Remote cottage update and why we are NOT looking in Portugal for property.
As most of you will know we recently purchased a remote cottage in Ireland and whilst we are waiting (desperately hoping) for it to go through, we drove our campervan down to southern Portugal to look at off grid homesteads we may be able to renovate as our winter escape.
However, we currently STILL don't have the cottage, 4 months after making the offer, and, we've not even began to look at off grid property in Portugal yet. This weeks video gives an update on why, and where we are with it all.

when it was suggested to have a camper vibe meet up ,Emily said she worried no one would turn up can you imagine a crowd of 100k think you will need a big venue !!!!!!!!! 3500 views in 30 mins , getting the numbers you deserve congratulations
I would totally still worry 😂
I understand how you could fall in love with Ireland. It's not called the emerald isle for no reason. I have to admit it was sorely tempting, on my visits to Ireland, to search for a property.
Never bored with you ! Love seeing how much you care about each other ! You’re very fortunate to have found someone you just “fit” with so well . ❤
😀😀
Sometimes you just need to stop & breathe.. to chill, appreciate all you have, all to come. Have fun, laugh & enjoy.
We all luv ya! 💌
born in the UK moved to Canada in my early 20,s been here for 50 years travelled the world and I agree with you both Ireland is place I could happily live in love your content keep it coming you guys are awesome
Love you two , relieved & delighted to hear you're both keeping so well!.. Thanks for the very kind words about my lovely Ireland etc very touching.. Enjoy the next month or two off!

I never knew about this caterpillars 🐛 either, horrible little buggers….. Keep up the good work ladies, it’s really nice seeing a channel that’s not ramming down our throats how many freebie’s they are getting. We all know it’s annoying when that happens because the rest of us end up having to buy the goods.
I’ve been watching a few years now and enjoy every video you do. Well Done & Thank You Both. KEEP IT UP XX
We actually like this type of video a lot. Thanks for having us over for a visit!
😀😀
Love that you're putting your life and yourselves first. They are the most important things.
And no worries, your chit chat vlogs are a delight.
Take care. 🍁
😀😀
So true
We live south of Bordeaux on the Bassin d'arcachon and every year at carnaval time the processionary caterpillars arrive for a couple of months. It's awful what they do to dogs and cats but it's nearly as bad for humans. My friend stood on one and spent 6 weeks looking like Marilyn Monroe with the big sunglasses and a headscarf, her face was so disfigured. Our neighbours son was hospitalised for 3 days, he was 11 and his whole body swelled up like a balloon because he played on a pine tree that had fallen in a storm and it was covered in caterpillars. After these horror stories we walked our Golden every day where there were caterpillars and he never went near them and went as far as to step over them, he must have had a sixth sense luckily. Great you're having a chill time it's good for you. In France it takes from 3 to 6 months to buy a property, we've done it a few times. Enjoy yourselves that's what counts 😊😊😊
Never boring, ever 🙃 I'm really looking fwd to seeing you back in Ireland and am glad you've rested up and restored your good selves. A tip for the crossing? Peppermint tea. The warmth will help soften your heaving stomach muscles, it's an ease for nausea and... it will taste marginally better on it's return. Blessings to you all.
Thank you 🙂
Oranges taste the same comng up as they do going down :-)
Yes definitely do a rebuild! You could build a doggie bed sleep bed that converts to a shower when needed. You could make waterproof walls that lift up from inside the dog bed into the shower walls and folds back down when back to the bed.
Great that you are both having time out for yourselves.
I have finally caught up as i was behind due to a busy life with new dogs lol
I really hope one day uou get to come down to nz as i think you would love the greenery here..beaches...bush...mountains.lakes ..rivers and climate. Oh and people xx would love to have a beer and snacks xx
Take care of yourselves and thanks so much for the update! Good to see that you are doing well. I waited nearly too long and now I have been stationary for 6 weeks, doing the same you are doing - mainly taking care of my health and fitness. It is so important, especially as a middle-aged bird in a van 😂
I used to spend up to 2 weeks on large boats at a time and found that giving out fresh ginger for seasick passengers to suck on worked wonders.
