I know the value of the pound/euro is going to make Portuguese holidays more expensive but i think if the alternative was a couple of weeks in Carv. or a couple of weeks in Cornwall for example, I know where I would be, and it would not be St Ives(beautiful as it is/was) or Torquay

When it was her turn she said "I spy something beginning with D" So went through them all; door, dog,dresser,etc. When we eventually gave up she t...

First time I have read the newsletter and found it very interesting. I must say that the cruise, and in particular the food looked great. Hows the recovery diet going by the way. :) :) :)

I swear by AccuWeather. Usually very accurate. They forecast excellent weather for the next 15 days. No rain and temperatures in the mid to high 20's, just a bit better than here in Cheshire. Roll on June

Just back from a day in Yorkshire. A blizzard on the M62 over the Pennines and thermometer showed 1 degree---12th April !!!!

Looking forward to June, If only it was next week.

On a different tack, would I be better using the motorway to CVO from Faro or N125

Cigars

I know that as a cigar smoker I should be hung drawn and quartered but I think Portugal is a little less punitive than UK and for heavens sake people ought to be able to make their own judgement on what they can and cannot do with their lives. I am coming to CVO in June and was wondering if there wa...
