Oh l love playing June’s Journey‼️😍 I’ve been playing it for a few years!!!
It's good passing some time gaming - prepare us to better soft skills. Kips our mind awer and prepared to resolve our outcomings
Link clicked 👍🏻 Be brave, think big, explore.
I can only imagine what these Portuguese folks say in their local PUB about the English man building a Hobbit house.
@@marjoriefinlay3303hmmm I wander Marjorie, what do you think they say? You think they say it’s fun and exciting or you think they say Johns daft?
Crusoe might not know it now, but he’s having the best childhood any child could hope for. You have two amazing boys, love how Sawyer smiles all the time ❤
Thank you so much Ana 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Oh I so agree. I feel like a grandma to them. Watching them grow and thrive. Sawyer's smiles and giggles and Crusoe's freedom and vocabulary, the exploring he does, his independence shinning brightly. I could go on. 😊❤
That was my childhood living in a big farm in Puerto Rico lots to do and grow with amazing animals that was to me the most healthier environment and happy life. Such great memories rest in peace dad I will always love you and thank you for teaching me so many things outside and indoors I became such a handywoman because of you ❤
Oh the smile on my face and in my heart when I heard Sawyer say “Dada” then “Mama”! I feel like a proud grandmother! Happy Wednesday Newbys!
We love it too Debbie! He is learning new sounds and words everyday ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤
Omg. So cute your boys. My 14 month old Granddaughter is starting to figure out words like Sawyer 🥰👶🏼
So much fun watching the boys in fast motion moving the soil around on the Hobbit House.. I don’t believe your intros are negative as someone else commented.. You are doing a wonderful job!
Thank you!! 🙏 ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Hi guys, creating a time capsule was a fantastic idea! A bit nostalgic I admit,nevertheless super exciting! Be happy ❤
Hi Gi, we loved putting it together as a family! Thanks for the love friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
DARLING LITTLE MASTER "YELLOW BOOTS" 😘 IS SO, SO HAPPY RE: THE ARRIVAL OF "HIS" TRACTOR ! ! !❤🎉🎉
Mr "Yellow Boots" always loves it when Mario comes to visit! 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
@@TheNewbys 🚜❤️🚜❤️🚜
Joao is a very hard working young man. He has become a part of the family. 😊👍
You are quite right Ken, he is such a hard worker and we love having him here on the farm. He is the perfect farm manager! 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
It’s so fun to watch Sawyer starting to talk. He got so excited doing the time capsule project. I remember when Caruso was this age. Such darling boys!
Thanks to the Newbys for another fantastic videos. Much love👍
You are most welcome friend, great to hear you are enjoying them! Thanks for the support 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
What a blessing your neighbours are! Please say hi from Canada and tell them how much they are admired. 😍🇨🇦
Thanks friend, we will definitely do that. Our neighbours truly are the best 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Mud slides after heavy rains are always a worry. All you can do is plant a load of grass plugs and pray they grow fast before it rains! Saying that, the hobbit garage looks very cool! I love seeing Joal working with Caruso. He is so very sweet and patient with Caruso as he learns to move soil. Enjoy your progress! Have a beer to celebrate! Love and light to you all. 🍺💕
Thanks for the advice Abigail. Joao and Crusoe have such a special relationship. Thank you for all the love 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
You can also put rocks between the mud. It is'nt the same as the roots but is a help. Or you can put another plastic above the mud when it rains until the grass is grouwn... That's an idea...
Tara! Seems to me like with Johns new talent of building with cinder blocks he needs to build a retaining wall to stabilize the drop down on your land before you can build the pool. Needs drainage tubs to funnel some of the moisture coming down from your neighbours above… will probably end up below into the pool.
Completely agree, instead of the bio-pool maybe you should divert resources into terrace & road access strengthening
I googled for you ideas to stop the slopes from falling and this is what i found for you: In order to prevent slope erosion, plant grass and other vegetation. Grasses are great for slope stabilization because of their roots. They also absorb rainwater and other precipitation, making water erosion less common.
