Every time I watch your RUclips videos I wish I was 20-30 years younger as I am 72 years old. I agree how you financially support your self is no one business but thank you Kylie and Guy for informing people how you go about making money to pay for building supplies ( do they think you get it for free) soo you Sydney Evan’s you are rude for asking . Kylie and Guy you are doing a great job and keep dreaming the dream love watching you both ❤😊
I CANNOT believe anyone who watches your vlogs could possibly call you 'lay abouts'!!! Two of the hardest working people on RUclips!!! Seeing what the two of you have accomplished in the past while is exhausting. I'd love to see what the 'lay about' commentor has accomplished in that time. Wowser. Hugs from 🇨🇦
@Home Remedy Sanctuary it means 'lazy', all they do is lay about......which is the opposite of Guy and Kylie who are always doing something. Even resting Kylie is knitting those ottomans, Guy is making spirits or they are researching and editing.....
I am Portuguese (from Madeira - you must visit when you have time (LOL), it's beautiful) but have lived in London/Hertfordshire for many, many years and I love watching you both and your progress. I find it quite hilarious that some people actually watch your videos and still call you layabouts 🤣🤣🤣, I watch a few of these videos and you're one of the hardest working couples (to be fair Kylie does a lot) that I watch. I think you're absolutely amazing, well thought out plans and you get accused of being layabouts - sorry, I just find that so hilarious. Keep going, you're amazing, both of you!!!!
Well, you are ... rich indeed !, because you are rich in talents, rich in creativity, rich in ideas, rich in humour sense, and many more. Plus, you also have the right amount of obstinateness that sometimes is needed to overcome difficulties in pursuing your goals. Congratulations for your project.
Maybe you should start an Amazon wish list, for absolutely everything that you need. For yourselves and for the renovations and crocheting. You’re going to be surprised by the generosity of your RUclips audience
I agree I would never ask people's financial situations but admire you for coming straight out with it. It's nothing to do with anyone else, I just love seeing you both on your little land. Xxxx
I love your blue crochet project that you are working on! Awesome work of talent !! Girl you are master in everything that you desire to do! You both are inspirational to all of us! Love Your Channel! ❤
I think it's hysterical that anyone that has watched one of your videos would call you two layabouts!! You do more in half an hour that I do all day!!:] Love watching you learn and I'm learning from you:]
Guy and Kylie, I think you are very, very rich. You have each other, your farm, your passion for your dreams, your sense of humor, your character, all except for the farm money cannot buy. And to add to that, you are sharing your successes and minimal failures with the rest of the world. You are ROCKING IT !!!
Most olive trees have a 2 year cycle. One year, they grow new branches and new leaves. The next year, they grow fruit. The branches and leaves have strengthened to carry the burden of the new fruit. That is why most plantations have two genus variations so as to have fruit every year, albeit from only 1/2 the total trees in the orchard. (I am a 75 yo Australian who grew olives in Oz.) They may have created a new genus that produces fruit annually but I doubt it as the growing history of this fruit goes back thousands of years.
Thank you for your lovely responses to some questions. Anyone just watching you should be able to tell you two are very well prepared for what you are doing. Hopefully your answers will help others of your caliber to succeed their attempts. You two are lovely people.
I think that your approach was well thought out. Thank-you for explaining something that isn't anyone's business but your own. That you did so speaks well of your transparency and desire to enlighten others that have a similar desire to relocate and live sustainable lives.
It's a funny thing. When others see someone living maybe a not so conventional, yet desirable, lifestyle you often hear the comment 'How do they afford that?'. I think if you want to do something, you will find a way. Sometimes it takes planning, sometimes it takes sacrifice, sometimes it takes a level of hard work many would not think of attempting and sometimes it takes all of those. Throw in a little time, patience and courage, those always help too, and you'll be on your way. All the best on your journey, enjoying the videos. 🌸
@@rodagrail3231 I think you missed my point. Those 'nice warm fuzzy feeling' comments which offer advice to people without telling people what you ACTUALLY did really have junk value .. and you repeat the same pattern unfortunately. WHAT has Honey B (and for that matter, you also) actually done ? That was my question. The internet is full of meaningless commentary to make ourselves feel better ... it is more meaningful to tell us what you actually did so we can understand the context of your advice.
@@grassabrutta I think they are saying if you are poor, you have none of these attributes and it's you're own fault. Nevermind the fact that it can take generations to dig out of the poverty hole.
