We bought a Farm in Portugal.
A brief tour of our Quinta where we live with our 3 crazy French Bulldogs.
Watch us complete our 1001 jobs that need to be done!
Normally i like to just show each job that we do without a running commentary, but on this occasion i just had to bite the bullet and talk.
Hats off to all the guys on KZread that chat away in their videos, that was one of the hardest things I've had to do in a long time.
Watch to the end to see a few of the mishaps I had, trying to string a short sentence together.
Thanks for watching!

Nice to hear your voice, you and Cristina are usually very quiet in your brother’s videos and in yours as well. You and your brother sound so much alike and I’m happy that you both have each other there. Yes please, would love to see a video on the village house project from your perspective. And no shortage of projects on your homestead! I can see the appeal of the property. Have a blessed week!

Hi Jose, I’m working on the prior renovation but it’s taking a bit of time, as I’m working from photos. I will try and be as detailed as possible. I am quite fussy when it comes to detail. There’s always room for improvement, no matter how good of a job you’ve done. Thanks for joining us and thanks for the comment. 😎👍🏼

Hi thanks James, you have a refreshingly natural presentation style. Don't be shy at all you come across as an honest straightforward guy who thankfully isn't trying to sell us something we don't need nor are you bent on ego polishing. Loved the video clear and well presented. The more I see the more I am enjoying both your and your brothers uploads. I will just mention that it took me several attempts to get this video to play, it might be worth re-uploading perhaps there was a glitch which is causing the replay to be difficult to start. In admiration of your work ethic and determination to succeed. 👍👌

Hi James, thanks for the introduction and overview of your properties, you do have a lot of work cut out but you can see the potential for how nice it could be once done.
