It will be 40,320 minutes, or 672 hours, or 28 days, or 4 weeks until I turn the key in the door to the studio which will be our home for nine glorious days in CVO. Having been over mainly in May / June and at New Year I am preparing myself for the town to be busier than I have ever experienced. Jostling for space on the beaches, waiting for a table at our favourite restuarant and queuing for a beer at the various bars. Am I worried? Not at all - it will al be worth it for my annual CVO "hit". Plus, whilst I appreciate things can get too busy, I do like a bit of activity and atmosphere. Plus, we haven't experienced the full intensity of the heat in late July / August so happy days !

Love your anticipation and enthusiasm Lamby! Hope you have a great time. Can't wait to get back there myself but it will be a while yet. I share your affection for Carvoeiro.

Aye very good!!! You on a count down to arrive.........unfortunately we on countdown to go home LOL. Been a great 10 days that were unplanned until fairly last minute. Weather been great, cannae wait until big family visit in August!
