Hi Susi, the minute I turned on your video, I felt like I as there at the lake. It’s so breath taking and peaceful. I am taking it all in my soul. I love that you are living your dream life. Exactly how I wanted to live my life. I started watching you and other van life travelers for the last two years. That’s the reason I visited Portugal in order to move there. But, because of my family situation, I am still living here watching your dream life and others and feeling like I am there. I also wanted to travel like you did, but I am single, 69 and not so brave to travel alone. I wish you the most wonderful future and I know you will live your dream life forever.😊❤️
Thank you for your reply. I never miss your videos. Wish you well.
The little ledge in the kitchen looks like the perfect spot for some pots with succulents in them. The fact that you have water so close by, which seems so calm and quiet, must be a dream come true. A little place to escape to. I think the tent attached to your car sounds like the perfect solution. Gives you what you're looking for without spending a lot of money. It's good that you're always dreaming, as you encourage us to get out of our rut and think outside of the box too. I always look forward to your videos.
Super like always
If it were my fireplace i would put Portugal colourful tiles ,making that room bright as its small ,Gd luck getting that paint off ,do love that room ,could come quite cosy .
Thanks Sylvia. There’s definitely going to be some light and bright colour in this space 😀💕
❤❤❤
Hi Suzi, thank you for your reply. I am in Canada. would love to live in Portugal. But I have a son and my elderly mother here and it’s hard to move far away for now. I would love to visit and stay there for months at a time. But, I will have to wait until next year to decide. I am watching your videos every week and loving everything you do. I think you are a kind person. I love your cat. Wish you well. I would love to receive your reply. Take care. Ziba
Hi Ziba, I understand very well about prioritising taking care of family. You will know when the time is right for you. In the meantime please do keep watching my videos and thank you for your kind comments 🙏💕
Your green tone trims are magic. So fresh and joyful❤. You’re right about looking for pleasure in the simple things - it gives you energy to take on the big ones. Have a wonderful week, Suzi.
Thank you Lisa. I wish the same for you 🙏💕
Feedback: I love your courage and positivity to forge ahead and do things whether it be moving, renovation or adventure. I don’t like the touchy feely get in touch with this and that. Now there’s a lot of those type who lap this up like it’s the best thing since sliced bread and that’s good. But I’m watching Les and less of your channel because of that. Maybe do a personal exploration Chanel and a home Reno Chanel. I don’t know.
Hi Ruth, thank you for your feedback and I take on board what you say. My channel is not just about renovation, it’s hopefully an inspiration to others to follow dreams. Renovation is just part of my dream life journey and I try to keep a balance. I’m interested to know what you don’t like about ‘the touchy feely stuff’ I am sure you must have dreams of your own?
12:27 it’s actually a pretty blue. 😊
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for being here 🙏💕
Peaceful and beautiful lake and the full moon was stunning at the end! ✌️😊 The chimney will look lovely once renovation is completed. Can't wait!👍 Hugs to Beijos ❣️🐈❣️
Thank you 🙏 I will give Beijos a hug from you 🤗
The colors you are using are so positive and draw your eyes to them. Beautiful and inspiring. Love from Italy
Thank you so much! 🙏💕
Bom dia Suzi que visual lindo e que paz obrigado querida ❤
É verdade. De nada 🙏💕
My big dream is to create an orchard and vegetable garden and my more achievable lil dream is to take an allotment from our local prefeitura/ajuntamiento/council here in the Costa Blanca in Spain. I like the big/lil dream concept. Thanks 🍯
Yes Amanda, exactly. Start with the allotment and it will lead onto the orchard and vegetable garden for sure. Happy planting 🪴 💕
Suzi, that lakeside paradise is wonderful and you say quite close to your house to go and enjoy whenever. The moon was a special sight a few nights ago. So many folks posting photos from all over South Africa. Wherever you may roam, there's no place like home!! 💐🐝🍇🌼
It’s been a blessed week full of the wonder of nature 😀💕
If my videos encourage others to take baby steps towards their dreams then I am a happy person indeed 🥰
That is so funny as my daughter and I were looking at cost effective options to buying a van and saw the car tents ! We were really impressed with price and space you get with these and I plan to buy one myself ! Can’t wait to see what you think about yours ! 👍❤️
That’s so cool Sally. I’m hoping mine will arrive this week in time for me to include it in Sundays video. Let’s see how easy it is to put up 😀💕
Mosaic tiles would be a lovely feature on this fire place
It’s a nice idea 🙏💕
Ah Suzi if only Disney would base a princess on your life style to inspire more to make the most of life, work hard and embase the beauty of nature around us..May all your dreams come true x
Oh Pamela, I so love your comment. It’s given me an idea 😂👸 💕
Hi. If funds can afford I would be tempted to get a quote to sand blast the walls in the old kitchen room. It will save you an immense amount of time. So time vs cost. Bit messy so you would have to empty all the clutter out first. The actual sandblasting should only take 1 or 2 days. Get a quote a weigh the pros and cons. 😊
Thanks Peter for this suggestion. I had this done in the main house and I have seen the mess it makes so I will not be doing that. Time is something I have plenty of. Just little by little it will get done. It’s actually coming along quite nicely 😀💕
Have you tried a heat gun ? Not sure if it would work on stone but I know they work on wood. Might be worth a look if you don’t want to use chemicals which would probably work best.
