An Algarve Garden 2024 to 2026
The scent was so strong on the Brug today it was almost overpowering in the house at least 20 meters away. Needless to say, the house smells heavenly.

What's your weather like 2026
I felt really cold today so heating is back on. Still have leccy blanket and fleecy bedding on too. Although the temps aren’t that cold, this wind mixed with rain is most miserable.
