Am I missing something...I am not able to find "The Newbys Explore."
Nevermind I found it and subscribed😅
Why don't you have the Travel Beans stay at your place when you go for your first travel? It would be great for both of you!
When I heard the name of the new channel, all I could think of...? You sticking a go-pro on Crusoe/Sawyer and sending them out into the surrounding bushes! 😂
I followed you right away the other day last video when you said about your new channel
The best part of beautiful Portugal is that the Newby's are there to share it with all of us! We are so lucky! John the deck is fab and Tara's "woman's touch" with the barrels rings really makes it truly interesting and lovely! Sound to me like the travel Beans are thinking about making Portugal their new home! That will sure make things interesting and fun! Omg that river is so beautiful 😮😮😮😮!! ❤❤❤🐔🐝🏠🥀🌺🐇🐎
We love sharing these things with you Linda, your support means the world. We would love to have the Travel Beans in Portugal, how exciting! Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
You are very very lucky indeed Tara and John. I can just imagine the two little brothers running down from the garden to have a dip in during hot summer days when they are a bit bigger. Very beautiful piece of property.
The Outdoor seating area looks great and cozy with magnificent scenic views. Amazing job John ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
The outside seating area is an art in itself. " Beautiful! " John, you're so clever!"
The stone table with benches would look lovely with stone steps leading to the garden, as a centre point were John stepped. It would frame that area perfectly..
Tara- I could feel the coldness when you first dipped into your newfound swimming area! It felt delicious, right? I am amazed, too, at the speed that the two of you made an abandoned 3 acre piece of land into a paradise! Kudos to you!
It was very cold indeed Merry haha but so refreshing at the same time. Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
I did do it 45 years before you I left London for austria we went with no place to live with 3 children and not much money not forgetting a new language ...we did it all got lovely places to live all fluent in german 7 grandchildren with good jobs ..living in a beautiful peaceful land enjoying the beautiful happy family life
I love your Portugal Homestead….the both of you are such hard workers! It shows w/ the special builds…..absolutely tranquil tree rest lookout! Gosh, it’s so wonderful! May you have many great times w/ your boys & extended families & friends! May God keep shining His light & love to you all & your beautiful home! 🤗👏🏻
It’s beautiful loved watching the build❤
Mr. Newby, a house is never finished as you know. I hope you give yourselves plenty of credit for having transformed your lovely home at light speed. If you keep up at this pace you will have it all done soon.
Thank you for this lovely comment friend. Your support means so much to us ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Loved the video❤ but the best part was getting to watch the boys. They are so darn cute and being a grandma it give me so much joy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YOUR NEWLY FINISHED IS A DELIGHTFUL HANGOUT--ENJOY FOR YEARS TO COME.
We are so happy with the result Maggi. Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Lovely river! Your deck area is just perfect - organic and functional! Thanks for taking us along!
It is the perfect little spot Jenae. Thanks so much for watching friend ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Fantastic roof at the decking area- inspirational- V roof linked to a W roof WOW! You don’t make it easy on yourself. Brilliant🙏
Such a lovely surprise! Since you’re in the mountains it might not be much warmer in summer!
I’m enjoying this episode so much watching my two favourite UA-cam family!!!!! together again😍😘 And the finished deck is gorgeous!!! What an amazing view day and night!!!
so beautiful, the walk down to the river, you live in the most beautiful area i think & i love how there are wild lavenders & other herbs & flowers growing everywhere;
loving the deck & you will get it totally finished eventually, all the major work is done & you can enjoy it for now; was just looking at your beautiful potted roses & thinking nasturtiums would look lovely spilling out over the edge of the pots too, (plus you can eat them) for a bit of colour; man, look at the views you have there! a stone kitchen, eh? bit ambitious but would be a stunner like all of your projects, just be sure to get help with the heavy stuff next time so you don't injure yourself
i so love this show & thoroughly enjoy how you are managing to live mostly self sufficiently, have been on my own journey in putting garden beds in again
see, you do have a purpose for the little houses, they make great guest accommodations, i still think it a shame to pull them down but kind of look forward to see what you do anyway
not sure if i'll be watching your other channel, sounds like fun but not a great fan of travelling
thanx so much for sharing
Just can’t help loving that gorgeous little boy ❤❤
Hi Tara, you were showing your friends the deck build out on the lawn and you mentioned your friend had sent you a bell chain…….i have something akin to that, from Vancouver Island at the Wickaninnish In in British Columbia, Canada. Be sure and visit there one day! Anyway, we have a rain chain! Its design is to catch the rain-pour and splash it out enough that the dirt of the ground does not wash away! What a lovely idea. Our garden center at home carries them now, so I have several. Wizard!
Amazing Virginia. Thanks so much for sharing that and for your support ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
Ahhhh, the metal rings and the roses! Good job all!❤
Your deck is really beautiful John and Tara love the decor also. The boys look as if they enjoy it too. I do hope that you will put some kind of preservative on that wood. Would hate to see it rot because of moisture😢😢😢😊😊❤
Hi you🎉 the kids are growing fast, lovely......what a find this swimming pool🥳🥳 and almost in your backyard.
