Thanks

Just came across this post. Although Ellie had told me about this I'd forgotten. I've been keeping really busy, especially with orders that come in everyday...but I digress. I'd be more than happy to help. I'm thinking of Salema - towards Sagres - and there are so many "off the beaten track" places ...

This is the weirdest winter I ever experienced...Perhaps once it starts raining it'll go on for a whole month. Hoping... :roll:

:shock: This is getting more and more interesting. In my village this way of living is virtually non-existant but the past is still alive (and well?) in the Algarve.

Thanks Steen.

Thanks for that link. It was great to read people's reactions to the book. I have them at my bookshop and hopefully I'll sell them all. This book is great, it deserves to be read! It would be nice if this book was ever translated into Portuguese. I think it's precious that people from my generation ...

The Algarve back then...

Today I began to read Jenny Grainer's book "Portugal and the Algarve now and then" and I was fascinated from the first page! Sure, I had heard stories from my parents of how things used to be, how small this or that village was, how precarious houses were, but it's totally different to read it in th...

I'll be watching this post carefully...I had an addiction to those friji milkshakes when I was in the UK. I've been sitting here thinking of what to eat (hungry) and I just know now that I'd love Friji...(not that it agrees with me, but it's tasty),

Good luck in your quest. :)

I stopped receiving e-mail alerts and I'd assumed no one else had posted but just got e-mail from Ellie and came to have a look. Sheriff you are TOTALLY in the right track and if you pay attention to what Ellie wrote about me I think you'll get there. :roll: :wink: But you have to look behind the sc...

Whoever gets the name right gets a free book :lol: :lol: :lol: Can you tell me will you have any books in the German language or is it to be only English books? Is it possible to get a bus to Alvor from Carvoeiro? From Carvoeiro you can get buses to Portimao but to my knowledge you'd have to get ano...
