Chilling out under the olive trees for a couple of days. It is boiling today. Saddlebag 25c and we are getting burnt. Gary has a good exchange book and DVD library and loads of home made pickles and chutneys for sale. We are trying not to buy anything other than the national fodder on this trip, but once we heard it was all made by the Portuguese neighbour that cleared the way for an order. Sweet cucumber pickle, Mediterranean relish and orange marmalade.
Great walks all around through cork tree farms and amongst scenery reminiscent of visits to Derbyshire, with stone walls marking out fields and perimeters.
We decided to have lunch out and walked up the hill to the small town. Because of the temperature we took the dogs and arrived at gary's recommended restaurant. Unfortunately their garden was almost totally out of the sun and therefore cold. The very kind waitress agreed to lay up a table outside, but we didn't want to be cold, and billy no mates, so left. The other 3 bars in town didn't do food. Cursing the dogs we returned to Wishstream for actually a delicious lunch and sleep in the sun. Gary invited us to the Burial of the Sardine evening which we declined as the b............dogs would probably bark the place down if left. WHO WANTS SOME DOGS!!
