So i managed to wear my flip flops on Christmas Day, but my tootsies were a bit nippy.  But what the hell, another fizzy drink helped me on my way.  We had a lovely time, just the 3 of us.  Dave barbecued some divine cumin lamb and peppered steak, and we ate it!


On 30 December 2010 we finally had our top terrace slab poured.  Oh happy day.  We watched in awe and silence as Sergio and his team used three loads of concrete, which is somewhere in the region of 50 tons!  The next morning - early - we ended up in our pyjamas on the slab in the sun.
[By now i really don't care if the neighbours think we're crazy.  These ladies walk around in polyester pinnys all day, come on!]




This ensured a rather celebratory New Year's Eve.  We were going to party with our friends down the coast in Peniche.  Good intentions however not attainable after the 2nd bottle of fizz by 7pm.  We ended up eating chocolate cake [homemade courtesy of Betty Crocker] and dancing around to the wonderful Toots and the Maytals on Jools Holland's Hootenanny.

HAPPY 2011 MY LOVERS x

This blog was born when I left the UK and started a new adventure on the Silver Coast of Portugal. Being settled on the salty shores of the Atlantic is just idyllic; love, sun, sea and smiles, the perfect life for me.
