We live in a beautiful quinta in the algarve countryside, with about 8 acres of gardens and paddocks, and a pool. We have 4 dogs of our own, and sometimes a few friends dogs in the garden. I have 3 beautiful gentle horses, who we ride often. I am 57, and English, and my husband is 73, and Irish. My goodness, that sounds old and we are NOT old
