Yay later today we return to our beloved Portugal, a land where the larks are still plentiful and there isn’t a spiky and constitutional crisis.

Double spikes

I despair of what is happening in the UK right now, and live in forlorn hope that our parliamentarians will stop playing games soon and put the country first. Thank goodness I will be flying away in a few hours. Now whilst I travel across sea and land, why don’t you put your feet up, sit back and enjoy our fabulous second gallery.

Oops I forgot to remind you to make a cup of tea or coffee, or if you are relaxing this evening maybe a glass of wine or something. The gallery isn’t huge today but you are still going to need something to keep you going!

I really hope everyone who visits this post will have a moment this weekend or next to fully look round the gallery. It would mean so much to me if you could.

There are so many wonderful new contributors as well as some extraordinary ones from our regulars. The variety really has been incredible this month, I have never known what might pop up on my screen.

By the way I have discovered quite a few of the pingbacks are not appearing in the ‘pings’ list. I hope I have included everyone who has posted a square in the past seven days, but if I have missed you do let me know. Please also do check your pingbacks link to a post rather than the home page and even more importantly make sure your photos are square!

  4. Hope your flight is not too uncomfortable in this wind! Lucky you escaping from all the madness. I too despair over our politicians trying to score off each other rather than getting together and working towards a decision. All we hear from is the Tories and Labour, what do other parties have to say? And why wasn’t this important decision not given to a cross party and non-political committee and not left to the government to sort out? Argh! I am so over politics now that I doubt I shall ever vote again.

    2. The wind just made the flight a very long one . . .t . . took the full 150minutes. Most unusual. Back now in glorious sunshine, can forget Brexit for a tiny bit (well until I look at the news) and just chill for a few days. Last week was sooo busy and far too many responsibilities, really good to get away from it all and return to sunshine.

      I ‘ve decided I won’t stop voting but have no idea who I will vote for . . maybe a pretty face on the ballot paper is the way to go . . coz you are right they are a nightmare.

    1. Thanks Jim . . . not really a holiday though as we have been in Portugal on and off since October! The English trip was one of our regular catch ups, and in about 6 weeks we move back for the English summer!

      Do hope your granddaughter had a lovely time in the UK, at least she got some sunshine. And yes feel so sorry for you in the US, your situation is not much better than ours!