Thanks so much for the suggestions Anne 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Beach grasses work wonderfully well if you have those there?We use them here on Cape Cod in the dunes and beach erosion!
🙂💕🌾 so love the time capsule idea and I feel for you Tara regarding writing a note - that seems to be less and less used these days. Sawyer and Crusoe are such happy little boys even when they have to give up a beloved toy. Hope you’re having a wonderful time so far in India!!
I just love the idea of the Time capsule .The boys get more and more adorable each time I see them. Nice work John your build. I suppose it does not help with the constant rain. With any projects you would like to do. Glad they got the tractor out, hoping you dont have anymore landslides with all the rain. Loved watching Tara John Crusoe and Sawyer😘
The time capsule was so fun to put together with our boys Annette. Thanks for the support and for the love. Sending you lots of hugs 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
@@TheNewbys 🥰
Word up for how cool your neighbours are. So helpful.
They are the best Billy 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Look at Crusoe helping bury the hobbit house. So empowering for him to know he contributed ❤
Thanks Mary! A great days work for sure!!
Oooo i hope you scatter some wild flower seeds in spring over the hobbit house! They love some bare earth and it would look amazing for instant beautification!
Yes!!
Good work team. I love how the hobbit house is developing. It was lovely to see Crusoe there in the mix of things. Time capsule is a wonderful idea. Good work Tara. Cheers until next time.
Thanks Sandra!
Love watching the Hobbit House get buried. Reminded me of favorite movie series.
Little Crusoe, the best helper around!!!!! 🇬🇷 🇬🇷
What an emotional video,Tara. You're a sensitive person thinking of leaving memories to future people..making a summary of your living moment where everyone is included. Love you all.what wonderful parenting for beloved Crusoe and Sawyer.❤❤❤
Thank you Luisa, we always love hearing from you and appreciate you 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Watching Crusoe and João digging the soil is ❤❤❤❤❤❤priceless ❤❤❤❤.
Their relationship is so special Tina 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
I can’t even imagine what a little person like Sawyer must feel and think of the freedom of being mobile with his walking and exploring but mommy and daddy are watching. He’s growing like as they say a bad weed but he’s a sweet weed. lol. Oh Crusoe that’s John so funny. Time capsule great idea. Take care.
We love that our boys have the freedom to run around on the farm (but being safe at the same time). He is growing up so quickly! Thanks for the love, we will see you again on Sunday 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
I disagree with the last comment 😮! I have always admired your positivity...but life isn't always rainbows & sunshine 100% of the time for anyone! I wanna say that I appreciate you keeping it REAL! I absolutely Love all of your vlogs...my favorite & you always make me smile! "Crack on" as I often hear you say! You guys are Awesome & amazing!👏❤🏠 🥰💞🙏🎑
Thank you Leanna! That’s so very kind friend. 🙏❤️
Nice place, I like the American style open kitchen, so definitely open up that wall, use the smallest room as a walk in closet - if you can merge the bathroom wall with the smaller room and make it into a nice bathroom with a walk in closet. The storage room will turn into a pantry!!
Maybe reinforce the terrace so you have road access year round? Wire cage filled with rock is what I see a lot of where I live. If you’re able to run a grader behind the tractor that would help with the ruts? They look deep. Looking forward to seeing the hobbit house finished 🌱💚❤️ Don’t bury the “special” digger mom🤣❤️
Gabion wall. Is that the term? With all the rocks around there, it should work. Quite common on the roads in NY state.
Thanks for that suggestion Stephanie, something to look at for sure. The special digger is never allowed to leave his hands haha thanks for the support friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
John took the words out of my mouth I was just thinking you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.love to see Crusoe getting stuck in the job 😊
Yep. It's the paradox of hydraulic machinery, with tracks or wheels. They do so much damage through compaction (which is hard to fix, if at all) and yet can do the work of a dozen people, and create light fluffy planting soil at the same time... And move mountains of stuff. At the end of the day, roads are roads, since forever, and they can always pull a big hook through where they've been.
