Bart. I think we all naturally slow down in the winter. You have had a hard few years both physically and mentally and you are obviously tired. Do what suits you best my friend. We will still be here enthusiastically waiting for when you post. Your nice new warm space came just in the nick of time. Recharge your batteries and rest the old bones. Stay safe and warm. See you in a month. Yeah man👊🏻
Thanks Burrough. Those old bones do need some rest :)) The warm space is just in time. I am just happy to spent a normal winter, cozy and warm and it looks like there will be some companion for the winter too. What else can one wish for? Greetings my friend. See you around!
It's been a joy following your hard work Bart. You've climbed a mountain creating this masterpiece, pethaps time to savour the view. Totally get it. Enjoy the holiday season, and revel in the view in 2025. ♥️🇨🇦
Ej, ej, ej ....Ciao Bartolome , che bello vederti tranquillo , contento delle tue idee , ed in pace con te stesso . Prima o poi bisogna dare la svolta nellle proprie abitudini . Casa fantastica , idee fantastiche , personaggio ancora più fantastico ....cosa vuoi di più? È vero .... sarà difficile a non vederti più cosi spesso , ma sarà ancora più divertente ad aspettare prossimo appuntamento per vedere come stai e vedere cosa hai combinato nel tuo bel Borgo .... Tieni il fuoco acceso ....buon proseguimento e a presto Ciao ...Marko
Thank you that we could journey with you at this tremendous task you have completed so beautifully. May you be blessed with visitors from all over the world who will also enrich your life.
Ich wünsche dir von Herzen alles Gute, wir würden uns aber sicher freuen wenn du von deinem Ausflug Toscana-Umbrien-Rom etwas postest! Dann kann ich sehen dass es dir gut geht 👍
Bartholome vous méritez vraiment de vous reposer, tout ce que vous avez réalisé est merveilleux. Pour vous détendre montrez-nous des vidéos de vos montagnes et vos villages en vous promenant. Vos premiers locataires seront heureux chez vous. Bon repos près du feu.❤👩🌾
Bonjour Cathy. Oui, je pense que ce serait amusant à faire aussi. Au lieu de mises à jour hebdomadaires, des vidéos de la région, des promenades, des voyages, des randonnées et bien plus encore. Je suis satisfait de la décision. Cela ressemble presque à une bénédiction. Salutations
Hallo Bart. Was Du in den letzten 4 Jahren geleistest hat muss Dir erst mal einer nachmachen. Das schaffen einige nicht in 10Jahren. Ich freue mich auf jedes Video von Dir, auch wenn es nur einmal im Monat ist. Du kannst froh sein, dass Du bei dieser Mammutarbeit, gesund geblieben bis. Du hast Dir diese Auszeit wirklich verdient.
Hallo Gerti. Das stimmt tatsächlich, was Sie sagen. Ich werde es mir ansehen und es genießen, denn es war eine kolossale Arbeit. Und es ist die richtige Entscheidung, einfach alles auf sich beruhen zu lassen. Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns wieder! Gruß
Ahhh, will be sad not to see regular updates from you - but if you feel like making some videos in the future, it would be good to see more about your garden/food forest. Have a great trip!
The music in the intro is lovely and it is so cute how the cat is your little shadow! Great drone shots too! Bart you really do need a rest....you have put your heart and soul into this project and it is now time to rest and get rejuvenated. To burnout isn't good so am glad that you are taking a break. If you can sent out a video now and then....that would be wonderful. I have watched you since day one but only want the best for you!! Keep healthy and have a wonderful break!!!
