1 Year ALONE Restoring an Abandoned Smallholding [timelapse]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2022
- Hi, we are Harriet and Mauro and in February 2021 we bought an abandoned smallholding in Castellón, Spain. In these videos we share our life as we restore and improve our little stone house, learn to grow and preserve our own food, and bring our 4 acres of farmland back to productivity.

This is how we were made to live. Fresh air, exercise, and hard work. The results...your healthy, happy, eating the best food, and loving nature. I feel like your land is smiling now.
I doubt you can have billions of people all living in the country like this. Also remember this area of Spain probably doesn’t have snow or extreme temperatures. How would you live like this in Canada?
@@wplains Native Americans did it🤷♀️
@@wplains The 'ideal' human condition definitely doesn't align with the way a lot of us are able to live, especially now that there are 8 billion of us, but that hardly means that those who are able to shouldn't. What point are you trying to make?
@@Lana.Lulu. lol would you like to live on the edge of subsistence like them? Freezing cold and barely eating? Even Europeans lived on the edge of survival in the 19th century.
Kkk llq'azz
This is what I want my life to be someday. Spending my time gardening, building things all on my own, and raising animals, instead of working 9-5 just to get by. Some days I feel like this is what my life was meant to be all along.
Beautifully said, I have felt that way most of my adult life.
The only meaning in life is getting through all the pain inherent in living. This is the best way to thrive.
I like modern living, but one day I do hope to convert a farm into a semi-modern house, and grow my own fruit tree's and stuff!
I know all you who read what I will say will not like it. But you can do this today! the only thing standing in your way is yourself. Look at this woman, she left everything that many would say "held them back" from doing it. YOu dont need to own land to live like this, WWOOF, volunteer, kibutz, so many options. In my life I have waited to do things only to wish i had done them sooner. If you truly want to live this way, just do it and figure it out later!
Do it.
why did I decide to watch this in the office? my colleagues are now staring at me weirdly because I'm literally crying over "We’re built to care about the world we inhabit and when we do love that world it loves us back and we feel happier and more at peace." That was beautifully said! I have loved every minute of this video :)
Move to nature tiana
@@Ryan-fosho I would really love to! 🥹
Watching this ALONE in my office and crying my eyeballs out. EVERY time watching these homesteads vids... haha. I think it is some kind of calling mother nature, calling us back to our roots.
@@lawlesslotski absolutely.
funny, i was very touched by that part too. Its heavy. Its truth. Its beautiful
When you 100% Stardew Valley but you still want MORE...
Love the farm, it's so cute! You're living the dream!
Oh, that is why this was recommended to me!
They're playing stardew irl, i'm too much of a cave gamer but I hope later on in life maybe I can achieve this, absolutely a life goal
This girl is a credit to her family, to herself and to 'youtube' - most of us only dream of doing the things she's done. I'm very envious!
All you need is a husband who will live with his parents for free and work to send you money.
@@pwnyboy1878 That is how most ppl around the world do it. Booting kids out at 18 is (was) predominantly an American concept. 😉
Why put UA-cam in quotes? It's not an imaginary concept, its been a thing for the last 17 years.
@@kng3785 Yeah I always thought it was quite silly that people here in the USA move out so young, it's just not a very sustainable thing economically speaking. If you're going to own a home you should prepare it for your kids to inherit. I know I'd do the same thing for my kids.
@@grubert3535 In the English language a title or name can also be shown in quotation marks. Sometimes it's used for showing that a brand or place name isn't the real thing. A car by Ford called a 'Mustang', for example, isn't a real Mustang (horse), it's car so one could put 'Mustang' in quotes. UA-cam is also a concept....it's not a tube, it's not you (or me), it's a brand, an imaginary concept...which someone, at some stage, invented as a name to represent a video sharing website. Quotes or no quotes are both correct.
The amount of time this took, the graft, the acquisition of knowledge, the sacrifice and the determination to make your vision come to fruition are so impressive and inspirational. You deserve the fruits of your labour. Marvellous!
graft?
@@davidroosa4561 it means hard work.
And money
Never fixed two pieces of wood together.....I bet that feels a lifetime away now. It's amazing what we can all do when we take a leap of faith...give it a go and dare to fail, which always leads to far more, which you've proved. Lots of happiness and mozzie free days to you both.
