It's astonishing to see how much you've achieved. There must be many difficult moments, maybe even times when you feel it's all too much, but your tenacity and togetherness always pulls you through. You can be so proud of yourselves - you're creating an inspiring and nurturing life for your beautiful family!

Watching your videos twice a week is not only pure joy, as you are so energetic,both of you, but also because of your positivity which turns each obstacle to a possibility to learn a new skill. Tara,you helped me a lot, deciding to make the table and later on the balustrade. You showed me that if we never did something, we will never know if we are able to do it or not. In fact, trying is the only positive attitude. So, at 61, i decided to paint our bathroom,as i’ve been always disappointed by the colours it had. I decided that i should stop my attitude to be afraid of a result being not the one i would ask for. I decided to be proud of myself,just by the fact of doing something i thought unable to do well. The result is not 100% perfect,but i am happy to have pushed away my inhibition. Looking for the perfection stops us trying. Not trying leads of for sure to the frustration…Thank you Tara, for being a new “motor”in my life!!!

Hi Newby’s and Joao, Belated Happy Birthday to Joao. I watched this late Sunday night, this is the first time I’ve had to reply. The amount of stuff you’ve done is mind blowing. While you were making this retrospective look at your lives, there must’ve been so many things to remind you of your accomplishments. The boys are growing so fast, your parents must really miss them. Crusoe is a mini John and Sawyer looks like he can’t wait to take off after Crusoe. Watching Crusoe put his hands on his hips like John is hilarious. Even the chickens have matured! The joy on Tara’s face the first time they laid eggs was priceless. John works so hard, it must be maddening that he’s injured himself. He is so used to setting goals and achieving them. It has to be very frustrating. Tara’s John imitation made me laugh again. Your neighbors are all so kind and generous. Joao is a patient and kind young man. Seeing him with Crusoe is what we want to see in all young people. You’ve created a blessed life! ❤ and Hugs to all of you, Jacqueline in Colorado ❤

I am sure you can even do your own illustrations. This was a lovely look back. I really hope that John's shoulder is all healed soon. Oh, yes, I for one love the Crusoe cam. He shows the world from a child 's eye, and it looks so big. I just love you all so much. The music here was awesome!❤

Happy and Glorious Sunday Newby family what a journey from March to now almost the beginning of September. Crusoe in March just turned 2 years old, still not talking properly look at him now and Sawyer your little always smiling pumpkin will be 1 year old soon. Ups and downs we were sharing with you. You have come so far, it is amazing, all the work of renovating, planting harvesting, and even travelling. Rejoice the harvest is plentiful and brings us much JOY to see you all well. Cannot stop smiling when we saw you Tara overjoyed with your first 4 eggs, like a young girl seeing her first Christmas tree. Amazing. I think I told you already you have a wonderful narrator's voice and can narrate ebooks. Cheers thank-you for this memorable synopsis of the Newbys in Portugal. Obrigada🙏💖🌺🥰🏡🇵🇹🌎🌍🌏

I feel so blessed seeing your SPRING IS IN THE AIR when ours will be here in 2 months, although this video shows all your work done last year, we rejoice that ALL YOUR projects were successful. Now getting ready for MORE in 2024. Wishing you all a wonderful SPRING and BLOOMS all over your Homestead. One day Lord willing fully off grid, no coincidence for such a time like this. Good timing like John said. Cheers🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌅🌄🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌺🌺🌹🌺🌹🐓🐓🐓🐓👱👶🏡🌅🌅🌅🇵🇹

The family of the 4 of you and the generous help and camaraderie provided by those in your social circles. It's heartening to watch Tara and John not only bringing out all the beauty possible on the farm but also raising 2 absolutely wonderful kids in the process. Its a privilege to be able to watch this journey. Thank you so much for sharing and wish the rest of the year is delightful as well :)

What a lovely video…you’ve all been working so hard and it’s wonderful to see the progress. But the highlight for me is seeing Crusoe and Sawyer - they make me smile during every video! Thanks from your fan from the western end of the TransCanada Highway in British Columbia!

Parabéns pelo fantástico sucesso em todos os projectos que se propuseram realizar durante o ano que passou...A minha enorme admiração pelo gosto, alegria e serenidade que revelam nos vídeos que vejo com imenso prazer, sempre com um sorriso nos lábios!!!! Aprecio a ajuda e o interesse que o Crusoe mostra, esforçando-se, com a sua carinha laroca!!!! Entendo perfeitamente a ligação da Tara pela vida ao ar livre, à natureza tendo sido criada em África! Conheci uma parte da ex-Rodésia quando vivi em Moçambique e passava férias na Beira. Felicidades nos vossos projectos futuros, acompanho-vos sempre! 😊

Crusoe has developed so much over this few months , physically and mentally. His speech came on in leaps and bounds . Kay

Watching today I realise I'd missed some bits . Good to catch up on them. I'd been wondering about the complex of buildings and wondering how you could expand into them to make accommodation for the boys . I see another building really close to the main one that you could convert and then add a bit to link that wing to the first house . Probably that would double your accommodation ? Great . God bless Kay

I just found your first video and the tour of the buildings. Interesting. Its more complicated than i thought . The bungalow certainly would make a good house with a new roof ! Then the two smaller ones could be let out ? It will be interesting to see what you will do eventually. And ive got all the videos of your safari through Africa to watch . I love Africa, have visited twice, Egypt and Ghana. Love Kay
