We have no bees right now, so I am off to learn how to split bee colonies — come on the journey (and hopefully avoid getting stung 😅).
Beekeeping is a vital part of sustainable living, and bees are essential for pollination, biodiversity, and healthy ecosystems.

We have no bees right now, so I am off to learn how to split bee colonies — come on the journey (and hopefully avoid getting stung 😅).
Want to know how to split a beehive & grow your colony? This is the video for you!
Beekeeping is a vital part of sustainable living, and bees are essential for pollination, biodiversity, and healthy ecosystems. In this episode, we dive into splitting bee colonies, opening up hives, and learning how to turn strong colonies into new ones.
We also talk about improving the land by planting clover seeds, helping to boost soil health, attract pollinators, and support a more self-sufficient homestead here in rural Portugal.
Have you ever worked with bees, or thought about getting into beekeeping? Let us know in the comments.

There’s water running somewhere above us in the mountains.
The only problem? We don’t know exactly where it is.
Finding this hidden mountain water source could transform how resilient our land becomes.
In this episode of our rural Portugal homesteading journey, we rediscover an ancient mountain water tank and water mine hidden above our land. We know it's up there, but finding it is a big challenge as all the paths are over-grown and the landscape is very steep! We need the water, however - and it’s all just part of building a more resilient landscape.
This is real life in rural Portugal. Water security is essential for off-grid living in Portugal, especially in wildfire-prone mountain regions like the Serra da Estrela & without water, life is pretty impossible so we want to maximise our resources.
Have you ever discovered a hidden water source or spring on your land? Let us know in the comments — especially if you have experience with land management or wildfire prevention.
Thanks so much for your support, your comments, and for subscribing.
Sending love to you & yours.

After a period of extreme weather, including strong winds and loads of rain, we take stock & carry on with all the work that needs doing!
In this episode, everyday life on the quinta continues. We look at how we’re managing woodland to reduce wildfire risk, how & why we’re slowing water as it moves through the land. From cutting back scrub and deadwood to shaping trees for the future, it’s all just part of building a more resilient landscape.
This is real life in rural Portugal — wind, water, mud, chainsaws, and all!
As always, feel free to share your own experiences or questions in the comments — especially if land management, wildfire prevention, or rural living is something you’re experiencing too!
We also take time out to catch up with friends @Quintabarrentaportugal - do check out their channel too!

Thinking about moving to Portugal?
Before you pack up your life and chase the sun, this video is for you.
In this longer-form episode, we talk honestly about what we wish we had known before moving to Portugal.
Through conversations with three people — Rob & Mandy from @PlanitPortugal, and musician @SpencerMaybe (INSTA @spencer.maybe) we explore the realities behind the dream and some of the things that often don’t get mentioned in relocation videos.
Alongside the interviews, everyday life on the quinta continues: winter work outdoors, tree pruning, progress on our tiny house, and even a visit underground to a Roman mine!
It’s not a highlight reel — it’s real life in rural Portugal, including the colder months that surprise many people dreaming of sunnier climes.
This video is aimed at anyone sitting at home in winter, wondering whether Portugal could be the answer — and whether the lifestyle lives up to the expectation.
We talk about:
- what surprised us most after moving
- the pros and cons of life in Portugal
- winter realities versus the sunny dream
- what we’d do differently if we started again
If you’re considering a move to Portugal, or just curious about what life here is actually like beyond the postcard images, we hope this helps you make a more informed decision.
Feel free to share your own questions or experiences in the comments — especially if Portugal is on your mind!
Thanks so much for your support, your comments, and for subscribing. Sending love to you & yours.

After much planning, we sold up in England in 2021 and moved to beautiful rural Portugal to start a new life. Living off the land, learning new skills, and becoming more sustainable has been challenging but incredibly rewarding. Homesteading in Portugal isn’t always easy, but the experience has been amazing.

