    I very much enjoy watching your progress on your farm. It's alot of hard work but it's good work! Those granite posts are so nice and those old vines are amazing! The stump would make a nice base for a table....it's all so beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us...

    Uau uau uau .
    What can I say.
    Still a lot ahead to be done .
    Can’t wait to see what happens next .
    Yes ,where ever e are,where ever we go ,we should never forget our roots and culture ,we are always part of the culture if never been afraid to admit where we are from .
    Sr Joaquim a minha recomendação é que devia que ao menos melhorar a nível de PPE .(personal protective equipment ),pois muitos subscribers podem não gostar,não vaia ter um dia algum tipo de injury .
    Quanto ao stump da árvore,isso bem cortada em cima,tratada e envernizada dava uma bela mesa.
    See you next week and a big thank you.
    You can show to some people ,that a Portuguese is never afraid of work .
    Regards from Jersey island - uk.

      Obrigado meu amigo, work is to be embraced as part of the positive, creative force.
      Eu entendo que muita gente fica apreensivo em ver alguém que aparenta não se proteger ao máximo com sistemas de proteção pessoal. Vale lembrar que todo o equipamento de proteção nunca vai substituir o estar acordado no serviço.
      Abraço

    I was curious about how you would adjust to the culture again. I can imagine it to be both wonderful and overwhelming. You are also living my dream of return to Portugal from Canada. This is the content I have been wanting, other people are sharing their own Portugal dreams, and as much I love that I am drawn to the unique perspective we share. You're doing great. I have to say I'm surprised Alabaster is still so white you guys must be bathing him daily.
