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.

Lol, have seen this one. Remember that look Frankie gave with the sock in her mouth, very funny and worth watching again for sure.👍❤

[georgianacairns]

I love that you take the time to acknowledge your family pets, even when you are working so hard to build a home for all of you.

[pattyflagler]

Diogo has grown into a gorgeous adult. So glad that you guys saved him. ❤️

[leeworley]

I love it, frankie carrying that old sock then stopping and giving u a twinkle in her eyes. Like i'm a a sweet thing you can't stop. Frankie if i was there i'd be giving you a hug and a belly rub and yes one of my socks too, , 😂❤️

Your homestead is full of beauty and the improvements you are making have turned your paradise into a tranquil and relaxing environment to live. It was so cute to see Frankie doing his thing where he buries your socks. So adorably cute. The well wall is really coming along and your masonry skills have improved so much. Nick and his lovely wife are great friends to have. Always there to give a hand. Lots of wood to stack for a warm and comfortable winter season. You have to think ahead and be prepared for sure. Such a difference to your property since you first started living there. You should be proud of all your hard work. Beautiful home.

[janpercell-phig]

I must comment on how much i enjoy your videos and like so many comment ..the atmosphere you provide with all your hard work and the music snd the sweet animals. You videos give an atmosphere of peace but i know you get discouraged but you both maintain so we dont see your pain or lonliness.
Keep doing the best you can and we will keep watching and wishing you success in your endeavors with your lovely home and offgrid living. Merry christmas, and a wonderful new year!

Definitely in the upper echelon of video making, the choices of music you use in each instance, the inclusion of your menagerie also brings me joy and peace.Thanks very much.

Another beautiful, tranquil and colorful video. Merry Xmas to you and your families. 🇬🇷 🇬🇷

[cincinnatusagain]

Thanks for such wonderful vibes. You are a nice couple.
I remember the state Diogo was in when you found him. Seeing him now makes me realize that he lived through a classic fairy tale with the classic happy ending. He went from rags to riches in one lucky turn of events. He was lucky to come across two kind souls.
Merry Christmas to you all!

[joannagrimmer]

I can't help but wonder what the human equivalent of Diogo's favourite (I assume rotting carcass) smell is... chocolate trifle, lilac, fresh pine needles, the fragrance in the air after rain? What a character. And, thank you both for providing such a splendid space to visit and guiltily relax while you work so hard in front of and behind your lenses. ❤

[martinjames]

Although you put your videos out on Saturday morning i always save it till the evening when i can absorb the peace and calm that your videos give out😊🐱🐶

[dkappe]

Such a step up with the closing soundtrack and the drone footage. I was moved. Also loved the opening sock bandit footage.

[isnoo]

I truly love your the love, peace and thank you. Now to watch this one!

[REConectandoaocosmos]

Hello. My name is Genaro. Thank you very much for your beautiful videos. They are wonderful. I'm from a small town in Brazil. I lived in Madrid for 12 years and now I have been in Los Angeles for 6 years. But what I want is to live again in a place like yours, which is where I grew up. Good luck. You are doing the right thing. Nature is where we should be.

[suedale]

Reading the comments made I cannot add to anything that was said
You both are hard working tenacious & delightful Thank you 🫂

[robertkemp]

The closing drone + handheld sequences are some of the best sun-setting footage I've seen on YouTube!

[jessejames]

Great to see you and Nick doing walls. Good friends are hard to come by. Have a marvellous Christmas 🎉

[calypso]

You manage once again to show us your daily life in such a beautiful way! Thanks!
