It's been great weather the last few days her on the Isle of Mull over on the west coast! Last August when I was back in Caramujeira the temperature got up to 48 degrees. Apparently it was the hottest summer for 30 years and it was absolutely vile, you just couldn't do anything. You'd think that aft...

Mistral is still there but the tree isn't. It went a few years ago after it got infected with the virus going around that's killing off the palm trees. All that's left is the trunk.

Make sure you slap loads of sun cream on, not a hint of shade in sight!!!!

Lucas at Vitor Picardo in Lagoa. He did my hair for the 10 years that I lived there.

Unfortunate name!!!

Congratulations. My husband brought you back from the restaurant in his taxi & texted me to let me know!! I'd previously told him about your plans. Glad it all went well.

O Lotus in Lagoa is your best bet near to Carvoeiro. It's in Lagoa opposite the petrol station. Brilliant Portuguese food.

Get onto the EN125 headed for Portimao and then follow the signs for Slide & Splash. Pao de Acucar is on the same road at the first roundabout.

I think it all sounds wonderful & she's going to have a brilliant day, as are you. Please let us know what happened once you're back. Have a great time & good luck.

I just spoke to customer services at Easyjet regarding a query I had with filling out the details. He apologised and informed me that these details are not needed for Portugal. When I told him that a big message had come up on my booking telling me that if I didn't give the information I would not b...

So so glad I read this post! I've booked a one way ticket back to England on 5th August for me & my son so I checked my booking today & it's asking for this info. No e-mail from them or anything. One question, 'cos I'm stressing that I've answered it wrong, it asks for the issuing office & gives you...

Good luck in finding a quiet part of the beach, they're heaving at the moment & soon the Lisbon dwellers will be here! I'd go for the restaurant.

I like the bears, they cheer up an otherwise dull & charmless square. They're going to Monchique next, then Portimao, then Fatacil.

No problem. Have a good holiday, it's hot at the moment, 34 degrees this afternoon.
