Spring in central Portugal brings beautiful green hills, wildflowers… and unpredictable weather! ☔️ In this week’s episode, we take shelter from the rain, to focus on interior upgrades that improve comfort and usability in several rooms of our off-grid renovation project. From small improvements to practical layout tweaks, it’s all part of making our rustic Portuguese farmstead feel like home. ????
As semi-retired Brits living part-time in Portugal under Brexit rules, we’re slowly restoring a 100-year-old ruin using local building techniques, recycled materials, and plenty of DIY determination. Our goal? A slower, more sustainable life in rural Portugal – and to share the journey along the way.
We also take time out to reconnect with friends and discover something completely new – the fast-growing sport of Padel! ???? Whether you’re here for property renovation, life abroad, or just curious about how to balance hard work with healthy outdoor living, this episode brings a taste of real life in Portugal.
On the best day of the week, we host Brian and Diane from @Portugalonashoestring Check out the fabulous content on their channel.
Subscribe and join us each week as we turn a ruin into our forever home – one challenge, one solution, and one story at a time.
???? Watch now and be inspired by life in rural Portugal!
