Fanny doesn’t want anyone to think Percy is too frail to walk and needs assistance. When she met Mummy and Percy at Heathrow I bet she didn’t expect him to arrive outside the hall in a buggy. The man is old and too frail for all the travel he does because of Mummy and Fanny. Let the man rest!
You could've asked Ms Alice the superstalker extraordinaire! !
(But Ms @KiKiGee and Ms @graciemckitten are even more super!!)
They are friends of Ollie's and Camilla's. @KiKiGee , you win the for spotting them! Drinks are on me!☺
Agree that serving Caprese salad in France is not the real problem with Marie’s creation, if it was a real Caprese salad. Her insane concoction is an insane destructed Caprese in an unthinkable blending with the melon prosciutto. Looks like a salad of leftovers.
Caprese salad are found in menus everywhere around the world these days…and variations mostly include different types of cheeses and pesto instead of fresh basil.
I think, never researched it though, Caprese is a creation post unification of Italy when the American tomato was already part of the Italian culture. Don’t think any Roman emperor ever tried a tomato… maybe the ancient Roman Capreses were made with figs instead of tomatoes.
Forgot about tomatoes, thank you for the heads up. That memory tranche seems to have disappeared. So good to have the hive brain as part of my external hard drive.
HIGH HO, HIGH HO? IT'S OFF TO HAMPTON COURT WE GO.......
Just who on earth does that tit think he is? With his 'expert' design ideas, 'I think, I think, I think, I want, my favourtie', no Trixie a normal rational, tasteful, thoughtful, 'thought' has never passed through that hair system head.
It's almost as if Fanny is now asking HIS approval on things, WTF!
God he's odious!
That Ganja bedroom is an assault on the eyes, just like the toile one is........well while I'm on a roll, really the whole sodding place is.
Bla bla bla walled garden, plane, airport, taxi, flat in london, fish and chips, mushy peas decanted into a porcelain (sugar cube container?)
It's okay, the more he talks the more he shows how little he knows and how dreadful his ideas are... that blue spotty pattern with weed leaves was horrendous... but what does he know? HA! She shoots his ideas down a lot, and the fact he was calling her every 5 minutes when he was interfering with Isabelle's apartment says it all... He's not allowed to make decisions..

I've naturally applied my own diagnostic expertise, which is in narcissicism, to her bewildering array of symptoms.
Could this be some kind of neuro-divergent self-calming thing? Like flapping? There's a wide range of neuro-d diagnoses but if I were her neuro I'd be looking into it for real. Her lapses in memory and correct info everyone knows -- could be narc lies, like Trump's -- or could be some kind of organic disability. But she has real difficulties processing information, and fact-based truth. Don't we all.
A lot has been said here, joking about poor, clueless MariE's awful dinners. The poor thing doesn't seem to have any real interest in food, just in scavenging. Kind of like her florals. Well, girls, I scavenged up some garlic scapes, today. You have to remove the scapes that shoot up from the garlic bulbs several weeks before harvesting the bulbs. If you don't, the scapes suck energy from the bulbs, and you'll end up with sad, tiny, listless bulbs. Kind of like PhiPhi's cameltoe. Fortunately, the scapes are DEE-licious! I made some garlic scape pesto which you can serve over pasta (which I did, tonight) or it can be used as a sauce on meat, or on bread as a lovely bruschetta. I am going to pickle some of them to serve in my absolutely favorite breakfast item: namely, a Bloody Mary. They can also be served as a delicious vegetable side dish. Another lost opportunity for poor MariE, bless her heart!

"After cancelling in 2020 due to Covid we finally got to stay @chateaudelalande the home of The Chateau Diaries on You Tube.
Chateau de la Lande is a 16th century chateau situated in the heart of France.
Stephanie Jarvis and her fiancee Philip Janssen were such a pleasure to meet and made us feel so welcome. We were hosted by Stephanie and Philip for two delicious dinners and I believe if you watch the latest vlogs on You Tube you will see us in two of them.
I took so many photos that I will make several posts as there is a beautiful walled garden and a woodland as well as a Chapel undergoing restoration.
Do take a look at The Chateau Diaries, I call it a real life soap opera and never miss an episode.
In the last pic I am dressed for Friday nights dinner with my hair trimmed and curled by the delightful Annalise @missannaliseprice who regularly does hair at the chateau."
Margaret Holden has been a patron of Stephanie Jarvis since the beginning.

