European sunshine birds 2025

went inland from miranda do douro to an old favourite torre de moncorvo 40 km of motorway then 20 km of back country roads right through the middle of fire ravaged land , when you hear that thousands of acres have been in a wildfire it doesn’t really compute but when you drive 17km of blackened hills and ash with trees like sticks of charcoal it strikes home also several villages there was a straight line just below the houses where they had fought the fire to save their homes

It's still around, this afternoon.
Watch out if you're on the A4, North of Bragança.
At least you're in good company .
Give kisses to Val & Lorraine
And a manly handshake to Ken.
 
Apologies to Jan, Ken..
Please note the time I posted it.

It had been a long, busy day.
Wine had passed my lips, and Brandy, owing to the cold Autumn air.
That's when the predictive text sneaks in.
I hope to apologise to her in person if you get down here.

Can't blame the long covid, It's been getting better and better for both of us over the last 6 weeks.
Safe travels.
 
Jeff & I moved on to a lovely aire at Lenora’s do mondego Nr Guarda it’s at a locals picnic area and swimming dam it has free hot showers immaculate and free electric, we sat out after dinner last night until 9:30 and I wondered how old the olive trees used as pitch dividers were?, this morning I went online and found this rough formula the tree measured 3215mm so rounded down 1600 years old which would make it 425 !!! I know Dave & thins love it there but that tree is older than greengrass
