I had noticed you weren't around Chris. Glad to see the trip has sorted you out!
Lovely sunny pictures has made me warm just looking so can well imagine how uplifting the trip was.

Lovely photo's and good to hear you are feeling better...

Pleased you are back again Wildrose, those pictures are wonderful, such gorgeous scenery and colors, a place to put on the list for future visits;0)

Sorry to read about your virus, they can be extremely debilitating, love the photos Portugal looks great, pleased the holiday cleared away the virus so you can now enjoy summer.

Lovely blog Wildrose pleased you are A1 once more ready for summer :o)

So glad the warmth and sunshine helped you get well again Rosie, take care, at least it is warming up here too. :)

It really does make you think chris...how much healthier we would be if we had more warm sunshine! That looks like medicine for the soul as well as the body. We had a holiday in Portugal once, in July, it was actually a bit chilly (we are famous for bad weather holidays) but I really loved it, and your photo as have got me thinking....hmmm...future late winter holiday destination! March is such a cruel month. Just when you think the worst is over, March hits us with it's freezing winds and bone-biting chills. You certainly did yourselves a power of good getting out of it for a short time. Welcome back...glad PC is fixed! X

Lovely pictures. I prefer to see them on my computer instead of been there myself. I hate hot and sunny weather. It makes me very ill. I come from sunny Cyprus and I am scared of the weather to go there. Very strange to many but true.

Great photos Wildrose they bring back memories of time spent in Alvor and Pra de luz both wonderful places to go so its no wonder you are feeling much better, hope it continues and that we get some decent weather, or is that asking for too much as here in the midlands it has gone very cold.

We've got November dreich drizzle today...surely it can't last much longer now? :S

I have just looked at this blog again and then looked at the greyness and dampness outside...........I think I need to go back again!!!
Thanks for all your nice comments and I am glad that you liked the sunshine too.

Chris - what a good idea to take a therapeutic holiday in the Algarve - and it worked! Lovely to see those flowers against such a blue blue sky . . . specially loved that white one (blossom?) (white bougainvillea??).

So glad it's done you good, and welcome back to GoY :)

Sheila it was summer jasmine - I can smell it from here! We missed out on many flowers because it was so early but we were so fortunate with the weather.

Glad to hear your feeling better now. What a lovely place to go to recover. All that lovely sunshine and warmth.

It is so nice to get away to somewhere warm when the weather here is so cold.

wonderful what you can grow by the Med . . . thanks Chris, gorgeous photos!

Hello Chris and thanks for your letter. I will be replying soon. I'm so pleased you are better now ! Thats all you needed....sunshine and rest ! I loved all the pictures. It looks really beautiful there. I can understand why you love it so much ! xxx

So pleased you left your nasty virus in Portugal Chris. I enjoyed seeing your colourful pics too, it looks a beautiful place:-)

Oh how I wish I were there now ... like Stroller we have holidayed in Alvor and Praia da Luz many times ... I recall walking through wild Lupins on top of the cliffs ... so pleased to read you are feeling much better :o)

I've only just seen this Blog, Chris. It brought back some very happy memories, I also enjoyed Portugal once or twice. Where abouts did you go? Lovely photos :)

We went just beyond Albufeira to a spot called Oura Praia. We were so lucky with the weather and had a really lovely time.

I know Albufeira, but not the particular resort you stayed at. So glad the trip helped you to throw off the bug, now what we need is a good summer here. Fingers crossed.
