I used to quite like Marie, but she got boring. However, I want to defend her here against those who attack her over grammar and when she speaks english. Here's a simple question, hows your Norwegian? Mine is non existant, so please cut her some slack.I wanted to root for FRK, now that she was doing well and away from the HMN. Now it's just gone downhill for me.
I can give FRK a pass regarding pronunciation, spelling - even though it does come across as unprofessional, and dyslexia.
Living in a country for 9 years and still having a limited vocabulary, it's just not good enough. I will say that, as we do say the same about La Jarvis' French being in France for 16 years. Besides as a florist she should have some knowledge of the botanical terminology. I could not imagine her say orange flowers about Nasturtium over and over...
Having people bail her out, when she ought to put on her big girl panties and sort out her stuff. Her mother lives in the UK, did she employ tough love on FRK?
Starting a business must be extremely hard, and everybody has to make sacrifices. One can't expect to have everything, if travelling home was so important, she should have put money aside, in case something happened - and something did indeed happen.
I fear FRK is the type of person who will have a huge mental breakdown before she will sort out her life, starting from scratch. Maybe in the end, that would be the best thing for her, maybe it'll make her more responsible.
They are disjointed, because they are thrown together last minute. She can't use the prerecorded stuff because of the boyfriend that "suddenly" came out of the closet. Nutty and Armoir are not in these vlogs because they are the only ones doing actual work and since they started dating need more privacy.I was wondering that myself I think these were done ages ago in the fall or summer with random people that happened to be at shit too they must all be off on holiday again with Anne Marie and nutti holding down the fort. Each vlog has seemed very disjointed
My crystal ball tells me that she'll get all of Davey's stuff done and then not hire more gardeners to maintain it and it will go to shit. What Kirsty was doing today, trimming the hedges in the enclosed garden, will have to be continuously done or it will be overgrown in a very short time. But that's kind of her modus operandi isn't it? There is so much going to rack and ruin in that "wanna-be chateau", (read farmhouse here).The whole garden thing Davy has planned for her is outrageous. Spending that kind of money on something that does not have to be there yet, as the HMN itself needs so much work done first, is truly evidence of SJ's megalomania. Her patrons should be extremely scared for what's coming their way as they are the only ones who are going to pay for it. The amount she is wheeling in at the moment pales in comparison to what she needs to make this happen, not just the construction of it but think about its maintenance. It's not just a one time thing too, she will need to be making an insane amount of money each month. She is already struggling to come up with content at the moment. It's just unsustainable, all of it. I think an intervention is long overdue and probably too late already: this woman is going to destroy everything she says she loves about her shittoo.
Oookkkkkayy SO really.... the architect didn't know where the beams/load bearing walls/headers/what you like to call beamsThanks for sharing!
---------------------
Wow! That plan for the garden is so ambitious. Has SJ or Davey mentioned the total cost of that enormous project? Sounds like a million Euro project! I feel bad for the majority of patrons, poor grannies living on pension bankrolling the renovation and upkeep of an entire chateau estate which many of them won't even get to enjoy in person! Makes me angry!

You are going to need to maintain a minimum of four gardeners to keep the outdoor work under control. Awesome plans!

I love that you have a detailed plan for the grounds, but I would love for you to ensure the interiors are renovated and finished whilst you have maximum funds (not to say your support will be reduced). Get Natti and precious Gerry's apartments completed. The downstairs Loo, HEATING sorted, windows, etc. Glad to hear you plan on a more detailed update next week. Hope Advent isn't too crazy, enjoyed having more premieres this week. I know it takes a lot of time, but part of the magic is sharing it with the Chat community.
ConcubineI wonder what he puts down as his job on his tax return... if he even Does pay tax and file a tax return?
And, let's say, she does have capable gardeners, what would she do with the enormous amount of vegetables you could harvest from all those veggie plots? More that what she and her crew and B&B guests need. Become a market lady? Start a chutney production?My crystal ball tells me that she'll get all of Davey's stuff done and then not hire more gardeners to maintain it and it will go to shit.

