Monday 16th October 

An excursion through the town 
A journey to explore 
Riding on a tourist train
So much to see and more 

Narrow streets and alleyways Secrets to remain untold 
Salt marshes, old churches 
Historic sights to behold 

The Roman Bridge stands 
A relic from the past 
A municipal market 
Range of produce, vast 

So much history whispers 
In each ancient stone 
Here in Tavira town 
Stories are well known 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 15th October 

Sunday morning 
Perambulations 
Around and about 
Many locations 
Climbing castle grounds 
Then cold libations 
By the waterway 
Midday temptations 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Saturday 14th October 

Gary's birthday lunch 
Off we go to Spain 
Lovely lunch and drinks 
We'll have to do it again!

Friday 13th October 

Cloudy skies above 
Though muggy and warm 
Lazily strolling 
Chance to transform 
Stopping for coffee 
At a pleasant café 
There's pavement seating 
Passing the time of day
Then by the poolside 
Dozing a while 
Slow and gentle 
Brings an easy smile 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons

Thursday 12th October 

Another day at the beach 
A tranquil retreat 
Quiet and peaceful 
Where heart and soul meet 
To recharge the spirit 
In the sun's warm embrace 
Relaxing and calm 
In this serene, sandy space 
Sparkling waves dance 
A soothing song they play 
No worries, no hurries 
In this perfect getaway 
Troubling thoughts melt 
As the tides gently sway 
Everyday problems 
Left behind in the spray 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Wednesday 11th October 

Tavira Island 
A ferry ride away 
Lazing on sun loungers 
Watching the world at play 
Beneath blue skies 
And the sun's warm embrace 
Tumbling ocean waves 
Such a beautiful place 

Gentle guitar music 
Wafts along the breeze 
And shaded under a canopy 
Where all worries are eased 
A perfect, peaceful day 
By the sea's gentle swell 
In this haven of serenity 
Where worries do not dwell 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 10th October 

Santa Luzia wandering 
Along the water side 
Sparkling waters shimmer 
On an incoming tide 
Bobbing boats dance 
To the sun's radiant song 
In this picturesque moment 
Where our hearts belong 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 9th October 

Walking, wandering, strolling 
In the sunshine's embrace 
By the Old Roman Bridge 
In this gorgeous, serene place 
Lunch beside the river 
Where memories accrue 
A glass of wine, or two 
With a view that'll outdo  
In the warmth of Portugal 
Where moments unfold 
Letting life's simple pleasures 
Grow as precious as gold 

Love you so much 
Treasured sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 8th October 

It's time again 
And off we go 
Flying away 
To sunny Faro

Saturday 7th October 

Aeroplanes 
Leaving trails across the sky 
Sending kisses 
And good wishes up so high 
Flying away 
Perhaps on holiday's delight 
Chasing dreams 
In the day or tranquil night 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
