Not really the video we wanted to share, but we have to be honest & true to the journey. We haven’t completely given up on the idea of being out here, we’re just sharing truthfully what’s currently going on. We have a lot to navigate and think about but we wanted to be honest & transparent about where we’re at.
Thanks for all love and support, we’ll share more next week

Hey, it's sad to hear you both upset, but here's the thing, you simply have to look at things pragmatically, not always easy i know. Look at your journey so far, look at what you've learned, look at the experiences you've had, especially the experiences you've shared together which have brought you closer and more appreciative of your surroundings, and of each other. If everything in life was "meant to be" then life would be pretty boring, there would be absolutely no place for hopes, dreams and aspirations. The consequences of European politics is not your fault and it's certainly not a qualification of what should or shouldn't of been. YOU two are masters of your own destiny, stay focused, keep in the game, you're bigger and stronger than you've ever been. More importantly, keep your tolerance and love for each other. 🤘👍

Laura and Dan, I am so sorry you are in this situation. I follow other people from the UK who are living in Portugal. They were able to move to Portugal before the shutters came down following Brexit. You moved as the shutters were coming down. The population in the UK have voted to become prisoners in their own land. I can understand people who do not want to follow politics but your situation proves that we ignore politics at our peril. The UK have become a resentful and angry little island. I suppose we cannot live by "we want" we now live by what we are allowed to do. The rich and well-off can always live by "we want". They can live where ever they want.
If you are thinking about Ireland please pay attention to the history and politics. Start by watching the BBC documentary "Once upon a time in Northern Ireland".
I hope you continue to grow and love.

Oh Laura and Dan, This was so sad to hear. Please don't give up. You are such dedicated workers on your land. I so wish there was something I could do. Never give up HOPE!😘😘🤗 x o

Ireland is not a bad place, but the weather can be challenging. But at least there is an almost non existent threat of forest fires. So that’s a bonus. The people are lovely. Best of luck with everything!

As a portuguese viewer i totally understand the frustration with the burocratic system in Portugal.
In Life sometimes the things we want to most are the hardest to get. I hope everything goes your way and i send you both love and patience.

Laura and Dan, you guys are why we follow you. No matter what decision you make, no matter where life and circumstances take you. We will continue to follow. I hate that you are having a tough time in your journey to live full time on the land. I will pray for you both. Sending love and hugs from the USA.

So sad this part of your story. So uplifting your attitude. You are the kind of people who will make memories wherever you are. Like everybody else I wish you luck in whatever you choose to do.

[kristingrankvist]

I so hope you find a good solution to all this. I spent 16 years in Portugal, it was hard work all the time. It was also the happiest time in my life and I miss Portugal every day I am not there. Cross my fingers so you can stay on your beautiful homestead🤞🤞

[Malcolmlgrant]

Please don't give up. I'm praying for you for better news in the new year. Be strong.

[wendyallisonbarnes]

My dad used to say, “ You may lose the battle, but don’t lose the lesson.” I know you have learned a lot. Do what is best for you. Wherever you land, we will continue to follow you. Remember…people are more important than things, and your marriage is the most important. You guys are great.

[charmarlie]

I love it when you two laugh, keep the smiles on.😊
Life is short and full of obstacles, try to find a way to live it as painless as possible is our duty to ourselves. Always remember, this shall pass too!!! Piece of cake, your health is the most important thing. Try not to loose that, ok?

[projectportugal]

Wow, bit of a shocker guys, hope you can sort something out, whatever you decide just remember to keep yourselves happy❤❤

[terryfry]

Hoping 2024 will see all your dreams come true . One way or another you will make it !! Thank you for sharing .

PS I took a trip to Ireland about ten years ago, My niece and I walked across the entire country from East to West. We both loved it so much. It is green, and wet, but what a stunning place. If that"s what you choose, You can still live off grid and homestead. I have some friends who moved to an Island in Scotland. They are the only residents on the little Island in a 400 year old house. They have made it cozy while they are renovating. They live by the beach. They have a boat they use to go to the mainland for shopping. Just an Idea.
and you are always welcome to visit Italy.

So good to watch people like you two who gave up everything to start a new life. DONT GIVE UP you will laugh about this in a few years. Determination is the only way to get what you Really want and you already have most of that Luck from the Boro Boy

[neutonrenda]

It would be a heartbreaker to see you having to leave, but if you do guys, I truly believe that you can make a success of homesteading wherever you end up. I find Ireland very romantic, it would be very different from what you have, but who says it can't be better. I would love to see you succeed, and will be watching and cheering you on.👍❤

[janebrommet]

[paul]

My heart goes out to you both. Stay strong.
