In this episode I discuss what happened in the last month, and why I haven't posted any videos. I had news from my family in South Africa that stopped my life in it's tracks. I left the farm in hope of finding some comfort and relaxation in Lisbon - but life had other plans for that too! And lastly I finally got my well water tested - and was shocked to my core at the results!

About Girl Meets Farm:
I'm Christine, a South African expat now living in Portugal.
This is my adventure as a solo expat on a farm in Central Portugal with my two fur-kids, Shakti & Shiva.
I've never owned or lived on a farm, but moved to Portugal in the hope of fulfilling a life-long dream of finding open space, subsistence farming and a safer, better life.
The third stage of our journey begins now!
I'm still figuring out farm life, and while the larger renovation of the agricultural structure is now complete, I will continue renovating the interior to make it habitable and turn it into a comfortable home for me and my furkids.
Thank you for joining our journey!

I offer my condolences regarding your father! I wondered how you were doing since you had not posted videos for some time and I have missed you. I totally understand how you feel. My son passed away in 2021 and it still affects me. Loss of a loved one is truly traumatic and has a lasting affect on your everyday life. Bless you and your family!

So sorry for your lose! You do what you need to do to work through your grief. Your farm will be there when you are ready. Your needs to have more conveniences are real important so just do it. Water needs to be good!! No wonder you were sick. Hope the filters make it safe.

Did you any videos of the progress at the farm. You know this is a marathon, you’ll get things done, and it’s not terrible you find a way to stay warm and dry. Sorry about the water issues, hope you will feel better and begin to get the energy to work on the house. Wishing you good health.

So sorry, my dad also passed from a stroke, which resulted in vascular dementia, it is very very hard, he also had aphasia from it, but I thank God, I had the privilege of nursing him to the end, it takes a lot out of a person, be kind to yourself.💜💜💜

I have missed your videos, but I didn't expect you to post anything as it's such a loss losing a parent. It's good you're starting to take time out for yourself, it's very important for your mental health, also your health in general. Take as much time as you like. We know you'll post something when you're up to it..put no pressure on yourself. Like you said, use what you've brought to make your life more comfortable now, tomorrow may never come. Thats good you found out about your water, at least you can do something about it, like you are. No more upset tummies for you and the dogs. Take care of yourself, and take time out for you. ❤ xx

Thank you for your message Ruth x I'm so sorry to hear that a loved one is affected by dementia. It is an awful disease. I struggled for a long time about the golden years of his life he had lost to the disease. Cherish your time and I hope your primary carer seeks support. So often primary carers forget to look after themselves whilst caring for a loved one with dementia. xx

Thank you Christine for this update. Condolences once again❤‍🩹 Losing a parent is losing a part of yourself💔 Oh, really smart of you to test the water. Perhaps more economical to connect to the municipal water? I guess a huge filtration system is expensive. Take care of yourself, Shakti and Shiva. I'll be here when you return. Greetings and a healing hug from Sweden, Katarina

Hi Christine, the best time to make decisions is when we are not in emotional overload. With tragedy there always is the possibility of some new awakening (your dad's transition). It's through intense stress that birth and change happens. Evolution happens due to intense pressure and not due to the lack thereof. The intense pressure on building your new life away in Portugal from a sinking ship is part of your process. People achieving the "impossible" are those that stubbornly refuse to accept short term obstacles as defeat. Failure can only overtake you if you allow it do do so. It's never the end, instead just a new beginning! Hang in there and the Universe will show you the way even though it might feel in moments of stress that there is no way. Just belief and a new door will open. Believing is creation happening. When you belief in your dream and live it in your mind daily, nurturing your farm dream, the universe will bring along your path the solutions to all your needs. Watching your progress and knowing from experience all the challenges you were going to face I knew that challenges were going to be part of your journey. Be assured for every challenge from your sewer system to the damp issues and plumbing and so forth there are great and permanent solutions. If something does not work, be bold and change it fearlessly. Never turn around and go back to what you left behind. For many reasons Portugal is the best choice you have ever made. I am rooting for your success and you will overcome all the short term challenges. Sometime in the future and it might be six months or more, but soon you will remember the challenges as you sit in your comfy farm home, relaxing and feeling blessed by your dream achieved. Thinking also about the lessons and the new skills you have learned. Hang in there girl meets farm!
