WHAT YOUTUBERS DON'T SHOW YOU!

hi and welcome to sundays at the chateau where today i want to talk to you about the reality of being a professional youtuber there are so many things that don't usually get shown and i realized this because i was feeling a little bit nostalgic here in the middle of france in our third lockdown now i'm missing so many people who are quite often here at the chateau and can't get here so i was looking through old footage to see them and i realized i have so much footage that nobody ever sees because it's the bits in between takes it's the technical difficulties where i'm really frustrated at my laptop or where i can't upload a video and i'm sitting out in the car trying to find 4g where i'm trying to decide what do i film this week i think that that's actually very interesting especially for anyone out there who is thinking of making their own channel i thoroughly recommend i love nothing more than this job i adore it but i want to share the reality of it with you now so i chose a typical week at the end of august last year when jerry and mummy and cat and hanny were all still here because i just think that you will enjoy watching them as much as i do and it's a fairly typical week in chateau life to set the scene i had just got back from lake garda where i was filming the new channel that i will be releasing with ollie as soon as we can travel and start filming again and i'd also just finished filming for british television a couple of secret projects that haven't been revealed yet and i was about to spend a whole week focusing just on vlogging we start on a friday all right my day is starting today with an interview with gerald i'm often roping people in the house into doing things so i have a little book with the questions i ask everyone the same questions why didn't you let me read the book because then you'd have prepared that man has had the biggest effect on my life or very positive i'm gonna have to tell dan nicely that the chainsaw's not in the best position at the moment for dan and i just know my mike's just gonna pick that up instead but then after that i'm gonna run down and chat to you because i haven't filmed you this week so i'll find you somewhere don was getting a bit trigger happy with the trimmer it wasn't the chainsaw it was a streamer obviously oh yeah i've just finished filming jerry's interview took us about an hour and a half but i'll probably cut it down to a 40 minute video so it was really fun and nice spending time with him and now i'm outside because dan's only here for another hour today and i need to film him for next week's vlogs but where is he i spend quite a lot of my time looking for people let's see is he in the garden oh it's looking very tidy in here but there's no sign of dan dan he's not in the greenhouse okay so dan is not in the garden hello thor have you seen dan anywhere nope nope looks like you've just been chilling out there's dan's van maybe he's still on this side of the building i can hear something oh hello ruby i have located dan i think you must be quite excited about the new lawnmower we all are it's just such good fun wow not many people are allowed to use that machine you're in the cycle of trust because i'm her favorite oh oh she said you're her favorite right not in that many worlds now we're about to have a caddo at the chateau's present opening which is everyone's favorite time at the chateau so we get lots of lovely nibbles and then we all sit together and film that but on the way and i noticed that maddie was doing something eminently vloggable look at you being vloggable in the rain yeah got a bit rainy didn't it little bit and you're out here doing what i'm picking greens and foliage for some poses i'm making for some b b rooms today right i'm rushing off it's caddo at the chateau i'll have fun pop in i will see that see it i want to show everybody this is how we set up for caddo at the chateau we have to bring in extra lights and oh yes this is how we set up gabby is here hello hello oh my god with gin and tonic so that's marvelous i can take the jean here if you want and here we have the pile of today's gifts oh it's so exciting one sugar for mommy and tea yeah one sugar first what happened oh what is that what's the meaning of this oh no what do you see this is a three-pointer i think i've got one hidden i'm gonna go and get it this is just normal yeah i over there i think it's another one you see that one is not the same kind the white one the white one so the reason it takes so long to set up all of the videos yay is at the beginning of every single video there's this there's looking for plugs looking for now we can put it in the yellow one because we have this you must really think i'm thick you must thank you enough good and we have new boo we've got oh we have to turn it on maybe yeah let's give it a shot try it try and turn it on yeah cool it should be on the lamp plug that's a lamp like gerald it's got a sticker on it that means it only comes on with the lights i'm going to switch it across okay it means it's a lamp circuit how's that yes