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 307 101
The first time I saw a sandy beach in England. 157 26
The weather wasn’t great yesterday but it was hot (and dry!) and the river was quite busy! 175 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 🤣) 414 86
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
Back in our very happy place, the wonderful @fincacortesin in the south of #Spain. I first came here as Mrs. O in 2013 (I added the review link on my bio if you want to know a bit more), and we have returned as Ana & Simon every year since (except last year, which was complicated). It brings out the very best in us - I don’t know why. We just love it here. I can’t think of a better place to welcome #Summer. #MrsOapproved 365 63
