We Love Moses!

Blogging the stories of our family life on a yoga retreat in the magical village and valleys of Amieira, Central Portugal. Everyday we are tending this beautiful land and its stone dwellings in our journey towards self sufficiency. Moses is the Portuguese name of this place, meaning many mill stones. And, providently, is also the name of our beloved golden retriever, without whom, we'd never have found it. We love you Moses.

About Us

The Winters
We are one small family living in peace in Portugal. Andrew (aka Memphis), Vonetta (aka River), Josh, Eloise, Moses and Saphira (the dogs) and Angel (the feline owner of the place). We arrived in Portugal from London via a motorhome trip round southern europe in 2007. First restored a stone cottage then a farmhouse moving into the latter in Summer 2010. We now run a yoga retreat on our farm as well as journeying towards self sufficiency - crops, fruits, flowers, olive oil, woodlands - working together with our delightful elderly Portuguese neighbours when they need help.
