No zumba for me this week

Wouldn’t you know that it’s a perfect English morning (at last!) and my normal Saturday morning walk down through the park to zumba would be a delight?  Instead I’m going to take you on an uphill walk which is the cause of my incapacity.  Then I might sit in the garden with a book- a novelty in itself! (and ignore the pile of ironing just a bit longer)

The Algarve countryside is stunning at this time of year

Even the weeds are a delight

And there are always surprises!

The thistles are everywhere!

These cloches cover courgettes (was the consensus of opinion) at

There’s always a charming cottage or two

Sometimes with a curious inhabitant (Bom Dia!)

This shy little fellow’s mum is close by

Then we start to climb higher

There are amazing plants in the few gardens this high up

Always a goat or two in the shade

The masthead at the very top is far from pretty

And this was the final view

Unfortunately I wasn’t wearing the right kind of footwear, and as we scrambled back down again I could feel the damage to my toes.  It was the “quick route” down as everyone was starved and we were heading for a very nice restaurant as a reward for our efforts.

I struggle to get a shoe on and have been wearing flipflops ever since.  Still, I did enjoy the walk, and the company.  Hope you did too?  Don’t forget to visit Cate at Show My Face to see what’s been happening to everyone this week.  My Six word Saturdays are all on the button below.