I am curious for the other UA-cam canal 📺🎥 and videos, see you Friday👋🎈
Love what you have done with the outdoor kitchen by the lower grassed area for the boys to play on. and the pond - tht seemed like a long walk but you sy it's not even a 1/2 hour from the kitchen and it is on your property - I enlarge the video on my screen and I'm in another world. Never picture Portugal to be like this. Looking forward to the new adventures coming up.....Love mla
The deck has turned out absolutely beautiful. I see it as a place where many beautiful memories are going to be made, a place of peaceful sanctity and also many a fun filled getogether with family and friends.
The grass too is looking fabulous. Well done.
Nice. All of it. Great build, decor, views, camera work, scenes, guests...! Well done. Looking forward to the new channel and adventures. Keep it coming 💞🤗
Thank you for this lovely compliment Tessa ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
WOW WOW What a beautiful place you made out of this property love everything about it,❤❤ you 2 are amazing your boys are so sweet
Our parents use to do ❤ the same with us walk to a beautiful place like that you are lucky to enjoy nature keep up the positive life❤🙏
Love, love, love the deck.
@thenewbys I have a great idea for your ring barrels placing stain glass with mixed colors so that the sun can reflect through it I think that would be amazing my idea 🌈
Your deck is beautiful.
Thanks friend ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Oh my Crusoe is such a happy boy 😊 Sawyer watches every move Crusoe makes I think he will be just as brave. Can’t wait for your new channel ❤
Thanks so much Janet, Sawyer is so excited to be able to do things with Crusoe now. Your support means so much to us ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
As you are branching out to include your travel! Can I suggest that you go to countries near you? Travels to Switzerland with children! Family friendly activities in Norway, Finland, Spain?
Southern France?! Organic farms!!
I am going to Southern France and am wondering what organic foods and wine are available?
Then you can come home and regroup and go out again! ❤😊😊❤😊❤
Q&A: Who will look after the chickens and garden while you are traveling?
I love the rose up on the deck! This will be beautiful in summer! ❤😊
Love the barrel rings and the who deck transformation
How fabulous ………what a brilliant job John has done on the outdoor seating area, love the roof the W really sets it off.
The river walk was lovely…..
The deck turned out wonderful! Love all the details and the metal hoops! Once again, great job!
Absolutely awesome deck. Well done. Again The Newbys Rocked it. And how adorable was it when John picked up the boys and walked them out to play. ❤❤❤❤
You all are such a beautiful family! It’s wonderful how dad can walk away from Crusoe and be sure he’ll be ok 😊 congratulations 👏🏼 on the deck finally getting done! So you didn’t treat the wood for rain or rot? What a story to tell !
Are you going to put more grass on that dirty area!!
Thank you so much friend. We haven't treated the wood just yet, John is still talking about it to his friends in Finland. And yes we are putting more grass on that area. Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
I love the deck and lawn area. It is so beautiful. Your family is going to love the relaxing space as you build wonderful memories together 💕
Thanks Cindy ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Outstanding 🎉
How wonderful! The deck/patio is beautiful …..be very proud. The river and swimming hole is such a wonderful thing to have so closeby. More to enjoy.
It looks amazing in the night light and so cosy for get togethers with friends. Well done to you both. Xxx
You are very creative, it looks stunning!❤👍
Thanks so much friend ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Love, love, love the seating area. Tara, the little touches you put in the seating area look amazing. I noticed the barrel rings right away. When I saw the wind chimes I was thinking how I could sit there with a book and read the day away. The light reminded me of a glorious sun set with it's orange glow. What a beautiful video for you all to have as memories together. Be safe and have a great day!
So glad to see you doing a bit better with your shoulder. Beautiful job well done.
Thank you for all your support and concern Sherrie ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Slip-on water shoes for you all, best for those rocks..Hello from Southern California ❤
Your place looks so beautiful - especially the lawn and the outdoor seating/entertainment area - very smart ! Well done !
Thanks Hannelie ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
I'm sure that somewhere in the future there's going to be a deck down by the river project. Lovely watching you guys do life in Portugal.
Oh my! So beautiful….just when I think I can’t love Portugal any more you do this!! What a treasure find indeed. The patio is also so lovely, a true work of art. I also want to comment on the lovely birds calls I hear every episode, been meaning to every time I make a comment. It just adds to the beauty and peace of your extraordinary home. Love the boys….all 3… nothing sweeter than little boys and their inquisitive natures. Crusoe has it tied up right now but in no time he will have major competition from Sawyer😊 love and hugs to all. Can’t wait until we meet again!🤗👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏👶🏼👶🏼👶🏼🏊♂️🏝️
Thank you friend, the birds here are incredible! We are so thankful to have them sing us songs everyday ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
So happy for you! (From Mississippi)
It's the little touches that things like the barrel rings bring to your projects that help knit all the new builds together so well 👏
That walk looks so idyllic and to be practically on your doorstep is just magical! We live about 30mins drive from Dartmeet on Dartmoor and some of the walks there are beautiful - Sitting with my feet in the cold running water of The Dart is just bliss! (Maybe not now it's October though! 🥶)
Looking forward to watching the Q&A's on your new channel and TravelBeans!
