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!
The tree with pink flowers looks like a magnolia tree
Yeah that’s what Bee said but she wasn’t sure either, thanks for your info!
I'm super jealous, I want one but they cost a fortune for that size!
Um guessing this one is around 15+ years old!
Or a dogwood ?
American Magnolia Trees have big Green Shiny Leather like leaves that stay on the tree year round.
The flower does look like tge same flower but the ones here are white flowers.
If this is a Magnolia please let me know the species.
Dear sweet Theo, you’ve been through more than any one person should have been able to stand. You’ve earned your tears.
I’m so very happy that your land is coming back to life with the Spring.❤️🤗🐝
I agree 100% with every word of your post Deb. They deserve every joy this land will bring them.
There is a magnolia tree with her large pink flowers with a seedling cherry tree in the foreground. Theo, I admire your fortitude. The land and all it's vegetation and animals will thrive for you and Bea as you love and work with it all. Blessing to you!
Theo I am going to call you Superman from now on! How you have kept going with a bright disposition through all the trials and tribulations..working tirelessly and never faltering on putting out videos is nothing short of remarkable. Kudos to you!
I would definitelly love to see a video about the trees. That tree with the large pink flowers is a Magnolia. Very popular where I live and the biggest one I've seen locally is about 35 feet tall with a spread of about 20 feet. It's my favourite ornamental tree.❤
That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing ❤️
I think the pink and white flower one may be a cherry tree. Washington DC HAS THOSE BLOOMING RIGHT NOW AND LOOK LIKE IT.
@@dianefrench1721 they do look more like Cherry than Magnolia to me.
Yes, it's a Magnolia tree. The name is commonly referred to as a "Tulip Tree" in the South, US. The tree is beautiful.
During this season would be a good time to mark the trees that can't be revived, so that you can remove them.
The large flowering tree is a Magnolia tree! I love those trees, but it’s too cold where we live currently. I love your property and all of your work and projects! You kids are very blessed to have found such a gorgeous place! We enjoy seeing what each project you do with each video, and we celebrate every success! Keep up the great work and we’re praying for Bee to heal quickly! God bless you both!💖
❤Seriously Bea THANK YOU for keeping it real! I am sure the cake will be delicious! We all have days like that in the kitchen. Also, the music and video quality is amazing as always! You do such an amazing job! And Theo you have worked wonders WOW!!! And you enjoy your well deserved cake! 🍰
I think a lot of people were waiting for spring to see what survived. I’m so happy for you to be able to enjoy a rebirth of nature on your property. Your optimism is infectious, I throughly enjoy watching you two. Please do a video on the different species of trees, that would be amazing. You have limitless content for years on this property.
How wonderful that this land means so much to you both ! Honest and loving stewardship of Miracle Mountain. Blessings from 🇨🇦
I'm always impressed by your love of having a home estate after your years of traveling. It looks like a dream. Sorry to see your barn ownership go to someone else so soon. It was a labor of love, that I think was amazing. What will you do, and the other Portuguese farmers do with their goats?
I just have to say the Bee is blooming also. She looks so happy and healthy. I am so happy for you both, and all the babies/ farm animals.😍
Hi Beautiful!🫵🖐 So happy to see that Beautiful smile Bea ! Theo you are the MAN !!! Thank you both so much for taking time out of you're day to help lighten mine. What a BEAUTIFUL piece of property !!
Thank you so much!!
Theo, great work on the pipes and your plan to direct all the water around the property. I know it's a massive area but you've managed to prioritize the critical areas in a methodical way. I see your big smile returning as you continue repair the pipes and the washed out gullys. ❤
Theo, you are a multiple purpose man. A tractor driver, an hidraulic engeneer, a construtor, a gardner, an animal keeper, as well as a fantastic video maker and editor. As we say in my country: parabéns pelos esforços para recuperar tão linda propriedade 🌹🌷. (I am Brazilian 😀)
Guy is a legend should be on TV.
Bee, thank you for being so real. I really laughed when you said, "I'm sure you're surprised as I am." I've made more than my share of similar cakes, biscuits, breads... ❤😂
Too cute when Bea says as surprised as I am...
