Yay! Looking forward to this when the youtube peeps get things moving again. Thank you Stephanie! Edited to add, absolutely show Selmar's interview on YouTube

Oh no. How long has it been down?

Michelle Morrison

YouTube's been down for over an hour. They claim it's a small error, but there's been no word since they last tweeted an hour ago about it.

It’s down in Hawaii too😩

Steph, you should show Selmar's interview because we are going to be spoiled in December!!

Loved the very relaxed walk in the forest, It looked stunning. YES, share Selma's interview, I think that would be really lovely and it really helps you out too. I received my Lalande postcard this week. Thank you so much, it really made my week and I absolutely love being part of this community.

I watched it on the Patron app. Had no problem. Thanks Stephanie for another wonderful vlog and the beautiful walk in the forest. YES to sharing the Selmar interview with the rest of the world. I’m sure everyone would love to see it.

Love love love it - thank you Stephanie & Philip!!! Absolutely use the patron videos for a Sunday at the Chateaus!!! Plus it might convince people to join Patreon- “wow, that was a cool behind the scenes extra, maybe I should join too”! Outtakes would be awesome and I can’t wait for the Advent Calendar Vlogs. Thanks so much Stephanie!

Lovely roam around the forest. You and Phillippe 'work' well together in your vlogs. And absolutely, yes! Use the Selmar interview. It may even inspire new patrons when they see what they are missing :)

Please share Selmars interview and any other older videos. I think it would be awesome for oomthers to see and for you to get breaks and get ahead for the future.

Oh Stephanie you have no idea how you have brightened my day, you are wearing my Dads hat and it looks so cute❣️It has been a hard week here and I needed this❣️ I was just talking with Reinette and she is so excited too. He would have loved you, he was a Scottish patent lawyer who did his own drawings for the patent office, the father of 4 girls, he was the boss but we loved him ❣️ I would love to have you post Selmars interview , it was so good❗️Again thank you so much for more then you know ❣️

Yes for Patreon Costume Party - that will be grand!! I am totally fine with you sharing on YouTube any of the interviews or any videos we have already seen here. I think that showing Selmar's interview will be very well received. But everyone's was really fab! Thanks for sharing the magnificent forest walk! I live in a very urban area, and it's lovely to see the leaves changing and hear the songs of the forest inhabitants and nature itself.

Please share the Selma interview, I think others would enjoy it, and patrons have already seen it first. Thank you for the beautiful, autumnal walk in your lovely woods. The sound of the stream is very peaceful, during the crazy covid lockdown year.

Have you ever considered restoring the bricked up window/balcony door on the ancient exterior wall, facing the moat?

I think it would be great to put the interviews on YouTube. I know Mummy's was put in both places, but can't remember if any others were. I think people would love to see Gerry's as well. Please, please use any of the content here for YouTube to give you a breather when life gets crazy!

No problem with you sharing any Patreon videos Stephanie. Good luck for December its going to be full on for you 🥰

Yes Stephanie. Put the interview with Selmar on a regular vlog. We’ve all been privileged to see them and the rest of his fans deserve to view it as well. Today’s Pateron vlog was very enjoyable. Loved seeing how the woods have changed with the forestry management Dan is doing. Writing from Illinois USA. I’m usually in Georgia but am traveling around the states visiting family and friends. Hope the Covid doesn’t cause another quarantine here. Take care of yourself and that the others stay well too.

Natie HELP. I'm trying to figure out how to post a question for future question and answer vlogs. Do I just put the question in here? Or is there a special place to post a question. My question is, has Stephanie ever discovered a strange image among the toile fabric? I purchased some vintage toile and made a lovely blanket only to find while snuggling that it had a poor sad donkey tied upside down to a post and being carried off by two men. It was so sad, I had to make up a story to go along with it so I could continue to use my blanket. So now it's the donkey being taken to the vet for treatment, and it gets well and lives a long happy life.

I think everyone of your viewers would love to see the Selmar interview. I really enjoyed Gerry's interview too. They are all great. Would love to see you interview Marie W., Philip, and Cat...especially Cat! She is so funny and would love to learn more about her. Oh, and Hanni too!

I was able to view with no problem on Youtube here in California. Loving seeing the grounds of LaLande. Beautiful Fall Day. And I think posting Selmar's interview for all to view is a sweet idea as he is so loved. ✨💛✨

The Selmar special interview would be wonderful for other fans of the Chateau to watch, not worried about it being shown to the rest of the viewers. It would be like a early Christmas present :D

Autumn is my favorite time to be in France. Thank you for sharing this peaceful walk! Do you ever forage for mushrooms? They are always a delicious part of French cuisine in the autumn, simmering in a wine and butter sauce. I think Natalie's interview is also worthy of a repeat.

You should feel free to show any video you want to. I think everyone over on YouTube would love to see Selmar's interview. 😃 I really enjoyed your autumn walk.

P.S. I never did receive an introductory postcard since I joined in July. Would love to get one.

You should definitely use the Selmar interview on the main channel! Any chance of a projects update video again soon? I'm sure many things are on hold again because of lockdown.

Thank you for sharing the forest with us! I think sharing the interview videos with everyone is a great idea! For me, I don't mind if any of the Patreon videos get shared publicly. I think it's enough just for us to see them first. But the interview videos especially I think the public would love.