Another 'Real Life' family video, so pleased you share it with us. What John does with each project will, am sure, have his families safety in first place. Can already envision what the Hobbit House will look like, Love it!!
He does indeed Linda, safety is always our number one priority! Thanks so much for watching 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
The boys are so precious❤
Thank you so much Janet ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning! 7am on Thursday in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Good morning Bernice, hope you are enjoying our episode with a nice brekkie or drink in hand! Thanks for the support 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Time capsule is such a good idea! Really enjoy the boys each week ❤
Oh the boys!!! How different they are but blend so well. Crusoe has always been so serious and Sawyer is a chuckle/ belly laugh going somewhere to happen! It’s so hard for children to give up their old toys…..used to have our 5 pick one every year for the Salvation Army toy drive. It’s good for them to learn at an early age to think of others don’t you think? The place is looking so good, so much hard work from you two and neighbors and now it is blossoming into a real beauty. Many hugs to all. See you next post🤗🤗👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏
Thank you Bindi! ❤️🙏
LOVE THE TIME CAPSULE. Wish we could fast forward in life and see the family opening it. 😊 I never quite know at the beginning what John is building…BUT always guaranteed it’s going to be fabulous!!! Fantastic video and job guys! ~Cara ❤
Thanks Cara, I know right! I always wonder if people find them and what their thoughts are. I know we would love to find something like this, so special. John has quite an incredible creative brain, he has some tricks up his sleeve with this one too... thanks for always supporting us friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Great video, nice little project! Going to be cool when finished! Keep up the great work!
Thanks friend, we are so excited for this project. Wait until you see the finished product 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
🙂💕🌾 so love the time capsule idea and I feel for you Tara regarding writing a note - that seems to be less and less used these days. Sawyer and Crusoe are such happy little boys even when they have to give up a beloved toy. Hope you’re having a wonderful time so far in India!!
Hi friends, great to hear from you. I was quite surprised to see how hard the writing was for me, I should really do more of it. We are not in India just yet, but we leave pretty soon! Can't wait 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Hello Newby’s Thanks for The JJ link - have played it for 4 years today quite fun. 19.17 hrs COPENHAGEN .. Wish you a safe trip to faraway 🤗
Hello friend, ah we love to hear that! Don't forget to click on our link twice to get your hands on the free hammock 😉 thanks for the support!
Hi beautiful people ❤.just love watching the boys t get her.you know Tara I was watching the video to day when you were going into hospital to deliver sawyer.how times flys.my tears started running down my face .you were so emotional.i have being with you guys all the years never missed one video.i hope one day I will meet you guys in real .love you guys❤❤❤❤
Hello Catrina, ah wow can't believe that Sawyer is over a year old already. Time is literally flying by. Thank you for supporting us all the way and over the years 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
6:45 Wow you looked so stressed at seven minutes in. But it's not your fault, you really can't help, and I can imagine it must get a bit awkward filming all their difficulties, as well as their best bits. But. They did it. And you can make it up to them with all those things that good neighbours can do. You're so lucky to have them. PS I had to chuckle at the incredible bit of single handed wrapping that John pulled off. Hats off to you. PPS i'm actually quite jealous of the lovely long convivial dinner you're all going to have in the coming weeks.
Your content is relatable and watchable on its own. You can ease off on the click-bait type captions to your videos!
Thanks friend. We appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching. 👍👍🙏🙏
You are such a PRECIOUS family Tara ❤️🕊❤️ Well done with “The message in a Bottle “ Love you always 🌹🌹🌹💪🏻
You know how to put a smile on our faces Ziska, thank you! The message in a bottle was so much fun. Thanks so much for the love and support 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
You have to plant lots of things Over. It Will look lovely ❤
The time capsule is a wonderful idea Maybe someday Crusoe and Sawyer will take their grandchildren to the hobbit house to look for it? With all the craziness in the world it so amazing to see how you are raising your boys. I admire youband John for your intentionally in creating this amazing life path for your family. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
We love that idea Deb. Thanks for your lovely comment and compliment 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Your earth to cover the bunker episode reminded me of the Hugh Grant movie - the Englishman who went up a hill and came down a mountain!
