We were the only ones left this morning when we got up. Our partner countries all had morning flights home( and some through the night). We have had a relaxed morning packing, having breakfast and also managed a little shopping. The Portuguese weather was thinking of us today and acclimatising us ready for home.... it was cool, cloudy and even spitting! 

We can’t thank our Portuguese hosts enough for a fabulous week and for making us feel so welcome. We return to the UK with lots of memories. The children have made many new friends and had the opportunity to experience lots of things they wouldn’t necessarily be able to back home.

A big thank you to Marilyn for looking after us all week and finally thank you to the children for being fantastic! They’ve made us very proud and have been great ambassadors for our country.
