The Garden

Working on the garden today. Bit overgrown, water tank that needs inspecting. Still a long way to go but want to clear as much as I can before we head back to the UK to start packing for our return back to the Kasbah in Mazara del Vallo, Sicily.

The jungle disappeared 😅 It did have a charm but it's more healthy for the trees and the walls to get rid of the jungle. The bassin in the middle should be a feature like a fountain,your house is mauresc, so obviously a sehrij or bassin in the garden is normal, u can find similar features in northern Mediterranean, its also a roman feature too to have a bassin in the middle of the courtyard/garden. It's beautiful 😍. Historically in summer people use to live downstairs while in winter they moved upstairs,that's why u can find many rooms downstairs too.

Many thanks. That all makes perfect sense. I have a plan to put in a small fountain or water feature there.

Bravo! What an incredible transformation in the garden area - can hardly believe it’s the same space! You’re doing a great job - keep it up. So glad I found your channel and I’m looking forward to seeing what you have planned next! (and don’t worry about the haters … some people apparently just need to complain. The rest of us can be patient while you learn the ropes starting a new vlog. I don’t think it’s 90% you talking. I think it’s just the right amount.)

The garden has so much potential, it will look great.

Le jardin sera magnifique ! Beaucoup de possibilités ; vous avez le temps pour planifier et y rêver durant votre absence😊

The camera is moving to quickly, slow down

That'll be a lovely garden once all is said and done.

Think we are going to go along the route of a Kasbah, Moroccan style garden. Oh and some plants to help keep the Mosquitoes away :-)

Anda begitu semangat membersihkan kebun yang anda miliki, itu adalah pekerjaan yang sangat bagus dan positif.

The 'ivy' was trumpet vine and the 'palm' was yuca. I have both in my garden in Crete and they love the dry hot climate. But they do need to be kept in check...

Hi mate good luck! We are thinking the same (but without the work as DIY not our thing). How does it work with Brexit as you can only spend 90 days out of 180 down there?

[@kenhunt5153]

Too bad with Brexit. The time gaps are a killer.

Some individuals are trying to give you feedback on what they prefer to view. While there delivery of the message appears rude their intent is to assist your production in a positive manner. Review them, reflect on them and adjust according to your preferences. It does appear from your discussion that you will be absent for sometime? Can you have someone videotape the work? I believe that is what interest most individuals is the work in transformation. Otherwise, you may lose viewers.

[@oliviabishop5451]

I would watch but nothing is long enough to bother..oh well

[@mocarra100]

I just discovered your channel but I also heard you say that you wouldn't be back here for another 8 months? So does that mean, your channel won't start until then.

[@MovingtoSicily-xh9yz]

Nope, there should be enough content lined up to cover our move and progress on the house. We are already back in Sicily and plenty happening :-).

[@rhondasullins9098]

I'm loving the videos but I can handle your intro.And I have the Is fast forward them. sorry

[@mocarra100]

@@rhondasullins9098 I agree 👍

[@caughtonsecuritycam]

Watched all your content. 90 percent is your face in the camera talking. Nobody wants to see that. There is nothing in your videos that actually show you did any work. Two seconds moving things around and boom the area is cleaned. Nobody wants to see that either. By the way you have no idea how to actually clean a floor. You should stick to what you know cleaning is not your bag. That is if you are indeed the one cleaning. There is no actual evidence that you actually did the work.

[@mariannekuijpers9298]

Moving to Sicily, I have scanned through the content and it struck me that "90% face in the camera talking" could be close to reality. However it is a beautiful house and Garden!!! It has everything to make a great B&B and produce content for a great vlog that could be interesting to a lot of people. You do need to work on your vlogging skills if you want to get a larger following. Maybe I missed it but who is"we"? Maybe provide the viewers with some background information, where you from, what did you do before? Do you know people on the island? why sicily? A map of your property, rooms etc. General direction regarding, restoring and decorating. You are missing part of the roof? I would start top and work my way down. I wish you all the best!
