  • We want to encourage as much wildlife back to the property after the fire and flash flood destruction last year. This 400 square foot pond in the forest was washed away and filled in with silt during the incredibly heavy rains. It’s time to dig it out and bring it back to life!

    Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

      You know I’d absolutely love to, but I get around in a wheelchair so can’t do hikes & such. Such a bummer. But I’m so happy for you two & whoever goes along with you on the trips. They’ll be quite fortunate to hang out with you in nature. Hugs~Mare

    It boggles my mind the amount of time that the previous owners put into making your place filled with so many different trees. And even though you’ve lost some from the fire, you’ve got so many more blessings that were left unharmed. I enjoy the enthusiasm watching you both build your property back up. It’s definitely a beautiful site

    I love your videos and your property, but can I just say Bee , that you appear to be doing an amazing job of being yourself (I know appearance can be deceptive in respect of how well you actually are) and as someone that suffers with my mental health, you inspire me to keep strong and keep going- I want to thank you for keeping me inspired in ways you can’t possibly know xxx 🧚‍♀️

    BOTH of you are soo happy!! You were happy living on the other property and working on the Barn, but you seem like a New Theo and a New Bea! You’re constantly smiling, laughing, and your humor and funny comments make me smile and adds a bit of happiness to my world. Bea your comment about it not being “your day”, then the bird pooping on your head made me laugh. Saying I’m happy for you just doesn’t seem the right word, but hopefully you understand. I just wish I was there enjoying repairs on Miracle Mountain. What a blessing!

    It's amazing to see all the simple yet ingenious systems that are in place all over the mountain. With all of them (eventually) restored you will not only keep the water under control but also have a fantastic setup to make good use of the springs to give everything on the property plenty of water during hot summers.
    Looking forward to seeing when you find that elusive second spring somewhere above that big bolder and "water mine".
