Pounding tyres, erecting a Tipi, and partying, in the arid heat!

in ecoTrain4 years ago

This thumbnail image is of sunset tonight after i managed to pound two more tyres for the yurt base on our ecoVillage HQ land. It was beautiful tonight, and I can assure you that the view of the scenery was far more pretty than myself.. covered in dirt and sweat... and... im lovin' it! Why do i like pounding tyres so much!? Well you would have to read the book 99 Reasons to get Off grid with Earthship Biotecture to answer that one!

I've also been helping my new Austrian friends who have a beautiful piece of land very close to ours. Today we set up a TIPI for any people that come and want to stay and be a part of them manifesting their dreams.

Im happy to say that last weekend I FINALLY partied and met some of the locals! I havent really met many people who live around here, so it was a great opportunity to see some faces and have a nice chat.. and then party into the night. THey were a great, close knit group.. WE had to limit it to 30 people to comply with the rules,. and we were not disturbed.

Once of the great things about being here is that most people have their own land. and we can all host great parties, events, and more. It seems to happen naturally, and there is a great feeling of freedom. We make the party, the party is free, and everyone knows each other. It was actually very much like the Dance party i was dreaming about some months ago..

So the MAIN thing on my shoulders is this YURT! IT is my home and base, im currently more or less squatting in an unfurnished apartment.. its nice and cool in the day and has power so im appreciating it. but i cant WAIT to get on our land and have the yurt set up.. THat will be a VERY happy day for me!

SO i have about 10 more tyres, and a few days of work and i hope i can have this Yurt up. With some luck, around the same time I will have a digger here who will make us a borwelll. If we are lucky we will hit water! ;-)

SO its ALL happening.. all that and more.. Its very hard to say much more right now, but i will soon....

Much love you all! the QOTW is out this week.. check it out if you feel it!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ECO VILLAGE COIN (ECO) HODLERS:

We've moved! ecoVillage tokens have migrated to hive-engine. Air-drop is complete to all hodlers.

This is an important update to everyone who has purchased ecoVillage coin. There is nothing to do on your end except be aware of the changes. As many of you will know steem engine has a new hive version called hive engine. Since Steem is no longer stable or decentralised I have now completed the migration of all ecoVillage coins to https://www.hive-engine. I have also completed an air-drop of any tokens purchased by you to your hive wallets. You should be able to see them on peakd.com or hive-engine.com. This is the new location for everyone to buy and sell ecoVillage coins (ECO).

Un caro abbraccio 🤗 e un po' di BEER 🍻 da @amico!


Hey @eco-alex, here is a little bit of BEER from @amico for you. Enjoy it!

That's what you call paradise my friend. The people, the place and the feeling you had there. It's not all the time we could experience that kind of event and joy.

How nice it must be to enjoy to the fullest because you're not afraid that someone might be disturbed in that place. I envy you for having that kind of moment because that kind of stuff is what I love the most. A cool place and with cool people while enjoying the pretty nature.

thanks! glad you get it! yes it is a lovely feeling of FREEDOM.. very nice! i treasure it;-)

It's sort of exactly how I imagined it would be around there - chilled to the max!

I wasn't aware you were putting the yurt on the land you bought recently, so you really need no planning at all to erect something like that?

Or are you taking a risk and being very discrete?

 4 years ago  

happy to hear! l-)
yeah i asked my solicitor and apparently its totally fine to put a yurt up.. I think it can be harder in towns or cities but in rural areas they like it and support it.. especially if its your only home!

also our land is in a discreet location.. no one comes down that lane except the local farmers who seems quite nice ..

That sounds really positive!

I'm gonna totally have to tap you up about buying some land when I get over there - if you come across anything in your area for around £5K-£8K then do let me know! I don't think I need anywhere too big, 3-5 acres would easily be enough.

I'm aiming to be there early October. I'm hoping by that time the Covid-craziness would have calmed down a bit and no quarantine, also I get to avoid the intense heat of summer, early Autumn!

 4 years ago  

definately tap me up.. it seems i have connected via the local route.. not the commercial one.. which means MASSIVE savings on most things. and definately the land.. i think some of the nicest plots are ones that you hear from locals and not in the agent windows..

October is GOOD! nice time for the climate im sure.. portugal is open to tourists and not really doing quarantine stuff.. so i think its fine as long as you can find a flight!

Sounds good to me - mind you the prices of land I see online look pretty cheep already, but obviously cheaper is better.

There is a quarantine between the UK and Portugal atm coming back at least, which doesn't strike me as rational given that there is no quarantine between Spain and Italy, which had much higher rates!

I'm intending to drive - Ferry to Spain hopefully, they seem to be taking bookings atm, so I'm assuming it'll be fine for October.

I guess I should start learning the language! One thing that is certain, that certainly can't do any harm!

 4 years ago  

from what i can see.. there is just misinformation from shitty media reporting. Portugal are OPEN to all tourists. with open arms..all that happened was the UK didnt put POrtugal on their safe to travel list.. so it COULD mean you have to isolate when you come back.. etc. god knows.. but if you are comning one way.. its all good!

YES lEARN PORTUGESE ASAP! its essential

 4 years ago  

what i just said applied to flights.. driving is a different matter.. and spain has made it hard for anyone to cross UNLESS you have residency papers..

Ah OK that's interesting, I guess I'm hoping that things are a little more relaxed in October then!

With some luck, around the same time I will have a digger here who will make us a borwelll. If we are lucky we will hit water! ;-)

Get your synchronicity going and manifest yourself a dowser. I'd imagine that in a dry, rural area like that there are bound to be some around who can find where the water is!

Thank u for the ecoVillage purchase! Ill send it today!

Yeah. That's the good stuff. It's all energy!

FYI... No ECO coins have arrived yet.

 4 years ago  

ooh no! i did send them... but something must have gone wrong! I just did it again for you and i can now see them in you wallet! THANK YOU! and sorry for the delay x

No worries mate. Thanks for your work on the Ecovillages project for the benefit of all!

Wonderful that you got to get together with the locals and you are getting closer to living on the land! It sounds marvelous and it is a good thing you like pounding tires for I think there will be no shortage of that!
Glad things are looking up for you and things are progressing - always love to hear about the updates!
