      The fence looks great - well done!
      You may need to put those thin iron bars used for re-enforcing concrete at the base of the fence to keep the wild boars out... I live in the south of France, and a year ago installed a nice new fence to keep a boar out of my garden. He continued to enter, digging a trench to force his way through the bottom of the fence. Only iron bars attached to the base of the fence, and then attached to stakes driven into the ground, kept them out! Hope you won't have the same experience, but guess you'll find out in time!

    I was just watching you clear all the shrubbery branches, et cetera thinking that it’s a good idea to move it all out the way to stop fire spreading, love the wood that you cut up olivewood is beautiful and almond as well, then all the sudden all hell let loose, smoke on fire coming over the mountains, I feel so sad for you both, and of sage , amazing child, that must’ve been a terrifying moment thinking that you might have lost everything, As you put so much hard work and effort into your work over the years, Luckily, somebody is looking down on you, and yes, a time of stress brings out the worst in people sometimes, Especially when there is a dangerous situation, My heart goes out to you all, You obviously know that it is a good idea not to have things that grow around the house could burn very easily, I know in some properties over in Canada where they have had fires they sometimes have 2 to 300 m of cleared area around the property and even that is not enough in some cases, Carry on watching you are amazing adventure,

      Thank you for another lovely comment Hog! Someone was definitely looking down on us that day, we will be forever grateful! We will definitely be clearing more of the land this year and making a big fire break at the bottom of our land where we are most vulnerable (fire coming up the slope from pine woods below). Yes we loved the olive wood fencing around the pond, although not sure it will actually stop the mouflon! Thanks again for your heartfelt message❤️

    Hey, congratulations on your beautiful UA-cam channel. Your optimism after the many setbacks is inspiring. Thank you for allowing us to look into a part of your fascinating family life. A few comments, in all modesty: cement is a kind of super chemical superglue! Biologically undegradable, very bad for the environment! You use tons of it (a concrete roof ?) . Electric equipment (chainsaw, ...) is now equivalent if you choose from a professional range, with all that sun on that beautiful mountain in Spain, the solar energy seems exuberant to me. And finally, there is a special dry cement for securing posts: making a hole, place the post, pouring in dry cement and water and adjusting it, cement dries in less then 10 minutes, advantage: much less work, no more leveling supports. And finally: a drone provides beautiful images (just watch Martijn Doolaart's vlog) and allows us to participate even more. Keep on doing what you do, it's great (Bart from Belgium, using google translate)

    • @ladyandtheowlman
      @ladyandtheowlman  4 місяці тому

      Thanks so much for your comment and advice Bart! We did research concrete quite a lot before using it on our project, and as long as we didn't use additives (which large construction buildings use for strengthening concrete etc), then the only downside would be the alkalinity of the surface runoff during rain... which can be beneficial to some plants (although not good for others). Greenhouse gasses from creating the cement isn't good, but we understand that lime (which makes up portland cement) is naturally occurring and therefore doesn't impact the ground other than the alkalinity aspect. But we'll make sure to do more research! Chainsaw - we're definitely keen to get an electric chainsaw, thanks for reminding us, we're not a fan of how much oil the chain gives off onto the trees when we're cutting them, not sure if you still have that problem with electric chainsaws though?! Dry cement for posts does seem like a good idea thanks for recommending, aligning the posts takes the most time! We're big fans of Martijn Doolaard and would love a drone like his, we're just trying to save up some money so we can get one!

    whether or not you have the money , you are reusing what you have on hand , reusing old materials etc . The fence you just built around that water tank is awesome . It adds character to you land .
    You were very luck with that bush fire , the main thing was , that you were all safe . from the Australian .

We hope the olive wood fence works around the pond, it's a bit wobbly, pretty sure the mouflon will fall in the pond if they try and jump it and then they won't try again! Yes we'll do our best to re-use what we have in future, it's a good point, for sure we need to make more things with the rocks we have!

    Awesome progress and yet you are so humble. It is refreshing to follow your journey. I would be interested in learning which food you grow and how much you can already sustain yourselves.

Being organic we obviously have to sacrifice quite a lot to the bugs, but with our growing diversity we are getting less and less bug problems which is nice. We grow a big variety of vegetables and recently planting berry bushes too. We really need to build a cold store so we can store our root veggies over long periods, but we're not sure how well cold stores work in hot climates like spain. We'll do a full video on how self sufficient we are soon. Sounds like you've made a good start already!

    The movie-making skills you have are...well, considerable. That Robbie filmed during a crisis signaled to viewers that what they were seeing was not a totally filtered view. The same goes for the scenes where you are fretting with one another, as when Emilia wanted to plant a tree on a bank that Robbie was trying to reinforce against collapse. (She rightly stuck up for herself, & probably was in the right; roots hold banks.) Conflict, pain, anger--they're not a signal love is in danger; depends on how you handle difficulties, and how deep is the reservoir of trust.
    The framing of videos around work projects gets all of us involved in your plan of life. Shouldn't we too have a plan of life? Lots of people don't.
    Overall, it helps that the 'casting' is tops. For the female lead, you've got a beautiful woman whom the camera loves. Was Robbie a model too? Could have been. Both of you have lovely voices. Beautiful people don't always have beautiful voices. And Robbie as cameraman gives love to his woman--he indulges us with long shots of her bodily form, her funny faces, her crooked-toothed smile. I take it that Emilia may be the editor. She likes to show Robbie in fast-forward scenes of his toils on the land (how amazing! how funny!). ||
    And the little lad--rhythmically taking to the lovely breast down the years--seems to all of us a very lucky child. When is it best to wean a child? Back in Missouri, where I grew up, they used to say, if the child standing on its own feet could nurse the standing mother, it was time to stop.

    I think you can grow. almond. walnut, apricot , apple. peach , nectarine, fig pomegranate, cherry . Except Cherry, the rest you can put two seeds on top of each other and put soil on them and it will be a fantastic grafted tree root , for grapes, just find some good grapes, around Christmas, get some branches and put them deep in Ground, it will be fantastic grapes, as good as mother tree. for pomegranate and fig, you can get some branches from a good tree and dig a deep hole and put them in the whole, you will have fantastic fruit, don't buy the trees. this is what is did and i get lots
    of fruits. I wish you wouldn't cut the extra fence post, deer can jump over your short fence, you needed taller fence. you guys have adorable little boy, please be careful about mountain birds they can be dangerous for kids, keep him close yourself. also from snake.
