Faro

Wednesday 10th August 

We landed late last night 
An uneventful flight 
Faro is a delight 
The sun is shining bright 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Leaving Newquay
Over the Cornish Coast
Forest fires East of Lisbon
Morning coffee
Finding shade
Remains of a Moorish Wall in the old city
Storks build massive nests atop buildings
Bell Tower of a medieval church; Igreja de Santa Maria
The Arco da Vila
A cold beer in a rooftop bar
Views looking forward to the Marina
The Marina
Rooftop pool
Looking West
A splendid mosaic cobbled street
Walking around the marina
Becoming very warm
Many boats tied up
Aeroplanes coming in to land across the sea
The rooftop bar where we were
Seeking shade
Here’s a good spot

Tuesday 9th August 

It's nearly time 
Lock up and go 
Airport tonight 
Fly to Faro 
We're seeing Luke 
Be fun, I know 
Quick getaway 
Taking it slow 
Calm down and breathe 
In the sun's glow 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

The putting green is looking very dry
An early morning stroll into town
Not too many people about
Porthmeor Central beginning to fill up
Low tide in the harbour
It’s very warm

A breakfast beer 
Oh dear, oh dear! 
That's how he rolls 
Quite simple goals! 
We said goodbyes 
Away he flies! 
Edinburgh bound 
Festival sound! 

Love you both so much

Sunday 7th August 

Has been so good to see my brother 
A quick visit from Chicago 
He's been out and about hiking 
On the coast path, taking it slow 
Beautiful Cornish scenery 
It'll be sad to see him go 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons

Out for dinner a couple of night’s ago
Followed by cocktails on the harbour front
Early evening drinks, at Porthmeor West
Still very warm
Sister-in-law and brother
Self, Catherine, Kingsley, Debbie, Mollie, Gary
Me, sister-in-law, brother, sister, niece, husband
Lengthening shadows
Down the steps to a perfect spot
Saying toodle ooo
And off they go, across the top of Porthmeor, (which is still very busy at 7:30pm this evening).

Saturday 6th August 

A lovely day 
For a barbecue 
Family together 
A great thing to do 
In sister's garden 
With the sky so blue 
We'll just make sure 
It's all cooked through! 

Love you both so much

The Tinners Arms at Zennor 
A fabulous place for lunch
Brother and wife hiked the coast path 
A few miles they did crunch 
My sister joined them too 
Quite an energetic bunch

The Tinners Arms, Zennor
Pretty outdoor seating areas
Brother and sister-in-law, and sister in the background, ready for their walk back along the coast path
Myself, sister-in-law, husband, sister and brother

Great views across the fields to the sea
Parched landscape
Looking towards St Ives Bay

A long and foggy drive 
Just finished unloading 
My brother did arrive 
Flown over from Chicago

Tuesday 2nd August 

Beside the River Frome 
For an afternoon stroll
Along the Redcliffe Towpath 
Certainly good for the soul 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons 
xxxxx
A little cloudy today
Motorboats and yachts along the river
Misty on the hills towards Swanage
The Old Granary
The Redcliffe Towpath
The towpath dates back to the 13th century
Grounds of the Priory
Bridge over the River Frome
Wareham flowers
A pretty display
