Its been a busy week as we try to get back into the swing of things after quarantining for two weeks for Covid. We have a big backlog of commissioned property videos to catch up on and this week its been full steam ahead but I have managed to film a short FARM LIFE vlog for you still 🙂
We catch up with one of our neighbours, Costa who has been very ill for the last week (Not Covid related) and we pop into Joaquim’s farm and check out his awesome vintage Ford tractors. He is also doing some building work on farm and is adding a walkway and awning to the outside of his sheep milking area.
We hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for watching. See you all again next week ❤
We are Ken & Gina and we left the UK in 2019 in search of a simpler life away from our office jobs and the hustle and bustle of the big city. We sold our house, left the UK and left the Rat race behind us to move to Portugal and buy a farm. We found an amazing farm in Castelo Branco Central Portugal where we have lived for the last two and a half years.

Lots of prayers for Costa, may he recovers soon.
Beautiful landscape, ken, what is the name of ur village???
Great video as always, wish Costa well.
Joaquim is the typical self sufficient man
I'm glad your personal experience with COVID wasn't serious. Mine (vaccinated) wasn't, either, but my sister-in-law (unvaccinated) died from it. Please don't minimize the danger of this disease. The effects have greatly impacted not only her immediate family, but our family as well as we try to comfort and support them.
I think most of us have let our guard down too early since variants continue to develop.
Costa is a rather fashionable fellow, wearing his hat at a jaunty angle. Hope he feels better soon.
The importance of neighbours and community 💖
“It’s not as bad as people make out” Do you remember before the vaccines when the hospitals and morgues has no room? Millions died.
Such a lovely bike ride visiting your wonderful neighbours. My best wishes to Costa 🤎I really enjoyed this episode, thank you.
Love the closeup shots of the flowers with music at the end of the video. The whole video is wonderful of course. Your life looks so calm in Portugal. You guys must be so happy that you made the decision to move there.
Prayers for Costa to make a speedy and complete recovery.
Beautiful 💚 weather 🤩
All the best for Costa 🙏
Glad to hear you’re feeling better Ken, and again you’re out & about 👍🏻 How is Gena doing? Hope she’s also well 🙏🏻 missing your wonderful videos 💕
Are you thinking of buying any new equipments, like a mini tractor and so on? If you do can you plz let us get an idea of how much they cost in Portugal?
Take care and keep healthy 🌸
So glad you had an easy Covid experience. Many have not been as lucky. Prayers for your friend. I envy you those pretty flowers.
Beautiful weather and ride through town. We have delayed an extended vacation in Portugal, first a broken leg and then COVID. Since we are seniors, are vaccines and treatments and testing widely available in Portugal?. We love your videos. Ciao to you and Gina.
Yes I hope that Costa is ok.
Hi, Ken 👋🏼😊 I very much enjoyed tagging along with you on your bike ride into town. Tho i think your fatigue is from the omicron covid as it seems to take a longer while for folks to clear up completely. My super healthy, vaccinated young cousin had bad symptoms for 2 weeks and still has some recurrent symptoms 2 months layer that just come on randomly. My friend's boosted brother took 11 days to get thru his bout. Another lively friend had the worst symptoms for a day and half but still suffers fatigue and coughs since exposure nearly 2 weeks ago. Covid just runs survivors ragged.
And Omicron can still be fatal for folks with underlying conditions, so i have to super careful (and isilated 🥺). I care for my elderly mom, if i get covid… there's no one to take care of me or her. So i'm glad you're much better and i appreciate your visit with neighbors, your joy from all the creatures and pretty blossoms you encounter. I pray Mr. Costas heals well and feels better. Bless you for looking in on him 🤗. Maybe if you ever cook up a bunch of pizzas or a huge cauldron of stew, bring a pie or hot soup over to him and also to Joachim… the nights are still cold.
Keep feeling better, guys. Thanks for the beautiful vlog. 💖
Prayers for Costa! Lovely bike ride with you today! Thank you Ken, hope your recovery continues. Love to Gina!❤❤
🙏 🙏 for u sick man
Fatigue is a part of covid now. Glad ur over it 👍
Ken. Great photography love your fields of flowers 💐
Wonderful video Ken, I absolutely loved the tour! 🥰
I pray 8n Jesus name that Costa will be good soon. Nice Video Ken is sooo beautiful and peaceful around there . Thanks for sharing.
Sem falar a lingua no pais que vivemos nao é facil .
We will pray for your friends! He’s so cute .. also need you help on kitchen appliances!! Be nice to make a video on that for people who are planning on moving there what’s best to take! I have many appliances and need that help😍plzzzz
Thank you Theo and Bee for answering our questions, enjoy Iceland!💕
I hope Costa and you feel better. ❤Sending good energy to Costa. Love your Portugal videos. I am planning to retire soon. What do you think about retirement in Tomar?✨🌅
It's nice to see you getting around and enjoying the great weather. Joaquim is a very skilled farmer, I really like him. Please tell him that I admire him a lot.
Wonderful shots of the plant life
Putting you all on my pray list be well 😁
Next time put the Gopro 10 in your bike helmet and film more the houses and roads .
Prayers coming for Costa..pray he makes a speedy recovery…..
Jaoquim is a multitalented farmer who loves ford!
Prayers for Costa!
I feel for Costa, I would make a return visit with a nice gift to make him feel good, man you’re clips are faultless, the dialogue, angle, etc, solid neighbours with unlimited knowledge of soil and farming don’t forget to spend quality time with them. The trouble is now some other clips are hard to watch via YouTube as they haven’t mastered the art of filming as you have, so grab a cold one have a Braai sit back and smile
he he he
geez Ken what a nice little town, and so clean too
Your vaccinated aren't you …. makes covid less severe….
You're one of the lucky ones, covid is affecting some people very badly & some are still losing their lives. My sister in law's quality of life is very poor because of covid & will not improve sadly.
Keep enjoying your lovely life, it helps the rest of us escape from our maybe not so lovely lives!!
I believe you had Omicron variant which the weaker one.
Delta was deadly.
Spring came early 😁😁
Costa seems so kind. My thought are with him from Alaska.
