If you want to learn about prints DrLoriV on YT can be very helpful. She can help with pricing, where to sign, in pencil and number…Limited runs, etc. you can get an idea of how many to have a printer-print-by the comments. Size also a factor in pricing. Tube ship, so simple! You have had so many gorgeous floral shots and so many from your travels. Good luck!🍀

I started watching you when you had about 2000 followers, interested in your van build and van travels. I have remained loyal to watching your lovely family and channel grow and have enjoyed all your moments of being adventurous, brave and thinking big 😊 Having been off sick with Covid for the past week, it's been the perfect opportunity to revisit your older videos. How lovely to see how far you have come, all over again. To anyone new to the Newbys, or have only seen their Portugal adventures, I encourage you to go back in time to watch times past and glimpse how far they have come on a wonderful lifes journey of adventure and memory making. Today I rewatched when the Jits into the Sunset visited and you made the wine lamps. I see them in the background from time to time, so lovely to be reminded how they came to be. Yesterday, I watched you travel with Crusoe to find his namesakes memorial in London. It made we wonder, will there be a time you similarly travel to Conneticut to show Saywer where his name came from ? Long time follower, Ann from Australia

Hello, Newbyes. I am from Brazil, and I have been following your channel for some time now. I am very interested in rural life because I am an agricultural engineer, so I always enjoy following you. But what I would like to say is that what makes me follow you is the connection between the two of you as a couple, what you show us through the videos, as a family, as a father, as a mother, and the freedom you want to give your children. I want to say that you are two people capable of changing the bubble, changing the environment in which you spread your message. I take every opportunity to make this somehow rewarding for my life. Finding you, finding your channel was really very rewarding. You are an inspiration; you are two wonderful people and parents-keep being who you are. And I sincerely hope that one day we can shake hands. A big hug to both of you, and keep going with your project-there will be days of struggle and days of glory, but let many people, like myself, continue to watch your videos. A big HUG.

I saw a bed/couch in a living room that was double bed shaped with a trundle and had a mattress on top .it was covered in loose a fiitted upholstery material, It had cushions so one could lean and lounge around on. Would be excellent for boys in winter to play on instead of floor and at night adults grab a Donna and pillows from trundle and slept on it, turning it back to a couch in the morning, more comfortable than a fold up bed and more useful.

What a wonderful episode the stone house is looking amazing that window view is so beautiful you could have painted it. John is making a lovely kitchen can’t wait to see what it looks like when it is completed.❤️❤️

Your room looks lovely and what a spectacular view you have. ❤ Perfect colour choice for the walls and love the fact that you have white awindow frames. 😊

We like the colour you chose. Yes a thin piece of oak trim along the top of the wall makes it look that much nicer. And looking out the window at the other house, makes it look like a beautiful picture postcard on the wall. It's a great look.

Love, love, love the added wood along the ceiling walls. You both have great eyes for detail and color.

The whole project is a little masterpiece. Thankyou for sharing it with us. Did you know that you can get double bed double bunks? Maybe that could be the answer to getting the boys out of your bed and into their own space. Perhaps, as a special treat, the boys could sleep in a little tent in the lounge area on weekends? ❤🌈🏡
