Girls name SAHARA Boys name ARMANDO Ermmm the pool? So excited to hear

[@gandrade0501]

I’m Portuguese and I love the way you have highlighted our country. Thank you

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Gen! Your country is beautiful. 🙏❤️👍

[@surely9419]

Several others have bought abandoned properties but seems they’re caught up with Council issues as well as Raising Voyagers in Italy. Curious it seems you guys are able to move forward. Is it the area? Or can you comment about any other knowledge. Thanks

[@claudiapastor]

For me what makes the traveling experience even better is having a comfortable cozy home to come back to... Bringing home the memories of the places we visited and some decorations pieces to recreate some of those places at home...

[@TheNewbys]

Agreed Claudia! Coming home is great, and now we have the farm, it’s even better! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏❤️👍

[@karensullivan3]

It’s very sensible to get to know and understand your buildings and land before you make changes, don’t feel pressured !

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Karen! It’s so kind to be patient with us. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏🙏👍

[@alexandracabral2034]

Newby family, I am a portuguese woman living in Yorkshire, UK. I came across your KZbin platform whilst looking for info on Petra, Jordan of which I'm going to in October 2022. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you all explore Petra and the Waddi Rum and cannot wait to go. I have utmost respect for you all, Portuguese is a tricky language. You have a dream life. 🌈🇵🇹🌈🇵🇹🌈🇵🇹🌈🇵🇹🌈 Best wishes Alexandra Cabral

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Alexandra! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Petra was one of our very favourite adventures, we loved it. We hope you love your own trip. Thanks for joking the rest of our adventure, we are super grateful for you support. 🙏🙏👍❤️

I can’t imagine a life without travel. We had 3 boys in 3.5 years. They have travelled from Australia all around Asia with a bird eye view from our baby backpack. They’re now 18-17-15 and we live in India. I love how they’ve become amazing citizens of the world. Learnt from different cultures and religions. ❤️❤️Look forward to next week’s vlog!

[@noramercado3305]

Hello from Puerto Rico

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Amanda! Agreed. A beautiful life is one that’s on the road and even better shared with kids. India, one of our favourite countries, we can wait to travel there again. Thanks for watching friend. 🙏🇵🇹👍

[@alanlane3869]

I've recently retired, and your content is fueling my desire to get back out and travel much, much more! Even looking at homes in Portugal and Spain. Thank you! Be well.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Alan! That’s great to read. Live your best life!! 🙏🙏❤️

[@hixxyted1244]

Yes it's Sunday morning and time for my favourite KZbin family the newbys!! Nice brew sit down and relax watching you guys on my TV!! ❤️

[@hixxyted1244]

John Tara would love for you do a vlog when you have the new baby like with crusoe when he was born!! Would love for you have a girl one of each so longs as the baby's healthy doesn't matter what sex!!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Carol! 🙏👍❤️

[@Creativezon3]

It takes a village to raise a child and it was so lovely watching the enjoyment between Crusoe and your friends. The lamps look cool and really enjoyed all the questions and replies

[@TheNewbys]

You're so right Shona, and yes, we enormously appreciated the help and companionship, and Crusoe adored them!!

[@marilianogueira5583]

OMG! You have "cabra loura" in your garden. Soooo precious!!! The eldest would put their legs in neclaces, they said it would give them luck. It's so rare to find them now, keep them safe lovely people x

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Marilia! Great to hear from you friend, its been quite a week! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡

[@elenawilson-singer3439]

I am now short of my 71st birthday and think of myself as very privileged to have visited 37 countries inn the course of my lifetime. Whenever and wherever I have traveled, I took the time to read up on the country before going there and it stood me up in good stead. The two of you stand for everything that I believe in. Thank you for

[@elenawilson-singer3439]

Drat. I cut myself off. Thank you for the two of you

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Elena! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Nearly 71, we wish you a happy birthday when it comes around! 37 countries is a great achievement, well done, travel is a wonderful thing for sure. Crusoe sends lots of hugs and we all send our thanks for your support. great to have you along for this adventure. 🇵🇹❤️🙏

[@lucyyoung5307]

I don’t usually ask personal questions of others, I just take whatever others want to share. And I would never ask anyone about their financial status. It’s always good to live on your new property for a year to allow it to speak (direct) you. Your videos are fun, thanks for sharing.

