    We remain committed to provide our content regularly, and of late, to increase the frequency of our vlogs. We have and continue to receive, many kind requests, to send gifts, or in some way help us financially with our channel.
    We have given this a great deal of thought. Whilst 'Patreon' and 'go fund me' are out of the question for us, we feel the 'buy me a coffee platform' (or for us, a cup of tea!) would be a great way to do this, especially in light of its ease of use and non ongoing commitment.

    A mirror for the geese. How cute? I still feel so bad for you both losing your chickens. Time comforts all.
    Peter, you always impress me with your carpentry skills. The barn looks fantastic and, more importantly, more stable. Don't worry about the light in this video. I didn't mind it.❤

    Just love your videos. Peter I have learned so much about how to look and think about a project before making a plan of attack/solution. Of course, watching your wood working skills put in use is always a treat. And, you get a project like that done so quickly! Glad to hear the survivors are recovering too.. A country dweller myself, sadly it happens more frequently around our area despite our best efforts. Bears, weasels, fox, raccoons - bears the worst - often total destruction of the coop n fencing as well. Do feel for both of you. Thank you for sharing your talents and beautiful home and life with us..

    What a great job! You are a natural born carpenter. You have that analytical mind to figure out any problem that you are faced with, and make the best of what you have. That last bit was hilarious with the goose preening herself/himself in front of the mirror as if looking to see if he/she looks good!

    Another fantastic job Peter, I could sit all day and watch you make things, I think it is very wise not to rush to get more chickens at the moment, it's still a big shock to you both. hope you haven't seen any more pine martens? Take care both of you until next time, see you soon xx

    Hi Peter! I’ve said it many times before and will say yet again. Your work is exceptional! Especially as you’re using recycled materials. And even though recycled you still add just those small touches to make it look great. Like the framing of the windows and the chamfering of the door lock block. It does give it a “Peter did this finish”🙌. Awesome work buddy. 👍
