Hi, we are Harriet and Mauro and in February 2021 we bought an abandoned smallholding in Castellón, Spain. In these videos we share our life as we restore and improve our little stone house, learn to grow and preserve our own food, and bring our 4 acres of farmland back to productivity.

@@grubert3535 In the English language a title or name can also be shown in quotation marks. Sometimes it's used for showing that a brand or place name isn't the real thing. A car by Ford called a 'Mustang', for example, isn't a real Mustang (horse), it's car so one could put 'Mustang' in quotes. RU-vid is also a concept....it's not a tube, it's not you (or me), it's a brand, an imaginary concept...which someone, at some stage, invented as a name to represent a video sharing website.

I'm not sure where these feelings came from but I thought I'd share, and wish you well. This place looks incredible and I hope to do the same in the future.

It would have to be a pretty small garden XD according to studies in 2013 there is 1.407 billion hectares of arable land in the world...and there is currently 7.98 Billion People which would give each person 0.176 hectares of land. that would be 134.16 ft x 134.16 ft if we could give everyone a perfect square.

Es maravilloso ver tu crecimiento personal así como el familiar!!! Me hace muy feliz que estés aquí, compartiendo y disfrutando de nuestra diversidad que ya es la tuya y que seas tan respetuosa con tu entorno, natural y social. Se te ve feliz y, fíjate lo dudosa que estabas cuando dejaste tu trabajo y ahora estás segura de ti misma, desarrollando proyectos que ni imaginaste y cumpliendo metas. Me identifico con ese espíritu de lucha y de "vencer miedos" ya que, por mi trabajo, y también a nivel personal en mi casa (tuve que hacer y sigo haciendo mejoras yo misma), el saber que vas cumpliendo objetivos te hace más fuerte, te hace madurar y eso es lo que reflejas. El trabajo es bueno, te hace sentir bien y no hay que tener miedo a acostarse agotado porque al día siguiente tus fuerzas se recuperan, más aún cuando eres tan joven. Sigue así. Trabaja duro en tu casa porque es un reflejo de ti. Besos al gran Mauro!! Mauro, quiero ver un nuevo video tuyo ya!!! Besos a toda la familia.

Thank you so much. What a wonderful result you created in yr beautiful learning journey. I’m in my first year of developing our farm part time at this stage. I wish it were full time and will be one day . I adore the water systems the Portuguese and Spanish farms have, they are so practical and great swimming holes in summer too.🙏💕🇦🇺

Hi Harriet. You've done an amazingly wonderful amount of work/play and your home and garden have been transformed. Watching you inspired me to try a few new diy things in our own little home- some more successful than others! I'm looking forward to continuing to watch your journey unfold from afar.🌻🌱🥀

this is my absolute dream! my whole family is very sweet but they are the classic workaholic people who spend most of their time on their job and its heartbreaking to me to see how constantly stressed and fatigued they are. the only solace i see them get sometimes is when we spend time together in the garden we have outside of the city. recently ive been rethinking a lot and i have sort of decided for myself that im truly not made to follow into their footsteps and work a busy job inside all day, smack dab in the big city surrounded by people and problems 24/7. videos like this make me feel so warm and cozy inside :) i just know id love the challenge and the reward of having such a beautiful space to me and my partner. this video was amazing! you guys have achieved so much and i have so much respect for you, starting this journey on your own!

Bravo Harriet! I am so impressed! You are very resourceful. Moving into a shack on your own, without running water or any furniture, with thousands of items on your “to do” list, is a very brave thing to do. And look what you have achieved in such a short time! It’s wonderful! Many of us dream of doing such a thing but so few of us ever do it. I hope you both have a long and happy life there. Well done girl! 😊❤️🦘

Thank you! You say brave but really there was nothing more I would have liked to have done in the world haha.

@bedwenmoon8790 Год назад

Wow! Fair play to this incredible woman. Building a bathroom, doing all the plumbing herself and everything else!! Totally inspiring 🤩

@rozhill4837 Год назад

My first visit and have to say, you have done an amazing job, and it is beautiful that you have taken the option to know your land and all it provides for you. Don't be surprised if nature reaches out to you. It does communicate, answers prayers for rain. Protects your land and critters if harmful weather is coming. Don't think of prayers as religious. Talk to nature as a friend when asking it to protect...and provide. I suspect it has grown attached as it knows what you have accomplished. Spread your arms in love. It will in turn fill you with love. Can't beat it. Namaste.😏💕

I love your videos Harriet, they are really inspirational. Seeing your progress is just amazing. I love your can do spirit, when when the task is difficult, or something you have no experience in. I find it really encouraging. 😘❤️🙏🏻

@jennyjohnson9012 Год назад

Oh my gosh Harriet you've done so well. When you see it like this from the start it shows just how much you've done and I'm so full of admiration for you. You are truly inspiring! Your farm will be even more amazing in another year. Well done and I'm looking forward to see what the future holds. Love your gardening content, as I'm a gardener too with a garden and allotment. Take care and cant wait for the next vlog.

You tubers usually have one project they stretch out to twenty minutes. You put in forty projects. It was almost like time lapse photography. The metamorphosis was amazing.

Thanks for putting this video together; it is wonderful to watch your progress in your farmstead, and what turned out so far through of all the work you did. It is really most impressive!
