- We give you a full farm tour and overlay some of the first videos we took in July 2023 during a 10 day visit. See how overgrown and dry the farm was compared to now, in winter 2024.
We've done an audit of what we have on the farm and tell you what we paid for it.
Well I think you have done really well too. A perfect basis to take your time renovating and taking us on the journey.
Thankyou. Weather hasn't been great last couple of weeks but hopefully turned the corner now. Been blowing a gale last few days so it'll be nice to be outside again ! J
I'm sure Barbara is thrilled that you'll be doing all the laundry from now on. 🤣
Thanks for the tour & update: this is going to be such a lovely farm & house.
The laundry runs are a bit of a pain but we try and have a routine , chuck washing, coffee and pastry, dry washing and then do food shop.
But (other than a fridge) a washing machine is a high priority once we get a decent water system in place from the well. That's hopefully happening in the next couple of weeks....fingers crossed. Thanks for watching J
The updated property tour was great. Looking forward to watching your progress!
Thanks so much! Weather has been a bit rubbish so some jobs have been on hold.
I wish you all the best. Your land is awesome. I would like to make a suggestion: Can you ask the town council there to pave the road to your land and outside lightining? I think you are contribuiting to regenarete your land and at the same time to add value to the whole area. Take time to rest and enjoy everything you have there. I'm here to follow your progress.Tons of good health and tons of
happy years to enjoy your land. A Portuguese from Lisbon.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks Isabelinha, we love the farm and the views are spectacular. Unfortunately we are the only people living on this track and we are 1km from the last bit of tarmac road. To be fair the council have repaired washed out bits of the track after heavy rain but that's as much as they will do. It's not too bad and I've seen worse. We try and buy from local businesses and employ local help when we can. We are part of this community now so we must support it. Thanks for watching x J
Thank you for the comprehensive tour. You have certainty done a lot in the short time that you have been there👏. It's a really nice property, and you have good plans for it. Wishing you all the best as you move forward. I remember your first video😂 You have definitely upped your game a lot since!
Thanks. Yes still trying to improve and those first videos weren't meant for youtube. My language was far too rude to put out there !
Really nice to see before and where you are at so far. Really nice update looking forward to following you and seeing what you get up to next. Good luck 😊😊❤❤
Thankyou. Weather has hampered progress a bit but hopefully over the worst of it now
I like the way you explained your land and what you plan on doin, sounds like a life time of work
Hi Rick, yes it's a lot of work !
We need to give the land a bit of a reset as it's not been used for about 20 years other than a few olives being picked. Early stages of a longer project for sure ! J
@@greenerinportugal as the saying goes “onward and upward 💪👌🏻
You need to get a water test kit before you drink it. It might be only usable for the land, it could be full water borne bacteria or nitrites
Yep, we have a test planned at the local city laboratory. Might also put in UV. Thanks
Nice video. Guinness made a guest appearance 🙃
Too right. Cant do anything without his approval lol
Check you out with a February tan… great work x
February has been a mixed bag. 20 degrees then rain, then 20, then 6....lol x love to all and Guinness says woof to Aunty Dawn
Good luck with it all, with all that fruit you will be able do so much, looking forward to seeing it happening 😊
Thankyou. We will make mistakes I'm sure !
Great video presentation & editing. there's lots there to keep you busy for a few years. We're just renovating a 2nd home just South of Coimbra, so in a similar situation to yourselves, although we're not planning to move to Portugal (at the moment anyway!). Have you managed to find local trades people to help with any building work, or are you intending to do all of the works yourselves?
Thanks Stuart. Yes we will be doing the majority of the work but getting some experts when needed. We live in a small village so luckily there is always someone who knows someone else to do a job. We want to support the local smaller business where possible as well. We like Coimbra area as well and we did look for properties there (and Tomar). This one just ticked all the boxes. Good luck on the renovation of house 2. J