yeah we've got like no not necessary because we haven't got a studio set up where we always sit in the same place we choose different places every time because i think it shares chateau life much better stephanie don't feel well no don't say it joel i know what you're going to say and i don't want to hear it i feel a bit late here dude we knew it oh you just got up look at the happiness nothing's changed we still had to spend ages trying to set this up which is really helpful um but getting in the right place and lighting here is always a nightmare we could make a studio on the second floor yes but i think yeah we absolutely could and that'd be lovely especially for winter when it's dark outside but when we can in summer and when we're able to move around because there's no gas like today we're lucky at the moment this room's free it's better for chateau life i think for everyone i understand and yet you have to carry things off yeah it takes ages to set up i mean the gin and tonic alone takes an hour to prepare you're still doing last minute work on charities compiling a list of all the charities that people have suggested in the comments amazing i'm going to do a quick intro first yeah you sit down for a little sec hi and welcome to caddo at the chateau at the chateau de la land where we are very excited to open this week's parcels as you'll see we're now on a new channel because we had so many gifts to open and i thought it would be nice to have a channel just devoted to showing the beautiful gifts that you're sending to us and that way all of the money from this channel can go to charity and each month we're choosing a different charity so for the month of august we have decided oh hang on i can't actually do that because i don't know how much we made in august because we haven't finished august yet no we'll just have to do a little extra yeah [Music] of course okay okay yeah you can reveal the figure okay hello and welcome to caddo at the chateau at the chateau de la land where it's our favorite day of the week when we get to open all of the beautiful gifts that you've sent to us we've got to dinner time on the friday and as you'll see from the footage about to come that wasn't the end of the work day i received the most extraordinary dress from alice allen in that caddo at the chateau and i realized it would be perfect for something that i still needed to film for michael pethrak i didn't have time to get changed i had to run down for dinner unlike most other vloggers i am really lucky because i don't need to cook here so i was able to just join everyone else for dinner but you'll see i wasn't i wasn't wearing the perfect dress for eating the muddy this evening i love that sentence and butternut squash from the garden with sage from the garden with risotto made from a chicken stock made from a chicken that we had the other night okay cat you can't ever leave you know that right i know i'm so happy here i never want to it's so much fun cooking in this kitchen thank you i'm happy to do it so i'm not actually being anti-social it's just my hips are pretty wide tonight i see the chocolate you don't buy the space i just needed a little bit of space we've just had dinner so far i've managed to film two vlogs today one was jerry's interview for the patrons which will probably be a 45 minute video i've also filmed caddo at the chateau which will be somewhere between half an hour and an hour probably i also filmed several little sections for the chateau diaries next week but before i go to bed i have one more thing to do because i promised michael petrick i would do a madame mystery segment for his doing it ourselves channel he's getting detective patrick out of retirement so madame mystery is also coming out of retirement and i promised him that he'll have the footage by midnight because he's got to edit tonight so as soon as i finished filming in here i'm going to get in the car and go and upload the video for him i finished filming the clips for him and i've come out in the car to upload them to him it's 11 30. they're uploading at the moment they should be done pretty soon so i should get them to him by midnight i'm completely exhausted i really like the way that michael and i film these clips because we don't need to write a script beforehand it's as though it's a more natural conversation than someone actually writing it out beforehand and i love the fact that michael's detective is completely oblivious to the fact that madame mystery is clearly infatuated with him and so we really have fun with it it has been a super fun day and i've filmed michael's section i filmed a fair bit for tuesday and thursday next week and i filmed all of my patreon video for the week and i filmed all of the caddo at the chateau video so it's been a very productive day and it's been fun because i've been living with lovely people the whole time yes the transfer is done it is only quarter to twelve and i can get to bed so i'm going to head home now mali's midnight snack has gone badly wrong oh wow no that's what it oh yes on the shoe as well yeah that's not butter