Well, the wind died down at exactly 12.00 midday on Saturday, just as the 'Devon Chapter' left and after just a few hours I could feel the blood running through my fingers again - what a climate, 42º degrees on Wednesday and 5/6º on Saturday (thumbs)

I think Polly and <i have only just come round/woken up this morning (Monday) and after our third 'lock-in' with Gaspar and Carmen we're off tomorrow before s humungous thunder storms roll in . . .

We're all alone here at Algarbe tonight and it's rather surreal . . .

I'll have to get myself together to add our photos and thoughts in a few days time when the dust - and I mean dust! has settled. Meanwhile a hige 'Thanks-you' to you all and it's great to hear that you're hoe safe and well.

Good night (thumbs)

Simon & Polly

Thanks Gav for the great pix. I think this one in particular deserves a caption:

Our host, Gaspar, showing his new barman, Skippy, aka, Australia, aka Paul, how to serve a Shandy Pooftah (thumbs)