Oh the tractor almost disappearing was awful! When a tractor is in trouble it really is bad, so thank goodness for their quick action in cutting away the wall-side to make room! The time capsule is such a lovely idea ☺ I hope it is found and brings as much joy to those who find it as it has to you putting it together. Are you going to add the clip of you making it to the memory card? The soil being added to the Hobbit House reminds me of the way that fallen leaves, (which I know so many people find untidy), manage to soften the harsh edges where they gather along paths and roads. It's just softened the building beautifully, and when John makes the few little building additions so it can go all over the sides it will look so snug! *Hugs * to you all! xx
Hi Kimberley, yeah it was a tough situation there for a while, the driver though is very experienced and did well. Job moves on at a pace and pretty soon we should be moving on to the next project. Did someone say treehouse?!! ;)
Olá, que Linda Família 😍 Adorei, ver o menino com uma picareta na mão, já parecia um Português 🇵🇹 a trabalhar com o seu Pai. Assim, dá gosto recebermos, as pessoas no Nosso País Portugal 🇵🇹 que Respeitam, que trabalham,não como Muitos de outras, Nacionalidades que não respeitam, a nossa Cultura os Nossos costumes, e a nossa Identidade . Muito ,Parabéns 👏👏 os seus vidéos são Lindos 😍 assim,como Boas recordações, de Ajudar os nossos Pais,quando eramos pequenos e que tínhamos, Saúde e Felizes. Tudo ,de Bom 🍀 Bom e Feliz Natal 🌲☃️ Merry christmas 🌲☃️😍🇵🇹👍🇲🇫
The plastic cover is unlikely to prevent water leaking. Some polyurea coating or any other underground waterproofing was a good idea.
Thanks Ari, ling term agreed. Current thinking is that this plastic is fairly temporary, with a bigger project in mind that will require modifying the hobbit house later in the year. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
The tile is also a great time stamp for someone in the future to know when the antique feature in their house was laid.❤
There’s a home close to my neighborhood that was built as an actually bunker the only thing you see is the front door and two windows in Florida
The hobbit house is coming along really well. I thought that was going to be Crusoe's reaction about the digger, bless him but great getting them both involved x
I hope you don't tear down the beautiful little house your living in. It is so sweet and beautiful. You did a wonderful job renovating it. Would be see it go!❤😊❤❤
A lot of work for a potato cellar! Just kidding - it looks brilliant! You are fortunate to have such good help! Good job!!!
😂😂😂 for sure Michael!!
😅i love kids! They make life VERY interesting and never boring...❤
The hobbit house is coming along nicely. Thank you, Senior Augustino and Joel. Get some rest, John. The time capsule is a neat idea. That is my special tractor! How cute!
Thanks Peter!! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
How about making a wooden box to fit on the top then put two layers of turf then plant bulbs in the turf. Snowdrops or daffodils for the spring.
Lovely idea friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Hi Guys, just like to comment on Crusoe, his ability to do what he does at his age is just amazing he is so natural, ok good luck on all the projects......
Thank you Sandra!
Good evening is 8 pm here in South Africa
It looks like you need retaining walls on those terraces to keep them from collapsing! Nice job on that hobbit house storage building! It is so nice to have extra help from people who know what they are doing!
We always love having the extra hands and help when needed friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Those two boys of yours are an entertainment unto themselves....already practical, happy and contented. Thank goodness for good neighbours!
Thank you for the lovely comment about our boys! Having such great neighbours is a game changer Norma, they are incredible 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Sawyer is so cute as he is learning to talk!
Happy to see your happy family.
We love hearing from you friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Don't feel manipulated at all...... So many of Utube are unashamedly false and click bait...... Absolutely not in this case... Loving the journey with you all!
Crusoe wasn't very convinced of capsule!! Sawyer such a happy little man ❤
I'm so glad that you allow us to be apart of your family and your dreams what adventures for your boys. Love from Virginia ♥️
Thanks Barbara!! ❤️❤️
You have to put same jute mats on the soil fix them and than put gras and flower seets on it. We do that on the sites of our highway canyons. It works very good to fix the soil.
