About Me

We moved out to Portugal to live a frugal but better , simpler and peaceful life, our house is a very basic, semi ruin, up in the hills outside Figueiro Dos Vinhos, where we work our land, enjoy life with each other and our dogs, and hope to make the smallest carbon footprint we can,

Off to Ireland

Well Im off to Ireland on Saturday, for how long I dont know, depends on dads health. At the moment he's in hospital so its anyones guess.
My lovely uncles are all arranging this for me, paying for flights, picking me up from airports in UK and then organising the next leg of the trip the following day, all without me paying a penny... aren't families wonderful when you need them most... considering Ive not seen them for years... I feel very blessed.
Im really sad to be leaving our beautiful new baby, she truley is gorgeous, Bonnie is just perking up now, they were playing in the garden last night for the first time, it was a joy to see her so happy again. It will get better as Beeza get bigger... and bigger.. at the moment Bonnie gets a little exuberant...
Although she's a cross, she's a typical Rafeiro in looks, she looks as if she could be pure even though we know she isnt.
