So it was saying your vows to each other and getting ready for haul back to your beautiful homestead! Congratulations dear ones! ❤ ❤ ❤

On U Tube I follow quite a few different people, but you two are my absolute favourites by far.!! So glad you are both back, Happy Days.

Laura and Dan congratulation for your marriage. You're so lovely together. All the best to both of you going back to Portugal through a long journey.. Love your vids

So you brought the weather back 😜 I've lost a heap of money here on a van so buying vehicles anywhere is an arse. Congratulations on the marriage!!

Beautifully creative, and most heart warming genuine. Beautiful you two are, and those eyes just sparkle bright the vibe of love shared between you two as it flows to us all. Congratulations on your wedding. WELCOME HOME!!🥰

It's great to see you both back home where you belong. What a transformation the rain made! Please take care and have a fabulous Xmas.

Congratulations on your marriage! You make a good team! Thanks for sharing your journey with us all!

Congratulations 🎉 Mr and Mrs. So glad to see you back safe and well. Merry Christmas when it comes.

Hi you two, Love the singing, see a album coming up. 😃😃 On second thoughts after hearing Dan in the shower. Hope you have a great Christmas and wishing you all the best for the New Year. Tony 🇬🇧 xx

Congratulations Laura and Dan Mr & Mrss somebody do you like your new name hehe wow you guys don’t do things by half. Great to see you so happy, I hope the homestead is all safe and sound. Have a great honeymoon and a terrific hot Christmas together. 😊 Living your best lives. God Bless

I there youngsters , I just started watching your channel . I am 66 years old in the Unted States . I watch homesteaders like you to relax .

Laura when you get back you sould build 16'X24' House, then insulate, put your wireing in place, plumbing n place, metal roof,make a spot for Porta potti so you can pull the casette out and dump it, you will have to find a spot to dump or install a tank in the ground with a field, you can get all this info on building at the locale Library and the Building Yard should have all the books for building with wood, not that stuff you used on the outhouse.

HONEYMOON BLESSINGS TOO... CONGRATS!!!! ITA A SPECIAL THING!!

Congratulations on getting married! We are very similar in circumstances to you. We are moving to Spain next year to live off grid but just waiting for the house to sell. We also bought a Mitsubishi L200! And I think we were scammed! We have had it 6 months and it’s spent over a month in the garage and it’s about given me a nervous breakdown. It’s so bad, and I think the MOT on it was dodgy. Did you get it from Willans Road Car Sales in Dewsbury by any chance? Lol :-) we have now bought Mercedes Benz sprinter van instead. Truck not sorted yet but hopefully will get it returned and refunded. So stressful. Oh also we just got married a couple of months ago too! Mostly for getting the paperwork sorted hahah :-) Very excited for you both to be back on your land, and have a brand new truck 😁👍🏻 Great Portuguese progress too!!

I few people have had trouble with re registration of UK vehicles in Portugal hope you have figured this out .

I'm so glad your heading back. Shoot when she came on the intercom on the fairy I thought for sure they were going to say wait a minute, we got you in the wrong cabin. Your is the one with No TV.

Happy holidays to the new young couple, congratulations! I wish you all the best!

Hi to you both and congratulations on your wedding. I'm in the process of relocating to central PT too and I'm interested in your experience with importing your pick-up as I've had no luck finding a suitable vehicle in PT. I assume you are PT residents by now, or, at least on the way. How do you plan to bring a vehicle to PT that you haven't owned for six months in the UK? I understand that if you are not a resident you can't keep the vehicle in PT for longer than 90 days (maybe less?), you can't sell it in PT and nobody else can drive it. If you are resident you have to pay duty on it and re-register it within 20 days of its entry into PT. I'm told the duty demanded by PT is prohibitively expensive and the paperwork and checks a real pain, so how have you handled this? Also, what are your feelings on driving a RHD in a LHD country where carpark barriers, toll booths etc are on the "wrong" side? I'd be interested to know how you are finding it.

Just to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year .Hope 2023 will be great for you .Dave .