Thank you Jane. The cat is like a dog. Follows me everywhere, Day and night. It's quit funny. I enjoy his company. And yes. Quit a journey I have made so far. I just look forward to spending a normal winter in a clean and warm environment without thinking every day what to do next. So good decision. See you around! Greetings
Thanks. Yes. I thought so too. It has to become one .... all those social media outlets and messages. Something interesting for future guests too and lots about the food forest part, since I probably like that the best:)
Thanks Dave. Yeah sometimes it's good to take a step back and reassess what you want to do. For now it's also just a matter of resting and enjoying a winter and slow life in normal circumstances. Greetings
Guten Abend lieber Bartholome, Du hast recht. Nach jahrelanger harter Renovationsarbeit, braucht man eine Auszeit. Einfach mal eine Zeit lang Kraft tanken und sich viel Ruhe gönnen. Ab und zu was machen, was Freude macht und das Leben genießen. Dein Kater Miro ist Spezialist auf diesem Gebiet! 😄😂👍 Es ist so, die Gesundheit ist das Wichtigste! Ich wünsche Dir und Deiner Fellnase eine ganz schöne gemütliche, entspannte Zeit. Ich werde auf jeden Fall noch da sein, wenn Du später mal kurz hier vorbei schaust. Ich wünsche Dir das Beste! 👌 Eine frohe Adventszeit, frohe Weihnachtstage und beschauliche Festtage. Liebe Grüße, ciao, ciao Bea 🎄🥂🍾🎂
Danke Bea. Ja. Ich beobachte und lerne von der Katze Miro. Er weiß sehr gut, wie man sich ausruht und einfach nur faul herumsitzt :). Einen schönen Tag noch. Die erste Ferienwoche ist fast vorbei. Grüße, Bart
Loved the video today. All animals shed twice a year. Spring and fall. Even humans lose hair at those times. It is triggered by the hours of daylight becoming shorter or longer. I look forward to seeing your videos whenever you post them. Enjoy some rest.
Hey Bart! Could see this coming and hear it in your voice. At least we were able to see the best parts and great versatility in your work. Have a good rest and enjoy your self. Come and experience the New Zealand summer. Cheers, Phil.
Thanks Phil. On of the few places I haven't seen. New-Zealand. Sounds like a dream. Wonderful place from a far. Who knows. One day! Thanks and greetings!
Bart your channel is my favorite, and it’s the only one I comment on. You have always been realistic and hardworking so when you and Miro are ready to post, I’ll be waiting. Yeah Mon!
I really like watching your videos. 👏You worked very hard. It's healthy to take a break, rest, relax and enjoy life with friends and family. Good decision. All the best to you. 😊
Bart , I love your channel and look forward to each episode! Please take the time to recharge your batteries and promise you'll return. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
Thanks Terry. Will do. Just realized that it is the second Sunday without a video. But I continue working and my kitchen in the common area is finally installed. Making a nice Sunday roast now!
Hi Bart you need a good holiday away from the house. You have been working to hard hope its not burn out. Take your time to get back if you want to continue. Been a wonderful exciting journey with your building. Be safe and rest and enjoy your break. 😊🎉
Take the time to recover your health and enjoy the rest. Make a nice trip to the south. You named a lot of plans. When you are ready to show us the changes you made we will be happy to see them. Have a good time. See you.
Thanks Peter. Yep. I agree. Took off the day after. First week holiday. Feels like a blessing being away from it all. Family first .. later on I take that trip Southwards. Greetings
Gezien je jaar kan ik je keuze voor wat rust goed begrijpen. Het volgen van je verbouwing, die nu zo goed als af is, was super interessant. Wat je behaald hebt in zo’n korte periode is niet niks. Misschien moet je ook even terug waarom je dit allemaal wilde. En je focus verplaatsen straks naar de start van je ‘ bedrijf’. Daar zal je andere energie voor nodig hebben, en tussendoor kan je de kleinere klusjes afronden. En letterlijk afstand nemen, met je camper, klinkt als een strak plan. Nieuwe omgeving, nieuwe ideeën en dan straks verfrist terugkomen. Stiekem ben ik wel benieuwd naar de mooie plekken waar je heen denkt te gaan. Veel plezier met wat je ook gaat doen.
Hoi Jasper. Nou ik ben meteen de dag erna vertrokken. Eerst eens familie en vrienden. Heerlijk. Gewoon even weg zijn. Dan kun je ook niet aan het volgende denken. Bovendien is het nu ook wel in een fase waar ik gewoon het komende jaar mee vooruit kan, maar dat is ook weer een nieuwe wereld. Gasten vinden!! Opruimen, reorganiseren en dan wat kleine klussen. Eind december een trip zuidwaarts. Daar ga ik zeker een video van maken. Is wat anders, maar dat vind ik ook leuk. Groet en tot dan!
Bart after doing this huge renovation for the last 4 years you deserve to have a more quiet life and stand back and enjoy all that you have done.Will we miss the weekly vlog,for sure but this is your life and you do what you want and not to satisfy anyone else.Take care,look after your health and wellbeing and we’ll see you when next you post.All the best.
