A sunny little place I know...
The weather outside is... awful.
I know it's the time of year and all that, but somehow that's not reassuring. Not wishing to be a whinger, but when did 'things can only get better' make anyone feel good at the time?
As I often do, I pulled out my Algarve vacation diaries and had a leaf through, in an effort to cheer myself up.
I read about our visit to a lovely little hamlet that goes by the name of Querenca (we went there for the first and only time last August) and was transported back to a beautiful hot day, a smashing cross-country drive from Alte, and an encounter with a nosey goat...
So I thought about writing it up, so I could share the great feeling I'd managed to conjure up...
...sorted out some photos and reminisced about the experience and... hey, presto! Another page for my website.
It's a gorgeous place, and if you're interested in learning more (or even visiting) you can check out my new page:
Querenca
It's a peaceful place, with some pretty wow vivendas, I thought.
Nev and I enjoyed a relaxed re-fuelling session in one of its restaurants after our stroll around.
If I had to choose a place for an Algarve holiday home, I think Querenca might well feature high up my wish list.
Oh, well. Back to dreary southern England, while I plan our next Algarve adventure.
I don't want to wish my life away, but my next vacation can't come soon enough!
