Of course I'm enjoying the dailies but I'm more concerned that it's a lot in combination with the Diaries, Travels, Grand Tour and Patreon and soon leading up to your busy Christmas diaries. It would be nice to see a Christmas pass where you don't have so much on your plate that you burn out and get sick in the new year. Also squeezing in a trip to Scotland and then S.Africa?

Stephanie, do what is manageable for you! Love the dailies as they give me a break in my work day
![Winking face :wink: 😉](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f609.png)
and providing extras like this for the Patrons is awesome whatever day you choose to release them. But do keep us updated on new and ongoing projects. The new bedroom was a pleasant surprise!

Of course we’re all gonna LOVE having a daily vlog! We’re like Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors when it comes to videos, FEED US. So my only concern would be that you don’t exhaust yourself in the process. You…take care of you.

Dear Steph: I don’t want you to burn out or get sick! I love seeing your faces every day, but I want you to also enjoy your life!! My goodness, you & Marie with all those lovely & talented men…! What a FUN night! I smiled through the entire video! But you had to go to bed, which worries me that you’re pushing too hard. Whatever you want, I’m here for you! Thanks for your efforts. You are one of my favorite people!

My concern with you doing dailies are that you may burn out or get too tired. In my mind, it is not worth it for you. You are already taping so much. I am enjoying everything that you are doing but taking on more is a concern. I just care......

I agree with the comments made by others, be careful of burnout 4/5 days a week sounds grand. I’m enjoying the short versions but I think you may want the patreon video to be on a different day, particularly when they need to be longer if /when patreon input might be useful to support you, for advice feedback and updates on plans etc.

I am enjoying the dailies showing your everyday life. The peaceful, serene walks with nature singing, the laughter and joy of learning new things, the bantering play amongst the LaLanders, glimpses into everyday tasks that seem humdrum but are made humorous when done with others. I see the excitement in your face when making these vlogs. Try to enjoy the journey but know that we are with you whatever you decide to do. Save enough energy for your Travels with Ollie, travels with family and friends, and for the Christmas vlogs. Pace yourself. This episode was priceless! All of the fantastic singing and music, the food, but most of all, the spontaneity. You simply must film more fun like this! Loved everyone involved!!!

I LOVE the dailies very much, and it's so lovely to know that you enjoy doing them, dear Stephanie, so please don't overburden yourself. Do the Patreon video whenever feels right for you. You know what works best, heaven knows, you've set the standard for all the others! One suggestion I would like to make though – is it possible to turn up the volume or adjust the levels for when people are replying to you? I find that often, I can't hear what Maria is saying, especially when she's announcing the menu, Marie too, Amaury too! Your voice is lovely and clear because you're next to the mic, but turning up my volume here to hear them isn't working because it's out of balance with your volume. Just a thought. And if it can't be done, then don't worry and we'll never speak of it again!

As for the dailies... The selfish, yet honest side of me says, "YES! I will excitedly look forward to each one, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!" However, my practical, more empathetic side says, "You will surely burn out trying to do that. Do what you can, and we will love you, even if you can only do one a week." Perhaps an every other day schedule would be more manageable? Take care of yourselves!

I agree with Jane Blandford. I worry that by doing dailies, you will push yourself too much and burn out especially since you’re also helping with the editing of travels with my friend. But selfishly I do have to say I love having daily videos to watch of Lalande. When I found your channel 2 years ago, I went back and watched every single Vlog you had made. So I had something to watch every day but ever since I caught up to the present day I’ve been missing the daily intake.
![Face with tears of joy :joy: 😂](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f602.png)
If you do decide though to do five days a week, I agree it would be much better to have the patron videos on a separate day. Either way thank you so much for all your videos.

This was an absolute delight! The singing, and of course piano playing, were wonderful! More of that any time, please. As to the big guestion - continuing doing dailies, I'd be lying if I said I didnt enjoy them. I do. But more importantly to me is your health and the balance in your life. I'd rather have fewer videos and know you are having time to breathe. You deserve time with the people you love and to not feel rushed or pressured.

The dailies have been great fun! I love that we get the opportunity to 'visit' with everyone as they go about their day in the Chateau. I enjoy all the things you vlog about, but that is one of my favourites. (Well, that and the garden.) And do whatever works best for you!

