Life on a Mountain in a Forest in Rural Central Portugal - GPS Tracker Review and Dog Walk
This week we invest in a dog tracker for Tom so we can let him off the lead on our dog walks. I spend the first bit of money I make from vlogging on an image stabilizer. Let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks so much for sticking with us 🙏🏼 Lots of love 💕 from me, Dave, Brân, Gruff and Tom 🙌🏼🇵🇹❤️🐾🐶🐕Xxx

In this week's vlog Dave installs a new oven and hood as well as installing our dishwasher. We were kindly gifted the oven and hood from our friends Terry and Clark. They are much better then when we had previously. I also much prefer cooking on gas instead of electric. It's made such a difference to the quality of our lives here and not having to wash the dishes is making a massive difference!...

beau travail 👍👍
Absolutley beautiful walk with you both and the dogs. Thank you so much for the walk. Take care. 🐾🐾🐾🐾 See you all next week. Hugs❤
What a lovely walk for the dogs, Tom did marvellous bless him 🐾🐾🐾 x
Congratulations on monetizing on TH-cam! And what a good use of the money. The quality of the image has definitely improved.
What a brilliant episode guys, that walk was just wonderful. You could just sense how sharp and fresh the air was. Brilliant bit of kit for the stabilising as well, did the job just great. Peace of mind for you with the boys can only be a good thing, i reckon that tracker is worth it for that alone. Onwards and upwards guys. All the best. 😉👍🏼
Great Video, your doggies are so cute. Beautiful walks you have there . ❤ xx
Tom's tracker should bring much peace of mind if ever he gets away. Nice stabilizer filming kit 😊👍🏼. Also nice to hang out with both of you!
Thanks soo much Ruth 🙏🏼 it's fantastic the tech you can buy these days relatively cheaply! I'm amazed. I like it when Dave and I can do a video together 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I'd love for the vlog to take off and we could just work on the house and film it and that's what we did 'for a living' here 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 Maybe, one day if we're very very lucky 🍀Xxx
@@portugalmuse8430 May you be blessed with what you pray for 💖🌟🤗
Doing great
Thank you 🙏🏼 What's your name Portugal 1969 ☺️?! If you don't mind me asking Xx
@portugalmuse8430 it's James leaper, I keep visiting the area with the intention of retiring early.
A lovely update. Certainly there's been plenty going on to keep you busy. Well done in securing the new job, and like you said time is an issue now. Your vlogs are so varied and interesting though Awen it is always a pleasure and a delight to view when one pops up, so no pressure. I have to say this, your accent always transports me back home in an instant 👍🏼. I've been looking at properties online, the odd one looking promising but not quite right. I will get to Portugal, i will, i will 😆 I just found my original comment this morning and it hadn't been sent for some reason.
@@owenp65 I'm soo happy you like the vlogs 🙌🏼❤️🙏🏼 We're still figuring it all out but I'm feeling a lot more confident now since I bought my new gadget (image stabilizer) it will make it soo much easier to film 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 If you need any help with house hunting here just ask. I'm always looking at property for sale here just for fun and to buy nosy ☺️ Hope you have a good week Xxx
@portugalmuse8430 it's nice to see people improving with their filming skills as time goes by, that's brilliant. Thank you for that offer of help. I'm getting a bit lost in it all to be honest with you. I'll be sure to give you a shout for advice, thank you. 👍🏼 ... and a great week to you guys as well.
HELLO. YOU CAN ALSO CONTACT A VETERENARIAN, AND HE WILL PLACE 1 CHIP THAT IF THE DOG GETS LOST AND IS FOUND, THE AUTHORITIES WILL CONTACT THE OWNER! THE VETERENARIAN CAN ALSO ISSUE YOU A PASSPORT, WHICH MAKES GOING ABROAD EASIER! HUGS
Obrigada Antonio 🙏🏼 All the dogs are chipped and registered here and both Brân and Gruff have European passports, we just need to get Tom a passport but we're not planning on going anywhere anytime soon. We live in paradise👌🏼🇵🇹❤️🙌🏼 Thanks for watching and commenting. Always grateful for your support Xxx
It's so magical everything! I would've loved to be there and give you a hand ! Miss you all , Dave and the dogs and the views and the places 😢🎉❤ but I am looking forward to visit you again !
Hellooooo 👋🏼❤️❤️❤️!!! I've only just seen this! We miss you soo soo much! You were like an angel when you visited us and I really felt it when you left and can't wait until you're here again for dog walks, BBQ's and lots of lovely family time, because you are family and we love you very much Xxx (p.s. Tom misses you and still looks for you in the guest bedroom 🥺😍🐕❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼) Xxx
Picked magic mushrooms on todmorden in September 30 years ago, it was fun, prefer good food nowadays
😅 Lol! We get those mushrooms here as well ☺️🌈🦄🍄! Glad you had a nice time 😀! We are more inclined to be in bed at 9pm with a good book these days as well 👌🏼 Xx
Glad to see you back! Beautiful autumn colours, and beautiful doggies 😍 xx
Thanks Helen ☺️ Obrigada amiga 🙏🏼 Xxx
Hi, Awen 👋😊 Thanks for taking us along on a forage. I look forward to tasting some parasol some day. The ladies on the channel Life Ater Suki seem long time foragers and found a host of different, delicious looking myshrroms on their autumn forage. And Nick & Andrea on Project Portugal find puffball mushrooms on their land. All those different mushroom look so tasty. That was a really nice outing with Bryn, Gryff, and Tom (sorry if i spelled their names wrong). Congrats on your new position! I'm sure yoir new students will appreciate your guidance. Like that you and Dave continue to experiment with different approaches to your vlogging and the broad variety of content.
Thank you Ruth 🙏🏼 I'll have to check out those channels. My favourite for mushroom foraging is a channel called Just Alex. He's very knowledgeable, based in the UK but he travels all over the world. I'm enjoying my new job and finding it very rewarding. I've just bought some new equipment for doing the vlogs that should help with the quality and allow for us to be more creative. The problem I have now is time! I don't have a huge amount of time anymore but will do a video when I can Xxx
@@portugalmuse8430 Excellent! Yes, no stress with YouTubing, it should be a CV pleasurable hobby 😊👍🏼.
happy dogs in these surroundings! stay dry, stay strong. 🤠😎
Thank you 🙏🏼 We just bought Tom a tracker so I'm hoping to be able to let him off the lead soon 🤞🏼 Xx
A walk through the forest 🌳 is wonderful this time of year, in the Fall. I love the crunch sound of the leaves as we walk through and step on them. 😂 I do love a magusto. 🌰 🍷 😋 Dia de São Martinho, Come-se castanhas E bebe-se vinho! We are getting a mild and beautiful Autumn and the leaves are just phenomenal! Enjoy your Autumn colours! 🍁 🍂 Take care! Hope to hear from you soon, again. Sam 🌷 🇨🇦
Good morning Sam 😊 Thanks soo much for watching 🙏🏼 It's really lovely here, we feel very blessed ❤️
I hope you know very well what kind of marshmallows to eat. Be aware that there is poison for ourselves. Read a lot, and with dought, give to animals first before to eat. The kings used animals to be alive, the kings, and not the animals. In XXI Isn't used anymore, but certainly everyone prefers that methods then lose a family person. Not so many years ago, a family died in Alentejo bcz of marshmallows. They thought that was benevolent, good to eat. Yes, they are similar to the poison ones. Be careful. Take time to read and won't be offended by my warning. The location you're is very beautiful.
Thank you Paulo 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I know they are very dangerous and there were children here (years ago) that the old folks still warn about who passed away from eating the incorrect mushrooms. It's very sad. I only consume the parasol mushrooms as I'm certain I can identify them but you are very kind to be worried for us.
Congratulations Awen!.. Yummy beautiful big mushrooms. Love your walkes with the ferry babies. Enjoy your weekend. Take care❤
Good morning Maria 🌅 I hope you are well 🙏🏼 The parasol mushrooms are delicious we had them that night for dinner. Dave loves them. See you next week hopefully 🤞🏼 Xxx
Omg that is huge fungus, you will have to let me know what your going to do with them.
Hi Terry 👋🏼 We had them fried for dinner 👌🏼 nothing fancy just chips, eggs and beans with the fried parasols. I had planned on doing a pasta dish with them but Dave preferred them this way ☺️ Hope you're both keeping well 🙏🏼 Xxx
Good morning 🌞 Thanks for tuning in 😊❤️🇵🇹 Xxx
I'm glad you're feeling better. What a wonderful walk in the woods with the dogs and looking for mushrooms. Thanks for taking us along. I would love to see what you cook with the mushrooms.
Good morning Joan 🌞 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼 I did a simple dinner with them in the end, nothing fancy, they are just nice fried with some olive oil, salt and pepper and just enjoy they're flavour as they are. We feel very lucky they grow just by our house. They are delicious. Another perk of living here 🫶🏼❤️🇵🇹🙌🏼 Xxx
I’m so pleased you have a new job, especially one that uses all your skills. I have an autistic son, he was non verbal for a long time but he’s in his forties now and lives independently. I found art play hugely helpful. I watched Portugal from scratch hunting mushrooms, she saw lots of oak galls, if you can find these they make a really good lightfast ink, it’s easy and people will buy it which could add another string to your bow. I love your dogs❤️
Good morning Denise 🌞 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼 I'm enjoying my new job, it's very rewarding and I feel good to be giving back to the community here. Hopefully also if I can save a bit of money Dave can have a bit of time off to work on our house 🤞🏼