I stumbled across your videos awhile ago & before I knew It ive been watching for more than a year maybe 2. Ty for all you, Bee & Theo, do!! Pls share the finished barn conversion.
I'm so excited for you both & I live vicariously thru these videos!!
I bet you are quite happy to have all of the space in your kitchen. Enjoy making all of the foods you and Theo enjoy.
I'm so glad to see you both so happy in your new home. All my love to a great couple, from the USA.
Bee, it was so fun to watch you capture childhood memories in your kitchen and to share your humorous reaction to your cake. At least you didn't react like my dad says my mom did during their early married days. He was outside walking by an open kitchen window and he heard, "Oh, those rotten old things," and out through the window flew a panful of burned biscuits! (In the States, biscuits are like scones, but not as sweet) I hope you continue to invite us into your kitchen.
I have found that the hardships we go through and climb over are the ones I look back on and realize they were the ones that formed my heart and soul. You both have beautiful hearts and souls because of the hills you’ve climbed.
A beautiful video, so touching Theo. You’ve been through so much, so the blossoming trees are an apt symbol. The tree is a magnificent magnolia. It should smell divine, and it’s a symbol of endurance. Big hugs. Xx
I am so happy for you and Bee that you have this beautiful place and these wonderful, even if a bit hard at times, experiences in your lives. And I’m so glad you have each other. That’s what life is all about. ❤️💖💝
🎉Grand to see you and your property blossoming!!! Give Bea a proper hug from me and let her know I think of her often!! Many blessings to you both
I took a cake-decorating class many years ago, and the instructor told us as soon as you take the cake out of the oven if it has any high spots, place a potholder on the high spots in pushdown on them. It levels them out nicely. I have found it really works 🥰
Great tip thank you!
Some of that soil looks like it would be good in a garden.
My teacher said to cut it off with a serrated long bread knife. So that's an option too.
baking with Bee , actually my new favourite bake show. The bob ross of baking with the happy mistakes xx
Bee- yours is the ONLY baking show I want to watch! Love love!
I cried with you Theo. Your farm is such a beautiful place and you will have more then you’ll ever need for yourselves any business ventures you may have. I would love to have a video going through the property and telling us what trees you have. Stay well with lots of cheer for you both. ❤
Your and Bea's resilience and strength are astonishing! 😊
Saw you on the Newby's and couldn't resist another subscription. Time is the best healer, the pain regarding the aftermath of the fire must both be traumatic and haunting, you clearly have great passion to be a custodian of the land....I shed a tear on your behalf.
Looking forward is your best chance of recovery, be like the trees, walk your land and little by little you will begin to 'bud' too.
Bee dear... I loved the baking bit of the video, So entertaining, even without words, and very well recorded and edited. I don't know if it was on purpose, but the camera angle brought me memories of my own childhood, watching my mother cooking and baking from that same point of view. And the humour and determination to not let the "failure" get you down and keep making the good things is the same you both had shown throughout all your journey. Cheers to Miracle Mountain Keepers from Patagonia, Argentina.
Theo, some trees may be dead but trees have seeds and so they will grow back. It may take a while to reach the kind of forest you had before but every stage of a forests regrowth has its own unique plants and animals. There is joy and wonder around you. Just be open to seeing it as you go about your day. I know you love your land and the fire was hard but it is slowly coming back to life. Focus on the positive that is happening. Much love.
Thank you for being so open and real with us about your emotions.
You are adopted family. We care so much for you and Bea and your animal children.
You have been in our thoughts, concerns and prayers.
Love the progress. Get stronger Bee. It is good to come along. Beautiful homestead. Stay safe
Thank you! Will do!
I am 85 years old, and I have never heard the delightful phrase: "Polishing a turd," before! I love it! Now I know that I have polished many turds in my life. Somehow it makes it a lot easier to think back on. Thank You, Bea !!
Oh Sweet Bea!! You seriously were adorable polishing the turd!😂❤❤❤ You make me smile, nice to see you up, and your smile. Sending speedy recovery!
