On Land

We arrived in Portugal (Luz near Lagos) a week ago, having left the boat in Carentan for the winter. We will return to her in late March and resume our travels. There are worse places to be grounded - Scruffbag  is in shorts and the days are still quite warm, though fleeces go on once the sun goes down,

The apartment has everything we need and there are some good clifftop walks. The town is quite empty and lots of restaurants and bars are closed but there are enough to suit our needs and we prefer this season as the place is probably full of tourists in summer. We are told that February is beautiful as all the flowers are in bloom. Currently the place seems to have an over- abundance of pensioners, of the Daily Mail reading type but this may just be my inner cynic coming out.
