The special sunset of Madeira :)

My present mania is ...

... making tea with disposable tea filters and with tea that I buy by weight (100 grams at a time in little brown paper bags) and from these huge boxes imported directly from where the tea grows ... Just had three cups of Ceylon Orange Pekoe from the Garden of Pettiagalla, wherever that is, really nice tea ;)

and lots and lots of soup :)

Just in case...

anybody doubts why I had to leave msn all of a sudden: the reason was a dish of pork and mushrooms and sweet potato ;)

For Mummy

Dear Mummy,

Só para dizer que perdi os óculos...

Lots of kisses,

Inês

Casa vende-se

and we went to visit the house that Rui (exceptionally...) decided was a wonderful house to rebuild because it would have a tiny garden of its own the PLUS the wholeextension of gardens of the English Church. And it was the silence of the neighbourhood that most convinced us to visit and start dreaming... Everything was perfect but for two small details: the price and a whole kennel of dogs barking next door to our dreamed tiny garden :(

The view before the skyscrapper

... and before it wipes out all the nice view from the miradouro das Cruzes...
Can you spot the Hospício? and to the middle of the photo the hight cranes for building the new tower, and to the left the round top of the English Church? I'll tell you all about the reason for this photo in the next post...

I'm Back...

Why do you have a blog if you keep exchanging mails? Wasn't it the point of having a blog - to stop with all those neverending e-mails??

Anyway, I might as well do the same! I passed my exam, so your corossed fingers worked out - my final grade is 12! :) (I know it doesn't sound very good, but it's great!)

I'll try to keep in touch form now on.. (as I'm on holiday now, for 4 whole days!!!) :)

kisses

I spy with my little eye...

Room with a view ;)
