Unforgettable, one of my all time favourite songs. Isn’t it yours? I don’t even have to mention Nat King Cole and it’s smouldering away in your head. He certainly had that “unforgettable” quality.
Some of you know that I have just experienced one of the most unforgettable weekends of my life- the wedding of my daughter Lisa to Leonardo. The honeymoon alone is worth a post, and I wasn’t even there! But I will tell you that they had snow in Venice- a magical thought. It swirled around the lagoon like a giant snowdome. And the claxons sounded for Aqua Alta whilst they were at a masked ball. The water rose and rose to the first floor of the hostess’ home in Ca D’Oro, and they had to remain till 4.30 in the morning when the level had dropped sufficiently to escape. Never mind- the band and the opera singers played on, and the food was good. I think that definitely comes in the category of ”unforgettable”, but the memory isn’t mine to cherish.

- Lisa and Leonardo, hand in hand, as they shoud be
-
- Where I like to end my days- my Tavira roof top
-
- Sunrise on my roof terrace, the moon still in the sky
-
- Appearing in the Carnaval myself at Loule was unforgettable
-
- “That” bridge- I’ve shown you it from every angle
-
- Tavira beach with its lone cockle shell hunter
-
- An almond blossom walk through the Algarve countryside
-
- A very special city for me, Porto
-
- And that long dreamed of trip on the Douro

I’m pretty sure most of you will have unforgettable moments in your life, and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you. Click on the lucky snake logo or the link to visit Jakesprinter with me. Thanks Jake for being unforgettable yourself.
That honeymoon sounds magical! And I can well imagine how unforgettable those vignettes in your gallery must be! Love the Porto shot in particular.
What a memory Porto was, Madhu! I must get a grip on planning this year.
I love your collection, Jo
It felt good sharing in your memories …
Nice to have them to share, Paula. You’re always welcome.
Truly wonderful collection of unforgettable moments Jo,
Thanks for sharing my friend
Many more unforgettable moments ahead of us, Jake, I hope.
I’m sure the whole experience was unforgettable, for you and for them (especially their honeymoon!). It sounds perfect, except for the part about being trapped at the party because the water rose too high!
She didn’t seem to mind, Cath. Starting the conversation with “Mam, I’ve got a sore throat- can’t talk too long”, she then spent 45mins talking and I felt like I’d been there!
Good for her! She was obviously very excited to get you caught up on every detail!
A beautiful collection of unforgettable moments.
Thanks, Colline. Looking back, it’s been a great year.

mother so happy for her child! love it!
It’s taken her a long while to find such happiness, Miljo Anne, and I do so hope life is kind to them, at least for a little while.
Wonderful series, Jo! Certainly unforgettable!
Thanks, Naomi. Looking back, it’s been an unforgettable year.
An unforgettable collection! Life is full of them and I’m glad you got them on film
Thank you, sir. Hopefully many more to come.
Congratulations on your daughter’s wedding! What a happy day. Snow in Venice, oh my!
Thank you! It’s an awesome thought, isn’t it?
It was pretty hot last time I was there.
My Dad has that on a 78! My fave picture is probably yours too – you can’t beat a good wedding!
Absolutely, Dallas!
I like your writing style and your photography. You seem to be a very nice (and happy) person. I’m glad I found your blog.
Oh I just love your daughter’s choice of bridal gown. What fun!
Thank you so much, Mona. That’s a lovely thing to say.
Fun, and a huge amount of work, but she loves sewing and making.
Beautiful collection for the theme! Esp. the bridge!
Ah, that bridge is all mine! I love it. Many thanks, Amy.
Ouw .. we have the same favorite song ”Unforgettable” Net King Cole.
He was such a sweetheart!
Unforgettable indeed. Love each picture that reminds us what a fun and exciting adventure should be. Thanks.
Many thanks, sir. It’s been a fine year, in many respects.
Lovely Porto shot, I got back yesterday and had a great trip – what a fantastic city (and the Port was pretty good too!).
Glad you enjoyed it, Lucy. Your weather a bit mixed, but ok for February? Looking forward to reading about it.
We had one perfect sunny day, one drizzly one (spent mainly inside a Port lodge) and one in between so not bad for February! Hope to start going through the photos and writing it all up soon.
Your description just transports! We are hoping to get to Venice, it is sad to hear that it is slowly sinking.. Your daughter and her husband look fantastic!
Thanks, Smidge! It’ll wait for you, I’m sure. Aqua Alta cannot do much for the foundations, but it’s survived all these years. (I pinched a few of her Venice photos for my Six word Saturday this week)
A lifetime full of unforgettable moments – what more could one ask?
Yes, it would seem greedy to want more, Meredith.
