Having just watched the last vlog from Marie (at x2 speed I hasten to add), I am absolutely so confused. Why oh why, have her new friends paid for a ticket for her to go back to Norway??? Is Patreon & You Tube revenue not enough!?
The life and beauty of the garden can be surveyed from within the deadly crumbling walls of the ChateauShe is truly insane to even consider this for one second without taking care of the basic needs of the building and the people inside of it itself first.
YES I watched. Can't wait to see how they cope!They've bought it now video was put up on 3rd December. Their first night in the place they all looked cold.
You don't need Patreon... we have our very lovely @Clara Burnett who will always provide feed back as and when she receives news. Tbf Patreon is just something that makes people feel as if they are getting special treatment when they're actually not, they are just getting same sh*t the rest of us get but theirs is covered in gift wrap.Well, you're in better company here.
Because she obviously did the same sob story in front of them, too of not being able to afford the tickets and acting all scared and worried because her bank card was blocked etc. So I guess instead of buying her chocolates, a book and a fragrance candle for xmas they pooled together and bought her a giftcard for Ryanair.Having just watched the last vlog from Marie (at x2 speed I hasten to add), I am absolutely so confused.

Personally I would say make yourself your priority... spend the patreon donation on you... buy yourself something really nice, save up for somthing expensive or treat yourself to some flowers each week, they really do believe their own press.. they are not above anyone. Every time you look at your gift to yourself just think 'stuff you'@SleepingBeauty123 your experience is unbelievable! But on record now on Tattle.life.
I left patreon after being attacked by another for making what I thought was a caring comment and constructive suggestion re heating. I cancelled straight away as I could see if concerns about people being warm enough resulted in abuse then my money was better elsewhere.
Your best revenge would be donating to the Fleuries!
When she did the pan about with the camera I just thought what a lot to up keep.YES I watched. Can't wait to see how they cope!

Today Squirrelboy was allergic to citrus - orange rind/peel in the cookie batter? My observation is that Squirrelboy simply claims he's allergic to any food items he doesn't particularly like.I remember somewhere in the legendry Pretty Woman film, where she (the prostitute) said 'No Kissing allowed' it made it too personal.. Although she did kiss Richard Gere when he was asleep, so maybe if she wanted him to be laid up for a day she could nibble on a nuttella sandwich then give him a good night peck. Have you ever watched Richard Gere in lip action mode... he looks to be a fabulous snogger... nothing like a good snog, (I'm reminiscing now) come to think of it didn't he allegedly have a thing for hamsters, cute little furry animals? Seriously though, these are all valid points, if someone has an allergy to certain foods that does make them ill and possibly could prove fatal would you not prepare all meals for that person in separate area, even using separate dish water and drying cloths. If these comments are read then at some point in future CD's there will be reference made to him being unwel or how his allergies cause mild symptoms... Some one has to bring this up in the comments next time his allergies are mentioned.
That is the exact reason why Nati will not allow @SleepingBeauty123 to return@SleepingBeauty123 I would contact Patreon and challenge getting blocked. You didn’t write anything that was harassing. It wasn’t violent, bullying, or sexually suggestive. Get them to reinstate you…then comment to everyone on SJ’s next Patreon about what happened and why you are leaving. And also give them the finger on your way out the door!
I only noticed 2 individuals who raised valid questions comments, but the 'Granny Brigade' quickly attacked the 'complainers'. Crazy!Stephanie Jarvis

Financial ???? ….. where ???
Those that aren’t looking at patron JAN 2022 ….
Let’s see how many roll over
You should be concerned Stephanie
They can’t be arsed to deal with you fluffing or diverting … waiting to see if the cash falls befor you give any indication of HOW the monies are spent
Was a risk to far …. They don’t belive you …. No doubt …. They will patron elsewhere …

Do you know what the time-frame will be for the Grand Salon to be finished? It will look amazing. The garden is going to be amazing. Totally wonderful! Already I am excited for the videos!

Getting there with the garden takes years but you have to start somewhere . Looking great the plans of Davey ! just one thing watching the video, not that important but caught my eye, that kitchen cupboard , the big one could need some paint on the doors and spode door knobs !

We’re in a major debate about it in the house. I think it should be repainted, but it’s the original 19th century paint so some of us think it shouldn’t be repainted. The fierce debate continues!
I think Stephanie’s generosity in saying ‘we are so blessed’ with the things that can be attained. I agree with Stephanie the follies & mill can be in the far future as everything is so costly it’s best in my opinion to pace yourself.
Or……instead of stone towers, Stone Gazebos. Four stone pillars for the corners, with a tower roof and maybe low, bench height (for seating) stone walls…..it would be absolutely lovely to sit and have tea or a cocktail overlooking the lake…a romantic meal for two or a cosy place to sit and read a book or a romantic place for a couple to stand and exchange their vows or a place to place long tables for lakeside dining………some lights strung about….saves the cost of all the stone for towers and is more useful then two enclosed towers.
Love the garden plans!!

finished especially the towers. Can you put the towers back after the lake is restored? Wondering about how far they are from the edge of the lake.

Stephanie Jarvis
That’s a very good point, I’ll speak to Davy and the lake engineers about it
so many moving pieces, dependencies, and so much excitement. And besides all the actual work, the most important part is stakeholder expectation management. You are doing great! All on top of advent!

for the second tower (in the woods) could you build the framework with wood (or steel) and make it an "outdoor" tower with lights instead of the stone? something that could be lit up at night and maybe move the bell to that tower? It might not be in line with the original history but it could be a unique artistic structure at the edge of the water...