Thanks Roy. Well said. Appreciate that a lot. I will and hope to see you around on next update. Now I am off and away for a week plus. Feels good not having to see and think what to do next. Greetings
Bart, thanks for all the wonderful videos you have made over the years. It was great to get your weekly updates. I totally agree with everything you said in your video. I dont know anyone who deserves it more than you to have downtime and me time. Winter is for introspection and reflection, for resting the body, mind and soul. You seem a little burnt out. Enjoy everything this world has to offer. Take care for now, let me know if you ever fancy a trip to Spain🥰🥰🥰 if you plan to do a video about wine then also perhaps the local cuisine in your area would be interesting.
Thanks Vivienne. A trip down the coast towards Spain could be an option. I have been reading a lot about the Alhambra lately. Interesting techniques for water conservation and distribution. Beautiful architecture and I haven't been to Madrid yet. Anyway. A bit of a relax first and then we will see. See you around! Greetings
I think you should make videos on your travel that you’re saying that you’re going to go to north of Italy and end up in Rome that would be very interesting to see the sites and adventures in each place. I think you have accomplished many things during these couple years and you should be proud of yourself. I was wondering, are you going to cover your pool for the winter to protect it from cold weather. I agree all of us should take care of our physical being and do the things that make us happy. Take care.
Hi. Good idea. And about the pool. Thought about covering but it may not be neccessary. Not sure yet. Does get dirty when left uncovered. But that can be cleaned. See you around
you and your episodes always made my day, so I will of course miss you…and Miro… but most important is: you… enjoy whatever, stammi bene e grazie di cuore, un abbraccio dal lago di Zurigo😊
Thanks Sonia. I took off the day after so I am enjoying a bit of family time and having a rest. Getting away from it all is a good start. Greetings Bart
You need to take care of yourself enjoy the place that you’ve created or travel especially going into these winter months. If you do some traveling, it would be nice to see the places that you’re traveling to not encroaching on your vacation, but just giving an overview of the places. I would be interested in your terraces of your food garden. As far as videos do with suits you. If you wanna do one every other week or one a month. Do what suits you. Your kitty sure does like love you! He has found his jackpot! Thank you Bart❤
Thanks J. I think I will travel Southwards after Christmas and thought of making a video for sure. There are beautiful places on the journey. And yes I just realized it's the second Sunday without a video. But my kitchen is working and I am preparing a wonderful roast for today. Greetings
Enjoy your break Bart, enjoy life, recharge your batteries, think about new projects there or elsewhere.. will definitely miss you, but will be happy to see what you are going to be up too, take care Cheers from Brittany France
Thank you Claudine. The projects will be around the Borgo. Just really felt like taking some distance and letting go of some pressure. It always does a person well. Hope to see you around later! Greetings
I feel that getting your unique eco tourism venture onto a firm footing is the best way to recover all your expenditure. Have hit the Bell .Yes I will follow you on all your treks. Comb him every day..de-stress him👍❤
Hi Anna. That's it. Exactly. And than take it from there. Love to hear from you again. See what the new year brings. Jamaica is on the options list! :)
Enjoy the time off and recharge your batteries. It's been quiet a ride with your project! Your thoughts about project-based videos which will show the progress sounds great!
Thabks Florian. Yeah will see. I am enjoying some time off. First week without thinking about thwe next episode and next job. Feels good. See you around later! Ciao
Thanks Lucas. Yes. Just taking some distance also helps with recharging, but most of all I need some rest and so I am on my first week off and away from the property. Greetings. PS: Cat comes along. Big adventure. Not like a dog
Bartholome, selfishly, I’m saddened that I won’t have the opportunity to view your vlog weekly. I’ve looked forward to each and every one. However, I support you in your decision to take time for yourself, to rest, to travel, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You have worked so hard and need to take care of yourself (and do what brings you joy). I would enjoy seeing vlogs regarding the progress you are making on the projects you have identified for yourself, particularly those pertaining to gardening. I wish you the best and will stay in touch. Alla prossima!
