Grato pela tua resposta! Eu compreendo que não será fácil viver assim isolada e afastada das merdomias da vida da cidade mas,é tão bom e agradável o contacto com o silencio e o acordar com o chilrear dos passaros e o mermurar da agua corrente.Felizes são aqueles que conseguem a vivência simples com a Natureza. Faz favor de ser Feliz Um beijo Amigo Ruy Querida Amiga EMMA.

Viver é complicada nesta terra, mais é terra cheia de personalidade - cheia da viva - uma vida que talvez não é para sempre... estou com sorte chegava cá. Beijos.

Escrevo-te em Português!! Em Portugal,sê portugues. Tiveste o bom senso de escolher uma das regiões mais tipicas mas mais pobres de Portugal;no entanto,onde onde as gentes são mais sãs,puras e verdadeiras.Sou da região-Cernache do Bonjardim,mas,por força das circunstancias,vim viver para Lisboa.Hoje vivo na Parede mas,sempre que me é possivel,vou ''beber''ar puro á minha zona.Recordo com saudade as noites calmas as desfolhadas,as vindimas,a apanha da azeitona ,as idas ao lagar etc,etc. Conheço bem a zona,penso que viverás no triangulo Figueiró,Bouçã,Cabril;ou será Ribeira D'Alge?.De qualquer maneira,Parabens e sê Feliz!!! Ruy Cara Emma.

Having nearly strangled a few people out of sheer frustration during my time in Portugal, your blog left me in hoots. I must say that living in our little corner of Alentejo has left me pretty impressed with key people in the local council, tax office and civil records office. My experience with some other aspects of Portugal (both civil service and private sector) has been so bad my (Portuguese) wife has virtually had to restrain me just in case! Patience in Portugal is certainly a virtue. In general, though, my experiences have been very positive, despite the archaic procedures that some (actually very competent) people have to work with. Despite the odd bout of frustration I have loved living in Alentejo and cannot praise my Portuguese neighbours enough for their warmth, hospitality and good humour. I stuck up some great friendships renovating our house and expect to do so again with our next project. I hope that your experiences are equally rewarding and please, please don't stop this blog! I had a such a good larf... Hi Emma,

I've been reading your blog and everything that has/still is happening to you about your estate buying, and I read some of the comments about Portugal or Portuguese people. I'm Portuguese, raised in Germany and living in Portugal for over 20 years and inspite of the economical crises, it's a great country to live in. But it annoys me that there are still a few of Portuguese shitty smatheads, who think that they can 'cheat on' and gain from foreign buyers, specially if they're female. Although native, they also tried it on me. I think that it had to do with the way I was raised that makes me different from the average Portuguese woman, cause I'm like you... I look everything up. Considering estate laws, they have changed to favor the Portuguese State and it's hard and far to expensive to discriminate everything at the councils. But I'm sure I'm not giving you any new. I also read your posts about your trips around Portugal... and I hope that, during that time, you met nice and honest ones... whom you may do some business with. Although I've got a German rip, I love Portugal. Nevertheless, I'm the first who cries for whom wants to hear that we should belong to Spain... ;D Keep sharing your adventures... cause i'm to lazy to write mine... Nowadays I work at Caldas and I met Caldas through your trip. Thank you for sharing :) Hi Emma…
