Stone house Portugal| We found a water mine!

It is amazing what a bit of hard work and determination can do on our farm in central Portugal. In order to get an idea of the lay of the land and to open up the spaces on our farm, we spent hours strimming the land, cutting down weeds and brambles and removing old sheep fencing. Some of the fencing had been nailed into trees and become embedded as the trees grew. This made the task even more difficult. Of course the weeds and brambles took advantage of these scenarios and added to the problem. After also clearing away a tangled mess of brambles and removing old structures attached to a rickety old sheep shed, we uncovered a real gem- a water source, in fact a centuries old water mine!

So glad you have a weed eater, or whatever you call it there. So much work to do, but what you have done looks great❣️

Hi Patty in USA! Thank you so much for your lovely comments. We should be getting another video out today.

The brambles come back. But the more you strim them back the weaker they get. Three years of strimming brambles and mostly we have grass now. Great work and find!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you so much. Good advice.Sounds like you're not a big fan of brambles either, so well done to you for getting it all sorted!

I am also watching from NZ. That is a fabulous property you have. I hope that you sometime can give us some history of the house and property. The house has obviously belonged at some time to an affluent family.

A pond is a thing of beauty. Have you considered building a Natural Swimming Pond? There is a YT channel called David Pagan Butler on this subject.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi friend. We agree with you. We will check out that channel

[@annematten7218]

Do you think the trees were planted to shade the water source?

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi Anne. It's possible but we definitely appreciate the shade now

Hi there ZE. Great to have you with us

[@roxyjackson893]

inplaats vuur te stoken koop je beter een hout verhakselaar en zo kunnen de houtschilfers terug in de natuur gebruikt woprden het houd onkruid tegen of gewoon decoratief rond de beplanting en veel beter voor de natuur nog veel werkplezier

[@TeaAndTinto]

It's a good idea. Hopefully one day we can invest in one 🙂
