This is Manx Queenie, signing off!
This is my fourth and final week as setter, although I notice that whoever succeeds me will have a five-week month to contend with – good luck to you!
By the time you read this, I shall be away on holiday as I am returning to Portugal for a few weeks, to the place where Christiana and I lived for six years before our return to the UK last summer. Having previously toured around Portugal itself, we settled on the Algarve, but chose the eastern end rather than the more populated western and central area where most of the British holidaymakers go. So we were much nearer the Spanish border, in an area predominantly Portuguese-living and speaking, and consequently learnt far more of what Portuguese life was really like.
