After having a break from blogging I decided it was about time to fill you in on what's been going on in the magic valley.
So spring seems to have sprung. On cue our neighbours have started preparing their land for this year's crops, and green shoots are appearing everywhere. This has spurred us into action too. After having one of the worst storms in recent history, the first task has been to clear wind-strewn rubbish from the garden. I won't bore you with details, but our neighbour seems to have a large collection of corrugated iron [?] which my Dave carefully threw back onto her heap!
It looks idyllic. I've just joined up so gathering as much insight as possible. May I ask how many years you & Dave have been settled in Portugal?. I read an article recently from a young expat who settled there at first gushing about all the positives & the after 6 years returned to the UK (lived in Lisbon) & one of the main reasons she gave (there were a few, family etc) was that the houses are generally very poorly insulated so very hot in summer & VERY cold in winter. Would you mind letting me know what you think, when you get a spare minute or too. I lived in Australia for 18 years so I appreciate "things" are not the same as the UK which of course is usually the appeal fro most people. Stay safe, happy & positive
