This week I relieved the pear trees of some of those pears and found someone that would enjoy them so gifted them all to a friend.
Visit Cindy’s Channel here:
Had a great time with Cindy, the dogs and her piggies who also happened to have piglets (get ready to fall in love!) and got a really awesome tour of her beautiful farm, Quinta do Bela Pedra (the beautiful stone!). I understand why it’s called Bela Pedra! It has the most stunning views and most epic granite boulders! 🙂
A long lost furry-friend returns to the farm and starts making himself a little more at home. It’s going to be baby steps getting the dogs used to not chasing the cat, but I really need a farm cat to chase those rats & mice away!
Enjoying the journey? Consider buying me a cup of coffee or a roof tile to help save up for the new roof 🙂
About Girl Meets Farm:
I’m Christine. I started this journey in search of my forever farm in Portugal, and now I have found it!
This is my adventure as a solo expat on a farm in Central Portugal with my two fur-kids, Shakti & Shiva.
I’ve never owned or lived on a farm, but moved to Portugal in the hope of fulfilling a life-long dream of finding open space, subsistence farming and a safer, better life.
Now that we have found our farm, the second stage of our journey begins!
I have to figure out farm life while renovating an agricultural structure to make it habitable and turn it into a comfortable home for me and my furkids.
Thank you for joining our journey!

I would love a description and full demo of your telescopic fruit-picker. It looks really useful@
Tobias looks like a proper cutie pie 🥰 how are the dogs with him? Take care, Laura 🍐🍐🍐
prosciutti, yummy!
Tobias is beautiful. You have a new addition to the family. Congratulations. Lovely to see Cindy and piggies.
💕That’s a fantastic way to get rid of excess produce & it helps someone else with there piggies as well💕Maybe in the future you could get your own piggies who could eat the fallen fruits putting them in electric fencing would allow you to move them around💕
Don't forget to keep water for cat and exchange daily. Now he is yours , he will give you all of the love for food and drink. 🐞
So lovely to see Tobias starting to make friends with you!
Now Shakti and Shiva will have to get used to having another 'furry friend' around.
Hopefully To bias will earn his food by keeping rats and mice at bay!
Those piggies of Cindy are huge and absolutely adorable. So cute that they are all named too.Glad you found a good outlet for your pears.
Her 2 dogs are as sweet and just too cute. Happy pups.
The telescopic fruit picker seems to have made life easier for you, especially in the difficult to reach places.
Happy you are making friends who are also able to share their experiences with you.
Great going, Christine.
You could pickle the pears nice for Xmas good luck love the animals
you should get 3 piglets black white an brown lol
oh you no cindy vine she great

thats kind of u to give the cat love
What a great day in the ‘office’ 🙂
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you
Maybe Tobias can help you with the rodent problem? I sure hope so! Nice idea to not let your pears go to waste! I am sure they are much appreciated! Fresh pears are also my favorite fruit!
Awwww Kitty has a new person 😉 Thank you.
Good to c s Africans sharing
I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IF THE LITTLE PIGS WERE PLAYING THE PIANO OR DRINKING MOTHER'S MILK! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS😆
Hello Christine! 😀😀
💐🍀🌟👍👏
Hi Christine, you have a new 4 legged friend Tobias will keep the pests away. Glad you found Cindy, you'll have a great knowledgeable friend.
It's nice to meet likeminded people. Stay safe and happy fruit picking.
Nice Job Christine love watching your Videos.
You have a nice harvest of pears for Cindy. Your kitty will be well taken care of and loved.
Your such a lovely bubbly person☺️. Love the way you introduce the slow way in which your new life is starting. No stress at all☺️
good that you help Cindy
Christine thanks for sharing your experience with us. Do you really need to play the music in the video? For me would be so much nicer to just hear the natural sounds of nature and things like cat purring, and pigs snorting. Looking forward to your next video. Best wishes.
I’m really enjoying watching you renovate your place, learning to care for the land and the plants, and making friends in the area.
Hi Christine, how are you feeling several weeks in to owning your farm, has it exceeded all expectations?
Lovely to see you again Christine… and to see the animals at Cindy Vine as well. I'm so excited to go to your area in October, November…. looks so tranquile and beautiful there.
Cindy wrote to me that it's still quite 🔥 hot there.
How does you and the doggies cope with that?
Are you going offgrid? I'm an electrician for many years and have solar panels at my home. Regards Rickard from Sweden 🇸🇪
Great video! Good that the cat has come around to trusting you!
Cheers from London 👍😎🏴
Do you have fleas and ticks there? I have outdoor cats that showed up as kittens. I have to put a liquid on their backs to keep fleas and ticks off them in case they want to come into house or porch. I live in Virginia in the USA. If fleas infest the house it is a nightmare to get rid of them.
You are brave I hope in future you will have some help.
Thanks so much for the visit and the pears! You are welcome anytime!
To many cats and dogs.
Glad to see the kitty is friendly. Ofc we know Cindy and her pigs 😅, Nick and Andrea ( Project Portugal) have 3 of them too, so cute!
Great you have some new friends around you. Cheers!
Catty & your dogs need tick/antiparacite collars (i.e. Scalibor)…I dont know if you've got them already. Give away all the fruit etc. you dont need for yourself. Neighbors, Cindy or compost it etc. Just dont let it go to waste. Also never waste water please. Tipping out the water that was in the wheelbarrow on the dirt would have made some plants happy in this drought. Please, this is not critique in any way, just my thoughts. Fond greetings from a fellow Capetonian living in Spain🌺
Welcome to the family Tobias
so so cute to see Tobias come for pets and food..the poor thing! do you sometimes give him wet food (in case he doesn't get enough fluids? My cats are terrible for not drinking water)
Hi Christine great to see you have a new friend, handy with those pesky mice knocking about. What are you going to do with all those pears, apart from giving them to the piggies. Tony UK x
Albert Eisbein, Cocoa Pops and Cindys other pigs will enjoy the pears.
