Off grid life in Portugal can be a mixed bag of tasks and events each week and this week’s video will be evidence of that! It’s been a mix of things, including preserving food, social outings, some essential cleaning and tidying tasks, finally finishing my door step, and I’ve had a bit of solar panic throw in for good measure!
The heatwave here in Central Portugal is over (I hope!) and people are slowly coming out of their zombie states and returning to life as we knew it pre-heat hell. It means lot of gatherings and I’ve enjoyed visiting a lovely local market and also going to an amazing restaurant in a village about an hour away.
Links to everything I’ve featured in this video are below. Thanks, as always, for watching and please do like, share, and comment if you’ve enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Loved everything about this video – the doorstep was extremely meditative. The village was lovely as were the people, the food looked delicious, even the music was perfect. Thank you!
Looks like wood for a trellis
Well done! I love your entrance floor, and your black cat. That dinner looks fantastic! Have a nice day, thanks for share your video with us.
Yes, if you lay the cardboard down and throw soil on the top it will breakdown pretty well. I think it is important to combine work and play. It makes working so much harder when you take time out as well.
I'm really enjoying your new format with social outings, showing a bit of Portugal, and your home improvements. I do have a question that might have been answered and I missed it – who lives right behind you? Is that a neighbour or an empty place? Also, love Mikey!!! He's so cute :-)!
why dont you show us some of your land or are you worried someone may find your location? you are doing an excellent job by the way..are you restricted to what you can do.? and do you follow other youtubers like the indie project or nomadic movement? they are similar to your channel.
Great job, food looked amazing 🤩🤩. Must check out that restaurant.
Awesome and amazing video! I love how you describe things! The pointing looks so good! I love the variety of this video!
Hi K,chilly bomb sauce.
Yum! That fermented chili is gonna be delish, I seen my hubby put a few dried chickpeas in his cabbage to help with the fermentation process• 🇨🇦🇹🇷🌸✌️
I love the crazy paving step into the house. You did such a fantastic job! Would you consider building a porch over the door it would offer a bit of protection from the elements and give the house a bit of outside interest Loving your journey. 🙏🌻🐈🇬🇧🤗
Ferments need to be burped or have lids loose for gas to escape, then explosions shouldn't occur. Coffee filters with a band are perfect lids. I love that you have a 'resource centre', but moving it out of the beautiful view is a great idea, bring on the shed ❤ a change in weather always makes me sleepy. The pointing makes me think of mud pies 🤣 love the knitted cloth to clean it off. Great results. What a gorgeous village! And amazing lunch 😃 Yes, i write comments as i watch and have to keep editing 🤣 wow big difference on panels! I guess any fires in the area would have left fine dust on them too. Really enjoyed the tasks.
That bike still in the box behind you.
It’s great to see other parts of Portugal. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.👏👏👏👏
..is the curtain in the front door made out of macaroni…?…🤔😉
What a great video. Hi from Scotland. Loving watching your life off grid in Portugal.
HELLO KIRSTY, IT GOT UP TO 84 F. AGAIN IN VANCOUVER TODAY…ONLY ONE HOUR OF RAIN LAST WEEK IN OVER TWO MONTHS…THE TOOLSHED BUILD IS CRUCIAL & GOOD FOR YOU FOR GETTING THE DESIGN DONE ON PAPER…ALL THE BEST…🙏;)
Hey Kirsty, have you ever thought of giving your home a name? Casa de la ??
Is it possible to contact you by email ?
Can’t find an adres ?
No messenger or FB please.
That village food looked sooo good! I really don't know how you get anything done having g to get all those camera angles, but am thoroughly enjoying your videos! Stoop looks awesome!
I would not use a locking mason jar. If Portugal has beer & wine hobby stores, I'd get a container with an "air lock" (air locks release gas build up, but don't allow air back in). Pineapples have a lot of sugar, which is what yeasts eat. Yeasts are naturally present on peppers. Yeasts eat sugar & expel gas, thus the potential for an explosion in a pressure sealed jar. You may be fine depending on the thickness of the jar but open it with a towel around the lip for the pressure release.
Exploding pineapples 🍍just luv it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the pointing montage with scraping sounds. Very effective and absorbing.