Thank you! 💚
The video title led me to believe she was working on this alone. But she seems to have had lots of help. Good for her and her friends.
What in the title was that? The word 'ALONE' ? Jokes. Click bait.
man that's how you live, I am so annoyed at myself for not doing something similar when I was younger and had a lot more energy. there is something so very human about pottering around your own place fixing things and gardening. Days feel meaningful and your mind feels like it is getting the proper exercise. If I could have my life over I would do something similar without a single second of hesitation.
You could start a small mushroom farm in your home if you've got limited space and mobility, you can't live your life over so think of something you can do NOW to fulfill yourself.
You will love the Medical Medium books for the energy you’ll gain back by applying some of the things he says and especially the Life Changing Foods book of his for the contact with food and nature. 💚
Container gardens are a great start. Herb gardens in little pots. It's never too late to start something. Just start small and you may find (you're) more capable of managing. Motivation grows energy too.
It's never too late my friend, start small with what you have and can do. You'd be surprised:)
I will do what you did not, to honor you and myself. Live your life well, brother. Or sister
What you have done is so inspiring, I am a 23 year old french girl and actually a little lost about the propose I want to give to my life. Your video is very inspiring and I recognize myself so much in your project ! I really hope being able to do the same one day in my one place I will have found in the nature 👏♥️
I am 43 years old russian man and I dream to live in same house in France or Spain.
And yes - I have experiense in building work ua-cam.com/video/HbwCW1q4EuY/v-deo.html
or welding work ua-cam.com/video/O1rpb6sqqJY/v-deo.html
Some mechanic skills ua-cam.com/video/bx3wy8R0s1s/v-deo.html
bthere are many places which accept volunteers to stay and help with chores around the farm. i used to live at 0
@@codysmith605 volunteer and owner is two different things :) Volunteer will never got residence permit in Spain. Thats why I interested how much money same house cost.
Check out the Corbieres, in France.
Hazlo!
My husband and I (late 60's) have just finished our rural dream in Brittany France! It also was a stone wreck! Best time of our lives! Well done!
Harriet, you are a great example for anyone who has let fear stop them from trying something new......that would probably include everyone at some point in life. Thanks for the inspiration! I will be sharing your story with my granddaughters.
What an incredible job. This is the first time I've seen any of your videos. How are you were able to get so much done in a year is mind-boggling. You've done a beautiful job be proud of yourself. And hooray for all your neighbors and Friends helping you and establishing a community helping each other bringing in the harvest and enjoying the fruits of your labor
Ah thank you!
My first time to view your channel also, you’re amazing beautiful person and proudly, I’m glad to know you. Looking forward to your channel. I live in Texas,USA. Much love to all.
Agreed. Fabulous job. X
⁴44⁴⁴⁴
Me too! Impressive!!
You're obviously a very intelligent young woman. Congratulations on the results of your hard work. I lived like this in my 30s in the 1980s. I'm too old to do a lot anymore but I have always truly believed in saving this planet for the future generations so I'm so pleased to see you paying it forward as well. 😊
i really love that people like you come to spain and make such a great job in the land, the rural areas of spain along the time are becoming more abandoned and people like you fix it ! thank you !
I actually started crying when you managed to fix the water. Beautiful place
This may sound somewhat strange, but watching this video gave me such intense homesickness. I've never lived in the country or on a farm, all my life I've been in cities across the US. Somehow this video feels like watching someone move into my childhood home, sad because you're no longer living there but happy for the new life it'll have. I'm not sure where these feelings came from but I thought I'd share, and wish you well. This place looks incredible and I hope to do the same in the future.
Wishing you all the best,
a stranger on the internet
Hi, it is possibly an innate feeling in each of us. Which has been lost owing to excessive industrialisation. We've lost how to work with the natural world. To many people the natural world has become the enemy of so called progress. Yet we must not fall into the trap of romanticising it. UK 🕊️
Hi, think not of yourself as a stranger anymore, welcome to the real world and soon to be humanities once again. Keep your vibrations high in love and kindness to others and God our source and creator will be within.❤much love to you @Grayson Priebe
stop being a poser
This is what people need. Not an apartment in a big city, but a farm that will teach them responsibility and hard work. Getting together with neighbors and learning by trial and error.
