At the end of our last post we were still at Salgados overlooking Nazaré. So we will start there too… House sitting for two laid-back cats is a delightful experience. The atmosphere was calm, with the occasional purring creating a soothing backdrop. Mornings consisted of them getting fed with their automated feeders and getting aContinue reading “Christmas HouseSitting”

On our travels again!
So, we were in a period where the house is progressing nicely (inside) and that meant we had some time free to do some more house sits. Some of the sits had been organised some time ago, but quite a few cropped up just recently. These were conveniently close to the house build so weContinue reading “On our travels again!”

We finished off the weekend meeting some new friends, having been invited to a BBQ andContinue reading “Third week of July house update”

It wasn’t all about the house this week though, as we enjoyed some down time catching up with friends and meeting some new ones too. We startedContinue reading “House-build continues, catching up with friends too.”
Another quiet week in Portugal
Only a short one this week, but some interesting stuff. We spent the weekend with our new friends in Nazerè. We had one night on our own with the pets while they went off to the small village house they are selling near Castelo Branco to do some chores and meet up with some friendsContinue reading “Another quiet week in Portugal”
