Thanks Paul, we are now resident in Portugal, hi neighbour.
What peculiar times we are in, I only hope it will not take to long to return to normal, what ever that is.
All I ask is that you and Jenny stay safe, see ypu soon.

Now I have permission from STMBO, I'll sit it out.

Judging by the news from uk,, If you're in a safe and well serviced location, especially away from large agglomerations 8of of people, I'd be tempted to stay put, until the situation clarifies..
To quote Corporal Jones...
" DON'T PANIC...DON'T PANIC !!! "

Rumour has it that 8 vans left the aire at Alentejo ("The Dutch mans" Portugal) this morning, they were turned back at the border into Spain.

 

[Trotter]

3 x 600mm drainage pipes placed on the bridge into Spain. We won’t be leaving Portugal any time soon.

It was a surprise to see this earlier today.
There are still roads open between Portugal and Spain.
