Happy family doing great on living in Portugal very good parenting
Thank you that’s so kind to say ☺️
I’m absolutely blown away by how good your kids are speaking Portuguese… how long are you guys there already? It’s amazing!!!! Wow.. it’s not an easy language to learn. Well done!!!
Thank you so much! These comments really boost their confidence!! 🙏☺️
So cute to see them learning Portuguese so quick, he has a great accent!
Thank you! It’s very sweet isn’t it ☺️
Loving the children’s adaptation to their new community ❤️❤️❤️
Charming video❤
Thank you ☺️
Thank you they really are settling in so well ☺️
I’m so so soooooo proud of how quickly they are learning Portuguese. You guys are the best.
Awww thank you so much! 🥰
Your whole family is a natural on camera. So many things happened this week-love your pool and the pallet storage. Fred is definitely a future chef 😊
Thank you so much! That’s kinds to say! Yes he definitely has a flare in the kitchen ☺️
😻 can not get over the fact that your children are better at Portuguese than me 😬 it sounded perfect 🇵🇹🤘🏼🥰
You and me both 🙈 they just laugh at me when I try! They are such little sponges ☺️
I'm absolutely amazed by the children Portuguese level! So impressive!
Oh wow that’s so kind to say thank you ☺️
Patio looks fantastic! Hard work does pay off! May you be able to enjoy it everyday!
Thank you 😊
You are definitely in one of the most beautiful areas of Portugal. If you have time go and visit "Gerês".
The way Beatrix counted the potatoes in her hand was so sweet ❤.
I speak English everyday but when I have to count, can't help it, but comes through in mother language 😂. Beatrix just did the same! She's a little Portuguese 😍 now.
Another beautiful episode.
I think so too so in love with this area!
Funny we were only talking today about going to Gerês soon we have heard how beautiful it is.
It’s so funny isn’t it she just comes out with it! And she always speaks to the dog in Portuguese too so sweet!
Glad you enjoyed it thank you for your kind words ☺️
Wonderful episode. Love it all! I would love to see W have a cooking channel! He's great at showing steps and it could be 'Cooking off the land'! Take care and thanks for all the joy and learning.
This is such a good idea!!! ☺️
You are very fortunate to have found a piece of property with so much water flowing through it. For so many homesteaders in Portugal, inadequate water supply is a very big limiting factor. I fact, I imagine, based on my perception of the elevation change and the flow of water you could easily install a 400 watt AC hydro turbine to supplement your PV power supply. The benefit of hydro (and why I recommend small scale AC to start) is that it delivers power 24/7/365 - and that adds up to a greater number than you imagine.
We really feel so lucky to have found this place well funny you say that about a turbine!
We ordered one and had arrived so will be installing it very soon! We can’t wait!
Thank you for watching ☺️
@@THESCOTTERS Great minds!😊
Well done Henricks with the pesto
It was so yummy! 🌿
É muito lindo ver as crianças falando português! E você também Kayla! Parabéns 👏👏👏
Obrigada ☺️
My favourite property ❤ You are so blessed to be living your dreams in such beautiful surroundings!
That’s so kind to say! We really do feel so lucky! ☺️
Your kids sound so good IN Portuguese well done 👍
Aww thank you they will be so happy to hear that! 🤗
Good to see Chippy’s finest working hard! Hope lots of sun tan lotion was applied - Those fair skinned hunks going to burn!!
Sending my love, Digbie xx
Haha yes have to get the Chippy boys to work…earn their beer! You know it lots of sun cream 😆
Xx
Well done guys. Amazed at how well the kids have adapted and thrived!
Thank you! They really are doing so well so proud of them! ☺️
I love the dam! It will be so much fun this summer.
It really is amazing what a difference a few shelves make.
Wilfred is going to make a wonderful chef one day.
Oh my such a difference! Finally starting to get some organisation 😅
Yes we can’t wait for the river when it starts to heat up ☺️
One happy family, absolutely wonderful!
Love from the Netherlands! 😃😘
Thank you so much!☺️
My perfect Sunday evening viewing as usual….friends & family ❤

Nice video with your friends. The children’s enjoying together in the pool. The children’s his Portuguese every time is better and better. Your place is beautiful.😊
Thank you so much we had such a fun week!
