Hello, Cindy. I do not know what happened to my comment on your last video because I cannot find it in the list of comments. I probably forgot to click the sending button. I said that your children were very lucky to have such a dear mother who thinks of leaving them a legacy and I asked if you thought they were aware of all your effort in doing this (well,I think I know the answer which is Yes, no doubt).
In today's video I had a glimpse inside your cottage. It showed most of your belongings. But the one, the unique one, I could not see.The one I am referring to is something one cannot see. One can only feel and that is the Love that inhabits inside those walls. That cottage is bigger than a proper castle because it is your castle. I have already said this but I repeat it now. I admire you a lot.I follow a lot of YouTubers and sometimes I tell my husband about them (he is not a mobile phone man, he is more a computer man, that is why he lets me use his phone. My mobile phone is not a smart phone)but,as I was saying, sometimes I tell him about curious episodes that I see on the different YouTuber channels that I follow. But when I am referring to you I always say:My friend Cindy. I see you as a friend.
And to end this long comment of mine(sorry if I am boring you) I love the pictures of your sweet grandson. He is so cute.
Ele é tão querido! Love Filipa.
Hello Cindy I just started watching, working hard to catch up on your videos. I think you are amazing. You are living my dream. I love the pigs!! Your home is awesome and cozy! Well done you !! Blessing to you , Susan.
PS did you learn any Kiswahili when in Tanzania? I too lived there. It was the time of my life.
I bet you have built up so much strength since you’ve been on the farm. That Oreo keeps you on your toes!
😁
Nice tour Cindy. A nice work in progress
Your new back door will need prming and paintin g before te rain and mist hits it or it will swellup and you will not be able to use it at all.
I'm sure i recognised Ina Paarman and Robertsons herbs and spices on the shelf. Did you stock up on your last visit, or do you get it posted over to Portugal?

I don't blame you for "not a bra". I rarely wear one since I retired. Never liked them.
Thanks for your vid Cindy 😇💟💟💟 Love you, I liked your wood shopping song made me smile maybe a bold cat would be handy for your mouse problem. thanks for the house tour 🐾🏩🎤
Loved the Blackadder reference. Keep up the good work.
Love that you will use the table to extend the counter. Its a beautiful piece. The space rack turned out so pretty, Love the blue! You've made a lot of progress this year. And your helpers have been so wonderful. Continued success to you Cindy .
👍❤
Tfs, Cindy! Take care, Laura 🐶🐶🐖
Thank you for the cottage tour! I am glad to hear your not going to try to put in a door. I feel the same of worrying about compromising the cottage structure. Maybe you can try some shelving on the wall you have your totes at.
😂👍
Love all your neat little micro zones in your cottage ~ quite complete!
Some day after your most urgent priorities, Ikea in Lisbon could offer 1 or 2 helpful storage ideas that shouldn't take away from your open floor space: like maybe not-deep storage cabinets that could be wall mounted–these open up partially to place & hide pairs of shoes in but you can tuck anything else in there that you want put away; they probably have short bench with similar drawers that you sit on while taking off your shoes… a duo of such pieces could work between your door and the storage chest at the end of your bed? Or or 2 shallow storage cabinets could be mounted on your back walls? I think they also have platforms for your mattress that lifts up completely to store things in the entire space under the mattress supports.
Can't you keep the mice out by keeping that door closed in the lounge area? 🥵
