    Happy, Happy Wednesday dear friends, happy to see @travelbeans with you again, with their little Noah. You asked us to ask you questions, I will do the opposite, ask us why we watch your channel??? Simple answer we on my side, loved and lived in the tourism industry for so many years, loved to see other cultures, but now things have changed the last 4 years, what we love now John and Tara is seeing you with your boys Crusoe and Sawyer, playing with them, watching over them, involving them in your day-to-day adventures on your farm in Portugal. For us that are not able to travel anymore and to live on a farm, it brings us JOY to see you doing so well. We know there are ups and downs but Lord willing you surmount them all. About the deck, John's master carpentry work is now very well known, it needed your touch, Tara, to make it home. Thank-you again for sharing, waiting to see this Friday what you have for us. Indeed, you are blessed beyond compare. 🙏🥰❤️🏊🌸🌹🥀🌄🏡🇵🇹

    I have to say it again, I love so much when John builds. 😍 He blends well with the nature and he just gives everything little special touches. Such care as he builds your family’s future ♥️ so beautiful it brings tears to think of the lovely times you will have there in the future. Your warm comfy touches put the icing on the cake, Tara. Good to see the Beans back, it was nice after a hectic day to relax and catch up with both of you. I saw their video yesterday so I knew who the surprise was 😆 That river with the little water fall was just beautiful what an amazing discovery! Just wait till next summer with both the boys!! Your property is magical. What a great episode. Excited for Friday. My question is what is John’s favourite thing he has built? With his skill I feel like there are many past projects before the van and the homestead so something outside of those prevan/homestead 😆 and Tara what are you missing most about van life?

Bloody beautiful as Tara said and with all the final touches its a lovely place to sit in the evenings and listen to peace and calm. Well done John its a masterpiece❣.

    And I can imagine that sometimes the days are not so sunny as it seems in your Videos! The balance between loving your partner but also now having two kids is sometimes so challenging. Not having time for yourself anymore bc of the kids, enjoying quality alone time to breeth is even more rare!

    Wow John, if you manage to rid yourselves of the dreaded bamboo it will be amazing. Well done.I remember you and Tara and Crusoe as a baby racking and seeding out your lawn. It now looks magnificent, well done to both of you. Joh. You are an artist. The build is magnificent and I love Tara’s touches to decorate things.I love the barrel rings, and you are right. It does frame a beautiful view. What a wonderful creation and you will be able to use it for years and years to come. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

    WhileI was watching your journey down to the river, just as you were getting there, I saw an image of a branch of a plant I recognize. It was a branch with purple berries hanging like grapes. If It is the same I know, it is called pokeweed. It grows in the Southern US in Tennessee and other states down there. The leaves are eatable and those berries make a purple dye. I like to eat the baby shoots in the spring when they are only about six inches tall, but I've seen videos where people eat the leaves when the plant is large. Some people boil the leaves and pore off the water and do it again a few times. When their older they have something in them that needs to go before their fine to eat. After boiling you can stir fry them with some onions and garlic and they come out quite delicious! Look them up on RUclips to learn about them. I would dig some up and bring them home to grow your own. I don't think we pored off the water when they were small and fresh. Anyway I hope I'm right and those are pokeweed, and you start to grow your own. Good luck, Dennis

I’m in my 80’s and left Zim 2000 after numerous unpleasant experiences. I now live in Switzerland but after 24 years still miss my beautiful homeland and am also of portuguese decent. Your Zimbabwe videos were wonderful and now following your ventures in Portugal. Do enjoy them so. Wishing you everything of the best for your wonderful family. ❤❤❤❤
