Late April stork and puppy updates
A little bit of news from the Krystal Ship is that it is 25 years today from the date we first met!
A quarter of a century…..😳 where does the time go?!
In other news, the baby storks are getting bigger!
Storks nesting and clacking:
More on the stork. This is a common sight in Silves; storks atop the lampposts, calling out to others with lots of clacks, then swooping through the skies.
The puppy is getting bigger too! We are busy with training, and lots of cuddles 💜
And we’ve had some nice walks too:
local sewage treatment plant! 
We call this house Saul’s house as he has his eye on it; it’s on the market for €2.5million 😂 
the apricot-like fruit on this tree is nespera – we had never come across them before 
Olwen on the banks of Rio Arade 
old hives piled up outside the property of the local honey seller 
campsite shut! 
and back at the site
Our only other bit of news is that we had a bbq fire 😳 but thankfully no one was injured. We knew how to react when it happened, as our friends Shaun and Caroline had had the same type of fire in December! Cadac are collecting ours for investigation and sending us a replacement (not the same model!). If you look at the bottom here, you will see that the base melted all the way down the legs of the BBQ.
Our Cadac is now back on the mothership. Back to peeling spuds. Who remembers this?!