*Hugs * to you all! xx
Magnificent job,John and Tara. The deck is so unique. Hard work and perseverance ❤️❤️
/wow!!!!! The deck is gorgeous!!!! The little bits and pieces turned out to be totally amazing! I love it!
Your little home is really coming into its own, isn't it? I am so proud of you guys, like you were my own kids. What an amazing family. Also, why didn't you make a whole video bragging about my lil one starting to walk...my roommate and I have been screaming every time we see him walking...Great Job Sawyer!!!!
It is coming into it's own friend, we are so excited for it all. Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
hahaha, I just noticed my name on here isn't showing. My name is Penny and I make every person I hang out with watch your channel. We usually sit around talking about Crusoe, but now Sawyer is our new focus since he is walking...my roommate said hey, why didn't they tell us little feller is walking...hahahahahaha@@TheNewbys
Well done! Such a lovely setting you are creating for a fullfilling life.
Thanks Mike ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
It’s amazing the way you used the land and what your farm brig to make such beautiful and great space. It’s wonderful ❤
Thank you so much Maria! We love sharing these things with you ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
I know it was a LOT of work and physical pain to build the deck but it is just lovely. If I lived there I'd spend my days on it.
Blessed❤
Looking forward to the Explore site. Ken Zim
Such a wonderful river 👍

Kalimera gang !!
So nice seeing the pippi longstocking terass with its funny roof !!! The barrel rings is a splendid idea,Tara !!👍And the lamp is so nice in the evening too!!
All and all you have done a lot,and a lot remains,but a homestead is never really finished,since you two grows with it,and find new projects over

Love it! Definitely a dream guys
Quick question the bazil you took a cutting off of did it grow? After you planted it after it rooted is it doing well?
You have got a proper large tropical paradise garden they’re .
We do indeed friend! Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
A little fern would look so sweet in the chicken on the little ledge!!
Are you still putting an outdoor kitchen above the patio?
Hi Patrice, yes that is the plan. We have other projects to focus on first though. Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Lucky you...beautiful spot!💙
We are very lucky indeed Jill. Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Life is a work in progress. 😉 The deck looks great. You can always add some hinges on the round table top and add toy storage if you need it. I notice the wood is getting mildew, will you be sealing the wood with something to help repell that? Or is that not really an issue? Just curious. 😊
Thanks so much friend, creating storage under the table top is also a great idea! Thanks for sharing friend. The mildew isn't a real issue just yet ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Pozdrawiam Waszą całą rodzinkę z Polski 😊 robicie Panstwo wspaniala pracę, dzieci cudowne🥰❤

Will you be tearing down the house you currently live in and build back on that location?
Yes that is the plan friend. Thanks so much for watching ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Great videos, but I was wondering where your guests sleep, since you say you are all sleeping in one room?
Hi Pamela, they sleep in the stone house which is right next to the main house on the property ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
I miss the song you use to play at the end of your videos 😢😢😢
If you are too busy to go away, can you put the odd day aside to explore different parts of Portugal, places off the beaten track
We would love that friend ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
❤❤❤
Crusoe wearing a backwards cap. Where did he possibly learn that ❤️😂
From the one and only John Newby 😂😂
Hola me gustaría saber de dónde compras tus cosas diarias si puedes poner la web o enlace y si te dan algún descuento para la gente que hos siguen.
Hi Inma. Our everyday things we buy from Lidl, Continente and the local markets. John gets a lot of his tools and materials from the local shops and Max Mat ☺️🙏🏼
Hi guys, Is that property you were walking through derelict and for sale?
Hi Scott, we are not too sure if it is for sale or not. Thanks so much for watching friend ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
sweethearts, could you please tell me about the really nice "Newbys" Song at the intro or extro... i love this song, but who sang it ? Love, kim from Germany
Hi Kim, yes of course it is Magic Land by Reigo Vilbiks ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
You’re wrong about the weather in the UK at the moment it’s been hot! 25’ forecast for Saturday. Global warming 😮
JUST DO IT... ALEX WILL BE A GREAT INOVATER
The decking looks absolutely fabulous John. You have done an amazing job and design with the decking and seating area. Tars you are looking so well and the boys are thriving and so cute xx
Yet another beautiful video. I know I have said this before but you keep exceeding our expectations. The kitchen/eating area is so imaginative. The different roofs turn a lovely seating area into an absolutely fantastic place. It is just magical. Thankyou for these wonderful glimpses in your life. We feel so privileged.
Thanks so much Pam. Your support means so much to us ✈️🫘😁🏊🏻♀️❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Beautiful walk 😮and views is peaceful 😮and the boys are happy enjoying time 🕰️ in the river 😮
Yes! It’s gorgeous. Perfect on those scalding hot days! If your neighbors wouldn’t mind, would you share a bit about the stone houses and property you walked by? They’re so beautiful.
