As minhas mais preciosas memórias da infãncia residem nesta velha casa de pedra. Felizmente que tem sido preservada com muito gosto e veneração pela sua história. Nos anos setenta, todos os sábados chegava de Viseu a Beijós no autocarro (a “camioneta”) e subia dois ou três quilómetros a pé até chegar a este lugar e deparar com esta vista que me enchia a alma de alegria pura.

My most precious childhood memories reside in this old stone house in Portugal. I am thankful that it has been preserved and maintained with good taste and reverence for its history. In the seventies, while I was in high school, every Saturday I would walk a couple of miles through the woods from the bus stop and arrive here to this first glimpse of the house, and every time I would be reminded of the feeling of pure joy.
