    As you might know, I watch every episode every week. Your YT channel is one of my favorites. It has everything one could want. Positive family. Adult collaboration. Wonderful parenting. Landscaping. Gardening. Design. Building. Community. Culture. Great filming and editing, including plot, pacing, and character. All the while demonstrating honesty, love, cooperation, perseverance, foresight, intelligence, hardwork, play, gratitude and courage. I love how much you guys have accomplished. And in such a short time! Wow! I love getting to know your family. Wishing you continued blessings.

    A wonderful year you have had with John’s mum coming and then Tara’s parents coming as well and the two most memorable episodes ever were the 300 year old Olive Tree being planted in your turning circle and the bees coming to your farm. You are my most favourite couple on RUclips with your two wonderful little boys and of course Obi your lovely dog. God Bless.❤️❤️❤️

    Wow this episode has brought happy tears down my cheeks!! It is great to watch/share your dreams unfolding seeing the hard work you's have done to lay the foundations for your New home. I realised during this episode how much you's have helped me and how far I have come myself after breast cancer surgery August 23, while having my op the entire back of my own home was being knocked out having 5 RSJ'S to support the house as walls came down to extend for an open plan living, kitchen dining room. Discovering your TheNewbys Channel was a game changer for me it helped motivate/reassure me to get up and start doing the decorating and stuff during and after the building works finished, your lovely family/dog/parents and projects kept me occupied while recovering an waiting for radiotherapy. I so much enjoyed seeing your lovely boys involved /enjoying each project you's began I love the bee's and olive trees and wish you all well Portugal is a better country with you all living there!!

    HAPPY SUNNY SUNDAY NEWBY FAMILY, dear CLOSE friends Tara and John, been with you almost 3.5 years started when you were travelling in your 1st rebuilt van with Crusoe only a few weeks old to Scotland. WHAT A JOURNEY!!! With Safari travelling with you through your EXPLORING Europe, seeing the birth of Sawyer and soon after you moving into your Newby farm. WHAT A YEAR THIS HAS BEEN, AS JOHN SAID SPECTACULAR TO WATCH. Hardships for sure, hard work, lengthy at times but so rewarding when you look how far you have come and the successful accomplishments. THE GREATEST JOYS SEEING YOUR CRUSOE AND SAWYER GROWING AND ENJOYING YOUR ADVENTURE. 300 years old olive tree, bee keeping, chicks now hatching and who can forget your puppy Obi joining the fun. ENJOYING THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOURS, THANK THE LORD YOU CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS. Waiting to see your finished Stone House and the next MAJOR project in your lives. Bravo👏👏👏👏👏 you must be very proud of yourselves and HAPPY. Cheers to another great year. Hugs and kisses to you and ALL your friends who helped you in this year's journey.🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰👱👶🐶🐣🌲🌅🏡🇵🇹💓

    For me as a long time watcher of this Vlog the one thing it does for me is remind me of my dad, every time i see John with a hammer and nails in hand i am reminded of him. He was a Builder/Carpender/Handyman like John, and he spent his life in countryside in rural New South Wales in Australia. John reminds me so much of him..........

    Amazing recap! It was fun to relive the excitement and challenge of it all with you. The farm looks incredible!! You all have done so much work!! The boys have grown so much! Mario is so incredibly good to Crusoe. I think Mario will always have a special place in Crusoe's heart and vise versa. 😊

    John and Tara you both have done so much in year three and your home is becoming a beautiful serene paradise filled with love! I admire your parenting abilities and the love and respect you give to your precious boys. They are so special. I have had a passion for dogs since my childhood and they have played a huge part in my life. (Nineteen total so far). I was so happy to see that you got a puppy and that you picked a really good one! He has the perfect temperament for your family and your life style! Another great decision for your future! ❤

    Many congratulations to you both I am stunned by how much you do and how far you have come in that time! Watching twice a week it hasn't really registered just how much you pack into an episode, I apologise. The crowning glory for me, is the wonderful old Olive tree looking as though it has always been there in pride of place. The garden developing, the chickens and Obi, the excitement of the Bee's and what can possibly fill the heart more to overflow than Crusoe and Sawyer together, Crusoe matching his pace on his bike to his little brothers sometimes stumbling gait or popping tomotos into Sawyers open mouth like a mother bird feeding her young? Always uplifting, always a delight. Thank you both so much.🌹

I especially loved the episodes for the olive trees and when your family visits. And I love watching John’s projects and Tara in the vast garden. You are fortunate to have people like Mario and his awesome son as friends and in many ways your extended family. I look forward to the projects to come. Cheers!

It's been so much fun watching your family grow and you all finding your feet in your surroundings and the people you've met along the way. The Newby's explore is also a brilliant channel you do keep us entertained 🥰
