Рік томуHi, we are Harriet and Mauro and in February 2021 we bought an abandoned smallholding in Castellón, Spain. In these videos we share our life as we restore and improve our little stone house, learn to grow and preserve our own food, and bring our 4 acres of farmland back to productivity.

@@grubert3535 In the English language a title or name can also be shown in quotation marks. Sometimes it's used for showing that a brand or place name isn't the real thing.

UKposts is also a concept....it's not a tube, it's not you (or me), it's a brand, an imaginary concept...which someone, at some stage, invented as a name to represent a video sharing website. Quotes or no quotes are both correct.

This may sound somewhat strange, but watching this video gave me such intense homesickness. I've never lived in the country or on a farm, all my life I've been in cities across the US. Somehow this video feels like watching someone move into my childhood home, sad because you're no longer living there but happy for the new life it'll have. I'm not sure where these feelings came from but I thought I'd share, and wish you well. This place looks incredible and I hope to do the same in the future. Wishing you all the best, a stranger on the internet

Es maravilloso ver tu crecimiento personal así como el familiar!!! Me hace muy feliz que estés aquí, compartiendo y disfrutando de nuestra diversidad que ya es la tuya y que seas tan respetuosa con tu entorno, natural y social. Se te ve feliz y, fíjate lo dudosa que estabas cuando dejaste tu trabajo y ahora estás segura de ti misma, desarrollando proyectos que ni imaginaste y cumpliendo metas. Me identifico con ese espíritu de lucha y de "vencer miedos" ya que, por mi trabajo, y también a nivel personal en mi casa (tuve que hacer y sigo haciendo mejoras yo misma), el saber que vas cumpliendo objetivos te hace más fuerte, te hace madurar y eso es lo que reflejas. El trabajo es bueno, te hace sentir bien y no hay que tener miedo a acostarse agotado porque al día siguiente tus fuerzas se recuperan, más aún cuando eres tan joven. Sigue así. Trabaja duro en tu casa porque es un reflejo de ti. Besos al gran Mauro!! Mauro, quiero ver un nuevo video tuyo ya!!! Besos a toda la familia.

You're one of the cooler human beings. I respect people with your mentality massively, not an easy thing to achieve, props.

Bravo Harriet! I am so impressed! You are very resourceful. Moving into a shack on your own, without running water or any furniture, with thousands of items on your “to do” list, is a very brave thing to do. And look what you have achieved in such a short time! It’s wonderful! Many of us dream of doing such a thing but so few of us ever do it. I hope you both have a long and happy life there. Well done girl! 😊❤️🦘

Thank you! You say brave but really there was nothing more I would have liked to have done in the world haha.

Well done you, lovely journey and story. The love we give the land stays there, even when we're gone and another person continues the relationship.

Mi más enhorabuena por vuestro gran trabajo. Habéis convertido ese trozo de tierra abandonado en un paraíso. Si todos hiciéramos un poquito por la madre tierra estaríamos mejor. Gracias por vuestro buen hacer.

I can relate to her energy. When you focus and have a plan ahead, things get to be done much easier. And when you look back to how things were before, that is where the satisfaction comes along with more encouraging ideas to continue and do things better. Loved your video. Makes my day🥰💚
@annneusidl5794 Рік тому
I’m very impressed, with your willingness to learn as you go, in the projects you undertake. It’s not easy having a large piece of property and a house to fix and maintain. A positive approach means a great deal in achieving your dreams. Lots of success in the future.🙂

Best wishes from a 71 year old doing something similar in central Portugal..only with the help of my brilliant wife. You have the right ideas, especially about the rustic look, I like that, we only have 1 acre, so 4 sounds a lot of work. Thanks...
