PREPARE FOR TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!
We've been setting up for about half hour but it's been going wrong alot lol.
But hey, that's just how this channel...
Can you beleive it's been 1 whole year since our little lockdown camp got established!
One year ago today (well last night at 2am), we had just arrived on the farm, having been put through quite a nasty situation. Shook up, worried about this very new Virus nobody knew anything about and had been took in by a complete ...
Hello again folks,
How are we all?
Next installment is here and ready to watch.
Quite possibly my favourite one so far to edit at least, it had me chuckling watching the footage back.
In this one we tackle the shed's rough exterior. We'd attepted to put a border on it in Terracotta but almost instantly deci...
After 2 solid weeks of rain & effectively being stuck on the plot, we'd began to run low on supplies. Thus ground had dried out a little but it was still touch and go, but we gave it a try... with a run up!
I think this one has been my favourite so far, just from going back over the footage n giggling at my meltdown...

Here is the link folks, 8:00 we go live!
I've not done this on Patreon before so I'm not sure how its all works fully,
For the chat box you may want to open up Youtube rather than watch it on here, not sure.

In this one we decide on where we should locate our Sh...Outhouse 🤭 We won't be starting to build it yet, but at least clear the path and get the area ready. Then I make a start on digging into the hillside by hand to create a van turning circle, whilst Emma widens the road... and gets her 3rd injury, hav...

In order to get to grips with how the layout is going to be, we decided to lay out the boundery of the veg patch, reusing some of the concrete posts that have been laying around here for years. We also create a wildlife pond down on the bottom terrace to relocate all of the frogs, newts and critters that cur...

We've now officially hit rainy season. The weather turns the whole plot into mush, and barring the odd hour or so of gaps in the weather, we were forced indoors for 2 weeks. We made do the best we could and kept entertained in a number of different methods from nerding out on the playstation to a posh wine, ...

Hey all,
I'm in a mobile editing skunk-works at the moment!
I currently have every video project left from portugal on the go as I've kind of forgot what happened when.
Because of that and a stupid idea to folder each clip in Project order rather than date, it's a complete mess with some funny outcomes. For e...
This one got requested alot and I'd not done a late night tale video for a bit, so here you are: discussing the "ghost" girl in the woods 3 years later.
I don't think I've spoke about it other than face to face with those who have asked.
I'd very much put that to the back of my head and left it there!
I hope you enjo...
Hey guys,
I've been pondering weather on not to do a live stream soon. It's been a while as the public ones are a little full on at times, but after Ash (Lost in Europe) telling me how to setup a Patreon only one, I thought I'd see your thoughts.
If so,
When would work best, weekend? Evening?

Hey guys,
Since the Portugal videos have gone up I've been swamped in messages, back at the land I decided to answer a few more in a Q&A video.
Now it had rained, I wasn't feeling the best and in with the questions were alot of shitty people.
See if you can spot the areas I let slip they've pissed m...
Hey guys,
Part two of the van dock is now ready at your viewing pleasure.
Still loads to do on it but at a later date, but the weird and wonderful ideas keep sprouting on what to incorperate into it!
I hope you enjoy.
Happy Sunday!

I've been wanting to get onto these video's pretty much since doing all this almost a month ago. In which we make a start on the thing I've been dreaming about;
A wooden additional room to the van, that will lock into electric, water, waste & awning mounts.
Something that eliminates the harsh jump in and out o...

It soon become apparent we were going to need some new tools, materials and, frankly, toys to get us through some of our jobs on the land.
With the threat of a Lockdown in Portugal looming we decided to go into town and get as much as we could that we needed ( and some that we just wanted) in one foul swoop.
Inclu...

Hey guys,
So as some of you have seen, we've had to uproot and come back the the UK this weekend.
Absolutally gutted, but thanks to a Burocracy, Covid and Brexit shit cocktail we had no choice.
Anyway, we made it back safe, avoided the forced hotel £1700 malark by 24 hours and are now safe quarantining onc...

Hey guys,
Thanks to our residency STILL not being processed even though we sorted it before Xmas & now this new forced hotel quarantine, we've had to return home to avoid being trapped out the 90 days and fined.
Absolutely fuming and apologies for the wind noise and lack of quality of the video, but we have 72 hour...
Hey guys,
Here we go! After a few mad weeks and content thats been a bit "all over the place"
We're back on track and a structured stream of videos.
Join me, Emma & Lance as we arrive back into Portugal, make it up to the land and make a proper start on making it the retreat I've been dreaming ab...

OK so you guys have already seen some videos,
But this ones is the YT continuation, quarantine, getting the van through its MOT... Just, and grabbing Emma before jumping back on the ferry to come back to the land.
After buying the land I swiftly had to return home, quarantine and sort some bits out.
You guys already know we're back now but this is just a continuation on from the story and that promised extra episode for Patreons only.
Currently we're sat in the van waiting out a horrific storm that's been battering us for 4 ...
Tonight we're figuring out what's going where, without it on paper, my mind wonders and I forget all the ideas we come up with, so notebooks are pretty important around here.
A quick shout out and thanks to Steve Wild, your PayPal gift for "some whiskey" went on just that, as well as some chews for Lance.

Hey folks.
Been bloody busy over here tinkering and building, but now you can finally see the plot in detail in this little tour video, I'll keep this short and sweet because signal is intermittent, but all the details are in the vid.
Enjoy!
Hey all,
It's all gone a little quiet from me since the last video I know, We've been toiling away here on the plot and honestly, I've just stepped away from the internet side of life to enjoy some time off and spend some quality time with Emma and Lance.
I have been recording the odd project we've been doing here, whic...
Here it is folks, the end...for now.
I'd like to say a massive thank you to you all for your continued support even during this man and uncertain time.
The land itself was funded by selling my beloved Classic Mini, as seen at the end, but there is no doubt about it, you lot funded this trip, the new cam...

A storm had battered the campsite we'd taken shelter at the night previous, but our problems still weren't over. With no vegitation or trees to absorb the rain water, it was running off of all the hills and raising the river dramatically. The rain stuck around for 5 days making most things impossible, so we bunkered dow...

Merry Christmas Eve! Here's another video.
After a repairing a small breakdown involving, once again, my air suspension. I hit the road again this time by driving with nothing but my commpass and heading West to see what I find.
I end up in an area that has suffered a huge fore...
In this episode I visit Ken & Gina of the Youtube channel OKportugal andgather some golden jewels of knowledge and advice from these guys that have been out here for a year and are making there Quinta woork once again.

Currently working on the last 4 videos simultaneously to get them out before 2020 is over. 🤞
Then you can finally see what all the fuss has been about.
Me and Emma are back here now after my brief stint back in the UK (did my quarantine, hated being back, grabbed Emma, left again 😂) and have been working away ...
Good news! Where I was stood desperately trying to gain enough signal to post yesterday, 6 feet to the left of there was perfect 4G! So here it is!
It's been a while getting things in order and waiting for processes to be sorted out.
But after visiting my laywer and receiving all good news we could now s...
