Well, we were all set to emigrate to Italy, a country we love and know well, but post-Brexit it became clear that the moving process was going to be a nightmare especially with things like transferring a UK driving license to an Italian one. So Portugal became the new destination of choice.

In spite of being part of the EU, Portugal is far more welcoming to British people wishing to relocate to this beautiful country. So, this has now become our new home. And let’s face it, who can complain about 300 days of sunshine!

After two viewing trips we found a brilliant 4-bedroom villa on the outskirts of Loulé in the Algarve. Loulé is a lovely town with an interesting history and it’s close to both Faro airport and the beaches.

So this is the start of a new adventure and an amazing place for photography.
