Since I wrote my last blog (Feb 2014) a lot has happened:
My mother, Ellen James, died at 104 years old in Dec 2014.
I married Susan Adcock in June 2015.
We sold up in the UK and moved to Central Portugal in July 2015.

Although we wanted a house that needed no work, we have spent the last 21 months making changes to both the house and the land (about 2 acres). There are still a number of jobs to finish and some yet to be started. But - we now have an art room. It was the old adega (wine room and, probably, animal shelter) that has been improved with a large window and lots of cupboards.
We will be looking to invite a few creative people to enjoy these facilities with us this year.
