Caz, It is a very long story but will try and cut it short. My husband was a refugee from the old Lourenço Marques in Mozambique now called Maputo. He managed to escape with his car and what he could fit in it and crossed over the South African border.. I met him after he had been there three years. When things started looking real bleak in South Africa he said that he has seen the signs before and that we are going to Portugal. The first four years we lived in the village where his parents family are from and I was very unhappy, cold and rainy all the time and not accepted. So we immigrated to Canada and lasted four years because he was unhappy, so we compromised and decided on the Algarve, where we are very happy... Lindy ;-))))))))))

Lindy, thankyou for sharing something so beautiful!!! What took you to the Algarve if you dont mind me asking? cazxxxxxxxx

Hello there ladies, I had the most wonderful experience this afternoon!. To cut a very long story short, we have new neighbors that moved into the ruin next door to us, that they renovated a couple of months ago. The young couple have a twenty two month old little girl and the wife was pregnant with their second daughter. Not accustomed to hearing young children in our neighborhood, every time young Sofia shrieked, hubby and I would run to our kitchen veranda, which over looks their property, to see if she had hurt herself...lol... Just a very active young madam... Well, the new arrival was born two weeks early, ( last Saturday ) which we knew nothing about... This afternoon my neighbor called me from her balcony and asked me if I would like to see her new arrival. I have never in my life held something so tiny and precious, she weighs just over two kilos and is beautiful... I have had cats bigger and heavier... Little Sarah took my breath away and I actually felt a physical pain in my heart. Her little fingers and toes are perfect. I am beyond the age of bearing a child but never knew that the maternal feeling never goes away... Sorry that this is so long.....just had to share! Lindy ;-))))))))))))

hello ... :-) Joy
