And ten in Portugal with Michael
Following on from my last Six word Saturday, my feet have just about touched the ground and it’s Michael’s turn for a holiday. Lucky me gets to go too, of course!
Dad is still in Poland, sitting in Uncle Jakub’s garden if it’s sunny, and playing dominos. While I know he’s in good hands, it seems like a good time to escape for a little sunshine of our own. If you’ve seen O is for okropny and the Ojcow Valley you’ll know the weather wasn’t always kind in Poland.
I’ll be sharing more Polish tales on my return but for now it’s back to my postcard collection.
Exactly why I love the Algarve so- it’s pretty as a picture.
I’ll soon be strolling in the riverbank gardens again.
Checking out a few more churches
Especially the azulejos in Igreja da Misericordia
And you know most of my evenings will be spent beside this bridge.
Not hard to see what keeps taking me back, is it? And I haven’t even mentioned the beaches!
I’m catching up with as many of you as I can before I leave tomorrow evening. It’s Mother’s Day isn’t it, so have a good one! I’ll be frantically cooking, ironing and restocking the freezer for our son, but what a lovely present tomorrow evening will bring. Take care, all!
