Not sure when I will be stepping into an English supermarket again, let alone a Portuguese supermarket or my preference a market such as the one in Faro pictured below. What an exciting moment it will be when that day arrives.

Inside a super market!

Talking of days it has been a day or two since I explained the challenge so I thought I would take a moment now. There are so many options in this month’s squares, almost as much choice as in a Portuguese market. They really are super, ooh another hidden up!

In case anyone wasn’t aware the theme for January Squares is up, and it would be superb if more of you joined us in looking up and finding hidden ups.

I am posting daily this month, and it would be so uplifting if you can too. However don’t worry if daily posts are not for you, with this challenge you can post whenever suits you. The only absolute rule is that your main photograph must be SQUARE, and remember a square has 4 equal sides.

Huge thank you to everyone who has already left a comment and/or pingbacks on my square posts, and thank you also for finding the time to visit at least one other squarer. Together, with the tag SquareUp, we can be upbeat about 2021.

  1. It is so much fun walking around seeing and tasting the local produce. Seems a long time ago now, but hopefully we will be able to do that again in a not to far away future.

  2. Yes, I enjoy wandering through markets like these too. I have very fond memories of a farmers’ market we came across early one morning in Winchester. I bought a punnet of raspberries – they were the biggest raspberries I’ve ever seen and so tasty.

  3. Yes the stupid US view of what supermarkets should be adopted by the store owned by a few chosen few. We have a number of stores that have great produce and display just in an economic depressed area so the worldly delights aren’t what people can afford so they don’t last long but eventually someone else will come along. I loved the European markets. A pity we were travelling

      1. Same, but we airbnb mainly unless we can’t find anything. Had some great Wotif mystery deals – a 5 star in Marseillaise with toweling robes and all….we did feel posh