Ladies, I have just caught up with the news about Mandy's diagnosis and watched a bit of Johns video explaining things. Thank you for supporting them at such an awful and stressful time. I realise the videos lag behind life so this was probably a while ago but it was lovely to hear that you had been helping them
Put a drain hole in the floor that you can plug, use a stopper from a metal water bottle canister, and get a tray with a hole that fits exactly in the hole in the floor, and then you can pick up your shower pan put it away when you are not using it, put a plastic curtain rod up and use a black solar water bag that gets hot from the Sun, hooks in the ceiling for the curtain. No remodeling, just a few adaptations
Happy you've had this time together. Health; physical, mental and emotional requires work and attention paid. Love to see your affection and love for one another! We need so much more of this in the world. Excited about the cottage content to come. Stay well and happy!!
😀😀
Happy St..Patrick's day..💚 and the 100k milestone..👍..Sending ❤ to the world wherever its needed..
You are delightful and charming in your ‘chilling time’ videos as you are in your camper videos. Thank you for sharing your ‘peopleness-ability’ with us
Those caterpillars are no joke. I worked somewhere where there was an area where they are and we had to carry our dogs- they get in the paws, and human skin contact is very painful, too.
I love that you have had a chance to catch up with yourselves, if you know what I mean. You‘ve got a huge project ahead and have done so much to get to this point. Health is truly the most important. You only realise it when it‘s gone. (Don‘t worry, I got mine back)
Miss your uploads, though! Couldn‘t have clicked faster! ❤❤
I know they are horrendous and so many about, the campsite is really good at being on top of them 🙌
Lovely to see you both and hear what you been doing 😊 🙏🤞 you Hear very soon about the Cottage😊
I know it can take ages but sometimes its a just a bit too long , you begin to think “ they are hibernating with the paper work 😅 . Enjoy the rest of your stay in Portugal🥰
Have fun guys, it was so lovely to see you again. Stay safe. ❤
"two middle-aged birds in a van." Haha!🤣
😂😂🥳🥳
you mean 2 hot birds in a van😁
@@alohapoppet6107 Yes, of course; 2 smolin´hot birds in a tin fanny.
We bought and sold in Ireland -All went very quickly. Getting a PPS number is the very basic prerequisite to doing anything. Don’t forget that the health service is absolutely shite over there so don’t get ill 😬
100%
Congrats on getting fit. Definitely keep Fanny as is. She is perfect ❤
Nice to see you ladies!❤️❤️
Thanks for the update. Good to see you’re spirits are high.
You could always shower outdoors with a shower/privacy tent.
Love you both enjoy your rest❤❤
Enjoy your adventures!!
Loved this catch up. Enjoy your break xx
🎉🎉congratulations
Good to see ye taking a break for yourselves 🧡
Great video, glad you are all enjoying yourselves x
🙌🏼🙌🏼 Glad all is well peeps, can’t wait for your Ireland vids 🖤🖤
So excited for you all too! 🎉
Fabulous one girls. Keep enjoying the sunshine ❤
Ladies. Seasickness is not a joke. I'm a sufferer, and have been travelling between Holland and back to the UK for over 30 years, but quite a few years ago now I invested in some acupressure wrist bands. They have a button on the inside which you place over a specific point on your wrist and they work! No pills, potions or expensive remedies, just a couple of elasticated wrist bands will help.
Agreed! I was going to suggest these, but I’m glad you did! I used them on a ferry crossing from Aberdeen to Shetland in January, when plates were flying off tables it was so rough, and they worked brilliantly. Definitely recommend! Love that you girls are having a great time - enjoy xxxx
I totally agree I am terribly seasick and the wrist bands do work Follow the instructions of pressing the bead 10 times (or whatever it says) 👍
Where do you get them, please? My poor husband suffers.
They really work. My other half used to take out divers on trips & he always had a supply of sea bands which the sufferers often refused to give back once they were back on dry land.
