Tia Zeta

Only two weeks now before Joan and I make the move to Santa Luzia and we are both eagerly anticipating the start of our new life. We are also looking forward to meeting again our old friend Donna Zeta. ((above)

Zeta makes a daily excursion around Santa Luzia calling into shops or friends houses often for no more than a chat.
With her thick algarvian/Santa Luzian accent it is often necessary for Zeta to repeat what she says several times in order to understand her.( Imagine an English speaking foreigner conversing with a broad Glaswegian and you get the picture.)
 Over the years we have befriended Zeta and, missing nothing that happens in Santa Luzia, she is usually  knocking on our door within hours of us arriving in town. It is a joy when that face breaks into a huge smile. She is truly a beautiful old lady from a beautiful old village.
