‘Let's try, let’s tryyyyyyyy’ exclaimed Fanny

Try what you may ask ?????

Renovate?
decorate?
Fumigate?

Mais non, let’s try to match the yellow plates bought at enormous cost to patrons, to the Louis feckin whatever plates for dinner.

WTAF is she on ? She has totally lost the plot

the editing was abysmal, the content shite and FGS you stupid women, once again, put Lancelot on a safety harness

I get the feeling that SJ would be happiest living in a hotel room. That's possible is it not? Don't some really wealthy people just live in hotel suites?

If mine had an ocean view I'd quite happily live in a hotel room.... I just need loads of money and my bags would be packed in a flash.

The earrings are naff. They look to be the creation of an amateur jeweller and one-offs. A mix of pearls, faux cameo, and something else. They are the equivalent of a charm bracelet. Perhaps something specially acquired through -- or even crafted by -- Permasmile (who deals in Wedgewood-style cameos); or else from etsy. Likely a gift from Snorty. Blurred because he thinks they're actually worth the high price the patreons he paid for them.

They don't hang straight, a big give away that they are not quality.

It doesn't seem to matter what she does or doesn't do, she gets carte blanche every time from these crazies.

And what is it with that Andi, is she the resident dial a Dutch person when they've run out of people in the shitoo to make it look full of Love, Life and Laughter. She always seems to have just turned up and is about to leave but then stays for dinner..........ahhh I get it another freeloader?

Grant looked bored stiff... There are no 'men' around to have any banter with, he's surrounded by women, yes I'll include Poodle in with this, as I'm sure Grant would not discuss porcelain over a bottle of beer with the twonk... wonder what his daughter is doing to entertain herself?

I've never understood Andi either. She always has a surprised look on her face, and she's way too agreeable for my taste, always nodding yes to everything said but never has anything to say herself. Must be pretty bored with her life to be driving down to the dump now and then to do the odd cleaning job and a sketch or two.

I don’t think it was all the same day and cynical me doesn’t believe those are Snorty’s parents, but friends of Andie’s. More timey-wimey from Fanny and I don’t trust any of her timelines.

May 1, when they visited Chateau Chambord Chateau was a Wednesday. The drive to Chambord from the HMN is 2.5 hours one way. Believe they stayed in the Loire and may have met Snorty’s parents for dinner that night, but don’t believe they or his parents came back to the chateau on the Wednesday evening.

The visit to Limoges is 90 minutes each way. Don’t see them driving back to Lalande on the Wednesday night then getting up and driving again for the day on Thursday down to Limoges for shopping and lunch (Even for porcelain), and then back to the HMN for dinner. Given they don't get up until noon and left late to travel to the brocante sale, it's unlikely that Snorty & Fanny drove from HMN-Chambord-Dinner-HMN and then the next day drove from HMN-Limogoes-Lunch-HMN-Dinner.

FRK also said something about the flowers arriving on Tuesday, so I think Fanny and Snorty were gone most of the week between April 29 - May 3.
.
I’m also not sure they had any guests at the shitoo last weekend (May3) and instead Fanny & Snorty headed off to the south of France. Someone, likely Potty, posted a false review from Ron Robertson-La France, pretending guests had been at the shitoo. Fanny loves playing these time games because she thinks she’s being clever, and that’s why her editing takes forever.

Another question? How does she keep up with all the lies? How does she keep up with the trips , The shopping ? the dinners the ,fake timeline?

Who's the man at 13.22 in the back right hand corner, a beer in hand, standing next to Marie, as Marie bends down to give attention to Lancelot?
It's not Grant. He's next to the sideboard.

This guy? I thought it was Grant at first.

?
It's not Grant. He's next to the sideboard.

Ratso is not in the room. I don't think he is allowed to run around in the "dining room" because he pulls on the tassels at the back of the chairs; which is why he's usually carried in there. The golden retriever is definitely not Molly. It must belong to the mystery couple (who I am not convinced are Snorty's parents). I'm very surprised Fanny didn't make a point to introduce one of Ratso's doggy visitors and show scenes of them playing together.

@Lochness Monster -- Lochie --, I just read your earlier post commenting that this is not Molly. ❤ ❤❤ I am many pages behind.

Look at all my porcelain. Blah blah blah. At least Dans show is interesting. Getting mighty desperate when you have to pull out the china. I've never seen a straight man so giddy about flower pots and porcelain??? How about an actual renovation video of your doing Stephanie. Must be too busy taking another "frugal" trip somewhere with another x.

