Hello and welcome

I'm Geoff Walsh and for the next week or so I'm the 'Branco Blogger'. That's Castelo Branco here in Portugal. I'm the one of the right of the photo and here on this site you'll find selected writings and photos of my visit to Castelo Branco(CB). By the way, if you want to see the wrinkles close up then simply click on the photo! You'll find some links to further info on CB and Porto to the right.

My sister-in-law Jini has lived and worked her in Castelo Branco for the past 15 years, she runs a school teaching English as a second language to a range of students. Some months ago she was diagnosed as having a tumor on her left kidney. This led to her having surgery on Monday 20th March.