Middle age birds 😂 I see myself as middle aged and I’m 58 ha ha
Keep enjoying yr time ladies thanks for the update and getting excited for yr new home got everything crossed for u xx
Lovely to see you guys, enjoy , keep chilling and we look forward to seeing your next chapter as soon as things progress. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤗 Xx
Glad you're getting some well-deserved R&R! Well done on 100k subscribers! Again, well-deserved! Good luck with the cottage.❤❤❤❤
Sounds good guys glad to see you prioritising you. ❤
So glad to see you guys ! Missed you all ❤ can’t wait to see you guys finally settled in your cottage !
🎉🎉🎉🎉❤ all the very best with your adventures in Ireland and May completion be swift
You two are so much fun
Good to see you both again. Glad your both OK xx
Your presentation style is absolutely fabulous, don't change a thing, it's become refreshingly natural ! The Processionary Moth Caterpillars apparently just come out of the Pine trees in spring, to pupate in the ground near by; so the lines of caterpillars are searching for the perfect spot to pupate !! I was on a pine forest road in Extremadura last March, where there were so many live and run over caterpillars on the road that walking as a human was tricky, trying not to step on them, so for a dog it would have been like hell !! J
Yeah that’s what we said, they come down to bury themselves in the ground to become the moths, it’s when they come down to find their next spot that they are the issue unfortunately
Lovely to hear a quick catch up on you both and the furbabies and glad you are all doing so well!!! Fingers crossed for good on your piece of paradise in Ireland. And keep on enjoying your break!!!! 😊😊
Miss you guys and looking forward to following your journey.
Thank you for the catch up ladies, good to see you all doing so well 👍☺️
Aww lovely to see Summer taking centre stage!
Can’t wait to see u get your cottage here
Great video as usual and you both look to have benefited from some fun in the sun. Sea sickness is no joke. Take care all and fingers crossed the cottage is sorted out soon.
Great vlog girls glad your all doing well and looking after yourselves crossing my fingers that the house goes through for you take care ❤
🎉 so happy to see you both!
Nice to see you. I'm glad to see you are taking a breather. It's absolutely necessary sometimes! Keep the vibes as high as you can for positive outcomes 👍☘️

Good to catch up 🎉
Loved the update 😊 it’s fantastic to be able to take time to recharge. Very much looking forward to the next stage and having done a renovation I know just how much physical work and mental toil it will take on you both so getting fit and well before hand is most defo the way forward xxx
It's really lovely to see you both looking so chilled, it seems like staying put somewhere safe for everyone 🐛🐛🐛 is a really good choice. Enjoy the sunshine while you've got it, and good luck with the cottage, fingers crossed it all keeps moving forward! I'm about to start the same process of moving and not looking forward to all the waiting. 😵💫
Another ace video guys!
Great to see you again. Loved the chat style of video. Ah, you have Ireland in your genes and it's so wise to follow your instincts. Sending positive vibes for you to get the Ireland cottage. That large parkup where you've been for a month is a good homebase for now, you have everything there you need (like laundry, bathrooms, etc) and lovely weather. A nice place to relax and recharge for all of you. Take care and catch you next time.👩🔧👩
Summer definitely wants to be in on the action ❤
Lovely to see you again, take all the time you need to rest and recuperate before your big renovation project. Ireland is definitely the best 🍀
Thank you for the updates and I totally get when you say about falling in love with Ireland. Continue enjoying your adventures at a somewhat slower pace.
Hi guy's great talk.
Looking forward to the next vlog
Be safe 👍
You two look positively radiant & glowing so keep up the good vibes❤
It's great to see you both having some down time, relaxing, and having time for each other. It is all too easy to get wrapped up in things (work/business especially), and lose sight of what is really important. Fingers crossed for the cottage. Thanks for sharing another installment of your lives. BTW, we have just been to Blackpool with you, so still some way to catch up! We are enjoying all your videos and, my, how you have progressed. ❤
Your all good and I really hope things work out soon for you guy's 🤞 they are crossed for you guy's. But anyway thank you for the update and everyone needs a break from the Internet once in a while. Stay Safe and will see you in the next video.
Take care.
You two are awesome, glad you're staying safe ☺️ fantastic chat vlog 🙏🏼🌹❣️
I too like them freshly squeezed !
