We didn't expect this! Exploring our Italian farmhouse

This week feels like a collection of small beginnings! Dylan launches his own YouTube channel (   • From Neglected Land to Homestead Garden 🇮🇹...  , while here at the farmhouse we continue shaping this place into something that feels more and more like home. Nikky searches the old buildings for forgotten wine barrels to turn into flower pots — and unexpectedly uncovers a buried bottle of wine hidden beneath rubble. Of course, we couldn’t resist tasting it together to see if time had been kind to it... Outside, the first seeds go into the soil — the very beginning of our vegetable garden. We keep clearing the driveway and opening up the view, slowly revealing the landscape that first made us fall in love with this place. Along the way, Nikky discovers a special corner of nature on our land, and we build a simple fire barrel to gather around in the evenings. As always, it’s a mix of physical work, quiet discoveries and slow moments that remind us why we chose this life. This video is part of our ongoing journey restoring an abandoned farmhouse in the Langhe hills of Piemonte, as we learn to live more simply, grow our own food, and build a future here step by step.
