Paradise On Our Peninsula.

 I was sweating like I don't know what on the island wearing a boiler suit, safety glasses, gloves, helmetand steel toe capped boots on Friday.  I have been covering for work colleagues who have been on holiday. 

Meanwhile back at the ranch or down at the beach which is ten mins walk from our small holding or 5 mins drive by car.

Wifey and number two son took the dogs for a swim:


Here's  Rosie and Hungry Hill in the background.  We are going to the Algarve in the Autumn again.  This week I think the Algarve visited us.   The Irish Riviera is a nice place to live  when the sun shines.

  10. Yes we have Debby. It's very inexpensive to visit Portugal with cheap flights and accommodation for just two people. It's also incredibly inexpensive for food, drink and lots of sunshine.
