Hello everyone, thanks for all your concern. Just letting you guys know that our content is backdated and we’ve arrived back to our land safely, hence the change in scenery for the advertisement. We explain more about what we got up to in the UK in next weeks video ❤
Great video guys!! Hope you're travels back were safe and you're not frozen! A lot colder than Portugal here isn't it! Good video and hope you're both ok nice you're going back to weekly uploads and be good to see what you're up to whatever that is.. be nice when you can spend more time in Portugal but it's a journey isn't it so enjoy the ride so to speak! Have a great rest of the week! Cheers from London 👍😎🏴
This is great news about continuing your channel . I admire your persistent efforts, resourcefulness and your attention to details. I find your videos to be very calming and the selection of music uplifting. I pray that your travels are safe and prosperous.
Great to hear that, been following keenly from Kenya and really enjoying every move you guys make,love your energy,commitment and togetherness,very uplifting.
Good job, but a suggestion for next time, the roof of your bathroom does not protrude so that it reaches the water collection cannelloni well enough, so the wood will get wet and a lot of water will be lost, you always have to leave the I left 5 or 7 cm, but well maybe haven't seen it well, I'll follow you wherever you go because you're great and you make a great team, thanks for sharing the videos, see you next week, greetings
The farm is yours, whatever fate throws at you in the UK will not take you away from what you have fought and worked so hard for, you are young and you have plenty of energy to deal with whatever comes your way and there will always be time to return home.
You will get there in terms of your homestead. Lots of people give out free advice that you should just quit the old life all at once, just do it they say, it will work out. Well a lot of the times it doesn't. My own experience was that I had to do it in stages. Working thousands of miles away, saving, then returning to my land, doing a bit, going away again etc. Your comment about not starting planting because you won't be there to water the plants brought back my own experience. You will get there. You have made the big move already and have made a really brilliant start on your land. Joy and happiness to you both at this Christmas season.
Thanks for understanding, we’ve felt the pressure to meet up to peoples expectations in the comments but like you say it takes time and we have to do it bit by bit. We don’t have an unlimited pot of money and it’s going to be an ongoing project for us. We explain more about our journey in the next video 💖
You are making a beautiful homestead in Portugal and can't wait when everything in UK is taken care of, that we see the journey on your way back with big smiles and your dreams! Love you! Be careful. ❤❤❤
SO SAD TO SEE YA ALL LEAVIN... HURRY BACK!!!! WE WILL BE MISSIN YA . AND THAT JACKERY COMMERCIAL WAS THE BEST ...EVER!!!! LOLOLOL, I WAS LAUGHIN HARD!. IT WAS MOST EXCELLENT. SAFE TRAVELS YOUNGSTERS.
Hi you two hope everything turns all right for you. Bloody freezing here 🇬🇧 Hope you are soon back on the land that you have put so much love ❤️ into. Tony. xx
Nice one. Getting free stuff already! Before long Bluetti will be in touch and you'll be sorted for power. I hope it's not a D7 your going back for, I've heard they are a nightmare of a process. Safe travels to both of you and have a lovely Christmas. 🎄😊
I've loved every minute of watching you both make this farmland into a wonderful home. Your determination and energy is a thing to behold, and I'm so sad to see you both leave, which is a thing of beauty and love that you both have put into this blissful place, which you both cherish as your new home !! When I first heard this, I thought you were both leaving and not returning and now I'm so glad that you two will return and continue this work of love. Have you asked the farmer neighbour of yours to keep his eye on things while your away. Anyway have a safe journey, and please return ASAP. Best wishes Dave.
Well you ve done one thing right by flying back and not driving as far too expensive. When you get back, might be an idea to call in and see me and Ill give you some tips and advise on how to make it work better Enjoy the rsin and gales as U.K. ia one placeI will never go back too.
Hi guys, first time I look at this , very impressive you have the skills, the right age, & the heart in that place, hope you can make it back , I think this is where your life is, best of luck , wish u the very best, andres
Its lovely to see you guys and hear your Northern accent, It really is inspiring to know that these things are possible even for someone like me! Thanks guys, I hope to bump into you one day in Newcastle or somewhere in the NorthEast! I really would like that! Cheers.
Don't be gone long or keep doing videos I well miss the both of you and the farm you put out great videos I no every one needs a break but I well be here when you get back Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.
When was this video made? The grass still look so dry for this time of the year. I will also have to go to UK for a couple of weeks. I will miss so much my land in Portugal and It will be freezing there!
If you want an inexpensive way to preserver your wood you can coat it with used car oil. Southern Europe is hard on bare wood with burrowing ants, carpenter ants and grubs shredding up bare lumber within a few years. It doesn't look that glamorous but it does work.
