I have quoted @James 'AnOldGuyinEurope' Holley this week in my Resident column which begins... "Did you see that recent UK Guardian ‘article’: “Why are so many Americans moving to Portugal? Apart from the obvious reason…”? And did it irk you like it irked me? There are a number of things about the headline alone that congest the craw, as it were. “So many”, for a start, is such an unhelpful and subjective pair of words, and don’t get me started about the “obvious reason”, at least not yet, which is as crass as it’s clever in drawing in the reader, like a mouse to cheese-topped trap ... More." To put the gist of my piece another way, "know your why" as @Veronica - Ondrejech recently shared, also on Good Morning Portugal! It's really important for best results 😉 Have a great weekend, bom fim de semana 😘 PS Another community member has also been busy writing, see: "Breakfast of the Damned: Tavira Edition". Can you guess who it is?
