where life is so normal for zelebs

[martin]

just read in the "news" how in that place called Quinta da largo, where the grass is always so green, and security so good and the homes are so loooxury that zelebs feel at "home" and "normal" being there

and there I was thinking that normal was something different

well judge for yourself

"According to Hermes Alberto, executive director of VigiQuinta, Quinta do Lago’s private security firm, it is the peace and normality found at Quinta do Lago that attracts the world’s elite. It even names some of its streets after former residents, such as legendary Formula One driver Ayerton Senna, who inspired Ayerton Senna Avenue.

“I will never forget one year when Ayerton Senna was staying here he came up to me and said, “Hermes, this is the only place I feel normal”. He was talking about how nice it was to just walk down to the beach and talk to the fishermen about their catch without being hounded”, Hermes Alberto told The Portugal News"

I know what he means I only feel "Normal" when sitting on my patio, drink in hand overlooking the valley with the Monchique mountains as a backdrop. So perhaps we should rename the Odelouca Valley, "Von Vons Valley" [ only joking of course]

As Senna was Brazilian and spoke Portuguese I suppose it's just conceivable that an Algarvian fisherman would enter into conversation with him but I doubt it.

and why not Von Von....sounds good to me

I wouldn't want to be a celeb or famous....shouldn't think you get much peace anywhere?

I recall going to Quinta da Largo when we lived / worked out there but don't remember any celebs? Maybe I was in the wrong part / or unaware........

No the Paparatzi get everywhere just like sand a bit annoying so perhaps I will only be a celeb in my mind
