This week we get to work more on our dream of making our own wine, pressing the grapes and having a lot more than we had planned for. As the weather is cooling we can get back to our projects making this abandoned old barn into a beautiful homestead, Carissa builds a new greenhouse and Iwan gets to work on the driveway.

Carissa, Iwan & Frankie decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month they were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call their new home. We picked up Albi the cat along the way. Subscribe to follow our journey as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.

The best music..samba!
Good luck with your wine and seedlings! Take super care! Laura 🐶🐶🍻
Gwyh iawn ,excellent video . diolch yn fawr xx
Nice content guys. Wouldn't it help to start the wine clarification by using a screen in the press? Simple fix, if you heat up the bottom of the funnel and press into the demi-johns a few inches I know from experience you'll avoid those frustrating 'boil overs' and loosing some of that hard won fermented wine product. Alternatively a simple wooden holder to support the funnel. Great to know you've had some rain recently, must be a relief.
i hope it is still standing what veg seeds will you grow?
Hi Iwan and Carissa . Well..what a positively productive week you had..loved it all💚☔🐕🐕🐈🍇🍇🚲🚲🌦🏴🌹👑🖤
What about this vintage being called Castello del Diogo? 🤣 the Aqua-dente can be Frankie-no-sense

I just can't get over your "views" to "subscribers" ratio. They are so close !!
My other channels have LOTS more views than subscribers … Great job kids 😊 I can call you kids because I'm 70 LOL 🤣😀
As always enjoyed video. Really enjoyed watching you press the grapes❤️
How wonderful, perfect gift 🎁

May as well start trying your hand at dying t-shirts!! LOL!!
You have 3 cars now?
Another amazing video this week, but can i say the music was sooo loud i was having to adjust volume every time between speech and non speech times quite significantly 😖 – enough to go back a few times because i missed what was said. Stay safe through theweather change.
Hi Frankie from the south of Portugal you better batten down the hatches for this week 🌞
Just an observation, your seats on the bike need to be higher as the elongated leg only needs a slight bend, position almost straight ,)
Helo o Awstralia 🙂 I don't know if you've already done this or not but, put some stones ( decent size stones) to pin down that greenhouse. You will need to anchor it down. I don't know how far the tree is but maybe tie a strap over the greenhouse, they are wonderful (yes had one) but they are quite flimsy in a strong wind. Caru'r sianel
Hi guys another fantastic vlog. Noticed when you were out on your bikes your seats could be a little higher, this would make cycling much easier and more comfortable. Please give it a try.👍
I love how the cats kinda hangout 😀
