    It's been almost a year since we moved onto our abandoned homestead, and it has truly turned into the forest paradise we'd always dreamt of. Theo is busy working on the remote cabin in the woods whilst I've been pruning a variety of our fruit trees and also walking the goats...

    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!

    Most women get flowers! The reaction of Bea when you gave her a gift of electric pruners was priceless. Nice one Theo. I see you have been doing a bit of pruning yourself, hair looks great. I can’t put into words how happy I am to see you so well Bea, it’s lovely. You’ve done remarkably well. Take care both, be safe. Dorset, UK 💕

    I need to buy those clippers for my 75 year old parents! Pruning the trees and shrubs looks therapeutic. Seeing you two walk the land always gets my permaculture ideas going. 12 weeks 👏 walking the land would be my choice of physical therapy. Cheers!

    Two surprises and so much happiness in this episode! I am pretty sure that those mushrooms are „healing mushrooms“ called turkey tail (Trametes versicolor “, very expensive and sold as precious medicine for people with cancer (according to Japanese traditional medicine).

    @ejd52 Před 5 měsíci +39

    What a delightful treat to see Bee returning to better health - your good food and being able to move without pain or the other awful symptoms of PDD means you'll probably be at the best time you've had in years. How exciting. Your scaffolding system is brilliant! So simple to assemble but sturdy as can be when connected. So many good things happening for you. now. Thank you for sharing so much with us. May today be the beginning of a Great Spring up on your Mountain.

    Hi Bee , you have a lot of pruning in your future . Just want to give a little info . Your apple trees need to be pruned like an upside-down umbrella. Open the inside so the sun can get through. Most of the limbs that grow on the underside of the branches . Most trees are basic the same . Have fun with your new prunners😊