Questions aren't rude, only the people that ask them in an unpolite manner :) Everyone that sent us private messages were very polite. We thought it was good info to share for people interested in making a similar move
Cannot believe anyone would call you two layabouts. You both work so hard living your new life in Portugal. You have planned well and wish continued happiness and success in all you do. I have enjoyed all your videos and look forward to many more.
I cannot believe that anyone has the nerve to ask about your income!! You two work so incredibly physically hard… amazing!!! I love your property and your fabulous work ethic!!
Omg, thankfully you can laugh about rich layout comments. We were going to come to Portugal to live before credit but in my usual attention seeking way I jumped on the cancer train, we are still trying to figure out the a new route and still end up in Portugal. You guys are amazing and very hard-working. People are just jealous of anything people have worked hard for. Keep it up 😁😎😇
Rich layabouts! 🤣 I’ve never seen two people work as hard as you do. And yes, you have a very rich lifestyle, as you have explained. As an OAP, I’m happy you emphasized the years of prep to get to that position. 🌺
I’m so happy your channel showed up in my feed!! I’m quite impressed with both of you but absolutely love Kyle go get it personally!! I’m extremely impressed in how hard you work & how well you work together!! You truly are an inspiration!! Blessings from Kentucky 🇺🇸🐎
We moved to SW France about the same time as you moved to Portugal (Brexit / Johnson escapees). We also set our income streams up ahead and we also spend *way* less than our income. A bit of sour grapes from that viewer methinks...
I was so inspired by your story that I began to make plans to do something similar. I did however have to come to the realization that I'm not disciplined enough to do the work you guys do daily. I do love the idea of renovating my own place or some ruin type houses (found a few in Portugal). the ungodly amount of work that would go into something like this knowing that Id be doing it alone is daunting. Just know that you guys are inspiring and that I will live vicariously through your story!
The crochet project did surprise me, cannot tell a lie. The fact that you've worked for 10 years to put this in place, was no surprise at all. Congratulations on your success.
You may not work for salaries, but you actually work harder than most peole. You also entertain and teach. If that isn't work, I don't know what is. I certainly like watching your videos.
So many people ask this question I think it's more for to see if they would be able to do this themselves and live this lifestyle , I think it's the richest lifestyle ever,,,,, keep enjoying it all , love your volg , ❤
Short answer: Yes you are! Having enough to Income and savings to be the master of your own time is the definition of being rich. If you are frugal that can work at very modest figures.
Keep shining like the crazy diamonds you are 😁💎💎. It is great that you have planned for this, you work so hard to achieve such wondrous stuff. I loved the foot stool...beautiful! 💖
You are so honest and generous in your sharing, amazingly beautiful and intelligent people. It is good that you are responsible and thoughtful human beings inspiring others others.😊🙏
Kylie if you search for ‘continuous zipping’ for upholstery you can by long lengths which you can cut to length and and the zipper etc which come with it. Amazon stocks it.
Hi I have crocheted a stool like this before and was advised to put the zip across the diameter of bottom circle …….easier size zip to find and sit on floor more flush ……just a suggestion
So sorry you lost us, but now you can binge on our past couple of years. Check the playlists to pick your preferred topics, or there’s one that has all videos in order (including many that we brought over from the other channel). There’s also a couple of longer catch-up videos if you’re itching for an overview first 😀
I appreciate your financial transparency. Wow Kylie! I have done only a tiny bit of self-taught crocheting and that does not appear to be a newbie, easy project. It's beautiful work! I continue to be impressed with both of your cumulative skills. You know this, but you make a great team! I so look forward every video to hearing Kylie's background/offscreen "bye-bye". 👋👋
It actually wasn’t too difficult, but it does require a little more focus. Since I tend to crochet at night with a glass of wine I inevitably find mistakes the next morning and have to undo/redo .... the gift that keeps giving as we say 😂
Just found your channel! Subscribed. My husb. And I live in silver coast Portugal and are former homesteaders from Maine in the USA. You folks are awesome!!!!