If your having to leave because of the 90 days European union regulations, check out the Wildlanders who are living off grid in Central Portugal. I think you will get a lot of information from them and there website. Can't wait to see you both back. Tom xx.
Sorry you have to leave your homestead, but have a good journey. Look forward to future posts. Your ad for the solar generator was creative and light-hearted, well done.
I have the feeling that you should have a second water storage IBC to receive the first IBC'S overflow. Good luck with everything and have a Happy Christmas break. All the best.
Dreams only come true if you chase them you are both young with a beautiful life together on your land. I'm sure after returning from the UK you will appreciate your life in Portugal even more. Live, love and always be happy
It's been a joy to watch you guys living my dream 😄 Was about to say how bad I felt for you having to come back to the UK but then I seen the update you jammy gits 😄. Didn't realise there were more videos as only watched the last 3 but loved them. Well done 👏
Just a word of caution: There are different types of plastic zip ties. For outdoor use, you want to make sure they are for outdoor use and UV resistant. I didn't know about this and had used the wrong plastic zip ties to hold the wire on my Chicken coop. They didn't last through the first hot summer. They became brittle and broke on their own. I since have bought the Metal, stainless zip ties. Overkill maybe, but they have survived their first hot summer without any sign of deterioration. The outdoor, UV resistant, zip ties probably would have worked, but what the heck, it's only money. Art in California,USA.
Every home has a story. Sometimes it takes YEARS to get things going the way you want. A week, a Month, even a season may be needed to get things in order or to make a few bucks to progress to the next level. Work at your pace and remember the end goal, things WILL work out.
Sorry to see you leave. Surprised you didn’t take the van to bring more things back. Hope it’s to spend Xmas with relatives or to work and make some money to come back. We will be here waiting for you. Have a wonderful Xmas with relatives and friends. Lots of love from Florida. The commercial was the best! I bet they will continue sending you products.
Hello there. It seems a shaim to be leaving such a nice place. It looks nice and warm there. The solar panels are the way to go. Our government should come to there sense and go solar. If everyone had solar panels on there homes, There wouldn't be any Need for Gas supplied by Russia. It would be better all than wind or Nuclear power.
That’s is very hard and sad to see you both going back home specially when you both was packing up because remember when I did it the same thing Good luck for your Journey 🙏🙏👋👋🍻🍻
...headin' back to the UK after livin' there.... what a drag man!😂....I assume its for a higher purpose... ah well, sooner you go the sooner you get back! Great vids guys😀
This was the most natural outcome of the whole story. It is hard to live in the countryside, especially in a Mediterranean climate. You should not feel bad about returning to the UK. Take it as an experience, work, save money, buy more land if you can, and then try again. You will discover that in order to make a living you basically need a lot more than 5000 square meters. Make it at least 20 000 metres, with at least half of it irrigated land (I mean legally irrigated). If you have that, with two or three years of hard work you will begin to be more independent. You have to count on having animals (chicken for eggs and meat, sheep and goat, along with their corresponding veterinary costs). Good luck!
Stacking all the wood on one side of the tunnel has may not be the best idea..looks like a lot of weight against that one wall... Hope it'll be like you left it when you get back.
Hi this is my first time I seen your video and hoping it won't be the last.. I loved you guys..especially the sister..whom made me tears up when seen her because she reminded me with my youngest sister whom I didn't seen more than 25 years.. and she is really look alike her the last time I seen .. life is not that easy .. and also continue tearing from my heart when felt the sister sadness that leaving your homestead.. hopefully guys you coming back and no one or power will make you leaving your simple love home again.. I am sure it's not that easy to live like that ..but it's less headache and dirt and cowards and Hypocrisy and others to deal with .. simple life of love and trust as God meant way for real humanity living..love you guys .. by the Way I sm a gifted spiritual Healer..
Thanks so much for the kind words, it means a lot to us both 💖 We are back safely at the homestead now, we have a video out tonight sharing our journey
The Jackeray Solar Generator seems good and useful. Do you charge the toolssss with it? Did you buy this land and an old buildig, to live in later? Or just in the summer? Are those olive trees? Bearing fruit? Whre is the 1st vid? I love that yioóu dressed the van walls with wood, don't get why the thumping, brutal noise. Other music was nice in the end though.- How níce to be two.
Hi guys, just found your channel. Really enjoyed your journey. Question, as a Brit how do you plan on getting the visas to allow you to stay permanently in Portugal? Many thanks.

