Dear Lauren and John...Congratulations on acquiring a farm in Portugal. Don't be intimidated with 22 acres of land, by Canadian standards this is smaller than the flower garden in my back yard. You have embarked on a wonderful journey in life although daunting at first, you will indeed prevail given determination and the kindness of people helping you to fulfill your dream. Now that you have shared the farm on videos, please be advised that it is also our farm now, we have a vested interest and hopefully your videos will help you grow mentally, physically and financially. Please take care of yourself and best of luck in the future. Stay safe, take care of each other and keep your power dry.
Thank you again for watching Allan. We're not intimidated at all, been here for almost 3 years now on and off but, we are managing the farm well, despite my injury. The farm was bought to support the Mind Yersel' project and aid our wellbeing physically and mentally. So far it's doing a grand job. Thank you for the well wishes! 🙂
Found you both today, my wife and I are completely captivated by you both. Fellow Celts, your sense of humour , the farm , your ideals and we so want to visit the spaces you have are so beautiful and special. I never wanted to hug a walnut tree but do now 😂so looking forward to you both sharing your futures and how your dreams are fulfilled.🤗🤗🤗
@@martindevlin9152 Wow, what a beautiful comment to leave. That means more than you know. It's taken a lot to get to the point of sharing, but, here we are in all our vulnerability hence the humour 😂 The walnut tree will change a few lives, of that I'm certain! If you'd like to read more about our journey before this (first video was only 10th of December) then please find us on Facebook, I've been blogging there for 4 years. Mind Yersel' typed exactly like that. We do still have some space next year for holiday stays and there are some retreats happening too. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you subscribe. Hope to see you in the mountains! 🙏❤️
@martindevlin9152 Many fairies! Haha, thc field next to it is named Fairie Brae! You need both capital letters and the apostrophe. Mind Yersel' - no Insta yet! Considering it 👀😂
Thank you for watching! Isn't it just. There's so many celtic connections with Scotland and Portugal. That's amazing you found your place and peace! We really have also. If you enjoyed and want to keep following our journey remember to subscribe. Wishing you much more peace to come. ❤
Mr Jonh and Mrs Lauren. Congratulations!! Wonderfull "Quinta". I am brazilian, but i living in Portugal too. I'm new subscribers in your channel. Merry christmans!!🇧🇷🤝🏽🇵🇹 🍷🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Im in. I love your story and your plan. I hope I can one day come and join you. Iam a retired carpenter , landscaper, farmer. Been looking for a warm place where I can volunteer and use all my life experiences for the benefit of others for a bit every year. Your project looks like it would be right up my alley. Im a past member of a Pipe Band also. Originally from Newfoundland Canada.
Welcome David, love this!! We are so happy when our project Mind Yersel' resonates with people. It honestly fills us with so much joy! If you have facebook please check us out there Mind Yersel' exactly like that. It's where we post our volunteer opportunities normally but I hope to include in future videos. We often need help and it's amazing when it's from a person who just gets the plan! Don't forget to subscribe and we look forward to chatting more in the new year.
Highlanders moving to the high lands of Portugal. The irony! Wellcome. You are in the hart of Celtic Portugal, so don’t be surprise when you hear bag pipes in local festas. I am sure that sound is going to make you feel even more at home.
Thank you for watching! We comment almost every day about how much it feels like Scotland here at times! Except with sunshine, haha. We made jeropiga for the first time this year (well our grapes and our vizinho's expertise) and entered it into the castanha and Jeropiga festa competition. The local band played the pipes as part of our welcome, it was so beautiful and very emotional! We hope you will follow our journey. We love it here. Beijinhos.
I'm only 4 mins into the video and have to comment already to say what a wonderful vision. I wish you all the very best of luck. I'm rooting for you and your project 🍀🥰
