    Seeing Joal with your kids is the most amazing thing. How many other 17 year old boys do you know that are that kind and tender to someone else's toddler aged children. Most are off doing their own thing. JOAL is as hard working as John is in every way. His parents must be so proud of the man he's becoming. Thank you, Joal, for your loving tenderness and time to your neighbors.

    It's so fascinating to see your projects developing and growing in ambition, while all your skills and know-how continue to grow to meet the new challenges. Hopefully you get moments to reflect on how far you've come and how much you've all grown. Your boys are extraordinary, and so advanced in everything they do, and it's beautiful to see how you've put down roots and got support from a community of neighbours, locals and friends. It's all quite amazing - more power to you!

Crusoe’s language is remarkable- my favorite part was when he is digging the trench and tells John “daddy this is hard work I help you “ It must feel so surreal to have this place and see your children running and building. Have a wonderful week family! Love from Jersey-Mariana ❤

    Hello Newbys It was lovely to see you all back on the farm working together and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
    It was wonderful to see Crusoe in the thick of things helping Joao and Sawyer walking around the farm enjoying the open and wide spaces.
    Can't wait until your next project.

    I bet it feels so wonderful all the way down deep to your soul to be home. I so get it. As I was watching Sawyer and John by the spicket. I saw that Sawyer was not really putting everything in his mouth like a lot of little people his age seem to do. He seems to want to try to build or create with it like he see's his whole family does. And I think that is because he see's his big brother also participate in everything. It is just so awesome to see them develop, Crusoe has grown so much and now we get to see Sawyer too. Wow. You have a right to be so proud of what you have done with them.

    another easy project for you would be the greenhouse, it's looking rather algae covered & only need a quick wash with a broom ;
    great idea having taps in convenient places to water other nooks & crannies where the plants grow, it will be so pretty around the tiny house you won't want to leave :))
    Johal (spelling) does a wonderful job of helping to look after your farm

    What a contrast! I just finished watching your video in Jaipor, followed by your return to Portugal. What an overload of sights and sounds! Although the sights of India was more than anyone could possibly take in, it was the background sounds that really had an impact on me as I watched your videos. The cacophony of sounds that resonate throughout India consisted of; people talking, feet tapping, pigeon wings clapping, horns honking, rats scurrying, car engines gunning, goats bleating, vendors selling, the sweet, excited voices of your lovely children, and so much more. Then there are the sounds on your return home video which was such a contrast. It consisted of; melodic bird songs, rooster crowing, shovels digging, and once again the sweet, excited voices of your lovely children. Awww, peaceful at last. What a great adventure and experience for you and especially the boys.
    Thank you so very much for sharing your journey. I'm truly amazed by your beautiful family. Your children reflect your parenting in the best way as you patiently teach, guide, encourage, love and protect them without being overly protective. You're wonderful role models of kindness, hard work, joy in the little things, curiosity, adventure and bravery, just to name a few.
    You are such a a blessing to anyone who watches your videos. May God make his face to shine down on you as he continues to bless and keep you. ☺️❤️🙏

    Wonderful to see you back. I can't believe the weather, your last video there was really I'm guessing was only coming into winter, now it's spring, I could have cried with the feeling that came across, you can tell that the sun has strength in it, even before you said the temperature. I love spring the start of a new year were life starts to wake up again, you certainly have very short wires there,( should I re locate!) . Love the bare feet brigade , Crusoe is such a little worker, but kids love to help and be part of what your doing, they don't realise that they are learning so much, you are truly blessed with a wonderful family in a wonderful place, but in return you share it with us, so thank you.❤❤

    Is that what they call that tool up where you are as in the Algarve we call it a shover . Good to see you back on the farm it is such a wonderful place and will be magical when you have it all the way you dreampt. Crusoe really is a lovely boy and like you said his language has come on in leaps and bounds , also sawyer his smile is infectious I think he is going to be just as lovely as his brother . Yes the weather is amazing isn’t it ! Not having to wear a winter coat scarf and gloves , that’s the wonderful thing about Portugal most of your life is spent outdoors rather than shut in four walls . ❤❤