Hey guys 😊 Lots of work! In the end it’s worth it! We’re in the process of reno work as well. 😓 😬 I see the light, yes yes I do, at the end of the tunnel. It might be a long tunnel, but the light is shining. 😆 Looking forward to your complete renovation in your Portuguese house, that you’re turning into a home. Take care. Lar doce lar 🏡 💜 Sam 🌷

Try and get a microphone closer to you for the sound...
Thank you! Yes, once we make a bit of money from TH-cam we'll definitely invest it back into better equipment. I try and do what I can with editing and I'm conscious of it when filming 👌🏼🙏🏼 Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate all the feedback we get on here Xxx
Kitchen looks fantastic and dishwasher is a godsend 😂 so glad we decided to fit one when we planned our kitchen too. Take care, Brian and Diane
It's made such a difference! Really enjoying making dinners again knowing I don't have to do the washing up 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Wow! It's like you've got a brand new kitchen. What a nice gift. It looks great!
Thank you 🙏🏼 It's a small (usable) space, that's why some of the appliances aren't in the best position but it's not the 'final' kitchen. We need to take out the whole floor and replace the joists before we can put in the final kitchen. Thanks soo much for watching Xxx
Like how you keep improving your life in Portugal.
Thank you Martina ❤️ Both the oven and dishwasher have made a big difference to dinner times 👌🏼
Great work fitting the cooker and dishwasher, seemingly small improvements make such a difference in your quality of life I'm sure. 👍🏼👍🏼
The dishwasher has been absolutely fantastic 😍 We've not had one (plumbed in) for 5 years! It's soo nice not having to wash dishes 👌🏼
Couldn't you have put the dishwasher on the other side of the sink where your drying rack and things are?
Hi Kathy 👋🏼 We've got a big wardrobe there, we could move it but I'm not sure where we'd put it! This is why we need to renovate the downstairs 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