It would have to be a pretty small garden XD according to studies in 2013 there is 1.407 billion hectares of arable land in the world...and there is currently 7.98 Billion People which would give each person 0.176 hectares of land. that would be 134.16 ft x 134.16 ft if we could give everyone a perfect square. And that would be if we stole all the arable land from everyone that owned it and somehow magically had all the inarable land neatly placed next to each square for a house XD Lovely idea but its magical thinking.
@@LD-mu4eg Someday Jesus will come back and we’ll have a new earth. I’m sure it will be bigger;)
Not all people have the same needs. Sooner or later your needs will change. Aging, illness, disability, accident, disaster, will teach you that hard work isn't everything.
@@leschatsmusicale True, but hard work isn’t all you get from farming, you can learn so much more. And it’s all REAL.
I know not everyone can do it, but if they can, it’s worth it.
I like my apartment in the city. I don’t need to own wellies or do any digging
What a wonderful demonstration of what humans have learnt about our world, which only highlights what modern city life has taken away.
This is what I want for my life. Just a nice little farm in the countryside, a small house and a few animals. That’s all I need to be happy
I love how you tackled all these things you had no experience in! Bravo! God bless!
Restoring your water system is admirable! All of your renovations are wonderful!
What a lucky man he is to find such a beautiful, hard working and resilient lady.
You can hold your head high. Very impressed with your progress. Thanks for taking us along with you. May God bless you ❤
this is so wholesome. i’ve always been a “city person” but the idea of living in a place like this sounds so revitalizing to me. also, you’d pups are absolutely adorable! much love to you and this project 💞
פ
This has a very strong feel of "Stardew Valley" to me. Still amazing change in that 1 year of Restoration.
I found this and was extremely impressed with this young Lady and her working out everything so cheerfully....Her husband and family and friends support was helpful....she is an inspiration to everyone 💖💖
I literally cried at your comments at the end. This is how i want to live too and it brings me so much joy to see you working towards something so meaningful and achieving and receiving it. Keep it up!
We bought our 33 acres 11 months ago and our first task was to sink a bore , so we had unlimited water as we had been in a 3 year drought. Our place is booming now. Water assurance is so essential.
How'd you inherit 33 fricken acres? And don't give me some bs meritocracy "we worked hard" bootstraps argument.
@@danielanderson6933 lmfao
@@danielanderson6933 says “bought” ?
@@PNWlover ya. How'd he generate the income necessary to buy such an opulent purchase? "Oh you know I was just out about on the town and purchased 33 FRICKEN ACRES with my lunch money as you do"
@@danielanderson6933 perhaps they bought the land out in the middle of nowhere, perhaps they bought it in a country with cheap land, there are many possibilities. Calm down, there's no need to assume that everyone who achieves anything in life is a rich kid.
Harriet, thank you, thank you and thank you. I got very emotional when you started showing the before and after shots. And when you spoke about your biggest lesson, the waterworks started. I didn't quite know why I was crying so much (I still am as I write this). I've had this little dream inside, since I remember, As I'm getting older, I understand it's everything but little. A longing, a true longing. To build a life where being outside is the norm, surrounded by nature, with space to be. In life's truth, with its inevitable hardships. Thank you for sharing your journey
Aw thank you for your kind words Marina. I hope you can find a way to make your longing reality, somehow, some way 💚
It was emotional. I have had the luck to live a short time in spain, it brought back so many memories. its the endless love in the video that made me cry tho.
Marina, I am in agreement with that desire and pull to live amongst mother nature while giving back to her
I live on a council estate in England and I am starting to do mini homesteading. I randomly clicked on this vid and what an absolute beauty it is. Your comments at the end touched my heart for they are so pure and authentic. You're vibe is awesome, thanx for putting this one out there, it's truly a inspirational gift for all of us who are following along in your footsteps.
I deeply think this is one of the best videos on the net. Full of life, fresh air and energy! Beautiful. Wish you all the best Harriet and Mauro! xx
This is truly amazing! I teach the Farm to School program to my students and teaching them where their food comes from and to make healthy choices. We put in a Learning Garden and a small Orchard on the school grounds we take them outside and show them that anything is possible, we want them to start small little Victory Gardens We are a very large city public High school with over 2 thousand students. I am going to ask them to watch this video! Very inspirational!!! Thank you for all you do!
I would love to do this in Philadelphia!
Nancy well done, great to hear progress is being made.