Yes they are doing so well ☺️
Pretty please could we have a video purely of river, waterfall and forest footage/sound? It’s so grounding and therapeutic to watch.
I love this idea I will certainly put more sounds of nature in for you ☺️
I hope you can make your swimming hole that holds enough water to cool you off!
Me too 🤞🏼
How great to see all having sooo much fun!!!

Really was super yummy! ☺️
Brilliant family, so natural to watch . ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much ☺️
Amazing! That teepee is awesome! The pesto looked delicious!
It really was so yummy! ☺️
Found you via The Newbys, love all your vlogs so will look forward to catching up every Sunday with your weekly updates 💕
Yay! Thank you! ☺️
Wonderful 😍 the tipi is a 5 star 👍and the river swimming pool is a enchanted place 💖.
The children's Portuguese spoken is very good and they seem happy and proud of their achievements 😍😘😘
Correct spelling is Teepee.😃
Thank you so much! Yes they are so proud of themselves ☺️
@@themintleaf1778 yes 😄 or tepee, my fault... But I wrote tipi because at the time seemed to me the term correspond the international phonetic alphabet.
@@mm.6991 I understand. But English language is so complex there are more letters than pronounce. But spelling it correctly is what we are taught no matter what. If we go by what you say that will be a disaster. Always try to spell correctly. Not by the sound of it. Teepee.
The natural pool looks amazing and the inside of the tipi is so cute!! You got so much done this week. The kids are doing so well with their Portuguese too. As always great video!
Thank you so much! Ahh the pool with be a life saver in the summer ☺️
The water build was fascinating and will be enjoyed by your family and friends for many years. I sure enjoyed hearing the kids speak Portuguese, there is a similarity to Spanish. Your garden will thrive once again in a sunnier area. There are no mistakes in gardening, just a learning experience. I learn every season in my garden in southern California.
Yes I hope so can’t wait for hot summer days there!
That’s such a nice way of thinking of it thank you definitely made me feel better! ☺️
Hello, I probably wouldn’t know about your family except for you visiting the Newbies. I keep track of two other families who are making Portugal their home. They are the Finca Life (there’s a lot to be learned from these two since they’ve been converting their barn (?) to a lovely home and Bea and Leo it’s crazy to see how they are coming back around as they were devastated by the wildfires from about 9 mos ago and they had just purchased it and haven’t even moved into it. After the fires there were flash floods which brought on landslides. Makes me think of SoCal where I was from.
Ok I’m writing to give a few tips on your tomatoes:
The leaves poking to five or six problems but this is what I think regarding yours. Tomatoes love full sun. That’s where I have always grown mine and Southern California gets just as hot as your Portugal. Actually where I grew up and lived got to 100 and even 110-117 Fahrenheit. It may be that you’ll need to trim out the trees above to get sun to them. Not chop it down but trim so they have shadow and light. They need at least 6 hours of southern exposure sun on them. Try that next year. Always plant tomatoes in a different location each year or they won’t have enough nitrogen because tomatoes use up a lot of nitrogen each season. Add nitrogen to the place they were at so whatever you put there will have what it needs.
If you look at different products in the garden center-fertilizers and composts- there will be three numbers on the container. It will say NKP or maybe it’s NPK -doesn’t matter but the three alpha numeric means 1st one is nitrogen, for green, 2nd is for flowers and 3rd is for strength . For tomatoes and any other acidic plants like citrus, certain other flowers need it also but enough said on that for now. If you are going for beautiful blooms second number is most important. Just the same all three numbers can be the same.
Tomato plants don’t like getting there leaves the same for squash. By the way, they also like air circulation. Hot and humid kill.
I was taught at a very early age that “One year seed, equals seven years weed.” Meaning if you allow the seeds of a weed to drop it will take you seven years of weeding for that little mistake.
If the plants have been attacked by a virus sorry to say. You could give it a weed of two-if it continue with everything has to go, all that is sick now, in hopes that it won’t get to the healthy ones. Never put diseased cuttings in your compost it will migrate into something you planted when you used it.
Compost needs to be in as much sun possible this way the center will get good and hot and kill weed seeds and hopefully kill the virus that may have gotten in there. You check for heat by putting in the pitch fork about half way down and lift it up if there is no smoke lay what’s on the fork back down and check again in a week. Once it’s good and hot mix it up and do it again in a couple seeks. Then use half and mix in new stuff to process that.
