    Hi everyone. Nice to see that your family is in the right direction 👍🏼. It's appeared you are moving to the builders direction rather than the farmer direction. By the way, your baby is gorgeous. Look after yourselves ❤

      Unfortunately at the moment, yes, much more building work than land work…!! But now it’s the end of summer we can put some more attention to the land. Pruning season is right around the corner again and the fire/machinery ban will soon be over so we can get on with more work up there again ☺️
      And thank you; we’re biased but we think she’s gorgeous too 😂😍

    Job well done on the farm. Next, get ready with food preservation?😊 And a food cellar 😂? It's exciting.
    The bathroom is looking very good. Love it.

    Should fill the bath with water before sealing so it doesn't split/peel away under pressure.

      Ye someone else mentioned that, first we ever heard of it! Tip for next time 👍

    You are taking a lot of care with complementary planting. I always wonder whether that was old knowledge lost and rediscovered, or twentieth century discoveries.
    Just a thought about the bathroom. Be thorough! Isabelle will soon be big enough to splash, if she isn't already.

      Thank you. We’re discovering more and more as we go, and no doubt will continue to learn more every season for years to come. There are many methods to try. It’s all really interesting!

      And you’re right.. she already loves a good splash about at bath time! 😄

    Watching your content on this channel reminds of the simplicity and wholesome nature that made me a fan of yours from the start. Maybe waxing a bit nostalgic right now but with all the hustle and bustle that day to day life has become ... watching the simple task of planting a garden is surely a welcome distraction and spirit of things that may have been sadly forgotten in modern times......Blessings to your family and hoping for the brightest of days ahead there as you fulfill your dreams!

    Well done guys, the bathroom looks amazing! And the land is coming along nicely, great move putting the strawberries under the vine, after they have fruited they will send out runners with new baby plants on, if you can put each baby in a pot of compost it will root and then you will have as many plants as you want, also with strawberry plants you don’t want any more than 5/6 years old so keep growing the runners and replacing the plants so you have more in their prime at 2/4 year old, seeing Danny trying to dig suggests to me that you need all the compost/manure etc you can get and raised beds maybe the way to go? Gardening is not an exact science as no season/year is the same you will have good and bad years in equal measure, there are winners and losers every year but we don’t know in advance what they are? Don’t be afraid to try and don’t be disheartened by failure that’s just a fact of life in gardening! Another great and honest video, baby will be in school within a blink, time and tide wait for no one, keep it up, it’s all good! Best Andy.

      Definitely planning to root all the little strawberry runners when they come! 😋🍓 Who can say no to free plants?!?

      el hilo de tefon se ajusta mejor a la rosca y no tendreis fugas de agua al ajustar los grifos .

    Very nice, everything looking great, do you have trouble getting building materials where you are? I would love to do something similar, where would I start to look for property's to renovate are there any particular agents to contact

    • @SmithsdaleFarm

      Luckily we have quite a few good building merchants close by around the Tortosa/Jesús area, and can get hold of most things we need from one or another of them.
      We made a video a while ago, sharing our experience of researching and finding properties, which you might find helpful:
