Most people believe that the city of Barreiro is, probably, one of the most uninteresting places on Earth. But those people have never visited the Alburrica Windmills, built circa 1852 in the Alburrica Beach (in the mouth of River Tagus).

I love windmills - and, obviously, I quinda like this place, despite having visited it during an extremely gloomy day.

Sharpe's Command comes out tomorrow (although it's already been seen on shelves at bookstores in the UK) and my copy comes next week but UGHHH I am FROTHING at the MOUTH at all the ideas of things that could happen in this book that i'm both excited to think about and also DON'T want to think about bc I really, really don't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed. But anyways I can't help myself so, based off the synopsis: We know that it's set in May, just after Badajoz, at Almaraz- there's a strategic crossing of the Tagus there that the French are holding. However, Almaraz is a two hour walk from Casatejada where Teresa's home is!!!!!!! And we KNOW Teresa is in the book. But this begs the question: is Sharpe escorting her and their daughter north to Casatejada? It's been less than a month since the siege of Badajoz, and Teresa and Antonia left the city with him and are with him at the end of the book. It's more likely that she's probably left with her men and she meets Sharpe when he marches north to said location, and her partisans have been scouting the area and skirmishing, and also know the alternate roads to bypass the French and the fortress. So at some point surely he must visit Casatejada and see Antonia!!!! But also I do love the idea of Sharpe escorting them bc he so desperately wants to spend time with his new baby and wife...he loves Antonia so much...he wants them to be safe ;w; Or, alternatively, though I know it's the less likely of the two, there's the nice idea of where he's escorting Teresa and Antonia with her partisans and it's Ramon who comes to greet them and give news- after all, we know Ramon took over for Teresa when she was in Badajoz for 16 months. He'd be SO excited to see Teresa and Sharpe again and meet his niece!! A little family reunion- also oh yeah, the French are blockading the main road, etc. Also just imagine Ramon being like "RICHARD I HAVE KILLED MANY FRENCH WITH MY RIFLE THANK YOU!! :D" bc he LOVES that rifle and now he has a BROTHER IN LAW!!! AND A NIECE!! Anyways. There is a lot of potential for interactions and characters and god. I shouldn't get my hopes up. I am very seriously downplaying my hopes bc this is a book that could, and I hope, have a decent amount of scenes with Teresa being a partisan in it in the books. We see it only in bits and pieces in Company and Enemy, and in Gold she's more of a hostage turned ally than anything. Please Corndog. Please give us juicy Teresa content. PLEASE give us Teresa fighting and being cool like she is in the films PLEASE! ALSO PLEASE LET SHARPE BE WITH HIS DAUGHTER MORE WE ONLY GET THAT SNIPPET AT THE END OF SWORD AND A BRIEF MENTION IN SKIRMISH AND ENEMY....PLEASE...I'M BEGGING...don't just give us three pages of her and Antonia...a girl can dream 🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been neglecting my promise of Portugal pictures from 2019. Here’s one of the castle of Almourol on an island in the Tagus River.
