We're loving that as the weather is cooling down we're able to get lots of jobs done on the homestead, from working on our tiny home, improving the kitchen and cabin, upgrades starting on the chicken coop and of course lots of gardening and chopping wood for the log burner.
If you'd like to support our project then we'd be so grateful if you bought us a 'Kofi" (which will go towards our latest project, whether building the house or working the land): ko-fi.com/frankieontheroad

Carissa, Iwan & Frankie decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month they were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call their new home. We picked up Albi the cat along the way. Subscribe to follow our journey as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.

Ewan - when you are bending to do your various job please continue to release your ankles, knees and hips but, you are shortening in the sternum and loosing the length and strength in your back. Your neck needs to release forward, not shorten. I know from previous videos your back is a problem for you. Your rock climbing and general fitness has probably saved you too serious damage thus far. Alexander Technique teacher watching your journey from Australia. Good on you and your little family showing us a very special way of life. Love your music too.

To identify for camomile : "Clip a small amount of foliage or blossoms from a camomile plant and gently crush the plant parts between your fingers. Smell the scent that wafts up from the crushed foliage. If it smells faintly fruity, like apples or pineapples, you likely have a camomile plant in your hands".

Love your new addition to the family! ❤️There are plenty of Portuguese names despite the law limiting what you can name your child; so no Tuesday's, North or Moonlight Diezel children in 🇵🇹, and that's to protect the emotional well being of the child in future. The reason why there are so many João's, Manuel's or Maria's is because many parents want their kids named after parents or grandad's names, which is an honor, but believe me, no lack of Portuguese names to be had. I love the following: Chico, (Short for Francisco) Nené, Tobias, Romeu, Sancho (very regal name) Jaime, Mendo & Viriato (deeply historical names) Gaspar, Sebastião, Jeremias, Lino, Uriel, Tito, Lino, Ari. 😘

What a great stove. My kids just bought a house in Florida that they are fixing up and it had been a rental house for 15 years so it had beat up appliances, especially the refrigerator. We gave them a gift of money to buy a new one, but my daughter is thrifty and managed to find bargains on a new stove, microwave and refrigerator for the money. I'm glad someone helped you.

It's so nice to have a new oven. It will be a bit of game changer in the kitchen. Now one day you will be able to preserve some of your garden produce. A pressure canner/water bath will be needed. The new kitty is so sweet! I think Bento is a good name. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

For your new member of the furry family how about Julio, Portuguese name meaning 'soft haired' & 'youthful'. Tomas is nice as well, means 'twin'. Enjoyed the video, I've just been installing our new cooker too, not as swish as yours. You'll be able to cook much more variety of foods, so kind of someone to help you like that.

Wow, that really is a corker of a cooker! Thank you to the generous donor from the rest of us. I burst out laughing three times - the hen 'mansion' comment, the wooden bridge breaking under the weight of the full wheelbarrow (schadenfreude, sorry!) and the most important oven glove hook! I really liked Iwan's idea of having all cats called João, that would be quite amusing, but then I remembered reading that the boxer George Forman called his 5 sons George Forman. I thought it was daft - but that thought may only apply to humans, not animals. What a strange policy Portugal has re naming children! There must be historical reasons for that. (Great to see the electric chainsaw!!)

We have a bottle gas stove. We just use matches to light the burners and our oven has a little hole in the base at the front so you can see when it is lit so we put a match to this little hole and it lites every time, just in case your power is low ever you can use matches. Enjoy your new oven, I think I will make some flapjacks today too you reminded me we haven't had any in ages.

How to identify. As a member of the daisy family, Chamomile is a composite flower so has a daisy-like, disc-shaped flower head that consists of lots of tiny flowers in the form of disc florets (the yellow 'centre') and ray florets (the white 'petals'). Its leaves are small, feathery and much-divided.For example, many daisy plants have multiple rows of thin white petals, while chamomile plants have a single layer of petals, also in white. Additionally, most daisies, especially common daisies, do not have leaves on their stems, while chamomile has very thin and spindly leaves on their stems. i hope this helps some.

New cooker (oven/stove) looks lovely & will surely make life better. Worried me how close you put the oven glove to the stove element, would hate to see it catch on fire. Love your new fur-family member! ❤ I thought picking a Portuguese name good, so googled to explore & was surprised to find out that some names are illegal (when naming your children) & the importance of community respect keeping to traditional names. So I vote for Tomas (pronounced toe-MAHS) or so my Google research said… Enjoy your baking. 🍞🥖🧁🥮👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
