What a beautiful life you are providing for your children. In north America most of our babies spend 50-60 hours per week in daycare and some of the others in front of the T.V or ipad. We try to offset this by buying them toys and clothes that will never make up for the time lost with mom and dad. Whenever you feel down or overwhelmed by winter rain or other things that troubles you, please remember the incredible gift that you are giving your children. You are all amazing and have come such a long way from when you moved there in your caravan! So much love and happy, joyful vibes for you all from me. I wish you all the very best. Well done! ❤❤❤

The "cake" as u call it - the remains of grape juicing - must be rock hard at the end! If ur tools cannot do that, just crumble the cake a bit and leave it for another 2 or 3 days. It will then juice much better. Also for the white grapes - that last bit of juice is the sweetest (for the red grapes that is the juice with the most tanin content)

For the longest time I had no idea what a Courgette was, but thought it must be like a Zucchini. I finally looked it up and they are the same plant. In the United States we call it by the Italian name and England uses the French name. However there are many other plants or varieties that I do not recognize. Maybe I'll catch it's name on a future video and can look it up too.

Lovely harvest video! There's another way to remove honey that will keep the hexagonal cells of the honeycomb intact (without damaging the cells) is to stand a frame vertically on its edge, and on one side, use a large hot knife to cut/scrape to cut away the very outer layer of the wax to expose the honey-filled cells; then place the opened honey-comb face down over a tray, so the honey drains out. and after all the honey has drained out (each side) you can put the frame straight back into the hive (and you wont have to crush up the honey comb or sieve out any wax, because you removed it ahead of time).

I thought that if there are farms with horses nearby you can ask for the horse manure. I'm sure that they'd be happy to have you come by and shovel it out. Obviously, you'd want the manure that has sat a while to avoid the heavy manure smell. Also, if there are tree services you may be able to ask them for the left over wood chips? Not sure that this is as available in Portugal as it is here, but it may be viable if they can deliver it. Espero que vocês venham aproveitar isso onde vocês vivem. Boa sorte
