I LOVE these daily vlogs as well. They are great!! Thank you both so much for doing these for us. I will miss the daily routine of them. Have a happy Christmas and a blessed New Year!!!❤
Happy Christmas Elaine and Darren have a good one look forward to seeing your videos projects have fun from Tyrone ,:)
Thanks for the vlog I enjoyed watching
Thank you for your Vlogmas videos, I have really enjoyed keeping up with all you have been up to – you now feel almost like family. I hope you both have a lovely Christmas and look forward to following your future progress over next year.
So beautiful that fox! Thank you for your videos and the way you enjoy the so important little joys of life, that you share with us: a cup of coffee, the wonderful neighbours that give you a pumpkin, connection tubes, and that even give food to the fox to preserve the chickens of another neighbour. The sense of community built with different nationalities is good to see. Have a happy Xmas 🎅🤶
Have loved your vids, latecomer so lots to catch up on. Hoping you will keep posting! Weather here in N Cyprus same as yours so feel for you. Happy Solstice !!!
sadly I haven't had time to watch all of them, but I am sure I will get through all of them eventually 😀 and I thoroughly enjoy them 😀
Enjoyed watching and listening to you both hope you have a lovely Christmas and a good New Year
Hi Darren, Elaine, Max,
Thank you for talk and tea, I got so used to your English(because of the pips cast) that I don't need the subtitles anymore to understand everything you say 🙏 we are 'family' now 😉 see you in the next one 🙏❤️🇩🇰
Merry merry x'maz 🎄🎉🧨✨️ Mam Elaine & Sir Darren & to Max….fr.Philippines 🇵🇭
Hey Darren,I’m sure Ridley Scott had days like you’re describing with the editing so who knows where this could go.
We should be thanking you for coming into our lives. One of the highlights of the week is for Linda and I to sit down to see what you have been up to. It's like catching up with friends. We both enjoyed seeing "Basil Brush" at the end. Best wishes from both of us in New Zealand. 🥰
I have really enjoyed your daily videos since they are very interesting. It's like vicariously getting to live in a different country, seeing the villages, cities, the area. Your name the animals challenge had me googling birds & newts of Portugal trying to figure out what they were, like it was a quiz show. Then your Pipscasts are interesting like a talk show program. Your stories are great because you are so descriptive & animated & warm. I appreciate all the time you spend on the videos. Although I will miss them, it is good the dailies are almost over since I've seen other Youtubers get burned out from doing them a long time. I look forward to seeing your home & land change as the season does. Merry Christmas!
Loved seeing your daily vlogs. Merry Christmas!
Thank you for doing all the editing Darren and watching your journey in Portugal is an very interesting channel…have a good night.
You are welcome in my home anytime! I’m glad everyone is kind and has nice comments. Stay warm and safe. Thank you again…you are a bright spot in my day. Beautiful fox.”!
You sure have a funny dog who seems to want to be part of the Video a lot. Merry Christmas to you and a Very Happy New Year 2023. God bless both of you.
Looking forward to perhaps house renos. Merry Christmas from Canada. All the best in the new year.
I agree! You both are both so friendly and open minded you are great people to get to know. I feel very grateful and blessed that you have allowed me into your world and to share your life experiences in a new country! Thank you, so much! This is a lot of fun and I am learning much! You have given me a great gift and helped me get through each day of this holiday season! Hugs from Costa Rica
Always a delight to watch. Thank you, for sharing your experiences and thank you, to your generous subscriber, for helping with funds, for the pump. Generous people warm my heart! Blessing to you and to them.
Yep , that’s definitely a fox , a nice healthy one too . Thank you fir your hard work , I have really enjoyed all your videos . ❤️
Enjoyed our chat today! Ha ha! I am wondering how hard or easy it is to communicated in the stores such as the store you were looking for the IBC tanks. See you tomorrow.
I think your fox citing must get the community something to talk about, especially when you get pictures.
Muy bien
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you guys.
Hi Elaine and Darren,
I'm sure that you already know about the dangers of processionary caterpillars in Central Portugal. They are extremely dangerous, especially to animals. They normally start coming down to the ground from the fir trees in February to April – but I noticed on another Youtubers video that they had noticed some descending from one of their firs on their land last week – so best keep your eyes open just in case they start descending early in your part of Central Portugal.
Best wishes to you both and a very Happy Xmas and New Year.
Love your daily vlogs guys, part of my evening. Please keep them going 👍👏👍 Happy holidays Darren and Elaine 🎄🧑🎄🌲🎊
Happy Christmas, Happy holidays !
I've loved your chats and your videos
Many thanks for all your vlogmas videos, I've really enjoyed watching them 👍. I've been out this evening, so watching this one whilst having my mug of cocoa before going up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire …….though I'm in Lancashire and I live in a bungalow, so don't have any stairs to climb these days 🤣🤣. Enjoy your pot luck dinner 🙂
Nice picture of the fox! Looking forward to seeing the “silver” fox at some point in time! Enjoy the potluck tonight! Thanks for taking the time to track the guess on the cormorant and the newt! Perhaps there will be more sightings in the future of different things! Definitely enjoyed this run up to Christmas, and looking forward to next years vlogmas! In the meantime we will be more than happy with your regular schedule of Pip Casts. Take care!
Thank you for vlogmas, i've really enjoyed the videos and, and it's great to see the progress you've made in such a short time especially with all the freak spells of rain you've had n Portugal. Have a nice break, Happy Christmas and a Happy and productive New year 👋🎅🎄🎉💖
Don’t worry about doing more sponsors, if it’s something that would be of used to you go for it! It’s your channel, ignore the naysayers. Merry Christmas 🎄
The pleasure is ours. Thank you for all the hard work in editing Darren. It has become a habit for us. Harriet and I will miss the daily chat. Hope you guys can find some relaxing time over the
Holidays. Be well my friends. Sending Best Wishes and Happy Holidays ! 🌲🌲🌲 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
You know you have us spoiled rotten with these daily videos! It's be fun to see your daily journey. God bless you both.

Just think when you do a Vlogmas in 2023 and then you look back on this year's, oh my days what a difference you will see in your land and wee house. Definitely going to miss the daily news from you but really looking forward to what you achieve next year. Keep smiling both of you, I'm definitely subscribed and I've dinged that bell and give you a thumbs up every day. Enjoy your meal with your neighbours, see you tomorrow xxxxxxx

Great to see the animals identified, we have followed you guys from day one and it is lovely to see you now so happy here in Portugal just like us. Hope you have a really lovely Christmas and if you venture down our way near Màçao you must pop in to see us.
I am vicariously enjoying all of your adventures . Thanks for sharing you’ve really improved everything greatly .
It was a real pleasure to follow every single day of your wlogmas, sort of an Advent Calendar… Thanks for all the work you did, Darren.
See you tomorrow💞
We know that these vlogs were a lot of work, but we so much enjoyed them!!! Thanks for all the hard work. As for Max, once again today he was really cute. It was like he was saying " you got to see mom and dad through out the month, but don't forget I was there too". Have fun at the pot luck dinner! See you tomorrow.
Quite right you cheer us up. You are both great and I appreciate your hard work. Thank You. Gosh next year… Be great to see the changes to the land and the house. Good luck with all you do especially the water situation…. 😊😊
Pleas have more every day vlogs!
