I really enjoy travel based stories, such as 'A year in Provence' and 'Driving over Lemons' but this one even more so due to a few connections. My other half of 26 years is Portuguese, we regularly holiday in Portimao and go up into the mountains to Foia. My son this year might also go to Manchester University to study History and Portuguese, the place where we studied and played rugby 30 years ago! JT

Thank you for the timely reminder why I am so happy we sold our house in the US and no longer have to deal with yardwork!

Portuguese living in the US (at least for now). Delighted to accidentally have found your substack and follow along.

Love this!!!!!!!!! Fascinating, lively, relatable, helpful, historical, personable, useful. Another one -- down the road -- to share with Portugal Living Magazine?

Saw the wheel Al, and chuckled. I remember wondering what the noise was when driving my horse to a meet on Salisbury Plain some years ago. I think rueful was the word when contemplating the ruined jockey wheel!
