Six word Saturday

Bedazzled by butterflies in Vila Real

Strolling one Sunday through the riverside market in Vila Real de S. Antonio, I was so distracted by butterflies I almost forgot to make a purchase.  

Superb bit of wall!
Strawberries and cream flavour?

You never know what you’re going to find, do you?  I had a wonderful time in the Algarve, but it’s good to be back with Debbie and six words.  She’s paddling this week.  Go and see!

Wishing you all a great weekend.

  4. Bedazzled by your post…these are wonderful! 😀😀 I love butterflies and what a treat to see giant replica ones…sitting still and not prone to flying away. I’m not surprised you nearly forgot your original task. Was it a temporary exhibition? For any special reason? What are those beautiful red flowers? I’m thinking some kind of confectionery..? Wishing you a lovey Sunday…bet it’s even colder up North! 😀❤️

    1. I never did discover why they were there, Annika. Might just be a generalised attempt to pretty up the riverfront. The confectionery were some kind of ‘healthy’ sugar candy 🙂 It’s bright and cold, yes- might make it to 6C later! There’s a Christmas festival over at the Headland so I expect we’ll muffle up and go. Hope you’re having a good weekend too.

  5. Ahh butterflies match my fluttery mind so I love these. I really like Vila real, went twice, once on my own for the morning, then back again with Lindy for the ferry across to Ayemonte.

    1. It’s a real kind of place, isn’t it, Gilly? I like it too, but we have some Spanish friends who have a terrible 3rd floor flat, just behind the riverfront. Cold/damp/too hot at all the wrong times and the lift hardly ever works (they’re mid-70s and not very mobile). I haven’t caught up with them for ages because they moved to Estepona, but they couldn’t sell the flat. Nice butterflies, though 🙂

      2. Perishing here- 4C! But sunny, so far 🙂 🙂 The Headland Christmas festival is on so we might muffle up warm and go for a look. Fireworks later, if I can persuade Mick to stay that long. Hugs, sweetheart!

    1. So was I, Jude, but too lazy to find out. 🙂 🙂 Possibly just the local council prettying up the riverside walk/new marketing strategy. Vila Real is a place with a lot of potential but it’s a bit of a hodge podge.

    1. Sorry about the rain. 😦 We had a couple of days of that but it’s bright blue and frosty here in the north east at the moment. Fine so long as you wrap up warm. 🙂 🙂

      1. Definitely easier to photograph. Weekend has started off well, thank you. I tried to photograph some bees in my garden; they are as hard to capture as butterflies. I failed. 😀

    1. A couple of breakfast bowls for a few cents, Mabel. I always spend more time looking than buying- the stallholders worst nightmare. 🙂 🙂 I’m off to t’ai chi shortly. Crisp white frost out there! Thanks, and you too!
