Can you imagine the impact it has and will have on his developing personality? He is already quite a little handyman 😀. Awwwww Tara, getting stuck had me it stitches. You are so brave to share it with us! This is why your vlogs are so popular, because you make us feel so part of everything. Thank you for that. I can not wait to see what you are going to do with that terrace. Actually everything!! Love love love your vlogs. From a wet South Africa 🇿🇦 😍

Hello John,Tara,Crusoe and Sawyer……thanks for a fun filled vlog this week…Tara being stuck in the mud obviously has to be the highlight! 😅. I know very little about permaculture and sympathise with you Tara with regard to destroying habitat,but my feeling is that once you have done the necessary clearing of the ground, it will allow for strong new growth of your planting for many years to come. Birds and wildlife have an abundance of habitat on your farm, so I’m sure they will just move to the next area and be happy. I look forward to learning with you as you go. Happy Sunday to you all. With best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊

@monikacarless_wordwitch Год назад

I also love that feeling of clearing land and creating the eco-systems that are right for the land. We took down some hedgerows full of brambles, and took care to do it before the birds started nesting. Brambles are such a safe spot for birds as they prevent cats and other predators from getting to them. But they also choke everything else out as well, growing over our apple trees that came with the house and garden we purchased last year. It's always finding that balance, I find. Your property is breathing a sigh of happiness with all the love you're showering it with.

@TheNewbys Год назад

You are quite right Monika, it is definitely about finding the balance. Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹

@martinethevenau69 Год назад

So much going on but so rewarding to see bushes and brambles cleared to make space for new growth. Just a joy to see Sawyer awake and engaging with the camera.

@larisajeffrey2312 Год назад

The size of the property you have, once you get it to a certain point you will need to consider an occasional landscaper just to keep up. You do need to consider your own time. There will only be so much of the daily chores that you will be able to keep up with. Never mind me, I remember the energy the two of us had, and still do, but not the heavy lifting anymore. That was a massive job well done. I love seeing your children. 🇨🇦🇱🇻🇬🇧

Hello Newbys!!! Of all the other vlogs out there I watched so far , yours is the one I love so much. The reason I love your channel is because of the way you live your life. I always sense joy, love, gladness, gratitude and hopefulness. That's one example of how one should live their lives in small or magnanimous scale. You learn from your mistakes and you apply the lessons today and your mistakes today will hopefully give lesson for tomorrow ; but you always live your life TODAY with all the goodness and frustrations in it and you always face it with love , kindness, joy , gratitude and hopefulness . I'm in my early 70s now and I lived my life the way you do and there is always TODAY. Thank you and may God's blessings shower your family ❣

Keep up the great work. I really do admire John's patients with Crusoe when he was putting the chipper together. Those moments that make wonderful memories. Cheers.

@Reet64 Год назад

What a lot of work! Things are really coming along thanks to some very industrious help and your own efforts. How sweet those two boys are! It was funny to see Crusoe trying to figure out the boots in the mud and having a chuckle. And Sawyer’s sweet little face looking at the camera!

@TheNewbys Год назад

They are getting cuter by the day Reet. Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️🇵🇹

@terrecisco2467 Год назад

I cannot imagine what it will look like, but I get more excited each week.

@TheNewbys Год назад

So do we Terre, stay tuned to find out! Thanks so much for watching friend 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹

@joanlyons2141 Год назад

Oh my gosh what a laugh I had watching you try to get out from the mud field and Cruseo’s attempt to pull out the empty boots. Loved watching the brambles being removed and hearing you talk of your vision to build your Portugal paradise! Exciting times ahead.

It would be nice to plant a four seasons lemon tree, so as to have lemons all year round and what I call autumn peaches. They are great to prepare them in syrup and for jam. The farm is looking great!!! Congrats

@TheNewbys Год назад

Oh yes we like the sound of that Marcela! We will have to try and find some. Thanks so much for watching friend 🍋❤️🇵🇹

@annaibarra3447 Год назад

How fun was this vlog, it was so satisfying to watch the all that vine limbs cleared to make room for a new start to the land. Oh all the wonderful new growth it will give the land. But also so cute but funny at Cursoe laughing at his Mommy’s wellies stuck in the mud. Thank you Tara, your such a good sport to share that moment. I’d be like “I’m dying, the earth is swallowing me up! Someone help me!” Very dramatic I’d be like! 😅😂. What a fun vlog this was! Thx

@isabelrafael2866 9 месяцев назад

Loving these videos of your start on your homestead in Portugal. Had such a laugh at Tara stuck in the vegetable garden. First planting in the veggie garden ... wellington boots. 😂😂😂

@tinahardy9361 Год назад

Another wonderful Sunday in Portugal. Man, the farm is looking sooo good. As always Crusoe and now Sawyer making me smile. Love my Sundays. Thank you for sharing!! Stay safe and see you in the next one!!!

