Just a few days ago I returned from a magical holiday in Portugal.
I will be writing more about my travels over the coming days, as well as my
latest book reads, but, for now, let me share an overview with you.
My mum is not getting any younger, so it is a priority for me to
spend more time with her. I therefore made arrangements to spend a whole
month of holidays with her. During my stay we were fortunate enough to receive
visits from long standing close friends.
We followed simple, nice and relaxed programmes. Long days spent
at the beach with a homemade picnic
Visited the 86th Lisbon Book Fair “Feira do Livro”
Enjoyed the full month of popular festivities celebrating the
people's saints, “Festa dos Santos Populares”
Dining out at our favourite “Tascas”, typical Portuguese
restaurants, which are very simple and cheap with exquisite food.
Shopping: we got lovely swimming costumes and I bought a couple of
things for sweetheart.
We also celebrated mum's birthday. A delicious cake from the
pastry shop El Corte Inglés could not be missed.
...And lots of laughter and conversation throughout! All in all, I
was happy to be with those I love and I feel grateful for everything.
I wish you all a great week!!
Uma bela reportagem fotográfica que gostei de ver.
