      What a great video! It was amazing the way you did it, going to every corner of the farm, showing us everything while answering all the questions. Well done! And your answer, Tara, to what you do when you feel down, was beautiful and I completly understand you, because it's just what I do ...I get out to my garden and my mood immediatly starts to change.
      Thank you for opening up to us.
      So good to see your parents, Tara.
      You are a wonderful family!

    Way to go John! Neither my husband or myself have any university and guess what, we have done just fine. My husband is a Builder (comes from a family of Builders) and he can pretty much DO anything! He has a vocabulary that would rival a Professor, really, and I trust his judgement in all things! AND growing up, my husband and myself were raised by parents that Always had a huge garden! I would help my Mom can all during my summer school break! We would get up about 4am every morning and can until it got too hot in the kitchen, about 9-10am.! Our home did not have air conditioning. UGH! You are Living the Dream! Best way to raise confident, happy and useful little people into adults. Blessings!

    I love the education in Portugal. It is really quite good and prepares children to learn, have fun and be themselves. No Uniforms, no rules in terms of grooming, which I think is very, very good, so children are truly free to express their personalities.

    After seeing you in the vlog Raising Voyagers where you built a bath tub, I said I just have to see you guys in your own channel. I have watched you since then. Old people like me find not just entertainment but I find great ideas and I also learn so much.
    What I like most is the continuity of each segment which is value-laden with wholesome tone. I have never seen or heard any inappropriate words or actions which is very rare nowadays.
    Surely, there were some stressful times, I understand, but you just persisted on discovering what would actually work.
    You are a great family and you are blessing us in ways we could never imagine by your example, by your kindness, by the way you handle your daily life. I pray that you go on influencing the world with kindness, hardwork, patience, and more importantly, L-O-V-E.
    GOD BLESS YOU MORE.
    🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
    PS
    I remember reading a long time ago that a well travelled person is a well educated person. It even equated travel with a doctorate degree.
    We go to school to get education, to acquire knowledge. The essence of knowledge is having it to apply it. A person may not have gone to school but as long as he learns from life, he is a person of genuine wisdom. Congratulations beautiful family!

    Just fabulous. I was brave and bought La Petite Maison back in the early nineties, it cost the princely sum of €13,000. It was before the tv programmes started enticing Brits to a place in the sun. It has been our other family home, full of love, lots of fun and laughter, it’s also been at times trying and challenging, but I’m grateful that I’ve realised lots of dreams there and I wouldn’t change the experience’s it’s given me. So, keep doing what you’re doing. Lovely to see Tara’s Mum and Dad visiting. Take care xx

    I had a gut giggle when you said it’s hard sometimes to try and figure out what to show us. You could never let us down guys. Happy plants, happy chickens, happy children, beautiful homestead. We own 200 acres in Spokane Washington. Taxes are a gusher but it is so worth it. Private and peaceful. I’m so excited for the tree house… our boys had one they built in their early teens. It was pretty impressive and every day when driving home I can see it down in a canyon. My boys are now in their 30’s. Poor neglected thing still holds strong and signs of younger neighborhood children have found it out. The boys are planning on making it a bit more safe again and we will have a second generation tree house with a creek below it no less! Jelly of your dried out bamboo but omg with your fight against that dragon! 😂 Fly kites if you can! Crustose can run! OMG he makes me giggle. Loves

    When you plant potatoes do not use regular store potatoes as they will probably have been sprayed to stop sprouting. Plant the seed potatoes deep as the plant will push up the lose soil . Gradually you may have to add more soil as you do not want the new potatoes to see the sun and turn green ( toxic) . Great fun can be had growing fingerlings for everyday use. Russets are good for baking. I like Majestic Purple and Desiree as two other choices.
    FYI potatoes come in many different shapes and amount of starch content so so your homework before planting. The Irish Potato Famine was caused by importing 2 types from of potatoes that were not disease resistant! In Peru there are over 2.000 different types . I like use cloth bags as the pots as they sit on top of the ground so excess water drains. When you harvest you can tip the contents out or the boys could just get their hands dirty. Look at potatoes to see if they are early or late…

      In Portugal you can sow/plant supermarket potatoes, tomatoes, all vegetables. It grows. I promise. Every year I have edible proof of it.

      And the easiest way to manage a portuguese vegetable garden is - like Tara said - to ask and observe and get advice from the neighbours/community.

    When I watched your video yesterday, I thought how lucky you guys are, doing your own thing on your own hours, and getting so much time to raise your children and watch them grow. When my son was small, I had to be at work at 8am, finish my day at 5pm, then pick up my son, then on home to fix dinner, etc. It seemed like we were always rushing! You are smart & lucky to be doing in "your way."

    I love that you film those things that lift you up and include them in your videos, it gives us the benefit of all that too.
    I totally agree on being part of a community, there are so many reasons as well as those you mentioned that you just don't notice. Then there are those times when things are going wrong and there's someone who totally gets it. Sometimes they have the local experience to know just what to do, other times just being there is enough.
