Unfortunately we have had yet another slow Wi-Fi day, that has delayed the uploading of Cristina’s video over on her channel youtube.com/@Cristina-Makes. It should be up by tomorrow so show her the support and take a look. Thank you ❤

WHAT?? 😳🤣!! I've never seen a piece of machinery loaded and unloaded like that in my life!! Genious!! Brilliant!! And very cool 😄. Cristina, love your hat. I have a whole collection too. Never go out without one on. So I appreciate another woman who knows how to wear a hat. 😁!! You guys need a raft with an umbrella and cup holders for that lake 🍻🥂. Make for a fabulous afternoon's video. James, I once had a bad case of the flu so a friend heated up whiskey and orange juice, made me drink it and then put a layer of blankets on me to sweat it out. I'm still here, and rarely been very sick since. I think my body is terrified of going thru that treatment again. Hope you're all better very soon!! Take care guys!! 🥰🌿♥️

@The-Quinta Ай бұрын

Thank you Meg 😊 We’re definitely feeling much better! I’ll try your drink next time 👌 I love my hats, never go out with out a hat 😅

Hi James & Cristina, I'm really liking your videos even more than before. They're better quality, show so many different things that keep them interesting and still showcase your sense of humour (yes, humour is spelled correctly cuz I'm Canadian!). I continue to be a fan!!

@The-Quinta Ай бұрын

Thanks that’s very kind of you! I didn’t know there was another way to spell humour, apart from the american way. Which is wrong wrong wrong 😂😂

Given the amount of rain you had recently, it’s good to see your water supply is topped up. Sydney got a good drenching last week but we are ready for large deluges. That outer plaster boarding was a joy to watch. No need for the shout out but appreciated all the same. Come to Sydney n we’ll crack open a couple of tinnies 🇦🇺🫶🏻🇬🇧

It definitely done a lot of good! My grass is wild now unfortunately. Sounds like a good plan👍🏻

At least progress is being made. But it takes time to get materials and equipment. Sometimes things don't go according to plan. It's part of the process. I hope you are getting done with that pesky virus. I will soon start working to finish my pantry closet build. Just have to plaster and paint. And change out a light fixture. I will show Christina some ❤ tomorrow. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

Now, we wouldn't have paid any attention to Lincoln if you didn't tell us. Never would have thought he could get the digger in the truck without a ramp. You never know how long a build will take; but it is always good to have a plan.

Hi Guys, the land looks gorgeous even overgrown - very beautiful, ❤ Cristina the door and the table look great. I bet those ginger shots are good for the immune system sometimes you’ve got to suck it up James, I’ll be checking out the recipe for sure. 😉 Also, that digger maneuver was amazing! Thanks for adding that - it was like a little bonus.

Do what Andy did. He got Starlink for his internet. In Portugal, it's much cheaper than in the states. And no more slow Wi-Fi delays. Glad to see y'all taking your daughter's advice on the supplement. It takes time to feel the good affect from it. When you take other supplements for them to help, they must be high quality otherwise you're wasting your money on junk. God bless and stay safe. 😊

@The-Quinta Ай бұрын

We have had Starlink for sometime now. The issue is more with the size of the file uploading as it’s 4k and KZfaq takes forever to process it. Cristina is a master at supplements, fortunately the majority of our products are organically grown locally, which is wonderful. 👍🏻

Wow, that lake...looked like you were walking on water! Is that the road to the beach? I recall a walk you did last year. Just wonderful to have this close by. Btw, at a quick glance, the pink rose, looks like the one called, Queen Elizabeth. Am I correct?

@The-Quinta Ай бұрын

Hi Nicolette, no the beach is about 25 minutes away this is the back of our land. Not sure about the rose, but if it was that would be wonderful. 😀

@NicoletteEBedford Ай бұрын

Take a photo of it in bud, and open and the shape of bush. Then when back in U K pop into local garden centre. Anyway, check online as well! Queen E has a particular shape bud and flower. I'm a florist and it looked familiar. Worked with them, back in the day.

@NicoletteEBedford Ай бұрын

Now what is needed with your ginger health drink, to give it a sweet kick, is a 1/2 t of brandy and 1/2 t of your Canadian maple syrup! What do you think, James? 🤭😮clever loading of digger!!😅