I’m so impressed , of course with your financial planning but Kylies crochet is exceptional for someone who learned recently (I have taught crochet for years) and I’m glad you are using Welcome, I make rugs and baskets from their t’shirt yarn it washes and washes, looks good as new and stands up to my dogs and cats🥇❤️
I bought some of their t-shirt yarn too .... and started making a rug, but then got sidetracked with learning mosaic crocheting. So many projects, so little time 😂😂
@@MAKEDOGROW Isn't that just life. You do one thing, have a think and go off on a tangent have another think and go somewhere else. This happens to me all the time and its great that at some point you will go back to where you were or the whole cycle happens again. BTW I did something very similar to you in 2004 and have not regretted any of it other than where I chose to live is a tad more expensive than where you live but the climate is the same. Thanks for posting
@@footplate0 indeed! I actually started to learn to crochet so I could add on a nice border to a blanket that I finished knitting.... still haven’t made it back to that blanket 😂
Whoever said you were layabouts have clearly not watched your videos! There is for sure no laying about, quite the opposite. Really appreciate you sharing your life.
You guys are the really, really smart ones that know how to stretch money - witness, the months and months in a tent - and saving till you can make it happen. You actually "wear me out" watching the efforts you make in the physical work that is always done to perfection. And very clever to teach yourself new skills. You may find an upholstery site to buy a continuous length of zipper that you cut and fashion yourself. For something like the poof, I would look for a nylon zipper if you can find it rather than metal for the comfort of feel. You guys are stars!
Someone who is an upholsterer of car seats and trimming ie. makes sports car hoods will have zippers also craft shops would be swimming in zips. P.S.y I live in Australia but love your work and believe me you have proved every week just how hard you work.
Could snaps work instead of a zipper I think it might even work a little better for you than a zipper.Buttons with a crochet loop to go around the button just some ideas. Love your vlog and keep living the good life.💖😊💖You might have to sew some fabric to your crochet to put the snaps on.
There are always malcontents in every crowd! You both are FAR from lazy! Your finances are no one else’s business but that said, encouraging people to plan is very helpful. I’ve enjoyed your videos so much, your cleverness, your humor. Keep up the good work! 😊🎉
You are very generous to give any explanation at all on your finances. Calling you guys 'rich layabouts' is a case of the green-eyed monster. You guys work so hard and are doing a great job.
I saw Kylie’s excitement when yarn arrived in a previous video and immediately thought oh a fellow knitter. But I was completely blown away with crocheting ( which I cannot do)… that work is a masterpiece that only a mathematical mind could do. Brilliant work!
You need to get a couple of sheep. They will keep the weeds down. Add compost to the soil, provide milk and meat and you will have fiber that you can spin for your own yarn. Plus they are tons of fun.
I’ve got mates in Portugal…. Live on a thousand quid happily. Make a few quid here and there selling olives, lemons etc. They seem much more contact than me doing a job paying 6 times that amount. Hoping to follow in your footsteps one day not too far away. Good luck with it all
Well done Kylie!!! Very nice, I've been crocheting for about 30 years & have made a few afghans. Love the mosaic patterns & the functionality of the foot poof!
Absolutely love the foot stool!! Well done being newish to crocheting and making something so lovely!! Please show your other projects. 👍 I always have a few crochet projects going at any given time. Keep up the great work!!
You guys are a great team. And both equally so talented and hardworking. You guys are an inspiration to a lot of folk around the world. That crochet bag is absolutely beautiful. And my favorite color, blue! How the hell you have time to do all that??? I am just blow away. You guys work so hard, you both deserve everything you have. That farm is just going to be a fabulous place, soon you guys will be selling tickets for folks to come and tour the place. I admire folks like you both. Gifted in the arts and so hardworking.
You have sent me down a whole rabbit hole on RUclips and Pinterest of Mosaic Crochet. I had not heard of it before. It is very effective and after learning a little about it I am keen to try it myself. The pouffs will look great when finished.
I've just added a link to the video description to the channel that I learnt from watching ... a short 5 part series with a couple of small practical samples to make.
Well those people who made that negative comment obviously do not watch your videos on a regular basis. You two are the hardest working couple. I so admire everything you are doing with your property and your home renovation. Best of luck to you.
It's amusing how some people who don't work 9 to 5 jobs call others layabouts. If I was younger I'd love to live like you do. Congratulations on living your dream. Your home and land is beautiful.
You can buy zippers by the meter or yard then buy the zipper head separately. So you can have the zippers as long or as short. You may mainly find them where upholstery haberdashery is or in the market. I have no idea what it would be like in Portugal but maybe on amazon or ebay.
