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

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…

The week started with my appointment at the IMT (Instituto Da Mobilidade E Transportes) to register my driving licence.
