http://positivelyportugal.blogspot.com/2011/06/coffee.html

A PLACE TO HIGHLIGHT ALL THE POSITIVES ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL CORNER OF EUROPE. Friday, 17 June 2011. Portuguese coffee is wonderful. Granted it is not grown here, but it is roasted and blended here and there's nothing like it. I've had coffee in Italy (harsh in my opinion) and in Brazil (just plain awful) both of which you would think were countries with excellent coffee. Frankly they just don't get close to the smooth, strong, delicious coffee you find in just about every café across Portugal. This is a ...

Down the market ……. | Devon Belle

https://devonbelle.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/down-the-market

A Blog from one of the most beautiful Counties in England. Going South to Morbihan. July 10, 2011. Down the market ……. This weekend I’ve done two things I’ve never done before and they couldn’t be more poles apart. One I would happily do again, the other, I’m not really sure about. The first was the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, something I’ve wanted to go to since I was a kid either that or the Chelsea Flower Show. It was the sort of place I wished I was there on my own and not trying to keep an eye...

Positively Portugal: "Desenrasque" or the Portuguese art of improvisation

http://positivelyportugal.blogspot.com/2011/08/desenrasque-or-portuguese-art-of.html

A PLACE TO HIGHLIGHT ALL THE POSITIVES ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL CORNER OF EUROPE. Sunday, 7 August 2011. Desenrasque" or the Portuguese art of improvisation. Portuguese people are very proud of their ability to improvise under difficult circumstances and rightly so. There's even a special word for it -.