This video is an example of a "Members-Only video that I have decided to publish to see what the reaction is...
I received an electricity bill that said that my electricity was 100% renewable & carbon-free...but can that really be the case?
In this video, I am filming a segment for a vlog I am releasing next week - as a member, you'll get early access!
As well as getting early advert-free access to videos, I am going to post occasional specials to give you a bit of an idea of our plans and some behind-the-scenes content which I really hope you'll enjoy.
As always, please do let me know what you think in the comments & please consider sharing videos with your friends.
After much planning, we left England 2 years ago to build a new life in beautiful rural Portugal #SerraDaEstrela - It's not been easy, but it has been wonderful.
Thank you so much for watching #HowardsPortugal
I don't really know much about bees or farming or fruit, but we are trying to become less reliant on the shops and to grow more of our own produce, so we thought we'd give it all a try!
Ever wondered what would happen if you just sold up & moved out?
We did, so we sold up & moved out!

The brakes have failed on my 1988 Toyota HiLux Pick-Up So I need to investigate and hopefully fix the problem!
More videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL8CJ3rWYGW5jncAHU0IKu_-gmA8oIWbu
BRAKE FAIL on my old Toyota HiLux... not ideal when you're halfway back from Spain! In this video, I try to fix the rear drum brakes on my 1988 Hilux here on the homestead in rural Portugal. I'm not a mechanic – just a determined DIYer doing my best to stay on the road.
Join me as I diagnose a leaking wheel cylinder, replace brake shoes, and wrestle with springs, rust, and fading daylight! I also talk about IBC tanks, water safety, and Legionella – and why moving water matters.
🛠 Drum brakes aren’t fun. But if you’re curious, or just want to hang out while I make a mess of my hands, hit play!
#ToyotaHilux #BrakeRepair #HomesteadLife #DIYMechanic #PortugueseHomestead #DrumBrakes #OffGridLiving #IBCtank #LegionellaPrevention #HiLux1988
This classic Toyota HiLux is pretty essential for life here — hauling wood, tools, and everything in between — so getting it back on the road is crucial.

After much planning, we sold up in England in 2021 and moved to beautiful rural Portugal to start a new life. Living off the land, becoming more sustainable, and learning new skills has been challenging but deeply rewarding. Homesteading in Portugal isn’t always easy, but it’s been an incredible experience.

The Hotel Águas de Radium is located near Sortelha, in the municipality of Sabugal, Portugal. It was built in the early 20th century, driven by the belief in the therapeutic benefits of the region’s radioactive waters. Legend says it was founded by a Spanish count, Dom Rodrigo, who brought his ill daughter for treatment in the local waters and, after her recovery, had the hotel built in gratitude
Opened in 1926, the hotel had around 90 rooms and could accommodate 150 guests. It offered treatments such as thermal baths, mud applications, and radioactive electric compresses. In 1929, the operation was leased to Sociedade Águas Radium, Lda., until 1940. After World War II, the popularity of radioactive waters declined due to the associated health risks, leading to the suspension of activities in 1945
In 1951, the Companhia Portuguesa de Radium, backed by English capital, attempted to revitalise the hotel but was unsuccessful. The complex was auctioned in the 1960s and bought by Ramiro Lopes, who planned to transform it into a luxury hotel. In 2000, the project was revived by his brother, António Lopes, with ambitious plans including a golf course and swimming pools, but these didn’t materialise due to high costs and the risks involved
Today, the hotel’s ruins remain as a testament to the region’s spa history, attracting visitors interested in its unique architecture and past.

In this video, I show how to build a trap to catch Asian Hornets (vespa velutina)
So, why is this wasp a problem?
The Asian hornet is an invasive species in Europe that has caused growing concern, especially due to its impact on honeybees and native biodiversity.
📍 Arrival
2004: First sighting in France, likely introduced via ceramic pots imported from China through the port of Bordeaux.
🌍 Spread
2006–2010: Rapid spread throughout southwestern France.
2010: Reached northern Spain (Basque Country and Navarre).
2011: Detected in Portugal, mainly in the north.
2012–2015: Expanded to Italy and Belgium.
2016: First spotted in the UK (Gloucestershire).
2017–2020: Continued spread into:
Germany
Switzerland
The Netherlands
Luxembourg
🔥 Current Status
Now firmly established in much of Western Europe, with sightings increasing in rural and urban areas.
Expansion is estimated at 60–80 km per year, depending on landscape and climate.
Warm climates, like parts of Portugal, Spain, and southern France, have become ideal breeding grounds.
🐝 Impact
Preys heavily on honeybees, especially at hive entrances.
Can devastate local bee populations, affecting pollination, honey production, and crop yields.
Also a threat to wild pollinators and biodiversity.

