  Description

  Welcome to our family home renovation project near Peniche, Portugal! Our cozy home, located in a charming village just 6 km from Peniche, is undergoing renovations, and we're striving to make it a sustainable haven. We're committed to reusing and recycling materials in the renovation project and transforming our garden into a flourishing food forest. With a 12-month-old baby in tow, we're seeking a helping hand.
