    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 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.

    • @FrankieOffGrid
      @FrankieOffGrid  2 роки тому +1

      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?

    • @denisemastromina7821
      @denisemastromina7821 2 роки тому +1

      @@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.
