The Portuguese love kids - Wednesday 15th July

I can’t help but compare the unimpressed look you get from
the staff and other clientele inrestaurants at home when you walk in with kids attached, to the completely adoring and vocal welcome kids are given here in Portugal.

Isobel attracts kisses on each side and Tom, a cheek or chin pinch or a hair ruffle! Boys are clearly supposed to be cheeky & wiggly. Tom obliges! A crazy man in a cafe a few days ago bought the kids both a chocolate - not really sure why??

Our neighbours Celeste and Jorge are also very popular with the kids, even though none of us can communicate particularly well – our Portuguese isn’t good! If the kids think they can hear the front door of their apartment open, they are out there in a shot to see if it is our gorgeous neighbours.
