It’s been an amazing experience to breathe life back into the crumbling walls of our ruin. Steve and I are both proud to have done it, and in fact we are still doing it to this day!
Another big part of my story is horses; they have always been my passion. We brought our three horses from England with us and started offering horse riding holidays. This added a whole different adventure to our lives, and within a year, we had seven horses, three dogs, three cats, and three chickens. Over the next few years, two beautiful foals were born at our farm; all of these animals have enriched our lives and have etched their own characters into our story.
Our son Craig was only nine years old at the time, we were amazed at the way he overcame some huge obstacles; like starting at a Portuguese school, where nobody spoke English. We have had some great adventures, and some tough times, but I have loved every minute of it.
I hope you enjoy sharing our ongoing story in my second book titled “Another Slice of Paradise.” This takes in the next 12 years of our life in Portugal, from the end of 1999 to 2012. Many guests visit our little corner of Paradise to ride our horses and see for themselves the stunning beauty of the Portuguese countryside. You will meet new people, horses, dogs, and fowl, as well as catching up with the older animals, and hopefully learning a little more about Portugal and its wonderful friendly people. Our dream to build a lovely little guest cottage becomes a reality, and a surprise encounter leads to us building our own riding arena.
Our life seems to be a rollercoaster of happiness and heartbreak, but our old house and the river below are our constant.”
