Philip one needs some help from Philip 2.

I did think it was pretty conceited and arrogant at the beginning when he mentions that it's just us and "a few hundred thousand subscribers". Right now his daily flogs are averaging like 50,000 a video which is not great for someone with over 200K (bought!) subscribers.

Also, no WAY he could afford that place and the renovation costs 4 years ago, or even now. What a waste of time for the realtor showing it to him!
He does like to big himself up.

My Vlog is the biggest on YouTube! Dude! The man who rates his takeaways, has millions of views. 🤣 He is small fry, with lazy ambitions.

I totally agree, and cara has made a wise choice and a personal one if she choose not to get vaccinated, and those that did choose need to except it is her human right to choose and not judge her to be a carrier, as vaccinated people are the ones to avoid as they will be the main carriers, symptom free out and about spreading
You cannot say the vaccinated people are the ones spreading the virus, because nobody can prove it .

Is this based on 1st 2nd or 3rd covid wave
the last one (they call it 3rd or 4th wave)

I surprisingly liked the chateau in Teabag's latest video! It was a manageable size, and with ten acres and multiple outbuildings, the price was very good as well (of course will take a good million to make it what it should be!)

I think we Tattlers should buy it, hire local nubile shirtless people, many of them, to carry out our sustainable and elegant restoration and renovation in record time; with a well-developed plan for artisanal chateau product produced by locals and sold online, as well as culture/botany events/hikes and vocational training in the foregoing for locals; interesting vlogs, with plenty of old French farmers and their willow wands, and willowy hippie goat maidens, and troglodyte wolf folk lore, French grannies cooking or making liqueur, and gorgeous Charolais beauties glowing in the twilight. Us old ones could bunk on the ground floor except in the tango ball room parlor, where what have you, from tatting to bagpiping, clogging and tai chi and tattle would be taking place. Nubile worker youths at the top, nice showers, good food, fair wage. Middle aged worker bees second floor sunning themselves before going to work with the oldies at the chateau's vlogging and social media and online sales studios in the spectacularly refinished donjon.
Imagine how many shutter dogs, cheese culture envelopes, crotch-flashing tango lessons, gay travel tips, nettle beer recipes and chav hair dye kits we could sell. Not to mention all the goods we dumpster dive off Lalande. And treat in our popular €2500 a week tragic French granny tat fumigation workshops.
A huge immaculate swimming pool with plenty of shade for those of us of the pasty white Celtic persuasion. Huge immaculate wifi.
We'd scare the piss out of them.
We could call it Chateau Cancans.

Yeah, it’s a long way for Cara to have travelled especially after a tough year. Though I’m more inclined to think she hasn’t been Covid Va —cinated, and thus won’t be able to travel home through France given the French travel restrictions now, I think she hotfooted it out of there.
Ohhh maybe that’s why she’s out so fast :(

Aah my, I couldn't sleep and got up to chat a bit. And found this. My point of view is that it makes sense to get as much protection as possible. If you haven't got protection, what you doing in a war zone? And I have been in a few and it has proven to be a sound principle; I am still here in mostly one piece with every thing functioning. To me, that's the wise choice and you don't have to get shot to realise it.

Oh, OK. Is all gone now. Good, was a bit nasty.

I own a business most of us chose to get vaccinated. We’ve all had childhood vaccines and most the flu shots so why not. I’d rather not take the chance.

The vaccines may not be perfect but it's the best chance we have right now. I was certainly relieved to get my double vaccine although I still make sure that I follow all the safety guidelines. We are still wearing masks in indoor public spaces here.

- and some sunshine!

As @Marquis de Potpourri landed in Paris a few days ago what are the travel requirements at the moment in France?
This seems to be the most up to date guidance for France.

Yes, after 2 reschedules (by the pharmacy, not by me) for my second shot, I finally got it! Masks aren't required here if you have had 2 shots but I haven't seen anyone get "carded" for proof.

Morning everyone - just catching up with a coffee. Last night I went back to the Fleuries vlog to finish watching - the end is very sweet. But noticed the vlog title had changed again. This one more in line with what they vlog about. I wondered if success stories didnt like the words foraging and pro. One thing is for sure the comments held very little in praise of FRK's visit and stayed on track with what they do - because they do it themselves and well. Hydrangea Gate seems to have upset the florist cart. Well done everyone.

Thanks for the new thread @MojoDublin!

