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.

So wonderful seeing the change from last year. It was a rough few months then! Glad it's gotten better. ❤
Sausage hanging off the table so precious!😊
I think you’ll see the difference now you’ve got your stove. Cosy nights in the damp winter. Lovely that you two, Nick and Ange are such good pals. 🏴
Your home is looking so beautiful! I’m sure it will be super cozy as it gets cooler! Have a good week, Laura 🐶🐶
The floor looks wonderful! All ready and cosy with the log burner for chilly days. You are learning so much with the help of Nick. You can offer your youth and fitness for his jobs. Just protect your knees with all the gardening and those other jobs.
Hi there guys! Thanks so much for being a source of constant inspiration!
We're in the process of building our first tiny home off grid!
I wonder if you ever eat Persimmons?
It’s hard to do the best job without the proper tools. Very nice that you can borrow from the sweet Mr.Nick 👷🏻♂️
Nicola Benedetti and the London Symphony Orchestra have a great collection of classical music from 2005 that would be nice for your videos. I was watching your you tube channel one day and you asked for suggestions and I think you would like it. I found it on Apple Music.
I hope Diogo is feeling better soon. Love your new floor it will help so much with the dust.
Nick is a wonderful friend everyone needs a Nick in there lives.
Yes if you can cook on your stove top it saves buying gas bottles.
You need to go round your land to gather the dead branches for the stove.
On watching your video this week apart from it being a bad year because of the heat your olive trees need a good prune they are too high and straggly.
You have to get a shape like a crown with an open middle so the sun gets in to ripen and you pick all around. It might be worth paying a neighbour to come after the harvest to prune, also you have to keep cutting down any new branches that starts around the trees during the year as this growth doesn't help the rest of the tree. If you prune now you could have a better year next year.
Poor little boy with his cone. Hope he heals quickly. Your tile floor is awesome!
Diogo time goes fast and you will forget the cone of shame. Too bad about the olives. Lots of amaranth seeds though. The tiles look nice. 👌
The Saint Martin (São Martinho) tale also tells that he was a knight that had just come back from battle, and even though it was raining and cold, he shared his cloak with the peasant.
New sub! Awesome channel! 👍🇨🇦😎
Use inflatable cone for your pup. They are so much easier to put on and take off. All of you will feel better.
The room looks amazing, So cozy and welcoming.
For the Amouranth, try to blow the husks from the seeds directly over an area you want to grow new Amouranth. That way any seeds that get blown off won't be wasted.
Did you make the bread as it looked fantastic?
Leave the outlying olive branches on and cut the upright ones.
Push the trees to the side not up.
In Portugal, que cole it "Verão de São Martinho" (the summer of São Martinho), the whinter goad wethar… ☀️☁️😉😊
The kitchen is becaming more and more beautiful… Love it .. 😍👌🏻🥰😘💖🇵🇹