[@hannekirstenpedersen5283]

Thank a Lot for All the beautyfull vidio from so Many country. I have been so happy to see Them, because I would never bee apple to come there. Many god wished too All of you from a Christen woman from Denmark. Maybee you Will come to Denmark. Hanne

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Lucy! That’s a very kind comment. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏👍❤️

[@valoriec]

I can't get over how beautiful your homestead is, wildness and all. I think you got it for a wonderful price. It's well worth it. :)

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Valorie! 🙏❤️

[@julielandy9162]

We loved Portugal when we traveled there. We rented a little house in Avanca. It had an overgrown veggie garden which we were allowed to use. We made curried squash soup and a minestrone. So much fun. Thought of you when I harvested some eggplant for eggplant parmesan. It has taken us 6 years to where we are growing things, eating from what we grow and just loving the world we have created. Take you time. Love it breathe it. How about writting a book or a series of small books from Crusoe's point of view! It would be awesome to reach the younger generation about how you live. Health, happiness and much joy to all of you.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Julie, your adventure sounds like it has been great fun. We appreciate the advice and support from a person who has been before us. The book is a great idea! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍🙏❤️

[@kelliethomson922]

Such a little cutie is Crusoe…and a happy soul. My son is now 16 but I remember those days with him at that age - so precious

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Kellie! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️👍🐘

[@jerridavis6462]

Crusoe is absolutely adorable and he shows good character already❤️so precious!

We are South Africans living in India. I've just discovered your wonderful channel and watched the last 4 shares on the trot....fabulous. thank you! Your property looks so inviting, your lifestyle is glorious and I love that you're expansive in your vision. Truly inspiring....

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Carol! That’s wonderful to hear! Huge love to RSA and of course the eclectic India! ❤️❤️👍

[@carolmidgley5212]

If you want any Indian experience info contact me. We've lived here for 3 years and traveled here on and off for 22 years from Cape Town. Yes RSA needs all the love we can send...... is there a little SA accent Tara or am I imagining it?

[@k.j.2481]

Really enjoyed seeing you with your friends that were visiting. It was great getting them involved in your daily life. The progress you're making is wonderful on your home. 454 Farm is becoming a busy place.🐞

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks KJ! 454 is indeed getting busy! 😊 Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍🙏❤️

[@thumbyblackstone]

The lamps are brilliant! Maybe if you have those metal rings at smaller sizes you can make shades from the bamboo, that would be too cool, you could even stain or paint the bamboo. The farm would be an ideal bed and breakfast, great income! There are so many ways to pull an income from your property, it would make a lovely outdoor wedding or party venue. All those wine bottles ......a real treasure!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Lisa! Some Spectacular idea there, thank you. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️❤️👍

[@AO9R]

I love your energy and patience with your changing plans. I would hope that your viewers tune in to see your life, not to dictate your life. You have a lot of work in front of you, and I would think the pace at which you move, is yours to decide. Plus, I personally think that getting to know the property would be important, so that you improve it and/or restore it, and not conquer/change its essence.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Anne! That’s a lovely comment to read. We will take your advice. Still lots of exciting projects coming up for sure. ❤️👍🙏

[@jojolav4676]

Hello Crusoe, Tara and John❣ It sure is nice to be back❣ It's been about 3weeks since I've been inactive due to my Mom's passing. She was buried June 27th in Guam. Great to be back!🥰

[@TheNewbys]

Hi JoJo. We are so sorry to hear that friend. We hope you are feeling well. Welcome back, and thank you for checking in with us. Be Brave. Think Big and Explore. 😉🙏❤️

[@jojolav4676]

Thank you my friends!💖😘

[@annewillmott3091]

I think your respect for your surrounding environment is instinctively spot on, I’m sure you will in time read clearly where you want that to go. Love the lamps to help shed light in the buildings yet to be ‘found’ again. Thank you so much x

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you Anne, that really means a lot to us and we're endlessly grateful to have you here with us!