Thanks Virginia. Yeah I get that about the weekly vlogs. I will do updates on the projects I talked about but the whole pace can be slower and less frequent. I think that way I will actually enjoy it more. I wasn't enjoying it anymore and I think this is a crucial factor in whatever we do. Greetings
I’ve watched every instalment from the beginning of the channel and always look forwards to your update but you’ve got to do what’s right for yourself at the end of the day. It’s great that you'll still be updating from time to time, and a different format and subject matter will be interesting and you’ll probably find it more satisfying yourself too. Have a good trip and a slower winter and enjoy some Bart time! Can’t wait for the update 😅
Thanks Simon. That's nice to hear. Sometimes I watch some of the old video's. I do think I got better in editing but it is funny to see them. Nice to hear from the ones who were there from the start! Greetings
Bonjour Bart vous avez encore de belles idées en perspective c'est très plaisant de vous écouter et de vous regarder pour une fois sans travailler à caressé votre miro je vous souhaite de passer de belles semaines de vacances cela va sûrement vous faire un très grand bien voilà en espérant revoir une vidéo un peu avant Noël comme vous l'avez précisé à bientôt Bart bisous 😚
Beste Bart, het lijkt mij een heel goed idee om meer tijd voor jezelf te nemen! Neem een heeel lange tijd vrij en ga erop uit! Mix and Mingle, wie weet wie je tegen komt, samen op de berg is gezelliger. Ik hoop dat je een house-sitter hebt als je weg bent aangezien het wel Italie is😉. Heel veel rust en geluk toegewenst! Tot de volgende vlog! (Ik ga alle oude vlogs nog een keer bekijken, erg leerzaam en leuk!) Subjects for coming vlogs; daily life at the borgo and beyond.
Hoi Marianne. Jawel dat is zo. En er zijn al veranderingen in de lucht :) Het wordt een gezellige winter. Kan ook eindelijk een beetje. Altijd maar aan de gang gaan en overal stof en vuil. Je wordt er op een gegeven moment moe van. Nu even weg. Familie en vrienden tijd. Dan eens lekker alles opruimen en reorganiseren en dan pas een nieuw projectje oppakken. Klinkt mij als muziek in de oren. Lieve groeten!
@@borgopoggiodeifiori Geniet van de gezellige winter en vooral geen projectjes, even wat maanden rust, gezelligheid en relaxen, koester jezelf en koester anderen. 🌷
Thank you for several years of wonderful videos. Take time to recharge your batteries. I would enjoy hearing your thought process and planning for the food forest and flower garden. I would also love a travel video if you go in the camper van. I don't know that I will get to Italy, so seeing it through your eyes would be grand. Again, thank you for all you shared. You don't owe us an explanation.
Thanks Peggy. I agree. And yes. I would like to make video's for fun in the future. So visiting places and walking trips and hikes. Hope to be able to expand that food forest and flower garden. Will depend a bit on the weather. But else It will be a bit later in the new year. Greetings!
@@borgopoggiodeifiori That is just awesome. Have a wonderful trip! FYI, I adopted a young outdoor cat while living in Germany many years ago. His name was Bandit and I walked him on a leash with a dog halter. He loved it. I would see neighbors curtains moving as I walked by. I got a kick out of that.
Good luck in whatever you do and we will be waiting for your new episodes whenever you upload them. We will just miss our weekly meeting. Happy New Year with health (the most common wish we say in Greece).😉
Miro really loves you. Your mind is working on overtime. You need time to separate yourself from your thoughts. I wish you rest, enjoyment fir the coming months si you can refresh your life. You worked really hard to reach this point. Peace to you. Will miss you. Hope to see you on YT when you choose to come back. P S. Has your son's wedding happened?
Thank you Silvia. Yeah Miro is a caracter but he does seem to like me :) I took of the day after so being away from the property feels like a blessing. Some family time. Wedding is next year springtime. Greetings and see you around later
Dank je wel Niels. Yep. En als je dan zo meteen de dag erna vertrekt en even helemaal niets doet behalve wat eten, drinken en vrienden en familie bezoeken, dan weet je dat het goed is zo! Groet
Hi Nikolay. Place can be booked. I am having guests. For the future. If I get to execute all plans and projects I guess I will need another 4-5 years. That's the thing here. There is always something to do still. Greetings
A haitus is good for the soul. It is good to recharge your batteries by indulging in things other than work, work, work. Take some time and we will be here when you return. Relax, you deserve it.
