Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

A well deserved ending to a productive day, Theo! It's amazing what you all have accomplished on that once overgrown and wild property. It looks super beautiful and well organized after all the hard labor you put into it. You have accomplished what would seem the impossible in a short period of time, and are one in a million, Theo. Have a great time in North America!

You could put a Ballcock system in the Goats water container ... That way it would automatically keep filling, saving you time and energy. You'd just need to check it was working properly from time to time. It's what some farmers do for sheep.

I agree with Theo about a clean car ready for the mot,I always have my car cleaned just before so she is pristine looking and ready for her close up so to speak. I wonder if maybe the Goats ibc tank needs to be covered as regards leaves from the tree falling in? It will be nice for Bee's mom and friend to look after the animals and property and lovely for Bee&Theo to go exploring America&Canada.

We have Provinces and territories not states. The 10 Canadian provinces are Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. The 3 Canadian territories are Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon. I think British Columbia is the most Picturesque Province. I live in Kelowna B.C. and I know you are going to love not only the scenery but the people as well. I would suggest you visit our Capital city, Victoria. It is the best time of the year to see it in all it's floral majesty. Welcome to Canada.
