Welcome to the Jubilee summer issue of Portugal Life and Travel . We very much hope that you enjoy the delightful black and white photographs of Her Majesty ’ s State visit to Portugal in 1985 . This issue contains a variety of contrasting articles . The main interview is with a very good friend of mine Mary Cornelius-Reid . I have admired Mary ’ s work for many years and it is particularly rewarding to see the growth of Monte da Palhagueira nursing home in the Algarve .
My special thanks to Katya Bauval for organising my memorable visit to Herdade dos Grous , which was both enlightening and enjoyable . The article and the photographs hopefully will encourage you to pay a visit to this delightful resort in the Alentejo . The front cover photograph evokes the ambience of the region

Shirley Booth ’ s article on olive oil is extremely interesting . After reading this I am sure you will appreciate the amount of work that goes into the production of olive oil .
The meeting with Constantino Jordan was particularly interesting . His recently formed group ’ s aims and objects are particularly important as Portugal , like other countries in Europe is facing difficult times . It is encouraging to see signs of recovery in a proactive way . The country needs tourism and investment in order for it to recover and thrive once more .
I was delighted to meet with Dr Thomas Kaiser at Vale de Lobo Medical Centre who offers superb medical support to the area .
My thanks , once again go to Mary Wilson who has worked tirelessly on this edition and the Callaghan Group welcome Maxine Marshall who has recently been appointed as the Development Manager for the Algarve .
Once again I am sure you will agree that the design work that has gone into this production is of the highest standard and I am so grateful to Phil Harding for his enthusiastic dedication .