Hello Kelly you can buy the zipper by meter online here : @andarnalua. For your puff I advise to buy the number 5 because is stronger. Any dauth please let me know. Congratulations for your amazing work. We follow your channel since the beginning!
How can anyone call you a layabout? You are a very hard working couple. I'm sure the foul commenter could not last a day doing the hard work you put in digging or laying in that floor or the dozens of chores you do daily. Best wishes, You are both very inspirational.
Mosaic crochet😍. It has become my favourite crochet technique. I make bedspreads king and queen size. Planning is key to getting to a place in life that nourishes the soul. And it takes work to get there also.
I'm South African born Portuguese and my mom used to spend a lot of her free time when I was growing up doing CROCHET and she was really good at it. She did very fine fillegre type but when her hands started to cause her pain. She stopped. She passed away last year and I miss her sooooo much. My point is thank you for sharing your crochet work. It brought back a torrent of great memories. BTW my mom was born near Coimbra in central Portugal in a little village called Senhor da Serra, do yourselves a favour and go visit in August when they have the festivals there. God bles you.
Hello, I realy like the way you explain your "living". I dinden't get were you live here in Portugal, but if you are near, there is a shop in Coimbra that has the zipper you need. It is called Tecidos de Coimbra - retosaria. I love crochet as well. All the best. Anita.
I enjoy watching you two. You are very intelligent and hardworking. Interesting that someone would call people who work as hard as you do layabouts....from their computer on their couch. I crochet and I love your pouf. If I were you I would stuff it with balls of yarn wink wink. You could use a small zipper, enough to get the stuffing out and sew the rest closed.
A great channel and inspiring for so many of us adopting a self-sufficient lifestyle. I'm currently undertaking a 'new' build and have spent the last eight months establishing a no-dig garden, fish pond and fruit trees on 6,400ms. I really enjoy learning from your mistakes, as I do from mine. Again, a great channel, and I wish you all the wealth and health you so deserve.
With the lack of rain this summer there is a shortage of Olives this year in Spain - Italy - Portugal. and we feel for you as its not rained here in Southern England. the last time we had any rain was mid-June and forecast says no rain till late August at the best.

Most olive trees have a 2 year cycle. One year, they grow new branches and new leaves. The next year, they grow fruit. The branches and leaves have strengthened to carry the burden of the new fruit. That is why most plantations have two genus variations so as to have fruit every year, albeit from only 1/2 the total trees in the orchard. (I am a 75 yo Australian who grew olives in Oz.) They may have created a new genus that produces fruit annually but I doubt it as the growing history of this fruit goes back thousands of years.
Olives grow on two year old branches, so if you cut them back you will get your super rich olive harvest next year

You are very generous to give any explanation at all on your finances. Calling you guys 'rich layabouts' is a case of the green-eyed monster. You guys work so hard and are doing a great job.
I saw Kylie’s excitement when yarn arrived in a previous video and immediately thought oh a fellow knitter. But I was completely blown away with crocheting ( which I cannot do)… that work is a masterpiece that only a mathematical mind could do. Brilliant work!
Thank you for sharing. It really opens my mind on the need of having different revenue streams to support future plans. Love it!
You need to get a couple of sheep. They will keep the weeds down. Add compost to the soil, provide milk and meat and you will have fiber that you can spin for your own yarn. Plus they are tons of fun.
I’ve got mates in Portugal…. Live on a thousand quid happily. Make a few quid here and there selling olives, lemons etc. They seem much more contact than me doing a job paying 6 times that amount. Hoping to follow in your footsteps one day not too far away. Good luck with it all
Well done Kylie!!! Very nice, I've been crocheting for about 30 years & have made a few afghans. Love the mosaic patterns & the functionality of the foot poof!
Love the pouffe, zips? Amazon of course.
Absolutely love the foot stool!! Well done being newish to crocheting and making something so lovely!! Please show your other projects. 👍 I always have a few crochet projects going at any given time. Keep up the great work!!
You guys are a great team. And both equally so talented and hardworking. You guys are an inspiration to a lot of folk around the world. That crochet bag is absolutely beautiful. And my favorite color, blue! How the hell you have time to do all that??? I am just blow away. You guys work so hard, you both deserve everything you have. That farm is just going to be a fabulous place, soon you guys will be selling tickets for folks to come and tour the place. I admire folks like you both. Gifted in the arts and so hardworking.
very hardworking and good plans you have made
I'm impressed by the poof cushion
Kylie you a very clever ….that footstool is gorgeous well done 👌
It's nobody's business what your financial status is... you shouldn't ever bother answering. You are rich in inspiration, and we love you!
