    Another entertaining segment of your life in Portugal. You certainly seem to have fun whilst improving the water course around the fields. Not only should your water fall look pretty but it will also add another sound to your daily life. You certainly seem to have had a few days of gnarly weather, don’t think I’ve seen the trees sway back and forth so much before! ❤

    You made me laugh out loud! Bikini in winter, sitting in ice cold water scooping it out into a bucket! How about you just find a smaller bucket, tie a rope on it, stand on the bridge and bring up the water. Nice and dry and toasty warm! You still have a way to go to get all the ditches cleaned out, but I hope it makes a big difference to the garden beds! Love the waterfall, great idea, and it looks lovely, can’t wait to see the water flowing through it!

    Omaigudness, G, your waterfall feature is ADORABLE. I'm looking forward to seeing the water babble through 🤩.
    Awww, Andrew, sorry your trusty tractor got a bit mired in the wet earth. What you got done with your growing plots prior to the mud mayhem looks great. I can see why you two were working so hard to be ready for Autumn/Winter planting. Ah, your free! 🚜👨🏻‍🌾👩🏻‍🌾

    Hi guys, nice project you got there! When we moved offGrid farm, I bought 3 electric Makita 40v tools. A drill, a side grinder and a impact hammer with a little spade as attachment. This impact drill became my all time favourite tool for any digging job. It makes life soooo much easier!! I can only recommend it to anyone who is willing to do any digging jobs himself. My pickaxe as no use at all😜 Keep being diligent!

I did have the kettle on and a plate of cakes awaiting your arrival, but sadly, could only hear the sound of the shovel on the rock, a bit more digging and I think you may have come up through my kitchen. A lovely show of unity, strength in your teamwork and terrific banter. Loved it all and thanks for sharing. Pauline

    Crataegus - hawthorn - trees/bushes have incredibly sharp thorns and the tiny tips break off just uder the skin which is even worse. As you only have one tree it was a good idea to remove it.

    You can build a hand crank with a rope that pulls up the container of water, next to your bridge. That would prevent your leaning over and awkward part of getting the water and not having to lift the bucket full of water.

    Maybe it´s a good thing that the bucket doesn´t go deeper down. That way you avoid getting it full of sediments from the bottom of the stream.👍

    Why don't you create a pond in the deepest part? That way you'll have water in the summer and you can put fish in it for fishing.

    That is a hawthorn or Crataegus Monogyns. Very good for hedging as there are thousands of miles of it in the U.K. but don't eat the berries, the birds will do that.

    What a shame you cut down the hawthorn tree. They don't drop their spikes. The young leaves, flower buds and flowers are all edible. The berries are commonly used to make jellies and ketchup.

    Another aspect of moving to Portugal is the treatment of dogs, in my area there are many dogs that are bound with 2m chains, in many instances fed once a day and the dogs howl with frustration at their predicament, I'm in the process of befriending the neglected dogs on the neighboring property in order to try and shut them up at night. its a slow process. In short if you ARE INTOLERANT OF DOG ABUSE AND don't like loud dog noise at all times of day ad night don't come to Portugal. SERIOUSLY.

    apologies Ive come across them or something of their family in the past and learned to avoid them at all costs but Im sorry don't know their polite name.
    While G was digging and literally right before Andrius cracked the kettle joke I expected Crocodile Dundee to pop out of the hole and say "G'day mates do ya wanna cold beer?"
    Ok now onto your kind continuing education of the city boy, would you mind explain why the chooks like to sit down and shuffle around in the dirt ive seen it a few times and always wondered about it..
    OK at 19 minutes Andrius has an umbrella and a hat and no hair, yet G has no umbrella or hat... 😂😂
