You could try broccoli, cabbagr and cauliflower before the winter hits. They will definitely grow in autumn in the greenhouse.

Cake looks yum, I’d put in a drop or two of Grand Marnier or brandy! House looking great! 😊

Peas in the tunnel

I remember making this cake for my daughter’s baby shower more than 21 years ago, and I’d been making it for many years before as it’s a family favourite. I always serve it with thin slices of orange cooked in an orange syrup and whipped cream, of course. Yum!

I don’t know when I’ll be baking again but I’ll definitely try this recipe ✌️💚

I’m going to try that cake.

Thanks again enjoy watching. Questions and ideas. Dessert first. Drizzle some dark chocolate on top. How do u heat the polytunnel in winter? Have been watching a herb show, how about dandelions and plantain for greens? Couple ideas one would love to see a cookbook. me either print or online if it was online, you could do it with the demos. I keep watching survival things I would a root seller be appropriate there? since Ireland is so windy as an alternative energy source is there anyway to use the wind, windmills or whatever I’m not too clear on this, but I’ve been wondering. Doing a great job keep it up!

I've being watching you guys for months, I have to say yous are amazing and all the work you have done. You should be both very proud! That orange cake looks amazing I'm going to be trying to bake it.

Brilliant watering system Clare! Also great progress on the house, and I kinda like the spiral wall lights! 😊 All desserts are your favorite Rob, lol! 😂 Love you guys! 💚

Nope on the lights .. looks kind of cheaply

Thanks for the shout out - I found the paint sprayer worked fairly well for the walls and ceiling ( after I had a rough ish time trying to paint doors - much overspray as I didn’t get to grips with it at first). I think it works well when you have nothing in the room. I’ve been trying to mask off and cover floors and furniture with limited success. It I do agree the sprayer is good though and the results are worth it.

Love is like oxygen / The Sweet?

Wow does that paint make a difference. It looks so nice. Great job.

Yes the lighting is beautiful in the corridor

Love, love that cake❤❤❤❤

Yes please share recipe for cake, would love to try and make it.

I was wondering if you can make a tomato pie? House is really looking good🙂💐

Hi Claire what paint sprayer is it please, and are you going to do a recipe book with all the lovelies you have made coz I will deffo buy it ❤

I love the lights ( sorry Clare ) house is coming together really fast now , it all looks great, cake looks delicious as well ! 😊

You are a wonderful plaster and painter,hurrah for you, looks good.❤

Everytime I feel too ' not bothered' to do something. I think of you guys and I get on with it. Plus, just about to try that orange cake. I'm not a baker, but hey it looked so good! 👍

Guys ye are doing a great job!! Fairply to ye both....ye have worked so hard. Its a credit to ye. Would you consider white Day/night blinds.

Good morning! If you create a row for winter cropping, leave enough space beside the glasshouse wall to sidle down it... when it's frost season, pop some hoops along your row and pop row cover on for the overnights. Spinach, kale, bitter greens- radicchio, broad leaf greens. Have a pile of grassclippings/ a few bales of hay or straw tucked in a corner of the green house, and at the warmest part of a winter's day, use your pile to build up mulch around your greens... tuck them into a warm blanket of mulch .

What abeautiful place and a very comfortable lifestyle,,😍🌹🥰

The bedroom and bath turned out beautiful, and much bigger than I had imagined!

I'm with Claire on the lights!!!!

Wall lights look good and Keira’s bedroom 👍 did you use almond flour or ground almonds or is almond flour the same as ground almonds ? 🧐 can you tell I’m not the greatest cook 😂 going to make the cake

The lights look great it's getting closer to finishing the house now it must be really exciting getting to this point and seeing all your hard work come together thanks for sharing your journey

hi there wcw ! you could try to plant potato onion, (potato onion is a onion that acts like a potato, you plant the bulb and from that bulb other bulb comes if you get what i mean?) from wiki "The potato onion (also known as an Egyptian onion, underground onion or multiplier onion) in some old English varieties may be large, although others may be less so. According the french ethnobotanist Michel Chauvet, the potato onion, also called family onion, forms several more or less flattened bulbs which, unlike shallots, remain enveloped in external tunics. The term aggregatum was coined to describe this type. It is cultivated in the gardens of many countries, including Finland, Russia, Sri Lanka, Philippines, and Ecuador." in short potato onion is a type off onion that can handle the weather in ireland becasue they are pretty thought ones (if i have seen right) just a tip off a plant you can buy and try out! :) have a great day!

