Foul weather warning from the local public notification authority. Basically it's going to be windy and wet, for the next few days. A North Atlantic cold front will make life unpleasant north of a line between Lisbon and Benidorm.. ish. Avoid high ground and exposure to the N.W. gusts. I can...

Welcome from The Algarve.

We were with Safeguard. Over the years they paid for 3 repatriations . They were brilliant and covered everything.. The AA has an operation centre in France., who coordinated everything there. Good luck, it's all part of the adventure

And from The Algarve.

Welcome from Portugal. Have fun and adventures.

I'm surprised that Brownhills is still trading. My personal experiences with them have all been unsatisfactory and many others have complained about them . It's hard to find a true Good ' Un.

Nice of you to remember that tragic incident, that I'd almost forgotten about, since the nightmares ceased. That's not the original cover, though, there's no bits of my flesh attached to it.

At first sight, this looks like click bait from a Spanish lawyer.. But I'm the eternal optimist. I'm living in Portugal, on health grounds , owning a property and we both have 5 year residency cards. I currently bring cash in from the UK and spend it locally, on goods and services. Keeping the...

There were 2 other, French vans on the aire. They ignored us completely, even when we wished them " Bonjour, toute va bien aqui ? ". Being on French time they left earlier, than us. When we left and filled up at the Bourne, there was a fresh sticker over the tap.. " Don't you feel that there...

Pity you can't get it covered under your business fleet policy. As a mobile office and facilities truck.? You could use it for preparing estimates, abroad.. You could put my fee down as Consultant.

If you find out that you've overbought and have payload worries, remember that we're always available to help.

Another minor dragon, to slay. You're never bored with a motorhome... Or a wife ! Happy New Year..!

Well done for being coherent enough , after the pub.. Did it close early ?

Happy birthday Marie. From all your friends on the Algarve. We're throwing a bash on your honour. I'm sure it will be a full house.. We'll send you the bill by PM.🥳

That explains the lack of noodles in last night's snack.

As @n brown says, Portugal has a very relaxed attitude to public urination. Every stationary truck or Tractor with a large rear wheel is a legitimate target. Nobody batted an eyelid, when I blessed a council cherry picker truck. The guy at the top gave me a thumbs up. He was decorating the newly...

Phil should create a totally new website.. " Toilet talk for Motorhomes, " And a YouTube channel. They'd be very busy. He'd make another fortune !