Just so you don't lose hope : ) I joined in May and received my post card about 10 days ago. It is lovely with a hand written message from Stephanie. My daughter is also a faithful viewer and she took my card but... I got it back. lol

I’m wondering if I’m missing it but do patrons at the Vicomte and Vicomtesse level get mentioned on the video? I don’t mean verbally...I mean in the written credits. It only says “lords and ladies”

That was such a lovely talk and walk and it be great to see the Selmar video up, he's such a lovely human being. I hope Kat is ok, from what you said, I see she's not in your footage much anymore. Thank you so much for your answers. It's funny about self care as I feel most of us talking time to watch your videos are our self care, which puts a lot of responsibility on you. We love every bit of it though ❤

Anonymous

Thank you for answering the questions-we are so lucky 😁 the crunch of the leaves whilst you were walking is such a lovely sound. Oh I do love autumn. 🥰 I agree with previous comments, use any patron video you like for the main channel; all you would probably have to do is give a brief introduction; this would free you up so much for other creative content for both patrons and general viewers. Could they be the rest of the 'Sunday's" blogs from now till Christmas?

Anonymous

This Q&A was truly splendid!!! More relaxed and enjoyable, not that the others aren’t, being outside and actually being asked the questions by someone else makes for a more relaxed vlog.... It was also great to have one of my questions ask, believe me, it makes you feel special lol.... Stephanie, you should feel free to use the Patreon vlogs in anyway you want. I personally would put a few guidelines in place for doing so though. 1) there should be a delay of around month before putting them onto YouTube. 2) maybe edit them down just a little, so we still get the full version. 3) make it clear they are Patreon vlogs and edited/delayed. So it can be seen that there are extra benefits to being a Patreon, but needless to say any support is welcomed. Once again just my thoughts and 2 pennies worth and will always respect your choices...

Yes! Share the Selmar interview as a Sundays at the Chateau vlog. The CD viewers would enjoy it and free you up to work on the Advent Calendar which I am looking forward to helping put me in the holiday mood. Thank you for the lovely walk in the woods.

The nice people you live with comes from the top down. A boss or host who values niceness, cooperation and kindness is what makes the ground fertile for good people to become even better. And, as an aside, there should be more female bosses in the world.

Just curious about what happened to the patron postcards? I’ve been a Marquis for about six months and never received one. Months ago we saw Stephanie and Mummy laboriously writing out stacks of postcards to thank patrons. Did they just drop that idea when it became too much? Not judging, just curious.

Thank you so much for answering all these questions sharing so much about yourself with us. I am glad that you can live a normal life in your own lovely Acedia surrounded by your tribe. What surprised me but maybe shouldn’t have is that viewers have the nerve to criticize someone whom they don’t know and know nothing about. I think whomever lives with you at Lalande is amazing. I am Dutch-German and really enjoy Selmar and Philip. However everyone in your tribe has so much warmth and personality. You with your own warmth, charme and passion about your chateau attract likeminded people. Thank you for sharing so much with us. Your walk in the woods was wonderful!

Whew. That was a great vlog Stephanie. I thought I knew a reasonable amount about you by now but I love to continue to be surprised and you do that very well. Here are some thoughts and comments: 1) I am really glad you do not do sponsored videos like other vloggers do. Like you, I think it would spoil the channel. Yet I do love it when you get sent stuff from spode, 100 stars and salisa, to me that is a compliment. 2) The same as the other patrons, share selmars video, it makes it easier for you and I know all your youtube fans love Selmar. 3) You do have a self care routine, you just have not named it as such. Your love of beautiful baths, your love of lovely dinners and parties. These are part of your personality but also part of your self care as they reenergise you. But I like your idea of what you are saying about trying to separate your job and your life when your job is your life. 4) Finally, I love your sensitivity with those living with you and being in the vlogs. I know it is a different genre but came across a family vlogger doing a vlog on her daughters puberty. How horrible would that be, hard enough going through it anyway without the whole world knowing. Eewwwhhh!

I fully support the idea of sharing the Selmar interview on a Sundays video and in fact I think all of the interviews are fair game to be posted in the future if you need a little slack in the line. Think of it as part of your self care!

I’d have absolutely no problem with you sharing the Selmar interview with Youtube. I think you should! :)

YES to using the patron videos on the main channel as needed! I think the gift in them is that we get to see them first. A self-care routine might be.... before going to bed each night you take a nice bath, make some tea and read or watch your favorite TV show. Or on Sunday mornings you sleep in, read the paper in bed, and have a late breakfast. Anything that is all about making you feel good & pampered, with out any guilt!

Love the walk in the bush. Thank you. I get a better orientation of the property whenever you show the exteriors. I did notice that the end of the wall of one of the last shots at 37.22 seems to have a walled up door or window? I wonder what happened there. And definitely share the Selmar vid. Looking forward to the Advent vlogs. Anne from Downunder. xx

I love this video of you walking through the forest while answering questions. And yes please share Selmar’s interview on a Sunday at the Chateau. We got first dibs to watch it so I don’t feel as a patron that our perks have been diminished. AND the interview with Oliver was so much fun to watch that it also could be a Sunday video too in December or January whenever it helps you due to all the extra work with the advent videos.

Yes please go ahead with selmar's video on youtube. In fact you can maybe make it a monthly thing. Maybe one of the sunday vlogs each month can be an old patreon video. It might free you up

Stephanie!! You do know, that on your receipt from Royal Copenhagen, there is a one year breakage warranty to every product? If you are not able to use this time for some reason, maybe remember for the next one 🙂 https://www.royalcopenhagen.com/us/en_us/customerservice/breakagewarranty I had a hard time hearing Philip, so I don't know if there was a problem with the mic? But what a lovely walk 😁 I would suggest, that you set up working hours for editing, to escape guilty feelings. I know, that it will not always be possible, because a lot is going on in the Chateau.

