Before the Storm
The weather here in our little part of Portugal has been very kind to us these past few days, N has been out surfing with our friend visiting and I've been able to laze on the beach with my book and sunbathe (I am now beige which looks promising for the rest of the summer).
The weather forecast for the rest of the week look TERRIBLE so whilst I can get some more lovely sunny pictures in here's yesterday in pictures...
The view from our kitchen.
Beautiful Baleal- taken from the island, right hand side you can see the Surf Castle :D
Sunset at the cafe.
One of the many stray dogs (sob) watching our friend take a photo of the sunset.
A friend who brings chocolate is a friend for life.

Project Portugal Continued...
Greetings from Portugal!
No, no I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth, just been busy finding a little routine of happiness here in quaint old Portugal, well whatever can be classed as a routine when you don't have anything to do all day expect pray that there's some sun ;)
N and I are absolutely settled and loving our new life in Portugal, days are filled with good food, adventures in our pirate mobile and evenings watching True Blood which is totally addictive and keeps us up until sometimes 3-4am. It's so nice for the moment not stressing about getting up for work at 6am, rushing to catch the commuter train or sitting on the stuffy tube getting elbowed in the face by bankers.
Right now we have our first guest at our little home, a friend from work has come out to stay and surf for a few days, rumour has it too that he loves a cocktail or two (actually not a rumour I'm in bed with a sore head after mojitos last night)
More lovely photos from the past few weeks...
Rock Face
Beautiful houses in our village
Hiding from the wind in a sand dune.

I have a secret and I'm RUBBISH at keeping them. Normally I would spill my guts out before this post is over but this is a biggie and sadly it has to stay that way for a little while longer **rahhhh I wanna tell :(** hopefully I'll be able to spill soon as it's HUGE!

Friends
This week I've found myself longing for the days when social networking was more about coffee mornings then checking tweet updates. When did friends become a numbers game and less about quality time spent with real people who care about you?
Most importantly though I'm wondering why I'm so sensitive to the loss of a few Facebook friends, if these past 8 months have taught me anything (which they have) it's that I have a number of people who I can call my close friends so the loss of a few morons shouldn't make me cold, should it?
These friends are the few who took me in when I was homeless, listened to me cry, wail, sob and then took me out for cocktails to cheer me up. Checked in on me from the other side of the world and most importantly the ones who didn't take sides, who didn't want to hear all the nasty details and just wanted to know that I was ok.
In times of crisis you know who these people are, hold on to them and make sure that when they need you, you're there to return the favour.
Good friends are hard to find :)

MY Polaroid Wall
Ever since N bought me a Fuji Instax 210 for Christmas it's pretty much been everywhere with me. Social events, work, holidays, it's been an instant hit with everyone too, complete strangers would stop and ask me where I got it, there's something so magical about instant film I've always loved it and feel so lucky that N knows me well enough to buy me one.
So after creating a massive pile of prints and lusting after every polaroid wall on the net I created my own after a few days of arriving in Portugal. We found a large enough canvas for the heart shape and I set about creating...
What do you think?

Project Portugal
Good Morning!
I'm eating my breakfast, sun on my back and feeling ever so slightly groggy but in a "I'm so happy I don't have to work" way, why? because I'm in Portugal.
Not just on a 2 week holiday I'm living the Portuguese lifestyle for another 5 months- WIN.
I wanted to have an adventure this year, make new friends, meet interesting people so I gave up everything to come here with my boyfriend and start a new chapter together on the basis that life is simple.
So far in pictures things have gone like this...
Exciting times, lots of pictures and time to blog and pick up a few new followers I hope.
Big Love x
