Our Story:
We are Carissa, Iwan & Frankie the sausage dog, and in 2020 decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month we were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call home. We picked up Albi, Joao and Simao the cats along the way, as well as Diogo the podengo and a flock of chickens.
Subscribe to follow our project 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.

Pausing at 11:26. I think because of your sloping driveway, where you are digging now, you should put metal grates there, at grid, to collect water away, so rain doesn't wash away the rest of the new driveway extension. Not sure I'm using correct terminology. But I hope you understand what I mean. Like an across the driveway area, that is grated to catch water and keep it away from drive way bottom? I don't know😂 Ask Nick what he thinks!

Hey Y'all!! Your place is really taking shape. I love the stone driveway, Nick is a great guy. And the bathroom, I like what your doing. Oh, I agree with the Australian lady, wear hats! I'll send you 2 from Alabama if you like. I've had skin cancer develop on my Dad, his Dad and my Mothers Mom. I started wearing a hat (well I was 22, but I was in the Navy). Buy the time I had gotten out they had all had the cancer. My Dad even had it on his ear(yes, part was cut off) his neck, big scar there. His back, yes places taken. The worst was his chest, the spot was approximately 10 inches in circumference. Well, living in the south and back then, guys didn't wear shirts outside! Just looking out for your health. I figured if I explained about my family history, it may make a bigger impact. So forgive me if it offended you. ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹👣☘🤗

I'm allergic to extreme heat (self-diagnosed) so I only garden etc very early in the morning or early evening. My neighbors are not happy when I do the strimming early in the morning. Since they mow their lawns early in the morning, they have no room to complain! Lol. Do you have any neighbors with goats? They'll eat down all your grass, brambles, and anything else edible. Guard the veggies! I'm glad you're better. Flu always makes me feel like I've been beaten by a stick! A very large stick!!!! I usually tell my family to leave me alone for three days, then call me. If I answer, I've recovered. If not....🤷 So far, I've always recovered. Hooray! The driveway looks good! Nice job. Isn't it lovely to have an Uncle Nick? I asked if he'd come to my house...no response. I'll take that as a firm "no" shall I? Is that Diana Ross you're playing? That's an oldie.

I am sitting here in Queensland Australia laughing when you say its hot. We get the same thing from people who come from our cooler states down south and move to our state for the hotter weather then they whine all the time about it being too hot and humid for them. I love the hot humid weather but it’s something you need to be born in to really appreciate it. I would never move south for the cooler weather because I hate the cold. I think the secret is that when you are working you always keep drinking water that cools down your body temperature. We also carry special cloths you can get now that when you wet them you shake them and it makes them cold. Just the thing to have around your neck. From Australia
