    Thank you for taking us on this journey with you and Barney. I look forward to seeing your homestead grow and the plans you have for the future. As for the here and now, your videos are wonderful. If you want to spin around with the camera, then keep doing it, and don’t let anyone persuade you otherwise. You’re living your life the way you want to, happy, joyous and carefree. I only wish it was infectious, as we need more people like you.

      ​​@@looselywild2679Here is a tip Lucy to help you move the camera more slowly when panning a view. Hold the camera near to your head and move it whilst you move your head to view the surroundings. Then after a few tries you will see in edit the difference and then just remember how to do it. I have taken a lot of pan photo panorama shots and video pans and I was not going to comment on this as it did not upset me.

    In a garden kissed by morning light,
    A little bee takes to the flight,
    With wings of gold and heart so bold,
    She dances through blooms, her story unfolds.
    Among the petals, she flits with glee,
    A symphony sung by the buzzing bee,
    Each flower a note in her sweet, wild song,
    In the tapestry of life, she feels she belongs.
    The world is vast, with skies so wide,
    No cage can hold her, no need to hide,
    Through fragrant meadows and sunlit trees,
    She finds her freedom in the warm summer breeze.
    With every nectar drop she gathers with care,
    She weaves a magic, spreading love everywhere,
    Pollinating dreams in the soft morning dew,
    Her journey a canvas, painted anew.
    So here’s to the bee, so vibrant and free,
    A symbol of life’s sweet harmony,
    In every flutter, in every flight,
    She shows us the beauty of chasing the light.

    Please don’t move the camera! Let your objects, the things you’re filming, do the moving. I get a bit seasick from all that camera swinging. A bit of stillness will give much better videos. PS Thank you for sharing your adventures and congratulations. So glad you’re back in Portugal. There is another UA-camr in your area near Monsanto, Suzie from Dream Life Portugal! Perhaps you could get in touch with her and video your meeting?

    Hello 🙂 so nice to see you both. A little Tipp for planting the trees.. Avocado need lots of water and the walnut needs to be planted a bid seperat from the rest.. walnut trees make the ground around them sour.. so it could be that the other trees will not grow next to it or will die with time. You dont need that.
    Good luck with the trees.. and its funny how fast nature qill come, when there is a pond ❤ see you soon.

    Nice selection of trees. Think about adding some cork oaks, which do very in Portugal and offer shade and shelter. I'd suggest you give plenty of space for the larger ones such as walnut and chestnut, they'll get big. Have you considered mulching each one with lots of scrap cardboard held down with stones? That will help retain moisture and control competing grass and weeds, and help them get established. It's particularly valuable if you can't be there as often as you'd like. Supermarkets may well have a free cardboard box skip you can help yourself from.

Chestnut trees can eventually get pretty big depending on the variety 100 ft tall with a big canopy and live for 700+ years. I've got several tree's in my garden that have gotten way bigger than i was expecting 🤦🏼. Thanks for the vid.

    I love watching your videos about your land and I am looking forward to see what you are going to do with it.. I bought some land in southern Spain about three years ago, about the same size as yours and planted lots of trees. The difficult thing for me has been keeping them watered during the hot summer months when i am not in Spain. I get a friend to water them and to strim the grass when it gets long. I planted an avocado tree last spring the same as yours, and i think i will have to put some fleece around it for the winter because it does get cold here. Below 5 degress and i think they suffer.

    Great video and the castle and views was very cool, Barney did give me heart failure near the edge as I've got a Lab who can trip over walking on a smooth wooden floor. I hope you didn't plant the trees under any power lines as the power company has right of access to clear trees and undergrowth under the lines and they will just cut them down if they think they are to big. I don't think they even need to tell when they are going to do it either, they just crack on.

    I wonder if the edible part of the Sweet Gum tree isn't a fruit or seed/nut but a syrup?
    It has amazing autumn colours and maple shape leaves.
    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck maybe it's a duck?
    Of course I know nothing about trees but just a thought 🙂

    With avocado trees you sometimes need male and female. Hass is Type A so can be self fertile. They still benefit from a Type B nearby. It also depends on day and night temperatures. I only know about where I live in Australia. Just ask the nursery.

    You are near to serra da estrela, and almost there, the wind freezes. Worst if not raining.
    Well, you're advised.
    In villages like you passed nearly your land, the villagers have fireplaces to staying worms.
    Pick the wood you can and keep it protected from the rains.
    Suggestion, erect a tent in the old-style american natives, and in the center, a smoker conduct to exaust de smoke from fireplace.
    If you need clothes for the winters, and you are open to using used clothes, try in Castelo Branco. Certainly, the municipality services will indicate where to get it.
    From what I've seen in your published videos, you worked in the UK with a garden position. If I'm wrong, sorry. If not wrong, you know what the best month to plant the trees.
    Timber can be hopefully for the wheels stuck on the mud.
    Wish you to stay warm day and night, preferentially. Repito, there the nights, probably snowing
    ice.in another and wisely, enjoying snowboarding in your land.
    Some trees need to be protected, covering with plastic bags per example. In that case I'm not an expert.
    See you and Barn in the next video.

    You often show what a close bond you and Barney have. But being off the lead at the castle was a very poor decision on your part. Every dog owning UA-camr I watch , without exception, keep their dogs on leads when in similar conditions. Both of you are extremely nice and I love your videos.
    I know I will get loads of criticism for raising this but even the best trained dogs die in unnecessary accidents. He ignores you to chase sheep you admitted so that proves total control via commands does not apply. Thanks for sharing.
