Hello Everyone, happy Sunday! A bit of a late video as we normally aim for Saturdays. It has been super busy and a bit more difficult to publish videos weekly! We hope to be able to do that soon. We hope you enjoy the video today with a finished project. A massive thanks to Hugo, Karla and of course Simon for everything! Did you like the video? Let us kniw below! Thank you for watching and see you soon!
Absolutely love your videos. Cannot wait for them to come out. All your combined efforts are making you & your family a super home. Simon is obviously used to building work & is wonderful for his knowledge & help. The stonework is beautiful. But it all comes back to team work & you all work so well together. It is a combined effort & everyone is equal to the other. Even the main builder is no good without the others in the team who may know more about something else. Andre I am impressed with you also mucking in & doing anything that needs to be done. What a lovely kind neighbour you have that's also good to know. I bet your Mam cannot wait to get into her new house. I am sure your Dad is with you all helping you on this difficult venture. As someone else said you did the correct angle on that piece of wood so he must be there. it is looking fabulous already. Thank you for doing the videos & inviting us to watch & be amazed.
I loved your explanation of why you choose not to film many experiences in your life in Portugal. It's so thoughtful and smart to have those kinds of boundaries and to truly be in the moment with those precious times.
Your portuguese is almost on point!!! Keep practising and you will be fluent in our language! I really love to watch your videos, they makes us think of our country and our people as a hole. Thank you very much!
Thank you Pedro! Getting there, it is a tricky language specially because so many words also exist in Spanish but they mean something totally different! haha So you have to watch it like "Sua comida esta exquisita" hahahaha Never say that! I'm so glad you say that, I do hope we are showing Portugal as the lovely place it truly is.
It’s nice to have good kind hearted neighbours and on the whole Portuguese people are very very loving..well done,i love the project renovation 100 percent..
What a fantastic artisan Simon is, his work is very impressive. It was beautiful to show your appreciation of your wonderful neighbours and friends, it was truly moving.
Thank you Wendy! We cannot express how fortunate we are having someone like Simon involved in our renovation. We are building a family home with family involved which its one of a kind. My neighbours are the best. Everytime they hear us work, they come over to have a look and appreciate it. They really love the fact we are rescuing the place which was abandoned for 20 years.
Thank you Hugo, Karla, Simon, for helping so much with the build of their homestead. Washing machine!!! Yes!!! Your Portuguese is great! Love you guys and the family.
Great progress folks, lovely to see the main project and all the little side projects too. You are a lovely couple and i love your commentary, especially your giggle . I'm looking forward to lots more videos ❤❤
It is ALWAYS a good idea to show appreciation to people who help us along the way WHILE they are helping us. Too often it is done way AFTER when it is too late. Good job Andrea Omar and Simon.
aw Thank you so much! I was very teary that day actually. It made me feel like I belonged here and welcomed. It is amazing what a nice gesture does to someone.Even a smile to a stranger in the streets. You don't know what they are going through so this gestures made me feel very blessed and how kind people are here.
Huhuuu, amazing you speak Portuguese perfectly, I loved it. 👏👏💚💝 The Portuguese are generous lol 🤭. My son lives in Porto. I love Portugal lol 🤭 I'm Brazilian, I live in Brazil and I always watch your videos. 😊I heard that metallic blankets reduce the Internet signal. Be careful just use them. Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷 🎉😊❤
Your Portuguese was amazing 👌 understood everything... well done...loved seeing that the kitty is already working on fertilization of the land... well done to him too...and Omar you are doing an amazing job on the build of your home.... well done to you all 👏👏👏👏
ahh! Thank you! It is a very hard language but we are getting there. Hopefully, once we have a bit more time, we can go to classes and get our B1-2. Im hoping Luna learns to use the other 3000sqm of land able to be fertilised hahah
Thank you! I was beaming at that moment! Seriously teary as well. I also love the contrast of it, it makes it look so rustic yet elegant! We are a bit obsessed with it because ti also acts like a great treatment against bugs and weather
What a wonderful video! The progress on your buildings are just awesome. I loved that. You shared your neighbors with us. It is lovely to see such a community spirit.
Rebuilt wall is fabulous. Great to have some of the back-breaking garden work done by your generous neighbour. Not a good idea to let the cats use the veg patch as a toilet. Apart from potentially wrecking seedlings, their faeces can carry unpleasant diseases such as toxoplasmosis, salmonella and parasites. You need to find a physical solution for keeping them off.
Simon is amazing and that stone work on the outside of your moms room is so beautiful. The amount of work Simon has put in and the hours not to mention he is very patient. Omar and his brother are very talented. Well done guys I love watching the progress. The vegetable garden is coming on very nicely too. Have a great day.
Thank you! he is truly amazing, all the skill and the perfectionism behind his work its amazing. There is no way we could have done such a finish so we prefer to include people who not only know hwo to do it but does so efficiently. I want to show you guys one day the jewellery he makes with beautiful stones and silver!
You are correct guys, you are very lucky to have such wonderful neighbours, but I bet they are thankful that wonderful neighbours like you moved in to their community. Well done on the progress Simon, a genuine masterpiece.
The wall looks incredible, well worth the effort, great to be surrounded by great neighbours, next important things is to get some kind of structure / nets to keep the cats off your vegetable patch
Wow, the progress you are making is incredible! My heart thrilled to see that wall completed! ...and all the other things going on at the same time! What a great video! Thanks for sharing your journey on TH-cam. We get to experience renovation life through your experiences. And I love the snippets of kitty life as well 😻🐈⬛ Obrigada!
Thank you Miranda! That is so kind of you. This was a hard stage because it was at that moment where you build and build and renovate and still see everything not looking great but it is just really part of it. We are also trying to do as budget friendly as possible and in that way show that other people can do it too. Now, things have really picked up and we are so excited to show you. It looks so different :) Thank you for your support!
