live in Portugal

I would love to live somewhere warm with friendly people but close enough to the UK for visits. Portugal seems to fit the bill

I would not be adverse to moving to Spain, France or Italy, either. I love France (been there several times), and Spain is great also. I hear great things about Italy, but I have never been. The Portuguese people are absolutely lovely and it is an exceptional country! Plus I have family there. It is less expensive than Spain, France or Italy and closer to my U.S. east coast relatives, so I hope to make this dream come true within the next 5 years.

it started years ago when i was very depressed. i imagined life by the sea in portugal. i would have a simple place and even do laundry by hand and hang it out to dry. i would have fresh fruits and vegetables, and my love was there—we even had a family!

my love is gone now, but i still dream of happy seaside days in portugal..