AAAnd thiiiiis iiiiis Gift Grab! *add ear-piercing laughter*

Welcome! We start with introducing today's contestants for the most plausible over the top screeches of "I love it!"
Center stage, as always, we have Stefanny! She brings a whiff of vintage with her floaty dress which was last washed in the 1970's.
Cara is there to overshadow Stefanny. Let's see how this plays out.
Sillymar with his daily glass of beer matching his red face and puffy eyes is nowhere to be seen.
We move on to Nutty who as per usual is not really following what is being said and retorts with the duck face.
Last we have a dying man in a ventilator behind the camera. I'm sorry, it turned out to be a walking mop with oversized nostrils. An easy mistake.

Let the excruciating OOHs and AAHs begin.
Let's see what's in the first box. And it's a humongous human head terracotta pot. Stefanny is finding it a little hard to tell how she loves it but luckily it will live in a dark corner of the garden.
Box two brings another poncho and, wait for it, toothbrushes! You can't make this sh!t up.
Now we suffer through sycophantic praise for the charlatan and uncover some sewing crap. I don't understand what it is but it will be thrown away for sure. Doesn't even..... THE SQUIRREL! Scream behind the camera for a postcard.

Gift for Davy but he has just left the Shitoo.
Then scraps of Chanel perfume that someone discarded. Really, they didn't like it so send it to the dump!
More stuff sent for Teabeg that he doesn't want.
And now the mop with nostrils opens.... yet more hedgehog gubbins. This time a mug.
More amazing "art". Looks like a scrap book on a frame. And it is decoupage of a mad tea party. Very apt.
Time for cheap jewellery. Nutty finds a lightbulb pendant. I wish a lightbulb would go on in her head, too.
The obligatory Spode moment follows with horrible trinket dish. And a second trinket dish.
Let's take a pause to munch some Philipino crisps before mop with nostrils gets a towel with a bunny. Not the sexy kind, just a bunny with a monocle because of a bunny with a monocle.

At this point the commentator has strained some muscles from rolling his eyes.

1846 lithograph with roses. Very, very pretentious sounding roses. She was getting her pants wet but in the end it looks very tatty.
There's a small package. Smaller than what Teabeg enjoys.
It's more seeds! No one cares anymore but she tries to make it sound like she's interested in the garden.
Line drawing of the farmhouse. Teenager level art. But guess who loves it?
Someone thinks Stefanny is doing good work with the gift grab. Oh the delusions of this person who has seen all the flogs. Ooh aah it's postcards and stolen photos made into a book. Dear Brenda style. They drag us through the past with the pics in the book. It goes on forever. And ever. And ever.

And what have we accumulated in the end? Just another abhorrent gag-inducing pile of mullock.

It's bed time for me. Time for a dose of Teabeg's daily flop. It's the best anesthetic I know. Selling it to hospitals would solve his money problems and he already has experience in the drug trade.
Thank you for taking one for the team and recapping this awkward unboxing. I only got as far as the Chanel perfume regifting and Nutty praising Fanny's ability to talk about a topic - off the top of her head. Nutty you need to get out more. What made me jump back was Cara saying she smells good without perfume and Fanny telling her yes she does smell good. I thought Cara was quite snaky with the Caddy Shaddy unwrapped team. Something is out of place here. Either Cara is sick of them, or they have one difficult superfan on their hands. Either way it is a match made in heaven! LOL toothbrushes - you are so right, you just can not make this tit up! Cheers!

Wow. These threads move fast.
At least they treated Cara decent. I do wonder if she is featured in tomorrow's vlog.
Maybe she got a panic attack or anxiety from being away from her husband. (She was squeezing that terracotta guy firmly!)
They were really nice to Cara and she seemed really nervous. I felt kind of terrified for her. I think she's so far out of her comfort zone now that it isn't just a tv show.

I haven't watched the Fleuries vlog yet. I watched Dan's first because...well...he's DAN!...LOL...then I watched the gift grab...watched til the end...it was a hardship but I slogged through...LOL...and I actually loved that picture book at the end. My daughter has made me a couple of those bespoke books and I love them. And I enjoyed the stroll through time because I actually loved the vlogs in the beginning. As for the rest, I couldn't really pay attention. I'd look up when a new gift was opened, just to see what it was but for the most part I multi-tasked at my desk, just kind of listening. Still not sure why Cara is leaving early although she did say early on that she really missed her husband.