Yes Karen. Thank you. Just waking up with the thought that you don't have to do anything, feels like a blessing. Video's actually helped me start up most of the days, but now I will just rest, enjoy the work, surroundings and your interests and ideas are nice subjects for video's! Greetings and see you later
Sounds like you're a little burnt out... I get that. I did a much smaller renovation and it's def exhausting, and increasingly so as time goes on. Just take a break and do whatever you want, you don't have to have everything figured out. Just make it up as you go. I think you could do timelapses of the work in progress, that's always so fun to watch. Can be 2min shorts 5mins, no narration just music. Or gardening videos. Road trip videos.doesnt matter really. Or perhaps nothing at all? Just follow your heart man.... ✌️
Ive been following since the beginning of your renovations..did a fantastic job ..but if i may make an observation .it appears you have no one to share it all with.being alone gets us down at a certain age or maybe thats what you like...holidays can do wonders...best of luck with whatever you do.👍
Thanks Nevis. I know but change is in the air I can already tell you :) Time away does wonders. When you are at the location all the time a day without doing anything feels bad, so I took off. First week now. Good feeling. Good decision. Later on will have someone coming for quit some time. Exiting. Greetings. Liguria right?
Bart. I think we all naturally slow down in the winter. You have had a hard few years both physically and mentally and you are obviously tired. Do what suits you best my friend. We will still be here enthusiastically waiting for when you post. Your nice new warm space came just in the nick of time. Recharge your batteries and rest the old bones. Stay safe and warm. See you in a month. Yeah man👊🏻
Thanks Burrough. Those old bones do need some rest :)) The warm space is just in time. I am just happy to spent a normal winter, cozy and warm and it looks like there will be some companion for the winter too. What else can one wish for? Greetings my friend. See you around!
It's been a joy following your hard work Bart. You've climbed a mountain creating this masterpiece, pethaps time to savour the view. Totally get it.
Enjoy the holiday season, and revel in the view in 2025.
♥️🇨🇦
Thank you. Hope to see around before Christmas. Still pushing some work here
ciao! alla prossima 😊

All the best for the future. Hopefully, you will post every now and then love what you do. You are a very talented man ❤
Thanks Mary. Nice to hear and read such comments. Will do. See you around. Greetings

Thank you Zyla. I am looking forward to that episode in life :) Greetings
Ich wünsche dir von Herzen alles Gute, wir würden uns aber sicher freuen wenn du von deinem Ausflug Toscana-Umbrien-Rom etwas postest! Dann kann ich sehen dass es dir gut geht 👍

I think at some time we all get to this point in our later lives. It's been great watching and following your journey - look after yourself !
Thanks Sonia. I took off the day after so I am enjoying a bit of family time and having a rest. Getting away from it all is a good start. Greetings Bart
Yes, I agree with everything you said. you have to slow down sometimes and do something fun.
Thank you Miss T. I do and don't forget to have fun in what you do. It the fun leaves the door, everything feels twice as hard. Greetings
You need to take care of yourself enjoy the place that you’ve created or travel especially going into these winter months.
If you do some traveling, it would be nice to see the places that you’re traveling to not encroaching on your vacation, but just giving an overview of the places. I would be interested in your terraces of your food garden. As far as videos do with suits you. If you wanna do one every other week or one a month. Do what suits you.
Your kitty sure does like love you! He has found his jackpot!
Thank you Bart❤
Thanks J. I think I will travel Southwards after Christmas and thought of making a video for sure. There are beautiful places on the journey. And yes I just realized it's the second Sunday without a video. But my kitchen is working and I am preparing a wonderful roast for today. Greetings
Enjoy your break Bart, enjoy life, recharge your batteries, think about new projects there or elsewhere.. will definitely miss you, but will be happy to see what you are going to be up too, take care
Cheers from Brittany France
Thank you Claudine. The projects will be around the Borgo. Just really felt like taking some distance and letting go of some pressure. It always does a person well. Hope to see you around later! Greetings
@borgopoggiodeifiori Grazie mille Bart. Merci beaucoup and I will definitely be on the lookout for any publication from you. Take care 😉😃
I feel that getting your unique eco tourism venture onto a firm footing is the best way to recover all your expenditure. Have hit the Bell .Yes I will follow you on all your treks. Comb him every day..de-stress him👍❤
Hi Anna. That's it. Exactly. And than take it from there. Love to hear from you again. See what the new year brings. Jamaica is on the options list! :)
You need to do what u feel is right for u❤
Thanks Kay. Simple as that! Greetings
Wishing you all the best for the future Bart but sorry to see you go. Come back soon.❤
Thanks Heather. I will come back. Recharged and with some fresh ideas. Enjoying the time off in earnest. Greetings
Enjoy the time off and recharge your batteries. It's been quiet a ride with your project! Your thoughts about project-based videos which will show the progress sounds great!
