I have met a few 'celebrities', (Sean Connery, Eddy Merckx, Miguel Indurain, Jon Pertwee, Peter O'Toole, etc..) but I have NEVER met a CELEBTRITY!!

Enjoy the wonderful weather - we'll see you in September!

Oh come on, 'bom meus amigos' - please don't 'have a go' at each other - I'm sure Martin meant well - please take his comments the way I'm sure they were meant; (and in this current financial climate, we all need each others help, surely!) So, 2012 had better be better than 2011 - (for me, that won'...

Thank you, friends - that's GREAT news!

We're delighted about that - so, see you folks at Christmas, perhaps - and in the meantime, carry on enjoying the lovely weather you're having.....!

Geoff: That's dreadful - our hearts go out to you - you really DIDN'T need that....as you've unfortunately found out, there are some bast@@ds about - (also very nice to get some sympathy from the GNR and your car-hire company....!) I WAS going to say, perhaps stick to Intermarche in CVO, but then re...

Many thanks, Gary - (I guess I won't 'hold my breath', then.....!)

Shame....as we always thought 'O Forno de Fraser' was a nice place - but I guess they both deserve some very well-deserved rest!

Thanks again

Nige

Thanks, Widge We've tried the 'new' Indian place three or four times, and I have to say it was very dissappointing - I've been told that it is now closing, and it was suggested to me that Fraser and Lynn were going to re-open - (I would doubt it, somehow, but in my opinion, that would be great news!...

I've 'heard' that 'O Forno de Fraser' is re-opening - is that right, .....or was it just a beautiful dream?! Please advise; we've just had eleven lovely days in Carve - and there's more to follow on Christmas Eve....( my brown girl (in the ring) - whatever THAT means - my other half, Jackie, has alr...

Thank you very much, FMM - I will definately try 'Izi'... And thank you to you too, Sharen.... So, now I think I know rather too much about C & A! - but I do remember it was always good for reasonably-priced ski clothing...but that was a long time ago...! - and Stacey - keep up the good work!! Thank...

Hello, my friends! We are coming over to Carvoeiro again, to our little apartment (near the P.O - next door to the sadly-departed 'O Forno de Fraser'!) for 11 days, arriving Saturday 27 August, around lunchtime, (after our usual visit en-route from the airport to my favourite supermarket of all time...

Aitch - thanks for your advice.... Lulu - thank you VERY much - this sounds good to me - (black Barchetta is good!)...but it's a bit more than I was wanting to spend...considering it's going to spend most of its time, sitting on its wheels in an underground car-park in CVO - (but just think how surp...

Thanks for that... I would be looking to buy a local (i.e a Portugal-registered) Fiat Barchetta, and therefore try to avoid all of the registration nonsense...any help would be appreciated...together with any suggestions as to where I could buy a decent one!! Hoping for your your help, and many than...

Hello, folks I am looking to buy a Fiat Barchetta, a decent one, to be a nice little machine to stay and live with us in Carvoeriro - but I'm afraid I have no experience of buying / registering a car in Portugal. I would be really grateful if anyone who has the knowledge/experience of car purchase/r...

I can personally say that this place is excellent! It's an option of sitting in, (just a few tables, but every time I've been there, everyone seems to be having a good time!) or more likely, I guess people go for a 'take-away'... We have eaten their excellent fare on many occasions - you simply call...

Wow! - thank you for the kind welcome - it just makes me want to come out to CVO RIGHT NOW! The weather here in the IOM is VERY chilly! Never mind, it won't be long, I guess;........ but not soon enough ! I'm glad things are moving on re, the 'IMAGINE' jewelery robbery (perhaps I shouldn't say it, b...

Hello, my friends - whilst I am not really new to 'the Forum' (i.e. I have been reading the various postings for several months), I finally decided I should 'sign-up!' So, I am delighted to 'make your acqaintances', and look forward to your further comments..... Just for the record, my lady and I ha...
