    As you might know, I watch every episode every week. Your YT channel is one of my favorites. It has everything one could want. Positive family. Adult collaboration. Wonderful parenting. Landscaping. Gardening. Design. Building. Community. Culture. Great filming and editing, including plot, pacing, and character. All the while demonstrating honesty, love, cooperation, perseverance, foresight, intelligence, hardwork, play, gratitude and courage. I love how much you guys have accomplished. And in such a short time! Wow! I love getting to know your family. Wishing you continued blessings.

    A wonderful year you have had with John’s mum coming and then Tara’s parents coming as well and the two most memorable episodes ever were the 300 year old Olive Tree being planted in your turning circle and the bees coming to your farm. You are my most favourite couple on UA-cam with your two wonderful little boys and of course Obi your lovely dog. God Bless.❤️❤️❤️

    For me as a long time watcher of this Vlog the one thing it does for me is remind me of my dad, every time i see John with a hammer and nails in hand i am reminded of him. He was a Builder/Carpender/Handyman like John, and he spent his life in countryside in rural New South Wales in Australia. John reminds me so much of him..........

    What a special episode...You need to pat yourselves on the back for what you have achieved. I am continually amazed and enchanted at how brave you are..how you think big ...and how you just do it! As well as how you explore. What a wonderful way you are enabling Crusoe and Sawyer and making them so much a part of everything that you do. Lucky little boys, having you, Tara and John, as their parents. You are super stars.

And on top of all that, you’ve been an absolute joy to tag along with while you’ve been doing it all! Hugs and love to the five of you (can’t forget Obi) 😁👏🏻😆👍🏻🤗🥰😁

    Wow this episode has brought happy tears down my cheeks!! It is great to watch/share your dreams unfolding seeing the hard work you's have done to lay the foundations for your New home. I realised during this episode how much you's have helped me and how far I have come myself after breast cancer surgery August 23, while having my op the entire back of my own home was being knocked out having 5 RSJ'S to support the house as walls came down to extend for an open plan living, kitchen dining room. Discovering your TheNewbys Channel was a game changer for me it helped motivate/reassure me to get up and start doing the decorating and stuff during and after the building works finished, your lovely family/dog/parents and projects kept me occupied while recovering an waiting for radiotherapy. I so much enjoyed seeing your lovely boys involved /enjoying each project you's began I love the bee's and olive trees and wish you all well Portugal is a better country with you all living there!!

    HAPPY SUNNY SUNDAY NEWBY FAMILY, dear CLOSE friends Tara and John, been with you almost 3.5 years started when you were travelling in your 1st rebuilt van with Crusoe only a few weeks old to Scotland. WHAT A JOURNEY!!! With Safari travelling with you through your EXPLORING Europe, seeing the birth of Sawyer and soon after you moving into your Newby farm. WHAT A YEAR THIS HAS BEEN, AS JOHN SAID SPECTACULAR TO WATCH. Hardships for sure, hard work, lengthy at times but so rewarding when you look how far you have come and the successful accomplishments. THE GREATEST JOYS SEEING YOUR CRUSOE AND SAWYER GROWING AND ENJOYING YOUR ADVENTURE. 300 years old olive tree, bee keeping, chicks now hatching and who can forget your puppy Obi joining the fun. ENJOYING THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOURS, THANK THE LORD YOU CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS. Waiting to see your finished Stone House and the next MAJOR project in your lives. Bravo👏👏👏👏👏 you must be very proud of yourselves and HAPPY. Cheers to another great year. Hugs and kisses to you and ALL your friends who helped you in this year's journey.🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰👱👶🐶🐣🌲🌅🏡🇵🇹💓

    I started watching you when you bought the farm. What a magical place. John your yard and flower gardens are amazing. Tara, love your garden of vegetables and you learning to preserve it, also great. And two of the most beautiful boys ever. (along with mine of course ). My three children are all grown and I have 5 granddaughters. No more babies for them. Your boys have so much fun and are learning so much. Just love watching your Chanel and all your adventures.

    Many congratulations to you both I am stunned by how much you do and how far you have come in that time! Watching twice a week it hasn't really registered just how much you pack into an episode, I apologise. The crowning glory for me, is the wonderful old Olive tree looking as though it has always been there in pride of place. The garden developing, the chickens and Obi, the excitement of the Bee's and what can possibly fill the heart more to overflow than Crusoe and Sawyer together, Crusoe matching his pace on his bike to his little brothers sometimes stumbling gait or popping tomotos into Sawyers open mouth like a mother bird feeding her young? Always uplifting, always a delight. Thank you both so much.🌹

Sad to now have to wait for Wednesdays and Sundays but super happy to see how much you have accomplished so far on the farm. I must say the bee 🐝 project is definitely my favorite, can’t wait to see the honey ‘harvest’! Lots of love all the way from SA 🇿🇦 Hope you watched the rugby match last Saturday 😉
