It was with a bit of a heavy heart that I boarded the plane with Thomas and Margaux out of Lisbon. In the end, although we (especially I) loved living there, there were more reasons to leave than to stay.
I will miss so many things: my friends, their kids, the beaches/ the Tejo River, the signposted Anti-Stress Zone just down up the street from us (complete with a deck chair on the sign and a chess table in the square), the summer weather, downtown Cascais... and so many more that I'm sure will become more obvious as time passes.
But there it was. The movers had been and gone, so we took our belongings for the next couple of months with us to a hotel for our last night. Thomas headed off to work for his final day on Thursday, April 2nd, while I had a delightful, impromptu catch-up with Margaux and some of my Mums and Tots friends (with kids, of course!) in the Marechal Carmona Park... yet another place I'll miss.
Miss Maggie and I headed off to meet Thomas and we made our way to the airport - thankfully comfortably making our flight. You just never know these days... I'd like to call it the 'Margaux Factor' but in reality it's usually me who's the issue. And off we went, for Margaux's 31st plane flight!
Here's a little video of it, for your viewing pleasure :) Goodbye Cascais...
