    I follow many RUclips channels from people of various nationalities living in and around Castelo Branco, however, only you guys actually speak Portuguese wonderfully well. It's so refreshing! To see "expats" assimilated in the local community and actively promoting local events and cultural life definitely makes this channel stand out. Brilliant work, thank you!

      That is an amazing compliment Orlando, Muito obrigado.
      We came here to live and work a farm, we deliberately chose an area with very little 'expats' around and as we were welcomed by everybody in our village with such kindness we made friends very quickly.
      I just dont understand those that move here and dont integrate into the local community, i hear them all say they love Portugal but do nothing but talk bad about them or build illegal 'retreats' or homes and still drive UK cars around after years.
      I think they like Portugal because they think they can come and live under the 'radar' buy a bit of land and build what they like... that is not helping Portugal at all and i find it insulting as i feel Portugal is my home for life and hate seeing Portugal being abused.
      But by the looks of how little subscribers we have compared to many other bigger channels it seems people are only interested in the 'amazing' lives of those living illegally here in wooden huts, trucks and yurts etc.
      We lost hundreds of thousands of Euros because of the builder, money i planned to start tourism with, we have spent years struggling and there were a few years where we only ate once a day but despite all those losses we are fully legal here, we pay tax, our farm is registered as are the animals, just like i would live in my home country... so if we can do it the others don't have any excuses.
      We promote many local events and always support our community because it is our 'home' and we are very proud to live here amongst such good people.
      ❤🇵🇹

Goats are enjoying the lovely lush grass. I do hope you manage to get some wild boar for Xmas lunch. Thankyou for sharing, stay safe and sane.

    Alex a quick note on the flowering plant at about 5:00. I am pretty sure this is "yucca gloriosa" one of the species of yucca native to the Southeastern USA. They dont die after flowering and here in Georgia generally flower in late spring and again in the Autumn most years. Its a drought tolerant xeric plant requiring little to no maintenence. I grow it myself. Agaves are related plants that in most species do die after flowering if they have not pupped. If you, Molly or Sandra are into succulents at all I do suggest you look into growing agaves. Agaves are truly gorgeous plants! Randy/GA

      Thanks for the info,
      I have not seen any of these flower before so it seemed strange.
      your right i moved them there is i like them and when they do flower it is pretty impressive. Will get Molly to have a look as she is very in to cactus and grows loads, she had some beauties but the goats came and ate them all🙄😂
