Gold panning in a mexican river A real wholesome day with Valentin and familia. I've always wanted to go panning for gold and finally the dream came true. A brilliant day out and one I will remember for a long time #gold #goldpanning #mexico #adventure #river

getting to grips using the drone. Some footage of a beach walk in Puerto Escondido @Cuds #puertoescondido #drone #beaches #walk #sunshine

A couple of amazing moments Turtle release and Dolphin spotting both incredible experiences @Boxing Camp Mexico @Cuds #turtle #dolphine #mexico #amazing #experience

went alligator hunting and ended up getting attacked in the mexican bush. worst experience ever and I feel we were lucky to make it out alive. we have some wounds from the experience but I think I'll recover... this time... #attacked #fear #mexico #run #trauma @Cuds

Pepe's famous fish tacos A definite must if you are in the area. Best tacos weve had so far and Mr Pepe is a great guy, we had lots of laughs whilst enjoying a good bite to eat #tacos #food #mexicanfood #freshfood #tasty@Cuds @Pepesfishtacos

Friendly sparring with one of the other local clubs. First time sparring someone I didn't know and with an audience but I was fairly relaxed and had good fun @evan_kleinmann put on a good show with a real brawl with one of the locals 💪🥊 #boxing #sparring #boxingtraining #fight #fightnight

Mexican boxing camp in Puerto Escondido Been a great first week settling into things The people, food and scenery are all amazing. Bless to be here #boxing #boxingteam #mexico #food #activities @Boxing Camp Mexico @Cuds

Absolutely blown away with this beautiful this place is. Really bless to be teamed up with these guys as well @boxingcampmexico #puertoescondido #team #beach #beautifulbeach #boxingteam

Been a bit slow uploading and starting to feel guilty about it but here are some quick videos of some moments so far. I have more on my new camera but I'm learning how to use it etc so will take a bit longer #boxingworkout #mexico #beach #fitness #boxing @Cuds @Boxing Camp Mexico

We've finally arrived. 26hours travel, pretty much zero sleep but we made it We have a couple of days to relax before the training begins. The food here is incredible and the portions are huge so I need to be mindful not to constantly stuff myself! #puertoescondido #mexico #relax #food @Cuds

Here we go! The beginning of a this grand adventure I'll be uploading things we discover, enjoy etc be interesting to see how it all unfolds #adventure #newchapter #boxing #contentcreation #experience @Cuds

Before I leave for Mexico there is homework to be done Made good progress the last couple of days. Things are still taking me longer as im still adjusting to my new medication for fibromyalgia but on the whole feeling good Glad to be getting things ticked off and only a couple of days now before we begin this grand adventure #work #repointing #construction #building #renovation @Cuds

Thank you everyone for the kind words and support. It's come from far and wide and it's been appreciated more than you would know - New medication is settling in ✅ - Flights and boxing camp booked ✅ Another week to get back on my feet and get some training to prepare for what's coming Love to you all #fibromyalgia #boxing #mexico #recovery #newthings @Cuds

I wasn't going to put this out but I thought I'd start this journey on an honest foot. Been suffering for a long time being in constant pain, my body has gone into 'keep safe mode' leading to total body stiffness to protect itself but it forgets to let go, the result then turns into chronic pain. My body has then compensated in other areas which have then given out, possibly why I ended up needing my S1 disc shaved due to slipped discs and a hip operation to regain movement, this was before I knew anything about fibromyalgia. I've always wanted to learn to box and as the Mexicans are world renowned I thought where better place to learn. I've really enjoyed making content so far and doing daily (nearly) vlogs and have received lots of positive feedback from friends, family and people I've never met before which has been really encouraging. I'm going to continue doing so albeit now in a different direction. The plan is to keep making content and documenting as I go and hopefully it will grow so it will sustain myself for future endeavours. Construction work is something I may have to leave behind for now but you never know what the future brings. If these new tablets work (deluxatine) It should make things a lot more manageable. Thank you for your support so far, it's been very much appreciated and Im looking forward to whatever comes next #change #newlife #fibromyalgia #contentcreator #newchapter

All windows and doors in! Another job completed! #work #building #window #construction #carpentry

Sorry Tommy Another day back in the loft. Still sorting the previous builders mistakes, it's getting tiresome now as it's making even the simplest jobs long and boring. Still, the jobs are moving forward and everyday we come nearer the end. #work #building #construction #window #carpentry

How I fit a window I have 16 windows and a door to do on the renovation We got 4 windows in this afternoon. Should get them all in but end of the week #building #windowfitting #construction #work #renovation

Not going to be able to retire on this but still a nice find. Few facts for you in this little coin #facts #coin #treasure #construction #work

Bathroom wall stud work done (mostly) We are ticking off the list of the jobs left for us to do on this renovation #carpentry #building #construction #bathroom #work

Bonus dance at the end 😂 Another day on the renovation. Subfloor rotted so out with the old and in with the new Was a lot of unexpected hard work but it's done now and we can push on with the rest of the house #building #renovation #carpentry #work #latex

Planter for a stairwell in London Another long day and made slightly longer due to Olya wanting to stay on the land of sleep Smashed it out and looks amazing as always #mossart #stairs #install #work #longday @olyacir @biophilixuk

On the worst part of the job: Insulating and plasterboarding It's tedious, dusty work but it means we are nearing the end! Loft is actually completed but I forgot to film it as I just wanted to go home after another hot days work! #building #construction #renovation #carpentry #work

A day in the life of a Moss Art installer Working with @olyacir at Farnborough air show. 14.5h day from when we left to the time we got home. Exhausted but we got loads done and Olya is now ready to finish her artwork ready for the event #art #work #mossart #longday #installation @biophilixuk @olyacir

Bit of Saturday homework Replacing the tiles underneath the hip was annoying but managed to get it done. Need with new hip tiles to replace the broken ones but that's now an easy fix Everything else done and looking great. Only took all day #roofing #building #work #saturday #sunny@Cuds

Back in the loft fixing all the bodge jobs as we go. Stud work in, corner post in and landing hallway up Loft has also been insulated and we had a big clean up and sort out downstairs for next week Glad it's Friday as this week has been a tough one #building #work #loft #carpentry #woodwork

Nearly killed the team carrying all the materials into the loft There is so much I forget to record but hopefully it gives you a good idea of a day in the life of a builder. we had a good day and got plenty completed ! We are all exhausted now #building #work #hardwork #carpentry #team

Building a partician wall! Moisture resistant MDF panels and insulated This means they can screw whatever and wherever they like whilst staying nice and warm #carpentry #building #woodwork #wall #work@olyacir @biophilixuk

On a hot summer's day, what better way to cook down than attack the hose pipe #dog #waterfight #doglife #coolingoff #summer @Cuds

Another day fixing whoever built this lofts mistakes Replacing the felt with a breathable one to help stop any future leaks #roofing #loftconversion #carpentry #hardwork #building

Episode: Jim will fix it Adding a lintel to the soilder course to help prevent movement in the brickwork and to stop anymore leaks ! #brickwork #building #work #construction #house