The dailies are a joy, and I agree with everything said by the others in terms of your health and wellbeing - so why not have the others in the house do some of the daily filming to take the pressure of you. they don't have to be professionals, it would be fun. Thank you for all the effort you put in. This vid was absolutely lovely.

Do the dailies for this week, and then return to your regular schedule. In the new year, maybe you could do a week of dailies say twice a year for something special. Consider Stephanie, that six videos a week is six deadlines you will have each week. You were able to do them in the pandemic when barely anyone was living at the chateau, and there were no guests and nothing going on. You have talked about all the filming and editing overwhelming your plate in the past and you have talked about overworking yourself. Continuing the dailies is just not sustainable. Not only for your mental and physical health, but also, you won't have as much time to do other projects.

Absolutely agree. It is lovely to see you all each evening but that's a huge amount of work. That said, something prompted this change on your part so, working on the premise that I'm not your mother, you're an adult and I know Philip will have been part of this decision making process, you do you! If you want to, you do that little thing!!! (Enormous thing). Nothing is cast in tablets or stone, you can always stop.

The dailies are great and the Patreo vlog could be any night that makes sense on your schedule. My only concern is that we already intrude on the privacy of the citizens of LaLande and I'd hate to become a nuisance. Share as much as you can because we love to be included but don't let us get on everyone's last nerve.

![Red heart :heart: ❤](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/2764.png)
the dailies but to help overcome any potential stress why not do lots of filming and just edit some ahead of time. We don’t mind -(speaking for others?)- if it’s not all on the particular days as we love all the content, not worrying about it being on any particular whole day! Also maybe every other day would enable you to ‘bank’ some footage for a later airing? I would love to see the Patreon videos on a separate night to the C.D’s as this way we have have something to look forward to, to feed our addiction to Lalande! You have created a monster Stephanie.
![Rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f923.png)
You have a lot to do now Stephanie with your travel videos with Ollie, Cadeaux, Diaries and Patreon videos, all making for a heavy workload as well as your not being able to enjoy the moment too because you have to film it for us. Ever since I acquired my first video camera I have filmed for family and friends’ for lots of Weddings, Anniversaries, Christenings etc so I know how it is to be behind the lens all the time and not participating myself because I wanted all those moments on film for others to remember. Just do as and when you feel you can Stephanie, your health is a priority otherwise ill health would undo all the great things you have achieved so far. At the risk of repeating myself each day, this was a super vlog and you took us along to the fun ‘party’ with you!

Question? Are these daily videos really filmed same day as released?!
![Exploding head :exploding_head: 🤯](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f92f.png)
I had gotten so used to your videos being filmed from a bunch of days that I guess I didn't believe these were from THE DAY they were coming out. I really enjoy channels that date when things happen in the video. I don't know why, but I do . Check out Sailing Zatara for idea of what I mean. This may be a way to make daily like videos but back to the old schedule you had. Though I love these short daily videos! Don't get me wrong. Be creative and come up with something uniquely you, Stephanie. Create a whole new format of video, perhaps. Daily

I think you are a ground breaker, so let your creative juices flow and don't follow others success path make your own as you did at the start. You go girl!

Well, I just voted, amongst myself, that the singing should be a very regular part of your format. The only thing that could be better is to hear Philip's beautiful voice more clearly. Very enjoyable indeed. Thank you for the video. The schedule of the different videos is really about my pay scale!! Love to you all.

You seem very rushed in the dailies so far. I prefer the diaries and sitting with a cup of tea and enjoying them.

So much to enjoy and entertain in one video but I'm only going to comment on two things that stood out for me. First is the beginning scene with all seated as the singing starts....where Philip is seated on the large sofa by himself and the other three men are packed together on the smaller loveseat. No big deal but it simply struck me as a bit amusing. Second was the unexpected scene with Jean Baptiste sprawling atop the piano in what could only be called a diva pose. That was a fun scene....but when it's a male is divo an actual word?

I like the dailies and I think you're wise to take a few days off a week. I don't mind when you post the patreon videos. I wonder if dailies are easier to edit since there would be less footage to sift through? Also, I like seeing the simple parts of your day as well as the highlights.
