From one extreme to another! Life in Portugal is a challenge!
If moving off grid isn’t challenging enough, the weather is making it extremely challenging.
The many heatwaves and extreem drought causing many wildfires, was a nightmare to the country.
Now we finally have some rain, and it just doesn’t stop. The last few weeks has been extreme, the amount of water coming down causing severe damage to the country. Many city’s are suffering under the floods, it is devastating to see.
We feel blessed living in the country side! Our land is build to deal with this amount of water and there is minimal damage. The lower terrace is flooded but is build to be that way. In the near future there must be a pond there! Our road is currently the biggest challenge with the extreme amount of water on the land.
Bionda had to leave the land just after the rain, will she be able to go?
We hope you enjoy today’s video of Simple Living Off Grid!

Good to see Dutch is doing better now. Enjoy the few days without rain 😄 there is defenatly more rain now then the past 6 years or so.
👌👌👌
Yeah our vegetable garden and hoop house were completely flooded here in southern Italy too. 😔
Beautiful!
It’s wonderful to see that Dutch is doing better. Do your children go to the local public school? 😊
Não acredite no que dizem os media. Andam muito dramáticos.
I wonder how my land is high seen so many videos on Portugal and the floods take care and I’m so glad to see Touch is doing really well thank you for sharing😊
The biggest visible indicator that Dutch is improving is that he has the curl back in his tail. As soon as I saw that I knew he is on the mend. When they are very sick a curly tailed dog won't generally carry the tail up. Good to see.
Wishing you all a very blessed Merry Christmas. 🎄🕊
Wow, that's lots of water💦… I hope it will be better soon. At least it looks very green😀💚.. Glad to see Dutch is feeling better..🙏🏽🐾
Love from freezing Holland🥶😂🐾💃✌⛄ Joyce & Hippie 🎄
wow that is a lot of water everywhere but at least you can see how it moves and where it builds up, and where not to build any structures, also might be a good idea to build up the sides of the stream for future winters, glad Dutch is feeling better ☺
For now, is just a old normal winter, not a harder or a brutal winter… you guys and others didn't prepared properly for winter… Now is a good moment to see/study the characteristics of your land in the winter, (places of more water, frost, floods, humidity, wind, etc..)
Too bad you all have to deal with another extreem in the weather.. guess one good thing that can come out off it is that you are able to locate all the "weaK" spots on your farm and work around it of change things around, although the longterm outcome won't be unknown immediately. Pray you all stay safe and for the weather to clear up as soon as possible, so you can start the rescue part and live again…with Christmas so near that would be very nice.
…The weather forecasts for Portugal say that the rains will slow down, and that it will get colder.. which is perfectly normal for the winter season… All Good✌😉
turn the tap off …
Glad to see that Dutch is up and around again, and that he’s feeling better. I pray that he will have 100% recovery. So much rain! Take care of yourselves.
Every vlog we watched was water…water…and water, even Lisbon Spain was flooded! Hope everything is ok.