Great to hear that, been following keenly from Kenya and really enjoying every move you guys make,love your energy,commitment and togetherness,very uplifting.
That is a pretty nice power station except that it does cost quite a lot for power station with a 1kWh capacity.
Laura & Dan ,two beautiful soul's with great dream's & making the Dream come True, Love you Guys ❤️
Big love back at you thanks for support really means a lot
For a 1kWh power station, that Explorer 1000 does look pretty large and heavy

Bloody cold where l am in Australia too, and it's Summer! Had one day of 34C last week, today it's 12C ⛄🌨☔

You guys keep a neat and organized homestead/tool storage! Makes it easier to find what you need.💕
Do it quickly may it'll be rain

Oooh!! You TWO are just so precious and beautiful and please know that we LOVE YOU BOTH very much!!!
In my experience using white plastic ties will break within a year due to the sun's rays. Best to use black ties as they will last indefinitely.
Thanks for the tip ❤
Safe journey back! Look forward to when you get back again. Happy Christmas to you and your family x
Thanks Jenny, we're back in Portugal now 😀 we explain more in the video next week
Actually didn’t fast forward through the commercial. Well done
Unforseen reasons are, by definition, unforseen.
You will handle it.

hopefully your homestead/van will be ok on your return after the amount of rain that has fallen in portugal recently,boa viagem 🙂
As I read that you are both back in Portugal again already I hope that whatever required wasn't too bad.

Love the Jackery ad 😂 amazing guys wish you all the best 🫶
Some rain in your location, hope that stream didn't flooded.
Haha! Best Jackery ad I’ve seen. 😂 You would be right at home here in Australia.
Have a safe and happy trip.

já estou com saudade,tudo de bom para vocês
Wishing you all the best
Just paint the IBC Tote black and you won't have to worry.
Looks like love the stuff you put in the pilot only could have been in the barn and been more secure...
Safe journey.

Why not use cords to hold down the tarp?
wow, what a channel. Well done. Hope it all works out. Live the dream!
Thanks so much!

You most definately need a trailer to move stuff around.
you sound like you have escaped from the grim North East of England, as a South Shields lad myself I can totally understand why . . .
😆
quick back god bless happy new years
Awesome I love it
Thanks 💖
White tie raps will crack in a short time due to the ulta violet rays, and so always use black tie raps

The Jackeray Solar Generator seems good and useful. Do you charge the toolssss with it? Did you buy this land and an old buildig, to live in later? Or just in the summer? Are those olive trees? Bearing fruit? Whre is the 1st vid? I love that yioóu dressed the van walls with wood, don't get why the thumping, brutal noise. Other music was nice in the end though.- How níce to be two.
Good job brother and sister have a nice day
Thanks, you too!💖
Loving the bad boys 😆
:)
sorry about my last comment - you guys were way ahead of me
super great 😃👍
foi triste ver vossa partida.
I was so sad when you left your property.
Hi guys, just found your channel. Really enjoyed your journey. Question, as a Brit how do you plan on getting the visas to allow you to stay permanently in Portugal? Many thanks.
Glad you found and thanks for support. We are going apply
Hopefully you don't get heavy snow or ice storms...
Poly tunnel would not hold up:-(
We live in Portugal ;)
