Thank you for taking us with you! I thoroughly enjoyed all the places. I absolutely love herbs and grow them on my kitchen window. I am really obsessed with basil and grow several varieties 🙂.You are so lucky to have a garden❤. Antiquing is my true passion. So, antique and thrift stores are the places where I get my inspiration (apart from the nature, of course). The church is amazing! ❤
You’re most welcome, Alisa! I’m so glad you enjoyed this week’s video-it truly means a lot. 😊 I love herbs too, but basil and echinacea are still a work in progress for me! We feel so blessed to have this space and slowly grow more of what we love. Antique shops are such a joy! The UK has so many great ones, and I loved the adventure of finding hidden gems. It took me a while to discover where to go, but now I have a few favourites. I can’t wait to take you along on treasure hunts for our home. You’ll definitely see plenty of nature because it’s my happy place-right alongside the garden. 🌿 This year, I’m challenging myself to explore more on my own and share the journey with you. I do get a little anxious going somewhere new alone, but once I’m there, I always wonder why I worried in the first place! 😄
@SilverCoastDiaries I can't wait to follow you in your new travels and discoveries! And also to see the progress of your lovely garden. Your vlog is so inspiring, giving me both the feeling of excitement and tranquility by the way you intertwine the themes. BTW, I also enjoyed the Lidl haul. I even chuckled seeing that you've bought exactly the same that is usually on my shopping list😁
@ Thank you so much for your kind words, it truly means a lot to me! You made me laugh with the Lidl shopping comment. 😄 I’m excited too, but I’m taking things slowly and sensibly I have a lot to learn in Portugal. One thing I love about Portugal is how relaxed the people are-things take time, and I’m learning to embrace that. I always get nervous when planning travel and end up worrying, so I’m pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I’m really looking forward to more adventures in Portugal! 😊
Approaching life at a slower pace allows us to truly appreciate the little everyday joys, and I feel blessed to share a glimpse of this beautiful country and its rich culture with you all. ❤
Enjoyable video. Growing herbs is so much fun. Love thyme. Goes in so many dishes and you can make a butter using thyme and a drop of lemon juice. Wonderful to sauté vegetables or on chicken. I'll make it in the summer, roll it up and freeze for use in winter. Sanctuary was impressive. Hello from a snowy Oregon, US.
Hi Melissa, thank you so much for your lovely message! Growing herbs is such a joy, and I love how you use thyme it sounds absolutely delicious! I’ll have to try making that butter, it sounds perfect for adding a little extra flavour to dishes. I love rolling it up and freezing it for winter such a great tip! ❄ The sanctuary truly is a special place, and I’m so glad you enjoyed seeing it. Sending you warm wishes all the way from Portugal to snowy Oregon, stay cosy! ☕❤
Hi Christina, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It took me a while to find antique shops in Portugal since everything is so old-school, and not everything is online, which I love. It’s been quite the adventure! I’ve linked this antique shop, and I hope you get to go on a little treasure hunt yourself. 😊
Adorei o video. Quanto a lojas de antiguidades ha varias a caminho da Ericeira em Mafra edea estrada de Sintra a Ericeira. Tambem ha uma feira anual na Cordoaria Nacional em Lisoa com muitos representantes de todo o pais, vai ser entre 9 e 17 Maio 2025.Ha tambem varias feiras pelo pais, basta procurar na internet os locais. Tudo de bom para si
Olá Maria, espero que estejas bem! Ainda bem que gostou do vídeo e obrigada por partilhar - as suas recomendações deixaram-me tão entusiasmada! As plantas, as antiguidades e a natureza são verdadeiramente o meu remédio feliz. Também adoro arquitetura, edifícios históricos e igrejas - não há falta deles aqui! Agradeço muito as sugestões e vou mesmo explorar. Acho que encontrei a Cordoaria Nacional na minha pesquisa - se bem me lembro, é preciso um bilhete para aceder? Desejo-vos uma semana maravilhosa! 😊
How wonderful! You didn’t get to go inside? It has different opening times for visits. That’s a shame it’s such a beautiful place! I hope you enjoyed the video, though I know it’s never quite the same as experiencing it in person.

Great video. I enjoyed that little antique shop. I also live on the silver coast but unfortunately don’t have any antique shops in my area.

I was at the Sanctuário do Senhor Jesus da Pedra almost exactly one year ago. I was closed so I only saw the outside.
How wonderful! You didn’t get to go inside? It has different opening times for visits. That’s a shame it’s such a beautiful place! I hope you enjoyed the video, though I know it’s never quite the same as experiencing it in person.
Not quite the same but still very good. Thank you.
You're most welcome. I hope you have a lovely week.