so much it's liquid with small flakes of almond in it on the plus side for those people who don't like the oiliness the oily bits have gone your shoes on the floor i'm still dripping oh you definitely let me just poured i'm so sorry you've got to mix it but is it tasty you've never tried this oh i'm not having that look at this beautiful vision first thing in the morning geraldine has brought me a cup of tea and short bread squash shortbread get it right scottish shopkins shortbread oh and it's your last day well i have definitely just woken up almost like a fright oh it was quite a late night last night with the uploading for michael but he got the videos and he's happy so that's great and now no it's my little desk lost my little desk oh here it is so in the morning i don't get up to edit i just grab my desk and i grabbed my computer i'm wide awake and we have to leave at 12 to take you to the airport don't we yes please oh so until then i will have breakfast in bed and i will would you like a queso um no this is perfect thanks i will get your patron video edited how's mommy what's happening in the house mommy's in a good mood i went and and assisted mommy what do you want me to do today before i go she says i want you to go around and photograph all your father's paintings ooh oh i say i'll do all that she wants to keep like a library of all the paintings as he's in anything else she says yeah just one more thing i want you to unpack your little bag yeah well i agree with her she says i want you because i don't want you to go you should not be leaving oh i'm still yawning sorry gerald oh my goodness i peeked too soon you know but it's been great i've been here for two weeks we've did the filming for british tv i've been sitting here for 45 minutes and i haven't actually managed to start editing jerry's interview yet because the day before yesterday i realized that the microphone on my phone was broken and so i had to borrow jerry's phone for all of the things that i was doing so i'm currently sending everything across from jerry's phone to my phone whilst i await the arrival of a new phone it was really strange because it was still recording sound so it took me a little while to realize there was a problem it was only when i sat down to edit that i realized that my phone was broken the sound level kept rising during the video which meant that i could just about use the clips it was taking me hours to go through and individually do the sound i will take a little video now with my phone so that you can see what it was doing and i won't edit the sound on it this is the problem that i've been dealing with the sound level just gets slightly louder and louder throughout the video and there's also a muffled quality to the sound it's a bit crackly so it's been very hard to deal with and thank goodness a new phone is on its way washed i've got dressed and now i'm going to run out to take jerry to the airport but one of the major problems of doing a lot of vlogging on and off is that i'm constantly putting makeup on and taking makeup off so you've probably noticed in the normal weekly chateau diaries i'm quite often not wearing makeup because that's just me filming normal life sometimes i have someone sometimes i don't but for sundays at the chateau and for um opening all of the presents once a week anything where it's like fixed i'm sitting down and doing something then i make an effort to put makeup on for that and today i might after i've dropped jerry off take the opportunity to go to a broadcast in limage because i need more footage for my sundays at the chateau bourque videos which will be the week after next but because everyone in the house is going to be very busy this week with the workshop on i think i will grab this opportunity to see if i can show everybody the limousine can't if i find anything nice then i'll show it on sundays at the chateau and if i don't then i won't bother filming anything but just in case i'm putting makeup on that's way more makeup than i usually use but hello mommy i'm in here what i'm in the bathroom you can come in are you dressed yeah oh yeah she's dressed it's way more makeup than i usually use but it's because of filming the sundays at the chateau today maybe [Music] i completely forgot that i actually have to interview you as well for what i'm making another sunday vlog about um about communal living and like the challenges of it and and also the benefits of it so if i could have a just it'll be five minutes we could even do it once we're at limage if that makes you feel a bit more comfortable yeah of course i will thanks gerald no problem lemo did you do the patrons with my interview no i meant to um edit your interview this morning and it's taken me the entire morning to sort out all of the footage from all the different phones and get them all into the right place so as soon as i get back this afternoon after dropping you off and going to the whole count i'll be editing your interview for the patrons and then i'll go out and upload it the children have been working very hard oh what's everyone been