This week we are clearing the land, using new Hilti tools, having a fire and giving you a tour of our little house.
many thanks to Maarten and Lea @Our Portuguese Homestead for their continued advice and support in helping us to make more informed decisions about how we move forward with our land, it’s always a good idea to ask others and learn together.

With the open fire I am not sure whether it is allowed or not because of the high risk in Portugal for forest fire. If it's not allowed maybe there is a risk getting a fine if the police notices. It's good to check that before you get in trouble 💖.
I'm sure I'm missing it, but I am unable to find your email address.
Hi guys, I'm portuguese born & bread and I know the area around TOMAR quite well.
Please note that it is against the law to do bonfires during the hot & dry season. Please check with your local Camara Municipal (Town Hall) what period of year can you do bonfires. It's usually only allowed during the winter months, and only if it's wet.
NO FIRE OUTSIDE during dry season! At all!
Fires are very dangerous, we've had hundreds of them in Portugal with homes lost and scores dead, unfortunately.
You may have already broken the law… If caught, it would be a very expensive mistake. HUGE fine…
On another note… your home looks very cosy already.
Congrats!
Yes I know! It’s the older ones I was referring to watching, can’t always find the new ones!
When I can’t find a new video, I watch your older ones, enjoy the two of you very much.
Hello from sunny Daytona Beach Florida, USA…you are awesome, kind folks! Thanks for sharing your videos & have a great day! ☮☮💕💕
Not very sharp footage… cute pussy cats!
Teach a lady how to use power tools makes buying birthday and Christmas presents so much easier.
Roasted spuds for lunch or dinner ?????
Oh Nick where was your "bucket hat" you looked naked without it. LOL Your property is looking good. Good tidy up around the place. Loved the cats you have coming to visit. They won't be too happy when you go back to the UK. Thanks for a tour of the house. It is looking really cosy.
. Sarah the bedcover on your bed is beautiful. I am guessing you crocheted it, great piece of work!
You have the land looking great. It was sad to see the chair burning but I know you two would have saved the chair if it had been viable. Those cats gave me a big laugh. I was expecting one or two but 4! Those poor cats must be wondering where the nice people who brought them food went. Thank you for sharing the water fall. You really do have a magical place there in Portugal.
Good job folks. Keep it up.
I don't wanna be a weather forecaster
I don't wanna rabbit on all day about sunny periods
And patches of rain splitting from the west
I wanted to be
A lumberjack!
Leaping from tree to tree
As they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia
The giant redwood
The larch
The fir
The mighty Scots pine
The lofty flowering cherry
The plucky little aspen
The limping Roo tree of Nigeria
The towering Wattle of Aldershot
The Maidenhead Weeping Water Plant
The naughty Leicestershire Flashing Oak
The flatulent Elm of West Ruislip
The Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni
The Epigillus
The Barter Hughius Greenus

The trees looked so much better when you trimmed the lower branches off and of course helps with fire prevention. I wonder how many cats you will end up adopting. Great tidy up guys. 👍🏽😎
Couldn’t help but the fine print on citrus says stolen from 3 addresses lol you remind me of Maria brooks a hotelier in wagga that sold up and moved back to portugal and bought the village of her youth she from a poor background very stylish would ask in a most beautiful voice Treevy can I have youra walnutess to picckle 😲then proceeded to climb a 40 foot tree with a rake bashing them out of the tree , caught eels with bare hands from rock pools ,sea urchins for their insides with wasabi , she would scream Stop John As she spotted a quince tree out front of a deserted farm in aust , scale barbed wire pick a boot full and make jam , leather & jelly wasted nothing , so you at end of day can become citrus grader negotiante de frutas nice to see you back at the hacienda 👍❤️❤️❤️🙏
Love watching your vids from Australia
Wow the waterfall is fantastic

cut shit down dont even clean it up too LAZY
Great video
Loved the Misty clouds there were like a big snuggly blanket being lifted
Your land is looking goooooood
Thank you for sharing 😁
A mini chainsaw meant for pruning is even better. They are only about $45-60 USD.
Thank you for the videos you both are motorvating us to make the move to Portugal 👍
Great job guys!!! Just keep pecking away it gets better and better all the time.
LOVE that waterfall! You are doing a fantastic job. Backbreaking but look at your accomplishments! See you on the next one!
You two re wonderful I adore the way you care for all the animals xx
Jeez Nick!!! You've got to buy a chainsaw dude🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
consider keeping the ash and charcoal for veg plot when you burn the wood.
I think your noisy yellow birds are Serins. They make good site managers!
What a beautiful way to start the day, the views are amazing! Take care, Laura x
Lovely seeing the progress with your land. Hope you make it back soon.

Your property is looking great, all of your hard work is paying off. Thanks for showing the house again, I was wondering if you had time to work there some, I totally understand that clearing the brambles is a full time job but as I said before, it looks awesome. Sarah you did a great job pruning those trees, we farm girls have to stick together lol. Wishing you & Nick the best and hopefully soon you can be in Portugal full time. The waterfall was amazing so beautiful. Have a blessed week, & looking forward to more videos.
Hi guys nice you are in cloud nine every morning bet it’s nice and fresh when you wake up and go outside,such busy bees but there’s always jobs to do on the land.another great video can see you have plenty of mouse catchers.
I liked this weeks music and the crocheted bed cover is fab🌈 isn’t it odd how you give a man a saw and he looks as tho he’s about to chop his leg off🫣
If you had a woodstove,,youd be able to cook your dinner,heat your home for free,and the money you saved could feed all those pussycats,instead of wasting all that precious wood.
Oh, Sarah & Nick, what a beautiful morning you had, thanks so much for sharing it. Where we live it's often foggy in the mornings too, low-lying like yours and spilling across The City on its way inland, or high up keeping the sky gray. Then blue skies, too, but only between 11a & 3p before the Pacific air conditioning returns.
Your plantings along the wall look so nice, and your woodland looks quite neat with its legs shaved. Very happy you're enjoying your day off working your land — it seems hugely satisfying to get it fire safe and tidy. AcCkk 🙈@🦎💞🦎!
Eu adora seu restaurante do 😺gatos😸❣ (I don't speak portuguese, Google helped me 😉.) Home is looking cozy and happily inhabited. Your waterfall is amazing! With the area you, Guy, and Zinda cleared, the stream is running strong and clear… fingerling trout could be quite happy there. Come home again soon 🤗.
Good to see the misses has been on the rob again, the fruit snatcher, shell be selling them on the black market no doubt
With a wonderful spring like you have, have you considered a hydro electric generator?
Love your waterfall….
.
Your property is looking fabulous ..the flowers on the wall will add colour as well as be great pollinators..It is coming together..👍🌿🌻🦋😁
