[@timeflysintheshop]

Thank you for a very relaxing video. Health, and Happiness to you and your lovely family in the new year! 🎉😊🎉😊🎉

[@rachelfrees1268]

I love seeing the kitchen outside of the house. I’m from the Deep South of the USA. We had kitchens outback of our houses when I was a young girl. At 85, today, I appreciate my microwave stove and just eating healthy. Love this family.❤

[@luisaleonardi666]

You were amongst the first to appear on videos and I 've been following your lifestyle since the beginning. Love you all and the way you find a solution to any occurrence. Happy new year Lea,Martin and your lovely kids.❤

[@Grandma_NC]

Your new kitchen is a definite upgrade. More counter space and room for storage. Happy Holidays.

[@thizizliz]

Yes! It looks so much nicer to prepare food in. And the view from the yurt now! My gosh, so beautiful.

[@sammie44]

Caldo verde delicioso!. What a wonderful video. Happy family! 😊 See you in the new year. Sam 🇨🇦

[@daveallen424]

Just a small tip from someone who lived in South Africa for many years, dry out your used tea bags, jar them in paraffin and use them as fire lighters, works like a proper fire lighter, love this channel, we'll be in Portugal next year setting up our farm life, Merry Christmas and happy new year to you guys 💪

[@rachelfrees1268]

Two very intelligent folks living in tune with nature. You are not existing, you are thriving.🎉😂❤

[@daveallen424]

We currently live in the UK and sometimes it seems like we are only existing, however, having lived in South Africa for so long I definitely relate to your lifestyle in Portugal, I have farmed and am a very technical person, my partner is nervous about the move as she moved from Poland to the UK 15 years ago and basically only knows this way of life, I've now convinced her to make this big leap and she seems more comfortable ( after many months of convincing i must say),anyway, we are subscribed to your channel and will continue to be inspired with your progress, thanks again for sharing your journey, keep well, maybe we will all meet some day soon, as we say in South Africa, sterkte en Al's van die beste💪

[@lindamaldonado6807]

I do miss you guys. I especially enjoy your cooking videos. I miss seeing your children grow.

[@JudySnyder-dv5ld]

I love your new kitchen! The pie looked so yummy. All your cooking looked yummy. Your skirt is lovely.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

The pie is one of my favorites :) Need to make it again this week

[@sa9861]

Lovely to see a vlog from you…. All the best for the New Year 🎉🎉🎉

Dat ziet er heerlijk uit!!! En wat missen we de blauwe lucht!!! Wat een fijne kachel!

[@sgrvtl7183]

Such a beautiful video, loved your walk to the garden and gathering the beautiful cabbage & chicory. Your new kitchen is working very well for you, and enjoyed the cooking, all the food looked super yummy! Thank You for Sharing ~~💚

[@ianmaccormac]

Nice to see a better kitchen in use and you all look and sound contented and happy! Have a great 2025! Cheers, Ian in Blackpool

[@mariaestermalheirosrozenqu7266]

Boas Festas querida família!🎄🎆🎇✨️🍾🥂

[@andypayne1571]

Another great little look into your lifestyle, thankyou for sharing.

[@thefatbaker]

I like the idea of calling your rooster Luigi 🐓 he must be a handsome rooster !

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

He is!

[@clearingland]

And a couple of useful tips here - I find cleaning the wood fire glass an awful job so will try the wood ash/water option, and I also like the idea of those pine cones as firelighters - great idea!

[@odilia3795]

Beautiful place to live ❤❤❤❤

[@libbylong9059]

You are correct about most people not liking to wash their own clothes; I mean, I had to when I had no choice...so glad I got out of THAT hole! And yes, I did watch your vlog! 🤭 Happy New Year!

[@theaweggen6805]

So nice yeah a video have a happy new year😊

[@venturingout4235]

Happy New Year.

[@rezaghoroby7753]

Happy new year for you and for all your family in peace , joy , health , security , happiness , blessing . I am sorry for my late message .

[@janicedelp2775]

Hi, Lea and Maartin! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! As always, I enjoyed this pleasant and heartwarming video. I love the walk to the garden with your pretty skirt, sweater, black hose, and carrying the veggie basket. The food looked heavenly! I give my chickens scraps from the garden, too. I have split plenty of wood in younger days. Even though it's hard, there is comfort in knowing you will have good warm fires. We are blessed now that one of our son's cuts and splits our wood, we just have to go get it at his house and place it on our porch. The video of everyone sitting around the table eating your delicious meal was like so special. Take care, and many blessings are sent your way. Janice from Arkansas USA

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Thanks Janice, hope you have a good new years 😊 Hopefully our kids can help with the chopping in the future too, they already help with stacking all the time.

[@rachelfrees1268]

Thanks!

[@rachelfrees1268]

Happy New Year.😊

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Thanks Rachel, that's very kind of you! Happy New Year to you too❤️

[@eddisianc8639]

This time of year is hard for me, this video was so timely and soothing. Thank you for sharing this window into your life.

