whether you are at home or abroad every now and again you encounter a business run with real vision and passion, we found such a place here in Ferragudo yesterday evening. To be fair we had seen it the day before but due to liberal lubrication we felt it wise to postpone our visit until we could appreciate it fully! Anyway if you ever find yourself in this part of the world you must visit the art gallery Deja Vu run by Angelica Padua and Jerome Gay, it is stuffed with original and unusual works of art at affordable prices and all made by local artists. Check it out at facebook/dejavuferragudo. There is a small exhibition on view in the local square here too, I'm not sure quite what the significance of elephants is but they are rather good fun. I spotted this aeonium today, it must be very old to have grown so large, I'd like to have some at home but they are frost tender and so not hardy in our northern winters. Apologies for the scrappy post today, will try harder on Monday!
