New Year's Day was a scorcher in Nadadouro, i think we may have reached 18°. With the temperatures improving I've decided that more exercise is needed for us Lemms! God i hate exercise! So a leisurely stroll along the Lagoa was just up our street, and you know what, it was lovely. The beach was empty but the prom was packed.
The portuguese take their promenade very seriously. All the women are in their sunday best which amazingly includes the highest, tartiest boots you could ever imagine. They don't just stand still being gorgeous in them, no, they actually stroll for miles on the cobbled pavements! My feet ached just looking at them. In the UK we would expect the majority of walkers to have dogs, but i can't remember seeing one! They must have left them tied up at home i suppose.
We enjoyed our first barbecue of the year, another divine cumin lamb [our favourite] and i watched one of my pressies on the box, a fabulous dvd based on the life of Julia Child, 60s american tv chef. I feel inspired to get in the kitchen and create lovely, yummy things. Shame i don't have a kitchen yet, but you know we're working on that one!
We have been having the most amazing skies for the last couple of days. Burning sunsets with lilac clouds, absolutely stunning x