Are you In Berkeley btw? I know they do at some campuses in the past
This girl is some kind of Wonder Worker / Miracle Worker who gives us all the inspiration to GET OUT THERE AND JUST TRY! What an incredible difference she made in just one year, and to think she went out there on her own, knowing so little and gained all the skills she needed. Just amazing and so inspiring - can't wait to get out there and give it a try myself. Gracias, amigas!
We need more people like you! Beautiful homestead…..you actually brought that place to life.
84k subs but 86k likes shows quality of video and how many love homestead videos.... Great video ❤❤my best wishes
Watching you folks gives me hope for the future of humanity. Well done!
Bravo Harriet! I am so impressed! You are very resourceful. Moving into a shack on your own, without running water or any furniture, with thousands of items on your “to do” list, is a very brave thing to do. And look what you have achieved in such a short time! It’s wonderful!
Many of us dream of doing such a thing but so few of us ever do it. I hope you both have a long and happy life there. Well done girl!
😊❤️🦘
Thank you! You say brave but really there was nothing more I would have liked to have done in the world haha.
Living off the grid = 100% Freedom and Peace of Mind!
The sheer work ethic and labor of love she has created is to be celebrated here. This is the life I find admirable over going viral.
Este planeta necesita más personas como vosotros. Sois un ejemplo a seguir, sois admirables 💚
Not really ALONE but still: good job! How you restored water system was fantastic
Dear Lady,
You are a Powerhouse.
Talk about "sisters are doing it for themselves"!!!!
So very impressive.
Your statement of "this is my place" resounded with me. Great attitude.
All the very best to you 2023.
Cheers.😁
This video is an amazing proof of what people can do in a one year to make their life more meaningful and happier. I just can't help to think how much we waste our time, energy, resources, mental health and nature etc. for something we don't even care...
Hi Harriet. You've done an amazingly wonderful amount of work/play and your home and garden have been transformed. Watching you inspired me to try a few new diy things in our own little home- some more successful than others! I'm looking forward to continuing to watch your journey unfold from afar.🌻🌱🥀

UA-cam kept recommending this so I watched it today. This is similar a bit to my journey. I bought a farm in Lithuania (I'm from Lithuania) and has been working on it on and off on my own. My husband should joing me this year hopefully. Of course, this lifestyle is challening, but being in nature, drinking fresh water, growing your own organic veggies, and having total peace is definitely worth it.
Wow, i cant believe you did all that in one year. Lots of hard work. Well done, an inspiration.
I love that your dog is ALWAYS next to you ❤
Now I’m watching the other half of the video. Where is your little black dog?
Oh he is still here. He's basically the star of the show!
Your values, in what you do, really shine through. This year is of great credit to you. Thank you for sharing it with us.......
WOW, you really done your best, from zero to hero. With no knowledge, no experience, not many people could of done it any better, congrats on all your achievements. WELL DONE!!!❤❤❤
Good to see how you both supported each other to make this work. Seen others breaking up over less. Inspiring
It's selfish and id be pissed
@@jordielpino Expand on that, how is it selfish?
@@GwainMusicLeaving your life partner behind for a year just cause you wanted to play Stardew Valley IRL is selfish...

@@jordielpinonot selish
I am so inspired, what an achievement! We have a small garden in Northern Ireland and grow a fair amount of our own fruit and veg and this takes up a lot of time, I can only imagine the hours and dedication needed to turn this piece of Spanish land into a self sustained homestead, hats off to you! 👏👏👏👏
You've done so very well creating such a balanced and harmonious place to live. The fact that you are self-taught in almost all aspects of your projects is truly an inspiration.
Harriet, brutal.... Te sigo desde hace meses, desde que descubrí a aquella chiquilla que se vino junto a su marido a nuestro país a hacer algo tan bonito y tan difícil que emociona. Es maravilloso ver tu crecimiento personal así como el familiar!!! Me hace muy feliz que estés aquí, compartiendo y disfrutando de nuestra diversidad que ya es la tuya y que seas tan respetuosa con tu entorno, natural y social. Se te ve feliz y, fíjate lo dudosa que estabas cuando dejaste tu trabajo y ahora estás segura de ti misma, desarrollando proyectos que ni imaginaste y cumpliendo metas. Me identifico con ese espíritu de lucha y de "vencer miedos" ya que, por mi trabajo, y también a nivel personal en mi casa (tuve que hacer y sigo haciendo mejoras yo misma), el saber que vas cumpliendo objetivos te hace más fuerte, te hace madurar y eso es lo que reflejas. El trabajo es bueno, te hace sentir bien y no hay que tener miedo a acostarse agotado porque al día siguiente tus fuerzas se recuperan, más aún cuando eres tan joven. Sigue así. Trabaja duro en tu casa porque es un reflejo de ti. Besos al gran Mauro!! Mauro, quiero ver un nuevo video tuyo ya!!! Besos a toda la familia.
