  • Hi, we are Harriet and Mauro and in February 2021 we bought an abandoned smallholding in Castellón, Spain. In these videos we share our life as we restore and improve our little stone house, learn to grow and preserve our own food, and bring our 4 acres of farmland back to productivity.

    Do you want to give Harriet and Mauro a hand for free? Do you have 10 seconds or 21 seconds to spare? It's easy and free. For a 15 second ad, DON'T hit the skip button. for a longer ad, Watch it for 31 seconds before you hit the skip button. The income that Harriet makes on RUclips is dependent on how many people watch the ad. Typically, that's only five people out of 100. I know ads are annoying,, but the value that she gives us in learning and entertaining Is surely worth 15 or 21 seconds of our time. You can use that time to look at something 20 ft away for 20 seconds to reduce eye strain. It's a win-win.

    oh man, we have starlink for a year now (also working remote) and it was a struggle without it. Only problem is that with thunderstorms and harsh rains it sometimes bogs out. But it works like 99,99% of the time.

    I put up a magnetic screen door for my apartment in Guatemala. It's wonderful. It's very easy for my cat and me to go in and out. Since we have dengue in the area, it's very important to have mosquito protection. I'm sorry that you got one that was so complicated to put up. All I had to do was tack it around the door frame.

      There is no need for one. In a quart jar, I put 1 cup of fruit, you can add sugar to taste and fill with boiing water. I water bath mine for 10 minutes. Remove from water bath pot. Let them cool for 24 hrs. Give them 4 to 6 weeks and enjoy. Lots of recipes out there.

    great video as usual and they do give me other trains of thought to apply to our particular journey here in southern Hungary. Like you, I publish videos but mainly about growing organic fruit and veg and I envy your water supply as we are currently experiencing drought conditions here. My interest was sparked even more than usual when you spoke about Starlink. Like you, I get very frustrated with the poor internet connection we have here, and uploading videos takes an age. Is it really true that Starlink is so much faster. I checked my area and that seems to be the case. Was it easy to install or did you get a compnay in to do it for you?
