Saturday to Thursday staying in Quarter in Portugal.
Lovely apartment (well done Hector!) and mostly great weather for our stay. close to the wide beach and nice promenade with a good choice of cafes and restaurants.
Spent a lot of time on hired loungers under parasols and paddling. The breakers were quite large so I did not swim – too chicken. Took a bus out to Vilamoura and the large marina there. Some great restaurants and seriously big yachts!
We hired bikes for a day and cycled out to Vilamoura and beyond to some dunes and along tracks to another half day spent on a beach. It was a wonderful short break and so relaxing. The bike ride was the highlight for me… we did only 10 or 11 miles, but it has fired me up to think about renovating my bike to use again.
For the first time on holiday for a while I used just my iPhone camera

An early flight meant a stay in an airport hotel in Manchester, so we made the most of it with a tour of the Coronation Street set.
Ha Ha.

Early morning by the river at Lazonby

You’ve got to make the most of a nice day. Lovely walk at a Wet Sleddale.