After much planning, we sold up in England in 2021 and moved to beautiful rural Portugal to start a new life. Living off the land, becoming more sustainable, and learning new skills has been challenging but deeply rewarding. Homesteading in Portugal isn’t always easy, but it’s been an incredible experience.

How I Make Lasagna
You can scale this recipe up or down & it also freezes well...
Ingredients
For the sauce
1/2 Beef & 1/2 Pork mince
(If you don't eat pork, substitute turkey)
(For a veggie version substitute mushrooms & Aubergines)
For each kilo of meat, you'll need
Tinned tomatoes - 2 cans
2 large onions
1/4 tube of tomato concentrate
4 to 5 cloves of garlic, minced
100 ml Olive oil
For the béchamel
100g unsalted butter
50g flour
Teaspoon cornflour (optional)
1.5 litres milk (you may not need all!)
Lasagna sheets
Method
Fry the meat in batches, transferring to a saucepan as you go to bubble with the chopped tinned tomatoes
Fry the onion
finally, fry the garlic with the tomato paste in the remaining oil & add to the pan.
Add a 1/2 tsp of salt at this stage - you can correct seasoning later
Add 1/2 litre of water, allow to simmer and reduce.
(You can make this in advance)
Béchamel
Melt UNSALTED butter in a pan
(Don't use salted butter - it burns!)
Add the flour and cook through gently.
When the roux is golden, add 1/4 of the milk and allow it to come to temperature before whisking in.
Add more milk as you go, waiting for the mixture to bubble before adding more
keep adding milk and allowing it to come to a bubble until the desired consistency is achieved.
Place a layer of meat sauce on the bottom of a lasagna dish, then a layer of lasagna.
Add another meat layer then more lasagna pasta, then two layers of béchamel.
Bake in the oven!
Cheers!

We are busy with tree felling and continuing our efforts with water management over the winter. It’s a time of renewal and growth on our homestead as we work on improving irrigation, water conservation, and reducing runoff to ensure we can manage the land more sustainably.
🔔 SUBSCRIBE & Join me on our journey as we build a new life in rural Portugal, focusing on becoming more self-sufficient and less reliant on stores. We’re trying our hand at farming and growing our own produce while learning about beekeeping and fruit growing in the beautiful Serra da Estrela region. Off-grid living and eco-friendly homesteading are key parts of this adventure, and we're excited to share our experiences with you.

#HowardsPortugal
After much planning, we sold up in England in 2021 and moved to beautiful rural Portugal to start a new life. Living off the land, becoming more sustainable, and learning new skills has been challenging but deeply rewarding. Homesteading in Portugal isn’t always easy, but it’s been an incredible experience.

🌿 Rewilding our Quinta is a huge step into the future! More videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL8CJ3rWYGW5jncAHU0IKu_-gmA8oIWbu
buymeacoffee.com/HowardsPortugal
Rewilding is full of promise but also presents challenges. As we tackle the risks of fires and plan for a greener, more sustainable landscape, we want your input. What would you do if you were starting a rewilding project in rural Portugal?
In this video, I’ll take you through our early efforts to protect against fire risks, the challenges of rewilding on fire-prone land, and how we’re preparing for a brighter future of eco-friendly homesteading. We're focusing on creating a more sustainable and self-sufficient homestead as we navigate the complexities of land management, water conservation, and irrigation in Serra da Estrela. But we don’t have all the answers, so share your thoughts in the comments! Let’s create a greener, safer Quinta together. 🌞
