Story by Amy Matthews (14 July 2024)

Sitting outside a restaurant in Porto, Portugal – I smiled as I watched the world go by.

I was relaxing after I had enjoyed the most incredible brunch complete with a traditional croquette and some white port, when a softly spoken gentleman appeared and asked if he could share the table.

It was a very busy restaurant and I was technically at a table for two, so I gestured to the chair and he joined me.

Now, there's always a moment as a woman alone in public where, when you're approached by a man, you're concerned.

Will they do or say something that puts you at ease? Or will they confirm your initial suspicion that you are indeed going to have to find an excuse to leave?

Luckily the gentleman did the former. But for those thinking this is the start of a whirlwind holiday romance, allow me to burst your bubble – I am not his type.

'My husband is back in England,' he smiled. 'And I'm meeting a friend out here who is giving me a vineyard tour, do you mind if I join you?'...

I found such a deeply romantic and meaningful friendship with a 60-year-old gay accountant outside a bar in Portugal, and for that I'll forever be thankful.

A simple 'feel good' story for a change.

Oh Jessica Rose, what an unexpectedly wonderful experience.  I'm a bit envious.  I so treasure those moments when I suddenly face the unknown and it turns out well.  Carolina

Such a heart warming story.  Going to Porto in two weeks, maybe I'll happen across my own Amy 😊