doing we've moved to wow fantastic my goodness we're getting there aren't we oh i i mean they have been so patient and i'm so embarrassed we're managing to send a batch of patron cards every day at the moment right wonderful i think we can go gerald and you're coming with us he's called i'll get my little card again there they go different directions and i'm left just on my own looking at an empty room and there's my way back oh gerald bye-bye what do you reckon gerald mcdonald's yeah we've arrived at the airport and jerry is about to leave us and i certainly remember that i haven't interviewed him if we don't interview him right now in the car park of le mans airport we won't get his opinion i think you should mention lofta but i'll be interviewing you as well oh well yeah so you can you can yeah yeah i'm going to bring the laughter one and thanks for that you're gonna slip that one in yes any any other thoughts about it you know and the the laughter behalf of the shadow thank you for stealing it yeah again i'll just edit her out don't worry and we usually have a great deal of laughter and fun and you've seen in all the vlogs they're dancing filming at the moment unbelievable mummy we're trying to film a video but oh no she no time like the present for putting the rubbish out let's straight never mind our sound editing now she's off bit of peace and quiet let's finish yeah and at the end of the day when we're all sitting at the table and we all start talking and laughing and joking and then the music starts and if you've seen any of the vlogs you notice there's no inhibitions when it comes to dancing at la land and then in the next day we all start again bye-bye sweetheart bye hi i'll phone you tonight yeah right well that's gerald off i'll be missing him me too very much especially he used to wake us both up with a cup of tea you first then me um let's go to emmaus we don't really know the one in limage so this is going to be a new discovery let's go and do some filming for sunday's vlog okay let's go we're going to head home now we had a lot of fun in the charity shop yes and i'm going to edit the interview with jerry which i failed to edit this morning because that's going to go out for my patrons tonight non-stop it was great fun shopping in the imayusen even better news is i managed to film half of one of the sundays at the chateau vlogs i just need to finish filming the other half by showing everything that we bought here in the house i'll probably make a nice table setting with the new plates to show how we might use them and now i am going to order the wallpaper for the downstairs lu renovation some very very beautiful wallpaper that i've been researching for ages yeah okay the loo's still not done we're aware it's happening we're very excited the wallpaper's here so that's something what are you making uh doing the four of the vegas and for us tonight oh fantastic chicken so we get to have this yeah and what have you rubbed it in all sort of spice and ginger syrup which came brought and herbs from the garden [Music] it's midnight and i finished uploading the patron video so i'm gonna go home to bed now tomorrow i've got to film sundays at the chateau and upload that but i'm pleased with today but really sad jerry's gone that was a real shame it's not often i come back to find the entire chateau in darkness only the windows of my apartment are lit everyone else is asleep it's a big day tomorrow because the workshop starts and i think everyone's getting a good rest before that i've just finished the last batch of today's cards mommy i've set myself up in a new spot because i was using that tiny little sort of portable cushion desk in my bed so now i've set up a spot in the corridor outside my bedroom because then i can leave it all set up i think this is going to be much easier before i was writing in the kitchen and i was obviously a victim this is much better and then i was writing in the study downstairs but now that's natty's study and so i just keep getting to a smaller and smaller area but i like this corridor this is going to work there we go mama and now the workshop is about to start so we must make ourselves curious i'm gonna go and greet everyone it's philippe i love philly i'm really looking forward to seeing her marie has made what she calls eggy thing which looks amazing and this one she calls new salad why is it called new salad smelly uh because it's a new salad we hashed from the old one yes cucumber sweet corn chicken from yesterday and parmesan that looks so good yes it looks so good you're so clever it is chillier today mummy and i know you never stopped working but honestly i'd be happier if you were on your shares long exactly right mommy really you should rest because your health is imperative to this chateau so it's actually working for the chateau if you rest that's actually work okay um i have come to interview you i'm running around i've had a lovely lunch did you enjoy my salad the chicken salad it was good with the parmesan very nice uh yes so i'm running around now interviewing everyone in the house so if