Leonidas is excellent! The husband of my old boss worked for a Belgian company and he always took an annual trip there right after Thanksgiving. My boss always gave everyone who worked for her a box of them for Christmas, as he'd bring them back from Belgium. I worked for her for eight or nine years and I always looked forward to that box of candy! This was sometime back in the late 1990's.....you couldn't buy Leonidas here (that I know of), but now you can. It's sold online, of course, but also Macy's, a large, national department store here, carries it. That small, gold rectangular box was around $50 US last year....I don't know how much it is now.

Sad news to share with you, Leonidas closed a lot of stores in the Netherlands. Depending on the box and chocolates selected you can easily pay arround 100 euro's for a large box of Leonidas chocolates.

Story time: Leonidas and his brother were Ottomans from Cappadocia region, belonging to the Greek orthodox church (Ottomans registered people based on their religion not their race) . Somewhere late 1800's he moves to US, continue to make sweets. Then early 20th century, he attends a fair in Belgium, wins a gold medal at the fair and opens a shop. The rest is history. (The amount of case studies I did during my uni years are ridiculous).

Hi Tattlers, Marquis' wife here!

Quick update:
A few days ago, before the humanitarian pause, my husband sent me this post-workout mirror pic before he went to his service area.
View attachment 2598483 q

15 hours later, he sent me this.
He and his teammate were helping a wounded IDF soldier when he got shot in the calf by a Hamas militant.
Thank God the bullet did not hit his fibula but it has a hairline fracture. I don't want to bore you with more details, but the doctor said he's glad my husband built a "sturdy gastrocnemius muscle."
He is doing well and is expected to recover quickly.

BTW, the baby is doing great!
Thanks for your positive thoughts and prayers.

Sorry for the derail. Now let's Tattle on!

I'm sorry the @Marquis de Potpourri was injured. Happy to hear he is healing quickly ❤
 
Where John's chateau was clearly shown on a vlog this week does anyone in the area recognize it and know the name or John's surname. I know I asked before but since Snorts & Lancerat seems keen on John maybe just maybe Snorts has recognized Fanny's used by date and is thinking of moving on!

They are the sort of chocolate you buy if you have to do "Kris Kringle" and you dislike the person you are buying it for ! ;):love:

I think Miss Chatelaine is looking for a sugar granddaddy to romance and move in with, or, at a minimum, looking for a chateau with lots of spare bedrooms where he could stay if kicked out by his darling Fanny.

Let's be honest - the Shrek's are slowly decorating (and I use that term loosely) their chateau, but not renovating it.

The Shreks have learned from Fanny‘s success in ignoring promised renovations.”I thought renovations meant decoration ( painting, crafts, antiques, auctions, china, glasses, and curtains)!”

Here's me hoping he goes back to his grandparents or parents with his ... oh forgot it's already tucked :sneaky: between his legs !

What did Ratso eat off the kitchen floor? Fanny is desperately trying to ditch the phrase waddles and replace it with the word “ walkies.”

She shows a portion of the courtyard. Click below. At 2:35 in the video, she shows the orange fencing.

Dave had to fix the Wi-Fi for half of the Dump.She purchased over 1400 plants from Davy. She is extremely smug about her grifted plants.

In so many things Fanny & Snorty are all about quantity vs. quality (ex: plants, porcelain, clothes, botox, hair implants).

I believe Sgirl, aka Fanny, posts on Dan’s comment sections under chateaulady. What do you think. It sounds like her and Sgirl has disappeared. I think Fanny is all over his comment section.

You are mad you flit from job to job the garden should be the last thing to do soon you will be under snow and unable to work and all that wood will be saturated , and the the choice of shrubs is dull.

You need to rewatch videos as numerous times one can see how close the neighbors are

As usual Dan, it's looking great. But, I'm a little disappointed that there wasn't a single fruit tree. After all, you can't eat privacy. And as for beating The Chateau Diaries well, they received a Lot more plants than you did, and did you notice the beautiful fruit trees along with the many flowers and hedges, climbing roses, I think they've got you there.

Where is all the water coming from to care for this massive planting? All those shrubs need to be watered in well now and for the next year. As I recall, France had a VERY dry summer this year.

The plantings are food for the soul. Dan will be living in the yurt for a few years and the man needs the balance between the stone of the chateau, the living garden, future water feature, and the cozy fire of the yurt. Dan, enjoy.

or Kat?
 
Yew, jasmine, whatever.......roses, even.

I was dismayed to see that (again) small perennials are being planted in Stephanie's English garden. Given the lack of success the last time Davey ordered this size, why do it all over again? To hear Davey say larger plants, which cost 4 times as much aren't "worth it" is disappointing.

She is throwing money away, but I suspect that's the point, huh? These Patrons want to see something, anything, that translates to their financial support.

Sounds like she is planting flowers for a chateau diy segment on the chapel restoration. She will showcase her English garden by the chapel.
