Tuesday 23rd April 

Monte Gordo 
Along the coast 
Miles of beaches 
Better than most 
Many restaurants 
Luncheon to host 
With perfect views 
Happy to boast 

Love you so much 

Monday 22nd April 

A ferry ride away 
To chilled beach vibes 
Azure skies above 
Where the sun thrives 

Sparkling ocean swell  
In the sea's embrace 
Warm in the breeze 
A quiet, special place 

Beneath the canopy 
Seeking relief from the sun
Seashells litter the shore 
Where waves outrun 

Lazy and relaxed 
In the sandy expanse 
At the friendly beach bar 
Under palm trees that dance 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 21st April

A Sunday lunch
Over in Spain
Across the river
Octopus again
Bright sunshine 
Really can't complain 

Love you so much

Saturday 20th April 

Morning market meanderings 
A bustling affair 
Spices, honey, fish, and meat 
Their aroma fills the air 

Fruits, vegetables, handicrafts 
In vibrant array 
Noise, colour, smells 
In the market's display 

A cacophony of activity 
Throughout the busy throng 
As vendors and buyers 
Jostle and mingle along 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 19th April 

Sitting by the beach 
In tranquil peace 
Watching the waves 
Their endless release 

Warm sunshine 
Kissing the sand 
Listening to the tunes 
Nothing is planned 

The train chugs by 
In its own song 
We sit by the sea 
Feeling we belong 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 18th April 

Slow and lazy 
The day drifts by 
Gently meandering 
Beneath blue sky 

Pavement café lunch 
Quite leisurely 
Sunshine's warmth 
Time passes easily 

Ice cream delicious 
With flavours sweet 
Savouring each drop 
A delightful treat 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 17th April 

Happy birthday, Luke  
Thirty-seven today 
Many happy returns 
On this sunny day 
May joy and laughter 
Come your way 
As you celebrate 
Without delay 
Another year 
Blessings to convey 
Here's to you 
Hip, hip, hooray 
Our son, so dear 
Saúde we say! 

Love you so much 
Birthday Boy Luke

Tuesday 16th April 

Sunshine shimmering 
In golden hue 
Heat bearing down 
The sky's clear blue 
Hot breeze ruffling 
The water's flow 
Dusty cobbles 
Where shadows grow 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Monday 15th April 

A change of location 
On to Tavira 
A wide flowing river 
In a pretty area 
Beneath blue skies 
We stroll along 
In the warmth of the sun 
Where we belong 

Love you so much
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 14th April 

Sunshine on hot pavements 
A shimmering heat 
Slow meanderings 
Along dusty concrete 

A walk to the marina 
Where boat mast's sway 
Lunch overlooking the water 
Quite a perfect day 

Motor boats and yachts 
Each vying for a space 
Time spent people watching 
In this picturesque place 

Blue skies above 
With clouds so few 
Shady spot to stop 
And take in the view 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum
