Carissa, Iwan, Frankie & Albi
Carissa, Iwan & Frankie decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month they were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call their new home. We picked up Albi the cat along the way. Subscribe to follow our journey as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.

You’re such a talented artist your drawings are beautiful ☺️✍️
wonderfull draw.. congrat
House seems to coming along nicely. Which estate agent did you use when you purchased ? Or do you have any recommendations
The walls will look amazing white and will brighten up the room, love watching it all come together 😃 Iwan's definitely missed his calling as a flight attendant lol 😆
Kkkkk….curious chickens 😄….but, for myself, working in the plants of all kinds are so inspiring and motivating, isn’t it for you!? When you go collect what you planted ? And your place is so nice, simple and so very inspiring 🥰…and of corse, good work improving the wall and you feeling happy with the work…and you like drawing too ..cool…and a I love your work🥰
Nice people 2teach happy Life style, Own decisions, Lovely gardens, fruits, instead of running after corrupted cities Real estate ,waste Fast food, polluted air..
actually the sand storm from Africa is quite common 2-3 times a year for us on the Greek isles and the rest of the southern mediterranean i presume.
How lovely to see how far your land has come. Such charm!! So much work, lol. Sigh
hi
The kitchen is coming on great. can't wait to see the finished project.
Great job on the wall and garden. Please show close-up of earrings. I also make jewelry and art. Please give Frankie a scratch under the chin from me. 🙂 Cheers
50cm? That's half a merte.
I loved the scene, Carissa, of you walking on the path to the garden, followed closely by the chickens and Frankie. 😁
Hi guys in 1982 Melbourne Aust a dust storm the same rolled in that seemed apocalyptic the orange hue from over farming / clearing the mallee a semi arid region the only other was wall of smoke , burnt leaves 500 feet high Ash Wednesday ?came across the bay scary stuff I walked 100 yds it was 1or 2 kms away and was on me within 2 minute semi run , garbage lids flying past me visability 6 metre /18 feet 😳🤭😯
Really like the brick design for a shelf! I am sure it all will look great when finished. The Portugal weather is very strange. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Take care and see you next time.
How come you chose cement versus lime? I’m just curious. I love your place and your videos. I can’t wait to move to Portugal as well. 😊
Your home, your decisions. Love watching the process.
Luv it (: 👍🙏💚
Nice Closing
I love watching all angles of stonework . And I appreciate your post!! It seems it is not an easy job producing films for us to watch. And just like any celebrity that chooses a career in the public eye there is a responsibility. I would be terribly disappointed if I turned my tv on to watch a favorite show and it wouldn't be there… So thanks. But it is important to try and maintain a "normal" life..with rest and fun. It's nice to have chickens in the house especially to play with dad. Thanks again for sharing !!💕
The blocks as cubbies will look great!
I think you need to bring the breeze blocks lower down as the cooker/worktop will be too wide for you to reach most of them, only the section in the middle that is going to be narrower it could work.
IKEA make narrow base units too 37cm deep I think…. We put them and they have been a game changer especially the cutlery drawer and was so inexpensive.
Nice to have a ladies day out. Love the earrings.
House and garden are looking great.
🌸🌟👍🍀💐
Lovely video guys, keep on keeping on ❤️ beautiful artwork at the end😍
Can't wait to show you guys how to chuck render on the walls🤣
Your kitchen is going to look amazing!
Olà boa tarde…
Another lovely video! Thank you C and E.
Lovely video – thank you! I like your idea of using the breeze blocks as a kitchen 'art piece'…very inspiring!