If you want natural fertilizer: well Rotted compost B will be your nitrogen, then there is blood meal and bone meal. Yes blood and bone for they are dust of the earth but you can grow beautiful plants, flowers, veggies and fruit. If you get Scott’s fertilizer there you should be able to get it . They each have their own packaging. Blood for blooms, bone for strong growth.
If you don’t know why a plant doesn’t look healthy cut it back or remove the whole thing and and destroy it with fire as you should do with those you trimmed the other day.😊
So much to say, no time to say it all.
A couple quick things: Sorry I know this got long!
Tomatoes don’t like wet feet and need quick draining soil but not sand. Put your finger in the soil and if the soil is dry from 1 to 2 inches then water well perhaps 1 or 2 liters. Don’t water again until it is 1 to 2 inches dry. After a while you get used to how plants grow in your soil.
And the last--when it’s getting time to harvest cut back on the watering and the juices of any veg or fruit will be more concentrated of the juices therefore the flavor. Yugoslav to go I hope I help

Wow!!!! What a treasure trove of knowledge! You sound like an amazing gardener I have copied this advise to my notes! Thank you so much! ☺️🙏
Another great vlog, you looked like you were having so much fun 😁Seeing inside of the teepee with the beds in, makes you really appreciate the size of it 😲and how amazing are the children !
Thanks so much! 😊 was so much fun! Yes definitely gives it a good perspective ☺️
This is the best channel for UK abroad
Thank you so much ☺️
Love how happy you all are. Going to try your lovely pesto. Gardening is hard work and a learning process. When making your raised beds, I suggest you line them with cardboard, this will stop a lot of weeds growing through. See you next time, have a great week.
Oh great enjoy it was delicious 😋
Great tip on the raised beds I will definitely do that! ☺️
looks like everyone had so much fun-the pool is great. The children's Portuguese is amazing!
We had such a great day! Thank you 😊
I love your channel ,wh as t a great family you are !
Your children are learning the language di well wow impressive!!
Lovd your quality time w your children!!
You guys are absolutely wonderful!!
The river pool looks so beautiful,wow what a property,gorgeous❤
Thank you so much that’s so kind to say! Yes they are learning so fast…amazing little things!
We feel so lucky to have that little pool area really is a dream come true ☺️
Lovely episode…the best is that you guys have so much fun…blessings.🥰
Thank you so much! ☺️
Happy Fathers Day!
Thank you ☺️
These big kids do dangerous things, the boy almost gets hurt on the riverbank 🤗🤗🤗 Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷🎉❤😂😊
Yes they are little explores but don’t worry no one got hurt ☺️
You’ll love raised beds. So much more control and tidy. Try to make them as high as possible and not too wide to reach across, it will save your back 😀
Yes I really hope so! Good tip I was trying to work out how night they should be! ☺️ thank you
You can use moss to plug the gaps in the pool wall too, you all did an amazing job moving all the stones and it will be fantastic for all of you to use. Love you and your little family and the adventure you have gone on and can’t wait too see what happens next. It won’t be long before you can celebrate getting 10,000 subscribers which will be well deserved after all the effort you have been doing to bring us great vlogs. Sending you love from sunny Devon 🥰🥰
That's a great idea! Thank you!
Ahh that’s so kind we can’t wait to get to 10,000 , thank you for your support really means the world to us ☺️
Wow what a wonderful life you and you beautiful family have its a joy to watch all of your vlogs 😊
Thank you so much 😊
Just idyllic... these videos are stuff of dreams as a family, what lovely memorabilia for the children. ❤
Thank you so much! Yes i really hope it will be special for them to look back and remember all these times one day! ☺️
Love the video. Love the tepee.
What fun, your property is so beautiful and has so much life in it. The only thing do y’all have snakes because the kids walk all around in woods.
I love the dragon flys they are so big and beautiful. Yes garden will take over with weeds but like you said you are learning where things are put in the right place. But look at your bounty it was awesome. Have a blessed week and yes have all visitors help it’s a blessing you are sharing such a magical place and call it home. ❤️😎🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Thank you so much! We have seen a few snakes but very rare and they are harmless luckily ☺️
Yes we feel so lucky to have such lovely friends visiting!