goodness, you only liked her comment after she poured her heart into her comment and you knew her personally and she acceptyou I to her country and culture and community with full open arms🥲
ACTUALLY crying because this is such a dream for my partner & I. We hope to get where you are one day !
occasionally youtube recommends an absolute GEM and glad to say this is one of them :)
Mi más enhorabuena por vuestro gran trabajo. Habéis convertido ese trozo de tierra abandonado en un paraíso. Si todos hiciéramos un poquito por la madre tierra estaríamos mejor. Gracias por vuestro buen hacer.
la granja esta chula, pues tampco es un paraíso...
ES UN PARAÍSO. CLARO QUE SÍ !!!!
Harriet, I got more inspiration from this video than from all the clerics and gurus in the world. Loving the earth and our place in it -- "wanting what we've got" -- is among the highest spiritual practices. Thank you is a mild expression for the gratitude I feel.
Ahh Gina thank you 💚
Hello Gina
How are you doing today
♥️ this is what our Mother Earth needs...
Amazed and deeply impressed by just how hard you have been working, especially considering that it's your "spare time". Wishing you absolutely every success and happiness! :)
Hats off to you Harriet for having the guts to take on all the DIY with no experience. Many congratulations.
Wow! This is simply awesome.
With such love and dedication the transformation is beyond words.
Simply, just well done.
Best wishes from a 71 year old doing something similar in central Portugal..only with the help of my brilliant wife. You have the right ideas, especially about the rustic look, I like that, we only have 1 acre, so 4 sounds a lot of work. Thanks...
The bit at the end made me cry. Thank you for showing the possibility of this dream x
Like a fairy you made a wonderful change everywhere, in every single detail. True, falling in love with your property has been key to your growing ability to reach all you have now. Love your vids, Harriet.
Thank you! 💚
I am so impressed with your ingenuity, determination & perseverance! You are amazing! Wishing you continued success in your homestead! You are an inspiration!
I wish the planet will be full of humans like you. Then we all live in heaven on earth. Bravoo
This is one of the greatest things I’ve seen!
This is such an astounding achievement! It would be impressive enough if you did this with already possessing the skills needed, the fact that you learnt the skills as you went along just makes it even more astonishing. This video is an inspiration and you are particularly a great inspiration to other girls/ young women. Wishing you continued success in your endeavours.
First visit to your channel...and I'm in AWE of your hard work...your goals and lifestyle choices. It was a dream of mine once, to live this way...but life chose a different path for me...but the dream never left my mind, even though I knew I could never realize it. So...I have ultimate admiration for anyone who invests this kind of work into making it happen. There are no words to express the amazing beauty and function you have brought to your land and your life.
Your perspective on how to live warms my heart beyond words.
Continued success and rewards for your grueling work. You're doin it right. =)
Thank you Annie 💚
You will get to live like her. Eventually, all of us will be on our own off grid and growing our own food. The world is changing and we will have no choice but to live like her. Good luck.
@@marymorris8442 Ya...great thought...but I no longer have the energy to invest in this...and it DOES take energy.
I make up for it in other ways...conscientious menu planning to make the best of every nickel I spend and making it stretch until it almost breaks.
We can all do better in terms of not being wasteful. Is it "living the dream"? Not so much. But survival has many levels. And simply not being wasteful goes a long ways. =)
@@annieo9468 I agree Annie, I do not throw out anything and give it to the animals who are so grateful for the scraps.
The Phoenicians, Roman's, Germanic tribes, Islamic North Africans, and Hispanic horticulturists shaped this land for millennia! I'm glad to see you following this tradition. You're making your own paradise. Continued success, your labors are well rewarded and well deserved.
We also decided to move from the city to a small town to make a food forest out of a 1/2 acre of old citrus farm land. 7 years later most all the fruit and nut trees are productive and it's beautiful. Thanks to social media and monthly tours we have built up a community of people interested in sustainable food production that trade and barter for services and harvests. This is the future; smaller, deeply invested and local bands of people working together independently in a community.
