Stompin’ Daddy Bravo
June 6, 2011 – 5:38 PM
At least when it comes to family visits, the Bravo clan has always believed in quality over quantity. A few days of sharing stories, sipping wine on our balcony, and touring Portugal’s rural cafés ended with a gorgeous night in the big city. We only had a few hours to explore Porto so we had [...]
Sr. Saxofone and the Tall Blonde
May 14, 2011 – 4:34 PM
At last … I am wearing flip flops and sunglasses. Any remaining shiver from the cold, wet days of winter seems like a distant memory. I love standing still, closing my eyes and listening to the symphony of spring sounds right outside our doorstep. Birds chirp, tractors churn, insects buzz, dogs bark. And saxophonists sax. A string [...]

Páscoa em Cabril

Easter was always a big deal in the Bravo family. Lots of good food, lots of easter eggs, lots of chocolate, lots of strawberries, lots of champagne, lots of eastery springtime stuff and lots of fuss. Rarely on the same continent at the same time, the four of us always made an effort to be [...]

Expats Portugal Life does Tango
April 5, 2011 – 2:19 PM
One of my favourite ex-pat couples has launched a new on-line magazine and it’s fabulous. Expats Portugal Life is filled with fun, quirky articles, gorgeous photos and useful information. The articles come in wonderfully bite-sized pieces, perfect for my short attention span. Sometimes Penfold makes a guest appearance in the mag and the incredibly talented [...]

March 11, 2011 – 4:32 PM
We are two chicks: once inseparable, now living two very different lives in two very different countries. Together we have navigated our way through the good, the bad and the ugly and our friendship survives despite the 8,000 kms that keep us apart. But inevitably the distance takes its toll. I miss being able to [...]

Cabril gets cold during the winter months and central heating is a fading distant memory. A great deal of our time these days is divided between keeping the land clear and keeping ourselves warm. When the sun hides and the mercury drops, cashmere quickly jumps from luxury to necessity status. Our only heat comes from burning [...]
