Beijinos e abraços,
Carissa, Iwan, Frankie & Albi
Carissa, Iwan & Frankie decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month they were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call their new home. We picked up Albi the cat along the way. Subscribe to follow our journey as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.
I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY...I'VE NEVER SEEN A MORE GOODLY DOG IN MY LIFE THAN LITTLE DIOGO...IT SEEMS HE TRIES EVERY DAY TO PLEASE YOU...HE WANTS TO BE A PART OF EVERYTHING YOU DO...A MORE THANKFUL RESCUE DOG YOU'VE NEVER SEEN...AND BLESS ALBI...WHAT A SWEETIE...OH MY GOODNESS, WHERE'S JOAO?...90 F. AGAIN TODAY HERE IN VANCOUVER...🙏ALL THE BEST, CARISSA & IWAN...;)
maybe you guys should make a water tower. Then you have water all day long and no longer need a pump if you are no longer allowed to use it.
A REAL DAY IN OUR LIFE. Living Off Grid as Digital Nomads . Interesting and engaging video. I support your video. Watched the video on Aug 18, 2022 very like. Thank you so much
Diogo and sausage get along so well…makes me feel good when I see your videos of them! 🌀💚🌀
We were surprised how well Frankie has adapted as she doesn’t really care much for other dogs, so happy how much they hang out together 💛
You two seem very happy with your homestead. I hope you continue to enjoy it. The animals truly make a house a home.
Peaceful, beautiful, slow and calming! Keep the videos coming!
Your cat at 9:00 was in an incredible position! Almost felt like he was doing some yoga. 🙂
Think the channel should now be called "Frankie and Diogo Off Grid". That little fella has moved in and is now become a huge part of your lives...🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰
Wow … I never knew they did a ‘Stretch Armcat’ …. Amazing stretchability 😃
Many years ago, we worked with a lovely, older Portuguese gentlemen who introduced us to figs. Love them put they are too expensive to buy here. Appreciate your videos and makes me thankful we have many conviences we take for granted.
I am starting to be sooo thankful for the convience of the water out of the tap, we are so lucky the water we have in North Wales, it rained all last night proper Welsh rain that waters the garden. 🌱🥀🍃🌧
I enjoy your video, so calming. UA-cam channels are my escape. Hi from Florida, USA. Right now there's not much calm here, sometimes I really fear for our democracy. You are very blessed. Thank you for your hard work bringing the world soom joy.
Yes, Portugal is so peaceful & detached from the insanity that is America right now. Prayers....❤️
Lovely. João on his morning inspection prowl, happy Sausage, bouncy Diogo, cuddly Albi... sweet how they congregated with Iwan first thing in the a.m. Your electrolyte and berry cordial water looks delish, as did your supper 😋! 11pm walkies in the summer are 🤙🏼.
I enjoy your musical intermezzos ..
Awesome video
Loved the night walk
Thank you for sharing 😁
I've been watching your channel I love you little dog you guys are great or should I say both dogs thank you so much for rescuing that other little dog keep up the good work you're doing well I hope that you love you us striving for
Love watching your Videos, thanks for sharing your Journey, it's so beautiful your Land.
💯+ for your garden and all of the accomplishment’s you two have achieved. Figs are the best.
Yippee for the jumpers! Iv been enjoying putting mine on, and cosy socks in the evening, loving the cooler days here now, I’m missing the winter… And yes fingers crossed it’s the last heatwave…. As for the new T-shirt design I love the new addition of colour and gouache is my fave paint as it has such a lovely earthy texture so will translate your favourite things to grow nicely I think x
Another nice relaxing video.
Thank you for sharing your day, Carissa and Iwan❤️❤️
The filming is amazing . Love how you film bits close up .
What a lovely mid-week surprise ☺️🥰
How’s Diogo’s leg doing? 🐕
Thanks!
D-dog must be so happy you rescued him.
I seldom watch vids again , yes i'm spoiled.
Brilliant shots and editing 👍👏🙏
All the babies cooked out in the heat like ours are. Your garden is looking good. I love your illustrations. Maybe you cN print and frame dome for your cabin. It is a lot of work to live off grid let alone be a you tube. You guys are awesome. Best wishes.
Very calming video. Diolch!
From Cardigan West Wales x
Thank you for this lovely day 🙏❤️
Just discovered you, will now binge watch 😁🦋💜
Oh, so you designed the logo for Ok Portugal? That's great. I'm also subscribed to their channel. Did you also design the logo for Luke and Sarah?
No I didn’t do theirs, I love it though!
Thank you for sharing
Loved it
Love and Rainbows
your drawings are beautiful ❤
Thank you so much 😀
if you want more hot water.... store the all ready hot water in an esky or such and redo?
Such a lovely day.
I love your illustrations, your line is beautiful! Also don't know which to choose, color or black and white - both styles are working very well. Looking forward to see the final result. Bom fim-de-semana!
It’s cooler here 22c better than last weeks 32c, my figs are also ready but all the olives dropped during the heat wave. We had proper rain last night, 1st time in months, south east Wales is trying to convince me I live in Portugal😂
the walk at 11pm is just lovely and magic!
I agree with you on hoping it will be the last heat wave of this summer. Unfortunately, it seems it will go on through September... Keep cool!
Hi from Halifax uk , loving the videos 👍
Thanks Rossalyn ☺️
Just fantastic !! I'm going to try a night time one this week. 😊
Ur animals have got the right idea in the heat, just chilling ❤🤣😂
Hi from Australia 💙
Hi Jackie ☺️
Hello from Patagonia argentina!
