It takes Dutch Courage

We are René and Gaby. We're Dutch, and after living in the UK for nearly 12 years, we decided to pack up our things and move again. On our wish list: a quieter life, better weather so we could spend more time outdoors, not too far from a town/city, but not in the middle of one, enough land to grow our own fruits and vegetables, and enough space for a workshop, perhaps a brewery, and whatever else comes to mind. 

In 2023 we made the jump and moved to Portugal, first in a rental place, and then searched for a place to buy. After a long admin journey, we moved into our new home in December 2024, and will use this channel to update friends, family, and whoever wants to view too with our plans, progress, successes and failures!
