You've really been in my thoughts this week… Poor thing, no visa yet 🙁 Sending you lots of positive vibes, energy, and a big fat hug cause I reckon you need one <3 xx
Hi Cindy, I've been watching your channel for some time. Sorry about your predicament. Thought I would warn you to keep your identity card on you. Not in your handbag. Mine has been stolen twice as well as my phone. Lots of hassle and time wasted when your identity card or documents get stolen.

Hope you are able to get the visa sorted very soon. My fingers and toes are crossed for you. Your piglets are growing up so fast. Take care stay safe and can’t wait to see you back at the farm very soon. 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
You are a wonderful person, make sure you are talking with the right people, you should, you need to get back to where you belong, and that is to your property in Portugal, never lose hope, be positive, have faith the lord is good all the time, God Bless 🙏💞🙏
I can not imagine watching things evolving and not being present, and desperately longing with every fibre of my being to be just back home with my dog and piggy plus your grandpiggies. I sincerely hope you are somewhere right now flying over the land and ocean and winging your way home to your avocado and olive tress your bees your pigs and piglets and especially your gorgeous dog. I had my veggie garden decimated this summer(Tasmania) my fault I left the gate open and the wallabies had the best night out on fresh tomatoes eggplants zucchins peppers greens oh the list was tragic. It is harder I can imagine when your wonderful friends did not mean to neglect these future hopes. I am thinking of you and knowing how much your heart is yearning for home!!
So happy to see that you have such an amazing support from your friends 👍💯 hope you get that visa soon 🤗
Just a suggestion. Tik Tok is fine for vertical videos. YouTube, not so much, a bit (VERY) annoying
How much time will your visa allow you to be on your farm ? Will you have to leave Portugal when it expires?
Hazel, maybe you can give the grass around the saplings in the orchard a wee cut with hand shears so you can love on the trees easier? 🤷🏻♀️
Adding my thanks to yours to

Wow, Stephen is really doing great on that wall!
I don’t think Cindy’s heart is really in Portugal. She goes to Cape Town to see her mom which is great. Wish her the best regardless.
Your little stone home is looking precious and I'm glad your channel is hanging in there. All will be well soon 💕
Need a riding tractor along with your weed trimmer to do your property
So awesome that Hazel brought reinforcements Stephen & John to volunteer with her❣
With Julian and St. Nick carrying on — what a team they all are❣
Again, you keep putting out great videos, despite being in a different country!! Hope you sort stuff soon Cindy, missing you
We are with you! Thank God for all the lovely friends you have! Hang in there, Cindy!
You are truly blessed with friends like these. Praying for you to get back to your home soon!!!
Keep ur pecker up girl
Vasbyt Cindy, those little piglets remind me of a box of noisey dominoes 🤣🤣🤣🐖🐖🐖🐽
It is so heart warming to see friends rallying together while you are away Cindy. Great community to be apart of, keep strong❤️
