I'm looking from Capetown southafrica.74year young lady.😅
It seems I am popular in Cape Town. Thank you for being here 🙏💕
Great job on the pool cover. You might consider replacing the poisonous plants around your pool with Rosemary plants, it really smells great and would provide the same privacy cover and of course you would no longer have to worry about getting too close to dangerous plants while relaxing in your pool. Love your sweet homestead, you have created such a lovely place.
Hi Lauri, your idea about rosemary plants is a good one as it will also keep the wasps away 😀💕
Your videos have become one of my favorites. Your approach to life is so natural. You aren't wasteful. You live in the moment. Beijos is looking happy as is the dog.
I totally agree with you!!
As a deaf person I appreciate your annunciation. I can read your lips easily. I'm from Sunshine Coast Hinterland Queensland Australia
I am so happy you are able to read my lips. I will put Queensland on the map 🗺️💕
Leave the overhang 😎🥰
It’s a blessing to have fruits in the your own garden ❤
It really is. I loved the fruit trees of Brasil when I visited there 😀
Four of us from Cape Town! I from Durban and another from Jo'berg! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I will put some more pins on the map 🗺️💕
He leído tu vida y es fascinante! Mujer valiente!❤❤
Thank you. It’s much more fulfilling to be brave and step out of our comfort zones than stay stuck and only be content in life. We deserve so much more than that 🙏💕
Such a nice room to be in
Hi Suzie, love that you can walk out and pick fruit for your yoghurt breakfast. Then later a cheese, tomato and onion sarnie! Great cover...what happens if Bejos jumps into the middle? Will strut in wall hold his weight? You have a collection of vintage furniture, really nice, esp that table for outdoor entertaining. A real find! I too bought an old house in the 60's, on smallholding with orange trees and its own spring water fed into a dam. This is why i enjoy your post as i found another thatched roof house, sold the first and bought this one! And so on...am 76 yrs now in a rental, garden cottage, with squirrels and bird life who are fed all day!! This is in leafy, southern suburbs of Cape Town. Take care!!🐈🦮🐝🦋💐
Sounds like you have lived in some beautiful places. Who knows where I will be at 76. Let’s see 😀💕
Hi Suzie from Nova Scotia, Canada🇨🇦 Cheers
Welcome Irene. Great to have you here from 🇨🇦💕
Your cat is adorable and it's all shaping up nicely.
The old kitchen is quite a sizable space, I didn't realise, that's going to be really useful. I wonder with the pool cover, if you were to put the steps in an out at the side where you had the camera...it would be easier to put the cover on and manage to climb out easier?
I love your programme, such good Sunday viewing.
Thank you, I am glad you enjoy the videos. I explain on Sunday what I will be doing in the old kitchen 😀💕
It's hard for me to tell (because I'm old and bad eye sight lol), but I think I see that North Carolina is represented on that map!!! YAY!! I wonder if I am the only one from NC watching? Doubtful. I'm sure I'm not the only one that pops onto YT to dream of other lands!!! LOL And on a side note, SOOO happy that the kitty has come back!! Those 2 adorable babies napping in the shade are
Yes, it seems I have a few subscribers in North Carolina. We all dream of other lands even if we love the one we live in. The animals are a delight 😀💕
Great work and content from Roanoke, Virginia USA. 💗
Thank you. Virginia is on the map 🗺️💕
Hi again, Suzie, thinking about your very nice vintage furniture! The chest of drawers, kist type wooden box, delicate plant holder and very comfy couch/ day bed. All perfect and so useful, in your house! Kist lightly sanded and varnished, for under your lounge window? drawers, top sanded, varnished for bedroom and couch perfect for guest, to sleep on, placed in lounge with throw. To empty the kitchen prior to renovate. It is well screeded and a small area, (bnb) needs to be painted to look spacious and fresh and pretty. Maybe guests wont like the stone look. I think it was cemented for a reason. Your online audience may want to rent for a few days while touring Portugal. A very nice income to have for improvements to property you have planned. Hope you dont mind my imagination working overtime!! 😊💐
Your suggestions are also welcome Nicolette. The old kitchen space is bigger than it looks on video. I must measure it 😀💕
You should use the bricks that you have stored ass steps to get in and out of the pool more easily. Thank you for the great video.❤
Thank you for being here 🙏💕
I am from Gold Coast Australia and I love watching you I would love to have the courage to go an aventure like you I love what you do my name is Gladys ❤❤❤

