This week we collected some olives for brining, found some hidden grapes, made an autumnal salad and helped out Nick from Project Portugal.

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.

Hello Carissa and Iwan. Wasn’t it just olive harvest time? I remember last year’s harvest. Bonus grape harvest for a bit of fizzy wine. The table in the living room is a great idea. See you next week. I love seeing the shots of your property and, of course, your beautiful dogos❤️❤️
Oooh i'm gonna have to look at olive fly, never heard of it so presumably not here. What management practices are available for it? I know we need to be extremely strict with Mediterranean fruit fly here.
Would nasturtiums grow there? I could just see them spilling over the rocks. And they are edible!
What can a grower do about the destructive flies?
Have you ever planted one to see if it will grow?
Nice and relaxing video! Have you got the wood burner in place? Have a great week!
Have you done an olive harvest yet with those 100
Again, so interesting watching you both with your projects. Beautiful video editing…and the music! I think fall may be my favorite time in Portugal…as seen via armchair traveling. Animals can teach us so much; a safe and warm place to lay our head with friends.
Beautiful video👀❤❤❤
Não é ainda cedo para isso?! Costuma-se fazer a apanha da azeitona em Dezembro.
Loved the olive throwing, we need to play beer pong! Oooooh more fizzy wine❤️ loved Albi cleaning Diogo. Loving the seedlings, think you may be a bit early with the chick peas😁Andrea is very jealous of your greenhouse🤔😡🤣
Nice crop gathering beautiful video again guys ❤️
Iwan how about using a stainless steel rotary food mill (usually used for tomatoes) to press the grapes?
I don`t have any olives this year!
I have an olive a little bit bigger than your baby one in S.E England and I was hoping for something this year as it's been hot … for here! But nothing
Love the dog taking part in everything!
Your property is so pretty – looks like just the right amount of sun and shade and a perfect size to be able to manage the land, the animals and all the tasks around the property.
Iwan and hus arm full off girls were so adorbs. Your rainy glade walk was pretty… i wondered if you might be at Nick & Andrea's. It's so good you can help them, too. That soup looked delish. And your capture of their billiard room happily occupied was a first i think, wonderful. Sweet greenhouse sproutings. Beautiful garden, srsly garden🏵🌼🍃🌿 salad, scary slipper.
Will you be tiling the kitchen floor before winter?
How adorable is your tiny but productive olive tree 🤗. Thank you letting us feel as tho we're right there with you thru your olive mini project.
Please include your making it rain olives from above to camera doen below in your big harvest video again. Loved that clup last year. Your land is looking autumn beautiful. YES, never waste found grapes, more Iwan fizzy wine 🙆🏻♀️!
Glad it was a beetle. For a sec I thought you were having a small earthquake.
I would like to tell you you are one of 2 channels I like to leave the music on! most of them are just annoying. I look forward weekly to your relaxing videos
