    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!

      Im so happy for you both. Rest sleep and hibernate for two weeks. See your family and friends and have a good cry. Enjoy your holiday Theo and Bea, and have fun shopping for all your house bits. Also Theo you and Bea get the help you need. You have been so loving and supportive of each other, lm sure with all of your supporters best wishes and blessings you will get the holistic support and medical support you ned to help Bea. But dont forget about yourself Theo, its good to get you some help also, its mentally stressful and hard when you are trying to take on everything and feeling useless because you cant fix your beautiful Bea. Pleas stay safe in England both of you.

You must be completely exhausted, please rest and take the much needed time and rest that you need and so deserve now that you are back in the UK. Bee will finally get tge proper medical care and treatment she needs, Thank goodness. But you have been running yourself ragged, burning the candle at both ends to point of total exhaustion. And that alone while your spouse is suffering from severe depression on top of all you're going through, been through is a lot, its daunting, and too much for one person to carry. And actually is often harder on you, the spouse of someone suffering the depression, more do than it is on the person with the depression. We all wish the very best of medical care and help for Bee, and a successful outcome, that being said you Theo need to take care of yourself, and take this time to relax, allow yourself to enjoy your time back home in the UK, and catch up on your overall mental and physical health too. God Bless you and Bee. Take care, and Best wishes. We will certainly be here whenever you and Bee are better, and ready to film again. Much love. XO.

      Low magnesium can cause depression and drugs only lower it. Start taking 1/4 tsp of epson salt daily. It can prevent heart attacks, help your Neurotransmitters in the brain to connect. You can not eat enough food to get enough of it.

You know NOTHING about Bee, what Medical conditions she may have, past and current, nor what prescription medications, foods, other she may be allergic, nor are you educated, degreed, nor qualified to give her and Theo Medical advice. If you wish to play Doctor, go out and get the 10 plus years of education it takes to be one, otherwise you are considered practicing medicine without a license, which is a criminal offense. I'm married to a medical doctor whom has practiced medicine for 56 years, and you do not know what you are talking about. I'm sorry if it sounds harsh for me to tell you this, but you could kill someone telling them to take stuff which you know nothing about, nor anything about her full Medical history.

      I agree having traveled with cats before. A larger crate also can hold a foil pan with litter or shredded paper so he can do his 'business' in it. A few drops of essential lavender oil on the underside of a cushion or blanket in the crate is calming to cats as well. A hampster/bunny water bottle can also be hooked up to a larger crate. May you all get much needed rest. May Bea get the help she needs. Love you all.

    Theo, you are an amazing, caring, and compassionate man. I'm so inspired by your resilience and positivity, and your unwavering love for Bee. And Bee, you are so strong and wise to know when you need to step out of the spotlight and take care of yourself ; that wisdom and self care is also inspiring! I'm in Jerusalem, Israel (we joke that here it's a direct call to God; not a long-distance call). You are both in my prayers for a complete healing of body, spirit, heart, and soul. Rest up. Enjoy your families and friends. Eat your fill of fish and chips. All of us who care about you just want to know that you are both resting, relaxing, and restoring your equilibrium. We'll all still be here whenever you're ready to be back online, whether that's in a few weeks or months or longer. 💙💙💙 PS loved the music as you began your journey home to the UK.

    Those weird cars you saw at the port are called "Erlkönig" in Germany. your quess was right, they are full of sensors and computers as they are testing the new model of the car or software, hardware and so on. The weird patterned coating is a special foil to disturb camera lenses when taking a foto.
    Glad you made a safe journey and are with your family! Greetings south Germany

Depression and MH issues are probably amongst he most difficult things we can come across in our lives, especially when they effect a loved one, but you will both get through this.

    🇹🇩At the 5 minute mark of your vid and so far; Lovely selection of music.💛..and appreciate the camera showing terrain in Portugal as you started out on your trip. The close ups of Ginger cat added a calming touch to your trying adventure. Theo...quite a lot of responsibility for you and you alone. đŸ‘đŸ‹ïžâ€â™€ïž You are hanging in there....even if it is positive attitude in front of the camera only.....mountains and valleys my friend....life has it tough ebb and flows....we are all human so being upbeat and positive 100% of the time is unrealistic. Having traveled the world so many times as a touring cyclist...and even on UK based cycle tour trips with the CTC, so many challenges can happen....it certainly tests our core values as a person.

    So sorry that Be has had such a bad time of it. It must have been a struggle for her to keep up appearances all the time. She is very brave and shows inner strength.
    So interesting your journey back to the UK. I did it with my husband and children in 1987 from Dover to Santander to start a new life in Southern Spain. We were in the middle of the Bay of Biscay during the famous hurricane that hit the UK. We were stuck in the entrance of Santander harbour for ten hours. We had our two large dogs with us at the time too. A nightmare as you can imagine. 34 hours those poor dogs were not able to relieve themselves. The dogs both survived and both lived to a ripe old age.
    Will be so interesting to see Nottingham again, as that is where l am from. Still in Spain, now with two adopted cats.
    Thank you for making great and interesting videos. I am now an old lady of 77 and now know how to make a lime mix if called upon. Bless you both and can't wait for more videos xxx
