There is one channel I will not watch anymore. So tired of boobs hanging out.

Diogo is the Baryshnikov of the dog world, his leaps are spectacular! ♥️🐕♥️

I seriously LOVE how all your furry friends spend so much time with you both all over the property!! ............... and I could sit and watch all day what you are doing. Love it and THANK YOU

By the way, people, when we like the videos and like the comments and comment our own selves it goes into the KZread algorithm to give prime placement to the video to attract the more likely viewers who will like these videos. Then the ways to get money for Clarissa and her family are better. Albi and fur babies. Blessed be every one. I just learned to watch the ads a little longer before hitting the skip button at the end of the intro to the ad. It shows more interest and gives more click money.

It’s so relaxing to watch the two of you work on a fine Spring day! The cake looked delicious - congrats on 50K.

Brilliant to hear the sounds & views of spring!❤

The 50.000 K is so deserved, and you will have many more. Your channel is a joy to watch and so filled with personality. I look forward to a new video each saturday😊

I am going to laugh for a long time at the memory of Dodo hopping over Frankie (and then back and forth again LOL)! Just wonderful

Congratulations on 50K subscribers Carissa and Iwan. The spring flowers in your meadow are beautifully colourful, your land is looking lush, and bouncy, bouncy Diogo's leap over Frankie was spectacular!

I think by doing the land in sections, makes it harder to forget or miss something. It also gives you a better idea of where to work instead of little bits all over.👍

Another amazing trip to central Portugal, it's good to see the rain has eased up for a while, won't be long until the heat of Summer kicks in and your back to preying for rain. The real world life of living in and around nature.

I just love your kitchen, greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦

Beautiful aren’t they?!

I so look forward to my Saturday treat when I immerse myself in the delight of your video, smiling at the antics of the animals (Dioggo jumping over Frankie 😂😂) , calmed by the beauty of your land , marvelling at how you can create photographic masterpieces from simplest of views or objects, and admiring all the progress as it occurs ❤❤ until next week.. ..

Kanga 🦘Diego's hind hip muscle has really filled out ❤ So good to see the transformation.

Congratulations on reaching 50k, well done! Your farm is lovely, all your hard work is turning the land into a beautiful and productive haven for all life forms (excepting perhaps those venomous centipedes, they could move elsewhere...). It is absolutely frightening how ferociously the fresh green mimosa catches fire, I do so hope that one day you are able to acquire the mimosa infested land that is so close to your house.

I rarely play a game while listening to your channel. It is a feast for the eyes and is so relaxing to watch. Art! 50000! Congratulations

Hi, Carissa and Iwan. Your property is looking verdant… so beautiful. See you next week❤️❤️

While Cari was baking the cake I had to put it on pause....so I could admire your KITCHEN, it has truly come a long way from what you started with. The GARDEN, even with its Spring Explosion, now is showing its structure, instead of the neglected wilderness it was. Last but not least is DEIGO; that abandoned, skinny, SICK baby has become a healthy, handsome, (little bit of a show-off) much loved brother and 4-legged child. Can't wait to see what happens next..............

Albi is ‘living the life’!😍🇨🇦

That was calming (Diego is in a world of his own 😂) it's a lot of hard work, but beautiful.

Watching ye gives me peace in my soul and I thank you.❤

When I was a child,we had a graphed tree. Lemon orange and grapefruit just like what you’re doing. Have a great day you two

I hear the Cuckoo what a lovely Summer sound

I really like the long held shots of the spring flowers with the chickens and the river. So often bloggers and videographers focus ever so briefly on something and then rush on to the next image before you’ve had a chance to take in the beauty. The gardens are beautiful and it’s so nice to feel like I’m in the setting. Thanks 🙏🏼

I'm addicted😊 so artfully done. All the way from South Africa🤗

👏👏50,000. Your videos are so calming. Watching you grow has been wonderful. Hope the grafts are successful. Take care.❤

My weekend is brighter after watching your video. 💚

It is a paradise garden! What a blessing for animals and humans! ❤

hi carissa a top tip to pulling carrots out is if you push them down first, then pull the out they come out easier. i will be honest i havent tried it, but will do when i next plant up and the harvest is ready. the tip came from a a friend whos had an allotment for 40years and he says it works.also he says if you seed them in toilet rolls in your greenhouse and plant them out when ready in the toilet rolls the cardboard breaks down in the soil and you get straighter carrots that dont wrap around each other and the carrot tops you can save and make into a pesto

@gabriellasaibene904

A delicious pesto! I recommend making it with walnuts, not pine nuts as one would do the classical pesto with basil

What a lovely, bright relaxing video. Many thanks for posting it on a dreary day in England.

Almost ASMR. So calming. We are coming at the end of the month to find our piece of paradise. I hope we bump into you. x

I just love the sights and sounds of Spring that you captured. The pets are all so adorable. My favorite is the white kitty but I find myself wanting a puppy in the breed of Frankie. All of them are so beautiful and seem to be living their best lives. Thanks for the recipe and cooking tutorial. Love your art so much.