I am so thrilled for you that many of the trees you thought perished as slowly coming back!!! What you are doing on the land is astonishing and wonderful!! I loved seeing Bee make her cake...even if it wasn't exactly what she thought it would be...still looks yummy!! Stay safe, rest, Bee, and heal, and see ya next time!!
Bea, you look wonderful and I am happy to hear that your knee injury is healing. Your weird cake looks yummy I am sure that taste was fine 😊.Theo seems so happy with how the landscape is looking.spring is here 👏👏🌷🌸🌷🌲🌳love and blessings to you both 💕💕💕🙏🙏
Would love to see a walk around the property and see the trees. Also, thank you, for being vulnerable and sharing that. It can be something that really helps others who are also going through difficult times.
Plus I burst out laughing at the crane growing through the orange tree!
Lovely to see all the trees and the blossoms. The pink tree is called a magnolia and the flowers come out in the Spring. So happy to see your videos every Saturday. You are making a lot of progress step by step. Well done take care :)
Good to see Bee up and around! Theo, I am also relieved to see the trees back budding and blooming. I did write at the time that you would likely be surprised at how many trees would survive. It is nevertheless distressing. A part of the experience of our mountain fire back in the '70s that I on purpose did not mention. You are doing a really good job! Bee, things like potato peel the goats will eat up heartily! Our sheep used to run to eat our potato peel and indeed, potatoes are fed to cattle during the winter and we fed swedes (the turnip, not the people!) to the sheep. I can remember a whole lorry load being delivered just for the sheep and we would cover them with dead bracken and tin sheets to protect them from the frost. We too helped ourselves from the pile for our meals!
Hard at work as always Theo! Glad to hear that Bee's knee is on the mend. Have a good week 😊
Hope you enjoyed the 🎂 cake! You are a mastermind Theo with all your projects! Well done...we learn so much with you and Bea!
I agree that the tree with the pink flowers is a Magnolia tree. It is quite abundant and popular here in the Southern part of the United States.
Theo, as devastating as the wildfires and flooding has been, it is Nature's way of rejuvenating the landscape. You and Bee are blessed to have as much of your property as you have come back as quickly as it has. 😊❤ Peace from the Texas Hill Country.
Definitely magnolia. I have one in my garden in South Africa.
It’s nice to b getting better
Love the Magnolia and they flower before the leaves come, after the flowers you do have a good shady tree especially that size.
You really are doing a great job Theo on the grounds and sorting the water out before the big dig is the easier way to getting it done.
Bee, you can cook me a cake any day but use the right flour!! hahaha
PS: how did the cake taste??????
I am so very happy that your land is coming back to life with the Spring. The fire believe it or not has enriched the farm with the ashes. Love the magnolia tree and the cherry blossoms, the property is going to be beautiful in the spring and summer.
Oh Theo, you made me cry. You and Bea are such beautiful souls. Sending you hugs across th miles.
Theo you have just the sweetest heart. Prayers that you and Bea have some good times on Miracle Mountain
What a lot of work done Theo. But I really love Bee's (different) cake. It will taste delicious!! Maybe with a cup of tea also. Life hands us different days and this video was great. Thanks
Ive said this befre Theo...you are amazing...like a one man machine doing everything...i love your enthusiasm and the joy you get from the simple achievements ( and the complicated ones!) Bea you too are doing great...don't be put off by the cake...you can always bake another one...hope your foot/ankle heals soon.x
The pink flowers tree looks like a Magnolia saucer. Gets its name from the shape of the flower.
You and Bee live in paradise. Miracle mountain is being reborn, even the trees are starting to come alive again
The tree is a magnolia tree. The flowers are very delicate . Any wind will blow them off. Lovely to see you Bee. Hope your poor knee is better soon.
I’d love to see a video of your trees… thanks, Theo. The tree with the pink and white flowers is a magnolia… so pretty! The cherry trees are looking amazingly good! I love watching you do your chores on Miracle Mountain.❤️
I hope that Bea’s knee is making progress. Please give her my best wishes❤️. I loved to see Bea baking❤️
Bee it must be nice to be able to enjoy your new house while you knee heals. You will soon be back helping Theo, Take care not to go back too soon and get re-injured.