Heavenly to see lalande woods in the Autumn. Selmar's interview would be amazing for everyone to see. Long luxurious baths are part of my self care, so relaxing! Stay safe and take care all of you.

Janese Carstens

The peaceful walk through the woods was refreshing to my soul. I agree with the other patrons that the Selmar video would be great to share with the CD community. I also think making your own stipulations regarding when and how often you’ll use patron videos for the CD channel will help you when your almost 100K subscribers (!!) ask for more of those videos...because they will since the interview videos are so good. I greatly appreciate getting to know you more though the Q&A videos and your thoughtful answers. Have a wonderful rest of your week!

I think you should share all of the interviews! It’s the holidays please give yourself some extra free time to self-care (extra long baths, more time for reading, walks in the forest etc.). You don’t want to burn out. The interviews all have their strengths. Oliver was absolutely hilarious. Nati is an inspiring story of changing your life that you’re not happy with and Selma staying true to himself. I loved them all.

Dear Stephanie, as someone who has set up their own news website in March and having to write content all the time (feed the monster!), I understand how you feel. I remember working 21 days straight, having a meeting, and couldn't remember the day! That's when I made sure I take a day off a week for 'self care'. It's nothing exciting, but a break, though I'm sure, like you, I keep thinking of the website. So, the most important thing is use your resources, that's interviews. We'd love to have them shared with the whole La Lander international community. Love (aroha) from New Zealand.

In graduate school I did a substantial amount of research on the phycological impact of being raised an only child. It turns out all the cruel stereotypes and judgments are flat wrong. Barring early trauma and abuse, it turns out they are the most generous people compared to all sibling categories, high achievers, extraordinarily deep and thoughtful, and possess amazing levels of empathy and kindness. Plus they tend to be charismatic in the best of ways, people are drawn to their generosity of spirit, and love of life. Stephanie is one great example of that. Your daughter should be fine!!❤️🌸❤️

Lovely to see the road again. I walked several times i n your woods and enjoyed it so much, picking up chestnuts and making fotos from the mushrooms. Oh it brings back good memory's as a volunteer😃. Please share the video with Selmar because of all your work with the advent calander, off course , but try to keep the patreonvideos a little bit "special" for us Patreons as you will do in the future as I know you.❤

I agree wholeheartedly about reuse of Patreon video interviews as they are generic especially in these circumstances. However factors to consider, please note these are not my views as I totally support what you are doing and don’t require extra treatment but 1. Patreons may need to feel they are having a real benefit for their support which would be diluted if all their vlogs went public. 2. Potential new patrons may not be drawn to supporting if the felt they only had to wait to see the insider videos. 3. Patreons May feel they are missing out by effectively having to watch repeats

Anonymous

Stephanie I too am happy for you to share Selmar’s Q&A on the main channel BUT I have a but to it..... I’ve read all the previous comments (including the replies) before I posted this, and although lots of us have said we’re happy for you to repost the interview no one has mentioned or asked if you’ve checked with Selmar that he’s agreeable for you to post it to the wider internet world? I’m fairly certain it’s unlikely you’d repost any interview to the main YouTube channel if you didn’t have the interviewee’s consent to do so, but wanted to flag it as a concern as no one else has.

Anonymous

Also if Selmar does say yes perhaps you could split the ad revenue from the post with him? Extra fuel money for his own road trip videos maybe....

Hi Stephanie, just a quickie... to my knowledge in France, regarding the swimming pool, if it’s above ground you don’t need permission, if it’s dug into the ground it needs permission. You’re probably already aware of this... but I’m just giving you the heads up xx tc

Thank you for a wonderful chat. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the Patron videos should be used as Youtube content whenever you need a break, or have other things scheduled. I know everyone will love the Selmar interview and also Gerry's was one that surprised me with his thoughtful answers. I love telling people about what "WE" are doing at the Chateau. You make us all feel so included. Thank you Stephanie, and I do concur, you need to get outside more often!! Stay well, from Vicomtesse Jodie of Australia xxxxxxx

Thank you so much for asking! For specifically the interviews I agree to use them to give you more time for the advent calendar, but for all the Partenon videos besides I would advise against sharing those. Having exclusivity gives people incentive to become or stay paternos. I have sold the idea to a few of my friends becoming patrons because these videos are not available elsewhere. If you were to remove that exclusivity then more people might leave and simply wait for the free publication and maybe only support the renovation by watching the advertising. I am of the opinion that if it is a singular type of video that “premieres ” here first, such as the interviews, that follows farther down the line to public consumption would keep growing the restoration community here. Too many video usage could cause a dip in restoration funds.

The reason being, if Patreon is too close to YouTube, Patrons may not watch again and some advert revenue may be lost. This is only a minor thought as the public view would only increase it, but its just a thought! Keep up the good work!

Yes I’m happy for you to use some of the old previous interviews to free up some time for you over the next couple of months. Just an FYI - I found it quite hard to hear Philip this time .

If you cant see the ganges with Jerry you should come back to Portugal and see the douro by boat and go and see Vista Alegre for porcelain its amazing !!!!!

Hi Stephanie, so enjoyed the walk with you and Phillip. I think that to watch the interview with Selmar again would be good. This will enable you to push on with the Advent calender I think everyone at LaLande gels well together, a perfect mixture of personalities and friendship. I see it as a friendship of like minded souls. Stay safe all of you and Love from the Dordogne xx

I know you will be so busy doing your Advent videos and I think it is a great idea to use a couple of the older interviews on YouTube to free up some time for you. The Autumn walk was beautiful-here in Australia it is spring and where I live it is the pre-monsoon season so your walk was a lovely change. Take care, keep safe and best wishes to you all at Lalande 💐🇦🇺

Post the selmar video, to sundays at the chateau... it would be a great way to get more patrons... lots of love!