you don't mind settling into the cheslong i will interview you oh it's great pleasure thank you for the interview mommy i'm off to make the vlog bye the workshop is definitely underway someone's practicing in my dressing room but i have to make the vlog and i think if i stay in here it's not that the music bothers me it's just i'll end up listening to it instead of working because it's just so lovely so i'm going to work on the little table that i've set up in my corridor to drag myself away from the piano okay i have to go and edit that vlog it's 10 to 11 and i'm just getting home i really was late with the upload tonight and i couldn't film any little updates for you because i was so pressed for time i didn't even make it dime down to dinner on time before the others i had to eat after everyone else there was so much beautiful music everywhere in the house from the workshop that i had to set up in my bathroom in order to film that because it was the only quiet room so it was quite quite a trying day in order to get everything together but i was really pleased with the final vlog and it was one that meant a lot to me because i do feel quite passionately about the benefits of living with a lot of other people so i'm glad i made it and i'm feeling on a bit of a high now that it's out and we had a lovely premiere morning mummy how are you i am very well i see you're very busy i'm writing the mackie and mackey's cards this morning oh i'd set up my new little desk yesterday for doing the patron cards but first thing in the morning it's it's too far away so the little portable desk is still the best thing ever today i've got two videos to edit i will be editing uh caddo at the chateau for tonight and i think today i'm going to launch a new channel for caddo at the chateau because it's not really about living in a chateau and running a chat i think we have to do a new channel for it with all of the proceeds of that channel going to charity so we're starting a charity channel okay i think we're doing that today so that's a big day and then if i have time after that which seems unlikely i'll start editing tomorrow's chateau diaries because i'm trying to get a day ahead of myself at the moment i'm doing everything for that day on the day itself yes it's very difficult to get ahead of yourself by making an extra channel but anyway i understand no the thing is i've learned that in life there are two ways of getting a lower workload and one is to reduce the amount that you're doing and weirdly okay this is i'm the only person i know who's got this theory but i think it works the way i've found also works is to add more to your workload because if you do that for a little while and then go back to the original workload you find that actually you're doing everything much faster than before it's much easier than it was i think the the brain is like any other muscle of the body if you exercise it exercise exercise it it gets faster and editing is the same as running the more i do the faster i get the easier it becomes that's my plan that's my theory wonderful and i hope it does work thank you i really love this theory but hi you're probably watching this on sunday when it premieres and it's sunday so i am in no way in advance of myself yet but i continue to hold on to that dream and you have to see where which process of the vlogging you can unload to somebody you can trust certainly i couldn't hand over editing the chateau diaries to anyone else uh because i think that uh well a i enjoy it too much and b it's it's really about how i see the life going on in the chateau but i probably could hand over the editing of something like um caddo at the chateau where we're all sitting together opening presents i think somebody could do that of course but well we'll look into it for the time being i'll be getting on with it we are being joined oh yes the music started [Music] mommy you've improved on the piano enormously have you been practicing how can you possibly work i've got noise cancelling headphones that's not disturbing me at all it's just the problem is it's ten past eight in the evening and it just took me so much longer to set up a new channel than i thought so i've set up a channel called um chateau unwrapped and it's going to be for all of the gift openings at la land and i've managed to set up the channel i've made a little video which will go on to our current chateau diaries channel to explain about that and to ask people to go across but now i'm struggling to get the first gift opening video for it ready in time um i have to leave to upload very soon and i still have about half an hour editing to go i haven't stopped all day little bit of bread and gin and tonic just now and i'm feeling quite chirpy would you like some food i'd love some food i'll bring it to you really is it ready you should love some food here it's ready oh thank you what a treat yes thank you okay i'll carry on oh mommy what a treat you need to eat i didn't put any rice okay thank you oh thank you this is nikki's lovely cooking isn't it he's lovely great thanks bye my mom just