Makes me feel guilty sitting in front of my laptop, and just watching the video...

it' s great to have a companion who thinks in the same way as you do. I mean, both of you were ready to clear that abandoned land and to have your own fruit and vegetables. You guys are great! Inspiring story. Unfortunately, I'm divorced and it's difficult for me to dig, plant, etc. by myself. I do it, but it's really hard when you don't have a support and someone to motivate you when you're down. Wish you good luck , guys!

My favourite KZfaqrs without any doubt

Wow, gardening is a great form of exercise! You have lost a lot of weight since arriving! Not to leave out how fantastic the farm produces edible food!

Tank you, Tank you, merci, merci de partager avec nous ce merveilleux projet !! Vous êtes tellement inspirants. J'attends avec impatience vos nouvelles vidéos !!🌻🌻

that wall rebuild at 9:48 is so satifying to watch 🤩

Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍

Your living a great life!

Wonderful work you did there May god bless you both with more happiness and abundance and prosperity.

Wonderful record of all your hard work thanks for sharing 🌺

You both worked hard enough and it shows, the Quinta looks just Wonderful, my uncle and auntie, are looking down and smiling , " Thank you for your hard work!". The water in that big well is very safe to drink, I drunk many glasses of water from there, in those days there was no bottled water, and I'm still alive , as for the little well , it terrified me as a child every time I walked up or down the stone steps that are beside the well.

Well done, but I think a few machines might have helped, certainly a scrub Cutter, Chain saw and an excavator ! --

Nice update, it's only when you look back like this you see how much has been done.

What a beautiful journey. Thank you for sharing your story thus far. You are a joy to watch. Thank you for bringing life and beauty to this unloved piece of land. 😃🌻💞🐈🇬🇧

You two deserve every good thing life has to offer. You've earned it 😉 Btw: I'm totally exhausted......

The two of you are amazing! what a paradise you have built. I cannot wait to see what you do with the house!

Watching this brought a tear to my eye. This is gruelling hard work, and both of you are totally committed. I’m full of admiration (not to mention envy) for all that you’ve achieved. Amazing and inspiring! I love the fact that you repurpose and reimagine everything. Congratulations!🤗🇮🇪

Brilliant achievement, you two can be proud of yourselves…..Bravo !

What a transformation in 2 yrs congratulations on all your efforts...so inspirational 😊

Fantastic work and good taste, provided by Talented British Couple in Center Portugal! God bless You, Health and keep enjoying the beauty of "Terras Lusas"! p.s. Be resilient and safe of forest fires!

Interesting animals, I saw a ring tailed civet and even a pine marten. The abandoned hinterland of all of Southern Europe has a myriad of hidden surprises.

Wow you two are a couple of peaceful warriors! This blows my mind as I sit on my sofa and watch your labour!!!👍🏻🌈💕

Made me happy watching you bring back that property. Clearly a labor of love.

Beautiful and life affirming, thanks! X Onward!

So much work. I'm exhausted just watching you guys work. Good on yah!

Какие вы молодцы! Это очень вдохновляет. Thanks for the video.❤

How lovely to see that old farm turn into your beautiful home and gardens. You 2 are obviously wonderful partners, and it makes me smile❤. Thank you for sharing your hard work.

So good to see all the progress. Lovely voiceover x

Being a city girl I am in awe of your hard work and the wonderful results. So good to see the two of you working as a team and having the same dream.

They are more fit and healthy than any average gym goer. Love them!!

That was great! Beautifully put together! You two have done amazing things so far! Can’t wait to see what’s next! And what grows! Love all the gardening!!

I pray that you two live the best of your lives in that great home of yours. I hope you could enjoy more the fruits of your hard work and labor. ❤❤❤

Greetings from Croatia. I came across your video tonight and watched it. The whole time I had the impression that I was watching myself. My husband and I bought an old country house, about 200 years old, and we started right away with growing vegetables, that's our priority, then we started renovating the house, the two of us, completely alone. In addition, we now have chickens, pigs and one goat. There is a lot to sort out. That's why you completely I understand and share your joy. I'm only in my first year. I wish you many beautiful moments and joy and peace 🙏❤️

You both have done a tremendous wonderful beautiful job on this property. ❤. I pray God keeps you both healthy and prosperous in your growth of body and land. Just beautiful.❤❤❤❤❤

You proved many things, that you can start a new life and find new goals while retaining some of the things people from the past have used. There is another British couple in Portugal that are doing much the same, with ecology and natural resources restoring land and homes once abandoned. "Work, Do, Grow" is their You Tube channel. Both of you have an amazing work ethic, a way to imagine a stone wall and build it. May this year bring far more satisfaction, good food, and certainly a thriving garden, grape harvest. 🇨🇦❤️

Bloody marvellous, I want to say how lucky you are, but its hard work really. So, the harder you work; the luckier you are. You have my admiration and respect. Well done.

Seriously, you are one of my favorite channels to watch now. I love that you love the land and show the importance of gardening! Keep up the good work. Can't wait until you get to the house restoration.

You both worked so hard, the place looks awesome, a real paradise 👍💐

Excellent video! The place looks great! I truly enjoy sitting having a coffee and watching your progress! Alast my own garden is calling! The last time I commented the temp here was -16c ! Today it's 25c and we are dying because of the heat! 😂

Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us.

You have achieved so much in 2 years. It's good to look back and hopefully feel inspired to carry on!

Oh... it's breath taking🥲 That beautiful life you chose in this incredible part of world❤

I think your care of walls is a credit to you and the land. Well done in everything you do.

That was truly a pleasure to watch. I hope that little lemon tree is coming along nicely. Thank you for sharing 'Team Veggie' 🤠 🤠

What a wonderful video. Thank you. I sure admire you both for your hard work.

You guys are truly amazing,what ye have achieved( in only two yrs) is fantastic 👏👍🌻🌳🌹well done for living the dream❤️

Didn't join you at the start of your endeavours but will continue to watch with great interest. I do wish I had been able to do this but maybe 20 years ago!

WOW, that was a lot of work, but the way you restore everything is amazing. God bless you guys.

Hard work pays your place is beautiful. You two bring a lot of inspirations Bravo!

It is a delight to watch your videos! I don't frequently comment but I always leave a thumbs up. Indeed so much work has been done and, among the many things done, the detail of perfectly restoring the old stone walls. One thing that I really enjoy is a property with its stone walls standing high. It takes much effort but it brings it's character in full!! all best!

Really enjoyed watching this, you've grafted long & hard & done an amazing job. Well done that man & that woman 💐 xx

What a delight seeing a couple a bit older than myself doing my dream life! Gives me hope I still have time (I’m 44)

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. Wonderful transformation! You guys have really brought that beautiful abandoned land back to life. Well done❤👏🏽

Great video again just, like the others ❤💚 greetings from Clarisse

We just started our journey with a ruin in Mafra (40min from Lisbon). A lot of job work but worth it.

Outstanding transformation over 3-years.

New subscriber. It's amazing how this couple is resilient and hard workers. Their skills are amazing whatever they do. The effort they devote in restoring a such abandoned, negleted land and house is really astonishing. Wishing them success and happiness. We do need many ppl who take care of our earth instead of polluting!!!! Much love from Italy.

I have been looking for a video from you. Such a massive lot of hard work, you have made the land beautiful.

The round yellow type of lemon, I love it.