Hi, from Spain.
Where in Spain? 🇪🇸 I have space for several pins 😀💕
Amoras , I love that
Starting from the other side of the pool would solve the exit issue. Perhaps ahandcrankto wind it back up against the wall. 😊
I had the same thought too Christine 🙏💕
Hi Susie adding my location now Grand rapids Michigan USA

Hello from belgium 😊🦋🌹

I like the idea for your pool cover thanks for the update the peace and quiet is priceless see you in your next video 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️
Thanks John. It is very serene here 🙏💕
I think I’d try and turn the cover round a bit and pull it from the back wall to the side where you get in and out if it’s big enough
I have had that same thought 😀💕
Te sigo desde Argentina

Love seeing what you are up to. I enjoy diy videos. I also love the colorful sun dress you have on. Please tell me where you got it!
I’ve had that dress for a long time and I honestly can’t remember where I bought it. It’s perfect for these hot summer days 😀💕

Hi Susi, love your dream room. Come visit to Canada. I have been to Portugal. Beautiful place. I wish I live there. Wish you all the best❤
I have been to Canada several times as I have family living there 😀💕
Aww😊 thank you for taking the time to reply❤love your videos. Very authentic and natural. I am impressed by you doing everything on your own and living your dream life. Wish you well👍
Great room for guests ❤ You might be able to make the table smaller? Beijos is such a sweetheart ❣️😻 He is always by your side❣️. Scool is so cute looking after Beijos. 👍🥰👍
I have a lovely animal family indeed even if they are not actually mine. I am grateful for their company 😀💕

I love your videos ❤
Thank you so much Isabel 🙏💕
Přeji krásný den Suzi . Sleduji vás z Czech republik - Prague
A beautiful city that I have yet to visit 💕
Olá Suzi, grande ideia expor a pedra das paredes como na casa vai ficar maravilhosa 😊
Obrigada Sérgio. Acho que vai ficar ótimo, mas dá muito trabalho 😅💕
@@dreamlifeportugal eu sei bem mas o esforço compensa
Suzi it’s just awesome seeing bejos ( I can’t spell) and he looks so happy there with you.
Beijos is kisses in Portuguese. He loves to kiss me with his nose 😀💕
OH my your cat is a true tuxedo🤗 have one as well.
Yes he is 😂😂
He leído tu historia de vida y me parece fascinante!!❤❤❤❤. Ver cómo te acompaña tu gatito me encanta pues es igualito al mío y parece que es él ❤😂. Son tan divertidos. Pero ten cuidado no use el sofá de rascador.
Saludos desde Huelva,! (Sur de España).
Lovely to have you here. I will put a blanket over the sofa as Beijos has found a new bed on it 😀💕
Interesting taking the render off and looking at the stone wall. I am from middle England. Love the world map, what a good idea to track where your viewers are from. Thank you for your videos.
It’s great to have you here Madeline. I’m looking forward to uncovering the beautiful stones 😀💕
Hi Suzi I love your videos too also from Cape Town South Africa. Inspirational 😊
Thank you so much. It’s great to have you here 🙏💕
Try rolling the pool cover 1/2 each way with the silver side up. Then you just have to place it in the centre of the pool and roll out half each way. With the silver side up it will end up with the blue side showing. If that makes sense?
I believe blackberry bushes are called brambles. And they make delicious jelly for your toast!
Yes, you are right they are called brambles. I love a blackberry and apple pie 😀💕
Where there is a will, there is a way! Great job on the pool cover! Beijos is so cute. Big fan, Mary from Gulfport, Florida. 😊 I think the table would be great on the other side of your house by the dream room. One of those angled umbrella stands would look great with it.
Thanks Mary. It was a great idea of yours 🙏💕
Maybe that beautiful table you can transform into a headboard for your future guest room?? And the legs into a console table !??
Yes, everything is recyclable 😀💕
I saw Missouri on the map! 😊
You have good eyes 😀💕
@@dreamlifeportugal I actually have poor vision. I just know where I live… lol 😂
Hi Suzie, I'm your suscriber, i do follow your videos since "Casa de Frutas", n I'm in the north of Mexico n i hope that your goal of 10k b done soon! ❤
That’s great Maria, thank you 🙏💕
Your persistence certainly pays off for you. Now you can keep your pool clean when not in use. It's so much fun to watch the transformation of something that was abandoned or neglected. And I can see your excitement about having a large garden and the abundance it will bring you in the future. You are making great progress in spite of it being very hot. BTW, I live in Chandler, AZ., and it is extremely hot here in the summer too; however, we don't have high humidity.
I am glad you are enjoying the transformation. Sometimes I forget how much I have achieved in just 6 months. I will put a pin on the map for AZ 😀💕
Nashville, TN. Been watching for a long time.
I forgot to say last week, sorry, Kent UK xx
My son lives in Kent, in Wadhurst 😀💕

