Great photos. I can see how your imagination produced your dream house and feel even worse now about spoiling your ideas. Bear in mind that I am neither an architect nor a civil engineer, just an observer on your behalf - with your determination and a very large investment anything may be possible. ...

Air rage
Our daughter and 2 children had the same problem for the autumn half term just gone. Cheapest charter flight from any airport to Faro was £625 leaving at some godforsaken hour. I booked through www.opodo.co.uk TAP flights to Lisbon at good times,free drinks,meal and comfortable seats for £225 !! It ...

House on the Hill
I think that the white wall with seating is a public viewing point and is still there. The garden of the house to which I was referring is at a higher level. I cannot find any details of a land registry and indeed doubt if it would be applicable for a property of this age -- the best I can do is giv...

I have just got back from my after-lunch walk and took the opportunity to look round your dream home. Basically I would not touch it -- there is evidence of recent slippage apart from the fact that the garden and surrounding wall fell into the sea long ago on the South (sea) facing wall. The roof ha...

Whowee !! Are we not getting way off the subject ? :o :o I drove from CVO (to justify inclusion !!) to Silves having read about this on the forum -- the atmosphere was great with prices around half of U.K. prices, no aggro.,but 95% Portuguese. :D :D Overall a great night out and thanks to guest for ...
Pet hates
Most of us have our pet hates of food --- here are my top 5 for starters. 1/ Frozen chips :( 2/ Pies which are a microwaved mush with a puff pastry lid stuck on top. :x 3/ Steak Diane/au poivre etc. which are grilled steaks with a packet sauce poured on top -- not carefully prepared and flambed at t...

Pool grout and tile problems
Forgive me doubling up on this topic but perhaps members who peruse the general may not look at the property owners forum so often. This may be a problem to affect many of us in the future so may I ask you to refer to my queries there.
Thankyou.
Thankyou.

Pool grout and tile problems
Our pool which was retiled 2 years ago now has large patches of tiles coming off. The installer has agreed to rectify the problem which he says is due to the cement/adhesive being affected by the chlorine in the water. This in turn was due to the grout coming out. We consider this was due to faulty ...

loving the algarve
On the old road from Lagoa to Sesmarias (with the Madonna at the T-junction) on the left hand side is the Bar Boa Vista which has been closed for about 3 years since the owner won the lottery. There is room for a bar + tea room/coffee shop/restaurant + mini-market + living accommodation above, and t...

Sea
I was quoting official figure given by the lifeguard but must admit that after the first 2 inches from the surface it feels a bit cooler !! Refreshing would be the word in the recent heat-wave. One thing that never ceases to amaze me though is how the temperature can vary so much from one day to the...

Sorry to hear about the UK weather Ellie, but we shall be back with you in 10 days time for a few weeks and will try to pack some sun for ...
