Holiday!!!

In a couple of days we will be winging our way to sunny Portugal for a family holiday. I shall be so glad to turn my back on all this dreadful weather we have been having here, and to soak up a little sunshine and relax and unwind. I am sorry I don't mean to gloat, I am just very excited and ready for it. I was looking up images of Portugal here, and thought you might like to see some of them.










It looks lovely, don't you think? I shall be having a break for a couple of weeks, but really look forward to seeing what you have all been up to when I return. As a contrast to the above photos, this is one I took of my courtyard last week when the heavens opened and pelted out hailstones.


Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, love Linda x.

    Hi Linda. Oh, how wonderful that you are going to be getting away from this dreadful weather. I've been to Portugal a couple of times, and love it! It's just one dark, damp, dismal day after another here in Devon, and the same is forecast for next week. I'm starting to get quite depressed about it now!! We all need some sunshine to lift our spirits, don't we?! Have a super time, and bring some sunshine back for us! Take care and safe travels.

    DEar Linda,

    I know you will have a wonderful time! I think I will be in Italy within the next 2 1/2, 3 weeks, and I can't wait to get there and enjoy the joys of a big Italian city (the one where I was born) first, and the next the peace of our home on top of a mountain, overlooking the sea and Capri! I want to pick lemons and figs from my trees, soak up as much sun as I can and feel happy just because I'm there... at home!

    HAVE A LOVELY TIME!

    I'll try to post from Italy, this time!

    CIAO... hugs...

    Hello Linda

    I am delighted to hear you are heading to Portugal. Looking forward to reading about it and seeing it through your eyes.
    I was in the Algarve for three weeks a long time ago and the grilled sardines are to die for (not remotely like the canned variety).

    Bon Voyage
