Making a house a home, and our first visitors!

Wow! It seems like such a long time has passed since our last post. So buckle up, here we go again… Friends… So now we have been in for a few weeks, what’s been happening? Quite a lot actually.

We’ve split up!

In somewhat of a plot twist, this week we have split up. So a bit of background… The last time we met up with our friends Kirsty and David, they asked if we could sit for the boys again (Sonny & Cooper, the golden retrievers). We said sure!

So this is playing catch-up a bit, butContinue reading “Albufeira in April – Week 3/4”

Visiting a Roman town and the non- waterfall

Another nice days weather and we had managed to break the back of clearing our land again. The three months worth of neglect while we were in the UK, had let Mother Nature get back at us! The amount of growth is what surprised us the most. We thought we would get most of theContinue reading “Visiting a Roman town and the non- waterfall”
