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.

Diogo was the star of the show last week but he has excelled himself yet again! What extraordinary speed he runs at, he is super impressive! (2:15 ish) And also very obviously intelligent and happy - a great credit to you two. 20 pallets of "stuff"?! That's a heck if a lot - so I can't help speculating what it's for ... second story on the granite barn, as hinted at a week or so back?

He is quite an amazing dog 😊 I think you might have to find yourself a podenco too Neil! oh it’s 20 pallets, completely empty, it’s the pallets themselves we’ll be using :)
@Neilhuny
@Neilhuny 4 месяца назад
@@FrankieOffGrid Ahhh!😃😄😃 I got the wrong end of the stick with the pallets. I had to look up what a podenco was ... a Diogo! Another wrong, linked, assumption - I had guessed that 'Diogo" was Portuguese for 'dog' or 'doggy' but then watched Diogo J playing for Liverpool! What were his parents thinking, giving him the name 'Doggy"? Harsh. So I looked up "Diogo" ... oops - it is related to Diego/Jacob/James

Loved this week's video, dogs,😊 cats 😊 chickens 😊 and puppies 😊. Can't wait for the Clarissa breakdown on solar this will be extremely helpful for our off grid future property we are in South Wales so not as sunny as Portugal 😂. Currently building a gabion wall from stone on our land and a way of using up waste hard-core from our cottage renovation, we had to remove a lot of 80's remodeling to get back to the existing stone. The gabion wall is not as difficult as your stone wall😂 but looks like you are doing a sterling job. Loved the frittata recipe going to be giving that a try. Can't wait for more gardening, seed sewing tips too ❤

An awesome bit of work - just remember to keep the cement moist so it doesn't dry out too fast - a great time of year to be doing it and it will make a massive difference in terms of water supply. The wall looks fantastic - you are doing a cracking job. It has been terrific weather - Lukes video of the guys we had building our stone gate may be useful - they were amazing over 100 years of building rock wall experience between them. We will be in touch about some work soon and it would be great to have you over fora meal.

Iwan is really getting good with the stones around the well. One section there with some smaller rocks looked like a work of art. I guess it could be considered a work of art! lol. Put your initials on it somewhere. Get a paw print of the dogs and cats in some cement somewhere on the well. Will be a permanent memory for you. Be sure to put the date on it too! Just a thought! lol. Guess you could put your foot prints there also. lol👣😊👣. ❤️🙏🏼😎👋🏻🇨🇦🦫🫎
