Leftover images from our holiday in The Algarve, Portugal. Above - at the entrance to the castle in Silves. There have been fortifications on this site for two thousand years. What we see today is one of the best preserved Moorish castles on the Iberian peninsula.
From the castle walls my camera zoomed down upon a stork's nest. The young look ready to fly.
On Thursday May 16th we visited Praia da Marinha - just a ten minute drive from our villa. Ian's girlfriend Sarah found a shady spot by the limestone cliff with Zachary in her arms...
Because of the two babies we did not stay long on the beach. It has beautiful golden sands and is considered to be one of the top ten beaches in Europe. We were there for no more than an hour but Ian and I both went swimming in the pristine waters. Quite chilly to be honest.
Back at the villa, Ian took a well-deserved rest in the "Fatboy" hammock. Down in London, he continues to work so hard on all things "BOSH!".
In the villa there were many interesting objects and artefacts including this brass Buddha head from Burma...
And this massive shell atop a cupboard - probably from The Pacific Ocean...
On one of the days went into the nearby resort of Carvoeiro, I spotted this signage not far from the beach...
And finally here's Baby Margot having forty winks...
