About this book
While waiting to board a plane for our annual holiday, my wife and I exchanged afew words, Me: 'Where's Faro?'Wife: 'Portugal.'Little did we know, that fleeting conversation would lay the blueprint for ourfuture. Soon, the allure of Portugal would not only inspire our next holidaydestination, it would beckon us to transform a passing fancy into a permanentaddress in the sun-kissed hills of São Brás de Alportel.Amidst our major life decisions, the laughs, the frowns, the ups and downs, Marli(our much loved cat, who was prone to car sickness) takes centre stage. Fromher early years in Slaithwaite, Huddersfield, UK, to her sunlit retirement inPortugal, Marli's journey mirrors our own, from idealism to realism, (withpit-stops at Bafflement, Bliss, Disappointment and Delight).Follow our tale from whimsical date-night daydreams to the concrete steps ofbuying land and building a home in a foreign country. This narrative isn't justabout relocating- it's a candid and humorous exploration of love, hope, challenges, and the sheer unpredictability of life.Wehadadream, we had each other, and we had Marli.What could possibly go wrong?
