This is where I was this weekend - soaking up the late september sun in fabulous Lisbon. Stylish and beautiful, this city combines elegant renaissance squares with winding, narrow streets, found in the bairro alto (like the old town, but literally means 'high quarter') and the quieter residential area of the alfama district, where lines of washing hang gaily over the tiled facades of the traditional, brightly coloured pink or white-washed houses. easing myself back into the drizzly gloom that greets me in Geneva this morning, i am listening to this

to soothe my spirits.