[@amandaweber7328]

Tara, a home maker is such a blessing to a family! As the years go by your family will so appreciate it. (I think John already does!) I'm not a home maker. I have 2 friends that are amazing homeworkers, and their families are secure and thriving! And its my 2 friends that are showing me the way of being a homemaker, at my old age💞!!!

[@TheNewbys]

Ahh thank you Amanda x

[@mopanimickey1591]

Congratulations on 50k! 🎉 Soon 100k 😉 Loved the video as always and really enjoyed your visitors. "Little duck" was very trusting after Tania's gentle and reassuring help. Very sweet.

Thank you William. That’s such a lovely comment to read. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏❤️

[@michaelwerner3430]

Greetings from Chiapas, México. It was a lovely Q&A, especially when you have a couple of lovely helping hands like Tania and Adam. Crusoe is so stable on his feet compared to just a couple of weeks ago. The baby fowl are quite adorable, as well. I think your idea sounds wonderful, about right for 3 acres taking your time and building things organically, just fits you from what I can tell, better. You have a tidy shelter, so what's the hurry. The old adage of haste makes waste, is totally true in this case. Have a wonderful and constructive summer!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Michael! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. all very solid advice friend and wonderful support. Thank you!!

[@amandaweber7328]

Plumbing!!! A headache!! We moved into a property that had been neglected and unlived in for 8 years!!! My husband had to fix and replace lots of plumbing!!! My husband decided to put a stop-valve onto every pipe that branched off from main pipe line! This way when there was an issue on that pipe, all Mike did was switch of that stop-valve and proceed to fix it. And the rest of the property. There would still be water, which greatly relieved me, as you know, households use a lot of water. This system also helped to prevent airlocks...💧💦 We were also totally off grid, and we had the sweetest borehole water ever!!

[@TheNewbys]

That’s a great idea Amanda, thanks for sharing x

[@Sam-ib8lx]

Congratulations guys on reaching 50k subscribers! Enjoying your channel from the UK 🇬🇧

Thanks Sam! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍❤️🙏

[@kimberleyking1289]

So... In answer to the more pets question, it was actually a yes! Two Stag beetles friends for Duck and Chicken! ;o) We used to have some in our garden here in Devon, but that was many years ago so I appreciate how their numbers have dwindled over time. It's a little bittersweet that Safari has gone to another home, but the plan for another van renovation in the future is very exciting! I can't wait for those episodes! I love that people were asking when you were going to get around to renovating the rest of the buildings/property.... It's like they somehow missed that there's just two of you and just how much you have done already! Each episode shows (to me at least) such great changes that it's amazing what just two people can do! I'm off to find the podcast now, and wish you both the best of luck for more bamboo-wrangling next week! x

[@TheNewbys]

It’s always so wonderful and uplifting to hear from you Kimberley, thank you for that. Your encouragement and kindness means a lot to us. Xx

A Tree. I do not have instagram & don't usually listen to podcasts, but after watching this episode for the 2nd time I am awestruck by the power of your positive essence to pour forth from just your voices. I learned so much more about you. Your goodness came thru fully by just listening to you share yourselves with us. Thank you again for all that you do and share.

Thanks Peter! Great to hear from you. It’s been quite the ride! We are so grateful for your support friend. 🙏👍❤️

[@jeannineosorio6566]

Yet another enjoyable moment in time with you and friends! I 💘 it! I especially loved at the end when Crusoe chose to go out on his own while the adults were checking out the beatle! One question I would love to ask is if one of your buildings would become livable, would you ever consider renting it just for a few months? Thank you and you are just an amazing and lovable family!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Jeannine! Great question, I think we would certainly be considering something like that in the future, especially is we were to head out on a trip. Thank you so much for watching friend. 👍🙏

[@agneetjevandebron4950]

Hi Newbys, I love to follow your farm adventures and really love to see Crusoe joining in on the activities. The funniest question I think was when you're going to start renovating, I'd never thought of that, I love it as it is. That will all happen in time, enjoy it! I loved the stag beatles at the end, they are rare as you said, I live in the South of the Netherlands where we also have some of them, and I only just learned that the larvae can only live off a sort of white fungus on rotten wood (mostly oak) in the ground, so when you find dead oak tree stumps, don't be too tidy and clean it all up if you want to keep the beatles. Keep up the good works!