Thank you so much for watching! See you next Sunday ☺️
the kids have a really good portuguese accent
Obrigada João! ☺️ I hope one day to sound like them 😆
Moving your garden up to the house terrace is an excellent idea. If you are going to have a garden that produces mightily, you need to spend at least a little bit of time with it each day - even if it is just a walkthrough. The terrace you planted this year could be put into densely planted varieties of squash, root vegetable (beets, carrots, potatoes all heavily mulched with straw) and corn (interplanted) with the objective of out competing the weeds and improving the soil the fertility of the soil. Regarding the watercress, it may be a fun experiment with you children to collect some mature watercress seeds, dry them and save them to plant for the next growing season. The children will then have experienced the full botanic cycle. Also, regarding the watercress, I would pull the plants that have formed seed heads to revel the sweet watercress that has been shaded by the large plants. That you will give you another opportunity to collect a gobb of watercress this season. Your greenhouse plants are dry. Give them a good watering. Remember, what is in the greenhouse does not get watered naturally. That is why your cucumbers have gone wonky. Veggies like their roots to have fairly consistent moisture.
Im hoping so too I think like you say little and often care will be better!
Love the idea about the watercress seeds thank you will definitely do that! Yes I feel I have neglected the poly tunnel a bit to much ☹️ hopefully will still get some veggies from it 🤞🏼
Yes, you need to take care of the garden all the time! Then you work calmly and do not need additional effort
So true! Thank you for watching ☺️
In that stream you might have trout therefore you need to leave some gaps between the stones
Ohh this is such a great point, I really hope we do that would be amazing will definitely look in to this and make sure it doesn’t obstruct them! ☺️
Awesome shelf unit. I would suggest a loose ( stapled to the end to protect the end of the unit from rain). Wilfred's Portuguese is AMAZING !!!
Ohh good thinking thank you!
🥰 he’s doing so well!
what a lovely episode, the teepee and the water pool are wonderful. blessings and love from Australia.xxxx
So glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Watercress pesto! 😋 My mom used to make watercress soup for us using up day old bread and eggs. So delicious!
Ohh yum that sounds amazing! 😍
@@THESCOTTERS don't forget the garlic and olive oil. 😋
@@amcab1625 oh my favourite things ☺️
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you all guys.
Our pleasure! ☺️
If you dont mind a little advice on the dam.
Build the sides strong but allow the middle to wash away every winter. This will flush away the years accumulated sand and grit.
Use a long, slightly bowed downwards, log to create a wide shallow waterfall top lip to the dam. This allows top overflow during the summer, which keeps the top surface of the pool free from leaves and other floaty stuff.
If all else fails in a dry summer, through a tarpaulin over the whole dam, weight it down and conserve every drop
Of course we don’t mind any advice is so welcome… and this is amazing thank you so much we all definitely take this advise and try and do it’s sounds amazing thanks again ☺️
Just loved the vidio ,as allways ,
The river looks great ,as does the teepee, enjoy ur sleepover ,
Well done with the shelf storage ,could do with some here ,
Hubby not great ar woodwork ,

There. Are so many opportunities for adventure on your land! Bjo
There sure is ☺️
Those are great blankets ❤
What a beautiful life! Cheers from Australia! xxxx 🙃💓
You are so kind! Thank you ☺️
What you need to do with that granitey sand, is fill in the gaps in the stone wall. That will plug the holes far better than more stones. Have fun in the water this Summer.
Ohh great tip thank you ☺️ we will definitely do that!! ☺️
nice😊
Thanks 😊
Great video again.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Great use of pallets!
Thank you ☺️ pallets are a great resource!

Pretty cool providing your needs and most of all how the kids enjoy in all they can help with...and with good friends around ...wonderful😊❤ and how cool ..their are spiking Portuguese so well, good accents and pronunciations ....of course you know this is the Portuguese in Portugal...in Brazil it has a different accent ...and some manners in how using the words..but you are doing really well....I teach English in Brazil and taught English for Americans who were going to work in Portugal and Brazil...it is so cool how it makes people so motivated when they realize they are learning and able to communicate in another language...like becomes full of new things plus making friends easily 🤗💯
Yes we feel so lucky to have such lovely friends ☺️
Your so right now they have learnt a little they are so motivated learn more and more ☺️