Thanks Ann, I will look into it. I prefer not to use chemical products where possible 💕
What a beautiful life xx
It truly is Elaine. I am full of gratitude for it 😀💕
What a beautiful place
It really is! I am full of gratitude for it 😀💕
I'm enjoying the dream room sessions. Nice reminder to cultivate our own dreams. Enjoy your trip!
I’m so happy you are enjoying the dream room. It’s part of my journey too 😀💕
Hi Susie, im sorry to hear you are feeling sadness with your friend leaving to the U.k. She must be a special friend 😅. You live in a beaudiful place so im sure friends will visit you soon ❤❤❤❤ 😊. I love how you made your big dream realistic and achievable 🎉. Enjoy your roaming. Hmm, looks like fitness is needed hahahaha, how are you goi g to do your dream of walking The Camino 😮 I signed up to Aura, really enjoying the daily messages and prompts to take time for me. Thank you for the discount 😊 Thank you for inspiring us to make our dreams a reality 😊
Jan, you are very wise. I shall look forward to my friends return rather than feeling sad about her leaving 😉 Don’t you worry, my Camino training will begin once the weather turns a little cooler. There are already signs of this. It’s now low 30’s 😀 I am so glad you are enjoying the Aura app. It’s a great discount and a fantastic app 🙌💕
There must be a paint stripper that you can paint on that will get the paint off much more easily?
I prefer not to use chemicals if possible. However, wetting the wall will probably help. For the stone wall I will use a wire attachment on my drill. Thanks for the advice 🙏💕

@@dreamlifeportugal Thank you Suzi.See you next Sunday.God bless you and your family. ♥️. Raquel.
La repisa ha quedado linda, y puedes poner macetas pequeñas, está genial que quieras hacer ese viaje y quien te cuida a tu gatito?. Es igualito al mio❤
Beijos is using the old kitchen currently so I will leave enough food and water there for him. He’s used to living wild and also hunts his own food. He will be fine for a few days without me 💕
Get a drill with a wire brush attachment. Work smarter not harder.
Yes, that’s a good idea. I have a drill, just need the attachment 🙏💕
Nice video! The tent will add a lot of extra space to your Dacia for sure. Is there enough space in the back of the Dacia to sleep, maybe diagonally or would the passenger seat need to be removed?
Thanks Ern 🙏 The back seats of the Dacia go down but not completely flat. The tent is big enough for a double mattress so I will sleep in there. Let’s see how it goes 😀💕
That moon was very big & bright down here in NZ, - those 'bodgey bits' I like to call "CHARACTER" in my place where everything is better when the sun is bright in a blue sky eh. - How are your Sweer Peas doing .. still flowering?
The moon was amazing. It’s very difficult to capture on video. Sadly the sweet peas only lasted until the end of July. I think it was just too hot for them in full sun. I need to find a more shady location next year as I do so love them. Maybe in the courtyard area somewhere. 🌺💕
Hay Suzi
Are the cats spayed/ neutered? It will take no time for there to be a dozen of kittens 😅
I am getting Beijos neutered soon. 😀💕
Hi, how is kitty going, did my donation help with his desexing did it go well.l would love to know ? Thanks Carolann
Hi Carolann, thank you so much for the donation. I did put a thank you on PayPal for you so I hope you saw that. I have been waiting for the local vet to return from their holidays and will be getting Beijos neutered in the next couple of weeks 🙏💕
I'm not a pro at all, but perhaps if you continue to strip that paint you may want to wear a mask - old paint can have lead or who knows what. Just for safety of your lungs.
You are so right. I will next time 🙏💕

I am so happy you find comfort and inspiration from watching this type of video. I understand your hesitancy about stepping out of your comfort zone. You took the first step and visited Portugal, for this I congratulate you. Did you think you might want to live here? Where are you currently living? Everything is still possible 🙏💕
❤❤
If my videos encourage others to take baby steps towards their dreams then I am a happy person indeed 🥰