WOOHOO... JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!! GLAT THATS ALL BEHIND, AND YOU HAVE YOUR BELONGINGS. WELL DONE..... ALWAYS ENJOY THE VIDS, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS WEEK. ENJOY!

Congratulations 🎊 on your marriage, sorry about the truck. Glad you're back. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅

So glad to see you are back and excited and motivated. Whatever comes your way you will tackle it ok with your positive thinking. Hope you have a great Holiday! Lots of love from Florida

I’m on my second poly tunnel cover, I’ve learnt by my mistakes🎉. I have 6 screw in stakes not the spiral ones these are 12” long with a flat screw at the base , then I put 3 wide ratchet straps over it making sure they were not tight just secure. Been 3 years and still there and as we live in a valley we get winds a lot, the galvanised base is buried along with the bottom of the plastic and I made a wood door and frame instead of those weak zips. Have a merry Christmas and best of growing for 2023

Congratulations on your marriage! That’s awesome. Blessings on your heads! Keep up the great work on the homestead. Merry Christmas❤️🙏⭐️🎄

Congratulations on your marriage! Merry Christmas 🎄❄❄🥳🥳

Wishing you both a wonderful Christmas and an amazing New Year! Laura 🎄🎄🎄

Congratulations on your wedding and I hope you'll both have a happy loving life together. I've been with my wife for over 40 years and I still love her, and I hope you two can exceed us. Glad you managed to get all your UK business sorted out and have finally got back home. My gum what a cliff hanger to finish this weeks episode off now I'm clutching hold of next week's episode so I can find out if all was OK at home for you. Anyway till next week have a good one I'll be looking out for the notification from you. Thanks for your episode into your life its something I'd have loved to do but can't.

Congratulations on your wedding is good to see happy again in your land. Merry Xmas and a happy 2023 ❤

Congratulations on your wedding. From other chanels i watch, Portugal has had a huge amount of rain, really heavy stuff too. Not the normal amount that Portugal gets in winter. It has brought the land back to life. X

Sorry to hear about the fiasco with the truck, but glad you got something else sorted out and are feeling more optimistic again. Don't beat yourselves up too much, it can happen to anyone 😞 Lovely video as always tho, and huge respect for somehow managing to get a video out on a regular schedule despite having to go back to the UK!!

20:19 seems like the prodigal moment♥️love it💯God bless and Merry Christmas!🎄🙏

I am certainly glad you got your truck issue worked out! One GOOD thing about it is you learned and it is something that will never happen to you again!

I found your channel the day you were leaving Portugal. Now I'm a subscriber and one of those ladies that will pray for you both well being and happiness. I got emotional to see your guys arriving home. Merry Christmas and much love ! 🌲💞

Merry Christmas from California, USA!!!

What a great video so sorry about you car trouble I’m glad everything sorted out glad to see you guys are back. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your families

Congratulations on getting married!! and looking forward to seeing the journey continue.

Welcome back to Portugal. I hope everything works fine and that you could achieve all the goals that you aspire. Have a great Christmas and a Happy new year.

Congratulations to you both and Happy Christmas.

Fantastic to see you both back on your homestead and am so sorry you had so much trouble about the other car you bought. Hope it will be plain sailing from now on.

Hello again. My sister speaks your lingo. Ho and French. She was a interpreta, she traveled in South America and the Argentine and Patagonia.

Thanks, didn't look at the date as only found your videos other day and just wanted to help you out as my experience is in decades not a couple of years so you eve need help or advice on anything from growing to weather or building, then don't be afraid to ask. you can even call in anytime you like and see my place. Not as badly run down but still needed plenty of work to make it livable. I would guess that you are in the Castelo Branco area I just the otherside of the big mountain which I can see from the kitchen window

I love watching your videos. The love between you two is clear and pure. You're both very lucky to have found each other. Please keep sharing your life with the world, it is very nice to watch from Canada. Take good care and thank you.

Happy Christmas to you both and congrats on getting married.