[@TheNewbys]

Hi there Agneetje! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. This is fantastic information and detail, thank you. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡

[@philippawood5047]

I would 100% go on a trip to Tanzania with you - I have been away from Africa too long. Please give a good amount of advanced notice about when that would be and rough costs so people can plan to take time out of their routine lives to join, I think a lot of us would LOVE it. Seeing Duck starting to swim was so heartwarming. 💛

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Philippa! We will almost certainly be working on something in Tanzania next year, there is be plenty of advance warning for sure! Great to get back to Africa!! ❤️🙏🙏

[@lindawarnshuis3744]

I enjoyed this video! I really like how you are delving into the history and character of your property. I love the "hippie" vibe you're bringing to this place! Finding treasures and repurposing them is a beautiful thing!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Linda! Great comment to read, really lovely. Thank you. 🙏🙏❤️

[@elisabecas]

Crusoe is so sweet, so gentle 😊 Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Your property is huge, you have lots of space to grow many, many things. It is hard work but there is no money that can buy the satisfaction we get when we eat something we grew. I would love to hear more about those destinations you talked about, I got curious. And those lamps are very cool.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Elisa! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. more about the destinations probably next year we think, it’s an idea we have and would love to a travel a bit with our community. Thanks for your lovely comment friend. 👍🙏❤️❤️

[@chloehagen]

Big big congrats on reaching 50K Newbys! It’s only up and up from here. Fantastic episode, love your candour. Very interesting to learn how KZbin works behind the scenes, also think a unique Airbnb stay would be absolutely brilliant for your property. Thanks for sharing, love following your journey! ☺️🤗

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks so much Chloe, great to have you here with us and so appreciate your support!

[@pjstorrer]

I really look forward to your weekly videos. I just love how happy you appear to be. I know that the water has been a problem, but no problem is without a solution. Now I will wait another week to see your happy faces. If I were 40 years younger, I be your next door neighbor and your baby sitter.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Pam!! Oooh a baby sitter, yes! We need on of those!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🙏👍❤️

[@joannecalcutt6724]

Question:Is that you’re forever home? When you’re young and especially with children, how could anyone know that. Good parents will move or do practically anything that they consider best for their family. Seeing the love and joy on Crusoe’s face tells me what is best for him (and his new sibling) will always take priority. Love and support from South Carolina.

[@TheNewbys]

Agreed Joanne, that’s seriously great advice. Thank you. Crusoe sends lots of hugs and we all send our thanks for watching. great to have you along for this adventure. 🇵🇹❤️🙏

[@peterwhite9261]

So lovely to meet Adam and Tanya. I will check them out. Great Q & A. I think it is very wise to approach the renovations as you plan. Love Crusoe running about enjoying his surroundings. Yes, love the duck and chicken. Did you name them yet? Tara, I feel you will have a girl this time. Both my parents met in Greenland in 1956. They are passed many years now but their memories live on.

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Peter! 1956 in Greenland! AMAZING! Johns been up there once before, beautiful land. We are thinking about Nancy for the chicken and Jits for the Duck. 😊 Thanks again for watching friend.