I love your hat and happy you are going for a walk :) Happy you are surrounded by lovely people to share your lockdown with :) And clever Dan making paths, and I love seeing him getting water from fountain, as if it could be 18th century as well. And YES you must have LOVELY walks, this will be your new passion I predict :) MY VOTE FOR SELMAR VIDEO IS YES USE IT! Do what you need to be happy and to make us happy via your videos :)

Share Selmar! The walk was lovely ☺️ The Autumn colors are so vivid...I could truly imagine the smell of fallen leaves and feel the cool crisp air. I live in South Florida in the US now and sometimes really miss the change of season. Thank you so much for sharing yours!

I was wondering if you could share the vlog of mummy and Percy because l was so glad to see her well and happy. Lots of people were worried about mummy during their separation and it would be good to see the change in mummy now they are together.

It was very hard to hear Philip so it was great that you repeated the questions! Also, It would be nice to know what happened to Henni. Where did she go? Also, more info about Philip please or Cat......what do they do in their normal lives, how are they able to stay so long.?

Lovely vlog x thank you x looking forward to the Advent Callander videos xx loved last years x just a shame Michael can’t be there too x you work so well together x you just bounce off each other so naturally xx what happened to your idea of doing a travel vlog with Michael visiting Chateau’s ? I have no problem with you using the Selmar video xx🥰 an idea also, maybe have an annual Ball depicting different era’s of the Chateau. You could maybe charge for this and open it up to the Patreon’s and/or public and donate to your Chateau fund or a charity x would be lovely to see a Ball at LaLande xx thank you for today’s video xx keep safe and well all of you xx🥰🏰

Hi Stephanie, I must tell you that I love all the videos you make, but I savor the Patreon videos bit by bit. You are so talented at making your Patreons feel special and in partnership with you somehow. I feel as though I’m a part of the process there at LeLande. I’m convinced that this is a gift you have. So, forgive me when I say my first thought in sharing a video with the main channel was, NO,please no. I realize that this is selfish of me😊 and I also want you to be blessed🙂. Just know that I whole heartedly enjoy all your videos!!!! Thank you so much.

Hi. I agree that the Interview films can work really well for filling in gaps such as this. I also agree that as long as there is a decent gap - 6 months perhaps? - then it's a nice way for subscribers to find out more about the longer term inhabitants of laLande. Another lovely film thanks and keep up the good work.

Great to see an autumn walk around LaLande, it really is stunning with all the seasonal colours. I’m pleased to hear that you don’t look at all the comments from various pages/ sites etc as I wouldn’t want any negative comments that a minority of people make to distract you and put you off as the majority really enjoy everything you are sharing and doing. Stay focused on the all the love, joy and positivity you bring people through sharing life at LaLande. Keep up the great work by being yourself! It’s amazing and a great achievement how you manage to keep every vlog fresh and interesting to watch. 😁 Yes I agree with everyone else, by all means share Selmars interview as it will enable content to be put out and free up time for you to do the advent calendar etc. 2020 has been a tough year but not for LaLande! What amazing success has taken place over the last year! I would like to suggest in January doing a review of the past year showing all the progress and achievements at LaLande as it will be great to be reminded how much has changed for the better. Anyway make sure you have time for yourself and everyone stays safe at LaLande. 😁

I have a suggestion for a fantastic projection management/spreadsheet solution. I'm not a detail person and I find it very intuitive, easy to use and efficient. It's called AEON Timeline. You can upload data from an Excel spreadsheet if you wish or enter directly into a project management and cost tracking timeline. Also it's not expensive. I think using Selmar's interview is a great idea (or other formerly Patreon videos, too.) As a Patron I don't mind sharing at all and I'm sure all your viewers would love hearing more about Selmar. This is a fantastic idea!

Firstly, thank you for answering my question about renovating a children's room. Maybe one day? Secondly, I've no problem with you using the Selmar interview. It's fascinating and I'm sure viewers would find it interesting. Thank you for the lovely walk around, it looks so beautiful and peaceful. Try and do it regularly for your own wellbeing x

Yes, by all means show the Selmar interview. I'm sure people would enjoy that. But whatever happened to the first of the month video? I'm anxious to know how things are going financially and what is in the works going forward. I always like to know how "we" are doing. It's nearly the middle of the month now. Sorry to be so demanding, as I know you are doing Advent videos, which I'm sure will be marvelous. That was a lovely walk in the woods! Thanks so much for that. Oh, and I keep asking - what has happened to the satellite internet hookup situation? You still seem to be uploading in your car. As far as solar, my brother has been in the business for over 20 years. He did the highest solar installation in the world on Mount Everest. I'd love to talk to you about the solar for La Lande.

Hi everyone! It was my question about releasing some of the older Patreon vlogs and I’m glad to see that 99.9% of you agree with this. Needless to say half of the vlogs just wouldn’t be suitable or worth realising on YouTube, as they are very Patreon related. But the interviews and special subject I.e fabric, chinaware and museum visits are generic and could easily be shared when needed! As I have already stated on another post, they should only be released when Stephanie needs extra time/breathing space or in the event of any delays or technical problems. They should be edited down a little and acknowledge as being originally for Patreon, a short clip at the beginning stating this and the original date, would be fine. This would mean we still have the full version to or selfs and also surely create interest in becoming a Patreon for other views. They can be edited, uploaded and set to private in advance and then release on YouTube when needs must and with little fuss. I know Stephanie stated she has never not released or missed a vlog on YouTube. But at some point this will happen or she might be unwell and it be out of her control. Stephanie or someone she trusts could then simple go to the account and unprivate the vlog. My work background meant i was always looking out for the worst case scenario and how you can limit that, then putting precautions in place and ready. Always be prepared and ready for the unexpected as my mother use to say....

