It’s just about conceivable that the subsidence and tree roots are worth it. It’s a pretty drive. Unfortunately the van now reeks of pickles due to a large jar of cornichons having fallen over and leaked in the fridge. #wp #livereportingfromtheroad #lumpy #bumpy

Time to move on. Stocked up at Lidl in Vila do Bispo and now we are on the horribly bumpy road that previously we said that we would never use again… It may be a lengthy journey, for such a short distance. Don’t want to ruin the van. #wp #livereportingfromtheroad

Back again. The day does not demand soup, it’s warm and sunny, but we had the soup again anyway as it is so very good. Today I had clams again, this time with spaghetti and garlic. Lots of garlic. Lots and lots of garlic. I am a happy woman. #wp #portugal #sagres #food #lunch #clams #pasta #pogged

Lunch was very good. Vegetable soup for two, pork and clams for me (note the whole cloves of garlic!), Bacalhau con Natas for him, figgy tart finished me off and he had the flan. All very good and excellent coffee. If we were not leaving soon, I am sure we would come back here. #wp #portugal #sagres #lunch

A home from home at the end of the world. The view from my lunch table. #wp #sagres #portugal #ulygans #ulygansabroad #blacksheep

Space constraints require pre-cooking of the Salardaise potatoes. I will cook them through and brown them now, then add the garlic when I reheat, after the duck is crisped in the air fryer. We only have 5 amps so it’s one task at a time as the frying pan won’t fit on the gas cooker! #wp #gastrovanner #gastrovanners #birthdaydinner
