Thursday 24th August 

Cast away doubt 
Let go of the frown 
Onwards and upwards 
No looking down 
Better days await 
Like rays of sun 
Embracing the path 
The battles won 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 23rd 

As the sun climbs 
With golden blaze 
Seeking the warmth 
In its resplendent rays 
Under those blue skies 
With warm skin aglow 
The sunshine smiles 
On the flowers that grow 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 22nd August 

Early morning start 
Flying home today 
High above the clouds 
And the Bay of Biscay 

The garden needs a tidy 
There's washing to be done 
The holiday is over 
But there'll be another one 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Monday 21st August 

Tavira this morning 
Santa Luzia in the afternoon 
Faro later on 
We'll be home soon 
Flying tomorrow 
Over salt marsh lagoon 
But we'll be back 
Singing a holiday tune 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Sunday 20th August 

Beach again 
Perfect spot 
Sun loungers 
It's quite hot 
In the sea 
Sailing yacht 
Cooling down 
Like as not 
Use sunscreen 
Takes a lot 
Can't just say 
I forgot 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 19th August 

Around Tavira
Walking this morning
Then to Olhão 
In the early evening 
Sudden power cuts
Down the street
Restaurants closed 
Nothing to eat 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 18th August 

Beside the pool 
All is cool 
Blue skies rule 
Sparkling jewel 

Love you so much

Thursday 17th August 

Another beach day 
Blue skies overhead 
Refreshing ocean swim 
Over the sand we tread 
Sun hats and spf 
Shaded sun lounger bed 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 16th August 

A trip on a ferry 
Reaching the Atlantic side 
To Ilha de Tavira 
The beach stretches far and wide 
Beneath a shady canopy 
Watching the incoming tide 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 15th August 

Castelo de Tavira 
Before it became too hot 
Up and down the battlements 
Far-reaching views from the top 
Algarvian octopus for lunch 
Now that really hit the spot 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
