Thank you so much @tuffiti !! Thank you for going out of your way and thank you for biting the bullet when you’re sick and giving us these Patreon videos! And as far as fannys concerned ,What a mishmash! she really puts very little effort in to these videos.
I wanted to comment @Pekey Love ! pink roses more than any other rose!
On another note ,i’ve always wanted to read kitchen confidential but Anthony Bourdain was so arrogant, I was always turned off, I will try it!
To the tattlers in harms way with this weather, please stay safe!

For the same news, 50 years earlier, you could do worse than the wonderful Nicholas Freeling's memoir of a boy starting out at the bottom of the kitchen hierarchy in French hotel kitchens. Similarly full of all the criminal types and crimes and adventures he would use in his later career as a fabulous detective novelist. His crimes were always very terrible, really evil and destructive, and, unlike American crimes, not very gory. No spatter, just age old Euro kink and evil.

They are both scammers. Do you know that chamberpot he has paid nothing towards insurance, expenses, taxes, etc. at the dump for the past few years since con artist Stephanie hit the YouTube and Patreon lotto.

Gracie ..... you put it so perfectly..... both are grifters and bloody show off's and the older they get the more pathetic they will be!
I do think if something happens and little Fanny looses all her $$ , like Snorts , Hugh Ain't will be off like a rocket to find some other stupid person to pay their way through life! .
On the "Yuk Scale" I find Snorts and Hugh Ain't on the same level .:sick::sick:

The Vendee is "not posh enough" for Fanny! What are you saying @JackSpratt ? She comes down and schleps around Beziers and it's surrounding area and le Cap d'Agde... it doesn't actually get much shittier than that. Joking apart, and I know that some tattlers have visited Beziers and enjoyed it but, frankly, it's a shithole. As is Agde and Cap d'Agde. I'm trying to make a UK comparison without being insulting to folks, it's difficult. Trust me, it's a shithole. As, I think it was @graciemckitten said, water finds its on level. Maman 🦇 is typical of the witch type from Beziers.

Day 8 of my month long BIRTHDAY! 🍺🍻🥂🍸🍸🍹

And today, a story of racism and xenophobia.

This morning, Mr. Io and I drove to a local castle where one of the gardeners had very kindly put aside some cuttings for me. Snippings of bay tree, which I'm hopelessly bad at propagating, but keep trying, some pretty white cloud budlejas, and willow stalks. Mission accomplished and car packed, we made our to the tea rooms where carrot cake and a nice cuppa awaited. We decided to have a wander in the gardens before leaving. It was spitting with rain, not too cold, but the wind was bothering my ears. They began aching, so Mr. Io took off his scarf so I could wrap it round my head. I wandered away from Mr. Io to look at some herbs when a man came up behind me, yanked at my scarf and told me to "go back to your own country." I wasn't hurt, but what the duck! My mind didn't immediately connect my head scarf with anything but that he was telling me to go home to Australia and how could that make sense? Then it clicked, my head scarf was black. I backed away from the bloke who was sneering at me. The bleached blond on his arm was laughing. I held my hands up and asked what his problem was. He spat that I should go back to Gaza. I was horrified!

Before I could say anything, the man turned, and walked straight into Mr. Io... who decked him. The gardener who saw everything rushed up, and immediately called the police. The man, nose bleeding, stayed on the ground saying to 'yeah, get the police here' because he was going to press charges for assault. The fake skinny blond was shrieking. She reminded me of Hanni. The police arrived in quick time because the castle is the official residence of the royal family in Northern Ireland and they take all incidents there extremely seriously. Questions were asked. Notes taken.

Then the police asked me if I wanted to press charges. Outraged at this, bleeding bloke said HE was the one who was pressing charges! Where upon the police stood over him and told him he couldn't because he'd instigated the affair and he was lucky he didn't get six shades if tit beaten out of him there and then. He could have been charged with assault, and under the UK hate speech laws, received a fine and seven years in prison, the git. I decided not to press charges and let it go. Broken nose was made to apologise to me and upon discovering I was in fact Australian and not from the Middle East, turned white and said 'Oh tit, but the head scarf.' Anyone can wear a head scarf, you muppet, said the police. His whole body deflated. Except his nose, which inflated to the size of a cricket ball.

On the way home I began to laugh and couldn't stop. Mr. Io, who is not a violent man, began to laugh too. He had to pull over till he stopped. I'm extremely lucky to have such a good man. He has a strong sense of justice and won't stand back if he sees any injustice taking place. I'm very proud of him. We bought more carrot cake and double cream to have for dessert tonight. I'm looking forward to it.

Dans basement walls are a thing of beauty. The stone mason is signed up to do the rest of the walls down there, fantastic craftsman (who is French).

Wow @Iolair I shall be keeping an eye out for a man with a swollen nose and hopefully a couple of black eyes when I am in Tollymore and surrounding area this weekend. I hope the carrot cake was made using Avoca recipe.

If you do run into him, please say what I couldn't in front of the PSNI...
Saoirse don Phalaistín agus Liobán!

As you'll be in Tollymore, do try to avoid all the larping Game of Thrones fans who might be out and about. There's usually a few dozen mini bus loads giving tours during the warmer months, but they are still giving tours this time of the year. They all take it VERY seriously! The Haunted Forest beyond the Wall was filmed in Tollymore, plus in Season 1, Episode 1, of the series, where the Stark boys found the dire wolves was filmed at Altavaddy Bridge there. Great show, but GOT larpers are a damn nuisance at times, and it's all a bit silly. They hang about Inch Abbey too, wearing fur, carrying swords, capes (over jeans lol) and usually have huskies on leaches. Quinn's bar in Newcastle is great for pub lunches, as is the Percy French bar and restaurant. Bonus at the Percy French is that they have a Game of Thrones 'door' made from felled wood from the Dark Hedges - I think it's the sigil of the Iron Islands, that kraken thing. I hope you enjoy NI and safe travels, and safe home, okay?

I don't know the Avoca recipe for Carrot cake. We just bought ours in a bakery local to us. Please share, pretty please? W8sh I could buy you a pint. ❤️
