Friday 4th September 

It was fun 
The joy we had 
Places uncharted 
Hearts felt glad 

And now unpacking 
This regular regime 
Those moments captured 
A vibrant dream 

Until the next one 
Beckons near 
Keep these memories 
Held so dear 

A time of rest 
A time of play 
That chased the 
Weary blues away 

Love you so much

Thursday 3rd September 

An early morning flight 
Before the crack of dawn 
The end of our holiday 
Where has the time gone? 

Love you so much

Faro to Newquay to Home

Wednesday 2nd September 

Summer holiday 
Sunshine bright 
A tapestry 
Of pure delight 
So fortunate 
A precious gift 
To feel this joy 
Our spirits lift 
Memories etched 
A lasting hue 
Sunlit days 
Forever true 
A yearning heart 
It longs to stay 
And chase the fading 
Light of day 
Time, it marches 
Swift and sure 
A rhythm that 
We must endure 
Though the parting 
Brings a pang 
The echoes of 
Our laughter hang 
From Tavira's charm 
Santa Luzia's gleam 
To Faro's tranquil 
Sunlit dream 
A chapter closed 
A tale well spun 
Our summer journey 
Is nearly done 

Love you so much

Tavira - Santa Luzia - Faro

Tuesday 1st September 

Sun lounging
Sea dipping
Shell seeking 
Calm ferrying 
Beach walking
Slow breathing 
Soft smiling 

Love you so much

Ilha de Tavira 
Santa Luzia 

Monday 31st August 

Afternoon 
Mellow hum 
Drowsy moments 
Overcome 
Bask and dream 
Close eyes tight 
In the sun's 
Dazzling light 
Tide recedes 
Distant shore 
Contentment knocks 
On our door 
Simple joy 
Pure and true 
Beneath skies 
Endless blue 

Love you so much

Sunday 30th August 

To Armona
From Olhao 
A ferry ride
That is how
Lunch on the sand 
Beside the sea
Sun shining down
On you and me 

Love you so much

#Ilha Da Armona

Saturday 29th August 

Sitting beside the water 
Waves lapping the wall 
So soporific 
Family is all 

Traditional lunch 
An octopus haul 
Where the locals sit  
A quiet footfall 

Sunlight dances bright 
Laughter does enthrall 
Moments like whispers 
Time doesn't recall 

Love you so much

Friday 28th August 

Where the Guadiana River 
Meets the open sea 
And Spain's horizon 
Is close to me 
There's Vila Real 
A gem quite bold 
A story in ancient 
Stones does unfold 
The far eastern Algarve 
A sun-kissed land 
Where gentle breezes 
Drift across the sand 

Love you so much

Thursday 27th August 

Chill music drifts on air so sweet 
A gentle rhythm, can't be beat
 
Swaying palms, a graceful dance 
In the soft breeze's sweet expanse 

Tropical vibes fill the air 
A magic only found out there 

Rattan chairs, a woven grace 
Inviting us to find our place 

Squishy cushions, soft and deep 
Where tired bodies go to sleep
 
The salt spray mingles with the air 
A perfect haven, beyond compare 

Here, time slows, a gentle flow 
Where true contentment starts to grow 

Love you so much

#Ferry to Ilha de Tavira 

Wednesday 26th August 

Cabanas de Tavira 
Charming place 
Answering nature's 
Gentle chase 
Terracotta tiles 
Rustic hue 
Offering shade 
For our crew 

Sunlight dapples 
Warm and bright 
Weathered wood 
Pleasant sight 
Boardwalk stretches 
Long and free 
Beside rippling 
Azure blue sea 

Love you so much