That wood around La Lande is so beautiful - I would take a stroll there every day. Regarding the Selmar Interview I think it would be fine if you would post that as a Sunday video - I'm sure it would be very popular, those interview videos are such fun to watch and I hope you will do more of them.

Hi Steph, thank you for taking us for a walk in the woods, they are very beautiful. I would be very happy for you to share some of the older Patreon posts, so long as Selma gives permission. Also, a lot of people ask so a lot about Isabelle so maybe release that one first. But ultimately it is your decision and I am happy for you to do as you wish 🥰

Anything that helps you, makes things easier is fine. I think all the interviews could be used as I loved finding out more about your closest family and friends, it was amazing. Just as long as everyone knows these are the extra benefits we have as your patreons. Would be great to have many more patreons and with perhaps the tax issue solved, the more your dreams can come true. We love you so much Stephanie, you are pure joy. I think a goal should be your dream car, the convertible you chaste?? Imagine the wind in your hair, traveling wherever, after Covid. Stay safe and may Christmas finally bring you WIFI, lol. Joy.

Solar panels would look bad for your guests by the swimming pool. With so many acres of woods you might want to take one or more out of the way acres, clear them, and put the panels there. Or you might want to look into solar shingles that look like roofing material. If you like YSL's Paris scent you'd probably like Lancome's Tresor scent, its roses, violets, with a little peach.

Hi Stephanie, congratulations on becoming an Irish citizen, you'll have to come and visit us soon. The passport office had such a deluge of applications from the UK after Brexit that I think they got really efficient at processing them. People might not realise that you only need one Irish born grandparent to become a citizen. I say use all of the interviews for Sundays at the Chateau, if the subjects approve. Loved todays video 💕

Shaun, I totally agree with you. Stephanie has been so generous in providing us all with lots of vlogs that I have no issue with her posting a previous patron video when she has technical issues or in the month of December when she is posting something daily. This was a nice, relaxing video and a new view in the autumn woods.

When Stephanie touched wood, I though - why do we do this? I had to check it out ... Search Results Featured snippet from the web It derives from the pagan belief that malevolent spirits inhabited wood, and that if you expressed a hope for the future you should touch, or knock on, wood to prevent the spirits from hearing and presumably preventing your hopes from coming true.

I wholeheartedly agree with everyone about sharing Selmas interview he is such a nice man! Your walk through the woods was lovely and looks very similar to the state parkland behind my home, with streams and lakes and meandering pathways.

It's sad to hear that some of the volunteers at the chateau are more reticent to appear in the vlogs after reading comments. That's social media, I guess.

Absolutely feel free to share the interview videos! We’ve seen them first, but they belong to you and I think the followers would enjoy them immensely. Plus you could link to their channels and I think that would be a nice boost to their Ad revenue. As for a self care routine, I think of that as something that brings you joy and is just for you. So for you it might be a long bath or even the research you do for your Sundays at the Chateau (I know you do that for the vlog, but you always choose topics that truly interest you!) Finally, I’m sad to hear that some people are feeling uncomfortable about comment threads on the videos. That’s not fair and I hate that people are avoiding the vlog because of it. Please let the whole house know that we appreciate them and like them just the way they are! Wishing you guys all the best in lockdown- STAY SAFE!

I think it is conversation threads from other places that upset some of the volunteers. The youtube comments are usually very positive. I read one of the other threads just out of interest and they made feel sick. If that is how they want to behave, let them but I am sticking to youtube, patreon and facebook fan page.

I enjoy these very much but this video may be my last one. I am in Canada and our area has had a covid surge and a new lockdown which means I have lost my part time job and had to shut down my pottery and silversmithing business. Money for extras has always come from these sources so my Patreon subscription is one of the small cutbacks I must make for the time being. Perhaps one day after covid disappears I will have spare cash again. I will continue to enjoy any and all other content. Au revoir for the time being.

Good idea posting old Patron videos. Might encourage others to sign up too. I like the fact that the Chateau Diaries isn't plagued by product placement. It's a perfect pure channel that is both uplifting and entertaining. I think it's why it's such a success. It's great to see so much progress being made. There's lots of love for the Chateau and it's inhabitants.

Stephanie I have watched channels that I loved and then they start doing products in the middle or beginning or the end it absolutely ruins it and reminds me of tv and takes away from content as thats what you remember. PLEASE! don't ever do sponsorship or adverts it would ruin what you have here.. The gifts you are often recieving are already product placement. I hope this never becomes apart of your vlogs. I know so many people that like myself leave when advertising takes over.. Its one of the main reasons I love your vlogs and you stand out..

All can say is too much time on fb is a bad thing....

Stephanie, I am perfectly happy if you use a Patreon video (or 3!) for a Sundays At The Chateau series. You are working very hard to make even more content with the Advent series so please make it easy on yourself. After all you need to enjoy the holidays too and not be filming and editing every moment. I know it's not like work for you but it is good to ease up a bit and enjoy yourself. And showing the interview with Selmar is an excellent idea. My favorite interview is with Ollie. I had tears in my eyes laughing so hard almost the entire video. He is very funny and such a great storyteller. I know people would enjoy them! Thank you for everything you do. You and the LaLande family are a joy; just precious, precious people.

