I spent the day learning how to take (better) portraits with a group of extremely nice Portuguese photographers. One of the rules of the group, however, is that I am not allowed to upload any of the images of people I photographed without their permission, and even then only on Flickr... unless they agree otherwise. Anyway, enough of that. I left Scotland in midwinter and arrived in Portugal in midsummer. It is very warm here - I think I might even have got sunburn on my forehead! It really is a very hard life, I wouldn't want to wish it on anyone else.
