Met up with Nosey Parker yesterday afternoon..and I think you could say..we 'got on' rather well ...eh Sue?
Chatted for over THREE HOURS!....poor Stefan didnt get a word in edgeways..sideways..or any other way..right Sue?
But I so enjoyed it..thank-you both for a lovely time.Youre a great couple and really deserve to get your hearts desire and Im sue you will ..as you have youth and the essentail 'enthusiasm/ambition' to do so!
The way you spoke of England's greenness had me feeling a little 'homesick'..but when Im home ..I know Ill have the same feeling for Algarve!...and as you said..wouldnt it be ideal to spend half the year in each country?
Maybe ..in time ..we will get our wishes?....love Elliex(best wishes to your Mum and give 'Toffee' a pat for me )

It was the same ,when Lesley and I met.....I recognised her instantly..although I had seen photo..she was exactly as Id imagined..tall slim attractive brunette..
and very good comany.
I think we spent hour and half (is that about right Lesley?) at Anteak bar.but an interesting evening in which we 'got to know' quite a bit of each others lives.....
and Lesleys led quite an 'adventurous' one..how about a book Lesley?
By the way sweetie...Im still trying to find name for that beautiful red (rustyred)flowered tree!...(I couldnt get to tree..so Lesley brought it to me!! )
Maybe someone here may know it?
The seed pod is very much like a large 'empty' acorn cup..but more 'square-ish'.its green..and there are about 4 largish seeds formed in base of cup..leaves seem similar to Oleander?
:Lesley says tree is around 6 metres high......
Look forward to meeting again Lesley!..love Elliex
P.S. I have still to meet the elusive/mysterious 'Eco Spider' .....but as hes 'taken up the cloth' ..maybe hes too busy preaching....spider where est vous???

Ellie, I must confess that I have not taken up the cloth, only the one I use to dry my wine glass, my thought, but not alas, my actions, are as lewd as most red blooded, (or in my case wine) males. I did spot you yesterday talking to a couple in the square but thought they may be relatives, wrong again Rest assured my little snowball I will be tapping your shoulder before you go back to the rust country, I have seven days I believe do I not? Just in case I can't summon up the courage this time will you be back in January 2005, and alone? PS, looks like the bushy tail murderers days are numbered, TALLY HO!!! tossers

Hi Ellie, thank you for the lovely compliments, very kind of you.
We had a lovely evening at Anteak bar, shame we didn't see anyone else, also I had to be a party pooper as I was going back to UK next day and still had sooooo much to do. Maybe next time we can make a real night of it Ellie. (have to get some of the others together for a good party)
You are a very lovely person, warm, friendly and just as I had expected except I hadn't realised you were such a 'Cockney' lovely to hear as my mother was born within the sound of Bow Bells.
Have a lovely week and enjoy the sun and warmth, when you get back I expect we will be in the grips of good old English autumn/winter weather. Although today is a lovely sunny day in Somerset.

Hey Eco I am with you re the Hunting scene. I might have horses and ride but I do not hunt, never have, never will. So glad it will be banned now.

Come on Ellie & Eco. - set a date, place and time Maybe Gambrinus can organise a get together and post some pictures for us? (including one of him and not some furry animal )

Guest, whoever you are, the last thing I would want is some nosey pogger watching and photographing any meeting or otherwise between Ellie and I . Any way how do I know you aint her old man waiting to give me a pair of sun glasses. Perhaps it's the case that you get your kicks out of watching . You will all know when a meeting takes place just watch for the firework display. Meanwhile guest I suggest you leave things alone. You aint one of those that chase furry things for kicks are you

as i walked out thru cavoeiro
i saw her first and knew
that her blonde hair would weave a snare
that i would one day rue
i saw the danger yet i walked
along the enchanted way
and i said let grief be a fallen leaf
at the dawning of the day


Sorry ellie ,eco i read the posts and couldn,t resist

Is this your own work Gerry?
If so..all I can say is....the Irish certainly have a way with words!
Oh and Im still waiting for Spider to name the day..the hour...
not that Im trying to 'snare ' him of course
I promise to treat you gently Eco..like all my fellow creatures
and what have you to say on our Gerry's little sonnet mm?

Sorry Ellie but I have to give credit to the silver tongue of Gerry, perhaps he would write me a few for future reference. Another confession is that I know where your staying, followed you back to your apartment when you left Colombo's late one nignt, just to make sure you got home ok,(honest) so I am going to shove a little note under you door with a time and place before you go back to(YAWN) Lincolnshire. Why bother to go back you always look so happy here, perhaps you miss your old man?
As old Mick Jagger song goes 'Lets Spend A Night Together' How'm I doin Gerry.
Whilst I'm here, I see that the fluffy tail murderers are still screaming for blood, only the fox's of cours!

Is it just me or is Eco starting to look like a bit of a stalker?

Nice one Eco - you have probably scared the pants of poor Ellie.

Eco, I think you should make yourself known to Ellie ASAP as long as she has somebody with her. In her shoes, after reading your posts, I would be frightened to death.

I feel the same as Graham, Sam & Dee and hope that someone lets Ellie know what has been happening.

Graham, just you mate.

apparently not