Your stone wall is an absolute work of art. I wish I had the patience to do that. The Portuguese are always so helpful. One of the biggest attraction to Portuguese life. I hope you have a lot of tomato recipes. You can feed an army with that crop 😂 Great video guys! Very impressive 😎👍 Great video guys.
Thank you guys! Simon is amazing and many Portuguese have come here and admired his work, even local pedreiros! I am really gearing up my recipes, specially pasatta! I have to start collecting my jars! haha I got a bunch of basil growing too. It does really warm my heart just thinking of all that amazing passatta Im goign to store! Hoep you guys are doign well. Thank you for your support and kind words :)
I could watch Simon build stonewalls for hours! He seems so at peace and so confident about what he’s doing, it’s just a joy to watch. By the way, your teeth are looking great! How much longer do you have to be in the braces?
He is. It's amazing the amount of meticulous skill. We are so blessed he is part of our renovation as he has really done so much. Mum is happy too as things are progressing well. Hoepfully one day I show also the jewellery he makes. Beautiful work!
Wow it is looking very impressive ,beautiful wood finish the contrast gives the building more definition, the stone work is exquisite really happy for you guys it does take a lot of dedication and love to achieve such high quality results well done and thank you for sharing your lovely journey
Bom Dia! Ótimo trabalho! Adoro ver vídeos que às pessoas tem o dom de fazer várias coisas diferentes. Acho super legal e nos inspira. Parabéns pra vocês 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Deus abençoe 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤
Hi there. I’ve been watching all your videos from the last year and loving the journey you’re in. I especially loved the exchange between you and your neighbors. I hope they love the cake you plan to bake for them. Also, could you share if Jos has a TH-cam channel?
Omaigudness, Hugo and Carla and Simon and everyone are such rock stars❣ 🤩 Aww, beautifully said , your message of gratitude to Portuguese people 💖. True! Cats that we care for have the best life 😄. 💋😺🤗
Thank you Ruth for your comment. It was a fantastic week we still greatly remember with fondness. Simon is amazing for sure. My cats are spoiled 1000%.
Olá Andrea!! Greetings from Capetown!! Loving it here in SA, but leaving already Wednesday.😢 l❤ ur Portuguese and surprised to find so much Portuguese culture here. TY for ur kindness to our country and people, which, modesty aside are very nice☺️ We ❤ having you both in 🇵🇹. Progress on the renovation is amazing, Simon rocks and so do u, Omar and family. Xoxo 🙏😘
oh wow M! I hope you had an amazing holiday! Was it a bit chilly there? Where were you! Omar was born in Cape Town but didnt live much there as his parents moved a bit, they still have that really strong South African accent though! Omar had the weirdest epiphany when he came to Portugal and realised the reason why he found himself so much at home it was because of the similarities. He also realised Pao Bico is definitely not south African (but widely available there as just a "normal roll") haha
@@TheIndigoEscape Andrea, I absolutely adored Africa!! 🇿🇼 was spectacular, 🇿🇦amazing. We went bankrupt 😩buying spices, masalas, biltong, coffee, Honesty chocolate, I even came home with a beautiful handcrafted coat!!🙈I am now in the poor 🏡 😁but the artistry in So. Africa is amazing. The food scene is fantastic. We stayed in Seaside right across the Mojo food Mall, and we stuffed our behinds big-time there. In Durban we stayed in Umhalanga and had a Café & Vida joint right across the 🏩 . We flipped and now Durban is on my list of fav cities. Loved the vibe of CPT, the SA English accent is great, Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula were outstanding. It was a bit nippy at night but quite lovely and sunny for 2 days. We did get a bit of drizzle in the last 2 days, but not bad at all, as we even took the gandola up Table Mountain and when it is bad, they close the ride. Yes So. Africa does have a lot of similarities to 🇵🇹, and it values our courageous maritime forefathers more than we do. We had a wonderful black So. African say during the tour that Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama are national heroes in SA!! 😁😱Imagine that, we were touched, especially when we saw the markers, and the Cape itself took so many of our ships and our sailors to the depths of the ocean,😥we paid our respects. Just let Omar know we thought of him (and you, of course) and we 😍 the fact he grew up with a little of Portuguese flavor in SA, we just didn't meet any of our compadres while there. The only "bad" thing was the grueling 36 hours it took getting there, and another 36 to come back, but we will return for sure. Omar must take u home to SA soon. Much love to u both and keep up the great work. 🙏 😊 😘🌹🇵🇹❤️🇿🇦
Gracias Susana! Si! Yo en Brighton, uando vivia alla, conoci a muchos Brasileros y ellos me enseñaron mucho Portugues. Aparte de que el Español es un poco parecido al Portugues y ayuda un poco, mas que todo al entenderlo escrito.
Gostei muito de te ouvir falar português durante o video. Falas muito bem. Parabéns. 24:34 Ainda bem que estás feliz em Portugal e que te inseres na comunidade próxima de ti. Vou continuar a ver os teus videos
aahhh! Thank you Sophie! They have changed loads! My dentist say I havent got long with it with made me very happy! I cant wait to be able to bite an apple or eat pop corn! lol
Thanks David! Which plants? The Azalea I got at Poiares market on a Monday, the seeds I got them online from a seed company from Oliveira de Hospital which is awesome because they are nearby! The pots that are hanging were from bulbs and I bought them at Lidl!
If you’re looking for a deep rich tea for your mason, try to find Yorkshire Tea, from the UK. They also make Yorkshire Gold, but I prefer just Yorkshire. It’s delicious! ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Jan! I have discovered they sell it at our local market every month and now I am blessed with a 100 tea bag box! Which may last 2 weeks! hahah I miss Earl grey so much though so Im hoping to get some in the summer when my other sister visits!
Obrigada Carlos! E uma lingua dificil mais os portugueses sao perssoas que gostan de conversar com a gente entao aproveito para falar com quem quer! Eu aprendei Ingles em muitos anos e costo muito tambem, como 2 anos para aprender falar. Nunca e tarde!
Can't believe you guys haven't made a composting bin to use on your land. Dont need to buy compost. Just make it from all kitchen scraps and grass. Anything organic, really
don’t think you have been watching from the start as that was one of our first projects. You can’t use compost right away, it needs to cure which takes minimum a year after filling it. Ours it’s not full yet.