I think it's okay to share some of the old Patreon videos because they're meant as something special for supporters, and we got that. After so many months they served their purpose and not a lot of people are going to be going back watching them, so it would be a pity to leave them there without others enjoying them too.

Hi Stephanie Like everyone else I implore you to use all the Patreon videos as you deem suitable. We’ve all had the joy earlier and I cannot see any reason why you couldn’t share them later publicly. I can imagine just how busy you are with all the development and the running of a chateau. Staff management, filming, editing (and the subsequent roadside upload) are all huge jobs. You really must take time out for some well deserved me/care time ! Thanks for the woods walk. Thoroughly love the autumnal splendour, the stream, lakeside, the brown cows and especially I love the aspect of the Chateau as you approached it coming home. xx

Q. How do you overcome decorating indecision, especially when the stakes are high? For example, in the grand salon when you were choosing fabric and you knew you'd only get one shot at making it work because of the expense.... how did make your final choices? Also, have you ever made mistakes decorating and how did you recover?

Hey Stephanie! Please use Patreon videos whenever you have a need--to get caught up on extra work, or if--God forbid--you have a week where you're under the weather, or anything like that. These are a treasure, and I know the wider audience will LOVE them :) This video was superb. I didn't know I needed a walk in the woods with you and Phillip, and it has brightened my day :)

Denise Behrends

Autumn is indeed the most glorious season for a walk outdoors to enjoy the colorful foliage. Your interviews would be the perfect videos to consider sharing outside of Patreon as a gift to all viewers, and would be a wonderful way to add ease to your work / life balance. You could continue to build on your collection of Patreon interviews with volunteers, family & friends, and then drip them out over time to share on The Chateau Diaries whenever you choose. Since you already have several recorded, you can have a sense of being ahead of schedule, and free up time for the Advent Calendar Christmas Diaries. Another idea for shared content would perhaps be selected videos from Mummy and Percy. I’m sure all LaLanders miss them as much as we do, and it would be a lovely gift for all to view scenes from their daily lives in South Africa. I concur with others who have so eloquently stated that there is a delicate balance between exclusivity and the delayed sharing of select content to engage others in becoming a patron of LaLande. One cannot underestimate the allure of behind-the-scenes exclusive content to draw more people to our group devoted to the loving restoration of LaLande. A glimpse is often more powerful than a full reveal. I’m confident that you will find that perfect balance, and that whatever you choose to share will be joyfully appreciated by all.

Hello! fellow Irish citizen. You will have to visit us here in Ireland soon -and follow your Irish roots.Also concur with everyone here in that I have no problem in you using patreon vlogs whenever and wherever you want. I feel I’m well rewarded for my little contribution.

A big yes to sharing Selmar's interview a good idea. Really enjoyed the stroll through the woods with Q & As did have trouble hearing Philip though. Would love a Cat interview sometime😄. Interesting to hear your thoughts glad you are not out with a begging bowl and if companies send gifts it’s because you deserve them. Hopefully Gerry will be able to get over for🎄🎉 Keep up all these wonderful vlogs.🍾🥂💕

LOVED this - you taking us out for a walk in that sensational Autumn beauty and hearing you give such interesting answers simultaneously I would really enjoy going for more walks with you (and it is a great inspiration to get you out- so reminded me of when i was part of running a manor house (tiny compared with your estate) and how very hard i realised it was to get myself away from the work of running the place and outside - so i so appreciate a little how it is for you) AND VERY HAPPY to have you share Selmars interview- it was the one that first drew me into becoming a Patron as i was so wanted to hear more from him - so pleased i did as i love being small part if this and sooo enjoy the extra vlogs - so maybe it might have added advantage of drawing in others - i too am happy for you to use other old interviews etc to give you much needed break from having to produce so many vlogs a week - the interviews are fascinating and others will love them too THANK YOU XXXXXXXX

Anna Ibarra

I love this Patreon vlog. Love the autumn walk that I wish I had a small bit of it. In regards to share the Selmar vlog, as some mentioned it, yes that would make a nice Christmas gift. But overall, yes please share whenever you feel you want to. You make wonderful choices for your watchers/fans! So share away! 🥰

Anna Ibarra

Also, yea share any of your extra footage and work and life at LaLande! You all really have such exciting things for us to see!

Yes, absolutely post the video of Selmar's interview..great idea x

Kimberly Dale

My favorite type of video... Love them all but by far this is my favorite a walk about with You Stephanie I can almost feel and smell the wet and wonder of the woods of your Lalande & free flowing conversation answering questions with Philip (?)... I love his presence too... love Selmar s travel about videos too...SelfCare

Kimberly Dale

SelfCare is Very Important and helps be better productive not selfish... you’re loving what you’re doing is great but a hot Bubble Bath, with yummy candles...

Kimberly Dale

In a chateau with tea or a tonic well you should be doing that because you can...🥰 I think I’d be doing that daily... if you are that’s self care... also tea with friends is self care... drinking more water& taking beautiful walks... absolutely self care You are loved... Take care of you🥰Tonic Up. With lots of lime ...+zinc it’s a cov19 cure... So I’ve read... 😉🥰🙏

For sure, feel free to share publicly. Having seen the interview, I agree it would be of interest to your other viewers. So fill your boots, as they say!