Thanks Sabine 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Mummy a boys “digga” is his most precious artifact!
Great effort, hobbit house is looking great, Tara l love the time capsule idea, another awesome vlog, love from your Aussie friend
Thanks Donna!!
those tiny tractor tracks are probably nothing compared to the mess that is going to happen when the building site for the new house happens, i am sorry to say. so chin up! and the best of luck.
Thanks for the well wishes friend, let's see how it goes! Thanks so much for watching 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Sayer is learning to explore like Crusoe , as indicated by the bruise on his forehead . Lol The badges of boyhood.
The badges of boyhood, being a younger brother and of being 1 and finding your feet 😂
Dzień dobry, serdecznie pozdrawiam z Poland .😊jestem pod wielkim wrarzeniem Państwa pracy ❤Jesteście cudowną rodziną. 😘🥰
Thank you so much friend, this is such a kind thing to say. Thanks so much for watching ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
When saving something that is written for a long time....use lead pencil. It does not fade like ink....we use it when describing people in picture to last for a 100+ years.
Thanks for the suggestion Rebecca, will remember that for next time🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
We’re going to bury our own time capsule now. Watching y’all and thinking…hope someone uncovers this when your boys are old men and it brings them great joyous memories. great video.
Ah yay, we love that friend! Enjoy putting it together and burying it 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Can you do a sketch of the layout of the farm? It would give us a better idea of where the projects are and how they link together. You could update it as the changes occur.
Hi Stuart, we do have one that we sometimes include in our intro. Here is a link to a video that has this intro in it: kzhead.info/sun/jdOwl9evhpyvfJ8/bejne.html the map is at around 0:30 ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
Good afternoon Newby family, by this time today, either you are set to go to India or at least preparing to. Lots of work, I am sure the Hobbit House is finished by now. Lots of ways to stop the erosion, rocks, stones, pebbles so that the earth stays in place. So emotional seeing you Tara writing your TIME CAPSULE LETTER, cherish those moments you have all recorded through time of your adventures with your vans, your pregnancies and especially now with your little ones. You heard before TIME FLIES, a few more weeks it is the end of 2023. PRAYING AND HOPING 2024 FOR PEACE, JOY, LOVE AND HOPE FOR A BETTER WORLD. ❤❤❤🥰💖🌺🦋🕯🙏🏡🌄🇵🇹
Hi Joanne, we are just about to head off to India and we can't wait! This year has flown by for sure, still can't quite believe we are in December already. Thank you for your well wishes friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
@@TheNewbys Bon voyage Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer. Lord protect you and watch over you. Please be safe, and be careful with the food for the children, I know John went many times but children are delicate. Enjoy and we will watch your other channel for your travelogue.
I love the time capsule…Tara … especially watching things going in and out of the jar with Sawyer 😊and Crusoe 🥰
Things take a bit longer when the boys help Denise haha we don't mind though, it is always so special sharing these moments with them 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Loved every second! The time capsule is awesome. Hope it stayed a secret for hundreds of years. I’m thankful the hobbit house is safely buried, with no tractor harmed. Love you Newbys! Beautiful video!🩷💕
Thanks so much Skye, we loved putting the time capsule together. We love hearing from you and appreciate your love 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Great vlog Newbys! Love the time capsule
I love June's journey. I've been playing for about 3 years now.
That’s incredible Susan! So glad to hear you’ve been enjoying it too ☺️🙏🏼❤️
The hobbit house looks great Newbys! My heart swelled upon hearing Sawyer say Mama and Dada💞 The time capsule is a terrific idea!
Thank you Melanie, we also love it when we hear Sawyer say our names (not so much at 1am 😂) thanks for the support and love 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
Thank you so much for sharing! I love seeing the boys grow and all the things they can do now...what a blessing!