You both are very inspiring and I love you both… and I love the crochet project Kylie … ❤️
Amazing crochet! Could also be a large shopping bag :)
You’ll probably like the bag in this video then 😃

Love your work ethic to get where you are today. More people need to rethink how they live. Keep up the great work and God be with you.
You have sent me down a whole rabbit hole on RUclips and Pinterest of Mosaic Crochet. I had not heard of it before. It is very effective and after learning a little about it I am keen to try it myself. The pouffs will look great when finished.
I've just added a link to the video description to the channel that I learnt from watching ... a short 5 part series with a couple of small practical samples to make.
Well those people who made that negative comment obviously do not watch your videos on a regular basis. You two are the hardest working couple. I so admire everything you are doing with your property and your home renovation. Best of luck to you.
It's amusing how some people who don't work 9 to 5 jobs call others layabouts. If I was younger I'd love to live like you do. Congratulations on living your dream. Your home and land is beautiful.
Very nice pouf 👍🏻You might get Zippers produced for bed linen, which are long enough and easy to cut to measure 😊
Beautiful crochet work! I’m amazed you have time to do that you are SO busy!
Thanks! I manage to carve out a little time each evening ... is the best way to rewind at the end of the day 😀
Upholstery zips can be cut to any length they are sold from a long roll of zip with the zipper bits just slid along and then cut off.
You can buy zippers by the meter or yard then buy the zipper head separately. So you can have the zippers as long or as short. You may mainly find them where upholstery haberdashery is or in the market. I have no idea what it would be like in Portugal but maybe on amazon or ebay.
Hello Kelly you can buy the zipper by meter online here : @andarnalua. For your puff I advise to buy the number 5 because is stronger. Any dauth please let me know. Congratulations for your amazing work. We follow your channel since the beginning!
Lovely crochet poof. If you can't find a big zipper maybe you can attach half of the bottom and add a zipper to the other half ?
How can anyone call you a layabout? You are a very hard working couple. I'm sure the foul commenter could not last a day doing the hard work you put in digging or laying in that floor or the dozens of chores you do daily. Best wishes, You are both very inspirational.
impressive crocheting
Mosaic crochet😍. It has become my favourite crochet technique. I make bedspreads king and queen size.
Planning is key to getting to a place in life that nourishes the soul. And it takes work to get there also.
I'm South African born Portuguese and my mom used to spend a lot of her free time when I was growing up doing CROCHET and she was really good at it. She did very fine fillegre type but when her hands started to cause her pain. She stopped. She passed away last year and I miss her sooooo much. My point is thank you for sharing your crochet work. It brought back a torrent of great memories.
BTW my mom was born near Coimbra in central Portugal in a little village called Senhor da Serra, do yourselves a favour and go visit in August when they have the festivals there.
God bles you.
Hello, I realy like the way you explain your "living". I dinden't get were you live here in Portugal, but if you are near, there is a shop in Coimbra that has the zipper you need. It is called Tecidos de Coimbra - retosaria.
I love crochet as well.
All the best.
Anita.
Love the crochet; admiration from a fellow crocheter.
Love your crochet.
Layabouts...seriously, people are so mean sometimes. Keep going the good job. We are starting a similar project in 2 month in France. Best. Romain
I enjoy watching you two. You are very intelligent and hardworking. Interesting that someone would call people who work as hard as you do layabouts....from their computer on their couch. I crochet and I love your pouf. If I were you I would stuff it with balls of yarn wink wink. You could use a small zipper, enough to get the stuffing out and sew the rest closed.
A great channel and inspiring for so many of us adopting a self-sufficient lifestyle. I'm currently undertaking a 'new' build and have spent the last eight months establishing a no-dig garden, fish pond and fruit trees on 6,400ms. I really enjoy learning from your mistakes, as I do from mine. Again, a great channel, and I wish you all the wealth and health you so deserve.
You are rich 👌❤️👍🏻💰 rich in life and life's dreams x
You can get long zips from a sailmaker, looks good.
The footstool is lovely, zippers available on Amazon .
With the lack of rain this summer there is a shortage of Olives this year in Spain - Italy - Portugal. and we feel for you as its not rained here in Southern England. the last time we had any rain was mid-June and forecast says no rain till late August at the best.
