first picnic of the season

First picnic 2022.

We went to the park with Liam in the pram and a picnic basket, but the lawns were still too damp. So we made a walk in the park and ended up in our backyard for a picnic lunch on a Masai Mara blanket.

We had lunch and mini enjoyed his pumpkin-rice snack.

And the uber cute jacket Liam-Novi is wearing, is a handmade jacket from Greece (bought in 1992), which I kept all this time and that his mother and uncle also wore as a baby.

March has been generous with sunshine! Tomorrow it will snow. Would it...?

jardim da alameda & ilha de faro

Wednesday 2nd of September.

After breakfast under the lemon tree we went to the harbour to buy the tickets for the ferry to Faro Island. Because there are only a few tickets available each hour, you have to make sure to book the tickets in time and also have to tell in front which ferry you want to take back. So you have to decide in advance, how many hours you want to stay on the island.

On our way to the harbour, we had a walk through the Alameda João de Deus Garden around the corner of our street. Something between a small botanical garden and a city park. We had coffee and cake on the terrace at the 'quiosque' in the park. The gardners were pruning the palm trees and the place was covered with beautiful huge palm leaves. I even considered to bring one home, but it was to big for my suitcase.
