#8 Making our first winter in rural Italy beautiful 

Ciao! It was a challenging but very satisfying journey for us. As always we would love to know what are your impressions about this one. How is the winter in your place so far? Much love!

Fantastic, seeing everyone enjoying it, young and old.❤

The Christmas decorations all of you made were beautiful! 😊 Starting a community night was a fantastic idea! I hope others will help you keep them going. Many blessings in the new year! 🥰

Какие вы все молодцы! Прекрасные новогодние украшения!!! ❤

Holywood 😂❤ love your gentle, quiet vlogs. Jack loves you all very much😅

Your home and property look lovely. I wish you all a very blessed New Year 2024. May your dreams continue to come true. 🌺

Siete una famiglia fantastica ❤ Auguri di un sereno 2024 !

Wonderful video update again. Can't wait to buy a home in the Corvara area this year.

Happy New Year from Malta 😊..what a lovely community ...Jack is a sweetheart 🤗 love your homemade Christmas decorations ✌

Siete bellissime persone e fate cose che migliorano questo mondo e connessione tra uomo e natura + creare questi legami con le persone del paese è magnifico 😊❤👍

Great job with the Xmas decorations, so much better than bought ones. Love it.❤

You did really good decoration of Christmas! Bravi, bravi tutti! I like ideas you have to socialize with local people! Go on the same way, be good and loveeach other! ❤

A Happy New Year ❤ to all you good people from the UK

You are such hard workers! You've got lots of good things accomplished before the hollidays. It was very nice to be able to follow you living with the seasons... and some homemade decorations as a bonus! Very courageous that you started some community events(with succes)! Allso respect for the long vlog that must have been a tremendous work(nice pieces of music incorporated). Best wishes for you all for the new year. Since the 70-ties winters have been milder and milder here. Nowadays i am very very happy when some frost comes for or only one day of snow . I love good winters with a bite... so i sure miss them. Greetings from the Netherlands.

When you repair a crack it is best to clean out the loose items of the stucko and than first applying a layer of stucko and followed with a fiber mesh which will hold the crack from separating again, Than smooth out another layer or two , and it should not repeat cracking again. After you have completed this and allowed time to dry properly you can paint

Greetings from New Zealand,i love your Property…take good care of it 🎉❤

Hello. Just had to mention that the Christmas decorations, inside and outside, the snowman and the elves were so imaginative and beautiful. love the work your family is doing with the available resources from the land.

Missed seeing you guys!

Mama Marina is a great designer!

What a wonderful vlog. Truly love to watch how you all work together and create your home and property to be a beautiful, warm and welcoming place. The Christmas decorations are both fun and very decorative. You have a friendly and wonderful community with lots of fun together. Have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Bellissimi e bravissimi

Siete dei vicini fantastici ❤

Lovely. Really enjoyed this video.

Wspaniale mi się was oglądało! Pozdrawiam z Polski ❤

For 200 kg firewood to keep warm this winter ❤

Ah, great, your neighbours have one. Here you can get a much smaller one as well.

Good morning, I'm from Brazil and I'm rooting for you, I found your house on Google 🇧🇷

Holywood ...😅😅nice one

Just a quick comment re your firewood processing. When cutting smaller branches or even modest sized trunks, take the pruned wood you want to cut and place them in an organized pile, preferably across some cross laid larger branches or trunks. Then cut the pile together and save yourself a lot of wasted time and produce a lot more firewood with less work. And split your wood before stacking---it will dry a lot faster.

Love your channel. ❤

La signora Marina è bravissima nel lavoro manuale 👍 complimenti davvero 🌝

Your home-made Christmas decorations were just amazing!! You are all so talented 💗

🤩

Хотелось бы узнать ,как и чем зарабатываются доходы на жизнь...!

კომუნისტები ხართ? სამლოცველოში რა უნდა შეშას? 😢 შობასაც აღნიშნავთ ალბათ როგორც არა რელიგიურ დღესასწაულს... Вы что члены компартий? Кто хранит дров во малитвенной помещений?!

What a lovely story...you all are very gifted folks. Happy New Year!!!

What a fantastic night you organised. Well done and a great community.

A pneumatic log splitter is going to be the easiest way, not sure if it's available there, or what the cost would be. Will definitely be a great investment.👍

Wonderful episode ❤❤❤

Loved this!!! Team work is so enjoyable!! Congrats for the four of you!! 🥰

Beautiful and peaceful! Happy new year

Wonderful video! I love all of the Christmas decorations you made!