I love your "babies"
See you in the next video🙋
Hahahaha! Is it an evening walk or an evening feast? I love figs as well, but I can’t eat them when they get too ripe. The fermented taste turns me off them. During fig season I spend every afternoon at the tree picking figs before the parrots and cockatoo’s get to them.
Your garden is gorgeous !! And the grapes look like they are coming along.. I'm hoping my tomatoes will get red before frost.. It snowed Sept 9th here last year ...oh noooo. Here's my 5 ft tomato plant 💕

Thanks for your serenity. ❤
Hello all 👍🏻
Hi Sandy ☺️
love to see your videos thank you.
lovely video, and super interesting :)
Very nice & relaxing video.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you guys. Doggie 's love.
I was sooooo jealous when you went looking for ripe figs..... having lived in Greece for many years there is nothing better than a fresh ripe fig, and the black figs do start fermenting on the tree. If you can gather enough figs to make jam it's just as delicious. We have to bring water from a well for cooking and drinking our water being near the sea is undrinkable. Hey ho you can't have everything butcwe have put a solar hot water system an 80liter is only around 300Euros for the tank and 1 large panel, if you can get one of those square tanks high enough to give you pressure it should work ok I'm sure the price must be similar in Portugal.
Fresh figs are the best! I’ve been squeezing them everyday for a month now 😆 so glad they’re finally ready. I think we have a potential hot water solution on the horizon, we shall share soon. Could you get a special filter to make your water drinkable?
@@FrankieOffGrid we can get a filter system but at way over 1000 euros and needing new filters every few weeks we decided to carry on bringing water from the village taps after nearly 20yrs it's just part of daily life now. We do have water from the town but we live high up and pressure is too low so it goes into a large concrete tank and we pump it to the house. The tank isn't nice inside i think it will have high bacteria content so we mix it with the well water that is salty so that our bill isn't too high it's ok to wash in and water the garden.
Berkey water filters is a great option.
Check them out.
@@silvao6589 will do 😊 thanks
Hi from Porto.
Olá Manuel ☺️
That was fun!
☺️it was kinda interesting to film a whole day, especially as each one can be so different
I always love your videos and I get so excited when you put out a new one. By the way, have you watched Ted Lasso? If you haven’t, I highly recommend it. It’s a wonderful show.
Thank you so much for that recommendation! We both love it!
Thanks from soggy, wintery New Zealand. Loved this one.
I have been wondering how Diogo is recovering. Will he always limp or is he still healing? He found heaven with you all. x
Clarissa and Iwan , please consider looking to the climate benefits of the island of Madeira , no scorchimg heat ! Sea climate , eternal spring !
We really want to visit. Maybe one day haha
Great as usual xx
Great video 👍
Ewan looked alittle tipsy at the end of the football it made me chuckle 🤭
Love the content . From Tokyo
Thanks Marcus! We love Tokyo! We miss it!
Can you show us more of your work? Is there a portfolio publish on the internet?
Hi Rui, I’ve added my portfolio to the video description if you wanted to see a sample of my commission work ☺️
Do you encounter wild creatures on your night walks? Like wild pigs or other animals? Thank you showing and sharing your life with us! I enjoy seeing and experiencing Portugal with you both!
No not so much. We see more on our early morning walks, the river has otters but we haven’t seen them yet, just evidence of them 😅 the boar don’t tend to get to close.
Just realised I hadn't subscribed! I've been watching all of ur episodes and forgot to subscribe 🤦♀️🤣😂 my excuse is I watch u on tv, but I get notifications on my phone. At least I remembered to like 🤣😂🤣😂 😘
Beijinhos 😘 de Lisboa ❤️
If you eat with nutritional awareness and reach out on youtube , you've got a good thing goin.
Love watching you two. Clarissa, what do you charge for a logo design?
Albi would be happy to cuddle with Carissa all day, wouldn't she? sweetie🐈
Ive never tried fig
Fresh ones are absolutely delicious if you ever come across them. The story of the fig wasp is fascinating also!
Perhaps you could buy a small kiddie pool for the pets
They have one gifted to them, no-one appeared keen to get in it a few videos ago
I don't know how u managed to get plants growing in this heat
Hey! I know who has "OK PORTUGAL", although i can't remember who. Congrats on designing it. Is it Indie Projects?
Your animals know how to deal with the heat!! Sleeeep.
No the logo is for Ken who’s channel is called OkPortugal
Was surprised to see Iwan watching football on his phone and not laptop, any reason for that?
Also surprised no to see solar panel cables protected from the dogs
Carissa was editing on my laptop 😂
Re the cables, we’re working on a way of attaching them to the roof, otherwise it’s virtually impossible to totally dog proof them so we try to make sure we’re keeping an eye on them.
@@FrankieOffGrid Run them through plastic waste pipe?
I think he’d still get through them you know, he’s responding well to training and hasn’t gone near them or any other cable since, fingers crossed he doesn’t get them before we get the panels on the roof 😅
Fantastic vlog guys, shower scene could have been better🤣🤣
Yes it could of featured Frankie 😜
👌🏻🌼👌🏻
More people subscribe please to these wonderfull youtubers ! They are called Iwan , Clarissa and frenkie , the dachshund .
❤️
👏👍🌟🍀💐
🌸🌸🌸🍻🍻
LOOL yes your gender tends to talk with their hands :)
Frankie off grid ,it’s all a lie , should be loveable couple of grid
I watch many relocation semi off grid UA-cam videos and the reoccurring theme is no children . If you had kids would you do the same thing ?
You’re right, if we’d had kids before we came I’m not sure we would have made the same decision, now that we’re here I don’t think it would stop us in the future.
Ps check out The Newbys and our Portugese Homestead who both have kids