That headboard is beautiful, why are you not using in your bedroom?
The headboard is for a standard double and I wanted a big bed in my big bedroom. I will probably sell it 💕
Holland 😊
Yay! It’s in the Map 🗺️💕
Ola’ Suzi add me to your map 🗺 John from Pensacola ,Florida where the beach’s are white as sugar ❤️ you look beautiful in your yellow dress ❤️ just a idea 💡 paint your door to your dream room make it special because dreams start here when you enter see you in your next video 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️
Nice idea John. Let me think about it. Maybe it should have a rainbow 🌈 on it 😀 Florida is already on the map, I have a few subscribers from there.
You need to be cautious about the mould on your furniture, it can cause respiratory & skin problems.
I'd leave the pool cover oversized as it'll probably droop too much if you make it smaller & the cats could jump on it, slide in & end up trapped underneath with no way out of the water. Be a good idea to replace the poisonous plants with something nice & non poisonous & give yourself a bit of room to get in & out of the water safely.
Your home is looking lovely, the map is a great idea.
Annie, I agree with all you have said. I’ve cleaned the mould off the sofa, it wasn’t much. That sofa will not remain in the old kitchen 💕
@@dreamlifeportugal Well done that woman! I brushed bicarbonate of soda into a bed base that I found a bit of mould on once, left it for a couple of days then vacuumed off & it seemed to do the job ok, didn't come back or smell either. Bicarb is anti bacterial, useful stuff.
Looking forward to your next video. 💐
Its a good thing that you removed the plastic from the couch so that it could breath hopefully to stop the mould and mildew. It would be a great space to do some preserves, if your into that sort of thing that is, i just totally love your property😊
Cooking is not really something I prioritise currently. Maybe in the future when I have more produce 😀💕
Thank you Suzi for letting us all join in your great achievements in your lovely home ..I am a Derry girl if you would like a marker for the North of Ireland on your map
Thank you Pamela for being here. Fabulous that I can put a pin for Northern Ireland 🙏💕
Hi Miss I'm from Curaçao.
A little Island in the Caribbean ❤
Welcome from one of the most beautiful places in the world 🙏💕
That big trunk might be more useful standing on its end with shelves put inside. You could use small blocks on the bottom (end) for feet and then the lid would be a door. It would be accessible than a trunk.
That’s a great idea 🙏💕
What no-one from Essex? I live in Colchester, the oldest recorded town in GB and the original Roman capital, if you'd like to put that on the map.The weather here is glorious today but thankfully it's not expected to get above 28C. For medical reasons I really don't do well when it's very hot. It's also great to see the cat's ok and in high spirits. I'm in the middle of trying to sort out my house as well, it just seems like it's taking forever. ❤
The U.K. is so small on my map. I will squeeze you in there 😀 The Portuguese people have learnt how to cope with the heat very well even though most of the old ladies wear black. Sorting out stuff is never an easy task. I wish you well with it. It feels good when it is done 😀💕
❤❤
Can’t remember if I haded myself from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
Cape Town is already on the map 🗺️😀💕
Tampa, Florida, USA
Florida is well represented 😀💕
Un vídeo precioso ❤❤
Obrigada 🙏💕
Can you put a chest of drawers in your bedroom closet? Just a suggestion!
I do already have a chest of drawers in the bedroom. The room is so large I have plenty of space to put more things but I am loving the feeling of being a minimalistic. 😀💕
