After the commemoration of the Text Festival anniversary, I had intended to continue blogging with some new theoretical thinking but that schedule went out of the window (temporarily) due to various pressing activities in Portugal and back in Manchester. The biggest change was our move to the town of Barcelos. Like Porto, it is UNESCO heritage listed but is a much quieter and gentler pace; fewer tourists, and more often noticeably visiting, passing through, with a different purpose - our new place is actually on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.
Barcelos is a beautiful little town, in easy reach of Porto and Braga. It has surprised me to discover that I can say I have never lived somewhere that makes me as genuinely happy as Barcelos does.