I *LOVE* your Ginko t-shirt that Carissa wore in the first few minutes. So much so that I bought one a few weeks ago and wore it at a family gathering. I'm experimenting with a white t-shirt in hope I can make it stay white past the first wash. Most people initially thought it was a mushroom (!) so I really enjoyed telling them about how ancient a plant it is, how it relates to other trees, how useful it is medicinally ... I can bore on for many hours. I tried to get others to buy them from your merchandise shop, too....

Thanks for sharing, enjoying the channel. Just a tip for weeds in the garden, you can use the grass clippings to make a layer once the plants are big enough. Just put a decent amount all around, and the weeds won't grow, plus it's natural. Keep up the great work 🤟

Well done you two. For living a life away from this madness this world. Stay true to your beliefs. And stay in love . 🌹

I bet you enjoy having your own washing machine.❤

Your videos are always so relaxing to watch! Love seeing what your up to & watching the pets run around & play.

Carissa, your videos are full of carícias (caresses) and they are definitely caríssias (priceless)!. Récipes, birds, and so on. Espero que goste!

Such a beautiful video … the carrot cake looks absolutely delicious. The intro with Frankie was gorgeous, she is adorable! Congratulations on 50k!! Your home and land are developing into a wonderful oasis. The sounds of the birds are amazing.

My favourite Saturday morning bubble of peace! I await all of your vlogs with great anticipation, and love to relax in my cozy chair with my morning coffee and my iPad.

Have watched this vid many times but now I have to tell you how much I love the song you play. Don't know the name but it Is beautiful! I know this vid is old but I enjoy coming back to all you guys have put out there!

Albi rather fancies usurping Frankie's position and ascending to the throne, thus gaining her own youtube channel. The name would be...wait for it..."Albi Off Grid". Her first episode will be an action packed feature on safe protocols for kitties in trees. 😁😸🤣!!! Congratulations on 50K 🥳🎆🎉!! Very nice celebration with a lovely carrot cake. Looking forward to seeing how the driveway finishes up. So then will you make a driveway up to the house? How wonderful it would be to not have to carry heavy and cumbersome things so far. Take care and see you next time. 🥰🌿♥️

Guys, this was vlogging perfection. ❤️🥂xx

Very enjoyable lovely vlog, thank you for that! Good to see you are on the ment Iwan, must of not been nice for you to go through that again. The homestead looks amazing with all the flowers, so beautiful to see. Have a great week you guys!!! Cheers Bert 🙏🏻❤

I wish I was still so agile to sit on the ground and do weeding . If I get down there now I can' get back up which can be quite entertaining if you do land up there sometimes

This vlog is like a mindfulness session.. 😌 it was so beautiful and relaxing.. I am loving the birds being named - thank you - and the Melanie Bell song again.. well, it's perfect.. thank you both of you 💜

Oh dear. Has Frankie moved onto the garden rake? 😂

Love your channel. It is so calm and unstructured and structed at the same time. Will be interesting to see how your grafting will look like. I know hey do it with apples .

Listening to the bird songs were so wonderful. The shots by the pond were gorgeous.

Good luck getting rid of the mimosa. We have mimosa and wattle here in West Australia. If the take hold in your garden there is no getting rid of it unless you inject it with glyphosate. I don’t spray indiscriminately and I don’t like chemical gardening but, sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do!

The grafting session was very interesting. Love watching a good weed pulling🥰

My Sunday afternoon is so much better for watching yor relaxing content 😊

I feel so rejuvenated after a day of working like this. Hopefully, we are going to be warming up soon...no quite t-shirt weather here at the moment, but maybe next week.

You heard, and perhaps saw, a Scops Owl!?! That's a great privilege imo. Nightingales are lovely birds; though I had one spend the whole night above my head on the roof, when I was trying to sleep, before university exams ... it was very impressive for 15 mins. I still passed

@@FrankieOffGrid I've never seen a bee-eater - it's a 'bucket list' bird for me: something to be sure to see before I slough off this mortal coil (not due anytime soon). I'd also add a) the Australian magpie because I want to hear it for myself in its native habitat, and b) a British resident White-tailed eagle (Sea Eagle). Maybe I should add Boobies in the Caribbean because who doesn't love boobies?

@FrankieOffGrid

If you come and visit Portugal or Spain in summer you’ll almost certainly see bee-eaters, I’ll try and get some good footage of them.

Spring is finally making an appearance, slow though it may be. We've got our first buds on the trees and hedges. It's time to plant seedlings and hope that we don't get any freak snow storms. It's been known to happen all the way to late May. I'm with you! Sweet potatoes are yummy! The carrot cake looks good. Have you ever tried zucchini bread? Equally good if you're growing them. You call them courgettes? Sorry for the spelling error. Can you swim in that pond? It looks like it would be nice on a hot day. So, with all your Mimosa headaches, that's another plant I'll avoid planting. The wildflowers look beautiful. See you next week! Blessed Be!