I absolutely love Simon's stonework. You all have made terrific progress.
Orgullosa de ustedes y, todo lo que hacen con mucho cariño.
you made me tear up by speaking Portuguese and by showing so much appreciation for your generous neighbors and your adoptive country! 🥲🙏
It is ALWAYS a good idea to show appreciation to people who help us along the way WHILE they are helping us. Too often it is done way AFTER when it is too late. Good job Andrea Omar and Simon.

That wall is a thing of beauty.
The burnt wood treatment is so natural and an attractive contrast.
Hurray for the open-hearted Portuguese!
Thank you! I was beaming at that moment! Seriously teary as well.
I also love the contrast of it, it makes it look so rustic yet elegant! We are a bit obsessed with it because ti also acts like a great treatment against bugs and weather
I'm so happy you posted a new video, I've really missed you guys and your fascinating journey.
Thank you and sorry we are not more constant with videos but it is a little bit of a rush at the moment!

Nice Portuguese keep trying 😊🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Lin!
Major job

Great job guys great progress

Thanks David! Which plants? The Azalea I got at Poiares market on a Monday, the seeds I got them online from a seed company from Oliveira de Hospital which is awesome because they are nearby! The pots that are hanging were from bulbs and I bought them at Lidl!
It was fun to hear you speak Portuguese, Andrea. I was curious if you and Omar spoke the language, especially since you speak Spanish from Venezuela.
Eu sou português já subscrevi o vosso canal gostei muito depois que vi dois portugueses um Manuel e a ti que falas bem português beijinhos e abraços
Eu sou do Brasil, e adoro ver o sotaque português dela… portugueses são incríveis!❤

O português estava bom apenas com muito sotaque. É continuar a falar com portugueses

Can't believe you guys haven't made a composting bin to use on your land. Dont need to buy compost. Just make it from all kitchen scraps and grass. Anything organic, really
don’t think you have been watching from the start as that was one of our first projects. You can’t use compost right away, it needs to cure which takes minimum a year after filling it. Ours it’s not full yet.
