. . . last night a late drive to Pombal, to collect Jan from the Lisbon train and options for heading north: morning bus to Coimbra, evening bus to Castelo Branco, Sunday evening bus to Coimbra . . . this morning, after a long lie-in, recovering from an intense two weeks of live-in care, Jan proposes a drive north to Penamacor tomorrow . . . perfect - a chance to see more remote parts and a lift to Fundao, which despite its tempting name is not on the Dao . . .
The afternoon walk, with dogs released from confinement, includes visits to Paul, the helpful Welshman, President of the local dog charity and my support during the dog poisoning dramas (and his wife Carol who declines the photo), then round to Keith and Les from Blackburn, best pals since schooldays, pictured next to the Winnebago nursed here on its last trip, now serving as a comfy home while the house is built.
Tomorrow, now Spring has sprung, it's North with the other migratory creatures . . .
