Today Iβm cleaning out the reservoir on our off-grid homestead in rural Portugal.
This is a yearly maintenance task β if itβs not done, algae builds up, water quality drops, and the whole system suffers.
.
Best done on a warm, sunny day!

Flowing spring water and aquatic life in the reservoir
Springtime on the quinta: flowers, butterflies, and wildlife

After selling up in England in 2021, we moved to rural Portugal to start a new life off the land.
Itβs been challenging but incredibly rewarding β learning to live more self-sufficiently every step of the way. Homesteading in Portugal isnβt always easy, but the journey is worth it.