I was thrilled to see that Mama used that beautiful Coral-Peach coloured paint on the outside walls! I ❤❤❤that colour! Nice that you gathered up your wood for Winter and put it in a covered room, and protected the Citrus trees.😊 After doing a few more chores you are now prepared for Winter!👍

Such creative people. We are just going through a cold spell here in Northern British Columbia Canada. -32c All the best to you all in 2024!

Che bel video !!! Grazie infinite! Bellissimi gli incontri e le feste tra vicini mi ricordano i tempi che furono, ora gli incontri si sono ridotti purtroppo e mi sono commossa.Belli pure tutti i festoni naralizi che avete creato con tanta fantasia ed amore...mancava solo un piccolo presepe e sarebbe stato il top ! Grazie per tutto ciò che fate per il territorio e per la comunità vicino a voi. Vi auguro un inizio d anno super e ricco di tanta gioia vi meritate il meglio del meglio. Vi aspetto volentieri con un altro video mi date tanta serenità e speranza in tempi migliori.Vi abbraccio ed auguro a tutti tanta serenità e pace🌈❤

Looks like Jack feels very at home there with you.👍❤

❤❤❤какая у вас дружная семья -очень чисто убрали территорию в усадьбе и не традиционно приготовили снеговик и елку + игрушки 🎄

Well, at least check the wiring for reliability, and connect the electric convectors, they seem to have higher efficiency. Otherwise, one stove is not enough heat.

I love all your Christmas decorations. Happy New Year!

Good job, Mama Marina, on doing such a good job painting the house, looks great!

Buon anno ! Che bel video. Le decorazioni stupende nella loro semplicità e recupero! Un video pieno di serenità! Auguri di cuore per tutto!

The paint transforms the house, it looks wonderful.👍

Hello, you have done nice work around the house! I have wondered who is living there. We have house just under the camping site higher in the mountain. Next time when driving thru I'll stop and say hi!

İstanbul dan selamlar.Videolarinizi severek takip ediyorum.Yasadiginiz yer ve sizler harikasiniz ve çok çalışkansiniz.Özellikle annenizi kendime çok benzetiyorum.Bende çocuklarım için herşeyi yaparım.Hoşçakalin.

Очень интересно. Никогда не видела, чтобы блины так подавали. Попробую сделать. Спасибо. Molto interessante. Non ho mai visto i pancake serviti in questo modo. Proverò a farlo. Grazie.

Hello guys! We have binge watched your channel and looking forward to your next aventures. We noticed your last video is from last December and there’s no new videos. Please don’t stop posting! We loved the community gathering, your wife’s and mama Marina’s Christmas decorations. They are just so beautiful and artfully made! It’s a delight to watch you collaborate and work together. Many blessings. Hope to see your next video soon!

I love the colour of your house! Thank you for your videos, they are so nice, beautiful and with a very sweet humour too. Watching these videos is like a safe place to come (back) to while having coffee. I´m a bit curious what you did before moving to the house, to Italy? What is your background, why did you move? I wish you a good new year 2024 ❤

Your house and land is so beautiful, you have all worked so very hard,and accomplished so much in the short time you've been there. Congratulations, and a Happy New Year🎇🎉🍾😊😊👍💗💗

All your videos are very addictive. Watching you from the UK 💗💗💗

A lovely video thank you ! You are integrating really well and clearly making a real contribution to the community around you.

Oh my! 11 Euros for all that wood?! That same amount of wood would cost about $250.00 here in the United States. Beautiful home place!

Nice to see you guys again! Wonderful improvements! Beautiful decorations! Fantastic food! Great you have found many friends! I enjoyed this video! Thanks from Memphis, Tennessee!

May 2024 bring you many blessings. Loved all your Christmas decorations, nothing like homemade crafts ❤. Looking forward to your next posting.

Marina jest wspaniała. Kobieta wielu talentów. Bałwanek cudo😊. Wygląda, że zadomowiliście się już😊. Samych dobrych chwil w tym nowym roczku

I LOVE the decorations, the window with lights and pine cones is GREAT but the best are the logs cut at an angle with the red hats and white beards painted on :) :)

You all have created such a beautiful life in Italy. Watching your videos brings me so much peace and hope that one day I, too, will get to experience this quality of life.

I have never seen people who work so hard😮 and women too !! Fantastic❤

Your parents are amazing to help so much!🥰🇨🇦
