As this is our last day in Portugal it seems like a good time to reflect upon the holiday as we contemplate returning to lush green wet old Blighty. I haven't visited Portugal before but can honestly say nearly everything about the country gets a thumbs up from all of us. The climate is perfect, clear blue skies and sunny days with a slight breeze that gives refreshment just when you need it. No nasty beasties, we haven't been bitten by or indeed seen anything of concern. The Portugese people are so wholeheartedly friendly, kind and considerate that it makes me wonder why Britain has had such a love affair with Spain for so long, and on a personal note the fauna has more than lived up to expectations. So well done Portugal and thanks for having us, we will be back, but for now we are ready to take up the challenges of family life again which entail changes for all of us. The teenager is starting GCSE's, the son begins secondary school and I'm starting college and begining another round of decorating-must be mad! The blog will be back on Monday 22nd.
