I was lucky to have a long weekend in Portugal for my friends’ wedding recently. Reading on holidays is simple- slather on a high factor suncream (and if you have a free tissue flap on your foot, whack on a sock to prevent scars burning…), some sunglasses and a hat. Find a suitable spot and a cold drink and proceed with reading. If you fancy making blog readers jealous, take photos of your scenic location.
