Friday 21st August 

Tavira meandering 
On dusty cobbles worn  
Where rivers flow 
And sun ignites the morn  
At one with the moment 
The sunshine, the breeze
Lost in the wonder 
The spirit finds its ease 

Love you so much

Thursday 20th August 

And we're back in Tavira 
Where the sun spills bright   
With laughter wrapped round 
In the warmest light 
The sea whispers secrets 
As waves kiss the shore 
In this golden embrace 
The heart longs for more 

Love you so much

Wednesday 19th August 

Cobbles worn 
By countless feet 
Whisper secrets 
In summer heat 

Distant chimes 
Begin to sound 
As holy echoes 
Circle around 

Cathedral bells 
A melody clear 
Dispelling worries 
Calming fear 

Love you so much

#Faro Portugal 
#Cathedral 

Tuesday 18th August 

Each weathered wall 
A testament to years 
Witnessing laughter 
Joys and silent tears 

Each paint-peeled door 
A hidden tale 
Concealing a gentle 
Melancholic wail 

Lives that bloomed 
And faded slow 
Memories made 
That ebb and flow 

Love you so much

#Faro

Monday 17th August 

A salty breeze 
Swoops and weaves 
Through rustling palms 
And ancient eaves 

A gentle hum  
A kind embrace 
Here upon 
This sunlit place 

Scent of brine 
A subtle note 
Carried along 
A distant boat 

Mixed with flowers 
Fresh and sweet 
A fragrance that 
Cannot be beat 

Love you so much

#Praia de Faro 

Sunday 16th August 

Faro for a few days 
Overlooking the marina 
People watching 
Plane spotting 
A marvellous arena 

Love you so much

Saturday 15th August 

Small plates arrive 
A montage of taste 
Each bite a whisper 
Nothing laid to waste 

Olives like jewels 
Salad bright and bold 
A simple feast 
A story to unfold 

The sun dips low 
A smudge on the sky 
Painting the clouds 
With colours they fly 

Tapas grazing 
A symphony of delights 
And simple ways 
Filling darkening nights 

Love you so much

Friday 14th August 

Forty four years 
A journey long and true 
Through sunlit mornings 
And skies of deepest blue 
From young affection 
To a love so wise 
Reflected now 
In these contented eyes 

Love you so much

Thursday 13th August 

A wonderful sky 
Of perfect blue 
Algarve dreams 
Unfold anew 
A vista stretched 
With vibrant scene 
Where golden sands 
And ocean convene 

Love you so much

Wednesday 12th August 

Tavira to Quarteira 
A journey unfolds 
Whispers of daylight 
With shadows of gold 
The sun dips low 
A fiery sphere 
The magical eclipse 
As twilight draws near 

Love you so much