For some reason I never see it on time. I don’t mind if you show things like the interviews. They’re different than the business sort of things or patron questions. Everyone would love to see those. Hopefully after the holidays you can pick that little series up again. Especially Kat and Phillip. The woods are so beautiful. It would be nice to sprinkle a few benches about in scenic areas. If I lived there, nobody would ever see me from the first warm night to the last. 😆

I really enjoyed your beautiful walk through the woods. It reminds me very much where I live, which is on The Black Isle, in Ross-shire, Scotland. You do what you want to do Stephanie, it it is fine by me. i love all your vlogs, and please use what ever you need. You have great integrity and You are a great inspiration to me and always take time to take care of yourself and stay safe in your beautiful Lalande xx

Such a lovely natural video to watch. I love autumn walks and seeing all the beautiful colours around the chateau . I echo many others and absolutely agree they are your videos to share. I am sure many people will love watching your interview with Selmar. And if there is anyone else willing, I’d love to see you do more interviews! Vx

We love seeing the surrounding areas of Lalande, as we have seen in Selmar's vlogs, and we think it is very beautiful. We too also agree that you should use the interview with Selmar, and think if ever you need to use them for whatever reason - even to have a break as everyone needs one - then you should use them as needed :) xx

If you need a 'fill-in' video to help you out, it's a good idea to use the patreon ones, as I'm sure many would love to see your mum, Gerry, Nati, Selmar, etc interviewed, and helps you out with having them there as back up.

Please do post Selmars interview. I think everyone should enjoy this not just Patreons.

What a beautiful walk with you & Phillip! The crunch of the Forest floor, the color of the trees & the sounds of nature & the river ahhhhh relaxation! That as so nice of you to ask but as we all probably agree please do share the interviews when needed. Stephanie you will never know what a role model you are to so many. You remind us of a time when life was full of laughter & happiness. A time when we lived in our own magical LaLande’s. It has given me incentive to return to those days & state of mind. THANK YOU! Ummmm what is Jamaican Cake? Hugs from the Mitten (Michigan, USA 🇺🇸) 🤗

Thank you Stephanie I always love videos around the woods and lake that Selmar has done and this was lovely. I only joined as patreon in August so have not seen Selmars interview yet I think after a considerable time it was be ok to post patreon videos to help you out. Also it would be good for your soul to take walks like this now and then without filming xox

Lyn if you want to you should be able to see all the older Patreon videos here. You can find them by clicking the month drop down above the posts.

I think it’s absolutely fine to post old Patron videos as the Chateau Diaries. I don’t see being a patron as being an exclusive club but rather as being a “helper” to help with chateau development. I don’t see it as a “them” and “us” situation at all, so share away please😊.

McVitie's Jamaica ginger cake is one of those British foods that's been in the shops for decades and that you find yourself missing when you've been living abroad for a while. I like it with custard. Someone sent Stephanie a whole case of it in one of the early 'Cadeaux at the chateau' vlogs. I need to give that person my address in France!

I think most of us can agree that what can make things easier for you (i.e. using a patreon video to ease your vlogging work) is absolutely fine. I don't support you to be exclusive. I support you and Chateau De LeLande plus the Le Lande family because you are kindred spirits. See... I knew you were Irish! Nevertheless, We are here to help and support you and your work. I can't wait for the lockdown to be over and we can all make a roadtrip to Chateau De LeLande! Though I think my French will need MAJOR improvement! We are all family and all kindred spirits together! God Bless you on your amazing journey Stephanie! Much Love! <3 And Like I said before you and my sister in law Jackie are almost twinsies. She's half Irish and half French! All the Best!

I think using the videos are fine! Especially the interview ones! Before I was a patreon it was a real treat to get to see mummy's interview when I knew that patreons had more!

Selmar should definitely be shared! And who can forget Ollie's hilarious story... I actually watched it 3 times... Share away, Stephanie!

I would whole heartedly say share the Selmar interview. It is such a great interview, and would be a great service to share, and could even be a great promotion of the amazing content and love that we all get as patreon's.

I don't know how I'd function without this vlog and all of you. And that includes the bunches of us who follow you sweet people at Lalande. When you say those heartfelt words at the end of every vlog, and blow us a kiss, I blow you one back. I hope you feel the love as we do being "silent partners in crime"! Love you all! Love your beautiful home!

I hope this does not come across as rude for I see both sides to this topic. As I just became a Patreon two weeks ago and am trying to watch all of the old videos. To see any of them shared on YouTube kind of takes away from the benefits of this channel. It is easy to watch ads to help with the restoration as I have done for almost a year. But to come out of your own pocket during a pandemic is much harder. Yes we all do this because we love the chateau but you have to be honest in saying the perks are nice too. Yes Stephanie works hard in producing these videos and it has become a full time job but that’s to be expected. If you do take away things here it’s only fair to add some new ones in. I wonder if the next small goal you set could possibly be for better WIFI or a part time assistant? Both of these could help greatly reduce the amount of time you spend on tasks such as paying bills, uploading, scheduling things, phone calls etc. I know that the housekeeper and gardener have relieved a lot of the stress in those specific areas. As I said I can see both sides since we have all been on each side and you will constantly be gaining new members. But if they see that the private videos from here are being shared on YouTube they may become discouraged. Please don’t think that I’m cruel or lack a heart I’m just a realist and like to be open to all sides. We all just want what’s best for the whole Lalande family.

