‘if we are closed?
just ask next door!
our staff will happily open the door for you in the event that the store is closed!!!’
(could life be better than having your shoes cobbled as you have a refreshing beverage?)
sunglass man has the perfect glasses for all
fish, and rice, and olives, and herbs, and the biggest clove of garlic ever
chemistry/biology major raising tuition money in the traditional way
visiting where the knights templar lived, learning their fascinating history
welconing shop
beautiful tiles everywhere, each one a treasure.
relaxing on the balcony at night
the moon looking down
winding down from the day.

‘portugal has a peaceful feel about it.
i sit on the terrace overlooking the vineyard there and i feel cut off from the world.
you need that sort of thing.’

The famous tiles must be a joy to see, and the small shops and businesses that have all but disappeared in the UK.
