Tonight’s table setting - I’m sharing these here because quite a few of you asked me to not leave them on stories as they disappear and easier than to search on highlights and I’m happy to oblige. After setting the table, it started pouring with rain, so it made for quite the experience. But we still went ahead with our barbeque dinner with friends because we are British and a little rain isn’t going to stop us (the Portuguese moved the plates inside) 🤣 185 57
Today is a very happy day - because we were able to recreate one of our favourite dishes in the world (from Portugal, obviously): amêijoas a bulhão pato, which is clams with garlic, coriander (cilantro), olive oil, white wine and some wonderful salt. I never ever even thought I could make it - but after finding some lovely clams at a #Weymouth fishmonger today, we decided to give it a go. @mroaroundworld thinks I’m the best today, so I’m going to enjoy that compliment. Does this look like something you’d try? Obviously a slice of sourdough bread to mop up that sauce is included. And a glass of wine white. #saturdaynight 314 107
The first time I saw a sandy beach in England. 161 32
The weather wasn’t great yesterday but it was hot (and dry!) and the river was quite busy! 176 16
We have my godson @henriquelfam a little taste of the #henleyroyalregatta this afternoon - he even picked my hat (which didn’t really match my outfit but that’s irrelevant 😉). We literally just got on the river taxi up and down the river as we would get bored otherwise (and the timing was just perfect). And we had a special request for lunch (see stories 🤣) 418 90
I wanted to take a photo of this landmark but it really isn’t easy without a drone - and as I came on holiday with only my phone, this was the best I could do. There’s a town called #Tarifa in Spain’s #Andalucia, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. I had no idea it was there - and it was actually quite meaningful to go there (and great fun too). I’m from #Portugal as most of you know and lots of people think it’s on the #Med and it isn’t - hence why our dips in the sea are always a bit cooler. It was a lovely way to end our holiday. We shall be back next year, last week of June (I hope!) #MrsOapproved 192 27
