'Blinking Flamingos' is...
…simply the musings of a middle-aged bloke living in the East Algarve; a bloke who has no idea what he’s doing. I write about my experiences, as well as the activities and places that I’ve enjoyed. If you aim to move here, or just want to spend some time in a lovely part of the world, hopefully my books will give you some idea of what to expect.
Life here isn’t always straightforward, in fact it can be downright frustrating, but it’s always interesting, and the weather/food/beaches are stunning.
And them ‘Blinking Flamingos’? They’re what I see from my roof terrace.

Winter here isn’t so bad after all…
Well, January has been bloody lovely, hasn’t it? I spent the first two or three weeks coughing and spluttering and feeling like crap, then, just as I was…
Blimey, that was easy!
I get up and check my weather app. It seems to be more accurate if I use it as a short-term weather forecaster rather than a long-term one. The app tells me…