I hope your Sweet Bea gets well soon. Best wishes and prayers to you both. Thanks
I can understand the emotions you feel while walking through your beautiful and magical land. It brings me out of the blues and leaves me feeling joy. Thanks
Greetings from Chiapas, México. Hey Theo, no worries about shedding those tears, they were tears of relief after thinking that so much was lost after the fire and then the flood. It's always amazing to see how things return after such devastation. I'd personally love to see a tour of the trees. BTW that stunning tree with the big pink blossoms is a Magnolia tree.
Bee absolutely cracked me up with her baking blunder and saying how it is possible to "polish a turd". It's good to see her in high spirits despite her knee injury. Love you Bee. Blessings from Chiapas.
Theo and Bee , What you have done to transform your property is beyond a miracle. Determination and hard work are why as subscribers we watch. And Bee, you don't know how many cakes
we have flattened in our lifetime of cooking. Thank you, Theo and Bee, for taking us on this journey. Sending you love and Affection ❤❤❤ Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.
That gave me chills when you said you saw green on that tree!!! I am in tears watching this and feeling the sadness of the trees that didn't make it,but the joy of life coming back from devastation!! 😂😀💓
you are one heck of a guy Leo. You are strong and determined, you are loving and compassionate, you are fun and light and at the same time so smart and deep in what you say. It is always such a great pleasure and with such happiness that i open your videos every time, and you both never ever let me down. Thank you for the effort, but specially for the example you set for all who watch you.
Absolutely would love a tour of your trees!
Theo, watching your land come to life again, brings tears to my eyes too. It’s amazing how plants and trees can survive so much devastation Nature causes. Springtime is my favorite season. Plants, trees, new baby animals, coming to life.
I’m guessing it’s some kind of Magnolia tree!?
Happy belated birthday Bea!🎉 I'm glad your knee is feeling better.🙂❤️
I would love to see a video about the trees you have on the land, that pink Magnolia tree is gorgeous. I would also love to see more of B, doing more baking, she really does light up when she is doing something she obviously loves to do.
Loved the baking with Bea. Very natural. Qnd mouth-watering. Thanks for sharing your experience and showing how to make the best out if anything. Maybe a parable for life.😊
Great video again many thanks. The tree is a Magnolia. So good to hear you're on the road to recovery with your knee Bea! Nothing like home baking even if it doesn't come out as planned still delicious with a cup of tea. Much love from a mountain in Spain to you❤
You are the most hardworking man I've ever seen..such a positive person. You deserve so the best
So happy for you and Bea!! Happy that everything is coming back!
Yes Theo would love to see all the trees and just the land it's self. Your property is very beautiful. Get well Bree. I love going on the adventure with the both of you. Hope I'm able to be blessed to have a property of my own.
Bee, your cake was adorable and looked delicious!! It's fun to see you working in a big modern kitchen, and very strange. 😄😜 The tree is a tulip magnolia, they are so pretty! It's a common suburban tree in my area of Oregon. Love how so much of the vegetation is making a come back. Miracle mountain looks beautiful decked in all her green and flowery glory! 💖
I'm just so amazed at how many roads are cut thru and around the property. Fantastic ❤
So ridiculously HAPPY for you guys! You are both so AMAZING!
Definitely a magnolia tree. Love that cherry orchard! And I’d love to see a video of your trees!
I hate seeing you tear up😢. You Theo have been threw so much. It's wonderful to see the trees coming back. You have already put in so much time and work. It seems like there's no lack of work. It's going to be awesome ❤.
I can only imagine the sense of loss…. so pleased to be able to enjoy the wonders of spring and new life with you too 💕
6:15 Theo I know you both have gone through a lot, but over the past Two Years I have worried you would not be able to deal/ handle the stress... however you said at 6:15 the exact things you Both did..YOU "rose from the ashes" and I believe you both will fly as the Phoenixes !