I'm not a fan of Miss Brooks viewpoints - lots of us having been watching and patroning for a while - it's about helping, not keeping an eye on just what we are getting ourselves. You say it's a job and all to be expected but Stephanie pumps videos out at a rate that most youtubers dream of. Lots do one or two per week, girl is at like 5 including the patreon vid? It sounds like Anna-Alicia hasn't been watching all that long or maybe not seen much of the vlog but I've probably seen every episode at least twice, if not more for some. The Advent Series is LONG, and Stephanie looks exhausted talking about all of them! Anna-Alicia, Stephanie HAS a personal assistant type helper in Nati....plus has talked about progress setting up better WIFI multiple times.....all of which will NOT be happening before the impending advent filming....I'm mostly wondering how many videos have you actually watched?? Why would a patron feel discouraged about a video we all saw a while ago being shared to let up time for more awesome future vlogs? The whole thing is win-win, because it's win-win for Stephanie, of which we are patrons to HELP her, so if it's a win for her it's therefore a win for us. I am not counting each little patron gift like pennies. I simply just feel like you're either not much of a fan or haven't been watching long and your heart is not in the right place for Stephanie or the series. ? Lots of patrons would do anything to help Stephanie, this is such a small thing to grant given all that she does to share joy and is going to reinvest that free time into making bomb advent calendar vlogs. Dunno Anna. I really don't see your viewpoint or heart-point on this.

Anonymous

Stephanie, YES!!!! By all means, share away on Selmar's interview. As I said in my reply to Anna-Alicia Brooks, "The whole thing is win-win, because it's win-win for Stephanie, of which we are patrons to HELP her, so if it's a win for her it's therefore a win for us. I am not counting each little patron gift like pennies." I think it's really important the overall fan base can be counted on for upholding the overall sense of care and appreciation that we rely on Stephanie to exude in her channel, and we lose nothing to see Stephanie have more time to make an awesome advent calendar series. Don't get the closed-heartedness of not wanting the interview shared when basically EVERYTHING about Chateau Diaries is remembering to live with an open heart, remember to give, remember to grant wishes, and realize how time can be spent reinvesting yet more special things for us all to share and treasure.

Just want to say thank you to Stephanie and this group for giving me the confidence to follow my heart and redecorate using a William Morris designed wallpaper that I have loved for over 30 years. Previously been swayed by family to keep things far more plain. So excited now paper is ordered hopefully it'll be on the wall soon. Thank you!!

First my name is Anna-Alicia not Anna as you clearly can see. Second I have been watching for over a year before I even became a Patreon. Third I want nothing more then Lalande’s family to be happy. If that means only having 1-2 videos a week then do it. I know that she loves making the videos but her peace of mind matters more. I don’t care if the interview is shared and apparently you did not comprehend my message. However, I am an adult and can understand that people can have different opinions. Just because you do not agree with mine does not make it any less valid. It is rude to assume that I am close hearted, ungiving and don’t want what’s best for Stephanie. But you know what they say when you assume! Belittling someone just because you have a different viewpoint is low and frankly uncalled for. I also know Stephanie would not stand for you calling me names and your tone. I will not respond again for bickering back and forth was not the purpose of this topic.

Anonymous

Absolutely agree with the others-- please post Selmar's interview for everyone to view on YouTube! In fact I already wished that you would, because I've long thought your viewers would enjoy it so much. I see it from two entirely positive angles: 1) For those lucky viewers for whom Covid has not hurt the pocketbook, it would be a lovely glimpse of what is in store for them if they decide to become a patron! And we all want that for Lalande. 2) For those who cannot become a patron during this difficult time, it will be a generous gift for the holidays and much appreciated. <3

I have just watched this video, l am so overwhelmed l don't know what to say first. Your judgement, grace, kindness, thoughtfulness shines through. Certainly use the Selmar interview, it's a blessing for all to enjoy. What particularly touches my heart is that in the crazy world of lockdown, political situations around the world and one issue after the other is that this channel is here to enjoy the beauty of friendship, family, love, joy, laughter, wonderful food, culture and much more. It uplifts our collective souls. Such touches as the 2 minutes silence and Ian ringing the bell. It all touches my heart and makes me feel very emotional. Lots of love from Melbourne Australia

This was a lovely stroll and chat. I think you should absolutely share Selmar’s interview on the vlog. At the start of your interview with Oliver, you did say that the interviews could be used for the vlog when you were e.g. on holiday. As patrons we’ve had access to it much earlier than everyone else so I cannot understand any objection, plus as others have said, it could encourage more patrons.

Of course you should share, we were just privileged to see it early.

New Patron here, I've been watching the videos for ages but finally took the plunge to become a Patron. Had a lovely time over the last few days binging the Patreon only videos and it was lovely to see the behind the scenes and how things have developed over the last few months. If you struggle with the idea of using a spreadsheet, using something like Trello https://trello.com/ might be helpful. It's essentially a super fancy post-it noticeboard for organising projects. You can set up a column for each project, and then add post-it notes to which you can add notes, tasks, photos etc. and even assign tasks for someone else to do as a team. I think you'd find it really useful for juggling all the different projects and ideas that you are holding in your head.

Loved your autumnal walk and, as always, the ease with which you express yourself. I think sharing Selmar's interview with the wider world would be wonderful. He's a multi-talented, fascinating man, with an interesting background - I think that deserves to be showcased! :) Keep up the amazing work - you bring joy, enthusiasm, and a love of life that we all need right now. With great affection from Port Hope, Ontario, Canada xx

I think you should use the selmar interview for the main channel. I think it is fine to do that whenever you want. Patreon members still get to see it first. I also think you should use the one of Jerry at some point. That was a very interesting video.

Aww Stephanie and Philip, had to giggle at "self care routine, I don't think I have one." Very important to take time to rest. I love taking walks in nature, your forest is a boon to your mental wellness. I like to do utiseta and just sit outside and meditate in nature.
