Ahhhh....that's what Status Retail was! I saw that when I did a quick look, Started in June 2015, dissolved June 2016. I am not understanding one of the notices, which says: Upon dissolution all property and rights vested in, or held in trust for, the company are deemed to be bona vacantia, and accordingly will belong to the crown.

I understand what it means, generally, but don't understand how this applies to the company they started. Was is mandated to be dissolved? Was it like a bankruptcy?

You can see everything about this particular company here:

Very, very interesting, thank you. Is it possible the Poufs fleeced Stephanie and gave her the car? Trying to figure why they would wish to cut all their videos featuring her and Lalande? She fleeced them, hasn't paid for the car?
Also, vv interesting, Fanny sans filtre, why it's always instructive to look at other peoples' vids of her and Lalande.
Good pickins, yum.

Is honey-roasted duck three ounces of roasted duck with honey poured on the plated slice?

I am quite impressed.. every detail of the workshop is taken into account. I bet the food will be delicious-- no splitting peas and blueberries. If I could afford it, I would sign up

Can’t wait to watch… I must confess I still enjoy their videos.

BTW, @Frenchie0810 dear, you are soon to become a VIP!!!! 🥳
Your next post will be your 1000th!
How exciting!
Congrats in advance!

Well......Marie says there are haricot verts on this plate. Yes, I see three, which I'm pretty sure is just one French bean cut into thirds. At least she didn't put any radishes on the plate.

And she said it had a "comfy onion"? I see a quarter of a shallot!

Shameful!

My grandma used to have a peeler with what she called a French beaner at the tip of the handle, a 4/6 inch aperture with two horizontal blades you stuffed and pulled raw green beans through. So out of fullback Murrican string beans, you could fake haricots vert. Delicious they were, too.

Look at the carrot. It's been halved, just like the blueberries.

I think she meant confit but it sounds like comfy.

Interesting how she's taking Isabelle's starve the workers and the guests ethos to the max. I learned from Madeleine Kamman that French women call soul food la cuisine de la misere -- seven kids, six ounces of cheese, what does God give you? Quiche! But this is scam food, and I have absolutely no doubt this is the way Isabelle Jarvis fed her nursing home patients.

Agreed, Annelise is definitely not pregnant.

I also agree that her viewers and patrons are 'not the full main course'. They are stupid. What kind of person leaves a comment saying they are putting on their yellow Fanny dress while they watch the vlog? What kind of guest sits at the end of the dinner table and says she watched the meals on television and always wanted to eat them?

They are bleeping morons. It is absolutely shameful that they give money to a lazy, grifting, delusional witch called Stephanie Jarvis instead of charities; people in war torn countries or people suffering because of natural disasters. Sometimes I just shake my head in disbelief. It says so much about people who prioritise Jarvis and the Chateau Diaries . . . their lives must so insular and detached from reality.

If not Ruth Kelly, I am sure Ling Lam, of Lings on Kings in Southport, could help...

@KiKiGee , our amazing supersleuth: wasn't Stephanie Jarvis born in Southport? And they lived there for a while? And had a Nursing Home there?🤔

Why does she keep trying to turn a farm house into a Disney world? Versailles is the walls at the dump were meant to have paneling in them, original paneling, would’ve been on the walls when she purchased the dump.

Amaury must really dislike her if she has to resort to photos of him in her cd videos. mentally, and emotionally, he now resides in the south of France in a Stephanie and Snorty free zone.

I thought the people who bought the stars in chapel paid for the restoration? Did I get that wrong?

Wonderful news about the panels! We have “annual check ups” for our pets here in America also. Wellness checks. So it’s just like our human year physicals . We also have so much tick-borne illness, like Lyme Disease, our pets get vaccinated. Also yearly. Do you have that in France? Ticks bear so many illnesses!

Chihuahuas, as with any small friendly dog, want to be part of the action. While it is incredibly important that they stay connected to the ground, it might be less distracting to put him in his shoulder carrier for when you're in conversation. It's calmer and less wearing on his little legs and will make his back and legs last longer as he grows old. Just a tip from a long time owner/handler of the little guys.

If there were original panelling, it would have burned in the 19th c fire (if she's telling the truth about that.)
The primitive beam Ian found taking up the floor in Narnia, which she promised to have carbon-dated, has always been like my criterion for Lalande. It may well be 16th c or earlier, painted with what looks like ox blood paint, and a free hand white flower emblem, really nice. I don't know if that level of embellishment suggests there was panelling or not.
I don't know that much about 16th c fortified farmhouses, either, except Chateau du Sailhant, beautifully renovated by a professional renovation architect.
He has some panelling. Not Versailles panelling. Fortified farmhouse panelling. And lots of wall paper, including faux stone wallpaper, fantastic. I think he also sticks to pre-Versailles furnishings, more Renaissance/Chenonceau style.

That's one way of stretching limited amounts look more/go further. Mingy. And I'm not throwing shade at Marie. She has to work within the budget given to her by Madam.

True, but with a limited budget you have to be particularly smart. Instead of one purple potato, you can use two normal ones. Blueberries aren't cheap either, the garden should be full of rhubarb (free). And if she hadn't constantly decorated her desserts with strawberry blossoms, she could have been busy harvesting and wouldn't have to buy blueberries.

Snorts had better beware; that's a fortaste of what the future is going to be like for him: being angrily put down by his 80 year old mummy who realises just how much of her money he's wasted on buying dinner services they have never used as they have no friends left. She'll be yelling abuse at him just as her mummy did to her and Gerry. Enjoy your future life, Philip. You would have been better off remaining as a waiter in The Netherlands, and fondling your grandparents' porcelain.

I think it's probably true to say that Annelise is not being paid for her waitress duties, more fool her, go home and make them do it themselves.

The not on that those two feel it is beneath them to serve their guests tells me all I need to know about them
