Well i be damned, in the patreon Oli interview I am sure SJ says she was at college with Ruth. SJ definitely states in a vlog MP and Ruth met through her (2 of my dearest friends hooked up). I'm going to have to relisten to Oli interview. Apologies for my error.I don't think Ruth was part of this Oxford set, she's a good few years younger than SJ according to this article:
Ruth's journey from prison to Provence | wellington-today.co.uk
FORMER WWN reporter Ruth Kelly has launched her debut novel.www.wellington-today.co.uk
I remember a couple of digs she gave to SJ when she promoted the book on the vlog, saying the main character was in her 40s and how "inspiring" it was that someone could find love at that age
Does anyone know if Ruth met Potty through SJ? I think people have mentioned earlier that they were friends first?

Everything has change alot to fair too them all!
They met at the chateau for sure. Potty was still with another girlfriend and Ruth was involved with someone for a long time, but not so happy if I remember correctly. She was def not from Oxford, but they met through SJ at the chateau, where she would come to party and cheat on her then boyfriend.I don't think Ruth was part of the Oxford set, she's a good few years younger than SJ according to this article:

It doesn't feel like cheating when it is with an ex, it sort of belongs to the past...no new damage is done
Shoot me, I'm not perfect. Ruth seems such a bore though, - shall we bet on how long she lasts? I put in 6 months.
Nah, she's too happy modeling for Potty.It doesn't feel like cheating when it is with an ex, it sort of belongs to the past...no new damage is done
Update: I have checked the dates, this book was written before their time at Lalande. Nevertheless, it is something of a coincidence.
Okay, so one of the caretakers of Lalande wrote an undercover book about elderly care homes (not in English).
Many have speculated here on the wealth accumulated by the Jarvis family. As I have mentioned before, I am an old bag of bones, but I did work in London in the 80's as a Commercial Mortgage Broker. What I can also tell you about these "granny farms" is that the allowance to feed an "inmate" (as many of the investors referred to them) was GBP1.50 per day. There was a specific bank which was known to approve these loans, as other, more credible, banks would not have approved a business plan incorporating that kind of neglect. I was not directly involved with these loans but one of my close colleagues was - and deeply affected by it. I left the industry when Kuwait was invaded to go back to university but I can tell you that people with no knowledge or training were making a lot of money on these "granny farms". The only requirement was to employ a number of individuals with appropriate education, I cannot remember the ratio to patients, but I do remember that it was anything but generous. In sum, I think the agents on tattle are pretty much on the money when it comes to speculating about how Derek and Isabelle became wealthy.
So, why do I bring this up now? Well, the fact that one of the caretakers of the chateau (who is also a writer) had investigated elderly neglect in his own country, is an extraordinary coincidence. I wonder if what he heard, witnessed or experienced at Lalande triggered unpleasant memories of his investigative project some years earlier?
Well done Clara, a picture is emerging, and it is one that deserves to be in the attic.

Clara's come to spill the beans and aren't we all lapping them right up! Haha
I'm pretty curious about SJ's last known bf... a younger guy in his 20s that she broke up with maybe a couple of years ago? He's been referred to a couple of times, including by Ruth!

Was this Jamie .... one of volunteers ? I recall she instagrammed herself after the break up reclining on a day bed. I think he features in one her earlier vlogs (perhaps where she is in the kitchen talking about life at Lalande) there is a short clip of him , tall, dark, bearded dancing in the area cuisine to the back of the kitchen ....
Marie and Jamie were an item for a while during her first workaway at the chateau. She blogged about it.
The fire was outside the guardians house, where my friends lived and where Nic and Marie are settling in now. Outside that house are the main connections for all things electrical in the chateau. The whole thing burned down in January 2017 because of bad maintenance and instead of getting it fixed instantly she left things unattended for more than a year later, with only temporary fixes made by the firemen and a sign 'danger de mort', danger of dying, regardless of lived there she couldn't be bothered.

They don't have a YT channel.
She wasn't cheating with an ex but with any available guys at the chateau at the time, while her boyfriend was at home in London.It doesn't feel like cheating when it is with an ex, it sort of belongs to the past...no new damage is done
Agreed - or "Venetian crown while the chateau burns down"

Indeed, no youtube. They have a website called domaine les pierres and instagram. All rather in the open and easy findable
That must be why Ruth is so camera shy now... she was worried this would all come out in the open. She will be very embarrassed if reading this and I wouldn't be surprised if we see very little of her in future.