I loved seeing the garden plans all laid out. Looking forward to seeing the update on all the projects next week as there is alot going on! I'm loving the Christmas diaries but I would love a regular chateau diaries occasionally.
All looks amazing! I’m loving the Christmas videos even if I’m a natural grinch. My only change would to be maybe once a week a bit more of traditional chateau diaries (not a criticism I just find it more interesting!)

I will be doing that - there’s a Chateau Diaries tonight!
So…how’s that downstairs loo coming? Selmar is gone so who is installing the toilet? Why are we seeing Davy’s plans again? This was already shown a couple of months ago. Also, Amaury still had his mustache which was shaved off at the end of November. How long ago was that filmed? Why can’t we get an update on the paneling that he is currently working on? Are there no regular Chateau Diaries during Advent? I’m getting really concerned that your patrons aren’t getting any answers to any of their repeated questions. This definitely didn’t seem like an update to me. Just another long video looking at Davy’s plans. Again.

#1 I thought they were waiting on coving before they could finish the bathroom, otherwise Selmar would have done it.
#2 I didn’t think Davy’s plans that were seen a while ago were anywhere near as detailed and easy to follow as those today, at least not to me. Did they say that these plans are the ones to be presented for approval to the French governing body?
#3 As for Amaury’s beard, either he’s bristling with hair follicles and testosterone, which he may well be, or that part was shot last week. Wasn’t Stephanie waiting on an update (Davy’s?) before releasing her 1st of the month video? I can’t remember what the missing piece was about.
#4 We got 3 videos today, that’s a lot. Cadeaux was edited, not live streamed. The Advent is filmed and edited daily, and it looks time intensive. She’s also signing the patron cards.
Which is all to say that I don’t expect a Chateau Diaries during Advent. I don’t want to see her wind up in the Hospital during the Advent series. Again.

Rosalind, I can appreciate your comment but all in good time, my Patreon comrade.Different strokes for different folks, right? I LOVED the long bit with Stephanie and Davy talking about all the wonderful plans for the grounds and gardens around LaLande.

Stephanie said in a previous Chateau Diaries that Dan and Amaury would finish the downstairs loo once the coving was done.

7h
Woah…everyone chill! I have questions- no harm in asking questions! Someone has asked about the downstairs loo on almost every post. I’m genuinely curious now that Selmar is not there. I’m pretty sure a toilet and sink can easily be installed without the coving being done first. I expected to hear from Amaury about how the paneling was going in the grand salon (even if we don’t get to see it yet, as it seems like it might be a big reveal once it is all done). I was seriously confused about the new paneling he was showing us. Merry Grinchmas, Patrons!

Stephanie started filming the advent a while back. And Phillip edits Cadeaux. People get all defensive when people ask questions and painting Rosalind as being a grinch I too enjoy regular vlogs in the middle of Advent. If I had to choose I would choose the daily vlog. I'm not huge on xmas myself. yes, I am Christian. But I started watching Chateau diaries because of the Chateau and everyday life. I miss the vlogs
3h
Stephanie Jarvis
The downstairs loo is waiting for the coving (though Amaury and Dan are chomping at the bit to install everything!) because I feel it’s more sensible to do it in that order. The architect contacted a plasterer for me this week, and I’m hoping to hear back from him soon
I showed Davy’s plans again because I found it so much easier to envision the whole garden by seeing it on paper, and I thought that many of you would feel the same way. But I added it to the video rather than making it a stand alone video as we have seen the plans before (though there are new changes on them now).
Amaury was filmed last week just before the blessed removal of his mustacheHe’s on holiday this week (which is why he hasn’t been in many advent videos yet). But the arrival of new panelling is an important update for patrons, and I’m very excited to show you all!
The Chateau Diaries are continuing throughout advent, once a week on a Thursday (last week was on Tuesday), and in tonight’s episode you will see an update on the work in the grand salon.
Oh great!

I love the thoughtful planning but have a serious question. I remember before Dan was hired that you said it was really hard to find a gardener. Dan is part time, Kirsty too. Are you making moves, as in trying to contact and hire a full time gardener for all this (and for planting in spring of English garden plants) bc this is a ton of time and money and it deserves the investment of full time. Otherwise it is a waste. Start looking now for one needed in spring? Or is Dan going full time?
Ahhh - but it might be worth the $5 to have my husband join and do it for me. Lol…no! I need to stop this and not give into these weirdos. At least I finally have a clear understanding of why she always starts the month saying, “Well, you know we always lose patrons at the first of the month, so I can’t give you an accounting until the second week of the month.” I always thought that was SO weird. I guess they remove the patrons who are asking questions at the first of the month. No patron for you! At least I can come here to get my questions answered. And to be reassured I am not crazy, and Amaury did not regrow that mustache overnight and that is new paneling that no one has heard of before. And no one wants to hear Davy drone on anymore. He made my husband fall asleep and snore, so I do not like Davy.That is the exact reason why Nati will not allow @SleepingBeauty123 to return

This is very weird. There's this JC who "insult" people who raise good questions. But when you click on its profile it says this : "This patron isn’t supporting any creators at the moment."

Do you think it could be someone frome the Farmhouse who "insults" non-believers?
For someone who claims that he is allergic to so many things, he still manages to put on weight. Strange. Agree it is a cover up for his dislikes.The woman is clearly los
