March 3rd – People

We took the 4 legged children on quite a hike today, and the scenery was stunning, but today’s photo is about life in rural Portugal. We passed by a sacred Font in the local village of Santa Clara and local women were sweeping up, and chatting away. Something we seldom see these days, with peopleContinue reading “March 3rd – People”

March 2nd – How will this day turn out?

We said adios to Spain, and Ola to Portugal today. We’ve really enjoyed Spain, the weather, food, and people have been great, but it’s time to head West and North as we’re 60% through our trip.

She was wobbly, violently sick and twitchy. After talking to the vet on the phone it was clear we neededContinue reading “Feb 27th – Drugs…..”

Feb 20th – Challenge accepted

So today’s post is kind of a follow on from yesterday’s where I was toying with the idea of checking out a mountain track. Karen, you got your wish. After a wonderful morning walking the 4 legged children, we got back to Dizzy (the Moho) and Mrs L and the mutleys crashed. I decided toContinue reading “Feb 20th – Challenge accepted”
