Back from travels
So sorry I have not had time to keep friends and acquaintances up to speed with my two months over in Portugal and Spain - travelling in a camper. It was great - spring, summer and winter all rolled into one. Needless to say, I did not miss the gales and rain while I was away although there was some peculiar out-of-season weather over there from time to time! The highlights were the wild beaches in south-west Portugal; the pilgrimages and horses in El Rocio and the lively town of Puerto de Santa Maria and Cadiz in Spain. The tapas in Jerez at El Gallo Azul and the Tio Pepe visit and sherry-drinking mice ...... what a treat!
Great to arrive in Lisbon just as the Lisbon - Dakaar rally took off - what an event! Wonderful food and great value and, of course, the wine tasting was memorable. Took hundreds of photos - hope to post some up now and then.
Now it's back to work with tours already accomplished and more on the way. Organising them takes up time too. Suddenly it's spring in the last few days and the wonderful long days are starting. Birds are getting busy with nesting and the recent sunny days have helped their song to burst forth. There are still siskins nibbling at the nuts, however, at my kitchen window.
