Love the logo. Fully sympathise with your bramble comment. Many s torn leg and clothing on our mini estate of 7500m up here in the Oeste. A fellow sufferer recommended a certain type of blade for my rocadora that has downward pointing wings. Totally destroys the beggars. Good luck and we would love to visit.

Brill choice for logo, guys!!!! Yup, that’s the one I went for! RIP Millicent😢 but Toyota deffo good choice for land bashing! Will you have a naming competition for your new acquisition? Here’s my suggestion - A FERA ..... ??? Really glad to see your Portuguese dream coming together - best of luck for your continued success!

A fun read in our converted cow barn just north of Winchester where we work with adults who have learning disabilities. I can vouch for the Toyotas after my time in Africa. Inherited a 20 year old Landcruiser when I ran a kids hospital in Malawi. Fantastic beast - a grey import from Japan, the snow version. Vital in that part of the world! Hope to visit you one day...

I was only a few lines in and already trying to think how to refer you to the Top Gear clip and there it was!

Great colour, got to love a red car!

Love the logo by the way.

Hopefully, we may get to visit in person some day - preferably once the wine is up and running 😋

I'm going to enjoy reading this Blog. My cousin told me about it after radio interview! We have a small ruin further north in Portugal, that we plan to start renovating as soon as we can get back to Portugal safely. Always enjoy reading peoples journeys and experiences! All the best

I’ve just tapped into your blog following your interview on radio 5 today. What an inspiration you both are. Looking forward to hearing more as things develop and progress hope it all works out, at least you will have a great truck!

What a brilliant decision. Bet you won’t regret it. What a great vehicle. Very practical not to mention “Butch” ! Annie !

Love Land Rovers for the aesthetics (= lack of any fancy bits), but Toyota Landcruisers are, sadly, better 😖 Especially since you guys seem to have moved to a place even Africa would consider pretty rough. Hope to visit you soon! How’s the surfing on your coast? Looks good from your coastal ramble pics 😎🤟
