I discovered your channel today and it’s amazing to see that they are so many English speaking people (not only from UK but USA, Australia, Netherlands and so on.... ) established in Portugal renovating old abandoned farm/building, growing food, try to live off grid. I love watching all these channels, progresses all of you are making, all the energy you are spending to make your dream come true. You all are brave and hard workers, bravo. All of you had bad times during the past winter with rain. And all of you seem to have spring in your properties. Do you know the Newbies ? I’m watching from Normandy🇫🇷 and by the way why don’t you “ like the French “? 😂😂😂😂 (People or the language ? ) you said it at Christmas diner!!! I I like English people and English language very much and I try not to forget it. I also love Portugal and Portuguese people, so friendly, simple and helping. Sorry for having been so long. I subscribed and will watch all your video, hard job😂

Lovely update on the garden and greenhouse! Beau is trying so hard to help.... Reminds me of the early videos when Puck was small.... BUT, Lady - At the end you said "a couple of weeks'.... Earlier you had said all of January. I hope you are taking the whole month as break, and that the "couple of weeks" bit was a misspeak. You need it, you have earned it, you deserve it. Two week vacations are never long enough! At a month, you likely will be missing it and be ready to roll again. If you post in January, I not watch it! So there! [Well, I will probably watch that one in February, but don't tell Lea;) ]

Not something to spread about, but a trick I learned many years ago for help in starting engines, use something called easy start or if you can’t get hold of that use an aerosol deodorant and spray it in the air cleaner when turning it over. I’ve recently done on it on a petrol motor with a can of gas lighter fluid, which worked a treat. A cheap and convenient solution if it works for you. Good luck, let us know if it works. Love the channel. by the way, been watching since the start.
