- after being away and being confronted with the busyness of the world , how nobody got time, and is stuck in the system. I am very glad and blissful that I am back in nature, back at the cabin , to enjoy life on a simple slow pace...
A very simple but fundamentally true philosophy.
YES , YES , YES !
I'm also in Portugal, closer to the coast. Water is a big problem here and we survived a fire last year with a lot of damage.
After the shock I had lost my motivation, but I am rebuilding the garden because I saw your videos. They have given me back the joy of gardening. Thank you for that!
Ohh I'm sorry to hear that about the fire, but happy to hear you started your garden again! 🙏 Hope you have a great harvest and enjoy the fruits of your labour!
Thank you so much! ❤
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you dred, good work 👍😁.
Much love and blessings to you Arjan!
Gotta say you got great teat skills 😁
😅
Your sheep are looking good again ❤ wise words at the end, take care😊
Thanks! Yes the ones I still got are doing great
Good to see you are enjoying your life in Portugal. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
My pleasure! 😁! Happy to see you back here!
Thanks!
Ooh waauw! Thanks Sonia for all your support! It's really much appreciated! This will buy me a new sheep 😁🐑😁
Great words. Most people are just too scared of change, or of what they think they need. When I lost my life partner I realized what really matters, nature is one of those things.❤
I'm sorry to hear you lost your partner! But happy you stayed in tune with the things that are important in life! Much love out from Portuguese nature! ❤️❤️❤️
Your house looks amazing, your hard and patient labour really paid off! God bless you!
Thanks, yes I love my little house, still allot to do, but been enjoying living in it so far.. much love and blessings!
Muy buena reflexión has echo al final....... que cunda el ejemplo..... de los que viven en un tapperwear en la ciudad.....saludo cordial.
Obrigado! Much appreciated! ☺️
I'm happy you found your peace in my country.
And yes... you have a luxurious life.

Thank you very much 🙏! It's a beautiful place to live! Love it so much
Love your setup. It is nice and serves you well. ❤
Thanks Joanna! ❤️
God bless brother what a beautiful life. Wishing you good health and a rich harvest!
Thank you very much! Much love and blessings
Beautiful thoughts and words there at the end. Thanks for another video.
Hey vilhelm! Thanks allot! I sometimes look at your videos to! Very beautiful vids you make!
Thanks
Ooh waauw thanks! That's much appreciated! ☺️ , this will go to the 'sheep fund'
👍👍👍👍
Could not agree more, find the place and pace that suits you and enjoy it for all it has to offer. Will also add that I very much prefer these shorter videos.
You should consider planting peas, we planted one year and it was the crop that kept on giving. We had loads, and they are delicious in the pod as well. It was one of the best producing crops we've ever had.👍
I planted some peas, I regret not seeding more, didn't got enough. But first peas should be ready to harvest soon 😁
Excellent
Vergeet nooit! Dat je de juiste keuze gemaakt hebt,endoor 🙏
Dankje! Zal ik zeker proberen nooit te vergeten ☺️
I think you're glad to have escaped civilisation again. With and around your animals you have responsibility, work and entertainment. Even if it's hard to work outside in the heat, you have your little stream to cool off in. How I would love a piece of homemade cheese right now...
Your always welcome to come and try some off that cheese 😄, but thanks, yes I am happy to have escaped the rat race
Summer heat is pretty intense, when I lived in the Alentejo the water heated up just by being out in the sun that way saved money on propane.
So true, we don't need much at all, everything we need is a our disposal, nature🥰🥰
@@leavingbabylonfamily I'd take you up on that!!
@serendipity-divine, your always welcome
Btw, the tomato sidebranch, you can replant them into the soil. Don't throw away but make sure you water them well. They will regrow just like a new seedling. I just found out on UA-cam. 😅 And I did it. It worked 😂. Just a thought to share with you 😊
Thanks for the tip! Good to know!
In the UK we would never plant entirely in the shade as the seasons are just not long enough. I can see the opposite applies to Central Portugal, where shade is critical to retain moisture for growth and protection scorch from the sun.
Yeah , I was kinda surprised by that at first also, but after experiencing a summer myself, I understand why you want the veggies growing in the shade for most of the day .. my garden gets somewhere between 4and 6 hours of direct sunlight, the rest of the day everything is in the shade, and seems to be growing good this year
Keep looking forward. You have come a long way. 😊❤
Thanks 😊 , I will!

I have a favorite pancake recipe to share with you. Hope you have the time to try it. Just a suggestion
Fluffy Pancake/banana pancake
2 c of butter milk or sour milk(old milk that turn sour)
1 Lg very ripe banana mashed.
2 eggs
3 tablesp melted butter
2 teasp vanilla
(The above is the wet ingredients. Put in a big bowl, mix well)
2.5 cup of flour
3 tablesp flour (use less if you want to)
1 tablesp baking powder
.5 teasp of baking soda.
.5 teasp salt
(The above is dry ingredients. Put all in a big bow , mix well. )
Method
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mix together. DON'T OVER MIX ! it's ok the batter is a little lumpy 😅.
While it's cooking, don't pat it down. Pancake will be flat and not fluffy 😊
Hope you like it. Impress your girlfriend when she comes but meanwhile experiment. Practice makes perfect 😂❤
Did you remove the Amazon wish list?😊
Haha nice! Sounds like a very yummy recipe, I will try it out for sure!
Thanks for sharing!
And no the list is still up there

I forgot to put it in the description

Feel God peace in your heart ☀️🙏
Much love and blessings! Let the light shine bright 🌞
I can't get your videos and Portugal out of my mind. Actually looked into offgrid land prices today. Coming from B.C. Canada I'd be blessed to end up there achieving (moreso) of what my heart calls out for. Saving up! Your area is beautiful! Where abouts is such raw land like yours?!
There's plenty of affordable land for sale here, the best way is to be here first before you buy anything, chances are that you will find something way cheaper then the stuff you find online .. this is castelo branco region, it's probably the cheapest region in Portugal...
@@leavingbabylonfamily Really appreciate your advice, and I'll definitly get there to seek Lans. Thank you
Watching you milking reminds me of when I first started milking two cows, twice a day, as a teenager. The first two weeks were a nightmare, cramping thumbs lol, but once you get used to it it goes fast. We used to get forty litres plus every day.👍
I am secretly dreaming off some milking cows 😅 but yeah I really enjoy milking my sheep! When I first started I took ma a long time, now I am done in few minutes
Waryaa❤
Leaving? Thank you for your returning to the simpler ways
Your welcome 😅
Build a stone closed of the ground bbq easy and safety for fire and bbq the whole year😊
Yes, that's the plan at some point.. but so many projects already, and my house isn't even finished😅 but yeah would be very good to have a stone BBQ, also for smoking meat and so on
@@leavingbabylonfamily yeah it's a perfect way to prepare food smoke bake bread and meat and veggies to 👌
The potatoes needed water every early morning and evening, most probably....
Yummy!
BO0MBO CLAP
We never see you interacting with the dogs. Patting. Playing. Training. Talking. Would be nice to see.

Perfect life .... What do you think about cats maybe a good place for them there to😊 Mine take out the rabbits, mouses and rats. I could take two baby's to you if you want. 🙏🫂😘
My neighbour has some little kittens at the moment to, he asked me also if I wanted some.. I do like cats allot, but I don't want any at the moment, and also I am bit afraid they would kill to much birds and gecko's and so on ..
@@leavingbabylonfamily I can understand that . But I don't want little animals eat my food and destroy my crops 🤣
