  • Love how John is accomplishing so much in spite of the annoying rain! He is a true craftsman with carpentery. Tara: please continue to show us so more places and your hometown you grew up in Zimbawee,. Also, if your parents don’t mind, have a video conversation with them! Besides me, I think all of your subscribers would love to hear their thoughts about their way of life in Africa & having their precious daughter & grandchildren stay with them for awhile. Enjoy your stay & very best to all of you. ❤️

  • The trip to the wildlife park with the boys reminded me of my time growing up in Tanzania doing all sort of adventures on the back of a Land Rover., or swimming in the river under the waterfalls on the plantation or escaping to another seaside village on the bicycle with a bunch of friends without telling the parents what we were doing!! Those were the days growing up in Africa, a time of your life that you will remember for ever. I am sure your boys will have the fond memories of their visits to Africa when they grow up.

Flying feet are Crusoe’s shstick……his lovely support of whatever is delightful! And that pointing finger of Sawyer is a mandate! Do it! He knows what’s next and he’s ready, also! I figure Crusoe will be ready to drive before he returns home. He and Grampa are getting along famously. Love it!

You are such a positive and energetic worker, I think you inspire Joao in many ways,,,,the loaded wheel barrow down the steps, for instance. You two work so well together. Good to see Tara and the boys enjoying the "aminos" with her parents. Thay will soon be home with you again, and it will be back to hunting for lost tape measures and tools with legs!

    • My better half and my 4 year old went to visit my mum in New Zealand. Left England for 4 weeks and I was lost without them. I feel your solitude even with your Portuguese friends around. It’s just not the same. Great job on the extension.

  • Hi from Australia, John as always you are a joy to watch you work and getting things done. I am a 68 year old grandmother and your content is relaxing to watch. With all the trouble and horror going on in the world, its nice to watch something less stressful. It a joy to see Tara and the boys spending quality time with family. Sending blessing 🙌 🙏

  • As a long time viewer I’m constantly amazed by how much you’ve done to that farm while still maintaining the beauty it had when you found it. I can honestly say from an outsider, you have only made that place even more magical. Thanks for sharing! Also that park in Africa looks amazing, obviously the animals are beautiful but the landscape is so cool. I’ve never really seen a forest in Africa that was an unexpected treat ❤

  • Oh the rain so annoying is there no way you could tie some tarp over the roof on the terrace at least a bit of cover when lashing down. Great work tho so far and Hello Tara and boys what memories you are making for these wonderful kids, xxxx Hugs Dede xxx

    @TheAwakeningangel@TheAwakeningangelАй бұрын
  • Building from the roof down is an excellent idea - why did no-one think of it before? 🤣 It's taking shape though, the vision is quite clear now. The persistent rain is frustrating though, I'm trying to get my garden done. It's great to watch the boys, especially Sawyer beginning to connect with his heritage - and learning the difference between a cow and a zebra, but both of them enjoying their roots, extended family and background culture. They're so alive, no wonder John misses them so much - it sounds good to have the space to work in, but 'clear space' is soon 'empty space' when it's raining and home doesn't feel like home without them.