No worries… I think we are describing the same pronunciation, but just in a different way.Hmmmm I guess I don't get it as I don't know your accent....to me paw and flaw are pronounced like "awwwww" like you'd say when seeing a cute baby or something...I guess, depending on where you're from, words are pronounced differently. I had a friend from Massachusetts who pronounced car like cah and bar like bah...I loved listening to her talk. I was born and raised in Texas and there they say car like coere...they're crazy things, accents....I think I didn't write that Texas car right...LOL...another different example...my sister had a VERY pronounced Texas accent. Thank goodness I lost mine (except when I'm around my Texas kin....Where I'd say "I just saw an old friend" and she'd say "I jist seen a old friend"....same sentence, different accents....Oh hell, I'm not making any sense. I think I need to go to bed...LOL...Just ignore me...
Agree whole heartedly!Anna and Philip are the best!!
Me too!!
He has the physique of a Biro pen refillReally, looks more like a camel toe to me from here !View attachment 913588View attachment 913589

The lady on the right is Steph's grandmother. Isabelle's mother.is the right one a sister too?? i guess..... they all have the same snout..
In the middle. On the right, Isabelle's mother. On the left, Isabelle.Which one is Amaury's Mum ?
Exactly! She could use the pre-recorded footage and easily just edit out all the lies, half-truths, and “smoke and mirrors”…oh, wait a sec …there wouldn’t be any footage left!!!I don't quite understand why the pre-recorded advent vlogs can't be used. She might have made a comment about his n hers bedrooms perhaps in one or two, but normal day to day interactions wouldn't suggest a relationship either way.
Thanks. Isabelle's sister is 10 years younger than Isabelle.She's sitting on the far left at the kitchen table in this vlog.

Only one sister.Lovely! We have so many experts in this thread!
I really thought there are more sisters... how many brothers do they have? I think SJ mentioned she has 17 cousins or something like that... who produced the rest of Cuzs?
If he legally "employed" by Lalande and lives there, he might get some kind of welfare from teh French system too (I'm thinking of RSA for example). He would be entitled to as an European citizen living in France and being "employed" there but not getting enough money etc.My guess is that he's already on some kind of welfare from the Dutch social security system.
Det er ikke det bedste eksempel, du bruger.I used to quite like Marie, but she got boring. However, I want to defend her here against those who attack her over grammar and when she speaks english. Here's a simple question, hows your Norwegian? Mine is non existant, so please cut her some slack.
I agree, she seems quite down to earth and natural which shows off how fake Pathetic really is.What a weird thing that from all the Christmas blogs going on, I am enjoying Sadie’s! I would happily watch Pa Petherick hack down an old pot and re-pot trees all day as opposed to the mad house where almost everyone dances on my nerves!
I do agree she's vulnerable and I wonder how long her friends in Haworth will support her.? I was rooting for her too when she left Lalande and I agree she may have some sort of crisis, but it may not be a good thing for her to have a crisis. Having a mental breakdown is devastating in every way, and doesn't usually help the underlying problems . I used to work in the mental health services, and I don't think she's got serious mental health problems, but rather emotional issues related to her childhood which may have left her with some difficulties.I wanted to root for FRK, now that she was doing well and away from the HMN. Now it's just gone downhill for me.
I can give FRK a pass regarding pronunciation, spelling - even though it does come across as unprofessional, and dyslexia.
Living in a country for 9 years and still having a limited vocabulary, it's just not good enough. I will say that, as we do say the same about La Jarvis' French being in France for 16 years. Besides as a florist she should have some knowledge of the botanical terminology. I could not imagine her say orange flowers about Nasturtium over and over...
Having people bail her out, when she ought to put on her big girl panties and sort out her stuff. Her mother lives in the UK, did she employ tough love on FRK?

I fear FRK is the type of person who will have a huge mental breakdown before she will sort out her life, starting from scratch. Maybe in the end, that would be the best thing for her, maybe it'll make her more responsible.