Not my favourite Patreon video, very disappointed we now can't watch through You Tube, it was easy to cast to Tv, now it's not ideal. Maybe someone can tell me if there's an easier way than using a mirroring app.
I wonder if the Pethericks EVER do anything with their children other than take them to Brocantes. How many has that been in the last couple of weeks? they have to teach them the family way
I managed to avoid the spike heeled era for work though I did wear the highest possible heels for ages for height superiority. 5'10" takes way less tit in a sexist profession than 5'7". Ouf.
But now all I want to wear is flip flops, bien sur, or Viet Cong sandals made out of tires, or Shein-made-by-human-rights-slaves sort of fisherman tractor wedgies. With black Buster Brown socks. View attachment 3028973 q
I think H and M has those great Prada chunky sole loafer knockoffs. Love love love.
Chantal started saying she looked nice and Mummy just blanked her out. Those two sisters just about tolerate eachother, Chantal looked stressed and tense in her presence.
I noticed that too! I was thinking at my age, if someone said something nice I'd be kissing their feet!! It's all so very strange, and the only compliments are what someone is wearing... because nobody does duck all to be able to compliment their projects I guess...

I thought it was peculiar that they went into Gerry's room while he has briefly left. There was still an almost empty glass of juice on top of the drawers. They should have looked at possible lamp shades before Gerry arrived or after he had really left.
Just like they went in to Isabelle and Percy's room without asking to hang a bleeping soap hook... It's passive aggressive... 'You can stay here but I'm entitled to go wherever I please... whenever.

I too
Not that delicious as she didn't eat the awful eggy starter and had an alternative pudding course. That menu was a fail, as is her dated wardrobe. I guess Annalise's usual beach waves do didn't quite work out.
How does he squeeze himself into them without breaking his nails? I couldn’t and I have acrylic nails, though as stone
Someone insert a pic of his long nasty nails pretty please
My opinion about Percy is that he's a milquetoast of a man and he is very happy to be bossed around my a domineering Mummy and her grifter daughter. I don't think he would want it any other way.
In the scene where Vivienne gives Stephanie the locket, I almost lost my diet Dr. Pepper. Stephanie and Philip kissed! It was the most awkward thing to watch....but I wonder why it was so heavily edited? The three of them are talking over each other, and I can't understand what he's saying, but one second Stephanie's asking Viv if the gift was "a hint" to Philip about her mentos ring and the next is this...........
No scene there isn't choreographed or scripted to the nth degree, is it?
Channel 4 filming of course. That's why they have all crawled out of the woodwork. She needed a houseful to keep up the pretence of love, life and laughter for filming.
So if Pavlina hadn't come back, Marie would be there alone for a week! I presume she's dog sitting... cat sitting.. peacock sitting... sheep watching... I hope she's paid for this 'down time' .
Oh, I wouldn't do M&M retreats either for the same reason as you- Steve. Creepy as duck. The atmosphere was homely though and generous.
The only retreats I would be interested in would be spiritual in India and believe me, I have come up against some doosies!
You make me laugh. A dear dear friend has just completed a 10 day Vipassana silence meditation, which I'm totally into, but the venues -- ouf, sound like 10 days of heavy metal music torture. Oh Jeez. All alone in the country with a bunch of religious fanatics.

Which puts some meat on the bones on the “when did the gruesome twosome plus the octogenarian duo leave for London” conundrum, narrowing it down to either Sunday, 30th or Monday, 1st. .
Viv said the daughter was about to move into a place of her own but she would also have a room at their place. I bet Mummy and Daddy will buy her a flat in Paris. They are not short of cash. They may be over-charging for the jewellery but at least they are not beggars like Fanny and they do a lot of work themselves despite Simon also having a job in Paris.
