Mara’s cottage
13 April 2011 at 18:31 (Miscellaneous)
We’ve had a lovely week in Portugal, staying at Mara’s cottage. From the roads you can see many veg gardens with olives, citrus trees and grapes. I felt right at home.
The weather was gorgeous, our hosts were hospitable (and English speaking) and could tell us about nice places to visit and the cottage had everything we needed. It was a lovely vacation.

Bluetit in magnolia
30 March 2011 at 8:48 (House and garden, Wildlife)
This morning I spotted a bluetit seaching for insects in our magnolia stellata. Such a cheerful sight I wanted to post the picture, even if it isn’t that wonderful (small bird, big distance, average zoom lens).