Thabks Florian. Yeah will see. I am enjoying some time off. First week without thinking about thwe next episode and next job. Feels good. See you around later! Ciao
You are totally right
So cute, your cat.
Thanks Lucas. Yes. Just taking some distance also helps with recharging, but most of all I need some rest and so I am on my first week off and away from the property. Greetings. PS: Cat comes along. Big adventure. Not like a dog
I think we- as viewers of your channel- all know that that choise is so necessary to recharge your batteries after all your work till now on
Thanks! Much appreciated
Bartholome, selfishly, I’m saddened that I won’t have the opportunity to view your vlog weekly. I’ve looked forward to each and every one. However, I support you in your decision to take time for yourself, to rest, to travel, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You have worked so hard and need to take care of yourself (and do what brings you joy). I would enjoy seeing vlogs regarding the progress you are making on the projects you have identified for yourself, particularly those pertaining to gardening. I wish you the best and will stay in touch. Alla prossima!
Thanks Virginia. Yeah I get that about the weekly vlogs. I will do updates on the projects I talked about but the whole pace can be slower and less frequent. I think that way I will actually enjoy it more. I wasn't enjoying it anymore and I think this is a crucial factor in whatever we do. Greetings
I’ve watched every instalment from the beginning of the channel and always look forwards to your update but you’ve got to do what’s right for yourself at the end of the day. It’s great that you'll still be updating from time to time, and a different format and subject matter will be interesting and you’ll probably find it more satisfying yourself too. Have a good trip and a slower winter and enjoy some Bart time! Can’t wait for the update 😅
Thanks Simon. That's nice to hear. Sometimes I watch some of the old video's. I do think I got better in editing but it is funny to see them. Nice to hear from the ones who were there from the start! Greetings
Some TH-camr only do monthly updates, that is fine. Do what suites your lifestyle best. Wish you the best.
Hi Jan Du. That to me sounds liek an excellent plan. Something that fits better with the lifestyle. You have said that right! Greetings
Hi Barth...listening to all your plans...much work in the future...Will look forward to anything you have to post💚🖤💛🇯🇲🐈
Thank you :))
Ti perdoniamo ! 😅
Riposo meritatissimo , ti ringrazio per i video sempre puntuali e interessanti.
Sapremo aspettare, ne vale sempre la pena .
Ciao
Oh grazie. Sembra una benedizione! :)) Spero di rivederti Dani, quando avrò un aggiornamento. Ciao
Bonjour Bart vous avez encore de belles idées en perspective c'est très plaisant de vous écouter et de vous regarder pour une fois sans travailler à caressé votre miro je vous souhaite de passer de belles semaines de vacances cela va sûrement vous faire un très grand bien voilà en espérant revoir une vidéo un peu avant Noël comme vous l'avez précisé à bientôt Bart bisous 😚
Merci Françoise. Oui. Le cadre était bon. Une conversation près du poêle à bois. Je vois l’hiver passer bientôt. Jusqu'au prochain. Salutations
❤🎉
Thank you Laura.
Beste Bart, het lijkt mij een heel goed idee om meer tijd voor jezelf te nemen! Neem een heeel lange tijd vrij en ga erop uit! Mix and Mingle, wie weet wie je tegen komt, samen op de berg is gezelliger. Ik hoop dat je een house-sitter hebt als je weg bent aangezien het wel Italie is😉. Heel veel rust en geluk toegewenst! Tot de volgende vlog! (Ik ga alle oude vlogs nog een keer bekijken, erg leerzaam en leuk!) Subjects for coming vlogs; daily life at the borgo and beyond.
Hoi Marianne. Jawel dat is zo. En er zijn al veranderingen in de lucht :) Het wordt een gezellige winter. Kan ook eindelijk een beetje. Altijd maar aan de gang gaan en overal stof en vuil. Je wordt er op een gegeven moment moe van. Nu even weg. Familie en vrienden tijd. Dan eens lekker alles opruimen en reorganiseren en dan pas een nieuw projectje oppakken. Klinkt mij als muziek in de oren. Lieve groeten!
@@borgopoggiodeifiori Geniet van de gezellige winter en vooral geen projectjes, even wat maanden rust, gezelligheid en relaxen, koester jezelf en koester anderen. 🌷
Thank you for several years of wonderful videos. Take time to recharge your batteries. I would enjoy hearing your thought process and planning for the food forest and flower garden. I would also love a travel video if you go in the camper van. I don't know that I will get to Italy, so seeing it through your eyes would be grand. Again, thank you for all you shared. You don't owe us an explanation.
