I really really did think I'd try somewhere new this winter. My son made a comment when I came back this time that "you're not really travelling mum, you're just moving between two homes!" and it did make me think that maybe I should really branch out a bit more and go somewhere different. I thought about Ibiza and then Greece and I was all up for it but then I had a few health issues here this summer that knocked me back a bit and, well, truly, my heart has always been in Portugal.
I'm leaving here in a couple of weeks, heading up to Scotland for a whistle stop tour before taking the boat from Portsmouth to Santander on the 10th of October. Going to get through Spain fairly quickly and then meander down through Portugal until I reach my second home around the Barao de Sao Joao area.
I've got my Green card today and so I'm kind of talking myself into visiting Morroco for a couple of months in January, that's if I can tear myself away from the place I love so much.
Does it matter if you're not 'travelling'? Can it ever just be OK to follow a similar route? I know that doing something different would stretch me and would probably make me stronger but right now I'm quite happy just to settle for an easy life.