Thanks Michelle!! ❤️❤️
Tara I love the time capsule, such a thoughtful and fun thing to do and boys input was priceless 🤩❤️ I also love the kindness of your neighbours helping you build, shift , take down, plant and create your beautiful property ❤️🙏
Thanks friend. We are so very lucky!!
Gosh two years already! Amazing! Lots to look forward to
Wow…that was very interesting to see. Also loved your choices for the time capsule.
Thanks so much Lena 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
I love your neighbours. The dad and his so. Are extremely knowledgeable and very handy……I am sure you have learned a lot from their experiences as they have lived there.
Yes they are!
The time capsule is fun. The foundation preparation for any structure is the most important part, I believe that John is seeing this and will have to rethink this project to make it even better and safer. Much love to all in your journey. The digger man is the bravest of persons on that terrain.
Thanks so much Dorothy 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
You may need some sort of retaining wall from the boundary and road.
Love the time capsule, great message.👍❤
Wow it's looking good great job John. 👍
Tara love your time capsule idea. This is just a thought on the picures your using, all your faces have no smiles on them. Maybe adding some with smiles would be a nice representation of how happy you are with your life on the property 😊 Happy Hoildays 🎄
Hi Newbys, it seems you have to walk a very fine line with the titles, old timers like me know what you're referring to but obviously some people see the teasers as 'click bait!' You don't need to draw people in with shock titles as your lovely family content and exciting ideas and projects do just that.
Hi Claire, good to hear from you friend. We definitely try hard to keep our titles as real and relevant as possible, I would encourage everyone here to look back at our last 10 videos as evidence of this, and in fact if you have watched this video then the title and thumb nail probably also seem fairly benign and inoffensive, this is because you know what the title relates to; you have watched the content and seen us almost concluding a build and making it disappear under some soil. “End and Gone” two words which seem to have sparked an important debate! The truth about titles and thumbnails is that they need to remain relevant, and true to the video, but like movie posters they also need to capture the imagination. It’s a very hard job getting it spot on. Trust me the rewards for those people who do get it right are huge, and for the excellent content out there that is overlooked because of poor presentation, well that’s a terrible shame. If anyone reading this would like me to make a short video explaining this in detail, please do let me know, happy to weigh in with a few YT insights. Thanks so much Claire, as always we really appreciate your support.
Hello family! Just want to let you know that I order the AG1 greens kit from your website. I am so excited to start a new year with better healthy choices.
Hi Mariana! Ah amazing. Thank you so so much for your support friend. We know you are going to love AG1 as much as we do. 🙏🏼❤️
So beautiful watching the boys 🥰 doing the time capsule 🤗
Beautiful vidro Tara abc John as allways thd boys are having the best life ❤
Thank you Dina!
Tara, the time capsule was a lovely idea. Love the way hobbit house is turning out to be. I was as excited as Crusoe and Sawyer on seeing the tractor 🚜 today🤣🤣🤣 thanks for bringing that simple joy in my life today!!! Love all the way from India🙏
We love that you get just as excited as us about the tractor 😂 Thanks so much for watching friend 🚜❤️🙏🏼😊🇵🇹🏠
I love the Hobbit house, well everything Hobbit related. So exciting. Time capsule is a brilliant idea.
Looks fantastic 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow that hobbit house is going to look great I can't wait to c it finished!!
You should cover the jar too in wax so it won’t rust.
Hello John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer….great vlog….love the time capsule idea and all you put in it. Also I always wonder if Joao and your friendly neighbours think you’re the mad foreigners with all your weird and wonderful projects lol! 😂They are so great with all the help they give you. Marvellous. Happy boys = happy lives. Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊
Thanks Julie! I think João and our neighbours share a vision of what this land can be when we are finished. Our goal is huge; beautiful gardens that flow from one zone to the next, interesting views and exciting structures. There is so much work to be done, and the community here for the most part thinks is all great fun, we try hard to include as many people as possible too! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
@@TheNewbys I love your vision and watching it come to fruition…..and I do believe you have the best neighbours and community. For all, it must be wonderful to see the land coming back to life 🥰
As usual, I am astounded with what you are doing. So longing to go to MAPPERTON.
