    I am sorry about the goats. Luke I had that happen to my knee after a 3 day trip to Paris, Fluid build up and constant use on the stairs for 3 days ruined my knees. It did not go away until I got a shot of cortizone and did Physio. Now it is much better. Good luck with you knees. The only way it went away was with the doctor

    I’ve had to give up animals as well it’s incredible hard but you know what is right for you. Goats are much harder to tend to than people realize. You have to have strong and high fences anywhere you don’t want them to go. Thanks for such an honest display of what you were going through.

    It´s heart braking to see the goats going. Its like a garden without flowers during spring. They add so much beauty to the land. But they are going to a new farm in which Im sure the new owners will love them to bits. Spècially for the fact that they know how much they are loved by you. They will be happy! i pray for it!

      Hi Catia x x x the land does feel empty without them but I have also experienced so much less stress for the last 3 weeks since they have left the farm . I do know that they have fitted in nicely in their new homes and I am pretty sure it took them less time to get over me than it is talking me to get over them ❤️❤️

    My heart is with you dear Sarah. I know exactly how you feel. I had a lifetime with my animals and now they are all gone and I live alone. I have found ways to fill the void, as I know you will too as you will still be very busy with the others and the land.
    Some are of the mindset that you build infrastructure first before you add the animals. There is wisdom in that. But sometimes we do what seems right for us in the moment, and maybe that's what we actually need at the time. Look at all that you've learned, and how prepared you will be in the future when you go at it again. No experience is ever wasted, and there are positives and negatives in all things. May your hearts, and your bodies and minds heal well. And here is to getting on with work and building a solid future. Sending you much love and hugs and prayers. You've got this. And we will all be out here in the world upholding you and encouraging you on.
    Take "good" care of yourselves.

    Ever since you got the goats I have been saying, "That looks like a lot of work." I have a lot of respect for you two because you recognize that it isn't the right time and it is preventing you from doing other things that you need to get done. Walking away from something you love is one of the hardest things to do. Smart decisions are not always easy. May you find peace with your decision.

    Knee braces take time to get used ( there are many kinds of braces, so don’t be surprise you need different ones for different occasions) but can be used everyday even when you feel better, it makes sense when you have a weak knee or knees it de stress the ligaments so that you can deal with walking on uneven terrain, specially when you are older, you will get used to braces it’s not a big deal and wills help so that you can do whatever you need to do in your land. ❤

You and Luke have taken on such a monumental project but your willingness to try new things and learn from them will serve you well! AND you have shared so others can learn, thank you so much for that!

    OH nnooooooooooooo WHAT A TEAR JERKER of a video. My heart was breaking for you about letting go of the goats. Makes sense though, so I'm glad you both came to that realisation. I will miss those lovely walks with the whole animal tribe, but it's amazing we've got all of those wonderful videos to look back on.
    Sorry to hear about your knee Luke. Damn. I hope you get it sorted soon. Body parts breaking down is a fact of aging. As a 57yo, I can assure you it teaches you to treat your body with the utmost respect, not like we did when we were spring chickens. I'm glad you strong-armed him into going to the doctors Sarah. Good job girl.
    Very excited to see the next chapter begin. Off to sign up to the free part of Patreon. I appreciate you giving us poor folk a little bit more of a look behind the curtain.

    So sad to see the goats go, I'm with you. But think about the things they taught you and you learned about them. It doesn't replace them but it does help with your knowledge for the future when your ready. You may not even have goats again, it could be another kind of animal. With all the excitement on building the outdoor kitchen and the rebuilding of the ruins you will be busy enough. Thank you for sharing because I almost didn't watch this video, couldn't take any bud news. But now I am glad I watched. So far not missed any videos of yours, just didn't know if I could handle it.

    안녕하세요~^^ 한국 티비 프로그램에서 사라와루크를 보았어요~ 지구반대편에서 응원을 보냅니다. 우리부부는 2019 포르투갈을 방문했어요~ 아름다운곳이였어요. 부디 그곳 가족에게 건강과 행복이 늘 함께하길 바랍니다.

    Most electric fences you have to keep weeds away and the ground fails in dry land. It needs to reach damp wet ground to make a good ground.

    Thank you for sharing this raw life change you have had to make, you will have goats again & hopefully all your goals would have been achieved by then & you will be able to enjoy them much more, knowing nothing else will be a priority over them. The one positive is you have made sure they have good new homes, a small comfort. Sad for sure & you made the right decision by putting all efforts into your goals, once they are done your be free to have as many different animals as you choose. Luke, Molly & the piggies will keep your spirits up. The fun will be training new animals when they come. Stay strong flower. L&L

    I think that goats are smart and get in trouble eg. Break out. I believe being in a herd with others helps with boredom they will be happy where you re-homed them. Visit them to get your goat fix and still enjoy your project!

    A hard but as you say necessary decision, you need to get the structures sorted whilst young, fit and healthy. Looking forward to seeing the progress on your summer kitchen, the ruin and I am sure there will be alot of land clearing and discovering of Olive and oak trees, which can now be free to grow.
    Hope all is going well with Luke's knee and your back.

    Dear, dear Sarah, i'm so sad for you... But it was the right decision and i'm almost sure that you will miss your goat much more than she will miss you. That is in our nature, both your and Daisy's. She was an excepcional goat, but our common bound (humans-goats) is what it is. Goats are not dogs and even dogs forget their old owners if they have a new good life. You are both young and i have been told that, in order to live Vera a good and long life, you must have done all the important and hard things in life, like having a good home, before yours sixties. I' m 67 and i assure you that is true. I wich i could help you more. You are in the right path. Be strong and take care. Best wishes from all my heart. Vera

    Sarah, I know how hard this was for you and Luke. That you both have put things into perspective. You will later be able to get goats again and that was a learning curb for you. You have made a very hard decision. Sarah and Luke at least you have all the videos that you have documented of all those lovely goats and have those beautiful memories that you shared with us for yourself. Luke I hope your leg is ok and all goes well at the doctors tomorrow. I was feeling terrible for you too. Know that we love you, take care and try to have a lovely day.

    Have you considered taking the stones from your ruin and building a home near where your garden and resources are? While it might seem daunting, retrofitting the ruin into what you want might be harder than building from the ground up, closer to where everything else has been established.
