Hi everyone Thought it was time for an update on what?s been happening. Last e-mail I wrote I think Clare & were still in Portugal. I?ll just fill you in on the last part of our adventures! We got back to London about a week ago, had a fantastic time away. Lagos (Portugal) was beautiful, definitely a place to go to relax, sit on the beach and read a book.
