Beijinos e abraços,
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.

Beijinhos de Lisboa 😘🙏😘😘❤️
😲 wow already hot, but yes sun has always this sample, it is warming up….and to begin with I loved seeing your seating hanging behind you. It is. Very popular bed stile in Brazil north and north east area. Typical in warm and simple leaving stile. Your flowers are just gorgeous and the house getting more and more homey 🥰💫🤗
Lovely video again guys, (Nice Pencil)
Shelves are looking ace❤️
Kitchen is really taking shape. You've worked hard on those shelves Carissa they look brilliant. Loved the chickens bath, great idea xxx
Have you considered sanding the edges of the shelves to smoothen the cement? Doesn't matter how it's done when you are not a professional, the important thing is to get the result you want! Keep up the great work!
Here’s a long term plan in the current climate with your well and water tank contact kris harbour natural building looking at your power in the future and generate a great following .. plus there are other options with the land St nick has all the ingredients for hydro power
Take a look at kris in north wales ?

Name suggestion for the gecko? Gary the Gecko! 😄 Lovely video again, thank you for sharing 😊
Nick being from Project Portugal.
You guys are doing an awesome job..your shelves look great and the kitchen is coming along great keep up the good work…
Wow, love the red of your roses. Maybe you can plant cuttings from it in other spots you'd like to admire them? Your projects continue to come along nicely. Maybe the heat made it harder some how to render the blocks 🤷🏻♀️? Very kind of you to make the chickens their own wading pool, and even more so to remind us to send poor Cindy some love💗🌟.
I just love yr place , its a perfect amount of space . Thanks for yr hard work sharing it 🙂
My grandmother used to propagate roses by cutting off a blooming stem, planting it in rich dark soil and placing a glass jar on top making a small green house and keeping it moist until rooted. I thought you might want to propagate the rose by the well. It is a beautiful color
Thanks for the list of other channels Carissa. There's 3 that I didn't know about. I look forward to enjoying their experiences too ☺
Are you going to do anymore brick shelves?
Beautiful sunny central Portugal. I long to come visit that part of the world because of watching you two, Nick & Andrea, Theo & Bea, and Cindy. Your kitchen is coming along beautifully. Your animals are delightful.
Merchandise price in dollars. People will understand what the price will….. Might sell more……… just a suggestion……..
Thank you for mentioning us on the description and it was so lovely to meet you! I really hope it repeats soon x
Love the vibe of your videos guys.

The rose is beautiful and what a lovely surprise for you to discover. The kitchen is really coming along now and I love your unique shelves. Stay cool because 30 degrees is a tad warm, we Brits are just not used to it and in Wales less so.
Hey guys! loving the look!!!!!!
Shelves are lovely
Chickens can get into trouble with ponds they can get waterlogged and drown so be careful
You are so artistic, what about adding colour in the back of the blocks or some pattern painted in? Might be cool.
Can I tell you how cute those chickens are ? Those roses are brilliant…can they be transplanted? i know nothing about roses, but when we went on a trip to Napa Valley to the wineries the roses were planted in the vineyards everywhere
Hi guys! subscribers here, we follow and enjoy your channel . I'd like to comment, but please don't take it as a criticism, just a warning because we care. You mentioned the hot weather and it seems to be frequently sunny where you live. You spend lots of time outside in the sun, I rarely see you guys wearing a hat or covering up. There is great danger now from UV rays . The ozone layer is being destroyed and uvc is hitting the earth. normally uvc does not penetrate to the earth surface. UVC is the next to xrays and can cause skin cancer in a short time period of exposure if not blocked. You may notice how intense the sun is on the skin. Here in Newfoundland we usually never hit 35c even in high summer, average day temps for mid May are quite cool with lots of rain and cloud (like Wales!) today it was over 17c with forecast 20c tomorrow, clear skies and sun, unusual weather. It is also quite dry here for May. I work outside all day long ,vegetable gardening, wood cutting etc, I wear a heavy zinc cream, skin, protection and wear clothing that does not expose any skin , such as legs or arms. I wear a large hat with neck protection. Just so you can know that it's not just my extreme, weird thinking, check out Dane Wiggington "UVC the sterilization of planet earth part one". All the best guys, have a great summer! Howie.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 love you guys.
Great vlog l liked how you broke it up into lots of different parts 🙂 Albie is sooooo funny lol
Carisa you might try just mixing up cement and water….no sand.. make a thick paint out of it ….and paint it on to the fabulous shelving unit you have made😊
🌀💚🌀Thanks for the video! 🌀💚🌀
Cut a piece of your rose put it in a potato and it will grow roots then plant out look on you Tube
It's not even where the wooden shelf is. The cement blocks will be pretty when painted.
going well you guys
How much solar power do I need to power a PS5 for 12 hours a day. These are the sort of questions your fans want answered😁?
You should take cuttings from the rose? 12in ones shoved 11pms down into one of your garden beds and watered would be ready to lift by the autumn. You could plant one round the kitchen wall.
🌟👍🍀💐
Thanks
Love ❤️ your videos! I'd keep the shelf cut the same medium brown color… your basket matches.
I too was there and know everyone.
Keep the shelf dark
Couple in their early 30's…. it can still be changed into "young couple"!
GO CHELSEA !!!!!!!!
It is between 80F and 90F here in Central Vermont and, according to forecast will remain so for at least 2 weeks.About a week ago it was below freezing (31F) one morning !! Weather authorities have been pushing caution to those who feel like jumping into a lake to cool off !!!
Trouble is that these air temps are usually found in July and August and so swim able waters are likely to stun.
I am a huge Jazz fan so love sitting out under the huge maple watching your video and enjoying the tunes !!!
Dreams coming true!! One day maybe you can have an air conditioner either made or traditional.
Oh my gosh your kitchen look amazing
Thank you for sharing 😁
I really like the way you did your kitchen shelves with the bricks. A creative and unique piece!! 😊😊😊
Love everything you are doing and in time a life time you will get there
