Football, festivals and friends

Posted on 5 June 20235 June 2023 by Marc

The Portuguese love their football (as do I).  They are passionate and fanatical. And their celebrations are loud!  There are predominantly three (big) teams in Portugal, and a fourth not too far behind.  Benfica Lisbon, Sporting Lisbon, FC Porto, and Braga. In the village I live, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon are the most supported.  Probably…

No need to send out a Mayday call!

Clear blue sky, sun and great weather. It’s time for a Bud…

Posted on 19 March 202319 March 2023 by Marc

For those people who think moving to Portugal is just one big jolly, I’ve news for you.  It’s not.  It’s blooming hard work! I guess I could’ve taken the easy option and just headed off to the beach as opposed to buying a small quinta, but that would be no fun.  Maybe a little less…

Spring is blossoming

Posted on 13 March 202313 March 2023 by Marc

The last couple of weeks has consisted of lazing around, enjoying the sunshine and trying to find jobs to do.  I’m getting used to this relaxed, simple life in Portugal.  At times I really do have to pinch myself. OK, that pinch has woken me up.  It’s not all a dream.  But some of it…
