I have recently returned form a visit to my daughter and family in the USA and you know how it is - you return home but you miss those left behind. Yesterday I was feeling a bit sorry for myself so I took myself in hand and decided to go and look for a new walk which I promptly did. The sun was shining, the sea was blue and while I walked along the beach which was virtually empty I thought about all those people who dismiss the Algarve for being too spoilt. Just look at the photos which I have taken - fabulous! At this time of the year the whole countryside is awash with the blossom of the almond trees which lend a softness to the countryside.
I managed to put together an absolutley great walk from Ferragudo which we will offer in March and after the walk a beer and sandwich in the square was just the perfect end to a perfect morning. And as for those blues? Gone! I realised it is just important to appreciate what you have and where you are; I love my life and would not change it for the world.