jumping into the car to go out and upload the new vlog but look at that moon seems like a very auspicious start to our new channel i don't believe it it's 11 i've still got half an hour to go and look who's just arrived [Laughter] yeah i can't believe it [Music] this is i love you too i love all of you tea milk [Music] and [Music] [Music] i'm yours you should dance like andreas a lot more often [Music] but you're forgetting the andrea's turn do you remember the turn no you have to show me oh i remember now now completely still and then just go [Music] [Laughter] all the way around okay and super on elegance [Music] that was such fun they brought me a cup of tea which i've already finished we've been dancing like crazy people in the middle of the road having great fun and now there's only two minutes left for my upload so i told them they should all go back because i'll sit here once it's uploaded and just post it and then i can go home and join them there oh it's so nice it was really fun seeing them i live with the nicest people extraordinarily even though it said that it was only going to take another two minutes it took another 45 minutes and i was starting to give up hope it's now half past 12. but that's it the video is uploaded to the new channel it's all launched i've done it la land has its charity channel up and running and i feel really good about that very happy and completely fortified from my amazing visit from the girls so i'm gonna go home and sleep very very well and tomorrow i have to make tuesday's chateau diaries i think that should be a lot easier than today was i've been looking at all of the comments on my new channel i'm really happy thank you everyone who's supported me it's only two o'clock in the morning and already we have over 7 000 subscribers on the new channel i can't believe it i think i launched it about 9 p.m or something so it's amazing um and i'm on a real high but i need to get some sleep because tomorrow is a big chateau diaries day it's the most gentle way to wake up [Music] there my darling did you sleep well i slept very well after a job well done and i've woken up to discover that we have over 9 000 subscribers on the new channel and it won't be long till we have 10 000 subscribers well done that's wonderful i'm very happy how are you i'm fine what's happening out there i didn't what's happening out there oh he's in total control gabriella has got everything totally controlled as always she's amazing what a beautiful day i love looking out of the window in the morning and seeing the sun reflecting on the water in the fountain it's midday i've been working in my bed all morning and now i'm going to have a bath the day's been going really well i've enjoyed today's editing tuesdays are always quite complex because i tend to use all of the footage that i've taken from thursday to tuesday and i edit both of the weekly vlogs in one go tuesday and thursday and i'll just slot in anything exciting that happens on wednesday into the thursday vlog then on friday i start filming again for the following weeks two vlogs the bar is perfect and in the bath whilst i'm reading i will be able to celebrate the fact that we have now got 10 000 subscribers on the new channel that we launched last night and more importantly we've had 6 000 hours of watch time in under one day which means that we have more than the 4 000 hours needed to monetize the channel now when i think that it took me months and months and months to get to the stage where i could monetize my main channel when i started out the fact that we've achieved this in under 24 hours blows my mind it's incredible and it's very very good news for the charities that we're going to be helping and the shadow unwrap channel has just gone from strength to strength after that great launch we're already at over 26 000 subscribers and we have made well over 10 000 euros for charity it far exceeded all of my expectations i have a full 15 minutes off whilst the video renders and i intend to make the most of it and cat that amazing woman bought me a bottle of whiskey for my birthday so we're going to crack it open now the summer is back from the beach with a new belt buckle which is very selma and nobody noticed that so we're standing in the kitchen someone walked into the kitchen earlier today and said do you like my new belt buckle it's very me [Laughter] but it is it's so you this is it's 8 30 and i have finished tonight's vlog is uploaded i've made half of thursdays i've made half of one of the sunday ones i'm feeling pretty good about things and look at the view that i had whilst uploading this has been the perfect evening oh my goodness this isn't you're eating it all [Laughter] love you mommy night night nine nights i'm so glad you're back early tonight it's lovely cheers just a couple of insurance claims it's not the end of the world i'm not even going to try to explain what's going on this is very nice to be home with all of these people in time for dinner i think you'd have this delicious meal easier for me to just take my own yeah i think i was told there was dancing