[@karenviggers7592]

Ah that episode was fantastic. You guy’s are doing an amazing job at the farm. So good to see you all having fun. I’ve added Jits to my subscribe list. Off to search for their podcast. See you next week. Hugs for Crusoe 🥰👍💙

[@louiseclark7967]

Hi, guys. Great video- really enjoyed Adam and Tanya. Having just moved into a 150 yr old Victorian on 2 acres of over-grown gardens and yard surrounded by encroaching woods, I hear you loud and clear about taking some time a assimilate into the life on your property, and get to know and love it. All that new environment and projects and just getting to know the new area, can be so overwhelming, even as it is joyful. And with a little Newby on the way, a step back and a deep breath is certainly ok. Love sharing your journey! Have a great week. Love from CT, USA

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you Louise, that’s such wonderful support. 🙏 have fun with your Victorian building, sounds like a lot of fun! Big love to CT USA. Thanks for watching. 👍❤️

Love to see Cruscoe coping so well with the terrain he is so confident, and then a Stag beetle, wowee a monster. It’s great to see how much he loves the fruit too, happy days to come with your new born also. Absolutely fascinating all you are doing there, it’s a wonderful place to bring up children, a happy place. WCL

[@thebutterflywings7462]

I a so glad i came across your channel, actually when you was still living in Safari. I loved the look and layout of that van. I am even more interested in seeing where life lakes you now you have the farm. What an amazing setting. Along with the EXPAWERS who are also looking at land in Portugal, i think it is a forgotten part of Europe. I said to my husband, you are my new favourite KZbin family. Thank you for opening up your life and allowing us to have a peak into your lives. Along with seeing Little Handsome Crusoe and his brother or sister grow up and hopefully extend the love of travel both you have. i wonder if you and the expawers may have a callab some day? Take Carr Ally xx

Another great vlog. Love your positive attitude to everything there. I’d be having tantrums over that water situation. Loved hearing the questions answered. The farm is just a new type of adventure for you. My daughter is in Portugal for the summer, from her descriptions I realise why you chose Portugal to settle in. Have a great week

[@lawood-to-os]

Thanks for your answers. Was just in France and saw many, many bamboo displays in gardens and now I know (thanks to you) why they are often in isolated spots (away from other parts of the garden).

Thanks Laura! Bamboo has a reckoning day fairly soon on the farm. We can’t wait!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍🙏❤️

[@Ex-patKiwi]

I thoroughly enjoyed today’s video as well as Jits’ podcast. Great answer to the renovation question. Take your time and plan out what you want. Given that Tara has reached her third trimester the last thing you want is to be in a major construction zone, just keep those projects ticking over. Howdy from the ex-pat Kiwi living in Oz.

Having done capitalism and off-grid permaculture in the city of Melbourne Australia (same latitude as Lisbon) my husband and I are rooting for the groundswell of people doing this in beautiful, rich and once abandoned settings. Your journey is impeccably resourceful, and your children are being given something incredibly valuable - never doubt that.

Christine here, wonderfully interesting video, look forward to each one. Hope your water problems are sorted out now. I am very interested in family history too, done lots of research on my husband’s and mine, back to mid 1600’s. Hugs xx

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Christine! Wow, 1600’s that’s amazing. Well done! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡

Love love love watching how everything is progressing. Wonderful surprise to see your amazing guests. Couldn’t think of a better group of four to watch, maybe do some more together :)

Great news ! Congratulations on the 50k ...we are in our 60's moved full time to our 44 acres vineyard /rural accommodation retreat in 2017 in Queensland , Australia. We are semi self sufficient with solar, rain water harvesting, veggies, chooks , etc. and love to see other young people doing it !

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Rudy! It’s a great adventure. 44 Acres must be mega! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️👍🙏

💕 Love your vlog this week - thank you for answering the many great questions and sharing your lives with us! Also love what John said about waiting a while before smashing and changing your home - it looks like it’s seen a lot of life before you became its new owners and it would be hard to just tear down those memories and structures without living in it a while and see how it speaks to your family.

[@TheNewbys]

Agreed LapFamily6! Good solid advice and support here friend. Great to hear from you and thanks for watching.