Congrats on 50k subs guys. This is my fave episode. Loved mostly nature sounds and a little music. So nice to hear the birds, crickets and the neighbours bell. And the flowers were just insane. So beautiful. So well captured.

I so love your cats and dogs and how they interact with you. After our last dog died we decided not to have any more animals but I do miss them

Why is it I find your vlogs therapeutically relaxing watching you strimming weeding etc ? Highlight of the week when FOG pops up Then time comes I have get out blitz never ending ground elder not nearly so relaxing so Thank You both & the fur & feather babies 🫂

I just love how you guys, remain exactly who you are, regardless of your (online) celebrity. Congratulations on the 50k. Onwards and upwards ❤️🥂

Loved Diogo’s leap over Frankie and seeing you all enjoying a bright, sunny day. Congrats on 50K.

Yes, I had spotted Albi in the tree. Your pets appear to like hanging out with their "people." The wildflower meadow areas are stunning!

Congratulations on getting more than 50,000 subscribers! You deserve each one and so many more. I love your videos. Your animals are quite special, especially the dogs. I sure laughed when you were headed for the walk. Diogo and Frankie are so funny in their own silly ways. Have a great week!

Your spring flowers are just beautiful and looks good the grass being whipper snippet down. Suppose it will help also to see any snakes. Diogo? reminded me of a kangaroo as he bounces and jumps all the time and so funny.😊 Thanks again for another good video.

Love the bloopers!

I rarely comment on any channel, but I have managed site workers most of my career in helping them to optimize their physical work. Rather than picking up handfuls of clippings and walking back and forth to form a larger pile, I suggest using a small tarp to drop your clippings on and dragging a much larger quantity to where you want them. Also, bring a tarp along to each pruning or grass raking location and collect as you go.

Iwan, leave a small amount of leaf on your scion, it needs to photosynthesise. It's the green cambium layers that need to meet with rootstock and scion, to build the vessels and heal. Meadow flowers ❤❤❤ Enjiy the sun 🌞

Watching your videos is calming. Also, I love how you both seem to have a sense of humor that is charming,😊.

I love the simplicity of your videos you even make weeding watchable, looking forward to the cabin rebuilding iwan even has his name on the knife 😊🐱🐶

Lovely relaxing video guys. Thank you for sharing. Congratulations reaching just over 50k subscribers. Well deserved. Take care and stay safe. ATB to you both and all the animals.

It's so good to see Frankie doing so well!! 🙏🥰🥰❤ Little sausage speed demon 🤣🤣🤭

Always appreciate the little things like you said about the eggs ❤

I've grafted apple trees on my allotment and now have two trees with lots of different varietes, but I'm no expert! They say you should try to cut the V shaped bit with flat sides so no air gets in when you slot it into the slit and so they sit flush next to each other with the green bit in contact. I use a Stanley knife and cut on a chopping borad which is easy to carry about my allotment. I use different coloured electrical tape to hold the V shaped scion and the slit in the twig together very firmly to keep the air out and to stop them coming apart if it's windy or something knocks them. It's sightly stretchy, so easy to apply a good bit of force, and also I can tell the different types apart by using different colours! The cling film should work if you tied it very firmly around the union so it can't wobble about. I was astonished when about half of the first lot I tried worked! I put PVA on any cut on the end to stop the scion driying out as well, instead of grafting wax. It seems to work. If your graft is held together firmly enough with no air or moisture getting into it should work. There are lots of different joins, but the one you have tried is the easiest. Good luck! Excellent simple cake recipe too. I'll try that. 😋

Thank you for the relaxing weeding. The chickens are so beautiful amongst the wildflowers.

Love Frankie's hair cut!

Congrats on 50k. Knew you’d do it. Those carrot leaves are good chicken treats but they also make a great pesto!

I love that song so much that I had to purchase and download. Carrot cake yummy…..

Brilliant idea to set fire on a stump!! I've seen this being done in Sweden.

What lovely, peaceful video! Thank you for sharing that feeling.

You all have interesting insects, reptiles, and birds. I bet you could do a banger of a montage. Excellent Frankie intro highlight. Thoughtful!

Just recently started watching your videos! They are beautiful. Thank you! Love Karen (cape Town, South Africa)

Next to Nala, Albi is my favourite KZread cat!

Thank you so much for sharing your life with us! I find it so calming, even though you're both working hard! ❤❤

Nice music Carissa.

congrats on 50k so so deserving, here's to 100k and your silver plague ☺just want to say a huge thank you as you have helped me more than you know to keep sane and calm through difficult times over the years as your videos bring a sense of calm and peace, thank you x