[@FrugalQueeninFrance]

Happy new year

[@dawng2349]

Maybe a treehouse/play fort is a future build for the kiddos? 🎉

[@gilfernandes8446]

That fire start by the end of the movie is so beautiful, i love do that ❤

[@stknmggs1788]

So much to enjoy! That view, the winter garden, gorgeous from ingredients cooking, I really enjoyed this.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Happy to hear that :)

[@pagecericola7342]

Happy Healthy New Year from USA

[@atticuskilby515]

Great video and I love your choice of music!

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Glad you liked it!

[@empret7704]

See you next year ... enjoy the family and friends 😊

[@nettp7773]

I am impressed that your garden isn't eaten by animals. We have deer, javelinas , and rodents.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

It’s always been fenced 😊

[@nettp7773]

❤

[@jeanelliott7491]

I love your new channel!!

[@mariagenaresende-b2f]

Put corks from wine bottles in a jar with denatured alcohol and use it as a starter for your fireplace. A good way to recycle the wine corks. Nice to see you all are okay, calm and happy. Happy Holidays, and a hapy 2025 full of whatever you desire. ❤❤🍀🍀🍀🍀 I also have other channel, so I will follow you with other identity, in your new channel. Good luck,as if was for me ! 😍😍💕💕

[@skaraborgcraft]

The "Luigi" comment sounds like a private joke! Miss me some fresh greens. Can you believe +9 and no snow in Sweden. Happy new year to you and the family.

[@coppertone711]

Wishing you all a wonderful New Year. I am glad to see the chickens are doing well. I saw eggs here 8$ per dozen yesterday. I also heard the 18$ a dozen and was concerned for my flock and the health scares here. I cannot say if it helps but I keep nettings to try to keep other birds and bird flu from my girls. No roosters allowed in towns. We are approaching cold of winter here. Looking at my books, most of my hens are 2017 hatch some are 2019. Beautiful meal you always make. .

[@sandrawray542]

Happy New Year and keep the videos company... love the ones with family and your cooking

[@Jaantoenen]

Mery Christmas and happy new year. Cheer Feliz Ano novo to your beautiful family.

[@OPS59]

[@suchetadutta1570]

Happy new year 🎊🎊❤ ❤you

[@stevedowding1681]

Nice to hear the shout out for Luigi.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

✊

[@edvanhagen2363]

fijne jaarwisseling gewenst en tot 2025 uit het Zeeuwse, lekker hoor dat eten 😂

[@sherry2836]

With your lovely garden so far from house, do you have it fenced in to protect veg from wildlife? Rabbits would have feasted on that cabbage in my garden!

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

It’s always been fenced 😊

[@lidijafichtner7080]

Happy new year and all the best in 2025 🎉

[@coby6417]

Voor jullie allemaal een gelukkig en gezond nieuwjaar 🥂🌟🍀👍💐

[@emveecee]

So lovely to see you again! When he was young and we’d return to Portugal to see family, my son used to call caldo verde “grass soup”😄.

[@champagnjethersiahdduvenag6078]

❤🎉 Seer bly om te sien dat jul nog steeds aan die gang is in Portigal. Maak jy self suiwel produkte?

[@JFK666666]

Love the video! :) Why not get an electric wood-splitter, running on solar? Will for SURE save your backs a lot of pain in the future....

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

For now this works 😊

[@tonisee2]

Thanks for sharing, those meals even look delicious! 🙂Happy end of the year! P.S. Do you have any info or estimates how much that partial shadow of trees on solar panels affects charging of the battery pack?

[@janenewley1014]

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda I chi😀. (Happy New Year in Welsh😀) Jinxy

[@shirleygardner5483]

No one wants to wash their clothes by hand! They may have too but they do not want too. Happy New Year! All the best for 2025.

[@janenewley1014]

What a lovely skirt and jacket…are they traditionally Portuguese?

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Thanks! No they’re not Portuguese, but they are vintage 😊

[@daffs0]

❤😁🎄

[@srutoto]

Why do you blur out the chicken scene at 16:45?

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Mostly because I thought that was funny 😅

[@susandach5227]

Why don't you build a pallet house

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

We’re still planning on building an earth bag house

[@ram1brn]

why are you splitting wood that small

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Because our stove is not that big

[@betisa5187]

Feliz 2025

[@lifevorce]

Kiss your children and realize the day may come when they ae gone-

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

I’m sorry for your loss.

[@lordhoho1]

Sorry but that doesn't look like winter. Hello from Canada

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

You get -40 in winter we get 40+ in summer :)

[@anthonypk7281]

I want a wife like her.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Trust me, you don’t 😂

[@paesDalmeida]

❤🌲🎄😘

[@scottstephens4587]

I assume you get a better breeze up there along with the beautiful view. Any drawbacks from your move?

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

We’re more exposed for sure. Pretty happy up here, just a shame my garden is so far now 😅