@deidrespencer5467 Год назад

I loved your attitude, Tara, when you were stuck in the mud ... you (and John) laughed it off! Such a positive attitude will certainly rub off on your gorgeous boys. Your abandoned farm is taking shape beautifully. Great job you two! 👌😍

@TheNewbys Год назад

Thanks so much for watching Deidre ❤️❤️❤️

@busarob3679 11 месяцев назад

Ok you're right. I am binge watching your channel. I have not smiled or laughed at the funnies for years. I have been a sour puss walking around. I am truly happy watching your channel. My Opa in Germany was a Gardner and Crusoe makes me look back at the times I spent with my Opa in his gardens. Thank you Crusoe for being so sweet. You'll look back at yourself and remember those special moments.

@TheNewbys 11 месяцев назад

Yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure friend. We are so glad we could put a smile on your face! Stay tuned to find out what else we get up to! We post a new episode every Wednesday and Sunday ❤️😊🙏🏼🏡🇵🇹

Filling the bottom of the strawberry bed with old wood would help reduce anoint if soil required

@TheNewbys Год назад

Oh great idea Cathie, thanks so much for sharing 🍓❤️🇵🇹

@margaretmiles9204 Год назад

Began watching after you purchased this farm. Love every episode. Was gigling with Caruso, when he looked down at your boots stuck in the mud. I almost feel like I am going along with you in your daily life. So glad you are learning about permaculture. Best way to go to heal the land. Blessing on your little family!

@TheNewbys Год назад

Thank you Margaret! What a lovely comment to read. Thank you friend. we are having so much fun here on the farm. Great to have you joining us. 🙏🇵🇹🏡

@cindy-ml7vo Год назад

I'm having my morning coffee watching your videos. Nearly spat out my coffee watching Tara stuck in the mud. Laughing is a great start to the morning. Crusoe grunting, calling Joelle and mud giggles was too freaking cute.

@TheNewbys Год назад

😂 we are so glad you enjoyed the stuck in the mud situation as much as we did Cindy haha Thanks so much for watching friend, your support means the world to us ❤️🇵🇹

@cheriesharp234 Год назад

You are quite right Carmen! He does indeed. Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🙏🏼❤️

@debbiedusterhoft2870 Год назад

I totally agree to be accepted into a community is to become part of it and that includes if possible to hire out the jobs that would make your life easier and having your land being productive again as fast as you can by supporting the skills they have to offer. Oh my goodness I laughed so hard at the Newbys in the mud. Crusoe is having a wonderful time and will dream about tractors. I can’t believe how fast Sawyer is growing. I think you guys know how much I love seeing Crusoe and Sawyer and their parents are pretty special too. I never have words of wisdom on how to do things or have ideas but I still so enjoy watching what the family is up to. As always have a great week and take care.

@TheNewbys Год назад

We are so thankful that we are a part of such a helpful community Debbie, we constantly learn new things from them. Thank you for sharing such a lovely comment, it puts the biggest smile on our faces ❤️❤️❤️

@SJC49 Год назад

It would be wonderful if the boys could develop an informal ‘grandparents/cousin relationship with Joal and his family. They seem like lovely people!

@TheNewbys Год назад

They are lovely people friend, they are already like our Portuguese family ❤️❤️❤️

@srrfounder1 Год назад

Happy Sunday, Friends! Excellent idea to REMOVE the front yard over growth, it looks so much prettier!!! John, are you saying João or Joel? I have 4 brothers (José/João/Joel/Josquin) who are asking. I have my entire family from Madeira Island watching you now. Today they chuckled over Tara and Crusoe STUCK in the mud! I'm guessing it's a shared memory they had with our parents. I wasn't born when they were little helpers. They're 98 now. See you on Wednesday! ~Mikio ☺✌💚

@TheNewbys Год назад

Hello Mikio, always love hearing from you! We are saying João, our pronunciation might be a little off at times. We are so glad you all enjoyed this episode and especially the "stuck in the mud" moment! Thanks so much for watching friends, see you on Wednesday 😊🙏🏼❤️

Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer - and your wonderful Portuguese neighbors! This vlog, as always, was terrific! The best was, when you said goodbye, that I knew "next week" meant "next Wednesday"! Take good care of yourselves 'til then! Patricia

@TheNewbys Год назад

We are so glad you enjoyed this episode Patricia. Thanks so much for watching and for your support. See you on Wednesday 😊🙏🏼❤️

@annettesharrock1236 Год назад

I had to laugh at you Tara when you got stuck sorry but was funny😂 Then Crusoe sort of coping what mummy did 🤩. Lots of clearing done you have made some lovely friends in your community and as I have found out very helpful if you do not speak much of the language, but also I think that is how you learn the language by communicating with them you pick up words more easily. What a lovely use of recycling the ring for your strawberries. Birds will always find somewhere to go if some of the habitat is cleared and its not exactly is you are clearing all they will still be there. Its like with your clearing out with old and in with the new. Loved watching as normal . 😘

@TheNewbys Год назад

I am so glad you could laugh at me Annette, we also thoroughly enjoyed the "stuck in the mud" scenario haha being part of such an incredible and helpful community has definitely helped us settle in a lot easier and quicker. Thanks so much for watching friend, we will see you on Wednesday 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹

You’ve encouraged me with your commitment to running. I am joining my husband in exercising at the gym. Thank you for that.
