  • On Friday night we celebrated #saojoaoporto and had a fantastic time. We put colorful decorations up, barbecued sardines, drank lots of delicious wine 🍷 and then took to the streets with our plastic hammers to hit all passers by with it and watch the fireworks at midnight 👌🏻💃🏼 💥 🔨 The Portuguese sure know how to throw a good party 😊 This year I let the kids stay up to celebrate with us. I was very apprehensive about it but they were great and had a lot of fun. They were totally knackered when we got back home and as soon as the lights were off they passed out 😬 Hope you all had fantastic weekends too. If you fancy seeing more photos and learning more about the celebrations i wrote about it on the blog. Oh and if you haven't yet please vote for me in the #BIBS2017 I'm a finalist in the photo category and would love your support. (Link in bio) ❤️

  • ''MUMMY!!!! It's my turn to hold the flowers now.'' 😊 She did after all choose them (good taste don't you think?) We spent most of the morning shopping and as much as I would like to say it was a smooth morning and she was a lovely little helper it really wasn't . We were either moving very very slowly or were indeed stopped 🙄 Anyway we managed to get everything we need for tomorrow night's #saojoao2017 party. We have 10 adults and 5 kids coming over tomorrow evening and as much as I'm looking forward to it Im really anxious too because unlike most Portuguese children, mine never stayed up past 9pm EVER!!!!!! I should explain that the tradition is to stay up partying and dancing until the early hours of the morning so.... It will either be amazing or a total disaster 😬 Wish me luck 🤞🏻

  • I love looking for beauty in the mundane and lately I have been spending more time truly seeing things, places, people around me. There is so much beauty everywhere ❤️ I drive past here almost everyday and everyday it looks different. Sometimes is buzzing with fishermen, moving boats and a lots of noise and other times all is quiet and serene. How do you see the world around you? Do you look or do you see?
  • Oh Summer how I love you ❤️ my flat is covered in sand but I forgive you 😂
  • What a day it's been! I found out a few hours ago I'm one of the finalists at the @britmums #BIBS2017 awards in the photography category!!!!!

  • It's FRIDAY and the weather is glorious too 🙌🏻 We went for ice cream 🍦 and had a lovely walk on the beach 🏖 before dinner and it was almost perfect apart from the constant 'stay next to us' 'don't run away' 'stop splashing water all over people' ..... Poor kids 😅