This is so inspiring, well done you should be super proud of yourself! How blessed to have spring water flowing on your land like that! Brilliant video thank you x
Purely inspirational. You are shining a light on how life aught to be lived. I am almost 76 now and have just bought some land with a mixture of fruits although they need a lot of TLC. We are not in Spain but not far as the crow flies. I will do my best to emulate your achievements for sure, as long as my old back doesn’t give up on me lol. Great video thank you.
Thank you, that's very kind! Best of luck with your project!
@@LittleSpanishFarmstead thank you.
I agree completely. There is nothing like falling in love with the place you chose to live. I sold up in California in 2007 and moved to a small village in the south of France. I have my choice of beaches along the Mediterranean and surrounded by vineyards. The Spanish border is about an hour away so it is one of my favorite day trips. There is a village down there that I simply cannot get enough of. But, hands down, France holds my heart.
"winter" in my country in winter it's -15°C and even colder in the night! 😭😭 I love your garden and house ✨
Wonderful! I've been a small farmer for 50 yesrs, and you're the real deal. Well done!
So inspiring to those of us still holding this same dream.
Dreams are a direction disguised as a destination. In each step lies the reward of its accomplishment along that path. Bravo to you and your husband young lady you have found your direction.
Absolutely amazing. Your husband is a very lucky man.
Gracias , un cambio muy grande , eres una gran trabajadora , 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
you are an inspiration Harriet, well done with all that you have achieved over the past year, sending you blessings of abundance of more to come, hugs
The smallholding life *and* you crochet?! You are my kindred spirit…! 🥰
Thank you so much. What a wonderful result you created in yr beautiful learning journey. I’m in my first year of developing our farm part time at this stage. I wish it were full time and will be one day . I adore the water systems the Portuguese and Spanish farms have, they are so practical and great swimming holes in summer too.🙏💕🇦🇺
You are amazing Harriet! What an incredible amount to have achieved in just a year! In awe. ❤
My first visit and have to say, you have done an amazing job, and it is beautiful that you have taken the option to know your land and all it provides for you. Don't be surprised if nature reaches out to you. It does communicate, answers prayers for rain. Protects your land and critters if harmful weather is coming.
Don't think of prayers as religious. Talk to nature as a friend when asking it to protect...and provide. I suspect it has grown attached as it knows what you have accomplished.
Spread your arms in love. It will in turn fill you with love.
Can't beat it.
Namaste.😏💕
great job, congratulations, I am Spanish, I have a small olive farm with a small house in the province of Castellon, enjoy nature !
I'm amazed and stunned by this project! You encourage more people to live in better enviroment and be productive , to start build something and homegrow their food. For me this is a healthy lifestyle!
Very nice. makes me wish I were a few years younger with the opportunities you show so well.
I can relate to her energy. When you focus and have a plan ahead, things get to be done much easier. And when you look back to how things were before, that is where the satisfaction comes along with more encouraging ideas to continue and do things better. Loved your video. Makes my day🥰💚
This is fantastic. Thank you for the Engagement
It's amazing what access to all the world's knowledge and a lot of money can do!
Holy cow! You have done so much great work on the land! I can’t imagine how hard you have worked to get it all done!
Admirable work. You turned an abandoned old property into a lovely home for your family and your animals. Congratulations!!
You tubers usually have one project they stretch out to twenty minutes. You put in forty projects. It was almost like time lapse photography. The metamorphosis was amazing.
Thank you for making me feel more grateful. Being alone is a blessing but sometimes the work can get to you - you lifted my spirits and I feel better. Your story is motivating. I am strong 💪 Women can do hard work too!
Seems like you're building your own little piece of heaven on earth!. Is really impressive how hard you've worked and how many skills you've developed in just one year!.
Y los humildes de corazón heredarán la tierra, enhorabuena por ese paraíso que has creado.
I can't find enough words to express my admiration. You have reflected the heaven inside you to your home. Congratulations, I hope your courage will be an inspiration to us watching you with pleasure. Gracias.
I love your videos Harriet, they are really inspirational. Seeing your progress is just amazing. I love your can do spirit, when when the task is difficult, or something you have no experience in. I find it really encouraging. 😘❤️🙏🏻