I’m wondering if you can attach the pool cover to the wall end of the pool? My feeling is that it would be easier to roll/unroll?
Also I’d be inclined to roll it so that you’re rolling into the top (blue) side because it would then be easier to roll it out that way.
The rendered walls in the old kitchen - I can see you chipping away at that a little bit at a time. It’s irresistible 😂
You just gave me an idea of using some metal support brackets. Yes, removing the render is definitely something I am drawn towards although a messy job 😀💕
@@dreamlifeportugal Yay 😁
love your vid. ❤ from Philippines
Thank you! 😃💕
Ok i see uhave South Africa i am just closer to Johannesburg
I will put a pin for you Maria 😀💕
Sydney, Australia. Beijos is the best!
He’s the star of the show 😀💕
@dreamlifeportugal as in life, those that do all the hard work get no recognition, and the supervisors reap all the profits and bask in the glory!
Beautiful headboard. Why is not gracing your room?
What is the old kitchen going to become?
I wanted a huge bed as my bedroom is so big. The headboard is just a standard double. I will reveal about the old kitchen in the next video 😀💕
Conoces en TH-cam a los The Newbys? Ellos tienen 180.000 suscriptores, uno de las claves de su éxito es que responden a prácticamente a todos los comentarios. Y anima a darle a la publicidad que youtube pone pues así ganan más y puden seguir adelante. ❤❤
I always respond to every comment 🙏💕
🥴 creio que devia cuidar do telhado do anexo da entrada. Seria um apoio para o que quer fazer na cozinha antiga. Mais um inverno e desaba tudo🤷 🤗
It’s on the list to remove. I think it is stronger than it looks 😀💕
Hello from “ Colorful Colorado” I would love to be a part of your world map!
You already have a pin. I visited Colorado a couple of years ago. Wow, the Rocky Mountains are incredible ⛰️💕
Hallo Suzi please put the date under your total of 8319. I've got a note book with all my YT channels and the amount of subscribers I've watch and their location. The most channels I've watch is from Portugal also properties for sale😅. That's only a dream because I am to old to start all over again. In a wheelchair and old age home. Granny South Africa.❤
I appreciate your support. It’s so good for the soul to dream and it’s great that you can find enjoyment in watching these types of videos 🙏💕
The chaise looks a bit too big for the old kitchen - why not try to sell it - then you will have more space and you can refurbish the space with less stuff around.
I did a refurb and I had loads of STUFF that I kept on moving from room to room to room. Looking back I wish I had got rid of most of it!!
That’s the plan Amanda. It may temporarily go in the Adega until I can sell it. As will a lot of the other larger pieces of furniture 😀💕
Osga, não lagartixa
Desenrolar ao contrário, da parede pRa o lado onde começou agora
Thank you Isabel for the suggestion. Unfortunately it’s not possible as the pole is only sat on a piece of rock on the wall and will just fall off. However, turning the pole lengthwise may work 🙏💕
Peter is my name ,,from Durban South Africa ,,no marker for me ,,wonder what happened
Hi Peter, I will find where you are a put a pin 😀💕
I know u hate to but stop feeding the other cats it looks like they have a home and eating at both places.. Feed ur cat in the house and have ur cat spayed..Those cats may stop coming around because they are fighting over her and food! If u have to get ur cat some stuff and make him a house cat!!!😊
Hi Michele, i stopped feeding the brown and white cat and he no longer comes here. I will be getting Beijos neutered. All is calm here now. Thank you for your advice 🙏💕
Hay
❤❤❤
