Wednesday 15th April 

Beach daze 
Sun's rays 
Sea waves 
Sky haze 
Sunbed laze 
Happy days 
Holidays 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 14th April 

To Olhão's shore 
Where waters shine 
A lunchtime stop 
A pleasant wine  

Then to the garage 
A quick request 
Is Luke's car ready?
Put to the test

But words arrive 
A gentle sigh 
No, there are problems 
Not sure why 

The mechanic explains 
Trouble at play 
Dreams of smooth journeys 
Seem to drift away 

A moment's pause 
A small delay 
We'll find a way 
On another day 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 13th April 

Morning ramblings 
As the world awakes 
With laughter mingling 
Each moment breaks 
Footsteps on cobblestones 
As stories unfold 
The warmth of the sun 
Has a gentle hold 
No heavy clock 
To mark the passing day 
This time is ours 
Oblivious as it slips away 

Tavira Portugal 

Love you so much

Sunday 12th April 

Gliding through dunes 
A gentle sway 
The windy gusts 
Now fade away 
We find a nook 
A sheltered space 
The beach awaits 
With calming grace 

Praia do Barril

Love you so much

Saturday 11th April 

Chilled beach bar vibes
Parasols and comfy chairs
Lounging for a few hours 
Gone are all the cares 

There's no rush to be 
There's no need to strive 
Just breathing deeply 
And feeling quite alive 

The warm, salty breeze 
Touches with soft embrace 
As time slows gently 
Its hurried, anxious pace 

Ilha de Tavira

Friday 10th April 

In Santa Luzia 
Where tides softly sway 
An octopus dances 
In waters at play 
With arms like ribbons 
It glides through the blue
A feast of the sea 
In a world fresh and new 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 9th April 

The river flows 
With whispered sighs 
Beneath the weight 
Of burdened skies 
The golden light 
Is muffled in grey
As shadows stretch 
Swallowing up the day 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 8th April 

Wandering around Faro marina 
In the bright sunshine 
Taking in the colours so vivid 
Boats bobbing on the brine 
Rippling water reflects the sky 
Where trains rumble on rusty tracks 
Planes soar high with a roar 
Now there’s nothing that lacks

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 7th April 

On a day where clouds 
Wrap the sky in grey 
Raindrops dance 
Where children play 

Bright shop-fronts beckon 
With colours so bold 
Laughter weaves stories 
Both new and old 

In cozy cafés 
Warm scent of a brew 
Inviting the crowds 
To seek shelter anew 

Huddling together 
With tales to impart 
Bonding in moments 
Warming every heart 

Love you so much 
Beloved sons 
Treasured Mum

Monday 6th April 

Santa Luzia 
For morning coffee 
It's not so sunny 
Sky's wishy washy 

Back in Tavira 
Tasty almond tart 
It's still quite warm 
Clouds drifting apart 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
