Sintra is a beautiful place! We visited Quinta da Regaleira yesterday and I loved it - you can see more pics in stories, including the huge underground Initiation Well, the gothic mansion and the worlds greatest statue (I’ll not ruin the story by telling you!). I’ve put all my Portugal stories in a highlight in case you’d like to see. 😆 Do you think you’d like to go exploring here?

When I was really small I used to want to be an astronaut, then when I was a bit older I wanted to be a vet. Then I decided that sick animals were way too stressful and sick people was the right career choice for me. 👩🏼‍⚕️ Even though I’m not an astronaut (probably for the best, I would have got travel sick or accidentally returned to Earth with a deadly alien species), these space based patches are still some of my faves. Tap the pic to see the tags! What did you want to be when you were little? My brother wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but I don’t think he’s managed it yet.

We’re off on holiday today! We’re flying to Portugal this morning and spending time in Sintra and Lisbon. Does anyone have any recommendations? @nikkimcwilliams has already informed me there’s a pink McDonalds, clearly a cultural highlight. 😂

Our silk scarves are designed, printed and made in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Designed by HOYFC, printed by @befabbecreative and made by @kalopsiac - I wrote about our scarf making experience over on the blog if you’d like to know more (I’ll put a link up in stories!). There’s a video of them being printed which is pretty cool. I love supporting local businesses and making things that are ethically and environmentally friendly. ♻️🌍