Aw great to see your back home, congratulations on your marriage 🎉 onwards and upwards 👍 merry Christmas 🎄 x

I feel so sad that happened with the truck in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 my home country. I think you both dealt with it admirably and I wish you a very happy Christmas at your Portuguese homestead 🎄🎅

I don't understand how people think that train is horrible weather. It is so relaxing 😌

Love this video….I was just as excited as you were when you pulled up at the gate. Looking forward to the next episode. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 have a wonderful Christmas and an amazing new year on your land ❤️❤️❤️

What a great video! What a cliff hanger! When is the next video? I can't wait to see the van and polytunnel. Hurry!!!

Congratulations on your marriage 💑! I am wishing both of you a wonderful Christmas 🎄 on the land. I am so sorry to hear that you were scammed. Good things are on the way!

Glad you ended up with a Ford Ranger. I have a much older one and it's been very good to me. I hope yours lasts a good long time too. :)

Welcome home , and Merry Christmas

Congratulations on marriage, looking forward to seeing your land and watch you carry on with your off grid story.

I felt totes emosh when the truck pulled up at your gate 😢😊

Awwww.... I thought you were taking us home. I wanted to see the ranch. You've left me dangling on the gate here 🤪 Brilliant stuff guys. A most likeable couple. Love the humour and the love between you. The future can only be bright 🌞

So happy for you to be back in your home. Thank you for sharing your precious life. Just love your openness and the love for life u share. Also your respectful and fun relationship. Blessings Philippa Australia

Sorry to hear you got scammed with the truck but the positive thing about is that you got a better replacement 👍 congrats on your marriage guys and wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉🥳🎇🎆👏👏👏

Dan and Laura, congratulations on your marriage. What a journey you two have had and will continue to have. The best to both of you. It’s such a pleasure to see two young people who are sound and are friends and now man/wife.❤

Congratulations to you both. Have a wonderful Christmas 🎉

Hey! Congratulations on getting married, sad it was mentioned like that, but that's personal to you, love watching your content

Oh my it's happy time ! I bet you both are excited to be home .😁

Hope you guys are having a lovely Christmas, and enjoying being back on the farm. Watching your recent video, about the truck issues, it occurred to me that you might have inadvertently given yourselves another headache, buying a RHD truck in the UK. I'm pretty sure I've seen on other Portugal-based You Tubers channels that getting a RHD UK-reg car imported into Portugal can be an absolute nightmare. It's why they've all bought Portugese reg LHD trucks, like ancient Nissan 720s. It's also why trucks are SOOOO expensive in Portugal. I can't remember which channel I saw this on, but pretty sure it was 'The Indie Projects', so maybe reach out to Bea and Theo and ask what the issues were. They had a VW Jetta that was too much drama to get imported into Portugal, so they bought a Nissan truck. And pretty sure same thing happened for Guy and Kylie over on 'Make. Do. Grow'. It may mean you have to go back to the UK every year for an MOT and rego.....which won't be cheap. Sorry if this is a bother, but definitely reach out to someone and get some advice from people in Portugal. I think the big issue is import taxes or duties or something like that (i.e. big expense) not that it is impossible. And it may have changed due to Brexit, so take what I've said above with a pinch of salt till you can check it for yourselves. Hope you have a Happy New Year, and all the best for 2023..!! Keep smiling!

Wishing you a joyful and sunny Christmas and many blessings for the New Year! 🌞💕👍💪🥰

Congratulations on the marriage and the return to the land!

The two of you have such good character. The truck scam will soon far in your review mirror and not even warrant a second thought. The American West was settled by folks with similar qualities. So, go get 'um!

Congratulations on your marriage and your return to your land. Bright and successful days ahead for you!

Hello Mr & Mrs.., congratulations!! It's lovely to see you back in Portugal, I hope you have a good Christmas, and wish you a happy new year.🎉☺ ️

Congratulations on your wedding 💓💓 I love watching you on your journey good luck x

Weld a two pols front of car up. Steal frame front to back. In Australia we all do. Store much more on your long trip. Look trady ute. Frame front to back. God bless.6 min in.

I can't wait to be back home with you guys, anxiously waiting

Looking forward to more of your journey but i hate cliff hangers😂

Congratulations. Happy wife, happy life.
