  • Hey folks, Todays Homestead video is a little bit different. We are getting closer to finishing and closer to what life will be like down here when we do finish. Todays video is a glimpse of what a dream life on the homestead will be like. Up early, breakfast, bit of gardening, bit of feeding the animals. A trip to the ocean to freedive and forage some hand dived scallops, check out some fish and crabs, check up on the bees before wrapping up with the most delicious scallop, black pudding and potato dinner.
    Hope you enjoy

    Great video folks. Like food the magic in the formula is hard to put your finger on exactly, but I think it’s the complete lack of pretence. Two straight up characters just living a dream one step at a time. Makes me want to watch the next step too. Nice job guys.

      Thanks much appreciated. There is a Dublin CZcamsr that did a series around the world on a motorbike back in 2012ish called Oisin hughes. He is a great inspiration and had a great phrase "finding your own death Star" to blow up. We've all got a life-changing mission in us but few search it out. Glad to see your on your way to yours 😉

      @@WestCorkWander I like that phrase. Reference to a Death Star gives it a kind of shameless grandeur to it that just has to raise at least a corner of a grin into the face of adversity.

      It really is. I imagine living in a camper and waking in wonderful places was a different kind of wonderful but sleeping in a caravan for over a year through the worse weather Ireland had to offer was certainly an experience that really makes you appreciate a bed! We clocked -6.5'c last feb i think. We dont have blinds or curtains tho... so thats one plus for the caravan!
      Some of the biggest scallops I ever saw was right where you are, presumably as its a protected they get to grow massive! Lots of fun to be had down this way... one day when all the projects are done we can properly enoy it ;)

Trying to binge a bunch and as usual-hooked from the Timelapse one. Great job so far for ‘newbies’ to this😂😂😂😂. Love the cooking so much. I’m seeing old recipes from my grandma…my grandfather had to have potatoes every day of his life!!! Do you know how to make all day double boiler rice pudding?

    hi there.
    we in sweden have something similare to black pudding but we call it in sweden " blood pudding " we eat blood pudding in several ways and how it is made really depends on who is doing it but in overall then black pudding and blood pudding is almost the same thing.
    so if you go to sweden and want black pudding then you should check out a thing called blood pudding.
    i hope you have wonderful day and find this information useful :)
