If you ever go to Lisbon you must try the famous
Belam cake shop and their custard pies. Ann G made a bit of a pig of herself
with them which was a little embarrassing but I did'nt like to say anything! I
quite enjoyed my one (or maybe 2). Great place Lisbon, loads to see and do .The
weather was also ideal 25 c in th day and cool at night, Ali's favourite
time was sitting on a terrace overlooking the city,sipping an excellent Gin Fizz
as the sun went down,everyone was lounging on beanbags ,sofas and deckchairs,all
very laidback.
We had a little accident whilst I was attempting to
drop everyone off at a very nice beach. Unfortunately a wave caught the tender
at the wrong angle and the next instant Ann was submerged in the breakers.
Everyone laughed except Mrs Lawry who gave me another telling off. (I do'nt
think she has forgiven me for a little canoeing incident at Turf
Locks!)
(I can assure you there have been many other times
between then and now,he hasn't been forgiven for!)
Anyway Ann and Iain were still talking to us when
they left and basically we had a fab week.
We had a real hoot with Ann and Iain and
thouroughly enjoyed a week of laughter. Great company although maybe a little
way to go before the sea legs aclimatise.
