It's always such a treat to open our guest book and find out what our visitors think......
Imagine my joy when I saw this wonderful message from our latest visitors, a lovely Portuguese family of 4. The colours just jumped out of the page and I think Liliana captured the essence of our Quinta beautifully in her painting. Thank you Gustavo for the comments and your brilliant English, Bravo! 👏
"My name is Gustavo and we loved the house and the animals and the pool but we mostly like the way they take care of everything. I think Blue is an amazing dog and very intelligent 'cause he can't see and hear but he come to us. Teddy stay more in his world but we can give him affection"
"We just love it! Gutavo, Leonor, Liliana & Marco"

Its interesting how photos can bring back so many memories.........

When we first started to renovate Quinta do Cobral, our abandoned farm, one of the critical things we needed was water and we didn’t have any! We now have a wonderful supply from a 65m borehole but before that we had to collect every drop we needed for drinking, cooking and washing from the fountain in the village. Fonte de São João became a daily visiting place, we turned up with 6 to 8 25L water containers and filled them up, for free, with the most wonderful tasting, fresh water. It was an absolute life line for us.
Now I have the pleasure of taking a few 3L bottles to fill with the same, crystal clear, sweet tasting water just because I love it, especially chilled on a hot day. Every time I fill up it makes me smile and remember our 22 year journey and why we absolutely love living here.

É interessante como as fotografias podem trazer de volta tantas memórias.........

Quando começámos a renovar a Quinta do Cobral, a nossa quinta abandonada, uma das coisas mais importantes que precisávamos era de água e não a tínhamos! Atualmente, temos um excelente abastecimento através de um furo de 65 metros, mas antes disso tínhamos de recolher todas as gotas de água que precisávamos para beber, cozinhar e lavar na fonte da aldeia. A Fonte de São João tornou-se um local de visita diária, aparecíamos com 6 a 8 recipientes de água de 25L e enchíamo-los, de graça, com a água fresca de sabor maravilhoso. Foi uma verdadeira tábua de salvação para nós.
Agora tenho o prazer de levar algumas garrafas de 3L para encher com a mesma água, cristalina e de sabor doce, só porque a adoro, especialmente fresca num dia quente. Cada vez que a encho, faz-me sorrir e lembrar a nossa viagem de 22 anos e a razão pela qual adoramos viver aqui.

My Dads Silver Poplar tree seen every morning from my kitchen window ……..

Its vivid foliage brings me such joy especially at this time of year. It is most spectacular on a bright sunny day against a cloudless sky with a breeze blowing through its leaves. The tree seems to sparkle like it’s covered in glitter when the leaves dance and show their silver backs to perfection. See reel that follows this post.

In 2018 while visiting my Dad in France I managed to dig up 2 suckers from his magnificent tree which was over 30m high and bring them home. Lots of love and care let to both trees thriving. Now this one is a glittering reminder of him every day, one that I treasure.
While looking up the history of these trees for this post I discovered that in Ancient Greco-Roman mythology the Silver Poplar was a symbol of a peaceful afterlife and a memory of those we love who have died, and in the language of flowers, its meaning is “time”. How absolutely perfect is that?

O choupo do meu pai, visto todas as manhãs da janela da minha cozinha.........
A sua folhagem viva traz-me muita alegria, especialmente nesta altura do ano. É mais espetacular num dia de sol brilhante, contra um céu sem nuvens e com uma brisa a soprar nas suas folhas. A árvore parece brilhar como se estivesse coberta de purpurina quando as folhas dançam e mostram as suas costas prateadas na perfeição.
Em 2018, enquanto visitava o meu pai em França, consegui desenterrar 2 rebentos da sua magnífica árvore com mais de 30 metros de altura e trazê-los para casa. Muito amor e carinho fizeram com que ambas as árvores prosperassem. Agora, esta é uma recordação brilhante dele todos os dias, uma recordação que guardo com carinho.
Enquanto pesquisava a história destas árvores para este post, descobri que, na mitologia greco-romana antiga, o choupo-prateado era um símbolo de uma vida pacífica após a morte e uma memória daqueles que amamos e que, na linguagem das flores, o seu significado é “tempo”. Não é absolutamente perfeito?