I don't understand why people watch something that obviously makes them unhappy. And then they attempt to hurt those people, who are truly doing no harm, just living their lives the way they choose to. Maybe it's time to unsubscribe and find another vlog that is more suitable to your tastes

Will there ever be a moratorium on buying dishes? I'm sure there are other things that are sorely needed rather than more dishes...it's getting a bit tedious and smacks of excess and over indulgence. The chateau already has so much that overflow is given to the brocantes. For those of us struggling to scrape by in this economy, it's becoming increasingly difficult to watch. We all like pretty things, but at some point - enough is enough.

What's the deal with blurring your earrings?

I’ve noticed Lancelot’s eyes are runny. Is he allergic to something?

IT IS THEIR CAR

Of course it‘s the loons car. No one with any common sense would lend someone else their car, let alone a Porsche and take on that kind of liability. The grifters would have to be insured on the owner’s policy. Not a chance in hell did that big boy let her drive his car for all this time. Fanny Fraud ain’t that special. Then there’s maintenance, not exactly the kow’s forte. These two trashy people are blatantly rubbing their grift in the faces of their patrons. Too bad so many of them buy every load they dish out. Truly disgusting.

Fanny is full of .

Here is how he describes his channel ( started in the past few weeks)
I've created this channel to talk about life in France from the perspective of an American who fulfilled a near life-long dream to do so. I have many interests, including architecture, fine arts, antiques (particularly French), gardening, travel, table arts (arts de la table), and may delve from time to time into philosophical

I think someone needs to be sent off to the funny farm. Call the men in white coats and make sure they bring their strongest straight jacket. Got a feeling this one could be a wriggler.

Take a look at the screenshot were Stephanie has blurred out her earrings. A person in the comments posted that they thought they were Wedgewood earrings that have been blurred out earrings with Wedgewood cameos in them can run anywhere from close to $100 to over 1400+ dollars euros. I have a feeling they must have been an expensive auction buy but she does not want to have tracked by us or other viewers And the price paid revealed ( which would make one think that it was an expensive purchase.) She has intentionally blurred out the cameo to make it difficult to discern the pattern.
What do you think? Can anyone figure out where they were purchased or the price paid? If they were inexpensive, sure wouldn’t have bothered to blur themView attachment 2926358 q

I’ve noticed this for a while. It’s a filter or setting Stephanie uses most of the time whilst filming herself, she’s not trying to hide the earrings. I can understand wanting to film yourself with the best possible technical assistance to enhance your appearance, but she only uses it on herself. Everyone else gets the standard recording settings. It is most noticeable when she has dangling earrings (super noticeable with these long cameo earrings) or when she has her hair up with a few loose pieces and of course the background is blurry. It’s in just about every CD.

I don't understand why they don't do soft tacos instead of those baked things - they looked unappetizing. I haven't ever seen fried or baked tortillas served in any of the food trucks or taquerias on the West Coast of the US where all the food is made and served by Mexicans. They haven't a clue! I'm really not that offended by the radishes, if Mexicans grew them, they would probably use them. They are very thrifty with food. If they want to be truly authentic at the dump, they should go to the garden and gather some insects and grubs to fry up, very ecological and money saving too!

I expect those crispy baked tacos are from the Old El Passo range and were going cheap because they had a short expiry date. I have never, ever seen anyone buy them in the supermarket and they do always go into the short date sell off cheap bin.

It's going to be a long two months Grant-not quite the fun place it used to be hey

Yet no videos... LOL.

Friends of Andie's is more likely. Remember, the gullible cult followers don't read Tattle and have never seen PhiPhi Senior and Mama PhiPhi, it would be very easy for Fanny to lie and say "Oh they were here" and show somebody different.

IG Throwback Friday

No idea what this is about. Drumming up support maybe ???

****Edit sorry @C'est moi didn't see your post. Great minds though****

 

[Freesia54]

crikey that jewellery is hideous. Or maybe just because it's on Fanny's ears.

I don't buy expensive earrings.. I tend to lose one, so as long as they don't turn my ears green, cheap n cheerful do for me.

The Chelsea Flower Show isn't until next week. What will the gruesome twosome be up to this weekend?

My bet is the on-site auction at the Château de Vinzelles on Saturday, May 11. The preview was yesterday and today. It's only a three hour and twenty minute drive east of Lalande; just an hour longer drive than Chambord was. Vinzelles is 23 km south-east of Cluny, which would make for an interesting side-trip to vlog about -- to further connect Lalande's chapel to the glorious legacy of French religious architecture. This is also a chance to go wine tasting and stock up Lalande's wine cellar.

Fanny and faux fiancé wouldn't pass the chance to nose around another chateau and purchase anything and everything from it. I won't go through the futile exercise of guessing what they covet and could possibly bid on, since they frequently make random and redundant purchases. But there are Limoges plates, a Villeroy and Boch service, plenty of glass and crystal, faux bamboo chairs, assorted bric-a-brac, etc. If they don't attend in-person, I'm sure Snorts will bid on something online.