Love the sconces

I love the wall lights

Lovely green tunnel episode, fun to me as a gardener too. Hi Claire, I have a tip that I’ve used for years. Lots of people use it satisfactorily. I save my teabags, banana peels and eggshells to make my organic food to put in gallon containers along with my well water to fill up and ferment. You have to put the egg shells first into a coffee grinder for the soil to absorb the calcium. I use a heavy duty plastic bag and run a glass bottle over it to make the shells very small and works well. I get giant tomatoes, great free food! I dry out the teabags a day or two to dry up and store in a plastic container until needed for next batch. I rotate 5 gallons. I buy my almonds whole, blanch them in boiling water so the skins pretty much rub off. Then I food processor them first, then put smaller amounts into a coffee grinder to get powdery. A 8lb. bay almost da ground up last a long time. I use it for my own almond paste too. A fun job. I just made 5 jars of lemon curd actually. I like it added to Greek yogurt for a tasty desert. I love making and baking, sewing, knitting too. I am a retired florist so very artsy all round. Almond tastes great too with cherry, also raspberry. Have a good week both of you. 😀 All the best, M.

Thanks Rooney , showing us how you go 🤣

might have to finish watching later but I'll start now , currently volunteering in Ukraine and I'm giving an english lesson at 7,30 . for some unfathomable reason there don't seem to be many native speaking english teachers wanting to teach in Ukraine at the moment , can't think why

I love the wall! Such a labor of love for you, Claire. Nice work!

Fascinating and brave. Watch the Newby’s, Portugal, who are renovating a property there and started keeping bees. They use something to put in the hives that prevents them from disease / fungus. You’re doing a grand job.

Yes, to Rice pudding. Delicious! My mum was half Irish and so proud of it. Rice pudding was a favourite with all of us, and now 70 years later with me it still is . I loved the thought of blackberry topping. Thank you for wonderful memories.

I love your curtain rails, where did you get them from :)

Childhood favourite desserts - warm sweet rice, farola, or semolina topped with homemade raspberry jam

Try a bay leaf on the top before baking the rice pudding. 🇬🇧🐶

Just watched this with my good lady. It was great to get to see a bit of Clon (her ancestral home town). We’d love to see more ‘out and about’ footage from you. You're in such a lovely part of the world (weather notwithstanding), so it'd be a shame not to share more of it with those of us who are cruelly deprived of it. The rice pudding divided the room, though. I'm a HUGE fan of a proper rice pudding, and I would have made short work of the whole thing. Mrs H, however, not so much. The very mention of the skin-the best bit-had her making a noise like a faulty bilge pump. 😬 She doesn't know what she's missing! All the best to you all!

You two are brilliant very intertaining always look forward to your videos

Look at that trug full of spuds, what a bounty! I am so pleased to see your greenhouse full of all of those tomatoes, makes me excited to try and replicate your massive success in future garden projects. Top work on the spelt loaf - looked epic. Got a beauty of a greek olive oil at the minute, so fragrant and delicate, great company with a good slice of bread dipped in it, no vinegar, just oil. Delicious. 2nd showing for the Tom soup - must be a winner. Enjoyed the closing scene, you two having a tipsy slice of bread and butter. Good times. Edit: Forgot to say - thanks for joining us on our first live q&a. Good to see you there! Hope you enjoyed it.

Rob’s Irish Great Grammy is probably rolling over in the grave hearing him call Irish lace curtains “fish nets”. 👀😂 All the garden veggies look great and I love all the sunflowers!! 🌻🥰💚

I have 100% white sheer cotton voiles in my living room to stop people seeing in (maybe one person now and then hahahah). I love them as they let in light but obscure people seeing in just enough to make me feel comfortable.

Greetings from mid west France. Having left Mayo in 2021 we watch all the home renos from Ireland. There is a fab community working on cottages over there. I love that your videos are genuine. The ups, downs and monotony of a project like this. You do what's easier for you and I'll keep watching.