[@christinelindup7209]

I personally think your channel is one of the best and I absolutely love watching you guys, I have learned so much by watching you. So I truly thank you you are both so caring and natural xxx

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you Christine! Such a lovely comment to read friend. Crusoe sends lots of hugs and we all send our thanks for watching. great to have you along for this adventure. 🇵🇹❤️🙏

[@Alfablue227]

I am so happy you guys are planning to keep on going places even after the 2nd baby arrives. As I grow older and my joints, backs give away, I find it more and more difficult to keep going. When I finally find my opportunity for a trip Safari in 🇿🇼 (also reaching for my 50th country) I buy it all on a whim and wonder how I am going to do it; but I will. I now can't sleep from the excitement and it's 1 yr away. Keep up the good work. 😅🙏😍❤️🇵🇹❤️

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you friend! We hope your adventures keep you feeling healthy and fit!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍❤️🙏

You have a marvellous life. Caruso has the best education system right now it’s hand on learning. What you do or don’t do on your land is entirely up to you guys. It’s your life and home. Have a wonderful week. Take care.

Thanks Debbie! What a lovely comment to read. Thank you friend. we are having so much fun here on the farm. Great to have you joining us. 🙏🇵🇹🏡

[@wendigareau7298]

Another great video, you both have so much energy and are so positive! I have travelled in Portugal and love it. You have already done so many improvements to the farm and it is good that you are thinking and planning on how you want to do the major improvements. That will avoid having to redo them in the future. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Wendi! Great advice, thank you for your support friend. 👍🙏❤️❤️

[@lindastone9385]

Thankyou so much for such a fun vlog. it was lovely seeing so much of the farm. Lamps are such fun to make. During lickdown hubby made a row of hanging lights from Golden Syrup cans. Plus an angle poised lamp from a chunk of oak and some Illy coffee cans. They certainly provoke conversation! Happy making!!

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Linda! That’s such a cool idea!! Bet those Golden Syrup cans never looked so good!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 👍👍❤️🙏

I listened to your podcast with Jits and it brought me over to your channel. I loved listening to your travel stories and now watching your videos. I jumped straight into looking at houses in Portugal haha maybe one day! Will be following along on your journey!

[@TheNewbys]

That’s so cool Nico, thanks for coming over to join us, means the world to us and we’re excited to have you as part of the journey!!

[@tracybrown6207]

Hi, loving your channel. When drilling glass or tiles, stick a piece of electrical tape over the spot you want to drill and it will stop the drill bit from moving around, making the job much easier and also reduces the risk of cracking. We have stag beetles round here (near Heathrow), they are scary and my cats have been nipped by them. It is nice to know they are thriving round here though, as they are endangered.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Tracy, that’s a great idea about the tape! Go Stag beetles!!! 👍❤️❤️

[@Trishisadish]

I just discovered you all yesterday! I bonked my head and had to go to the hospital.. while resting I so enjoyed your channel and family..your son reminds me of my son.. always exploring and learning and I love how free range he is to do that... excuse the animal reference but he is a delight❤ to watch

[@TheNewbys]

Yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure Trish. So sorry to hear you bonked your head, hope you feel better soon! We always love hearing from you and are so appreciate of all your support. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday 🏡😊🇵🇹❤️

Congratulations on 50K. So happy for you. ♥ Don`t forget that in October it begins to rain. With another baby it would be a good idea to move to the other building but I understand that the renovations are not easy. Sending love from Lisbon. Keep positive ♥

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Rosario! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Thats fantastic advice! 🙏🙏

[@cindy-ml7vo]

You did get on. You got an indoor couch, an outdoor couch, figured out the water system, became duck & chicken parents, cleared land to see what's going on (thankfully decided to leave the grapes until you see what they produce), found paths, found trees, planted a few things and built an outdoor shower. I believe in doing it once and well. Take your time, you are doing plenty already.

Hello from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Watching you for over a month now and I have shared your channel with my daughter and husband who just got home from a lovely honeymoon in Lisbon, wine country and Porto. Also, I am very curious about the idea of travel with you in the future that you mentioned in this episode so I will stay tuned to watch your progress with your farm and your growing family. Sending hugs and only best wishes to all “4” of you.

[@andreacole9944]

I agree with so many of your subscribers regarding living somewhere for a while before changes are made. I follow this process myself with all the places I’ve lived. I like to make a space my home but as far as major changes I don’t do those until I’ve lived there for a while. I think it’s a really smart idea.