Thank you❤️
Would LOVE to see more info on your trees. Despite the fire, I think you & Bea live in a paradise, and your hopeful attitude makes such a positive difference. Big hugs from Maine, USA.
Good for you focusing on all the good. You will restore everything back to its original beauty and far exceed it!!
Omg I love me some cherries as well. It is amazing how mother nature is insisting on coming back a live. Bless yall! I know Bee is enjoying that kitchen.
it is great to see new growth on your burned trees, I would love to see videos of your different trees...maybe you could bring an expert in to identify and help you prune?
Saludos desde Chiapas, México. Agreed!
Ooooh. I just want to hug you and Bee. You've both been through so much the last few years.❤
Theo! You have become an Engineer! Creating & implementing multifunctional solutions! Fantastic. BEE! Your leg is definitely stronger- marvelous news! I would love that bread recipe if you don't mind. That kitchen is so massive & wonderful. You two are making the place into such a lovely home. ❤
Looks like a magnolia tree🥰
The pink flowered tree is definitely a Tulip tree and the smaller white and pink flowered little tree is an Almond 💖
I was gonna say a tulip magnolia, but I had no idea that was an almond, that's awesome.
and Bea, your cooking was so natural and fun, i just loved how you never worried about how it should be, but instead just kept on going and got a lovely little cake at the end. I am sure Leo enjoyed it, because i can tell you I did!!! And i am happy to see you better, but do not over do it.
Bea, that demo was lovely, I totally enjoyed it, great sense of humor. Love you!
As mentioned already, that tree was a Magnolia. We had 2 when I lived in Spain.
Tip: Make a photo with an android phone, and in the preview or "Photos app" press the button "Google Lens". It will identify what is in the picture with amazing accuracy. It works on a lot of flowers and trees.
So many trees have survived the wild fire and it is a joy to see the tender green on the branches. Thank you for showing us ! 💕🌷
Bea, whenever my cakes don’t go to plan I make cake pops. Crumble up the cake, mix it with icing/frosting/buttercream. Freeze them then dip them in melted chocolate. If you want jam, add that either in the middle by freezing little globs and covering them in the cake and cream mix before freezing and covering.
Dear Theo, you feel so much. The place is amazing. Mother Nature has responded and is healing you property. The tree is a tulip tree or a magnolia. Sending love and positivity,❤❤
It gives me great joy to know you both will be great stewards of the land..I am so thrilled for your dreams coming true❤
Thank you ☺️
My absolute favorite tree. The beautiful Magnolia. Make sure Bea sees it since the blossoms only last a couple of weeks.
My week is done until I have finished watching what's going on with you guys. Really hope the both of you get some decent quality time together. Theo,want a hand mate? Bee keep making those cakes. Practice makes perfect. 💚
Absolutely loved this video. Theo is there anything you can't do? Also loved the baking segment Bee. We've all been there. Would love to see more baking segments if you feel up to it. You are both such lovely people and I look forward to your videos. I'm losing my sight and don't have much left. It's been an awful 18 months for many reasons but your videos help me to forget all that just for a little while. Thank you xxx
Definitely a magnolia tree, I grew up with a massive magnolia in my backyard in Vancouver BC. I am going to get a branch tattooed on my body one day. It is a gorgeous but beautifully messy tree!
It doesn't matter what the cake looks like, only what it tastes like. Bet it will be yummy. Making me hungry.
Love your blouse, Bee...so pretty.
Oh Bea...you made my day - giving a UK description of trying to spruce something up with 'polishing a turd'! All in all, your baking video wash 'spot on' and it looked delish!
Great cheer, and progress on multiple fronts.
I so love spending time in your world!
All The Best
Yes 🙌 to any video you want to create out of your love, joy and enthusiasm. 😁
Amazing hard working Theo but at least it’s for you and Bee. Loved the Cake Bee and I bet it tasted lovely xxxxx
I loved the Baking with Bee and how to polish a turd!! 😂. I’d love this to be a regular thing 😊. I love watching you both x
Bee, Theo, I bloody love you two. That's it really.
Ann xx
Bee the cakes looks great! They look like you're making giant Jaffa cakes 😍😍🙌
