An escape from all the madness
So many images I’ve yet to share with you from my April trip to Tavira! I’m returning, for another week, on Wednesday. Beautiful though Britain is, I can’t pretend it won’t be a relief to escape for a little while. Even grey days over there are greeted with a sunny smile and a wave.
It will be hot, so there won’t be much walking, but almost certainly a little toe dabbling, and lazily watching clouds gather on the horizon.
Early mornings and long warm evenings will be the best times, when I can look out on the world at peace, or enjoy a little quiet companionship.
I will still be walking with you on Monday, but I haven’t decided where yet. Then I’ll quietly disappear. Maybe it will all make sense when I return.
Do enjoy your weekend. I’m off to zumba, as soon as I’ve checked in on Cate. Share your six words?

Oh, lucky you having some place to escape to. Pleeeease bring some heat back with you! Love the blue skies, the beaches, the flowers…. I think I may visit the decorator’s shop and buy some paint for the house since the weather doesn’t look to improve over the next week! Now what colours should I go for?

Blue and lemon are happy colours 🙂 That’s mostly our Algarve home. Goes nicely with the white walls. But don’t worry- the second we go the heatwave will arrive. Make the most of it, cos we’re only gone a week. 🙂