Thanks Peggy. I agree. And yes. I would like to make video's for fun in the future. So visiting places and walking trips and hikes. Hope to be able to expand that food forest and flower garden. Will depend a bit on the weather. But else It will be a bit later in the new year. Greetings!
Tolles Video, entscheide du ganz für dich, was am besten ist. Vielen Dank dafür und einen schönen Gruß aus Deutschland vom Bodensee 😊
Danke Hayo! Schön zu hören!
I have been enjoying your posts. What are your plans for keeping your sweet kitty safe while you are away?
Hi Mary. Well he is coming with me on adventure! There are few other options :)
@@borgopoggiodeifiori That is just awesome. Have a wonderful trip! FYI, I adopted a young outdoor cat while living in Germany many years ago. His name was Bandit and I walked him on a leash with a dog halter. He loved it. I would see neighbors curtains moving as I walked by. I got a kick out of that.
Maybe another segment about the cuisine that is available in your area?
Yeah possibly. Either me cooking or just visiting and tasting restaurant meals in the neighborhood! Greetings
Best of luck.
Thank you Mervyn!
Good luck in whatever you do and we will be waiting for your new episodes whenever you upload them. We will just miss our weekly meeting. Happy New Year with health (the most common wish we say in Greece).😉
Thank you! I appreciate that. Will be seeing you around later on. Greetings
Miro really loves you. Your mind is working on overtime. You need time to separate yourself from your thoughts. I wish you rest, enjoyment fir the coming months si you can refresh your life. You worked really hard to reach this point. Peace to you. Will miss you. Hope to see you on YT when you choose to come back. P S. Has your son's wedding happened?
Thank you Silvia. Yeah Miro is a caracter but he does seem to like me :) I took of the day after so being away from the property feels like a blessing. Some family time. Wedding is next year springtime. Greetings and see you around later
Bart, geniet van je vakantie ! Ik snap het helemaal !!
Dank je wel Niels. Yep. En als je dan zo meteen de dag erna vertrekt en even helemaal niets doet behalve wat eten, drinken en vrienden en familie bezoeken, dan weet je dat het goed is zo! Groet
So,please tell us when are you going to finish your project and when will the hotel start working? Thanks...
Hi Nikolay. Place can be booked. I am having guests. For the future. If I get to execute all plans and projects I guess I will need another 4-5 years. That's the thing here. There is always something to do still. Greetings
THANKS A LOT. I WILL KEEP IT IN MIND. BYE
A haitus is good for the soul. It is good to recharge your batteries by indulging in things other than work, work, work. Take some time and we will be here when you return. Relax, you deserve it.
Interest....gardening, entertaining, wine tasting, general home care such as organization
Yes Karen. Thank you. Just waking up with the thought that you don't have to do anything, feels like a blessing. Video's actually helped me start up most of the days, but now I will just rest, enjoy the work, surroundings and your interests and ideas are nice subjects for video's! Greetings and see you later
Sounds like you're a little burnt out... I get that. I did a much smaller renovation and it's def exhausting, and increasingly so as time goes on.
Just take a break and do whatever you want, you don't have to have everything figured out. Just make it up as you go.
I think you could do timelapses of the work in progress, that's always so fun to watch. Can be 2min shorts 5mins, no narration just music. Or gardening videos. Road trip videos.doesnt matter really. Or perhaps nothing at all?
Just follow your heart man.... ✌️
Thanks Man! Good suggestions. Especially the last one! Peace!
Ive been following since the beginning of your renovations..did a fantastic job ..but if i may make an observation .it appears you have no one to share it all with.being alone gets us down at a certain age or maybe thats what you like...holidays can do wonders...best of luck with whatever you do.👍
Thanks Nevis. I know but change is in the air I can already tell you :) Time away does wonders. When you are at the location all the time a day without doing anything feels bad, so I took off. First week now. Good feeling. Good decision. Later on will have someone coming for quit some time. Exiting. Greetings. Liguria right?
@borgopoggiodeifiori yes genova ...im scottish been here since 81...
Such romantic music, I thought maybe you invited a woman over and we were all gonna watch her dive into the pool in her micro bikini
HiHiHi well who knows I may just surprise you one day soon :)) Greetings
