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.

  1. hi carissa and ewan i love all your videos and watching your progress with the farm and improving your kitchen but was wondering what your going to do with all the vegetables you grow grapes etc will you sell them ?

  2. If you get to keep the bike then I would advise you to get one of those childrens sealed trailers….a single or a twin. Then you can take Frankie on rides with you or collect your water with the trailer. I used one to go shopping with a normal bike and they are really helpful if you do not have a car.

  3. When we were children in the 1950s, our parents used bicycles for a number of years without a car. They had carts that would attach to the back of the bike to carry things from the store, or transport things using their bikes. Two bikes, each with a cart might really be useful for you!

  4. My husband has cycled all his life but when MS struck cycling became almost impossible. He ‘reluctantly’ at my request got an ebike (he thought it was cheating too) and has never looked back. It’s allowed him to continue with something he loves.

  5. When we first moved to our 40 acres our soil was really poor and everyone told us it would not grow anything very well and that there were no worms. We are getting older so we did raised beds and put in a mix of the soil, peatmoss, and fertilized garden mix. Then we took one bed and started burying all our food scraps and small bits of plant material in it, turning it in every week and spraying it down with water so it stayed damp but not wet. The next year we rotated beds and did the same thing. We now have great garden soil and lots of worms breaking down all the plant material into wonderful compost. You have much better growing weather than we do so I think if you start doing this is will really help. You are doing great. It is really hard to make your dream a reality but well worth it. I love seeing your progress and the kitchen is loooking wonderful.

  6. Your soil is a hard sandy clay it seems and by amending it as you did should reap a good harvest.
    Those bikes seem great. One of my friends loves hers but I saw on the news the battery exploded and burned down a house. Nor sure what brand it was.
    I like your gardening tool. I could of used it here today when I was gardening. Gotta get me one.
    Keep well. I am enjoying your vlogs.