promise dancing right [Music] [Applause] good night [Laughter] i'm just editing today's video it's actually the patreon video because today's wednesday and that's the day i make the patron videos but i can hear everybody laughing on the terrace outside my bedroom i think it's already dinner time i've been working on this today i've also been working on tomorrow's video the thursday chateau diaries which i've nearly finished already which is great because i wanted to get a day ahead but then also something happened today very unexpected which is that um we knew for a while that hani who is one of the patrons of laland who's staying here for a couple of weeks she decided to stay longer but she's in the tack room apartment and somebody had already got a reservation for that for tomorrow night so she always knew she would have to move out of that apartment for one night and then i just suddenly thought today well that's ridiculous if she's got to go away why not make a little mini break of it and mommy hasn't left the chateau in ages so we're going to take her as well and the three of us are going to go on a girl's road trip to avignon in the south of france because i'm going to at the same time make a vlog about the history of paul marcel fabrics i'm fascinated by them so i've been spending today booking all of that secretly speaking to the suleiado factory and organizing the visit there and tomorrow i will upload the vlog in the morning ready for tomorrow evening and then we're going to jump in the car and drive to avignon i'm really excited but now i'm gonna run downstairs and have dinner with everyone so that's it that's what it takes to film one week of vlogs at la land because i usually do five vlogs a week a sunday the chateau two chateau diaries one cut out the chateau and one vlog for my patrons and that's what you've seen me making there the very next day we did get into the car we went to avignon we had the most fantastic time and many of you will have seen those vlogs it was just the most beautiful place that we stayed in and i've actually got a little bit of footage from my way back from avignon where i'm already talking about the three videos that i've managed to film there and getting ready for another week of vlogging at the we've chateau been gone for two days and in that time i have filmed for three 30-minute vlogs one about our holiday one about the hotel and one about the fabric company sweetheart that we visited so it's been pretty intense but incredibly fun what do you think honey oh great hello it's totally reasonable it's 10 00 in the evening and i'm wearing my sunglasses of course you are because we have five hats on our holidays i do i had mostly on my head earlier [Music] and she's got your cardigan on nothing without your card going on to go cardinal now thanks jokes and uh bye everyone it has been eight months since i filmed the footage that i've just shown to you and in that time everything and nothing has changed at la land i'm still making five videos most weeks the only difference is that sundays at the chateau is now fortnightly i'm still doing all of the editing myself though i would love that to change in the future i am still editing on the day for the day itself that precious day in advance i keep dreaming about seems ever elusive and the downstairs lou still hasn't been completed but it's good to live with dreams ahead of us but at the same time everything has changed the most noticeable thing for me is the internet a new 4g mask was turned on just a couple of weeks ago and we have amazing wi-fi in the house now and i don't need to go out to upload anymore i have saved hours a week because of that and look where i'm sitting this is a real desk in a real office i have a place to work now which is wonderful and of course since last august the chateau diaries channel has just continued to grow we have nearly 130 000 subscribers and our patreon account is just epic i want to say a huge thank you to our patrons because they are sending over 27 000 a month to restore this chateau and that's why you'll see a lot more renovation in the videos that i'm filming now because so much is happening if you see the courtyard in all of the footage that i just showed you it's like another chateau it's extraordinary so it just shows that all of the work that everyone here has been putting in has been so worth it i i love this job i'm absolutely passionate about it but i did want to show you the reality of it what is it that i really do here because i think it gives you a much bigger understanding of what it is to live at that land and to be a vlogger here and i want to end by thanking all of you for making my dream of life in a chateau come true it's because of the viewers and because of my patrons that i'm able to continue making these videos thank you so much and i will see you on tuesday with more chateau diaries of daily life at la land a huge thank you to all of our patrons at la land who are making this vlog possible especially our duffer and dauphine of la land yayland ether alice allen dan bander whaling banshee brian
